Chapter 18

Hermanes Hacienda


"Where are we?" Lissana asked as she roamed her eyes in the surroundings.

Fresh clean-cut grasses that linger her nostrils, cold breeze of wind that touches her cheeks and swaying the strands of her hair. Her pale white porcelain skin compliments the color of her dress, she was wearing the dress that Hades had bought her. It was perfectly fitted in her body which was like it was tailored just for her, it surprised her that Hades knew the measurements of her body even her feet. The baby pink ruffle dress perfectly complemented her well being.


"We're here in Hermanes Hacienda," he answered looking at her beautiful face that he can't resist looking at.


"Whose hacienda is this?" she asked as she plucked a yellow flower beside her and slip it in her ear which makes him laugh a little.



"Mine before but now it is ours," he answered which Lissana instantly looks at him.


"Ours?" she crinkled her forehead.



"Yes, what is mine is yours," he added giving her a peck in her lips which makes her blush and go red, still she was not yet to used to it that after now they're in a public place and not in their room.


"You are still young Ana, you're too innocent that is why I can't let you out of this world if I can, but it is up to you, it is your choice, it is your decision but there is only one thing I want you to always remember, remember me always Ana. Don't leave me," he stated while looking at her violet piercing eyes.



"Well, then I shall leave you here, walk and roam yourself around, feel free to pluck flowers all you want Ana. I will just be inside, I have to take care of something and Michael, my assistant is there preparing our room and our food," he said and turn his heels and walk away smiling. He can read her mind.



'You're making me crazy Hades. Stop fidgeting Ana! Speak! Why can't you speak? I hate feeling this way,' Lissana thought to herself and without knowing that Hades can hear him.


After Hades left her Lissana roamed herself around and appreciating the flowers, the fresh air and the calmness that soothes her skin. This was her first time to again feel this way after her father left.


She misses him a lot, she misses her mother too even she had not treated her right like her child but she is still her mother. It feels freedom. She smiled as she closes her eyes and breathed the air. She remember the days that they were a happy family, a family that has no problem, plan picnics, see movies, laugh, eat together, planning what to cook for dinner, thinks what to bake, gardening of flowers, painting their fence, planning where to go for a vacation, she misses those things and now she lives in a world of wildness the world that she was not used to.


She smiled at the thought of him, the man who makes her feel a woman. Her smiles fade when she thought about her feelings. Is she in love? She admits yes.


But what about him?


Does he love me? Those were the questions running in her mind. Little did she know the ring in her finger glistened in dark, there was something wrong in her surroundings.



•••
Out in the woods, two men are holding a black telescope looking afar. "Is that her?" a man in a mask asked in his partner.


"Definitely her, I am sure of it. That's her, look, look at this picture. It is her right? Come take a look at it," he answered and waving the picture in front of his face which makes him snarled at him.


"You idiot, hide that. It's time to do what he commanded, let us go. She is alone so it is not that hard to get her, this is just a piece of cake, we will have our half in a million prize in a snap," he muttered which makes them grin while looking at the young lady, Lissana. They were ordered to kidnap her and bid her head as of half in a million.


As the two men walk and were nearing to the young lady, a tall masculine with a dark aura came in front of them which makes them look up and there they saw fiery dangerous eyes piercing through them. They took a big gulp of their saliva as the eyes of the man looking at them like any moment from now is they're going to be a lump of dead meat, cold beads of sweat were starting to form in their foreheads, their breathing became ragged and their heartbeat quicken they didn't even know why they are feeling that way.


The man in front of them didn't even yet not doing anything and yet they are now intense and scared. They didn't even feel the presence if someone was watching and approaching them, it just came so fast. They were at least a half kilometer from the house where the young lady, their target is. So how come they didn't felt his presence so they can at least be aware of what to do, a lot of questions were running in their minds.




"Who are you!" a man shouted grasping his guts and bravery to shout the man in front of him. He was scared, scared the hell out of him but he doesn't want to show it, he must fight. But the man in front of him can sense and smell the scent of terror.



"You'll die if you know."



And within just a blink of an eye, the two men in front of him were now in the ground, bathing with their pool of blood. Their heads were sliced neatly and blood was splitting out and their tongue was already out of their mouth and their legs and arms were completely twisted.



"The name's Hades," he muttered looking at the corpse in front of him. "Michael, clean this shit," he muttered feeling the presence of him approaching fastly like a swift of an air.



"Yes Señor"
