ARIA'S POV:

The car stopped with a screech and mom and I literally ran inside the big mall hand in hand. This mall has just opened and has all the expensive brands. We seldomly used to buy branded things before but now we are only shopping here. Damn, the change is big. Who would've known that papa was hiding so much money!

"Make it fast." Why is his voice always so hot and husky?

Mum gave him a glare to which he look completely unbothered and dragged me inside the first shop. We bought a few dresses for me and mum. They had no hoodies which made me pout. What do I wear at home? Dress? Ew.

"Oh, thank God!", I smiled excitedly as the next shop only had hoodies, shirts, joggers and all the comfort clothes.

Mom chuckled and picked up a night suit set for herself and then helped me choose mine. I bought one with pandas all over it, a onesie with piggies on it. Fucking cute.

I blushed as Maxim let out a amused laugh. Mean.

"What?", I snapped making him laugh louder. So fucking mean.

"Mom, I'm going to the toilet!", I stomped my foot and quickly entered the toilet. Oh, it smells funny. My nose scrunched up as a odd feeling developed inside me. My eyes turned hazy and my mind started going blank. What is going on?

"M--M", I tried to call someone but I felt darkness consuming me.

I was terrified when I woke up. My head hurts and everything feels heavier.

"Mom.", I groaned unable to see in the dark.
"Mom?"
"DAD?"

I put pressure on my elbows to get up but as soon as I did it, I fell back down on the bed, also banging my head against the headboard.

"Motherfucker!", I cursed as the dizziness came back.

In the dark, I moved my hands to the side table and patted it. Where was the fucking switch?

"Oww--shut!", I was about to shout as the harsh lights fell straight into my eyes.

"I see, you're up."

My eyes widened in disbelief. No. Stop dreaming Aria. Get up.

"Look at me pet!", That fucking word had me shivering. It's just a nightmare. Ignore it and get up.

"It's not a dream. I'm here baby.", His voice held a teasing tone but I knew his real face.

My nails dug into the skin of my thighs as I turned my face towards the voice. The sight was enough for me to let out a terrified gasp.

"You look fine."

"It doesn't seem that you missed me a lot pet.", His voice turned darker.

"SPEAK UP!", he shouted and I was quick to pick up the closest thing to me.

"H--hades", I gulped feeling the sweat trickle down my forehead.

"Forgot the manners?", He asked coming forward and the side lamp in my hand was quickly met with his chest as I threw it at him.

He let out an 'Oomph' before giving me another angry glare.

"You don't like it when I behave nicely?", He asked grabbing my neck and I had to stop the vomit rising from my stomach. I was going to be sick.

"Speak up, YOU WHORE!", His shout made me let out all the things I ate on his hand, shirt and everywhere.

"FUCKING BITCH! WHAT DID YOU DO?", He thundered and five guards came rushing in. I heaved loudly emptying my stomach on the floor and watched everyone's face turning away slightly.

"Clean this shit up. Call a maid.", Hades shouted irritated and I found the best time to run as all of their attention was off me.

I patted my pocket to find it still inside. Thanks Maxim. I gagged at the taste in my mouth and saw one guard also vomit outside the door. Two guards ran to pat his back making Hades curse and start opening his shirt. This is the time. I jumped above the puddle on the floor and the two guards tried to hold my hands but ended up slipping on my vomit.

"STOP HER!", Hades growled ordering the guards at door. I pulled the knife outside trying to scare them from it. Don't make me use it

"Get away... I'll i--kill you.", I tried threatening them but the cocky bastards just smirked and started coming towards me. I looked back to see Hades coming slowly towards me too. And then only did I realise the limp in his walk, the fucker can't walk properly. I jumped in air from inside in happiness and pushed the knife into the closest guard's stomach making the other one back away.

He screamed as I pulled it out before running down the closest stairs. There were no other guards in the house which gave me enough time to hide.

Hades shouts and growls could be hear everywhere in the small house as his guards ran to search for me. There were only three guards as the one was sick due to me and the other was injured.

"FIND HER BEFORE HE KILLS US ALL!", The first one to slip on my vomit shouted as I hid inside the cupboard. I was trying hard not to hyperventilate as they searched for me everywhere in the house. Where was the door!?!? I was panicking too much and no skills that Maxim taught me were helping me at this time.

"Keep calm, Aria!", He used to say as he taught me hiding skills.

"The second you breath harder, they will find you.", He had taught me.

"Breath through your nose. Think about the things you love. Calm down your erratic heart.", I repeated the line in my head and instantly my heartbeat started slowing down. I peeked outside from the hole to find no one in sight. I held the knife in a hard grip. This was my last chance to get out of his grasp.

I crawled out of it and into the closest room. I don't know where did they all go. A hand held my elbow making me let out a scream and push the knife into his hand. Hades shouted in pain while trying to grab me from hi other arm.

"I WILL KILL YOU!", He shouted limping towards me as I tried to open the window.

"YOU'RE MINE!", He growled taking out the gun.

"I'm not yours.", I looked him in his eyes and a shocked look covered his face. I won't let down my family.

"I think I'll have to make you remember it then."

"You remember when you cried beneath me? Ate my leftovers like a submissive pet? Sucked my cock? Begged m---"

"STOP IT, YOU RAPIST! YOU'RE A MONSTER WHO RAPED ME, ABUSED ME!", I screamed back heating his already limp leg.

He laughed like a maniac falling down on his knees. The gun was near my feet and I instantly picked it up. I was going to kill him.

His guards stood at the door doing nothing and I looked everywhere to know if this was a trap?

And then only, I saw the guns pressed behind their heads.

The guard in the middle was kicked away as Maxim entered inside. I was quick to throw the gun and the knife away and jump on him.

"Shhh...you did great..I'm so proud of you!", His words were as soft as the look in his eyes.

"He didn't do anything, right?", He asked kicking the back of his head. I shook my head and buried my face in his neck. My hulk.

"WHORE! YOU CAN OPEN YOUR LEGS FOR HIM BUT NOT FOR ME, HM?", The monster kept shouting making Maxim hold tighten on me.

"Go out. Your father must be here by now.", He said putting me down. I nodded kissing his cheek.

"COME HERE ARIA! YOU'RE MINE AND MINE ALONE!", He shouted angrily already crawling his way towards me.

"I AM NOT YOURS! I WAS NEVER YOURS AND I'LL NEVER BE! DO YOU UNDERSTAND YOU SICK BASTARD!", I shouted kicking his face. My anger and hatred knew no bounds at that time as every torture of his started coming back to me.

I kicked him repeatedly completely ignoring his painful groans.

"You deserve to die!", I kicked his chest as he laid immovable on the floor.

My tears were falling down on the floor as the anger inside me started subsiding. Maxim was quick to hug me to him chest and give me to my father.

"P-apa..I was so scared.", I sobbed hugging him tightly.

"Yes, princess..I'm sorry for failing you again.", He whispered making me shake my head. It was not his mistake.

"Haha-- happy fa-mily..aahh..fuck.. I might die Ari-a but I h-ad left something of me inside you...", He sickly smiled coughing blood on the floor.

"What do you mean?", I asked holding Papa's hand tighter.

"He is insane Aria. Come, let's go. Maxim will see him.", Papa hurriedly started taking me out.

"Papa, let me h-", I started asking him to stop but what Hades said next had me shook.

"YOU WERE PREGNANT WITH MY BABY! She died that day!", He shouted and I could hear the sadness and the anguish in his voice.

Baby? My baby?

I touched my flat stomach with shaking hands. That day, that bleeding?

"THEY KNEW BUT THEY NE--", the sound of bullet being fired shut him for good but it opened the way for those thousands of questions inside me.

I felt myself being picked up and carried somewhere but my brain stopped processing anything afterwards. A baby died in my womb. Was it a girl or boy? Why didn't anyone tell me?

All these questions were eating me from inside but not for long because very soon I felt myself drifting off to sleep.
