A loud gunshot echoed among the throes of trembling walls .

The dagger fell from Hade's hands that had been shot.

A frightful gasp left Andrea mouth who from the beginning was concerned for Andrew because she was well aware of her father in law's love for his son.

But this gunshot shocked and surprised her
.

The surprise was not  limited to her face as the look had made it to the  faces of quarrelling men too.

One of the faces started twitching in anger and a painful frown marred the features of the countenance ( face ) in sheer pain.

"How dare you Hades , how dare you raise this dagger to brutally hurt your brother?"

"Father I can expl....."

"Enough , I had enough of your explanations .

Every time , every time I have overlooked your mistakes and it is only now that I  have realised that I have overlooked your character as well.

  What have you made yourself Hades .

Look at you , this is not my son , this is not my son."

"Never in this mansion had anyone hurt a woman , Never
Have you forgotten your mother.
Can you see her here?

No and do you  know why Hades?
Because she choose you over her .

This is what her sacrifice means to you .

She is no more , no more and here you go about hurting and squashing the very cause she always stood for.

The grand lord shouted at the top of his voice that started to crack at the mention of his late wife.

"Father , This is a bitch you have bought .

She is a slut . And sluts deserve it don't they .

God knows she might have warmed so many beds because currently she is warming this bastard's ." 

He  pointed at Andrew with his other hand .

Do we not sell the assassins to local brothels father .

They are punished so by that logic  I was simply punishing  this hoe.

And she kinda likes it rough don't you bitch "

Hades barked finishing off with a pathetic smirk

"Come here "

"I said come here hoe "

he barked at Andrea who started to tremble under his disturbing and lustful gaze.

" Come and sit on my lap and show my old man and my brother whose bitch you are " .

" Show my father that a  hoe you are whose cries to every man's bed , Don't you? "

He smirked with an evil glint in his eyes.

Andrea shuddered .

Never had she felt this terror.

It was as if  leeches crawled everywhere  on her skin. She was a kind hearted soft spoken young girl of a family who had inculcated in her the value of dignity.

This was not just a huge insult for her but for the Payton family as well .

She feared Hades because she knew his sadistic cruel self up close in this one month.

He was her master and she a slave .
He had placed in her so much dread. Fear was the best teacher of obedience.

Even though her mind refused to follow his whims and commands it seemed her body had a mind of it's own .

It wanted to prevent the upcoming brutal torchers.

Just as she stood in between the monster's legs  an onslaught of sobs wracking her body , a calloused hand pulled her towards a hard chest hiding her.

Andrew roared

" You bastard , how dare you ?
I can't believe I use to crave for the attention of a filth like you.

You don't deserve to be called a man. "

  Andrew charged towards Hades while his men stood guard in front of Andrea .

Punch after punch were delivered on Hades face.

His nose cracked , his jaw broke but the grand lord did not break his silence seeing his beloved son being beaten black and blue.

In the very next instant Andrew jerked Hades face towards Andrea 's direction who started trembling under his lustful gaze.

"Look at her ,  bloody damn look at that innocence filth. " Andrew screamed at the top of his voice.

" How could you , how could you hurt this woman who did nothing to you , who came here to marry you leaving her family behind you bastard ."

" I always thought that you would change after your ripening age ,
But I forgot once a rapist always a rapist you are you filth".

Hades passed his brother a crooked pyscotic laugh.

"Drew , Drew ,  my baby brother  Drew how I forgot once a lap dog always a lap dog. "

" Earlier you were this old hag dog now you are this slut's toy".

" You are a fool drew
Be a man, there is so much pleasure in dominating the weak , so much pleasure " Hades grunted .

" Woman are just pussies made to fuck and I am born for this.

Why miss the fun drew  .
I allow threesome "

He cackled
He spit blood as Andrew delivered another punch of his face.

"I am going to kill you today , bastard."

Andrew became berserk and started kicking and punching Hades brutally who was unable to defend himself .

Every stood like statues watching the drama unfolding.

Darren Knight was in a shock . He couldn't believe what his ears heard and eyes saw .

This man getting beaten in front of him was not his son , not anymore.

This was not that innocent baby he saw in the crib years ago gazing at the world in imaginative frolic.

He had become a monster, a terrifying one to be said the very least
.

The grand lord couldn't process anything.

He knew his ignorance had driven him to this day where he was witnessing this in front of him .

Just as Andrew took out his gun to shoot Hades it was as if his reverie broke.

No matter how much insanity had gripped his son , Hades was still his flesh and blood. He couldn't let him die but that didn't mean he was going to go unpunished .
