Chapter Four

Hades' PoV

After that evening my girlfriend left and Kore told me she made her way back to her bedroom and never came back out, I felt guilty, for a matter of fact I had spent the rest of my night awake thinking about going to her room and apologising for Mithe's poor behaviour.

The next morning I headed my way to work and as the king of the underworld I played a very important role in the afterlife of people, I rode in my Sweptail by Rolls Royce, while I made a phone call to my assistant which happened to be my girlfriend, for how unprofessional it sounded I couldn't really do anything about it because I loved her.

"Minthe, get the folders sorted by the time I reach there or you're fired" I demanded while I checked my hair on the mirror outside on the side of my car.

I was about to cut the line until she thought she had something important to say that obviously was more important than the paperwork.

"Wait darling, why do you always have to talk to me and treat me this way, at least say good morning or is it because of yesterday?" she asked groaning annoyingly, I whispered some swear words beneath my breath and just hang up.

I obviously did not have that much time to put up with her stupid nonsense.

"Where are the files, Minthe? I demanded the files for my work" I quickly made my way to her office as there where no files on my desk to my surprise, I made my way inside her office that was right next to mine and scattered all the papers on her desk, my dark hair fell on my forehead as it got messy.

I picked up a cigarette from my back pocket. The files just had to be ready on my desk, I thought unhappily as I passed my fingers in between my dark hair.

"Darling" She whispered and I feel her smirking as she entered her office and closed the glass door behind her.

"I'm so sorry that I couldn't finish the paperwork in time so I gave the work to one of the workers; I know, oh boy I should have called you about it even before you put a foot in here, you know what Hades you can have me on my desk waiting..." She explained as she made her way to her desk, right in front of me.

She sat on her desk and crossed her legs in the tight professional skirt she wore and with her fingers, she dared me to step closer to her little fragile body.

"Just for you to work on..." As I got closer and grasped onto her waist and as our lips were about to meet.

I heard a knock on the door and I quickly got away from her and made my way to open it, Minthe got of her desk and walked behind me.

"These are for you, Mr Hades" My niece Apollo stood there before me and in his hands he held flowers, I took them in my hands and thanked him then I proceeded to give him a tip from my pockets.

"Make sure you got to practise after this and don't overwork yourself" I said, he looked exactly like his twin sister Artemis.

"Why worry about me when your with that" he gave a disgusted look to Minthe and walked off.

Probably one of my workers told Apollo about my sudden movement to this office.

"He's just like his dad and I think it's a good thing for her miss Minthe to know her limits inside and outside of work areas" I instructed before making my way out her office.

Once I placed the flowers on my desk I saw a little card in them, a pinkish card with flowers on it, the design was unprofessional, basic and quite pitiful, I picked it up and checked what was written on it and I feel my cheeks getting warmer.

"These flowers are for you like when you're always there for me, thanks for yesterday and have a nice day at work hoping you still use the same excuse to live with me in my little apartment" I laughed at myself and took the flowers in my hands again smelling them with a very embarrassing and unprofessional wide smile on my face.

She could make even the oldest and toughest of men blush.

I quickly grabbed my phone and called Minthe and just as if nothing happened before she rushed to my office.

"But she bought me flowers" I whined.

"Excuse me, King of Darkness, it's consider a sign of affection and care; now may I go I've been in here for the past half hour just listening to you talking about the flowers that bi-" she quickly interrupted herself.

I looked at her scared reflection from the big glass mirror in front of me and saw her eyes getting wider, she looked like she just saw a ghost and she placed her hand on her mouth not scream.

My eyes turned darker, the greenish colour disappeared from them as they turned totally black, going to a very dark blue.

"I'm so sorry, Hades honey, remember when you said you loved me I heard you talking to Aphrodite about me and I love you too, please" she forced words out of her mouth as I used my power to hold her by her neck.

I slowly turned around.

"I want you out" I barked at her and she quickly rand out of my office once her hills touched the floor and my powers vanished.

"Boss, I heard the commotion is everything okay?" A worker walked in and hid behind the door with a concerned look on her face as she tried to smile.

"Can you please find whoever miss Minthe gave my souls leaflets to because I'll be needing them in my office at least by the end lunch" I said looking down passing a hand over my forehead.

"Anything else Boss" she asked stepping in and holding her laptop closer to her chest.

"Nothing else, you may go" I said.
