Bride Of Hades Chapter 14

Aurora did not want her son to disturb any of the patients in the hospital because if any of them complained to the upper management Aurora would be in big trouble. She needed this job very badly so they could survive. It would be difficult for her to find a job right now when she did not have a baby sitter, plus, this was the only hospital near their house, and it would be an inconvenience if they had to move.
She really liked living in a smaller town and working in a smaller hospital because she had fewer responsibilities and could always spend her nights with Enzo.
"Mama, please… I want to stay with Uncle," Lorenzo pleaded softly.
"Enzo! Don't…," Aurora was about to scold him harshly when Gabriel interrupted.
"Doctor, don't worry, it's fine, he can stay. I have no problem with him being here," he said.
"But, you need to rest," she hesitated.
"See Uncle Gabe said yes," Enzo nodded enthusiastically.
"It's really okay. He entertains me, I was getting bored sitting here alone all day," Gabriel chuckled.
Aurora was still apprehensive, but she nodded, "Okay you can stay until I finish here," she said.
"Oh, by the way, I'm Aurora, the doctor who took care of your shoulder, so I will checking up on you until you are ready to be released," she said as she looked at Gabriel.
"Nice meeting you. Thanks for fixing my shoulder," Gabriel was semi-conscious when he was wheeled into the hospital, so he did not really remember anything aside from being in the hospital.
Aurora checked his temperature and blood pressure, when she saw everything was good, she checked his IV and was satisfied that he was doing well, "Everything is fine, just take your medicine on time and do not eat spicy food for the next few days," she instructed.
Gabriel nodded. He couldn't help but stare at her, she was too young to have a four-year-old kid, but that was not the reason he was staring. He thought she was beautiful, and her movements were graceful. The kid wasn't bad looking either, he thought, his father was probably very handsome as well.

"Enzo, it's time to say goodbye to your friend," she said after checking on Gabriel. She was thankful that he was kind to her son. Other wealthy men would have probably shooed him away with a shout, scaring him and making him cry.
"Bye, Uncle Gabe, I will come back tomorrow, wait for me okay?" Lorenzo said cheerfully.
"Goodbye champ, I'll be right here, your mommy does not want me to leave yet," Gabriel felt his day had turned out to be better than he anticipated, just because of Enzo.
They were almost to the door when Enzo looked back at Gabriel and said, "Uncle, don't miss me too much. I will be back soon," he said as he blew him a kiss.
"Okay, buddy! I'll see you tomorrow," Gabriel laughed out loud. This kid was something else, he thought.
She was surprised, Enzo had never been attached and affectionate with a stranger before. Something was going on here, and she could not put her finger on it.
After they left, the subordinate said, "Isn't that kid extraordinary?" He did not have any qualms hanging out with them if he only knew they were gangsters.
"I was just thinking the same thing," Gabriel said with a smile.

Dimitri had just finished cleaning up after Gabriel. The people he met were shaking in their boots, they did not expect Hades himself to come down and see them. He had offered them a good deal yet, they not only betrayed him and sold the land to someone else, but they also managed to hurt his brother. And they knew that he would be ruthless because of that. But thankfully, Dimitri spared their lives, only because Gabriel was still alive.
He was in the car making a phone call on the way to his hotel when he thought he saw someone familiar.
"Stop! Stop the car!", he screamed. He got out even before it stopped and ran to where he saw the familiar face. But there were too many people crossing the street, and even as he searched, that person was gone.

Feeling dejected and disappointed, as always, he gritted his teeth and walked back to the car. It was all an illusion. He had been searching for her for so long that he started to imagine her everywhere.
He sighed and said, "Let's go." There was no point in thinking about her, she was lost to him, hopefully not forever.
The past few days had been tiring for him. He did not sleep well last night, then today, he had to travel a long distance to see his brother and deal with their enemies.
He needed a bath to take away all the grime and stress from today. And by the time he was done his dinner had already been delivered and was already laid on the table.
When it came to food, he was very spoiled and particular, only because his dad always employed very talented chefs to prepare their meals, so he had taken that tradition when he grew up. He hired one of the country's best chefs to prepare his meals every day. The food in front of him was not the best, but it would have to do, this was a small town, and there were not a lot of restaurants around here that hired top-rated chefs.
He tried to sleep right after he ate, thinking that with all that food and the activities of the day, sleep would come to him easily, but that was not the case. He just kept on tossing and turning in bed. So he decided to take a stroll around the area to work off his pent up energy,

Aurora wanted to get a few grocery items before they headed home so they passed by the supermarket. Lorenzo, always trying to be a big man, tried to push the heavy trolley for his mommy, but he was having so much difficulty with it that she took pity on him and took it from his hands.
"Mama, can we get this?" "How about this?" "And this mommy?" Lorenzo said as he picked out all the items he wanted.
She just took everything he gave her, but not all of them made it in the trolley. She had to return a few items because he kept selecting a lot of junk food, too many chips, and sweets.
"Baby, you know that eating too much junk food will make your tummy ache, so choose the one you really like and take the rest back," she said to pacify him.
They were having such a good day, and having a meltdown right now won't be good for her.
"Mama, can I have two, pleeeease," he showed two of his fingers and begged.
"Okay, choose 2, and that's it," she compromised after seeing his pitiful face.
The cashier was so enamored at how cute Enzo was that she gave him some free candy. But Aurora always told Enzo not to accept anything from strangers for safety purposes, so he looked at his mom, hesitating, even though he really wanted to take it.
He stared at his mommy for a while before he saw her nod at him. Now it was okay to take it. "Thank you for the candy," he said politely, which made the cashier smile and pinch his cheeks.
"Aiyyo so cute!" she said.

COMPLETED"Seems to me," he whispered, his lips brushing her ear, "that you have two heartbeats." "Oh really?" Dakota raised a brow, unconsciously pressing her thighs together.
