"If you focus on the , you will continue to . If you focus on the , you will continue to ."——- unknown

7 am at the De Luca Mansion, after what happened yesterday, Samantha thought that everything fall according to her plan.

And because she has no idea what happened behind closed doors, she left her room with smile and act as the winner of her own game.

So when she caught the sight of Lucy at the dining room who quietly arranging the plates and glasses, a devilish smile appeared on her face and pounce at Lucy who was still oblivious at her presence.

"How dare you to show your face here after you made me look like stupid last night! And If you think that you could run away again from my wrath, SL*T! Well you're mistaken because I'm gonna show you where exactly your place, right now, you PATHETIC B*TCH!." She snarled and about to claw Lucy's face but before her hand gets near at Lucy's face, a strong hand grasped it.

"What the f—-." She couldn't finished her sentence because when she saw who is the owner of that hand, her whole b*tchy demeanor quickly crush down — because it's Ares and if only a glare could kill, Samantha will probably six-feet-under.

"Ares! What you're doing? You're hurting me!" Samantha whimpered while trying her best to get away from his grip but Ares has no intention to let her go. His eyes were cold as ice that Samantha want to run because of fear.

'Is this the woman that I let to stay at my house because I felt so guilty? And because she's carrying my unborn child?'— Ares asked himself.

"Let me go Ares. You're hurting me." She dramatically cried but no tears that send Ares in rage because he had enough of her.

"Oh really because if I found out that you're fooling me, I swear I'm gonna hurt you more."

"What are talking about? I am not fooling you Ares!" She replied in wide eyes. Ares then looked at Hades' direction and he understood what he's trying to say. Hades threw her bedsheet with blood stain in front of her that made Samantha lose her color when she recognized the sheet.

"Then explain this!" Hades ordered to the trembling in fear—- Samantha.

"Explain what? It doesn't m-make sense. I a-accidentally c-cut my f-finger that's why there's blood on that sheet!" She stuttered and trying to avoid Ares deadly glare.

"Then let's go to the hospital and let's see if you're really pregnant. Because if you are lying then I'm gonna kill you —— slowly and painfully, so tell me now, are you pregnant—- yes or no." Ares asked in cold tone but deadly. Samantha's lips keeps trembling because her plan to make Ares for herself will never gonna happen.

"Just tell me now, and maybe I will be lenient to your punishment." Ares whispered to her ear, that sends shivers down her spine.

She's still reluctant but when Ares pulled out his gun and pointed it to her temple, all her hesitation diminished.

"I'm not p-pregnant. I am so s-sorry A-Ares, I just do that—— because I love you so much." She cried with tears but Ares couldn't feel anything but hatred.

He's being fooled by her.

Not only that—- he made crazy decisions that caused pain to her baby sister.

Because of her, his brothers hated him.

And before Samantha could say more, Ares slam her body against the wall while his hand was on her neck—- choking her.

"You—- what kind of pathetic human being are you, huh? You just like my birthed mother; abusive, evil manipulative bitch!And let me tell you this, even you bear me a child, I would never ever love you because your attitude sucks!" Ares said through gritted teeth.

Samantha tried to be free from him as her face was started to turn blue but Ares couldn't care less, that if Hades didn't stop him, she might be dead by now.

And because bitchyness runs through her blood, Samantha couldn't stop herself to retaliate from his humilation.

"AND WHO YOU GONNA LOVE, HUH? THAT PATHETIC, STUPID AND UNWANTED GIRL—DELILAH? What did you see on her? SHE'S NOTHING ARES SHE'S NOTHING!" And her face swiftly snap to the other side because Ares just slap her backhandedly and everyone, even Hades was stunned for a moment because Ares never do that to any woman.

"Say another words against Delilah and I'm gonna rip your tongue and let my chef cook it and shove it to your mouth." He retorted while holding her face vigorously.

'Yes, she's probably the ONE. I really like her. I'm attracted to her and if she will forgive me for being a jerk and give me another chance, then I'm gonna be the happiest man in the world.' — he told to himself.

"YOU ARE NOTHING TO ME SAMANTHA— you were just for fuck and now we're done!" Ares added before shoving Samantha towards Hades and asked him to throw her outside their house.

He's fuming.

But he couldn't kill her...

Even he wanted to, because of the two faces that keeps popping up to his mind.

His baby sister Artemis and Delilah.

He can't let them see him like a monster, again.

He promised that he will to try to change, to be good and this was one of it—- to not kill for as long as he can avoid it.

But if she's thinking that she can go without any scratch, well she thought wrong.

So wrong.

Because if he couldn't end her life, he might do something by ruining her parents business.

"But boss the deal was almost done, it will only cause us problem." His assistant replied, but Ares couldn't careless.

"I don't care Harry! Just inform them that the deal was off—- and if they seek for a reason, inform them to ask their precious daughter of what she did to me." After that, Ares close the line and grin like cheshire cat, because he knew that when it comes to business and money, her parents will never show any leniency even to their daughter.

So after he's done dealing with Samantha, he went to their basement where Jack was being kept.

He was chained at the wall, like his father, except that he was chained at the pole.

And when he imagined his bloody figure that caused by Jack, he didn't waste any minute to let him taste the same pain.

The same suffering that his father went through.

Jack was wailing in pain everytime Ares do his torturous way that he used to do when he's punishing a man like him.

Those who betrayed him.

Those who hurts his family.

"And if you think that I will kill you now, well you're definitely mistaken because I am just getting started." He said with devilish smile and continue his torture to Jack, until someone cleared his throat behind him.

"You have to stop Ares, you have to share him with the others." Derek said who has smirk on his face . He just came few minutes ago.

Derek plans to visit his father in the hospital—- Zues because he is a Godfather to him and still couldn't believe that he's back and alive.

Their fathers are best of friends.

"Okay." Ares replied and called his guard to treat his wounds and unchained him from the wall as he needs to stay alive to be tortured again.

After wiping the blood from his hands, Ares asked Derek to walk with him. And even he's sleepy and exhausted due to lack of sleep, he couldn't throw Derek because he owes him a lot.

"Have you eaten already?" Ares asked.

"I think I lost my appetite from what I saw a while ago." Derek replied before they both chuckles.

Soon, the two of them went straight to the kitchen and enjoy their breakfast.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Zues woke up because he feels like someone was staring at him.

And he's correct because the first thing that caught his eyes was his beautiful daughter who stared at him with so much love and affection.

"Buongiorno papà." Luna greeted. Zues on the other hand couldn't contain his happiness and give her a morning kiss on her forehead.

(Good morning Daddy.)

"Buongiorno mia bella figlia." He replied.

(Good morning my beautiful daughter.)

"Come stai papà? Vuoi qualcosa, come l'acqua?" Luna asked her father with puppy eyes that melts all his pain.

(How are you Daddy? Do you want something, like water?)

"Oh! Non ho bisogno di niente tesoro perché quando vedrò la tua faccia andrà tutto bene." Zues replied.

(Oh! I don't need anything sweetheart because when I see your face everything is gonna be fine.)

Unbeknownst to them, Diony, Apollo and Eros were watching the two with so much adoration on their eyes. They were not moving nor opening their mouth because the view in front of them was so good to ruin.

But it wasn't for long, because the next few minutes, a bloodcurdling scream was heard at the other room—- the room where Delilah was staying.

"DJ" Eros said in worried tone before he rushed out towards her room, while the other two boys followed, leaving the father and the daughter in shock, because they have no idea that she's there.

"Why Lilah is on the other room, Luna?" Zues asked.

"I have no idea Daddy, but we can wait for Bubbas, and ask them." She replied.

But Zues senses that something was wrong. And he hopes that Delilah was okay, as she's like a daughter to him.

On Delilah's room, the three boys get closer to her and check what's happening.

"She's having a nightmare." Diony stated, while his eyes that filled with so much worries turned to his brothers.

Delilah keeps mumbling incoherent words while kicking and gripping on sheets.

"P-Please d-dont h-hurt m-me M-Master, P-Please it h-hurts so m-much." She murmurs, while the scene broke the boys.

"How could someone hurt her."Apollo commented.

"P-promise I w-won't do it a-again, P-please s-stop." Delilah said again.

"Hey sweetheart wake up, it's Diony."

But it doesn't stop her from kicking and screaming. They hold her arms and legs but she's not waking up, until Luna came in.

She asked Rosy to lift her and get her close to Delilah.

"Jade wake up. It's Luna—- Zuzu wants to see you. Zuzu miss you so much so please wake up. It's just a dream Jade." Luna said in soft tone while her hands are caressing her cheeks with so much gentleness.

Soon Delilah's eyes fluttered open and look straight at Luna who already has smile on her face.

"Luna? What happened?" She asked and Luna said that she had a bad dream but instead to say more, the little girl wrapped her tiny arms at her to calm her down as Delilah didn't hesitate to sob and hugged her back.

"Sssshhhh, it's okay Jade, I am here. We are here for you. No one's gonna hurt you, I promise." Luna whispered that helps Delilah to calm down.

The boys on the other hand were look so dumbfounded and speechless. Like how on earth a 5 year old can do that?

"My mom used to had nightmares too, and I've learned that you have to say the name that is so important or love by them to help them wake up. And I know that Daddy meant so much to her because he won't be here, with us —- without her love for him." Luna explained that made Delilah look up and ask for Zues.

"Can I see Zuzu?" Delilah asked softly.

"Ofcourse, but let me help you with that." Diony said while starting to help her from the IV tube that still injected on her arms.

She's still weak but able to walk and because she wanted to see Zues, a little pain don't matter to her.
