Page 50 of Hades’ Revenge

“You make it all sound so perfect. Like a dream that I’ve always wanted to come true.”

“I’ll make your dreams come true.” He held me close to him. “All you have to do is take a chance with me.”

Sebastian had given me plenty to think about while I showered and got dressed. I was prepared to go to Greece with him for the duration of the summer but then I thought I would return and finish school.

What if I went with him and pursued my dreams in fashion? I’d be doing what I loved and spending time getting to know him. There were so many parts of him that I didn’t understand. But the one thing I was certain of was he did want to take care of me. When I was with him, I was safe, happy, and excited for the future.

There was a knock on the suite door. I hoped it was breakfast because I was famished. I didn’t eat dinner last night and having that much sex worked up an appetite. After I ate, maybe I could persuade Sebastian to take this little sundress off me before I went home. I had a feeling he wasn’t going to put up much of a fight. I might not make it home at all.

“Is breakfast here?” I asked as I emerged from the bathroom. “I’m starving and⁠—”

“Capri,” my father said.

“What are you doing here?” I glanced at Sebastian who stood by the suite door. Atticus and Zeus were in the doorway. “You shouldn’t have come here.”

“Get your things,” he said. “You’re going home.”

“She’s not going anywhere with you.” Sebastian came to stand next to me. “Don’t escalate this.”

“I didn’t say she was going with me,” my dad said. “Your mother is waiting in the lobby for you. She’s worried and wants to see for herself that you’re fine.”

“What are you going to do?” I asked. “Start another fight with Sebastian?”

“Hades and I have a few things to discuss.” He glared at Sebastian. “Don’t we?”

“Zeus.” Sebastian motioned for his guard. “I need you to escort Capri to the lobby so she can meet with her mother.”

“No,” I said. “I don’t want to leave you.”

“He can handle himself,” my dad said. “I’m not going to ask you again to go to your mother.”

“I need to speak with your father.” Sebastian took my hand and led me to the doorway. “This has to be done.”

“I can wait in the bedroom.” I squeezed his hand. “Please.”

“Listen to me,” Sebastian said. “Remember when I told you at the club that when I asked you to do something it’s because I’m protecting you? This is one of those times.”

I shook my head, trying to hold back the tears that pooled in my eyes.

“Don’t cry.” He ran his finger underneath my eye. “The sooner I get this done, the sooner we can move forward.”

“Capri!” my father snapped. “Your mother is waiting.”

Sebastian nodded.

“You’ll call me?” I asked as I grabbed my bag from the foyer table.

“I will.”

When he kissed my cheek, my father muttered a few choice words. I wasn’t sure if they were meant for me or Sebastian.

“Try to listen to one another,” I said to them both. “It’s been a long time for this grudge. Resolve it for me.” I didn’t think my words would get through to them, but at least I tried.

Zeus accompanied me to the lobby but didn’t say much. He was a muscular man with a strong jawline and pretty eyes. His silver hair was cut close on the sides and longer on the top. He looked to be in his early forties. No wedding ring.

“Have you known Sebastian long?” I asked when we got into the elevator. “I guess you call him Hades.”

“I do.”
