Chapter 5

7 months later

It has been seven months before that night Hades came into the Ysares. Seven months that Hades forced himself not to go into their house. He was waiting for the right time and the right moment and he has no power to control time and moments and he's presence will alter things above his plans. And now is the right time, it's the right time and the right moment to celebrate, for now, Elena died today and at this time.

"Adios Elena," Hades looked at the night sky full of stars and sipped his wine. He closed his eyes and found her. His heart clenched in agony as he sees Lissana crying in her arms and her shoulders going up and down. She was devastated and mourning at the same time. Hades cannot help himself but look for his coat and keys. He will go to the Ysares. After that night, Hades immediately fixes everything for the Ysares, he pays all of the debts of Elena that cause him millions of millions but he doesn't care at all. He then raises again their company and employs employees. It is now rich in industry and fresh in entrepreneurs and business persons. Little did Elena know that all of the papers are addressed under the name of her daughter, Lissana Ysabelle.

"What are you doing here! Get out of my sight you little bitch!" Elena shouted at Lissana and threw her a cup of coffee but it missed her.

"Mama, why are you drunk again? Are you not happy that we are starting all over again?" Lissana cries while clenching her fist.

"You idiot! Get ouuuut!" Elena screams and Faustina comes rushing by.

"Lissana let's go your mother is out of control please let's get out of here," Faustina says in concern while rubbing her back but she keeps on crying in front of her mother.

"What are youuuuu waiting for! Get ouuuut!"

Elena even changed a lot since Hades came. Yes, their company, debts and their house are all now paid, nothing to worry but it didn't come into Lissana that it all gets even worse. Elena wastes a lot of money, spends a fortune of bills everywhere but Hades didn't mind at all. Hades let Elena do what she wanted to do. Until this day came.

"Auntie, auntie what's that? Where is that loud bang came from?" Lissana's voice was trembling in fear, her lips are also pale. She has this feeling that she doesn't want to cross in her mind. It can't be.

"Go to your room, my child. It was nothing. Go, go," Faustina pushed her out of the dining room but Lissana saw different persons going crowded in her mother's room. She was not feeling good, she knew something was happening in that room. She heard rumors and shock reactions. She saw cops and blinking lights outside of their house. If she is not mistaken it's an ambulance.

"Lissana! Lissana come back here!" Faustina shouted but Lissana already getting herself in the crowd until she was in the room of her mother.

The shocking horrible scene is what she had witnessed. Her mother was covered in blood in her white sheets. Blood was spurted out in the white painted wall above the headboard of her mother's bed. Elena got suicide. She shot her mouth with a gun. Elena's eyes were wide and open while blood we're spluttering out of her head. Her legs we're kneeled, bending at her back and her body and her hands we're on a slump.

"Mama! Mama! Oh, God!" Lissana screamed and cried she doesn't care about the whispers and gossips around her. Even though her mother treated her like a rat she is still her mother and nothing can change that.

"Madame Ysares you are forbidden in this area for we are still in search," a policeman said, kneeling in her. They were also sad in his eyes.

"I'm sorry Madame for your loss. My deep condolences," he said and Faustina came rushing by.

"Lissana come with me. Let them take care of your mother," Faustina said and help Lissana to stand.

"It's okay, this will pass." "You're leaving me."

"No, I'm not, I'm not leaving you especially now that your mother has gone."

"Why does everyone I love leave me? It becomes their habit."

"Everything happens for a reason Lissana. Wait for me here, I'll go get you some water and warm bread. I know you don't have an appetite to eat rice but you have to eat even just bread and water for you to have energy okay? Wait for me here. It's nice here outside. Don't come in because they are too many people inside. I don't want to get you along with them. Wait for me here Lissana okay? Is that clear my child?" Faustina stated in concern and sadness in her eyes. Faustina loved Lissana even the day that she was born. She witnessed all of her situations and Faustina do not want to leave by her side.

"Okay auntie I'll be waiting," Lissana answered and with that Faustina turned her heels and went inside of the house.

Lissana turns to look at the sky, it was full of blinking stars. She was at the same mesmerized that she forget a little what was happening. She didn't notice that her eyes are swelling up with tears. She was now all alone. Alone was the word she doesn't want to hear and experience. She has already lost a father and now she lost her mother. Who else is going to keep her?

She looks at her ring, she thought it sparkles but maybe it was just her tears that caused her eyes to see such a thing. She touches her ring with her thumb and sobs.

"With this ring, please don't let me go alone. I don't want to be alone. Please save me. Please come for me," Lissana whispers in her ring and it seems her ring shines a little more.

"Lissana, my dear Señor Hades is here," Faustina was walking and running in my direction while there is still an apron in her.

"Señor Hades? What is he doing here?" Lissana asked madly, for seven months that he didn't appear and now he is here. But she doesn't have a right to complain because after all, he does them a favor.

"Yes, and he wants to talk to you. He's in the kitchen waiting."

"Did he come to see mama?"

"No, he doesn't want to make a scene."

"A scene? My mama is not a scene," she gritted her teeth. She cannot take it any longer that it might burst words in her mouth.

"Hush now before someone can hear you, walls have ears too. Señor Hades is right if he will interact inside people will start making stories and you don't want that right? Don't worry his assistant Michael takes care of everything inside," Faustina assured her and held her hands.

"Come now he's waiting," she said and Lissana can't find an excuse to say no. It was dim and only the moonlight can light the whole dark kitchen. And there she sees Hades staring at her. His eyes were fixed on her. Lissana look at her side and Faustina was not on her side anymore, she looks for her.

"Your auntie already left, sit," A husky voice suddenly turns her head on him.

"Sit and eat."

"My mama just died. How can you eat?"

"She will be buried."

"What!"

"Sit and eat," a growled echoed the whole room which made her stiff and scared.

"Are you scared of me?" Hades asked in a low tone of voice but still, there was a mark of masculine and cold voice.

"N-no" "You sound like you are."

"No, I'm not Senior Hades."

"Now eat."

"I don't have an appetite to eat. I'm sorry."

"Are you thinking about yourself? That you will be alone? Don't worry about that Lissana because I'm here to worry about you. From now on you will be under my wings. Now eat."
