BRUTAL MINDS (A DARK ROMANCE)

CHAPTER 6- HIS INNER DEVIL

             Hades could be seen coming out from the bathroom. He was wiping his face after successfully washing off the blood stains from it. It was just him in the gigantic Mansion with his guards and a few male servants, indicating He didn't want female personalities around him. The room was dimly lit, with the entire Mansion having a theme of black and gold interiors. Hades took a seat behind his desk, flipping a certain file in front of him.

"Unto The Next Debtor...."

He muttered, crossing out the name "Felix Edgar" before moving his sharp eyes from one name to the other. "Edward Doreen"
"Humphh..." He scoffed. He could remember the day, this Man rushed in on his knees.

"Please Mr Lenshaw, I've been told you're the only one who can help me."
"What Am I? A Philanthropist?" Hades frowned.
"Please my world is crumbling, if you could only spare me a few...."
"I Can't Help You Old Man, Now Get Out!"
"I'm willing to do anything. Anything at all. Please Mr Lenshaw."
"Anything?" He quirked an eyebrow.
"Yes yes, absolutely anything."
"You Don't Wanna Strike A Deal With Me Doreen. I Have Zero Tolerance For Late Replies."
"I promise I'll pay back my dues at the exact time."
"And If You Fail To?"
"Then...then you can have my properties as collateral."
He scoffed in mockery. "I Don't Need Your Wealth. I Have More Than Enough As You Can See. Your Properties Won't Make Me Any More Or Less Wealthier. Blood Is What I Require."
"What?"
"Well, If You're Backing Away I Can Understan..."
"No no no, in that case, you can have my most prized possession."
"Who?"
"My Daughter." He said with a heavy heart.
Hades pulled out a paper underneath his desk.
"What is that?"
"You Didn't Think We Weren't Gonna Sign An Agreement Did You? Now For The Last Time, Are You Sure You Want To Do This."
"Yes yes, please. Let's get on with it. Thank you very much."

              Years later and now He wasn't willing to pay back? The foolish old scum! People were all the same. Eager to revel but hesitant to pay back and there's him who couldn't afford such permissiveness with his debtors.

           The next thing was to bring him here and deal with him just like his predecessors. Oh how much fun that was going to be! But first, who amongst his daughters could be his most prized possession? The one that would hurt him much more than death. He had to figure that out.

"Arman?" He called out to one of his guards.
"Yes Boss?"
"Edward Doreen Has How Many Children Again?"
"Four sir, four girls."
"Hmm, Very Fertile Indeed." Hades was planning on striking Edward where it would hurt him most.
"And Who's The First Daughter?"
"Ruth Doreen."
That Would Make Her The Heiress To The Doreen Legacy And No Doubt, His Most Prized Possession. He thought.
"I Want Her."
"Right away Boss...but...if I may..."
"What Is It? Speak!"
"Ruth Doreen however, is not the one in charge of the family's company."
"What?! Then Who?"
"A certain young woman. It has been rumored that she's actually an illegitimate child."
"Name?"
"Allison, Allison Doreen. However, there's not much about her on the internet, she appears to be very...low-key."
Lowkey Or Just Deliberately Hiding? Hades thought, suspiciously.

               The Man Must Think He Was Smart. Hiding Away His Most Prized Possession, and no doubt, his Favorite Daughter From Him. Too bad, his cover had been blown. Hades smirked to himself.

"Well, In That Case, Bring This...Allison To Me."

DOREEN MANSION
2:20 pm

               Allison arrived that afternoon to see how her sick father was faring only to be met with chaos, ambulance blaring and medical personnel rushing her rather unconscious father in a stretcher.

What's going on? What happened to him? She hurriedly inquired in a fit of panic.
He took something...poison perhaps...we're not certain. It was Ruth speaking.
Poison?! And none of you kept watch!
What were expecting us to do? Who would suspect Dad would try to kill himself? Ivy butted in.
This...this is so careless of the four of you. To think none of you thought it through to thoroughly check his room. She said, half yelling.
Allison Allison, always looking for the perfect opportunity to be a goody-goody. You're trying to say we don't care about father. This time it was Pearl speaking.
What is the matter with you Allison? How dare you yell at us? If you so much cared then why didn't you stay back yourself? Lina shot back at her sister.
Why would she? She's always trying to appease Father by being a workaholic. You should be the most ashamed here Allison, you choose to put work before your own father! Ruth added.
Wh...what?! Argh God! I can't sit here for this...Allison said, hurriedly getting into her car and driving after the ambulance.
