BRUTAL MINDS (A DARK ROMANCE)

CHAPTER 13- A UNION

           Walking outside of the Manor, Hades could see the press clamoring at the closed gates. Lisa could be seen talking to a few guards. "No matter what don't let them in" "They'll only constitute a nuisance here" "We won't be needing media coverage until Wednesday."

What's Going On?
Oh Hades, I'm absolutely sorry. These people are like bees to honey. She sighed.
They're Here Because Of Me?
Exactly. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience, I know you probably wouldn't want to be on the media so soon and I honestly have no darn idea how they got to know you were here.
"Mr Lenshaw is it really you?!"
"Mr Lenshaw, a statement please, just a statement."
"Mr Lenshaw is it true that you're a government clone?"

Government clone? What kind of crap is this? Lisa said, disgusted.
I Feel Offended. Hades said, nonchalantly. His words and expressions had no connection whatsoever.
I'm sorry. She apologized, looking up at him with innocent green eyes.
There's No Need. His eyes swept down for a second. Still Wearing Heels I See.
I'm better now, I swear it my legs feel better now.
Seems You Do Like Your Designers In The Water.
There won't be any need for that. Still leaving?
No Marcos Is Gonna Take Care Of The Chaos.
Yes! Thank you papa. She thought, relieved. I see, that's nice.
Whatelse Does This Manor Have To Offer?I'm Getting Bored.
Oh well a few men are playing hockey at the back yard, you could join them.
Hockey....The Last Time I Played Hockey Was Down In My Basement.
I'm sorry?
Hades smirked, faintly. This Time The Ball Wasn't Plastic, It Was Hot Metal And The Target Was The Inside Of A Person's Mouth, Spread Open Against His Will And I Made Him Swallow It. Damn It Was So Hot, It Burst Open At His Throat.
Wh..what the hell? Lisa subconsciously jerked backwards.
Frightened, Moi-Chèrie?
He just called her my darling in French. Lisa noticed. Bloody hell is there anything that doesn't sound way too good when He says it? Oh wait...down to Earth Lisa.
She was getting carried away from the main discussion. Oh yes, what was He saying about playing hockey in his basement?
I.. I don't know what to say. She stuttered. Is that how you deal with all your oppositions?
There Are A Few Other Methods...He shrugged.
That's cruel...she muttered. But why does it feel like you're saying this to ward me off?
Ward Off Is A Strong Phrase.
Grandpa spilled the tea didn't he? She sighed. How could he?
He Thinks We'd Make A .....Perfect Fit.
Oh this is so embarrassing. Lisa wished the ground would swallow her up at that moment.
And you? She asked. What do you think?
I Think It's Very Absurd How Your Feelings Suddenly Changed.
Absurd. That was a very blunt word to use. She winced within herself.
Sober up Lisa, no one had ever brought your chin low and it wasn't going to start with this Man.
Well...I've always liked your personality. She stood, cross armed, putting on her best expression of indifference. We've know each other for years, not to mention our families have been strong allies coupled with the fact that we're no longer kids, so...she shrugged...I'm game if you are.
She was making it sound as if it was an obligation ofcourse, there was no way she was going to make herself look desperate in front of him.
I Know How OverAmbitious The Old Hound Can Be And If He's Pressuring You Into This Lisa You Can Tell Me.
Pressuring? This Man doesn't have a clue how much she loves him, does he? Well time to use this to her advantage and play the obligatory card.
It doesn't really matter Hades, she said calmly. He's right after-all, a union wouldn't be the worst thing ever.
And What If I Can Never Love You?
His question sent her heart to the pit of her stomach, she stared at him speechlessly.
What If All I Ever Want From You Is An Heir? What If You End Up Spending The Rest Of Your Life Deprived As A Wife And As A Woman? What If You Realize I'm Much Darker At Heart? What Then Lisa?
So many "what ifs" Hades. She smiled, like the graceful and composed lady she was groomed to be. You know the funny thing about "what ifs"? They are just probabilities. You'll never know until you try and besides we'll both be too busy with work to notice things getting out of place. You at the company and me traveling around the world for my shoots. It's a win-win if you ask me.
