Early update!

Asher's P.O.V

It's been three weeks, since I last saw her.

I didn't know this would affect me as much as it has. I can't stop thinking about her.

"Why are they so quiet? It's been three bloody weeks and they haven't made one move!" Blake esclaims from behind my desk, infront of me.

"It's very unsettling and confusing too. Hades has waited for this moment for a decade and more probably, you'd think he'll strike faster," Shawn inputs.

"I know," I reply. "But we'll take advantage of the silence and get even more prepared. Have you heard from Clara lately?"

"Yes," Blake replies. "She says she suspects Rhea is part of Us."

I roll my eyes, "well obviously," I say. I have been suspecting she is with them, ever since Bianca confessed about meeting her. "We need some action. The waiting is slowly driving me crazy."

"Be patient Asher. Hades knows what he's doing, he wants you to feel this way. You have to be calm so you can make rational decisions," Shawn advised and we all nodded in agreement.

"I need to have a talk with Rhea," I say. "I really don't care if I have to force her to talk to me, I need some answers," I say and rest my elbows on the desk.

I have a few questions for Rhea; I need to know why and how she hid the fact she was alive all this time or maybe why she's probably betraying her sister. Most importantly, I need to know what Hades has planned.

"We should have a banquet, invite her through Bianca's name and also a few other gangs. It will be somewhat of a distraction. From there, we can borrow her," Blake suggests.

"Good plan, I'm sure Hades will attempt something, hopefully he will not find it too suspicious and hold back," I point out. "Though, it has to be done subtle, we'll make it seem like we're having the banquet to verify an alliance with some other gangs because of the war," I say.

"Not bad, will the girls be there?" Shawn asks, referring to Bianca and Jasmine.

"Yes, they will," I say, "the banquet can't be without them or Hades will know something is wrong so they'll be there, they will be closely watched and guarded," I reply. "But Bianca mustn't know what we're planning to do with Rhea, she won't like it."

"And what about Melody, what if she shows up?" Blake asks, the sound of her name alone puts an unsettling feeling in my stomach. I clench my teeth.

Shawn also knows Melody is my sister and he has for a long time. Not many people know she exists and I like to keep it that way.

"I'll kill her," I reply without a second thought. "She's deserved this fate for a long time."

I felt my phone vibrate on the wooden desk, I checked the caller ID and read Jasmine's name flashing on the screen.

I hold back a groan but decide to answer the call. "What do you want? I'm busy," I ask her in the most annoyed monotonous voice I can muster.

"Shut up Asher!" She snaps and my brows raise slightly.

"Escuse me?"

"Do you know this? I bet your obnoxious ass doesn't; you are the biggest idiot in the world," she snapps and I frown.

"Did you call me just to insult me because I really have important things to do-"

"It's about Bianca," she cuts off and I pause, right before I shift in my seat.
