Hades
"Maxim.."
"Hades..we've located the one holding your wife in captive" Maxim informed.
His jaw clenched. He had been waiting for his wife. The girl he fell in love with. The girl who was betrothed to him. The girl who made him who he is today. The girl who had been taken away from him. His Riya.
"Who has my Riya?" Hades asked in his devilish tone. No wonder he was named after the Greek God of death, Hades. He had a huskier voice than that of the men and he was as dangerous as the devil.
He was an oil field owner but in secret life, he was a killer amongst things. At the early age of 12, he had been betrothed to the 2 year old Riya because of his father's relationship to Riya's father. His father was also a gang leader who helped Vladmir on one of his missions in the past and as a token of his gratitude, he betrothed his only daughter Riya to Hades.
Hades knew he loved her from the very moment their eyes locked. He could remember that she was one fat baby and her parents used to call her Mama Bear or Mama Panda. She was very cute.
He was happy that he had gotten the opportunity to fall in love. Even at that age of 12, he had been through a lot. He had sat down and watched his mother get killed by betrayers of his father's gang, but he couldn't help her because he was very innocent and weak at the time and his father was also absent at that time. It left him emotional unstable.
That was the beginning of his wrath of terror. Then the climax of all this was when his betrothed was kidnapped. He felt like killing. That was when he begun asking his father to coach him. And in due time, he became a heartless killer.
He feared nothing and no one. He was a sinner. A crazed man in the guise of an oil field owner. He was a very rich man with a very serious temper. He easily lost it and would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. And all he wanted was his Riya back.
"All we suspect for now is that she's in the captive of a man that goes by the name Dwayne Armani Wade. But we're not very sure of his location. All we know is that, he is based in New York City. But he keeps on changing his place of abode so it's going to be hard to nab him. I suggest you come over now" Maxim suggested.
"That bastard is going to regret messing with my Riya" Hades growled before hanging up. His eyes were red with fury. His normal eye colour which was amber which made him look like an eagle had turned a very dark shade that it looked almost red.
His nose flared at the thought of his bride with some bastard. He smirked evilly and it meant death. He was going to kill. And he was going to kill everyone related to the bastard.
Hades who was in his personal gymnasium rose up from the chair gym and walked to his room with a sinister thought in his mind. As he paced towards his room his eyes flashed back into the normal eye colour. And he knew it meant he was not so angry anymore.
The aesthetics of his room was all black. His room was very dark and the only thing that one could see were the white sheets and the white painted parts of the wall which was minimal.
"Who dared to take my wife from me?" He asked in a very calm scary tone.He smirked at himself and chuckled.
"Maxim" he called through the phone once again.
Maxim picked the phone up immediately after seeing the caller.
"Hades"
"Send me everything you know about this, Dwayne Armani Wade" Hades asked in a calm tone and it was undoubtedly very scary and choking. He was the only person who Maxim would never come against. He was after all stronger than Maxim and Jaxon all together.
And if not because of old age, you could literally compare Hades to Vladmir. Maxim was Hades' very close friend so he wasn't really bothered about coming against him.
"Won't you becoming over Brother in law?" Maxim asked.
"I will. Just need to start tracing this man" Hades explained.
"Okay. I'll send you the details in a few hours" Maxim assured. Hades nodded before hunging up.
He spoke nothing again just walked to the bathroom and took a long bath. He closed his eyes and the first thing he saw were those eyes. That its baby face. That baby who had been taken away for him. His baby who would have been 20 this year. He had been counting her years since she was kidnapped. He was at least happy to know that she was alive.
After he came out all dressed in ripped jeans with a black hoodie. He walked out of the room with a cigarette on between his lips to the storeroom downstairs.
He smiled when he entered the storeroom. The first thing he saw was his favourite sword. It was a sword that Vladmir has gifted to him when he was 15. The sword was one of Vladimir's favourite and he bestowed it onto his prospective son in law. That alone made him love the sword more and more.
"Riya my baby. Cry no more. Hades is coming to get you back. And you'll never know grief again" he whispered to the sword as he visualised Dwayne's blood on it.
Charlemagne's sword the Joyeuse. It was one of the most powerful swords made by the French.And Vladimir had personally ordered it theft. It was made by the French King Charlemagne.
"Lucas. Get the jet plane ready. I'm going to the States" he roared into his phone at Lucas his cousin and best friend.
Lucas was fairly older than Hades. He was an orphan. His parents abandoned him at a very early age and the last of them was when their corpse were brought to him when he was 18. He didn't show any sign of remorse after he was told that they were killed. In fact he was very delighted. He had hated his parents all his life.
Instead he loved his uncle and aunt, that's Hades' parents. They were the ones who took care of him. So to pay them back, he decided to play the role as Hades' older brother.
"Hello to you too my dear brother whom I love so much. And might I know why you're off to the States?" Lucas asked casually. He was one of the few persons after his father and mother who could tolerate and handle his anger issues.
Hades calmed down suddenly and sighed.
"It's Riya. She's been traced to some i***t's captive"
Lucas dropped a cold sweat. He knew this was going to be brutal for the captor. He could almost feel himself pity the culprit.
"You should let dad know too. After all, you know how worried he's been since she was kidnapped?" Lucas encouraged.
"Yes. So you can tell him for me Lucas?" Hades asked. Lucas answered positively. His father, Jack had always been talking about Riya since he got kidnapped. He realised that keeping his father in the dark was going to be harsh.
"I'll tell dad. But we're both going with you bruh. And there ain't nothing that's gonna stop us." Lucas informed in a cocky tone. Hades smirked at that and answered positive.
"I'll be waiting for y'all at the the station" Hades informed before hunging up. He sighed in relief. Everyone was finally involved in this quest to find that bastard. He knew he'd get his Riya back.
But he hoped she hadn't been broken beyond repair. And even.of she was broken, he would still try to fix her. He just hoped she was okay and she was going go be happy when he finds her.
Hades drove out of the house to the cemetery with his sword at the back seat of the car. Then he came to his mother's grave. Seeing her name on the Epitaph, drove all his ghouls and anger away. Even after her death, she still did magic to make him happy always.
'Here lies Sarah Claire. A mother and a wife. Death has done us a great sin. But we all belong to the Lord. Till we meet again' this inscription on the epitaph read.
He still remembered how much he cried that day. That day she was finally lowered into the ground. How his mother used to advise him to be strong. To never let his guard down. To be happy always.
'Great men cry sometimes. But don't make tears your habit' his mother's words echoed through his psyche. A tear left his eye at that.
"Mom? How are you? I really miss you mom. I know it's been 7 years already but I can't forget you mom. I wish you were here mom. Sorry for not bringing you flowers. I totally forgot but I promise to bring you a whole lot the next time I'll be coming. So we've found Riya. And I'm going to get her back for us. I promise. I know you'll be happy to meet her. I'll personally bring her over for you to see her. She will be glad to see you. I know. I have to go to the States now. But I promise you. I'll be back soon and I'll make you proud. I love you" he whispered before kissing her grave.
He could feel the breeze that blew against him and he knew his mother had heard. He smiled as he walked away. He hopped in his car and sped off to the jet station.
After two hours, he got to the station and Lucas and his father were already there waiting. His father had aged slightly. His hair had begun going grey slightly. But that athletic youthful look remained untouched.
"Hades!" His father called as he gave his son a man hug. His sin gave him a small smile and gave Lucas manly hug too. Ucas narrowed his eyes at Hades in suspicion and Hades knew Lucas knew he had been to the cemetery.
"Father. How's your health?" Hades asked his father. His father smiled and answered in positive.
"I'm good Hades. But I know you've been to the cemetery"
Hades looked surprised but his facial expression subsided. His father had always been someone who could read him like a book. So he wasn't so shocked.
"I just wanted to tell her before we left" Hades informed before picking up the sword from his car. His father patted him at the back before they both walked away into the jet.
In the jet, Hades informed every single piece of information about Dwayne that they had found. And some blur pictures of some girl which they believe to be Riya.
He sighed. When was he going to find her soon enough? And what would he tell her once he met her? She couldn't remember him if she met him. And it would be a miracle if she did. Or had a hint about it.
He picked up a blunt of weed and slipped it into a paper and rolled it into a stick form and sealed one of the ends before lighting the end and slipped other end into his lips and smoked his heart out.
His father was smoking on tobacco a few metres away from him and his cousin was smoking on Hashish. Soon the whole jet was smoke filled. It wasn't the right thing to do. But they didn't care. Once the urge was there, they needed to satisfy that urge.
After 6 hours, the jet plane landed in the States. There was a whole convoy of Rolls Royce vehicles waiting for them. They hopped into one each as they were all driven to California.
They arrived after 2 hours and were ushered into the mansion by the butler. Hades still had the blunt in his lips and the weird strapped to his back. It was about the 3rd blunt today alone.
They were met at the patio by Amira. She just walked out of the kitchen. She run to them and gave all of them a tight hug. She looked very smallish before them.
"Hades! Jack! Lucas! You're here!" She screamed happily drawing the attention of the men upstairs. They all chuckled in delight and gave her a reciprocal hug.
"Hello to you too little princess" Hades called as he gave her cheek a small pinch. She was very much older than him but they all treated her like a young girl prolly because she looked like one.
And they all called her a little princess because of her 5'3 height. She smiled at that and pinched his cheek back too before pulling all of them to the kitchen to make them try her meals.
After giving them enough to fill their bellies for years, she topped up with a huge jug of apple juice. Soon they could eat no more. They all felt heavy. After a while, they begun talking about their reason for coming.
Amira sat beside her son Jaxon. Even at that old age, he still behaved like that mommy's little boy he always was. He wrapped his arm around his mother and hugged her close.
"From the information I've got, this man in the picture is as psychopathic as we all are. But we can take him down" Maxim spoke.
"Yes let's just track him down and kill him" Jaxon suggested.
"No! We are going to wait!" Vladimir spoke.
"B-But father..." Jaxon stopped in his tracks when his father's black eyes snapped to him with such alacrity that it scared him. Jaxon scooted towards his mother in fear of his father's wrath.
Amira gave Vladmir a look and his anger subsided. He gave Jaxon a reassuring smile.Before looking away, trying hard not to be angry with his son or anyone.
"We wait. We don't want to put Riya's life at risk" Jack spoke for the first time.
Lucas was too busy picking up fruits from the basket to even hear what was going on. He has eaten all the grapes and 3 of the apples already.
"Listen to the elder ones. They know better" Hades spoke finally before getting up and stomping out of the dining hall to the garden outside.
"Riya"
