MONSTERS IN DARK

-HADES-

"Are you sure letting her go is a good idea?"

I gulped down my glass of champagne, looking up at Sofia.

" If she does what we tell her to, then it's fair to let her go." I shrug, leaning back on my seat.

" But what if she tells everyone about what we made her do?" Sofia mumbles, looking at me with wide eyes.

" She won't. By the time I'll be done with her, she won't even have the courage to speak to her own self properly." I smirk.

Leo looks up at me with a frown on his face before he goes back to eating his pizza.

" What's wrong with you?" I chuckle, yanking a piece of pizza from his plate.

" Nothing." He shrugs.

" Sage must be hungry too." He mumbles, raising an eyebrow at me.

Sage. That little dramatic, lying bitch.

" Let her starve. We'll get the results faster." I mumble, taking a bite.

" Why don't we just kill her after she takes the charges off, Sean?" Giana mumbles, placing her head on my shoulder.

" We don't have to kill her. She made a little mistake and she's repenting it." Leo glares at her.

I stare at Leo's angry expressions intently. I will kill that bitch if I find out that she's been seducing my brother.

" Chill, dude. I'm just saying." Giana rolls her eyes annoyingly.

" Little mistake? Our brother is in prison, Leo and you call it little mistake." Sofia screams.

" Fine. You guys are the best and I'm the idiot one. Bye." Leo screams, standing up.

He picks up his drink and box of pizza. I groan in annoyance as he snatches the pizza out of my hand too, walking out of the room.

" Why is he so annoyed?" Sofia looks at me.

" I'll tell you when I get to know of it." I mumble, pouring myself another drink.

" Its two am, I'll go to bed too." Sofia yawns, standing up.

Giana smiles, leaning more into me.

" Baby." She whispers.

" Yes, love." I mumble, kissing her forehead.

" When can we get engaged?" She smiles.

" Engaged? Where are you getting these wild thoughts from?"

" Sage makes me insecure, Hades. She became your wife in a few weeks and we've been together since years." She whines.

" Giana, we've talked about this before and I won't be repeating myself." I growl when tears fill her eyes.

" Then what am I, Hades? I'm not your wife, I'm not your fiance, you don't even accept me as your girlfriend. What am I? A whore you can fuck and dispose?" She screams, throwing my laptop on the wall.

I sigh, placing my glass on the table before looking up at the dumb bitch in front of me.

" Giana, go to bed, love. That's enough for today." I mutter.

" No, Hades. I want answers." She screams.

Okay. She wants answers. I'll give her the answer.

I grip her hair, slamming her head on the wall before pulling her towards her. She screamed in pain, trying to escape my grasp when I gave her a punch on her face.

" You don't question me, got it? I'm your master, I rule you. Forgot the day when you fucked me to pay your father's bills? I own you Giana fucking Roberto. You don't ask me questions, you shut your filthy mouth and be my doll." I whisper, throwing her on the floor.

She sobs loudly, curling herself into a ball on the floor when I walk out of the room. She fucking spoilt my entire night.

I walk out of my office, slamming the door behind me. The house was quiet and dark at this hour as I tried to be quiet as possible.

I halted in my tracks when there was a little crash. My eyes immediately followed the sound which was towards the kitchen.

Pulling out my gun, I tiptoed towards the kitchen, slowing pushing the French doors open.

There was my wife sitting on the floor with a broken cookie jar. She had tears in her eyes as she looked down at the broken jar.

" Owww." She winces, pulling herself from the floor.

" Sage." I growl.

She gasps, stumbling back at my voice.

" Hi." She whispers, meekly.

" What are you doing?" I growl, looking around the kitchen.

" Food." She whispers, rubbing her tummy.

" You want food?" I ask as she nods hurriedly.

" You know what? Bitches like you deserve to starve." I growl, gripping her hand.

" Please. Please. Food." She sobs as I begin pulling her out of the kitchen.

" No." I groan, picking her up in my arms when she begins screaming.

" Food please, Hades." She screams, hitting her fists on my face.

UGH.

" Fine." I drop her on the floor.

" I'll count to ten, get whatever you can." I roll my eyes, leaning against the wall.

" One." She scrambles up from the floor, yanking out the drawers and cabinets.

" Two." She pulls out a big bag of Doritos chips.

" Three." Hugging the bag, she begins rummaging through the other cabinets.

" Six." Without noticing me or my words, Sage rummaged through the refrigerator, pulling out a bottle of orange juice.

" Eight." She pulls out a bunch of grapes and two apples, hugging them too.

" Nine." She trips on the stood near the broken jar of cookies, falling on the floor.

" Ten."

She pouts looking at the items on the floor and then up at me. Sage crawls on the floor hurriedly, picking up her items before standing up.

" Let's go." I growl, gesturing towards the door.

Her eyes roam over the kitchen one more time before she quietly walks out of the room with me behind her.

I close the door, taking off my blazer and tie. Sage sits on the bed, looking at the food.

I grip her hair , pulling her out of the bed causing her to cry. Pushing her on the floor, I sit on the bed, throwing the bag of chips and bottle of juice on her.

" Sluts look better on the floor," I smile at her maliciously before plucking out a grape, placing it in my mouth.

" Grapes?" She questions, looking at the fruits in front of me.

" These are for me." I say, picking up an apple.

Though I had no interest in these fruits, I didn't want Sage to feel like a guest here. Some basic rights have to be snatched from her to get my work done.

" But. . . but I got them." she had tears again in her eyes as she looked at the fruits sadly.

" Fine, you can have them." I smile at her, taking a bite from the apple.

Spitting out the piece of apple in my mouth, I throw it on the floor in front of her. Sage looks at me bewildered.

" Have it." I smirk at her crying face.

" It's okay." she whispers, opening the bag of chips.

I throw away the fruits in the trash can before, pouring myself a glass of whiskey. I sit back on my bed, putting on a horror movie to watch. Sage was on the floor, eating her chips quietly. I muffled my chuckles when she hid her face whenever something scary appeared on the screen.

She's such an actor, trying to be cute so I grow fond for her. Bloody bitch.

She folds the empty bag of chips neatly, placing it on the floor beside her before taking the last sip of the orange juice. Sage pulls her knees up to her chest and hides her face, sobbing softly.

" What the fuck is wrong with you now?" I roll my eyes at her drama.

" I'm still hungry." she sobs.

" What the fuck? What are you? A fucking baby elephant?" I scream at her. She looks up at me with tears pooled in her eyes.

" Weren't you the one who said I was perfect and didn't need to lose weight?" she whispers, her voice felt so empty- I felt a punch in my chest at her tone.

I was planning on torturing her physically but my words were breaking her. Was she that attached to me that my words matter so much? Of course, she married me. We don't marry any random guy we meet on the streets.

" Thank me for my fabulous acting." I wink at her.

" The only right that I had after all this was a full stomach every night, please don't snatch that from me too." she sobs, looking at the trash can.

I sigh, kneeling down beside her. She flinches back when I raise my arm. Ouch!

" You want food?" I whisper.

" Yes." she sobs.

" Fine, I'll get you whatever you want to eat. Chicken, pizza, fries, whatever you want." I say as a smile breaks on her face.

" Really?" she mumbles, wiping away her tears.

Cute.

Focus Hades.

" Yeah, but you'll have to do my work." I murmur as the smile falls from her face.

" It's okay, I'm not that hungry." she mumbles, turning away from me.

Bitch!

" Listen Sage, I don't want to torture you too but you've called this on yourself. Just drop the charges off my brother and you'll be free." I say, she looks up at me with angry eyes.

" I never wanted more from life, Hades. I just wanted a little house filled with love and that was my only desire. But I guess love is no where in my fate." she whispers, rubbing her eyes with her fists.

" But if love isn't in my fate then I won't let injustice be there too. I would not allow injustice in my life anymore. Your rapist brother deserves to rot in that prison till his last breathe. Do whatever fuck you can." she growls, looking straight into my eyes.

" You fucking whore." I scream, striking her across her face.

" You've got a really smart tongue there, haven't you?" I growl, gripping her jaw.

Gripping her hair, I drag Sage into the bathroom, pushing her face in the bathtub full of water. She thrashes against my hold, trying to break free.

" This is what smart words get." I growl, pulling her out.

She chokes and coughs, trying to break free when I slam her head on the edge of the tub. Sage screams in pain, blood oozing into the water as I let her go. Locking the door behind me, I switch off the bathroom light. I could hear Sage screaming and begging me to open the door.

She'll learn a good lesson tonight.

" Beware of the monsters and ghosts in there, baby." I scream, when she screams again hearing my words.

Such a child.

" Please. Please." she screams, banging on the door.

I get into my warm bed, pulling the covers over me.

" Go away. Go away. Leave me alone." Sage screams on top of her lungs.

What is she doing?

" Don't touch me, please. Please, let me go." she wails, hitting the door.

She is the only one inside. Who the fuck is she talking to?

I roll my eyes, putting on my ear buds, now I won't have to hear her bullshit. Sage can deal with the darkness, it's just a few hours. I'm sure she'll learn to control her tongue next time.
