Past eight!" Her subconsciousness yelled at her and she ran into the closing door startling her colleague. A busty round woman came out with a disdainful expression as she stared at Ixora
" Please Mrs Stephanie. The bus driver . He....." Ixora stuttered hesitantly and it made Stephanie brows creased curiously.
" He what.?" Stephanie hissed slowly yet curious , she took a brief glance at Ixora torn dress and dirty looks
" Don't tell me. He mistook you for a beggar and chased you out of the bus ." Pearl the colleague she ran into spat out with a distasteful look on her face as she stared down at Ixora knees, her eyes flattered with a hint of sympathy for a minute .
" You poor thing, how could you leave a wound untreated." Pearl glared at Ixora like it was her fault she got injured .
" Don't you know it will affect your productivity at work today. !" Stephanie snapped infuriated, she ran her fingers into her blonde hair as she grasped her phone to make a call. " Pearl take care of the wound." Stephanie muttered before the call connected " Yes Beca ! I saw your missed call."She chirped loudly as she strutted out eleganty .
" He proposed !" Stephanie loud gasp followed as she shrieked loudly . Ixora ears slowly twitched. Stephanie can make all the noise yet after all consumer hasn't started tropping.
Stephanie is what you can a lukewarm person , she doesn't hate or like. She is very professional and mindful. She is an American woman who found herself in Spain because of marriage but after she divorced her abusive husband she refused to move back to America because she had fallen in love with Spain. Isn't life an irony? . Ixora grimaced painfully , she would do anything to get away from the painful clutches of Aunt Clarice even if it means running away but that's impossible too. Where would she run to ?
" Here ." Pearl shoved the first aid kit to Ixora chest .
" Thank you." Ixora mumbled incoherently staring down at her soiled shoes. Yes , she has inferiority complex which is dealing with her badly.
Pearl shook her head in self pity " Why are you dressed like this on a beautiful Monday." She snapped but Ixora sensed concern behind the cold voice and it made her smile a little.
" Why the hell are you smiling!" Pearl frowned standing akimbo as she stared at Ixora torn blouse .
" Shouldn't you get new dress and for once look like a human being. A NORMAL one!" Pearl emphasized before turning around with a hair flip that brushed on Pearl face . It's the usual with Pearl . She is cocky but bit nice when she wants to be. Don't just get on her bad side .
Unlike Ixora . Pearl is living alone because she graduated last year and she is working whilst looking for a corporate job. Because of her professionalism and her British tone, Madame Stephanie promoted Pearl from a cashier to company supervisor. Well different strokes for different people.
" Get down here Ixora !" Debby another staff snapped coldly.
" Coming! Ixora mumbled incoherently applying first aid on her knees. She writhe painfully as the spirit met with her bruised knees. " Ouch." Ixora swallowed her tears and limped to the kitchen.
" What happened to your leg." Debby wide eye caught her limping , before Ixora could part her lips to talk. Debby shrugged facing the kitchen sink "Yunno never mind." Debby nonchalantly said.
Slowly Ixora exhaled as she began washing the dishes. Yes this is her job , the best she could find after 6 months of serious job hunting.
Clarice furiously told her on her eighteen birthday that she - Ixora is now responsible for her upkeep and will pay as a tenant under her, also pay for the expenses used in taking care of her for the past eight years. If she is done paying which Ixora estimated to two years, she was free to leave forever if she wants to.
Clarice words rang in her ears and if Ixora run off without the payment , she - Clarice would send her to the grave along with her parents . Yes harsh. Ixora softly sigh. She has been working in McDonald's for 13 months which makes it nine more months to go . After that , what does she really want to do. Yes she had dreams when she was a child , she wanted to be a cloth designer. Yes she drew some sketches in her room but that dream was too expensive for her. Ixora would stick to this year as long as she could and get a house in town. After all her salary was quite good and it would have been better if she wasn't paying back Aunt Clarice.
" Ixora !!!" Debby yelled at her rushing towards the sink. Ixora eyes snapped open as she saw the water almost filled up. She gave Debby a grateful look. It would have been a problem if soapy water touches Stephanie German tiles , that was what got the last girl fired .
" Tell me , do you have another job!" Debby yelled at her which made Ixora took in her lips .
Debby eyes softened " I didn't mean to yell at you. Just be more careful around the kitchen. You know Madame Steph doesn't like that." Debby spoke in a hushed tone of caution which made Ixora smiled slowly.
" Here, use it to fix your stomach." Debby handed Ixora a small bread roll which she stared at hesitantly .
" Seriously." Debby scoffed withdrawing her hand " If you continue walking around with that empty stomach you might faint before you start working. But what's my business anyways." Debby spoke in a low hiss whisper and slowly glided to the waste bin before she disposed the bread roll, Ixora hurriedly took it from her grasp .
" You want to throw it." Ixora asked disbelieved while Debby knowingly smirked with her brows arched up.
" What does it looks like ?" She yanked her hand away but Ixora gripped the bread roll snatching it from Debby grasp.
" I will eat it. Thank you." Ixora whispered , her voice was laced with shame as she took the bread roll, slowly stuffing it into her mouth. The bread roll instantly filled her taste bud , Ixora got carried away and she chewed hungrily forgetting her manners .
" Slow down else you might choke." Debby scoffed passing her a glass of water which she drank in a hurry.
Debby stared at Ixora puzzled. Well this girl is just a mystery . She never understood how Ixora spends her money . Yes they collect the same wage rate but her dressing is way out of her league. Isn't this alarming , yes she would tell Madame Stephanie to seek more information about her whereabouts and she would go visit. Ixora might needs help . who knows.
Debby have been trying to ignore this feeling of concern but she learnt that Ixora was an orphan living with her Aunt and she being an orphan got the clue on what's going on. Unlike Ixora her guardian ( Her mother brother.) treats her well, even the wife and children welcomed her like family. Yes she would go visit Ixora home. She would ask Madame Stephanie of Ixora home address and figure what's really was the problem.
Ixora eyes welled up in tears as she choked on the bread roll , Debby swiftly came to her aid helping her with a glass of water to swallow . As she coughed wildly , Debby slowly tapped her back soothingly.
" I told you to slow down." Debby scowled yet Ixora stared at Ixora with her eyes shinning with appreciation.
" Thank you." Ixora muttered softly. Debby rolled her eyes dramatically as she disemgaged from Ixora .
" Table two. Order, come clean it up!" Pearl loud voice echoed in the kitchen . Ixora made a run to the door but Debby beat her to it.
" Finish your food." Debby said with a friendly scowl and Ixora couldn't stop the smile from spreading across her lips.

In the heart of Mexico most vibrant city , a notorious nightclub pulsed with unbridled energy. The air inside was heavy , filled with charred scent of nicotine and tobacco and the sweet tang of exotic substances.
Seductive stripper writhed around a gleaming pole , their body barely covered by scrap of viels. Only their faces were smeared making them to look unrecognizable . The sound scape was a mixture of sultry sighs, loud moans echoing as wild slam could be heard as women were sexed in the open air shamelessly.
" Fuçk!" A loud gasp came from the group of women as men mounted upon them taking turns upon them. It was a mixture of pain and pleasure.
In the shadowy corners , high stakes gamblers indulged in their vices surrounded by women who catered to their every whim , the women were on their knees sucking dicks of their master .
Crazy right ? To you it might be . But that's the norms in the Mafia world. Those women were bought as toy - sex toys and it was their duty to serve their master primal urges anywhere , anytime .
The men , mafia's conversed , their hushed conversation mostly about drugs and assassination, among them are politicians seated while smoking their lungs away. Stash of drugs were placed and heavy ammunition alongside, heavy gaze were on the bags . A woman stepped forwad , she arched her back with a bow and brought out a scale , she gingerly placed the drugs weighing it under the watchful gaze of the men . Trembling nervously , a stack of money fell from her grip , terror gripped her as she crouched over to gather the money , her fingers closed in around a small bag of meth , which she swiftly hid in between her braisser . But her joy was short - lived as she arose sto cold steel facing her . Death was glaring at her in form of a man . The observer smirked with a piece of tobacco dangling in between his lips
"Mastero por favor [ Master , please .]." The woman muttered whimpered with tears rolling down her face , while the men watched with devilish exictment anticipating for his action .
" Finish her off King ."The men bawled out drunkly with their eyes drowsy over the effects of the substances they had just consumed.
" She dare steal from us , ." Another group of drunk politicians chimed in .
The man piercing gaze boring into her , his dark , intense gaze left her in more tears . " Master please ."
"She dared pleads for mercy , how insolent .." Another group of politician sneered .
A sardonic laughter filled the room , it was a deadly chuckle as Hades stared down at the frightened sex doll , she was whimpering and shivering in fear , Hades smirked and brought out his tobacco puffing out the smoke to her face , her eyes turned teary and she lowered her gaze , with tears dropping from her eyes . Hades stared at her blankly , with pair of gray eyes showing empitness , the corner of his lips raised with evident malicious in his eyes " iQue divertido! [How amusing ]traitors shading off their fellow traitors ."
" What are you talking about?." The politicians cackles loudly gulping down the drugged wines down their throats.
One of them stood up alarmed but it was already too late . Hades silent bullet found it's mark on their bodies almost too swiftly and the politicians fell on their faces to the floor dead . It was a snipper bullet but the guards which stood outside were alerted.
" Eso fue mas facil de lo que imaginaba [That was more easier than I imagined]. " Hades sneered his voice dripping with sarcasm , with a swift motion , he snatched the hard drive , a suitcase overflowing with cash and a stash of illicit drugs . He snatched the micro chip from his suit with a dry laughter.
" It's cute that you tried though. " His eyes darkened as he sensed wild stomp on the metal door.
" Mr King's!" A voice yelled . Hades snatched the buds from his ears with a low hiss before inserting it back.
" Habla ( Talk.) " He muttered darkly with his gray eyes on the women whimpering beneath his feet.
" The police are around." The voice announced politely .
That statement brought fervor to his eyes " More fun tonight then. " He disconnected the buds before the caller could speak .
" On your feet ." Hades sat down with his long legs crossed on another elegantly, the woman fearfully arose up with her shoulders shaking with fear palable in her eyes . Hades smirked amused , he ran his tongue slowly across the earings on his lips , malicious exictment sparkles in his eyes as he lips as he listened to her helpless sob . Betrayal is what he despise he most in business but its happens daily in his business making it unavoidable Hades raised his gaze towards her and she recoiled in fear . " I did it for my mother , master please!! She needs money for...."
"Callate [ keep shut ]." Hades muttered and she swallowed her words back in fear .
" If you make it out alive , you can dare spill out a word abou what happened tonight and get visited by the devil who will drag you down to hell . For a fleeting moment his eyes glowered , Hades tilted his head to the back door and she scramed off .
Hades leaned on the chair rest a when he heard a loud bang , the guards are forcing their way in while the police are surrounding the building.
Well , Hades had found out that Abel , his business partner had snitched on him along with the order. They were going to arrest Hades , pin their crims on him , take the money and the drug. How stupid of them! The had no idea of who they were messing with .
Hades yawned bored as the guards whispered among themselves " let's go upstairs and break in through the roof.
" Yes. Go upstairs , silly mortals." Hades whispered hoarsely , he took a glance at his wrist watch. Three minutes left.
Loud screams were heard as the police barged into the clubhouse with bullets flying around. The Mafia men retaliated and it became a bloody mess , strippers scrambled around for their safety running out of the clubhouse as the fight went on.
Hades opened his eyes and stood up with a lazy stretch. He approached the door and stared at the lock which flew open. A pair of hand grabbed his throat.
Hades scoffed unimpressed , he swiftly averted the next attack with his eyes glowering in rage. " How dare you , silly mortal." His eyes glowered with grayish color and fangs slowly seeped out from his lips.
" Fuçk!" The guard eye widened at that incredulity. He peeped on his pants that instant " Please sir , I had no idea you were the one in there....." His words were cut off as Hades claw went deep into his chest and brought out his heart still beating. The man eye widened horrified, he dropped dead that instant.
Hades gave a bloody smirk as he bursted the heart " Bloody mortal and their disrespect." He cussed striding out of the building unseen and as soon as he exited out of the building. Boom the building collapsed burning ablaze.
A dark smirk appeared on his lips as screams of anguish filled his ears as the building was slowly consumed by flames.. The red flames excited him as he stared at the red glow of burning flame. His eyes gleamed darkly with his smirk widening. He loves pain and destruction and this was a beautiful masterpiece to him.
" How mesmerizing." Hades muttered with a sickly smile , gingerly he placed the tobacco in between his lips his majestic stride followed as he drove off with his sleek black Porsche car.
Do mythological creatures exist. Oh hell yeah! but their existence is said to be forgotten along with time, mortal love living in denial and would do anything to get rid of the theory of superstition.
But mythological creatures are everywhere, lurking behind shadows . In form of human , they are roaming around the street. And unmistakable, Hades De lucas King was a one creature, a powerful one unmistaken. But who is Hades or should i say what is Hades ?
