Hades\u00a0<\/p>\n
Flashback\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t waste time on useless talk. I wasn\u2019t the kind of man who traded words when a fist said the same thing faster. Most of the time, I didn\u2019t even need to get that far, once people found out who I was, their whole posture shifted. The arrogant turned submissive. Usually, I stayed calm, because most people were irrelevant. I never let them get a rise out of me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But tonight I had to control every fibre of my being to stop myself from destroying everything around me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My jaw tightened, my gaze dark, as I stood with my arms folded, watching her on the bed. She was pale, her breathing slow. The old doctor moved carefully around her, syringes and vials neatly arranged on the table. He injected something into her arm, and she winced. Then, without a word, he turned away and began packing his things into a small box.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t tell me you\u2019re done treating her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stopped and bowed his head. \u201cYes, Mr. Hades. I believe I\u2019m done treating your guest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I glanced at Violet. She was still twitching in her sleep. That look in her face didn\u2019t sit well with me. I turned back to the doctor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re not done,\u201d I said, my voice low. \u201cDo what you can to reduce her pain. If she\u2019s still suffering, I will make sure your whole family knows what pain really is, so treat her properly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor\u2019s head dipped lower. His hands tightened around the box. He cleared his throat and said, \u201cI apologise, Mr. Hades, but this is all I can do. The young miss will soon fall asleep once the medicine kicks in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I frowned. If this man had been anyone else, I would have called him incompetent, kicked him out of the house, and ruined his career. But this man was the Sinclair family doctor, he was one of the best in the country. He was experienced enough to make me trust his words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou may leave.\u201d I waved my hand, I didn\u2019t have the time to deal with anyone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The doctor started toward the door but paused. He turned back, bowing his head deeper this time. \u201cI know I\u2019m risking my life by saying this, but judging from what happens to the people close to you, it might be best to stay away from the woman. You ruin everything you touch, Mr. Hades.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He bowed once more and left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The door clicked shut behind the doctor, and I turned my attention back to her. Her breathing was better, her face no longer so drawn, and a touch of color was returning to her skin. For the first time since I\u2019d brought her here, she slept soundly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was a light knock at the door. \u201cCome in,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alec stepped in. I didn\u2019t waste time. \u201cHave you found out what happened?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He nodded. \u201cYes. I did. Levi is in your study waiting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I gave her one last look before murmuring, \u201cLet\u2019s go.\u201d Without waiting for a reply, I strode forward, Alec\u2019s footsteps steady behind me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the study, I pushed the door open. Levi stood in the middle of the room, frozen, like a small animal cornered with no way out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cM-Mr\u2026 Hades-\u201d He stammered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chapter 91\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before he could finish. I grabbed the front of his shirt and hauled him across the room I slammed him down on my d The impact rang out across the room. I snatched a pen and held the tip level with his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His pupils blew wide with fear. He opened his mouth to speak, but the look in my gaze stopped him cold.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked down at him. \u201cDo you doubt that I can end your life right here without blinking?\u00a0<\/p>\n
He shook his head so fast his whole body trembled. \u201cNo! No, sir.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf that\u2019s so.\u201d I growled, \u201cthen explain why you let her be in danger in the first place. Why didn\u2019t you do anything? Why didn\u2019t you inform me? I put you on her to protect her at all costs, even at the cost of your life. You failed. That means your life in worthless to me. And you don\u2019t deserve to breathe if you\u2019re worthless.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I held the pen poised over his eyes, about to drive it in. I wasn\u2019t a kind person. I didn\u2019t grant mercy to those who didn\u2019t deserve it. Human emotions were useless. Unlike most, I didn\u2019t think twice before getting rid of something\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy wife gave birth, sir!\u201d he yelled, gasping for breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I paused, the pen arrested midair. For a moment I didn\u2019t move, staring down at him with complete indifference\u00a0<\/p>\n
He babbled on, voice cracking. \u201cI-I\u2019m sorry, sir. I only wanted to be there for a few minutes. I shouldn\u2019t have le\u00e1l ez do better. I have a child now, I don\u2019t want her to grow up without a father.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t say a word at first. After a while, I dropped the pen, and threw him across the room. He hit the far wall with a shad and slid down. I knew he cracked a bone or two. I don\u2019t normally use that much strength on people especially my men but I was furious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I ran a hand through my hair. So much for human emotions. If it had been before, I would have stabbed his eyes for what he\u2019d done, maybe not killed him, but I would have given him something he\u2019d never forget. I guess I\u2019m getting soft\u00a0<\/p>\n
That woman was changing me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I turned away from him and looked at Alec as if the man on the floor didn\u2019t matter. \u201cGive me every piece of information you have. Don\u2019t leave anything out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe-\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, first tell me who injured her.\u201d The memory of the wound on her head flashed in my mind. I knew that mark. Someone had laid a hand on her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll make them pay, I might take my time on others, but I will not forgive whoever touched my woman\u00a0<\/p>\n
