Hades watched Nina while she was thinking. Hades knew that she was thinking deeply because she didn't even notice that he already entered her room and is now sitting in front of her.
What happened next really amused him. Nina closed her eyes then after a few minutes of not opening it, he heard her deep breathing which shows she fell asleep! She fell asleep sitting and leaning on her headboard.
Is he really this unnoticeable? Even his own parents don't seem to notice him when Nina is around. Maybe they are really the real family of three and he was only used as an instrument to bring them together.
Hades just shook his head due to his silly thoughts before making Nina lay properly. He put the hairs away from Nina's face before kissing her forehead but before Hades could stand up, he noticed the white jade pendant hanging on Nina's neck. He feels like there was a force that drags him to touch it, and he did.
The jade pendant feels warm and so comfortable to hold. There are some characters written on it which he can't understand. Hades wanted to study it more but he stopped. He knows that this is important to Nina. He hasn't seen her wearing any jewellery except this one which he saw her wearing everyday. Although she hid the pendant, he can still see the golden lace on her nape when she ties her hair.
Hades just went back to his room to finish the work that he didn't do last night. He started reading the files then he saw the acquisition plan that he used to take the company of the man who drugged him, huh? Why is it still here? Did Tom make a mistake and put it here together with the new files?
"Young master, this is the man who arranged the drugs and the ill woman for you" Hades heard Tom reporting
Hades looked in front of him and saw Tom in front of him. This is not his room in Nina's house! He is now in the highest place in the capital, inside the top floor of the tallest building, his office!
Then he looked around once more and he now just noticed that Tom wasn't talking to him but to a man that looks like him, no, it was him! But why can he see his self like this? What's happening?
"an old trick coming from an old family, how boring" the Hades in front of him said
"just send him to hell directly, look for all his dark spots to incriminate him. You can also use the woman he fucked last night, gotta give him his own medicine"
"Young master, the woman from last night was not related to him" Tom said
"really?" Hades stopped for a while "never mind, just see if you can help her a little. I'll just treat her as a victim of a war bullet who needs compensation" Hades said with no emotion at all.
Tom just nodded before he left.
Hades who was watching the whole scene felt suffocated. He knew that this would be his exact reaction if he didn't spend that night with Nina! So this is how Nina will end if he didn't see her?! He wanted to punch the Hades in front of him for being a bastard then he realized he is this same bastard. A bastard who doesn't care about anyone.
At this moment, all he wanted to do is to see Nina. He wanted to console her. He wanted to tell her that no matter what, he will just be with her.
He closed his eyes to stop himself from feeling that suffocating feeling. When he opened his eyes he was in another different place.
Hades saw a familiar figure kneeling on the ground
"Phillip, I didn't cheat on you, I didn't!" that voice was almost similar to his Nina!
The girl kneeling on the ground lifted her face, surely it was Nina, but Hades can't feel anything about this girl. She is Nina, but not his Nina.
"If you never cheated on me, then why are you pregnant?! Are you taking me for a dumb just because you think you are smarter than me?" the man shouted, so this was Nina's ex boyfriend, in short, the scum.
"No, no, listen to me please" Nina begged, but Hades can't really seem to sympathize with the girl who has the same face as his wife
"It's over Nina, let's end this" the guy said and left Nina kneeling on the ground.
Hades watched Nina longer, maybe that way he can feel the happiness and contentment that he always feels when she is with him.
Hades just watched Nina. He saw her crying almost everyday and at times that she didn't cry she would have a blank expression. This continued until she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix.
The boy was healthy but the girl was weak with a congenital heart disease. Their mother was already weak due to her depression. Even though she didn't hurt her children physically they grew being hurt emotionally due to their mother's lack of care for them.
The little boy inherited his mom's brain and his mind became way more advanced than his age. He knew that the reason why his twin sister was weak was because of his mother's depression during pregnancy and because he is the only man in the family, he needs to grow up fast to protect his sister and mother.
But his sister wasn't able to wait for him. She died a month before their 4th birthday. His mother became more depressed after that a year after he lost his sister, his mother followed.
Until the death of Nina, Hades can't feel anything for her. Is he also a scum that just because Nina was tainted by another man he will not feel anything for her at all? Is he really this unreasonable?
Hades just looked at the boy who was left alone in this world. He watched him grow up to become a fine, cunning, and soulless man.
He saw him stop his biological father's release and even made him become a prison punch bag, then he tried to tear the company of his mother's ex-boyfriend but he failed because the daughter of the man was able to wake up from her stupidity.
He didn't give other people the satisfaction of retaliating against him. He took his sister's ashes with him and went to the first villa he ever bought that was located on a cliff.
He bombed himself and made sure he would be burned to ashes. Hades was not sure what the boy was thinking for doing that action and he was also curious why he didn't take his mother's ashes with him.
The scene changed again, and this time it turned back to him. Hades saw the older version of his self. Maybe due to overwork, his body deteriorated over the years that is why he is now lying in his bed alone. He doesn't want any woman to attend his needs and he still thinks highly of himself to let anyone help him at his weakest so at the middle of the night, when he was sure that no one will come to check him, he took all his numbing medicine and died. He was able to achieve his wish, to die showing no weakness, he died alone.
So this is how he will die. If it was before, he would say that the death was quite satisfactory. Not letting anyone see his weak side,but now he is afraid to die without Nina by his side.
But… Where is his Nina? Is the Nina who died from the previous scene really the Nina he wanted to spend his life with?
