Chapter 259

Chapter 259 The Man From Hell

Selena would have to stay in the house for a while. Right now, she couldn’t go back to Astoria with John out for her blood, so it was best to stay away for the time being. The moment they came back, Selena found Juniper a kindergarten, while she herself went through the case.

She kept trying to search for Jameson after he was kidnapped, and after she was lured to the cottage, John captured her. Because of that, she lost a lot of leads, making the investigation difficult.

After Selena combed everything out and arranged them in her PC, she noticed everything was a mess, and she knew it was impossible for her to settle the matter herself. Only one person could help her at that point, but she was reluctant to ask for his help.

Some time later, her alarm rang. Selena looked at the time and realized it was time to pick Juniper up. Thus, she turned off her PC before quickly going to the kindergarten. When she came back with Juniper, Selena noticed the car before her home, and she was shocked. She thought Pierre had come, for he had the same car.

“My godfather is here!” Juniper quipped before trotting into the living room.

That made Selena snap out of it. I’m in Springvale, not Astoria. That’s not Pierre, so it can only be Hades, that man from hell.

Hades was a demon, a ruler of the underworld. Also, he was the man behind Selena’s success. She didn’t manage to build JNS Corporation and become one of the richest people within such a short time only because of her own talent and hard work; Hades played a part too. Back then, Selena sold her soul to the devil just to survive.

She then calmed down and went into the house, where Juniper was already hugging Hades.

Befitting his name, Hades’ eyes were darker than black, with countless secrets hidden beneath. Nobody could ever guess what he was thinking, but there was also a gleam in those eyes. He was wearing an all-black attire as he sat there on the sofa, and the ear stud on his left ear was the only thing glimmering on him.

“I’ve missed you, Godfather. You never came to see me!” Juniper was grumbling cutely in his arms.

Juniper was the only person who could make Hades smile, for he raised her since she was an infant. “I’ve missed you too, Juniper. You’ve grown since I last saw you.”

“I’m already four. Of course I’ve grown. Where’s my present, Godfather?”

“It’s at my place. You can take it when you go there. I forgot to bring it along with me.” He caressed her cheek as he spoke.

Meanwhile, Selena went to the kitchen, keeping her silence.

“Save it. Come with me. Everyone’s waiting for you.” When Selena heard what Hades said, she stopped in her tracks and went with him into his car, then she was taken to the ancient castle outside of the city.

It was an old castle, said to have existed for a hundred years. Most of the villas that were of the same age had become tourist spots, but not this castle.

It always looked ominous and looming from the outside. Since it was said to be haunted, barely anyone would visit the place. Even if they went by it, everyone would hasten away. Nobody ever came near the castle, for it was foreboding. This very castle was Hades’ home.

The moment Selena and Juniper came into the castle’s living room, popping sounds were heard, and confetti flew across the air along with the champagne.

“Welcome back!” Everyone cheered.

At the sight of it, Juniper was ecstatic. Children had always been better at forgetting about their sadness, and they were easier to please than adults.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
