Love Me, My CEO
The Hidden Secret

Since Rue's arrival, Lea asks Aiden to tighten her guard to the Siren. And he also asked Aiden to be vigilant. Because neither Lea nor Matt knew Hades' form as a human being.

"Is he the kind of guy I met at the bakery?" ask the sirens suddenly.

Lea and Matt looked at each other. "What do you mean?" askthem.

"When Aiden went to the restroom, he asked me to choose bread. And there was a pale man approaching and greeting me," Sirens told.

"What does his face look like? Do you remember his face?" ask Lea.

But this time, it was Aiden who answered him, "From behind, the man was small but quite tall. He wears a black hood. Her skin was pale, like there was no color,"

"Both eyes are pointed. I don't feel that he's Hades. I thought at the time, he was a normal human being. I was happy when a human greeted me" said Siren innocently.

"Other times be careful. We don't know Hades was a man or a woman? Her magic ability is above ours. Only Anthem can beat him or Lea in a pixie form" Matt said.

*Pixie is a blue-colored magic makhkuk and can fly, its shape resembles a bat but its body size is small.

Aiden breathed a desperate sigh. He already knew all the risks when he received the Siren in his house. It would definitely bring more magical things as well as supernatural beings into his body. "Pixies? Gosh darn. Don't tell me after this there'll be kappas, or even house ghosts,"

"We have kappa in our kingdom but we don't have a house ghost" Lea responded.

At that time they were still in the place of Anthem and Alesya. Because indeed their show will continue until midnight, only because Rue gave shocking news, they changed their fun event.

"Let's just say, for a while if Aiden has to work then I will accompany the Siren, ...."

Alesya's speech was interrupted as Anthem shut his mouth. "Where can it be like that, right? Hades is the King of the Dark Realm. With what can you fight him if he comes to you? Don't say it!"

"I mean I can accompany him, Honey," Alesya continued to defend herself while embracing the shoulder of the Siren.

"Me only. Anthem, you already have no magic power at all, right? So I assume you're also one to be protected, Anthem" Lea suggested.

Lea had an assumption at the moment that could protect the Sirens were her and Matt. Matt has incredible shooting and sword-playing skills, so Matt is his only hope.

"At least Hades listened to me as his brother" Anthem said.

Lea looked at his hand, ready to debate Anthem. "Have you?"

With a sad look, Anthem shook his head slowly. Hades never listened to his words in the least. She failed to become a sister to Hades.

"Well, what can I do to help?" anthem finally asked.

They kept quiet and didn't know what to say. For now everyone is focusing on Sirens and Aiden. Because they are the ones who will be the target of Hades.

"I don't think this momentary time exists. It's not that I underestimated you, but that we were afraid that anything would happen to you" Matt said.

All fell silent and dissolved in their thoughts.

That afternoon, Aiden was resting at a coffee shop with Matt. Matt sticks around wherever Aiden goes like a flea.

They discussed something related to their work. The two men occasionally checked their phones.

"Did you give me a cell phone?" ask Matt.

Aiden shakes. "He doesn't want to. He said he didn't know how to operate it" Aiden replied.

"Get him a cell phone and teach him how to wear it so that if something happens he will be easy to contact someone" Matt suggested.

Aiden nodded his head. "Well, this afternoon I'm gonna buy him a cell phone,"

Aiden hurried to the place where his car was parked.

Suddenly a man came to him. "Hello" said the man. His voice sounded cold and deep.

"Well, how can I help you?" ask Aiden to the man. Suddenly he forgets Matt and Rue's message to be careful of strangers, be it men or women.

The man smiled. "Follow me,"

Like there was magic working on Aiden, he obediently walked up to the man.

They walk and sit in the tavern that Matt and Aiden have just left.

"I'm Hades. I'm sure you're Aiden Sebastian. Right, right?" ask the man who confessed to Hades.

Aiden nodded expressionlessly. "What do you want from me, Hades?" ask Aiden.

Hades clenched his fingers and stared fixedly at Aiden's eyes. "You have all the Siren pearls" said Hades.

"No. I don't have it" Aiden argued as he fumbled into the shirt pocket and his silk trousers.

"Yes, you have it, Aiden. The siren saved you 2 times and 2 times he gave you his pearl. All you need to know is that each mermaid has 2, only 2 black pearls. And if the pearl were to disappear from his body or change hands, then the mermaid would die" Hades said in a whisper.

Her voice that was already deep now sounded like an incense.

"So you think I have both Siren black pearls? Can you show it to me?" ask Aiden. He still did not believe Hades' words. The siren never gave the pearl to him except the pearl from his tears. That's a lot of Aiden's storage.

Hades asked Aiden to stand up. With his hand he scanned Aiden's body and suddenly there was something shining on Aiden's chest. That brilliant light was a turquoise blue. The light is so bright.

Aiden surprised. "A-, is that her pearl?" ask Aiden.

"Yes, two black pearls belong to the Siren. Of course this brings benefits to you" said Hades.

Aiden's two eyebrows intertwined. "Fortune?"

"You will live forever, Aiden. One grain alone has made you half immortal, let alone 2 pearls? Have you been sick lately?" ask Hades.

Aiden's forehead is wrinkled. He remembers his past. Indeed, from his first meeting with the Siren, he never got sick or just dizzy.

"Haha. But this is tragic for the mermaid" Hades said.

Aiden looked back at the pale hooded man. "What will happen to the Siren?"

"He became foam and disappeared. Didn't you see any change in him?" Hades asked again.

Yes, the scales and hair that continue to fall and fall. His eyes were reddened and sometimes even the sirens fell limp. All this time he had survived because of the potion from his fellow mermaid.

Hades immediately read Aiden's mind. "You just realized? Plus the mermaid's habitat is in the water instead of on land,"

"What can I do?" ask Aiden quickly.

"Give the pearl back, I'll help you get it out. Tell me you're ready. I'm not gonna force you, but I know,"

Hades now got out of his chair and walked to the back of Aiden and whispered to him. "You love the siren and want to see him alive, right?"

Aiden turned his head towards Hades, but the Dark Lord had already disappeared without a trace.
