Chapter 6: Endless Panic
Carette was left alone in his villa in Demos.
In Demos's absence, the lavish house, made with extravagant décor, seemed a little empty, so quiet that even a hair could be heard on the printed carpet in the center of the living room.
Kareta didn't want to go out alone.
Outside the door, the streets and alleys are full of memories of her and another man. There seemed to be his body heat, his breath, in the air there.
She was afraid that as soon as she stepped out of the villa, her body would be surrounded by his familiar heat and breath.
Human beings often say that the quickest and most effective way to get rid of the pain of falling out of love and to forget a man is to accept the love of another man immediately.
But can we really forget? Can we really get out of such a gloomy misery?
When Demos was by her side, his deep warmth followed her at all times, and he was inseparable from her.
He filled her body domineeringly with hot love, and poured her heart with constant care and touching, so that she had no time to care about anything else, whether in her eyes or in her head, there was only him.
Now that he's not with her, she's still distracted.
Picking up her phone, Carreta clicked on the photo album inside, and looked at the familiar male faces inside.
The pain in my heart is getting heavier and heavier. Memories are the source of pain, because the empty memory will make the heart feel extremely dull and painful.
Kareta simply bit her silver teeth, deleting the images one by one as she looked at them.
She doesn't want those memories that she can't go back to! It's time to pass—
The finger suddenly froze, and it trembled at this point, and it never managed to press the "delete" touch button displayed on the screen as it had just done.
The image is a close-up of José's face, squinting at one eye with a sun-bright smile and grimacing like a camera.
He's the man who is simple and kind, but he's hurt by Karete!
This is the last photo of Jose on her phone, and the last memory of him!
Unable to hold back her heart, Carette knew that she would not be able to bear this last memory no matter what.
Where has he gone now, is he still stuck somewhere in Greece, or has he returned to his home country alone with the heartbreak of a broken love?
Carette was even more desperate to know the answers to these questions, because they were the only ones she could convey that she still cared about, and that was that he was safe and sound!
Do you really not love Jose, do you really just love Hector for him?
Kareta was even more confused.
If this is the case, if she doesn't love it, why does she want to keep those little memories at this moment, and she is secretly sad because of them?
Kareta threw down her phone, changed into her swimsuit and swam a few laps in the open-air pool on the second floor, then Liao Liao came out of the pool, wrapped in a blanket and sat sideways on a wicker chair.
Looking at the street scene of the community outside the courtyard, I saw the magnificent courtyards and pavilions standing in an orderly manner in the embrace of a tree filled with oil and green flowers, and the sunset was dyed with gold, quietly and lazily passing the time that the day was about to pass.
"Karete ......"
The thought wave went straight to the brain, it was the voice of Zeus.
“......”
And she didn't move, her body still maintained her original posture, her eyes looked at a scene in the distance, and her eyes didn't even change in the slightest.
After the sound of the thought wave, a look of restraint that she should not have had in her cardamom years gathered on her beautiful face.
And now in this situation, it is not surprising that Zeus did not call her a "great god" or "father".
He knew that from the moment he threatened her with Bai Xiu's life that day, he was permanently disqualified from being a "great god" or "father" by her high and stubborn heart.
The only emotion she had for him the rest of the day...... It can only be resentment! Like her biological mother, Thetis, there is only endless resentment against him!
"Are you okay these days, Karete?"
After waiting for a while, Zeus couldn't receive a response from her thought wave, and sent another one himself.
"I wonder what kind of answer you'd like to hear?"
Carette finally replied, and the voice that was delivered directly to Zeus through the thought wave fell into his head like a hard, cold stone, and immediately blasted his brain into a sharp and loud sound.
"Kareta, please don't speak to your father with this attitude......"
Zeus had some grumbling thoughts, and was about to sigh, but was swayed back by the voice of Carreta following him.
"Sorry, father, let me see you as the supreme leader of the Titans. Only then will I feel that everything I am doing now is out of the duty of a subordinate, so I will feel more at ease. ”
"Oh! alright......"
Zeus complained again, as if choked on his breath, and after a second of slowdown, he finally sighed in a dismal voice.
"I'm just here to greet you. You've managed to sneak to Demos's side, these days...... Thank you for your hard work. ”
Her eyes flickered slightly, and Kareta didn't reply anything, just waiting for Zeus's next voice.
"Where did he go?"
After less than two sentences, Zeus really couldn't bear it, and a wave of thought came straight to the point. And the "he" he mentions in his mouth naturally refers to Demos.
"Back to the Dark Temple. I'm not in the dimension for a long time, so I'll go back and see what's going on over there. ”
"Why didn't he take you with him, he wouldn't be suspicious of you, would he?"
"I don't know...... I've done everything I need to do, what I can do......"
After sending out the thought wave, Kareta frowned tiredly, and it was difficult to hide the boredom in her heart at this moment.
"Anyway, go to the Dark Temple with him as soon as possible. And ......"
Zeus hesitated here before continuing to speak:
"With him, have you done the necessary measures?"
"Measures?...... What measures ......"
The question was enough to surprise Karetta, and in her surprise she finally became serious.
"Although human beings are a sinful race, the high technology they have developed to this day can help us avoid some troublesome problems in our daily lives. ”
"You...... It's ......"
At Zeus's subtle prompting, Caret was finally awakened.
While her face was blushing, she suddenly had an extremely ominous premonition in her heart.
Zeus's thought wave then rang out, but at that moment it turned into a cold wind and froze her and everything around her in an instant.
"Remember, you can't conceive his child!
Zeus...... After returning the gems,...... You'll put ...... Demos and I...... What to do?"
Karete's voice was staccato and fearful.
"You are my daughter, you will always belong only to Olympus!"
Zeus sent this last cold sentence, the answer, but not the whole answer, and then he did not make a sound.
He withdrew from the realm of Mind that Carete had trembled, leaving her with nothing but never-ending fear......
——
Over the weekend, Demos and Carette went to the cinema in Piazza Syntagma to watch a movie, and then they went shopping at the Attica mall.
Noah, a close attendant, accompanies them and acts as a chauffeur. While they watched the movie, the faithful child dutifully stayed in the car and didn't go anywhere.
He then followed his master into the shopping mall, and followed them diligently, graciously taking the bags of various sizes and carrying them in his hands without complaint.
After lunch together at the famous Stamna barbecue, it was still early and Carette was eager to visit the civilian market on the south side of the square. Demos asked Noah to go back to the car first, and he accompanied her down the road.
He enjoyed walking the streets with Carette holding hands. Although he had such and such women around him before, none of them could really come into his life, which made him want to share his love with her as seriously as a couple.
The reason for this is not that they are just ordinary human beings, but more that he does not see in them an innate power, a power that can grasp his heart the moment they meet each other, and make it jump and uneasy!
Only Karete!
Demos believes that she is the wonder girl who can pull him in the heart at all times.
He now agrees with the long-dead Yusia, maybe from the moment he meets Carette again in the human world, he wants to start a relationship in earnest!
In love?
When the term popped out of his mind, Demos's heart trembled inexplicably.
He is the god of darkness, is he qualified to have a glamorous love?
Many faces in the dimensional temple appeared in front of him, and the indefinite winged light on their faces seemed to catch Demos's two eyeballs in an instant, making his eyes appear slightly dazed and sad even though he was in reality.
"Demos!"
A call as clear as Ling woke up Demos, who was concentrating.
Carreta spotted a new plant shop and asked him to come in.
The space is not large, and the space of 20 square meters is filled with a strong Mediterranean atmosphere.
The crisp white freshly painted brick walls, sky-blue roofs, doors and windows, wooden striped business signs hanging on the walls, natural conch ornaments and twine handmade drifting bottles all show the simple beauty of life to every guest who enters the door.
Prosperous to the extreme, to the dull. True beauty does not have to be forged in every possible way, let alone washed away, but only exists in the seemingly ordinary bits and pieces of daily life.
Carette circled the shop with flowers and plants, stopping past a tank of tropical ornamental fish.
"Do you like it?"
Demos leaned over and grabbed her by the waist, and asked, seeing that she could see her mind.
"Hmm. She nodded, her sparkling gaze following the lively swimming fish.
"Buy it!" he replied, cheerfully.
The owners are a couple born in the 90s, who are warm and sincere, and the asking price is extremely fair. After Demos paid for the whole tank of fish, they gave a lot of seashells and bottom sand for landscaping.
