Bride Of Hades Chapter 51
Advertisement
Dimitri was itching to make love to his wife again, but since he came home late, and they didn't finish dinner until after midnight he had decided to let her get her sleep, so she won't be too tired for work the next day. They had a lot to do, it would be Enzo's first day at his new pre-school, so they were excited.
Enzo was going to a pre-school when he was with Aurora, but for some reason, she was a jumble of nerves this morning. It was like she was sending him to school for the first time again.
She was running around preparing his bag and lunch box even though Dimitri kept on telling her to let the nanny do it. She wanted to make sure that he would not forget anything and come home in the middle of the day because he had a meltdown, not that he ever did, which she was thankful for, but this was a new school. Who knows what new challenges he would encounter here.
All the family had gathered downstairs to send him off and wish him well. They would all miss him, the last few days, he had entertained them endlessly throughout the day, and once again, the house will be quiet when he goes to school.
Enzo looked very cute in the school-sanctioned uniform of blue shorts and a white button-down shirt. He insisted on bringing his superman bag, where his mom tucked in a few of his toys and all the things he needed for the day.
"Enzo, I have packed everything for you. Listen to your teachers and don't forget to be nice to everybody. Make friends and do not cause any trouble for anyone," Aurora said as she knelt in front of him so she could look him in the eye. He had always been a nice and obedient kid, so Aurora never had any problems with him, except for wandering around the hospital when he met Gabe, he usually listened to his mom.

"Champ, if anyone troubles you, you know what to do, right? Show me what I taught you," Gabriel added from beside Aurora.
"Yeah! Punch, punch!" Enzo beat his fist air, copying his Uncle Gabe. They bonded really well, and Gabriel taught him a few things that might have been too much for a four-year-old to learn, but he told him anyway.
Three pairs of eyes except Aurora gave Gabriel a cold glance.
"Gabe, watch what you teach my son?" Dimitri warned. Gabriel lowered his head but winked at Enzo.
"You know that fighting is bad, right?" His mom looked him square in the eye, and he nodded, "If you encounter any trouble, you should tell your teacher right away," Aurora explained.
"Okay mama," Enzo replied meekly.
"Our little Enzo is a good boy, just enjoy your school, okay," His grandma said, kissing his cheeks.
"Behave, okay," Gabriel patted his head.
When they reached the school. Aurora started to give him the same set of instructions, and Dimitri decided to step in. "Aurora, calm down, we are one of the shareholders of this school. The teachers will take special care of him," Dimitri held her hand and tried to console her.
She relaxed a bit when she heard that they had the school under their care as well. Enzo was a ball of energy as soon as he saw his school and couldn't wait to get down from the car, but his mom and dad had a firm grip on him.
Gone was the shy kid she used to coax into the classrooms to meet his teacher. By having a whole family, he had blossomed and became an energetic little kid eager to meet people.
After she kissed his cheek and hugged him. Enzo planted a kiss on both his parent's cheeks. "Bye mama, bye dada," he said as he walked to the gate towards the teacher waiting for him.

Today was the day Dimitri was meeting with the mafia families to find out who would support him, so he dropped Aurora off, and rushed to his office to prepare for the meeting.
He did not get the desired results he was expecting, he thought he had more people on his side than the Russo family, but the people present that day proved him wrong, he had threatened most of them, and yet they didn't budge. He had to take drastic actions.
While he was contemplating about his plans, his phone rang, it was Aiden inviting him out for a drink with the boys.
"Dimitri, where have you been? You've been missing the past few weeks without telling us where you were. What are you up to, man? Aiden asked. He had actually been gone for the past few months, and Aiden had missed seeing him whenever they went out for drinks.
"I was out on a business trip," Dimitri said, not willing to tell him all the details on the phone.
"Well, we're all meeting at the usual place. Tell me you'll come," Aiden stated.
"I can't, I have a lot of work to do," Dimitri denied his request. He wanted to spend more time with his wife and son.
"You can't say no. I know you're back in the city. You need to support me here. Tristan and Blake are getting too high-handed with the PDA, just because they are married men. They think making out with their wives every time they say something cute is acceptable," he complained, "My eyes are going blind. This place is turning out into a love nest. It's disgusting. But we can take them down, you and me as the last two bachelors, against those two."
Tristan and Blake have been too busy loving their spouses and on the few occasions that they do go out, all they do is fawn at each other and make people around them uncomfortable. Gone are the days they spent clubbing and drinking all the time.
Too bad though, Aiden has no idea that Dimitri was also married. He would definitely get shocked when he finds out that he's the only bachelor left.
"Sure, I'll be there," Dimitri finally agreed. It was time he introduced Aurora and Enzo to his friends, just in case he would need their help in the future, they needed to know. Plus, there were no secrets he could keep from them anyway, even if he wanted to.
Tristan had introduced Ava to his peers as soon as he confirmed his relationship, so he should do the same thing to show respect to his wife.

Beatrice Santello
An adult imagining of Beatrice Santello's life prior to the events of Night in the Woods. There are no explicit depictions of sex here, though there are obviously adult themes and situations involving it. I wasn't going to post it to Royalroad as I didn't think Fanfiction was okay here - but now I see it is and I am quite convinced it is the best work I've ever done yet, I've got to see what any fans of NitW think about it! The first chapter was originally written as a short vignette and wasn't intended to be continued into a full blown story. It was just intended to be moody and evocative. Even though anyone that has played Night in the Woods has a good idea how this must end, I hope it will still be worth the read. Also, since I've finished writing it, I'm going to post it as one big chapter dump all at once. Cover drawing by GreasyMojo and colored by me (with permission!). I don't think it should be too risque on it's own but I suppose I'll soon find out.
