“What are we doing here? Aren’t we supposed to be in the midlands?” she asked when she realized that Cerberus had bought her to the dining. “This is not the midlands.”“I know the underworld’s geography better than you and I know this isn’t the midlands but you don’t need to go there.”She gave Cerberus a confusing look. “How am I supposed to get Zeus’ attention here? Are you even helping me?”“You don’t need to get his attention, Guinevere,” he said as he was pouring himself some wine on a chalice. She didn’t even notice when he got the wine but since she learned about magic, she stopped asking questions about it.“What do you mean I don’t need to get his attention? That is the whole point of this! I need to get his attention so I could talk to him.”“You don’t need to try getting his attention because you already got it.”Now, she’s even more confused. Reading the expression on her face, Cerberus took a sip of his wine and faced her fully.“Zeus knows who you are. He came all the wa
She couldn’t speak. Her eyes wandered quickly, making sure that she wasn’t in the underworld anymore.When she realized that she was nowhere in the underworld, she gasped and looked at Zeus. Still not believing that Zeus actually took the bait and took her to the heavens just like she planned, she did not move. She remained standing where she was and looked at Zeus suspiciously. Although she was feeling more fear than suspicion.Zeus looked at her. There was a knowing look on his face that makes her think that this might be a trap. But then Cerberus had helped her. If this was a trap, certainly Cerberus knows about it.“Why?” she asked Zeus before she could even stop herself. The man tilted his head to the side and grinned.“Don’t you want to come here?”Her heart thundered inside her chest. How did he know? Did Cerberus somehow tell him? But why would Cerberus do that? The last time she checked, Cerberus loathed Zeus. However, as she thinks more about it, she realized that maybe Zeus
"Turn around," he said which made her flinch. He had such a commanding voice that she couldn't help but follow what he was saying.How did she end up being here? Her life seemed normal before. It all changed one night—the moment she turned eighteen. Sometimes she would wonder if it made a difference if she was not in her house when it all happened. Sometimes she would wonder if he would find her wherever she is.She turned around and felt the weight of his stare on her back. She swallowed a lump in her throat as she closed her eyes, trying to keep herself together. The hair on her body rose as she heard him move, followed by his footsteps drawing closer to her.It had been what she had to do for several nights. To stan
The warm sunlight was what greeted her the moment she woke up. The sky was bright and the house was quiet. For a moment, it was magical.She closed her eyes for a bit, savoring the moment of peace and quiet. Her aunt has probably left the house early which means she will have the house for herself. She grinned at the idea. Today is her birthday and she figured she deserve some decent breakfast.Getting up from the bed, she fixed herself. After making the bed, she skipped down the stairs and found the kitchen empty. She grinned to herself. Her aunt has probably left early and gone somewhere. It was a good thing as she doesn't want to deal with her nagging early in the morning on her birthday.She opened the fridge and found that save for the spoilt box
She was blushing profusely at her reflection in the mirror. She had been trying different outfits and asking Maddie for advice on what she would wear. Knowing Maddie and her belief that she should be get laid tonight, her friend chose the most revealing dress among the few she owned.The plunging neckline of the dress showed the sides of her breasts and her exposed back made her shiver because of the cold."You're going to be undressed later, anyway," said Maddie making her blush even more. She dropped the call and calmed herself down. What's more embarrassing is the fact that she wore the lingerie Maddie was talking about. She kept reminding herself that nothing will happen tonight and she cursed the fact that she was anticipating something to happen.What's
Her head felt like exploding. When she opened her eyes, she did not see the familiar ceiling she used to see inside her bedroom. Where am I? It took her a while to realize she wasn't in her bedroom and took her to get up to remember everything that had happened before she lost her consciousness. There was a man in front of her house. Someone she doesn't know--- Panic rose inside her as she looked around. She could remember her aunt and then her aunt's boyfriend who harassed her. Then someone came and her aunt's boyfriend was dead. Someone killed him and she couldn't remember anything else aside from that. She couldn't even remember the stranger's face. She was quick to run to the corner of a huge room when the door opened. Seeing the lamp, she picked it up and held it in front of her. Remembering what the man did to her aunt's boyfriend, she knew a piece of lamp would be a futile weapon against him for whatever he is. But it was bette
Her whole body was trembling and it was hard to stop it. Whoever the man is, he is dangerous. His dark eyes promised eternal misery and suffering. As though one mistake could cost her her life. How is she going to get out of this place? How is she going to run away from this dangerous man in front of her? The man's fingers were still holding her chin, his eyes penetrating her soul. She thought she could die from just being near him but she was surprised when the man squeezed her chin gently before he let out a smile. A smile. It did not go well with his ruthless eyes. The smile did not mean comfort. It scared her even more. "Please," she muttered. "Please let me out of here." The man leaned back before he stood and walked towards the dais and finally sat back on his throne. "I'm afraid I can't do that, Guinevere." She swallowed the lump in her throat. He knows her name. She has a lot of questions about where she is, why she was there, why did the man know her aunt, and what d
She paced back and forth inside her chamber which undeniably looked more like a prison. Even as several hours had passed by, it still wasn't enough to process what she had heard. A devil. An actual devil. And she is in the underworld. How could she process all that? And as if it wasn't bad enough, Hades told her she was there to serve him. She's a payment for what her parents had prayed for. She couldn't fathom how unfair it was for her when she wasn't the one who asked to be born in the first place. A prayer that was not supposed to happen. She was not supposed to be born. She should not have been born. Yet her parents had asked the devil to grant them a child and the payment would be for her to be the devil's slave. She sank to the floor. She doesn't have any idea how she's going to accept all of that. She doesn't know if she will ever accept it all. A knock in her door pulled her back from her reverie. She stood and scuttled to the furthest corner of her room. The door opened
