HERALiam hugged me like his life depended on it and his body trembled while crying loudly against my shoulder. He hugged me so tight that I couldn't breathe and I had to smack his head just for him to loosen the hug and he tipped back."Hera!" He cried and pulled me again for another hug. "H-Hera!" "Yes, I know, I'm Hera." I said, chuckling, encircling my arms around his head and pulled him closer. "You okay?" I asked, almost whispered in his ear."Y-yes, I'm r-really sorry that I couldn't save you." "Shh, I'm fine. You don't have to worry." I cooed and leaned back to cup his face. "Are you sure you're..." I stopped talking when I saw in my periphery what's behind Liam and my left eyebrow automatically raised when I saw Nami's black wings that's now slowly hiding in. I know that she's a demon daughter, but I wasn't expecting that she had wings? That surprised me, to be fucking honest.Liam looked over his shoulder while still sobbing and sniffling then he looked back at me. "You al
HERA"Hera..""I d-don't know what I'm g-going to do. I d-dont-.""Shh.. just cry as much as you want, we're here." Ivana said with her soft voice and she helped me to stand on my feet and I immediately turned to her and engulfed her, burying my face on the crook of her neck."It's ok Hera, you can tell us what happened, I'm sure it's not about the girl inside Liam's room." Selene said while rubbing my back."Let's find a place to talk this out, we're not going to let Hera cry in public, she's too precious for everyone's eyes and they might think that her heart got broken by some tall girl with bangs." Ceres said and we all chuckled.The four of us walked to the park nearby and I sat on the wooden bench, Ivana sat next to me while Selene and Ceres decided to settle themselves on the grass and looked up to me, waiting for whatever was I'm going to say.I released a deep and shaky sigh as I tried to calm myself and stared into the big fire ball that reminds me of Liam, my big sunshine a
LIAMThe lines of glares of the sun rays that shot for my eyelids awaked me, my hand instinctively searched for the familiar warm body beside me but when I felt nothing but emptiness, I shot my eyes open and saw no one, I stared at the empty space for a second, blinking away the sleep in my eyes and I slowly sat up without tearing my gaze away from Hera's space."Hera?" I called but no one responded. I lazily dragged my feet out of the bed and walked to the bathroom. "Babe?" I called again and knocked on the door three times but still, no response from her.Suddenly, the nervousness arose inside me, but I still tried to calm myself and just decided to take a quick shower to remove the smell of sex in my body, prepared myself for school and wear simple clothes before I stepped out of the room and went down straight to the kitchen."Morning, have you seen Hera?" I asked cooly, trying to hide the nervousness inside me as I occupied the seat next to Jiroo who seemed so groggy this morning
LIAM"Why would she do that?""I don't know her reasons but Teyeon just texted me about this before I went here.""That's fucking ridiculous." I said and stood up from my seat abruptly but Jiroo and Ayu tugged me down again. "What?!""You don't get to show your abrupt attitude in front of the pregnant woman or you'll stress them out." Ayu scolds and she looks back in the front and bow her head lightly to our professor to apologize on my behalf."If you don't want to believe me, why don't you ask her for yourself?" Mrs. Tiff suggested as she started to hand out the exam papers one by one. "And one more thing, you guys ran out yesterday and Teyeon also told me that the three of you will be gone for this day because of family matters so I'm surprised seeing you here.""We already settled everything last night." Jiroo replied with a warm smile plastered on his lips. "Sorry for not informing Mrs. Teyeon that we will attend the class for today." "It's fine, good thing I have extra copies o
LIAM"They are really gone, Liam.""Who?" I asked stupidly, although I clearly know who are he talking about."Liam, aren't you too stupid for asking that question?" Tom asked with a glint of annoyance on his voice.I laughed mockingly and rose up from the couch. "They were just wandering around, later tonight they will all return." I said with full certainty in my voice then I shifted my gaze to Nami. "Take a rest Nami, Jonas will be–.""He won't.""..back later." I finished even if Nami tried to cut me off. "Please tell Hera when she arrives, that I am just in our room." I said dismissively and was about to walk upstairs but a hand stopped me from doing so and pulled me back down on the couch. "Sean–.""Hera left you! Accept it and stop pretending like she didn't!" Sean snapped, his bloodshot eyes filled with anger and tears threatening to fall down from them. "S-she left you and Ivana left m-me too.""Sean, stop overthinking. They are still here, didn't Daren and Yael look for them?
HERAFlashback…"I'm sorry." My head snapped behind me, looking over my shoulder to have a sight of Demian with my eyebrows creased, confused as to why he's suddenly apologizing after hurting all of us and brought me here in a place that I surely know is not a part of the underworld. He removed his arm on my neck as he leaned back on the wall behind him with his head hanging low, then his shoulders started to shake. I became more confused and turned my body to face him and bent my body to see his face under. "Why are you crying?" I asked confusedly."I'm s-sorry." He repeated and when his head lifted up and our eyes met, I chuckled bitterly, looking away from him and rolled my eyes. "How could you be so damn stupid for doing that to your son?" I scowled at him and I jumped on him like I was gonna smack his head but I stopped when he suddenly crouched down covering his head with his arm. "Stupid!" I hissed instead and turned my heels abruptly."I'm sorry–.""Stop saying sorry! You s
LIAM"Yow! open up the safe, bitches got a lot to say!""Ergh!""Pussy in your face, that'll put you in your place.""Boom!""Seven letters on the plate, fuck you when I break!""Bitch!""Shut the hell up!" Ayu shouted from the top of her lungs. We all whipped our heads up to look at her and stopped everything that we're doing."Open up the safe, bitches got a lot to say." I started singing again, not even tearing my gaze away from Ayu, "Ergh!" Jiroo continues, scrunching his face like an angry cat and dabbing."Pussy in your face, that'll put you in your–." I stopped when Ayu groaned loudly then jumped off from the second floor and she landed on the floor with a heavy thud. "Superhero landing!" I mocked while clapping my hands enthusiastically and Jiroo and I laughed."That's enough! I've had enough! I'm not having it anymore, you girls are so messed and fucked up!" She yelled as she walked towards us with anger, ready to beat the hell out of us."Whoa whoa whoa, calm down, we are j
LIAMAyu was the one who volunteered to drive to the coffee shop for today as she didn't trust me, Jiroo, even Sean and Tom who're asleep in the backseat. I told them not to come with us but they insisted because the four of us had the same reason, we don't want to sulk inside our room and think about our partners who left us.The car parked in an exclusive parking lot for the owners and Ayu released a lungful sigh after she turned off the engine. "Guys, I can still drive you all back to the mansion in case you decided to just sleep.""We're already here, let's just start working." I said before I unbuckled my seatbelt and pushed the door open on my side. The guys followed me and we all walked inside the shop and were greeted by the three crews who were already working. Ayu walked straight to the counter to help Jiyo."Good morning." Lia greets with a wide and cute smile. "There are new applicants, here is their resume.""Thank you, can I ask for a coffee?" "Ok, four black coffees?" S
LIAM"Demons!" A deep voice booms the entire hall and everyone starts to panic, they are running and yelling."Wow, our impact." Nami awed."Quick! Grab everyone– no! Not civilians stupid!" Ayu hissed at Tom when the latter grabbed the hand of one Olympian who ran on his side. "Our friends! Not olympians!""Oh ok." Tom said and let go of the guy he was holding. "Jonas!""Nami!" We all turned to the owner of that voice and saw Jonas, he shoved the guy in front of him and he ran quickly towards us.Did she just fucking shoved Iris? One of the deities?!"Baby!" Nami shouted back and she flapped her wings and flew towards her boyfriend. Jonas stopped in the middle of the aisle and opened his arms, waiting for Nami to engulf him, but his eyes slowly widened when Nami looked like she had no intention of stopping and she seemed to be attacking the guy in front. "Shit!" Jonas blurted out and he started to run away. "Stop right there, moron!" Nami growls and she successfully grabs Jonas shoul
LIAM"Are you sure that we'll be safe?" Ayu asked worriedly as she was eyeing the drunken master Jiroo, who's cripplingly walking around my office with a bottle of whiskey in his hands."I don't know." I shrugged and giggled at the excitement knowing that I will see Hera again– or maybe I was just drunk? I've consumed too much alcohol these past few days, even today that Jiroo had admitted his true identity. "You're drunk, Liam. For once, I want to know if we'll be safe?! Can someone answer me?" Ayu shouted, looking at each of us but we're drunk, drunk in excitement and drunk in alcohol. "Why don't we just delay it for tomorrow?" "N-no! No.. no!" Jiroo said while turning his head on both sides and his index finger in front of him, moving like a car wiper. "Today, I will bring everyone where I was born!" He said, his voice deep and mighty. "Are you ready guys?!""Aye captain!" We all yelled except Ayu."Who lives in pineap–." Jiroo started to sing playfully and paused to take a swig o
HeraThe time had gone quickly and that two days passed by as quick as lightning and we hardly slept a wink, the wedding day has finally arrived and the five of us got out of the prison but still guarded with moreover 50 hoplites, along with the four high ranked hoplites who's bruises they got from punishments are still visible.Mona smiled when she opened the gate for us and she was about to hug us but when the other hoplite shot her a warning look, she stopped herself and just bowed her head."Nice to see you again.""Mona." I called and she slowly lifted her head. "Who did it to you?" I asked about the bruise on her left lips."It's p-part of the punishment, don't worry I'm fine." She said and stole a quick glance at the girl on her side before looking back at me. "We're going to guide you to the preparation room.""Hey you, why are you looking at our friend like that?!" Selene reprimanded and stood in front of the girl with her arms on her waist. "I'm just making sure that she's d
HERA"Exact- wait what?!" Ceres blurted out in astonishment."You may not remember this, but I'm your playmate when you were a toddler.""A toddler." I said and we laughed. "Of course she won't remember that.""You're crazy, how would you ever felt a love with a fucking toddler who knows nothing but to suck a thumb?" Ceres asked in disbelief."But now can suck a dick.""Shut up Selene!" Ceres scowled at her and we laughed again except Sanford who grimaced at what Selene said."I didn't say that I fell in love with you when you were a toddler, oh my God. I'm not a pedophile! And I was just literally three or four years old at that time!""Then when?!""This is so cute, reunion of the lovers, I see.." Ivana said and we burst out into much louder laughs."Shut up, Ivana!" Ceres sneered and turned to face the boy behind the bars. "Listen to me Sanford, I can't marry you because I already have Jiroo, and who cares if he tried to kill Hera-.""He didn't!" I snarled."Whatever, but what I'm t
HERA"Ceres, stop it." Ivana rebukes the girl raging in anger while pulling one of the girl's hair from the other prison, who's crying and begging for Ceres to let go of her hair. "No! This bitch kept dissing us just because we're also imprisoned here with her?!" Ceres growled and she slid her arm between the bars to wrap on the girl's neck, squeezing it to block her air pipe. "You fucking bitch! I already warned you to shut your mouth, didn't I?!""Y-yes, I'm s-sorry, I'll s-stop! P-please!" "Do you know who we are?!" Ceres asked again and tightened her arm, the girl started to turn blue but Ceres didn't seem to have any plan to let go until the girl passed out."Y-yes.""And who the fuck do you think you are for getting into our nerves?!" "I'm s-sorry." The girl replied weakly."Harder Ceres! Choke her hard!" Selene cheered with her hands in the air."She's going to pass out in one...two...three!" I exclaimed and clapped my hands giddily when Marcella ran out of breath and her eye
