Hecate
I look everywhere for Hestia, but the time I got there she's already gone. I just got home and grab the nearest liquor that I could find. I sigh and my eyes started to water again.
"Hestia my love, im sorry, please where are you?? Come back to me, my love." I muttered into the wind.
Then I heard somebody knocking on my door. I stood up to look who it is and it's Lilith. I opened the door to let her in.
"So did you find her??" Lilith asked then hand me a bottle of liquor.
I shook my head and led her to the living room where we sat down and I took a swig of Whiskey she brought.
"I was too late, she already left when I arrive there." As the pain creeps into my heart again.
"Sorry Hecate, so what are you gonna do now??" Lilith asks, concerned.
"I don't know Lilith, im scared of losing her. She's gonna come back to me right Lilith?? We're gonna get married... Next week. We're gonna start a family... Tell me she's gonna come back to me. She's gonna forgive me and come back to me right???" I look at her desperately.
Lilith just sigh, looking at me sadly.
"I don't have the answer to your questions Hecate, Hestia's hurting right now, you know it's hard for someone to forgive when they're still in pain," Lilith replied.
"I made a mistake if only I could turn back time, and change my actions, Hestia wouldn't be in pain right now. She's here... In my arms... Right now... We'd be... Preparing for... For our wedding right... Now." My voice breaks as the pain in my chest intensifies.
Lilith just sighed beside me, not sure what to say. I took a couple more swigs of the whiskey that Lilith brought.
"I saw in the CCTV footage that you and Agnes argued," Lilith asks changes the topic
I shook my head.
"She wants me back. She wants to start over with our relationship." I said blankly.
"And??" Raising an eyebrow.
"I'm done with her, I'm done with her manipulation and deception. She humiliated me, hurt me, manipulated me, and almost ruined my business." I said coldly. Then I took one last sip of the whiskey.
I and Lilith spoke for a couple of minutes, and she then left.
I entered my room and lay on my bed, I missed Hestia's warm body. I close my eyes and started remembering our cuddles and how I felt safe in her embrace.
//flashback//
I just got home after a stressful day at the office. I entered the bedroom when I saw Hestia, reading a book in the bed.
"Hi, love," I said with a tired voice.
Hestia can see how exhausted I am. So she put the book on the bedside table and open her arms. I immediately took off my shoes and crawled into her embrace.
"It's ok my love, you did a great job today, im so proud of you." She said then kissed the top of my head.
I smiled as I buried my face against her breast and arms wrapped around her waist.
"Love, thank you. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me." I said.
"I love you Hecate, so so much." She said soothing my back.
I look up to face her, then captured her lips into a heated kiss.
I can feel her smiling against my lips. I bit her lower lip and murmured.
"Why don't we go and take a shower together," with a sly smile.
"Mmmm... Just shower???" She said, she swiped her tongue at my lower lip.
I turned my attention to her neck and started kissing her neck and collarbone.
"Are suggesting that we should do more??" I said, nipping her neck.
She nods and that made me smile.
I pulled back and get off of her, and got out of the bed. Out of nowhere, I wrap my arms around her waist and carry her in my arms. She squeals and then laughs.
"HECATE!!!" then she bent down to capture my lips into a heated kiss and I carry her to the bathroom."
//end of Flashback//
Tears filled my eyes, as I drift off to sleep.
"Hestia" I murmured.
Hestia
I'm here sitting on the porch right now, looking at the stars, tears filled my eyes as I remember when I first met Hecate.
//Flashback//
I just finished reading the book that I bought last week. I was about to enter my car when I saw a woman kneeling in front of a woman, begging. The woman just ignored her then left, I can see the pain and brokenness in her eyes. Now she's kneeling on the ground crying and I can see the people walking and staring at her.
I sigh and walk towards her and give her one of my hands, she looks up to me, with a broken gaze. She accepts my hand and I pull her up and hugged her.
She broke down into tears against my embrace, as I soothe her back and give her a few words of advice.
"It's ok, you're worth it. You deserve better." I held her for a couple of minutes, then I took her to my car and bring her to my place. Where I give her some food and comforted her.
Then she would ask for me to hold her, which I gladly give her.
And that's how it started.
//end of Flashback//
I wipe my tears off of my cheeks when I hear footsteps coming to me.
It's my father. He wraps around my shoulder and leans into his arms.
"Papa, I wanna forgive her, but it hurts. I wanna see her so bad but I can't because it hurts so much." As sob against his shoulder.
"Oh my Princess, don't force yourself if you're still hurting." He said.
I just nod. Tomorrow, I'll go to Hecate's place and get all of my stuff. Then I'll go back to Greece.
Hecate
I woke up with a massive headache. I look to the side table and saw an Advil along with a letter and a ring.
My heart breaks into pieces when I recognize whose ring it was. It's Hestia's engagement ring, I read the letter and clutch it close to my heart and sob.
"Hestia love, im sorry, please come back to me... Don't leave me, my love, please you're the love of my life not her." I cry and broke down.
I saw the closet door was opened, I immediately run towards it then I saw all of Hestia's clothes was gone. All of her clothes, shoes, and jewelry are gone. Even some of her books are gone.
I immediately run towards where my phone is and called my mom. I don't know why I called her, but I don't know who else to call.
After a few rings, she picked up.
"Hello, Hecate??" I heard my mother's sweet voice.
"Mom... She... She left me, mom..." My voice started to shake.
"Mom... I messed up... So bad... Now-" I didn't finish my sentence when I heard my mother."HECATE WHAT HAPPENED???!! WHERE ARE YOU??!!" I heard my mother panic.
"I'm... Here a-at my... House... Hestia... Le-left me, mom..." I broke down clutching Hestia's rings against my chest.
Hestia
I'm here on the plane right now, getting ready for my flight back to Greece.
After a few minutes, we started to take off and now were in mid-air.
I look at the clouds aimlessly. Trying to imagine me in the future that I'm gonna rule a country. A future me without the love of my life by my side. A future me with a stranger that will become my husband or wife for my country.
There was a big controversy about me coming out as gay. I am the first in the history of the monarchy to come out as gay. My father fought for me and other people supported me too. That's when the government finally accepted me and now I can marry a woman.
"Goodbye, Hecate I hope you'll be happy with Agnes," I murmured at the clouds as we're passing by.
After our 11 hours flight from New York to Greece. We just landed at Greece's airport and the media is already here. Surrounded by the royal guards. Of course, I have to always be fashion-ready for them. Im wearing a white checkered suit dress completed with a white stiletto.
I put on my wireless earpods to listen to some music, while my red hair is down, covering the pods so no one can see them.
The media is shouting at me getting my attention.
"Princes Hestia!! Over here!!"
"Princess Hestia!!"
"Princess Hestia!!"
I just give them a polite smile and wave. Walking with poise and grace.
I can also hear them shouting at my father.
"Your Majesty!! Over here!!"
"King Atticus!!"
"Your Majesty!!!"
And my father also gives them a polite smile and wave.
We entered our car and drove back to Our estate.
We arrived at House Astaril, and we were greeted by the maids and someone I don't recognize.
The woman slightly bows down to me.
"Princess Hestia Katana Astaril"
Then to my father.
"Your Majesty."
My father just nods then introduces me to the woman.
"Hestia, this is Princess Eleanor Callista Castellanos, heir to the throne of house Castellanos."
Amelia I'm here in my living room right now, listening to my commander-in-chief. "X, King Atticus himself told us that you should stop pestering the crown Princess of house Astaril." "But chief, it's for a friend." I tried reasoning with him. "I don't care X, King Atticus already threatened to shut this organization down and believe me he has the power to stop our organization. If you don't stop looking for her daughter, our whole operations all over the world are done." I sigh and shook my head. "Chief my friend is miserable-" My sentence was cut off. "I don't give a crap about your friend X, there's a lot of people counting on this organization and I won't let your friend be the downfall of this group. I'm warning you X if you disobey my command I will have your clearance and badge revoked." My chief said in a se
[Eleanor]"Yes, your Majesty Hestia's with me." I replied.King Atticus took a deep sigh of relief."Where are you, Eleanor??" King Atticus asks."Hestia and I are in my ice skating rink, your Majesty," I replied.Yes, I own this ice skating rink. My father build it for me because I told him I wanna try ice skating. But I grew out of it and decided to share it with everyone."Thank you, Eleanor. Please take your time in there, Hestia needs it." King Atticus replied, and I can hear the gratefulness in his voice.He hangs up the call. I handed my phone to the security beside me, I grabbed a pair of ice skating shoes, and tie them properly.I entered the ice skating rink and joined Hestia. I gently grabbed her by the waist, to stop her from her tracks, she opene
[Hestia]Greg left my room, and I immediately entered my bathroom to freshen up. I took a quick shower, entered my walk-in closet. I put some light makeup on, then look for something casual to wear. As im rummaging through my closet, I realize that I need to go shopping.I put on some oversize blue sweater tucked in a short high waisted denim skirt. I put on some white shoes, then hurriedly left my room.I immediately walk towards my father's office and damn my room and my father's office are so far. I guess I kinda forgot how to live in a palace. I sigh as I keep walking to my father's office. After a few minutes, I've arrived outside my father's office. I gently knock on the door, then Greg opens the door, I entered his office and as I enter, I saw Eleanor sitting in front of my father's table."Father I am here." I announced myself, then I turn to face Eleanor.
~5 years~[Hestia]I'm here looking myself in the mirror as I ready myself, for my first public appearance. I'm wearing a white one shoulder satin A-line slit gown, with a gold belt, finished with a white stiletto.For my hair, my stylist decided to let my ginger hair fall. And im back to wearing a tiara, my stylist secured the diamond encrusted Ansorena tiara on my head. She made sure that it won't fall off my head.For 5 years, I've been learning to be a Princess and soon to be Queen. Eleanor would teach me every day, and the two of us have gotten pretty close for the past 5 years.Eleanor has been with me through my ups and downs. Days that I'm down because of heartaches. The time that I would cry about little things reminded me of Hecate. Eleanor was there for me, she helped me move on from Hecate. Then Eleanor and I would
[Hestia]I just finished my speech, and now my father and I are sitting in front and the middle of the table, and beside me is Eleanor, eating.Eleanor looked at me then gently smile, then resumes eating.After a few hours of mingling with the house leaders and members of parliament, the event has finally ended. Eleanor was about to head home and I was about to head home when my father speaks."Eleanor and Hestia, please come with me to my office, I have something important to discuss with the both of you." My father said.Eleanor and I looked at each other and then shrugs.My father started walking towards his office and we followed him. Eleanor and I are just following my father, silently. After a few minutes of walking, we have arrived at his office. As the three of us entered his office, he immediately speaks.
[Hestia]I just hid my face against my pillow, as Eleanor replied to Greg."We'll be out in 30 minutes Greg." Eleanor shouted."Great, His Majesty is waiting for the two of you in his office. He has something important to tell you before you're flight." Greg said."Thank you, Greg." Eleanor replied.Eleanor continued laughing, then crawled back on top of me, removing the pillow off my face.As she removes the pillow, I was pouting. Then Eleanor's laughing intensified, as she saw me pouting.She dropped a sweet kiss into my lips, then whisper."Wanna continue this in the bathroom agápi??"Eleanor said in a husky tone, biting my lower lip.I immediately nod, then I whisper against her lips."But we only hav
[Hestia]In a few minutes, we'll be landing at Reynah International, New York.Then Eleanor spoke beside me."Hey agápi, wanna get dressed before we land??" Eleanor asks.I immediately nodded and then stood up. Then Eleanor whispered something in my ear."Wanna change together, agápi??"She said, then gently bit my earlobe.I chuckle, then blush started creeping into my cheeks, then I face Eleanor, gently biting her lower lip.She captured my lips into a sweet kiss for a second, then waits for my reply.I laugh, then reply."But we only have a few minutes left agápi. Well, be landing soon." I replied.Eleanor didn't reply, she tugged my arm to the end side of the plane, where w
[Hecate] I'm here in my living room, glued to my TV, as I watch Hestia in somebody else's arms. A tear started to fall from my eye, as I'm watching Hestia, walk towards their car, being held by somebody else. "My love..." I whispered weekly against the air. For five years that I've been waiting for her, is this my karma for cheating on Hestia five years ago??? I clench my fist, as my tears keep falling from my eyes. Hestia changed so much. She became more beautiful, Elegant, and Regal. My beloved Hestia has changed so much. She changes the way she walks, her fashion sense. She's flaunting her beautiful orange hair, her mesmerizing emerald eyes, her beautiful slender body, her beautiful rosy lips.
