The day was here. The white wedding dress was glamorous and elegant. The dress was everything a girl would wish for on a wedding day. It was off-shoulder but not revealing at all. The hairdresser curled my hair and another woman hangs diamond earrings in my ear.My reflection stared back at me while the chatter goes on in my back. I have no family but the woman of his one is here in my as per the tradition.I briefly closed my eyes and prayed to God to help me throughout this.

They all are cheering for my burial. They don’t know what has happened to me.“You may kiss the bride”Hades turned towards me and his eyes showed that I have lost and he has won. His face held the satisfaction one took in his conquest. I squirmed under his gaze as he unveiled me.The lips collapsed on mine. Forgive O God for I have sinned.This is the confession I must have said back then during our first meeting. Now the time has left my hands and I have to pay for it.

Caludia’s POV:Everyone was enjoying the party downstairs so no one noticed as I pulled Carlos outside. “Drive me to this hotel” I said to him. On his blank face came a questioning frown but after looking at my face and seeing that I was dead serious he walked towards the garage. I was walking behind him. His abs visible through the tight white shirt he wore fueled my desires. Oh, what I yearn to do with his body. He will see tonight.Shortly we reached the hotel and I asked him to leave me at my room since I was feeling a little tipsy. By his way of walking, I could see that the drug I had slipped had also started to take effect. I handed him the key to my room and he opened it. I tugged him by his sleeve dragged him in the room.I was going to fulfill my desire tonight. All the nights and dreams I have masturbated thinking of him will be completed.
