Chapter 1.1

Hestia

"I'm going back to Greece and start fulfilling my royal duties," I said weakly to Nyx.

"Are gonna talk to Hecate before you leave???" She asks softly.

I shook my head as a tear falls from my eyes after hearing her name.

"I can't face her, Nyx. I don't have the strength to face her right now." I said weekly.

"But you have to talk to her Katana, she's still your fiancee and you deserve to hear the explanation for the sake of your sanity," Nyx exclaimed.

"Nyx, if I saw her again I'll just hurt myself." A tear fall from my eyes.

Hecate

I'm here at my house right now, drinking every ounce of liquor that I could find.

Amelia couldn't find Hestia no matter how hard she tries. God why the fucking fuck did I hurt her?

I wanna beat myself up for hurting Hestia.

I walk towards my closet and Hestia's clothes were still there. I took one of her dresses and wrap my arms around it.

My tears started to stream from my eyes.

"Love, please where are you?? Love, please im sorry, please come back to me. Hestia..." As I muttered against her dress.

I close my eyes and started remembering the day we got engaged.

//flashback//

I took Hestia's hand and kneel on one knee.

"Hecate..." She gasped.

"Hestia love, you've been my number one supporter and cheerleader. You made me feel happy, love, and special. You are my light through my dark times, you help me get through to the toughest moments of my life. Now I promise to cherish and never hurt you. Promise to love you until our hair turns gray. Hestia Katana Astaril will you marry me??" I asked her.

Seconds seem like forever as I'm waiting for her to answer.

She nods, while happy tears fall from her eyes.

"Yes Hecate, I'll marry you." I slip the ring into her finger, stand up and capture her lips into a sweet kiss.

"Thank you, God I love you so much," I whispered as I wipe her tears from her cheeks.

"No thank you, and I love you too Hecate. So so much."

//End of Flashback//

I plop down the bed and started remembering our after sex cuddles and how many times I took her in my bed.

My tears fall from my eyes, regretting the stupidity of my actions. If this pain is the consequence of my actions then ill gladly accept it. But please God, don't take Hestia away from me.

As I hold her dress close to my chest. And pray.

"Please... God don't take Hestia away from me. I know I made a mistake, but please don't let her leave me." As my tears stream from my eyes never leaving, as I cradle Hestia's dress taking in her scent.

Hestia

Nyx just left because she has a photoshoot today. And I got a call from my father that he's on the way.

After a couple of minutes of waiting, the royal guards entered my house, along with my father.

I immediately run towards my father and embrace him.

"Papa, thélo na páo spíti."

(I wanna go home) as I sob and cling onto my father.

"It's ok my Princess. We'll go home and I promise you, I won't let anyone make you cry ever again." As my father soothed my back.

"Was I'm not good enough papa?? What did I do wrong papa??" I asked.

He framed my face against his hands.

"Listen here my Princess, you didn't do anything wrong ok. And never question yourself ok, you are the Princess of Greece. Papa will make sure that you won't cry again."

I nodded and cling to my father.

I hang on to him for a couple of minutes, he spoke again.

"Grab your stuff, my Princess, we'll go back to Greece."

I nodded.

I'm here at the mall right now, buying something for my trip to Greece. And my royal guards are back.

I'm wearing a pink high-waisted skirt, match with a white crop top, complete with a pink crop blazer and white stiletto. People keep staring at me because im heavily guarded.

I was about to enter a boutique when someone block my path. And it's Agnes. I just sigh and looked at her coldly and say.

"What??"

"Oh, nothing I just wanna see your broken and pathetic self." She said smirking.

My guards were about to grab her and distance her from me when I gestured to them not to.

"Ohhh and what's this?? Since when did you have bodyguards loser??" She said, eyeing my bodyguards from head to toe.

"You call me a loser when you are a whore." I can see she's fuming mad. I chuckled lightly and spoke again.

"You're a pathetic bitch who sleeps with everyone for money, and you dare to call me a loser."

Without any hesitation, she slaps me across the face. My guards seize her when she screams.

"You're a loser and a nobody, Hestia!!" She screams while my guards are restricting her.

I gestured them to stop and they stop, then I face her.

"I am Princess Hestia Katana Astaril, heir to the throne of the house Astaril in Greece, and you call me a nobody." I shook my head and I can see the shock on her face.

I look at my guards and say,

"Get her away from my sight." And they nodded.

Hecate

I was awoken by the sound of my phone and someone is calling me. I look to see who's calling and im hoping that it's Hestia. I sigh when I saw the caller is, it's Lilith.

"What do you want??" I said, tiredly.

"Agnes slapped Hestia at my mall, a couple of minutes, ago. Now go, and pray that she's still there."

I immediately jump, upon hearing Hestia's name.

"Where mf??!!" I immediately put on some fresh clothes and run towards my car.

"South branch, now hurry and go, don't mess up this time mf." Then she hangs up the call.

I furiously drove my Cadillac to Lilith's south branch mall.

I parked my car and run inside the mall. Fuck it, this is a huge mall.

With desperation,

I shouted her name.

"HESTIA!!!" Then everyone's eyes are on me. But I don't care, as long as I see Hestia.

"HESTIA!!! PLEASE LOVE!!!" as I begged in my plea. 

The people around me are staring at me, murmuring.

But I don't care if it's embarrassing, If it's the only way to see Hestia, then I'll gladly embarrass myself in front of these people.

"HESTIA!!! LOVE!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

Then someone grabbed my shoulder. I immediately look to see who it is, hoping that it's Hestia. But it's not Hestia, it's Agnes.

I took her hands off of my shoulder and ignored her,

"She's gone Hecate," Agnes said, with a sound of victory in her tone.

"No, she's not gonna leave me, we'll gonna get married next week..." Panic and fear fill my body.

Agnes wrapped her arms around me and say,

"She's gone Hecate, she's not coming back. Come back to me Hecate, please choose me instead, please let's start-"

I didn't let her finish her sentence and push her away from me. I can't believe she'd say that after the hell she put me through.

"How the fucking fuck can you say that after the shit I went through because of you?? And now I'm in pain and Hestia is in pain because of you." Tears started to fall from my eyes, because of pain and anger.

I turn my back on her and started looking for Hestia.

But she stopped me, as she wrapped her arms around my waist tightly.

"Hecate I'm sorry, please forget about her, choose me instead. Please Hecate... I've made a mistake before, and I'm sorry."

I took her arms off of my body and left.

Hestia

I'm here in my room right now, sulking. Tomorrow I'll be leaving New York and going back to Greece and start fulfilling my Royal Duties.

Tears started to fall from my eyes remembering that I'll never see Hecate again. I took my engagement ring and started staring at it. Then I remembered our sweet moments together,

//flashback//

I just woke and I can feel Hecate's body is pressed against my naked body.

I can see she's sleeping peacefully against my body.

I poke her cheeks gently and laugh a little. Then after a few minutes, she smiled.

"Good morning love." She said with a sleepy tone.

"Good morning to you too my love." I bent to give her a soft kiss then spoke again.

"Sleep a little more love, while I'll us some breakfast," I said soothingly.

"But I wanna sleep against your warm body." She said in a childlike voice.

I laugh and pinch her nose slightly.

"Don't worry, I'll be back in a minute." Then drop and soft kiss into her lips.

"Ok, but hurry cause I wanna cuddle." Then she pouts.

I laugh and kissed her lips, then got out of the bed naked.

//end of Flashback//

Tears started streaming from my eyes as I reminiscence.
