Betrayed to Tartarus by the One I Saved Chapter 9
When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a temple on Mount Olympus.A warm, holy golden light covered me."It worked! It worked!" Hermes clapped excitedly. The gods behind him cheered. "Aiden, you saved the world from collapsing!"I sat up. My soul felt complete and full again."You've been through a lot, kid," Hermes walked up to me kindly. "As a reward, we're giving you a new life. Who do you want to be?"He waved his hand, and glowing options floated in the air."Olympian law says you can't be Aiden anymore," Hermes explained. "But you can choose any life you want."I looked at the tempting choices:A wealthy young lord in Athens, living in absolute luxury.A champion gladiator in Sparta, famous and admired by all.A brilliant poet in Thebes, leaving a legacy for centuries.Or a merchant, an officer, a noble...Every option meant wealth, power, and a fresh start.But my eyes landed on the most unremarkable choice of all:Argos Enclave Trainee — Cole."Are you sure?" Hermes looked

"I'm going to throw him into the sulfur lakes of Tartarus! I'll pay for your life with his soul!"Cassia screamed and rushed toward Adonis."Stop."I floated in front of her. My translucent body blocked her way.Cassia dropped her hands in defeat."Why..." She looked up, her beautiful face covered in blood and tears. "Aiden, I can't live without you... Even breathing hurts..."Seeing her cry like her heart was ripped out, I thought I'd soften up like I always did.But I touched my ghost chest. It was empty. Not a single ripple of heartache.I really, truly didn't love her anymore."Wake up, Cassia," I said. "This devoted act of yours makes me sick."Cassia flinched. She looked at me in disbelief."If you really loved me," I pointed at the half-dead priests, tearing off her mask. "You wouldn't have ordered them to use dark magic to ruin my dignity as a man!""If you really loved me, you wouldn't have watched me get skinned alive in hell just to protect another man!""If you really loved

Aiden’s POVI thought death meant peace. I thought it was just nothingness.But I woke up in a pure white temple on Olympus.I felt weightless. I looked down. I was a translucent soul."Aiden! Thank the gods you're awake!"Hermes, the messenger god, was sweating bullets. He rushed over like I was his savior.I looked at him coldly. I didn't say a word.I was dead. My ashes were scattered.I didn't care what game Olympus was playing now."Listen, I'll make it quick!" Hermes talked a mile a minute. "Your wife Cassia lost it! She's gone crazy! She's destroying the world!""Oh." I replied flatly. "Good for her."Hermes choked on my indifference."Did you not hear me?! She locked the new destiny's favorite, Adonis, in a basement and tortures him every day. She's on a killing spree!"Hermes pulled at his hair in a panic. "She's using the dark magic marks from that curse-transfer ritual to mess with the Fates' loom! She's dragging out every dark priest who helped her and slaughtering them as

Cassia’s POVI collapsed on the cold stone floor. My vision went dark.My nails were bloody from clawing at the ground.I don't know how long it took for the soul-crushing pain to fade.I trembled as I stood up. I clutched the bloody obsidian ring so hard it cut my palm."Lady Hecate..." A twisted madness sparked in my hollow eyes. "If I sacrifice Adonis... If I return his fated luck and send him to his death... will Aiden come back?"The goddess was silent for a long time. Her voice sounded tired and cold."It's too late. Once the threads of fate break and reweave, there is no going back. Aiden's soul is gone. He is never coming back."Never coming back.I threw my head back and let out a miserable, crazy laugh.My Aiden was never coming back.So why should the man who killed him get to step on his bones and enjoy his stolen glory?!I fought through the lingering pain and ripped open a portal.I teleported straight back to the side hall of the Olympian temple.Adonis was standing by t

In the projection, Aiden—my husband—lay lifeless on the bed.Adonis, the man hiding behind me, slapped him hard across the face."Stop pretending to be asleep, trash," Adonis sneered, looking vicious. "How does it feel losing your lower half?""Cassia brought me here to replace you. Your squad's glory? It's mine now.""Save your breath."Then, Adonis jammed a syringe of dark green Hydra venom straight into Aiden's vein!"No..." I covered my mouth, shaking violently. The tears wouldn't stop.I had actually believed Adonis's innocent act. I left them alone together!"This is just the beginning," Brynn sneered. He threw something bloody right at my face.An obsidian ring hit the stone floor. Clink.The sound was sharp. Deafening.I froze.It was a wedding ring carved from a meteorite.Years ago, Aiden almost died taking a magic strike for me. He carved this ring in his sickbed. He said the iron was as unbreakable as his vow to never abandon me.But now, he gave it back.So Aiden really di

Cassia’s POV"Impossible..."My hands shook. I read the prophecy again. And again."Lady Hecate!" I screamed through the communion bond, my voice cracking. "The prophecy is wrong, isn't it? Aiden's soul is so strong! How could he just... die?"Through the array, Hecate’s voice was ice-cold."The prophecy is never wrong, Cassia. Aiden is dead.""How..." My legs gave out. I hit the floor.It felt like an invisible hand was crushing my chest. I couldn't breathe."Because of your own stupidity and cruelty!" Hecate’s voice sliced through my denial. "You let your feelings blind you. You forced most of your divine protection onto Adonis. You even ordered dark magic to strip Aiden of his manhood and his very power!""No... I did it to...""Shut up!" Hecate snapped. "Your dark magic destroyed his life force. It snuffed out his destiny! You personally cut off his fated gifts and pushed him into a dead end!"No. That wasn't true!I shook my head frantically. I only wanted to save Adonis. I never
