Hera. I stepped out of the car, gazing up at the tall building. Three other cars came to an halt. One at the front and two behind. The doors opened simultaneously, like they had planned it, and bodyguards filed out. Maria stepped out of one of the cars. I suppressed a sigh, wondering if we couldn't so somewhere without having bodyguards follow us around. As if this wasn't already attracting attention. “Let's go,” Ares said, holding my hand. He began to lead me into the building. I tucked my hair between my ears, waking with him. Maria and Adela were behind us, and the bodyguards quickly formed a wall around us. Even though people couldn't really see us, I wondered if I wasn't showing too much skin with the cropped hoodie and matching shorts I was wearing. I bit my lip, making sure to stay close to Ares as we got into the elevator with Maria, Adela and two other bodyguards. It wasn't long before the elevator doors opened and I stepped into an apartment, my hands still intertwine

Hera. I stood with my hands on my hips, staring at Sarah as she sorted out the dresses she got for Adela and I from the mall. I was surprised Adela let a maid pick out her cloth, but she said to trust Sarah's fashion sense. So that's exactly what I was doing. Not like I had a particularly great fashion sense. Adela was lying on my bed, her legs raised in the air, eyes closed and hair flying in every direction. I pressed my lips together,refusingthe urge to ask her where Ares was. I hadn't seen him since last night. He didn't come back home for dinner. And I hadn't seen him all morning. It was afternoon, almost evening, and we had three good hours before we are on our way to his parent's house. I eyed the dresses Sarah picked through and scrutinized before she dropped them somewhere else and picked another. Each dress was pretty. Unique in its own way. She does have a good fashion eye. I sighed, slumping on the bed,facing the floor to ceiling windows which was almost covered

Ares. My mouth was pressed into a tight line as the gates to my parents private estate opened, and my SUV’s drove in. From the corner of my eye, I saw Hera look around, and gasp slightly. Why wouldn't she? Of course she hasn't been in such a place before. She hasn't seen such a place before. The whole place was huge. The mansion itself was huge. There was a place for golf, tennis, basketball and sports like that. This was where we lived growing up. But after we all got into college, my parents moved out and we haven't been here for years now. From my peripheral, Hera turned my head to me, opened her mouth, then closed it, looking away. I didn't mean to be rude or harsh to her this morning. But I will not take it when someone insults a member of my family. Maybe I have been too nice to her. She needs to know her place. The car came to a halt and I pushed the door open, getting down immediately. I walked to the other side, eyeing Adela as she got down from the front seat. I ope

Hera. My eyes were fixated on the couple coming down the stairs. Mr and Mrs Grey. The actual Mr and Mrs Grey. Not my friends and I. My chest was thundering in my ears as Aurelia Grey and Paul Grey walked down, each step bringing them more closer to us. The living room had gone silent and I soon found myself self-conscious. Was my cloth appropriate enough? Was my hair appropriate enough? Was I appropriate enough? I didn't realize my hands were trembling until a familiar cologne filled my nose and then a body blocked my view of Aurelia and Paul. Ares stared down at me, his gray eyes staring deep into my green eyes. Slowly, his fingers closed around my trembling ones. “You're trembling. Why?“ He asked, so quiet that no one but me could hear him. “I'm-I-” I stuttered, not knowing what to tell him. I couldn't tell him that I was trembling because I was scared of meeting his parents and I didn't know if I'd be good enough. Besides, Ares didn't seem like someone who would care.

Ares. I watched as Hera made her way to the dining table, her friends by her side. She didn't glance back at me. Not even once. My brothers took their seat next to their girls, but Hera took a seat in between Adela and Teresa, leaving my space next to Adela. It was obvious she was mad at me, but it wasn't my fault. I told her to behave. And she didn't. But knowing my sister, she could have attacked Hera without any tangible reason at all. The table was all set, and the maids were no where to be seen, as usual. Maria effortlessly served out dinner and took her position next to Mom. My family and I closed our eyes, clasping our hands together. Our lips were sealed, but we were praying, nonetheless. It was a tradition in our home, to pray before eating. We soon began to eat, the silence thick and awkward, until my mother decided to break it. “So, you girls have lived in New York since you were kids?“ “Yes. We did,” Arina answered for them. The girl was bold and didn't hold back

Hera. I walked into the living room, wiping my sweaty hands on my joggers. Today was day two of having to live with Ares’ entire family and I was already hoping the week ends so I could at least go back home and get back to my normal lonely routine. Day one went so bad. The bandage on my left palm testifies to that. Day too didn't seem like it'd go well either. Teresa won't stop glowering at my friends and I. Aurelia and Paul were nice to us. Hermes was a fun company, but Atlas was no where to be found, and Ariana seemed like she couldn't care less. Everyone else was working out in the garden, but I had slipped away. My muscles were screaming at this point. I walked into the kitchen, my eyes darting around. The walls were polished white. The floor was gray marble, and the kitchen islands were gray too. There was one attached to the walls in an L shape, and there was another gigantic one in the middle of the kitchen. All the kitchen equipments were squeaky clean, and there we

Ares. I opened the door to my room quietly, walking in without any noise then closed the door. Hera was lying sideways on the bed, her phone in her face. It was almost dinner time, and she still hadn't come down. In fact, she hadn't come down since our little conversation this morning. And I hadn't come up too. In fact, I didn't know she'd be up here. I thought she'd want to be alone, and she knew I could come here anytime, so she'd go somewhere. But no, she came here instead. As I walked further into the room, she didn't act as though she saw me. Like she didn't know I was in the house. I frowned, walking around the bed to her back, and peering into her phone. “Stalker much?“ The phone fell to her stomach instantly as she scrambled up into a sitting position. Her hair has been made into a single neat braid. My lips twitch, wondering who had done that for her. Hera always makes her hair in a pony or a bun. She never braids it and rarely wears it down. Probably because she did

Hera. My eyes opened slowly, a throbbing headache welcoming me back to reality instead. I groaned, closing my eyes hard and gritted my teeth. I turned around on the bed and collided with a hard, warm wall. My eyes opened. No. Not a wall. I collided into Ares. My husband. I bit my lower lip, shifting backwards a bit to create some space between us, and then I sat up on the bed, watching him. His upper half was naked, and I wondered if his lower half was. I shouldn't be wondering those things too. I licked my dry lips and got out of bed, running my hands through my rough hair. It was still in it's braid, but my coily strands were already sticking out. I walked to the vanity and picked up an hair comb. I quickly loosened the braid and gently ran the comb through my hair from the ends to the roots. It was still sticking out in different places, but less. I doubted an hair wash would make it look neat. And I didn't exactly know how to take care of my hair the way Ariana did
