RHEA POVTomorrow morning, even though Matthew has not recovered just yet, he still throw a party for us. And today, the set up inside their mansion was no different from the mating ball last time. There are a lot of wines being served in the round tables. A lot of foods to choose from. There are so many balloons pinned on the wall. Red petals have been scattered on the ground. The chandeliers are illuminating so brightly up in the ceiling. And wherever I laid my eyes on, I could not see anything sad. All of them are beyond happy with what is happening right now. It seems like we have not encountered a war yesterday. Or maybe I was just assuming things. Right now, I went back to Matthew's room and changed my outfit to red in order to match the event. I also put my lipstick and made my hair curly. Just this once, I would really like to be hailed as the most beautiful woman in the eyes of Matthew. As I was looking at myself in the mirror, someone started knocking on the damn door,
RHEA POVSuddenly, Matthew looked at me. "Rhea, I would like to apologize to you as well. You have been so kind and understanding of me.""As you have said, let us put everything behind the past. For now, I am truly happy to see both of you reconcile.""Matthew, please do the honor of guiding Rhea to walk downstairs.""Of course. Please have a sit on the table beside me and Rhea, I do not want you to be left out so Zeus was there. He is my youngest brother. As you have heard, we are not blood related but I treated him like a real brother. He is a kind person and open minded."Atlas just smiled at Matthew and then he headed downstairs. And when he was gone, I turned my gaze on Matthew. "Well done, I fell in love with you even more when you started hugging him. Although I also understand that you were jealous of him from the first time you heard of him.""Rhea, you are already mine so I am not worried about him anymore. So now that you see me already changed, I guess it's now time for
RHEA POVAfter the wedding and even during Saturday evening, everything seems so calm. The people who died on the battlefield was also given their respective funeral. We honored their bravery regardless of whether they are rogues or allies. But just like the rest of the days, we have to move forward with our lives. A lot of things have happened and I could no longer afford if something like this happens again. Just looking at the family of the victims hurts me from inside. What more if the person I love were on that situation. I could not imagine it to happen. Today is Sunday, and this is the day we have been waiting for. And right now, I must say that I am the most excited human being in the planet, knowing that this is the day of my marriage. Right now, Matthew hired five people for me to help me wear my while long gown. It was adorned with real diamonds and other gems that my eyes sparkled upon seeing it even though I have seen it several times. Even the helm of the gown, it loo
As I joyfully awoke and made my way to my vanity area, the hands of the clock ticked, indicating that it was now 9 in the evening. I took a seat and I could not help but gaze at myself in the mirror until my hazel blue eyes landed on my face while I brushed my fingers through my waist lengthy sandy blond hair.It is now finally the mating ball where everyone has a chance to find their mate- and I was so excited to wear my long gold gown hanging on the wall. It was adorned with fake diamonds which shone brightly whenever they hit the light.But sadness visited my face as I remembered my mom who passed away many years ago. According to my aunt, my mother left this sophisticated gold gown for me for the mating ball. I touched it gently as if I were touching my mom. My aunt said she died in a mysterious way and protected me while my father was killed by a mysterious Alpha. As I put on my gown, I stared at myself but something was missing. Damn! The necklace that my childhood friend named
When I saw her, my face started to blush. "Cindy, it's been a very long time! You looked stunning in your dazzling red gown!"I embraced her with enthusiasm but did not let her know that it was my birthday today.She flashed a smile. "How are you?" she asked while we were still hugging each other.I slipped from the hug and answered her. "I'm okay! I'm so glad to meet you again!"Her eyes sparkled with joy. "The feeling is mutual. Are you still with your cruel aunt?"I let out a frustrated sigh. "Well, that's a good guess!""Really? But they are so cruel to you and treat you like trash! How can you still live with them?""Have you forgotten that I must spend the rest of my life paying off a significant debt left by my parents?"Cindy gave me a pitying look. Are you willing to be their slave till you die? Are you comfortable with this kind of arrangement?I gently curled my lips into a smile and responded, "I came to the mating ball to meet my destined mate who will change my life fore
"Tonight, we have with us," she roamed her eyes as if she is looking for someone. "A shining hidden diamond among us!"Everyone started looking at each other in shock. The Moon Goddess shifted her gaze from her feet and began looking around. The murmurs grew louder as they are waiting for the Moon Goddess to reveal what she is talking about."Do you know what she is talking about?" said a familiar voice behind my back then stood next to me."Cindy? I thought you are with your friends?" I asked in wonder.She took a sip from the wine glass she is holding. "I was quite bored in my area and the view of the hall is much better here. Seriously, I am wondering who is she referring to?"I flinched, "I honestly can't say!""The one that will shine today is no other than," her eyes suddenly landed on me and she grinned. "Rhea!"My head just turned around and looked at the Moon Goddess. A feeling of fear mixed with shock gripped me. She put a smile on her face. Damn! This is so awkward and I ju
My cheeks reddened in excitement when he grabbed my hand, "hold on a second, where are you going to bring me?""Isn't it obvious? You are not welcome here anymore so I need to bring you to a safer place!" he said, tightening his grip on me.He opened his car and gazed at me, "Please get in the car while my father is still inside! If he caught us together, it would be a total mess!"I went inside his fancy car and he got in the driver's seat. He started the engine of his car and we got off the mansion quickly. He turned his gaze to me and gave me an apologetic grimace."First of all, I would like to apologize because of what I said earlier! Truly I tell you, there was not a single day that I missed thinking of you. Ever since we got separated, I was all by myself alone in my room while thinking of our memories together!"His pleading eyes make me forget what he said to me earlier. However, curiosity filled my mind."Why did you leave me without saying goodbye?""My father forced me to
I turned around and I saw his father glaring at us.I watched Matthew's father rush towards us."Rhea, hide on my back, I am the only one who can confront my dad!"I hide on his back and he bravely confronted his father."How did you find us?" he asked his father."Do you really think I'm stupid not to trace your location? I know that you were sneaking into this place these past few days and that alone is enough for me to effortlessly find you!"All Matthew can do is let out a frustrated sigh."What do you think you are doing, Matthew?" Lorenzo said with a deep and serious voice."Please, I cannot simply let go of my fated mate. She is my childhood sweetheart and I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life!""Let her go! I cannot afford a cursed Omega to tarnish the reputation of our family!""You don't have any right to tell me what to do," Matthew exclaimed. "Haven't you heard what the Moon Goddess said? She is my fated mate and it won't change! If you separate us, it would be a
