Third Person's P.O.V.

Hera and Typhon were in their own love bubble when Xeus' eyes caught on a a very familiar kid, his kid. Ares in fact, did resemble Xeus, from his highlighted cheekbones to his olive skin and jet black hair, Ares was just a mini Xeus. A sudden feeling of love and regret surged through him when he realized that his little son had to grow up without a father and he was the reason behind his mother being subjected to the cruel world. Before he realized what was happening, he found himself walking over to the table where his son was seated, only to be stopped by two bulky large 7 ft men.

Xeus composed himself and cleared his throat, "If you don't mind gentlemen, can I talk to the young man over there? I know him." he stated.

The men shook their head which further aggravated him, he wanted to scream, yell and shout but he knew he couldn't because it would jeopardize his image which was already tainted because even though the world did not know that Hera was his 'run away wife' who left him after catching him red handed on bed with another woman but everyone surely knew that he was a disloyal and unfaithful man which cost him a lot, after Hera left, words spread like wildfire, everyone knew that he was married but, being the greedy bastard he is, he kept Hera hidden from the rest of the world, because he believed that she was just his to behold. His clients left and he had to do everything to get his image back to how it was. 

Hera saw Xeus trying to get past the bodyguards to see Ares and at that moment, she was hurt, her heart pained to witness a man being kept from his own son, but that same hurt was gone as soon as she remembered that Xeus was the one who signed away the parental rights, he didn't want her son, she asked Typhon to get her a drink and made her way towards the table.

"Ah. I see Mr. Knight, you've finally met my son Mars." Hera said as she smiled, but Xeus' face was morphed into a scowl.

"Mars, honey, would you come here and greet your father?" Hera said as she gestured the bodyguards to leave and asked Ares to step forward.

Ares got up from his seat and looked at Xeus with a tight lipped professional smile and shook his hand firmly. Xeus couldn't help but feel impressed with his son's 'business like' demeanor, Hera did raise him to be a business man/

"At the young age of seven, you sure are quite formal, young man.And I like it." Xeus smiled at his son, more like beamed. Because, he met his son after 7 agonizing years.

"Thank you, father." Ares calmly replied. "May I be excused, Mom?" he asked. Hera who was carefully watching the entire exchange nodded her head.

You see, she despised Xeus but she couldn't bring herself to poison her son's mind by bitching 'bout his father, but Ares was a smart boy, he had read all the news articles and scandals his father was involved in and on top of that his mother raising him on his own made him dislike Xeus, he respected him for he helped his mother in giving birth to him. He didn't adore his father, he was Xeus' son after all and his ego would never let him adore someone who hurt his mother.

Xeus looked at Hera and they blinked at each other, after a long pause, Hera opened her mouth and calmly stated, "I did not tell him about the monster you are, Xeus and I never will, because, I wanted him to grow up with a supporting father by his side something which I never had, but you ditched him, for another woman and now, the damage is done. I'll allow you to be in his life but only if you promise to not interfere in mine."

Xeus looked at her for a minute and said, "No, Hera, I want both of you. Do not make this hard on yourself and come with me willingly."

"No."

"You're mine,I think I have to remind you that." he snarled but it didn't affect Hera at all.

"No, she isn't, she is mine." Typhon stated as he snaked up behind Hera and gave her the drink.

"Mr. Knight, I suppose YOU need to be reminded that you Cannot force yourself on someone. Regina here is a person and if she says No then, I suggest you should stop" Typhon said as he rested his chin on Hera's head.

Xeus clenched his jaw and that is when all hell break lose.....
