Xeus' P.O.V.

Pine, Hades and I spend the rest of our time playing scrabble, with some bickering between Hades and I here and there, along with Pine accusing Hades of cheating and making up a word which did not make any sense, which again led to another session of endless bickering between the two. Soon, It was time for Regina June's interview and I didn't know why, but I felt my stomach clenching and a sudden feeling of dread and excitement wash over me as the clock neared hitting 18:00 pm.

We all turned our attention to 'Business News' channel and waited patiently for the interview to be broadcast-ed.

Just as the clock hit 18:00, the interview show began with the host/interviewer introducing herself and her co-host with some introductions about the 'one' she is going to interview today and how excited and nervous she actually is to be interviewing her. Just as she directs the camera towards her guest, Regina June, I feel as if the whole has stopped spinning on its Axis.

My heart began thumping atrociously against my chest and it feels as if it's going to break through my rib cage and jump out of it. Hades and Pine are sitting their, baffled and are just as surprised or should I say thrilled as I am. Regina June is none other than my ex-wife, My Hera.

The woman who left me, the woman I fell in love with , the woman I've been searching for relentlessly is none other than the C.E.O. of a worldwide famous printing company....I stare at the Television screen with my mouth wide open as Hera, or should I say Regina flashes the interviewer a toothy grin and politely shakes her hand. 

She sits down on the velvety couch and tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, something she used to do when she used to be nervous. She hasn't changed  much, except , her eyes, the same eyes I used to stare at , the same eyes which terrorize me at night are no longer dull and no longer hold that little tinge of fear or agony in them instead, they hold hope and love. Her long black hair which used to cascade down to her waist is now highlighted with streaks of honey brown int hem, Her tall slender legs are smooth just as they were back then. She has put on a little bit of weight which definitely suits her.

The interview begins with the question of how she established the company in the first place with no partnership at all.

"I owned a fair amount of shares in one of the well known Industries back in my home town, when I came here to start anew, I decided to sell my share and start a printing company...I have always loved and enjoyed reading, so I thought maybe I can start a company with the help of a few employees and print books of authors who aren't well known but deserve to be known worldwide." Hera answered.

She always enjoyed reading and would often indulge herself in our library back then. 

The interviewer then proceeds to ask her about her future plans to which she curtly replied that she wants to achieve world domination with her company and hopefully establish more branches of JUPITER.

She was then asked about the reason behind her naming the company 'JUPITER' to which she said that she has always been interested in astronomy and space and her name 'Regina June' is derived from 'Juno', The wife of Jupiter,so she opted to name it Jupiter.

I must say I am quite impressed, I always knew that My Hera is an intelligent woman.

After a series of questions regarding her business empire and her success, she was asked about her being a single mother.

"Yes, I am a single mother of a seven year old, My son Mars June is a charming young man and I'm quite blessed. "

Mars...she changed Ares' name too...no wonder I couldn't find her, she obliterated herself.

She was then asked about her dating life to which she blushed profusely. 

"I am dating Typhon Black the C.E.O. of Black Empires and Yes we've been dating for a half a year now and I do adore him, and Yes, he is going to be my date for the Annual Charity Ball at the New Years' Eve." she answers whilst blushing and fiddling with her fingers.

Typhon Black, that name itself  makes me cringe and leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, he is biggest rival and on top of that this bastard has the audacity to date my Hera!

My throats releases a growl and I feel myself becoming more agitated, by the end of the interview, Hades is sitting beside me trying to calm me.

"Brother, she moved on, You have no right to be jealous." he says. 

I look at him with nothing but pure rage in my eyes and I dial my secretary Thalia's number and ask her to book four tickets to the Annual Charity Ball in Malaysia.

This time, I am going to get Hera back home along with our son. I have waited for seven long years for them, and I won't wait anymore. I will convince her to be my wife again by hook or by crook. 

She is mine.
