                                                                       - CHAPTER 7 -

Third person's P.O.V. 

The forthcoming days after Hera's Interview was broadcast-ed all over the world, Xeus was overjoyed and torn at the same time, He felt contended with the fact that his ex wife and his son were still alive and they were very much healthy and happy, but, the reason behind him being torn was that he didn't know how Hera was going to react once she sees him again, he was constantly fighting an internal battle with himself, he was unsure of his own actions; Though he made an oath to himself that he is going to bring Hera and Ares back, he was still unsure whether she will agree on being a part of his life again, after all the things he has put her through, it wouldn't surprise him if she denies coming back, he knew it wasn't going to be easy, Making Hera submit to him was never easy, she has always been a head strong woman, back then, it wasn't easy either.

But, little did he know that this time, he has to be extra cautious, because this time, Hera wouldn't be unknown or unfamiliar to his tactics, she was a victim of his games and she was well aware that he doesn't play fair. Hera, being the intelligent woman she is, was well aware that Xeus along with her so called family were now aware of her whereabouts.And she also knew that her parents wouldn't stop at anything to make her provide them with the shares of her company and also introduce them to the world as her so called 'mentors' , she knew that her step sister will not stop until she gets her fifteen minutes of fame for being the elder sister to Hera, you see, Hera's father remarried after her mother died due to a severe case of brain cancer, he married a woman from a wealthy family who was a divorcee and had a daughter named, Hestia.

Her father, step mother and Hestia were always the perfect family to her before the eyes of the society, but no one knew what went on behind the close doors of their mansion, she was mistreated and verbally abused by the ones who were supposed to love her. They tormented her, and forced her into marrying Xeus but when she denied, her parents hatched a plan along with Xeus to make her submit and marry him, her father who was supposed to be her saviour and protector supplied Xeus with chloroform and asked him to take away her dignity all for money and fame, he knew that his daughter is a woman of pride and principles and once she loses the thing a woman nurtures and protects the most, she will give in. 

Hestia, on the other hand along with her mother always envied Hera for her looks and her intelligence, they knew that she was destined to do achieve success. So when Xeus approached them with a marriage proposal, they dived right in. They knew that a man as possessive and controlling as Xeus wouldn't let Hera out of his eye sight and having a career was totally out of the window. Hestia, envious and jealous of her younger step sister, supported Xeus and her step father's plan and so did her mother. They wanted Hera out of the picture. So, when they heard of her fleeing away after the divorce, both the wretched women were quite restless for they knew that Hera would do good for herself.

Watching Hera's interview as Regina June was itself a huge surprise for them, they knew that they had to bribe Hera with love to make her succumb to their wishes. So, the family of three began packing for the Annual Ball. 

But, they were mistaken just like Xeus.

They weren't aware that they weren't going to face Hera Knight or Hera Adams this time. They will be facing Regina June, a lioness who will pounce on anyone who would dare to harm her and her son. Unlike Hera, Regina was born from a broken heart, she was born from chaos, she was born because of Hera being unable to mend her broken self, she was made from the bits and pieces and she was a fighter and she was well ready to fight this time.

Xeus spend the rest of his days till the day of his flight to Asia quite peacefully, his Assistant was going to be date and his brother and sister in law were going to accompany him and finally, he was going to get a glimpse of the woman he has been searching for, he slept peacefully and took great care of his body, he knew that his Hera was a health freak, she never liked being negligent towards her own health. 

Hades and his wife were worried about Hera's reaction and Xeus' next step, they had a gut feeling that Hera was going to bite back and they knew she wouldn't give in and a feeling of dread was imprinted in their stomach leaving them restless, Hades was worried about his brother's fate and Pine knew that his ex sister in law will avenge her humiliation once she meet Xeus.

As for Hestia and her parents, they were quite excited and restless because they were going to get their hands on their next jack pot .

Hera on the other hand, wasn't anxious at all. She knew that her family was going to be a part of the ball along with her husband. But that was the least of her worries, she was more worried about her gown. 

The ball was just in three days and she hadn't picked a Gown for herself. Her boyfriend, Typhon offered to fetch something for her and she was eagerly waiting in her room to see his choice.

Finally her wait was over when the door flew open when none other than Typhon entered the room with a huge silver coloured horizontally long box in this hands. His eyes were clouded with emotions, he admired Hera and knew everything about her past, He was in fact in awe of her strength. 

He gestured Hera to open with the box with a warm smile adorning his soft lips.

Hera gasped as she carefully took out the gown and immediately fell in love with it, seeing her reaction Typhon flashed her a toothy grin and looked at her with love dancing around his grey orbs, he snaked his arm around her waist and kissed her collarbone softly. Hera hummed in satifaction with the Dress still clutched in her palms. 

Typhon slowly twirled her around and cupped her soft round cheeks with his slightly rough and big hands and leaned in and firmly pressed his lips against her soft pink ones.

Feeling his lips against her, made her stomach clench with butterflies oozing around ,she practically melted in his arms as their lips molded against one another perfectly, Typhon ran her tongue against the smooth surface of her bottom lip, which led to a shiver of pleasure run down Hera's spine, she opened her mouth wider and tilted her face to deepen the kiss.

Their tongue danced together in a smooth and mesmerizing rhythm, their heartbeats were in sync. There was no pressure on either of the beings as they slowly caressed each other's lips.

Hera and Typhon slowly pulled apart in order to breathe and give their lungs a much awaited rest. Their foreheads were pressed together, as they gazed into each other's eyes lovingly.

Scared of ruining the moment and breaking away their sacred bubble, Hera whispered almost inaudibly ,

"What are you thinking about?" 

Typhon smiled at the woman in his arms and whispered,

" I adore your very being, Regina."

And in that moment, Hera knew that she was happy and she wasn't afraid of what was to come.
