Days...Weeks... And months had passed yet Persephone still ignoring him. Hades knew it could be this hard. Everyday is a heartbreak for him seeing those roses being thrown in the trash can by his wife.
His wife used to love roses thats why he is thinking that maybe those flowers could trigger her memories but nothing happens. She is still cold and distant towards him.
"I wish I never met you! I wish you'll vanish away from my life!"
Hades was stunned by her words. These are the most painful words she said unto him. Just by thinking of them never meeting each other is a stab in his heart. Yet, she can easily utter that wish?
How can she be so cruel to him? They love each other, they werw so inlove. What happened now? Is there arent any chances for their relationship anymore? All he ever wanted was to bring back her memories and love him again but now she despise him. He can see it everytime she throw words at him bitterly.
"Aaaaaaaaaah!!!!"
He came back to his senses when he hears the voice of the woman he is currently thinking. He was drown to his own deep thoughts that he didn't realize Persephone is now out of his sight.
He run as fast as he could towards the noise. Fears started to invade his system and the sweat on his face is an evidence that he is really nervous and scared not for him but for his love. He promised to keep her safe no matter what, even if it cost his life.
"Wife!"
He stop few meters away from his wife. Realization hit him when he saw who is choking his wife to death. A demon! But how? How can a demon be here at mortal world when they're supposed to be at the underworld.
"H-help...help m-me...p-please..."
Her wife is looking at him with tears rolling down her soft cheeks.
Looking at her fragile state makes him weak, the sight of his wife suffering is breaking his heart. Persephone is his strenght however his only weakness.
"See this woman? I will kill her using my bare hands King Hades. Look at you, your nothing but a piece of trash in this world without your power" the demon smirked at him.
He's furious but he do not have his power. How can he save his wife?
"What do you want?" He ask seriously which made the demon smile even more.
"Your throne in the underworld in exchange to this mortal's life"
He knew this could have happen. He needs to decide wisely but he can't think clearly knowing that his wife is having a hard time to breath.
His brother Zeus would get angry to him for sure when he give his throne to others. But everything is useless for him without his wife beside him.
"Let my wife go and you can have my throne" he calmly said but he never stop glancing at his wife nervously.
The demon grin evily at what he said and let go her wife who's now kneeling and catching her breath.
In just a snap the demon is now standing inches from him still having that wicked grin. If only he have his power, he can easily kill this demon but now its impossible. He gave up his power and throne for the mean time just to follow his wife here on earth.
"You highness...or just Hades? Hahaha oh well, the rumors were really true that you become a useless human for the mean time. Good for me I escape hell while you were busy mourning for the death of your love. Do you have any idea how I suffered on hell because of you? You whipped everyone, you punished everyone with an undead pain" the demon said bitterly. Anger filled his voice.
"Because that is what everyone deserves in hell." He answered that only makes the demon raging in anger causing to choke him.
"You are the one who makes us more evil! We pleaded to you all day...all night just for you to give us even a little time to break. But you are deaf! You are inconsiderate! You never hear us" the demon is more furious than before.
Hades is now having a hard time to breath. The demon is quit strong and everytime the demon spoke his grip on Hades' neck becomes tighter.
"I will kill you...I will kill youuuu---"
The demon was cut off and let go of Hades.
Hades cough and tried to look why the demon suddenly let go of him. The back of demon is now facing him. He saw his wife widen her eyes while holding a piece of wood.
"Wife!" His wife look at him while crying because of too much fear.
He tried hard just to get up and run towards his wife. He block his body to his wife before the demon can stab Persephone. He felt the knife penetrated from his back up to his stomach.
"Aaaaaaaah!!! Oh my God! Noooo" he heard his wife scream hysterically.
He wanted to see her face but his eyes become blurry. He didn't realize that he is already crying. Crying for too much pain not because of the stab but because he can't se his wife again.
His knees become weak causing him to fall hard on the cemented street. He felt a soft thing caressing his cheek and a tears dropping on his face. He knew it's his wife. Now there's a reason for him to smile again.
"I l-love you...w-wife" he manage to say.
The sob of her wife becomes stronger.
"Sshh...p-please don't... D-dont die on m-me..." Her voice is pleading.
He don't want to die but he can feel his own heart beating slowly as minutes passed by. He cant even utter a words anymore. He only manage to give his wife a smile. Even if he is dying, he's still the happiest man on earth and the happiest god in Olympus for he felt heaven in the arms of Persephone.
"I dont like you but it doesn't mean I hate you. I wish you to vanished but I never wish for you to die. Somehow, I can feel, deep within me that...that I know you and you're special even if I really don't know who you really are" she continued.
Heaven. Hades felt heaven in the edge of death.
"I love you my Persephone... My wife... " He wanted to say but darkness started to consume his consciousness.
