In a multiverse of infinite possibilities, is your destiny determined by your nature or by the nature of your world? Are we angels or devils? Is love meant to be caged or to be shared with a true lover? The Goetia family; is the richest and most powerful family in Hell. Young Prince Stolas was arranged to marry Stella when he came of age. His father bought the clown Blitzo to be Stolas's friend. But the two had formed a bond that made Stolas believe that he had a real friend. Years later, Stolas married Stella, but this marriage was more toxic than love. They had a child, a daughter named Octavia, but Stella never really loved Octavia. She only loved the luxury, riches, and power.
However, during one of Stella's so-called parties, Blitzo, or Blitz as he prefers, tries to break into Stolas's room and steal Stolas's book. Unfortunately, Stolas invited him into his bedroom. Blitz pulled on the charm and slept with Stolas to get the book. After that, Stella had been nastier and crueler to Stolas. Stolas finally got the divorce from Stella when Octavia was just seventeen. Stolas could finally be with Blitz, even though Blitz had his problems to deal with.
But in another universe, Stolas had decided to divorce Stella earlier before he had an affair with Blitz.
Another day in Hell or this case, the mansion of the Goetia family which was Stolas's version of Hell. He had just gotten out of bed, and taken his pills, then he walked inside five-year-old Octavia's bedroom to wake her up. Octavia loved her dad very much, she had more in common with him than she did with Stella. Just as Stolas came into the kitchen carrying Octavia in his arms, their mood turned sour seeing Stella waiting at the table. A scowl appeared on her face as she saw the happy father-daughter duo. Stolas put his daughter down and went to get breakfast. Via had only just sat down at the table when Stella looked like she was having a stroke.
"What is this?" she asked, pointing at Via's messy hair and pajamas.
"Stella, please not now," Stolas begged.
"Look at her! No pose, no class, and she looked like she just got into a fight! That is not how a proper lady is supposed to look or act!" Stella screamed.
Octavia whimpered hearing Stella being a drama queen. Stolas placed a plate of food in front of Octavia who started to dig in like a starving cat. Stella clutched her chest as if she was having a heart attack. "You filthy brat! Even Hell Hounds have better manners!" she shrieked.
Octavia was only five, but Stella treated her like she was just a burden or a nuisance. Stolas told Stella to drop the attitude in front of their daughter. But of course, she refused to listen to Stolas. She roughly grabbed Octavia by the scruff and dragged her into Octavia's bedroom. Stella grabbed a brush from the dresser and started to brush and tug at Octavia's hair. She forced Octavia into a small puffy hot pink dress and then she started putting about a pound of makeup on Octavia's face. By the time Stella was done, poor Octavia looked like a female version of Fizzarolli. Stella thought that Octavia looked so much better like this, but Octavia wasn't happy.
She tried to run to her father, but Stella grabbed her arm and then dragged her back. "A lady doesn't run in her dress," Stella stated in a harsh tone.
She made poor Octavia walk across the room while balancing books on her head to make her walk like a lady. The books would fall off her head after four steps, and Stella would make her repeat her walk every time the books fell. Octavia had tears in her eyes trying so hard to please her mother, but it wasn't enough. Stella would criticize the poor girl every time the books fell off her head. Stella had reached her breaking point when Octavia dropped the books for the twelfth time, she raised her hand and then slapped Octavia across the face. The slap left a huge bruise on her cheek.
"Your pathetic excuse of a royal!" Stella shouted, "I can't believe that you are my daughter! Your weak, poor excuse of a father has coddled you too much!"
