Chapter 1
“Although we've come to the end of the road, still I can't let you go, it's unnatural,
you belong to me, I belong to you”
Part 1: Missing the loving touch of a mother
I am Fortuna, considered as the goddess of good luck and one of the daughters of Zeus. My mother is Europa, the first queen of Crete. Considering the facts, I am a demi god. My great father, Zeus loved me so much that he is always saying that I am his lucky star. Well that’s why I’m the goddess of good luck. I am so glad to have a sweet daddy like him but still, I am longing for a mother’s caress and snuggles. I lived without a mother. Since I am just a little kid, my big sister, Athena is the one who raised me up. According to her, My Mother was a Phoenician and of course, really pretty which make my father fell madly in love with her. But Hera, my step mother, punished her after her childbirth to me. Luckily, I survived on her raging hands because my father hid me in a bag. Yeah! Inside of the bag of my big brother, Hermes, the messenger of gods! And now, I am currently living with the other gods and demi gods in the classically luxurious, The Savoy London Hotel.
One day, while I am in the corridor of the fourth floor of the hotel, waiting patiently to Antropos, my bestfriend as well as one of the Moerae sisters which dad really afraid of, on room 1700. She’s a quiet but jolly type of person. We are also studying on the same school, University of Nottingham where other teenager demi gods are also studying.
“Antropos, I’m just like waiting in here for years!” I cried out, finally giving up waiting for her to come out on her suite.
“Just wait a minute! I’m fixing my hair!” she said hastily inside the room.
I crossed my arms, feeling so irritated, and decided to roam around on the fourth floor. By the way, I am in the eight floor, room 1816. On left of Antropos’ room was Clotho’s and on the right was Lachesis’, her two older sisters. Antropos also have the power to cut the fate of a mortal that makes me admired her for some reason though she’s a weird gothic school girl in school. I don’t know but I felt weakest among the demi gods. Unlike Antropos, I don’t have special powers. Even my dad is the superior god, I don’t think so that I’m powerful like him. I looked on the corridor of the floor and found Jinn coming out on his room. Jinn is the most handsome, cutest and hottest demi guy I ever knew. He is Apollo and Cassandra’s son and FYI, he’s really good in Math which makes me in love with him. Well, as a teenager, it’s normal to have a crush but it is kinda weird, I am in love to my brother’s son.
I tried to ignore him but my eyes automatically focused on his irresistible face. Even now that I’m in my senior year, I don’t have the guts to talk to him. I’m too shy to do that. Suddenly, I saw my brother Apollo, on his businessman suit, coming out on the room too. Maybe, there’s a meeting on the highest floor where gods usually meets, that’s why he is wearing that. My brother waved a hand on me and winked. I smiled at him and my gaze focuses on Jinn instead at Apollo. I didn’t realize that I’m just like smiling on Jinn than to Apollo. Unexpectedly, Jinn smiled back at me. I tried to hide my blushing and my hiding goes successfully.
Suddenly, Cassandra goes out on the room too and ran near at them. She gave a box to Jinn (well, that box is the project for Physics) and kissed her son’s cheeks. Also, she tightens the red necktie of her husband, Apollo. Inside me, I felt jealous. I didn’t live with my mother. I don’t even know her face. What kind of child I am? Jealousy conquers my heart. I missed my unknown mother.
