Persephone

One week before the wedding, I am nervous, and I do not know what to do with myself. I have been having sleepless nights about the wedding and how it is going to be.

Today, I am meeting with Hades' siblings, I heard they were high maintenance, which I do believe because Hades can be a bit spoilt sometimes.

"Persephone."

I turn around and find Hecate holding a tray with my breakfast.

"Nena, I told you that you don't have to bring me my breakfast."

Hecate smiles and places the tray on my bedside table, "I know dear, but I know how tired you are."

I frown, "Is it normal? I'm never this nervous for anything."

Hecate laughs, "Of course it is dear. Have you spoken to your parents?"

I shake my head, "I'm not ready."

"You'll never be ready dear, so you have to tell them sooner or later."

"How will I even begin to explain all of this?"

Hecate places her hand on my shoulder, "You are stressing about this a little too much dear, just be open and honest with them."

I nod, "I guess."

"Take Hades with you, it'll help make it easier," she says with a smile.

"I think so too."

She kisses my head, "Now eat and get ready. Your in-laws will be here soon."

I laugh, "Okay."

She pats my shoulders and leaves, I walk to my bedside table and sip on the coffee, taking a piece of toast before walking over to the closet. I need to pick out an outfit for the day and I had no idea what to wear.

I place my coffee cup down and browse through my options, I take out a blue dress and smile.

"Perfect."

I finish up my breakfast and head for the shower. I finish taking a shower and do my makeup and put on a wig.

I smile feeling confident in my look, I slip on my diamond bracelet and a pair of stilettos and make my way downstairs to greet Hades. I pass by the kitchen and bump into Hecate.

"My oh my, do you look sexy," Hecate smirks, "You look, gorgeous dear."

"Thank you, Cate," I blush, "It's not too much."

"No dear, it's simple and elegant and it brings out those curves, something Hades is definitely going to love," she winks.

I blush and leave the kitchen, I find Hades in the lounge, talking on the phone with someone and I wait for him to turn around and when he does, he immediately stops talking and he stares at me.

He clears his throat and mumbles a few words before cutting the phone.

"Persephone," he sighs in disbelief.

"Too much?"

He chuckles, "Oh no, it's good, I love this dress on you."

He walks towards me and pulls me closer to him, he grabs my ass before running his hands down my waist. I am weak.

"I just want to take you right here, right now," he whispers into my ear, pressing me against him so I can feel his hard member on my thigh.

"Hades, we have guests coming soon."

He kisses my neck, "They can wait."

I try to fight him, but my body betrays me, I moan.

"Hades no," I say, pushing him away, "Later okay."

He growls, "Fine."

I sigh, "Thank you."

Then the doorbell rings, I look at him and he rolls his eyes. I hear Hecate say she will go open the door, which gives me time to gather myself.

Seconds later, in walks two women, one blonde and one brunette. The blonde woman was tall and slim, she had the body of a supermodel, a perfect figure, long blonde hair, and blue eyes, her makeup was on point and so was her revealing red dress. The brunette was more on the reserved side, he had a long floral dress on and scandals, her hair was tied up, she was beautiful, and she looked like Angelina Jolie.

"Hera, Hestia," Hades greets, he walks over to them and gives them each a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Those are his siblings?

"Hades, how are you?" the blonde smiles.

"Good, now that you're here," he says excitedly.

"This must be Persephone," the brunette says as she walks towards me, "I'm Hestia."

"Nice to meet you," I greet back.

"She's beautiful Hades and she's got a wonderful fashion sense," the blonde, who I am assuming is Hera says excitedly.

Hades chuckles shyly, "She is."

"I'm Hera, the sister-in-law," she smiles.

"Nice to meet you, Hera."

Hera gasps, "And she's so polite, unlike all the other whore you've ever introduced me to. I like her."

Another woman, who is this other whore?

I keep a smile on my face, but I already know that Hades knows.

Soon Don and another man walk in, and boy is he, one fine-ass man. Tall, much older than Don and Hades, chocolate brown hair, a bit of five o'clock shadow and the most amazing set of brown eyes I had ever seen. He is sex on legs, a walking turns on, he is a zaddy.

Wait what in the world am I saying? I am engaged, get it together Persephone.

"Don, Zeus, you made it," Hades says happily, he walks over to them and gives handshakes and brotherly hugs.

The gorgeous hunk, Zeus, I assume turns to me, walking towards me with a sinister smirk on his face.

"You must be Persephone," he says, he takes my hand into his and kisses it, "I'm Zeus."

That voice, I am melting.

"Pleasure to meet you," I say calmly.

"Pleasure is all mine," he replies lowly.

I cannot help but giggle, like a schoolgirl.

"Really Zeus, you're flirting with my future wife and in front of your wife."

Zeus looks over at Hera, who only glares and him before looking away.

Hades walks to us and pulls my hand away from his and he stands in front of me.

"Back off man."

Zeus raises his hands and walks to the other side of the room.

"Right, now that everyone is here, we can start," Don announces.

"Where is Fifi?" I ask.

Don looks at me and frowns, "She's not well dear but she sends her love."

"Oh, I'll call her later."

"And this is a second-generation gathering only," Hera says.

"Second-generation?"

"We'll explain it later, right now, we need to start with the programme."

What the hell? What programme?

Suddenly the room goes dark.
