As I looked up at my Husband, Zeus, I took the crown that was placed atop my head and held it in front of me.

The beautiful leaves that once adorned the crown started to fall down. Once they hit the White marble floor, they crumbled into tiny specks of gold. One by one, the leaves fell, just like my respect for Zeus, who looked livid as he glowered at me.

As I looked at his beautiful face and felt a single drop of tear that hung on my eye lash fall down, the remnants of the crown blasted into golden dust. I began walking towards the door.

"You foolish Goddess, you do realize you will have no respect once you step out of this castle without my name and the title of the Queen of Gods!" said Zeus.

I  continued walking till I reached the door. I looked over my shoulder and said something that I should have said long ago, something I was scared to say as a Queen and a wife.

"I don't care."
