Sorcha Byrne and her twin used to love mythology when they were little. Their parents will tell them stories about the different gods and goddesses, and naturally, her twin brother's favorite is the King of the Gods, Zeus. But she was more drawn to Hestia. The goddess of the hearth, home, and family.
While Hestia was most known for tending the hearth and ensuring the well-being of her community, that wasn't what made Sorcha interested in her. It was the fact that she's wise enough to keep to herself, stay in a quiet place, and save herself from all the dramas around her.
She's the greatest unbothered queen, and Sorcha see herself in her. The only difference is that their hearths are far different from one another. She's like a frosty version of Hestia.
Not that she's unfeeling or anything. She's just more comfortable with ignoring everything around her. Since she makes no effort to try to understand the world outside of her own, it wasn't surprising that it's now causing her problems.
So here she is facing a dilemma since her no-nonsense attitude is causing problems at work. She was expecting to get fired, but the Dawson siblings are really good employers.
As a compromise, they propose an interpersonal skills training just for her. She just need to take on a small special case where she will be shadowed to mentor someone in the ins and outs of her daily job.
Wala naman sanang problema. It's supposed to be easy... except it wasn't. Not when the person she's "babysitting" is far from the idea she have of a wide-eyed student, and instead she's going to be stuck for ninety hell days with Darien Zeon Henderson, also known as Daze, a famous actor who is currently preparing for a role he's going to play.
Ninety days? Damn it. Someone just please burn me and sacrifice me to the gods and goddesses, or it would be Daze Henderson that I will offer as one!
"Lana i want you to be on my wedding day, there's no excuse I don't want to hear it anymore. You graduated from med school a few months ago and i know you're running out of you excuses stocks" she said as i smile.
"I'll be back sooner than you think, and i promise I'm going to be there Diana" i said while staring into my best friend's face on my laptop screen.
"you promised okay, see you there bubz" She said as she hung up the video call.
I called Gabriel's number then after a few rings he finally picked up,
"Hey sis"
"Hey, Are you busy?"
"Not really, why?"
"Can you keep it as a secret?" I asked him.
"Of course" he said.
"Prepare the jet for next week, I'm going back home" i said as i smile.

I was working in my office room until my secretary walked in with a big smile on her face, ugh she smiles a lot it annoyed me.
"Sir Mr. Blake is here" she said.
Blake was one of my bodyguards and he had been following me around since the past few years.
"Let him in" i said.
He walked in with his normal bodyguard suit and an earpiece on his ear,
"Sir" he said.
I ignored him while kept typing on my laptop to prepared a presentation for a meeting with a very important client,
"She's back" Blake said and it made my head popped up to looked up at him.
"After 6 damn years?" I asked him.
"She's back in town sir" he informed me.
"Agatha cancel all the meeting today" i said to my secretary that was standing on the door.
"Got it sir" she said before walking away.
"Blake, prepare my car" i said.
"Got it sir" he said before turning around and left.
Avalana, it's been 6 fucking years since you left me. And I'm here still waiting for you to come back as i promise you back then.
I'm going to make you mine again.
