"Hey, look at this," he grinned, pointing at the couple I had created not more than month ago.
He snapped his fingers and the second after, to my horror, the man and the woman broke their hands apart, turning to each other with angry expressions, before starting to argue.
"Stop it!" I demanded, turning his attention to me. "Stop ruining my couples! They are meant to be together and you can't just snap fingers and break them up!"
"That's the point, sweetheart," he smirked. "I break them up, because I can. I don't believe in love and I think I'm doing that man a favor by making him see that being single is much more awesome than being tied down to a woman."
"You are just a meanie, who is jealous of their relationship!"
"No, sweetheart," he chuckled. "I'm the anti-cupid."

Lela Heart is one of the cupids of the world. She's bubbly, cheery and lively and loves her job of bringing two people together. But good things don't last forever.
She is pulled out of this world, where there is no screaming or fighting, by one man, who titles himself as the anti-cupid. He'll not only destroy Lela's work, but tries to make her understand that love does not exist.
Lela ignores him and continues shooting people with love arrows, but how can she go on much longer, when there is always a stubborn, arrogant and conceited anti-cupid on her back, waiting the perfect moment to break those arrows?
"You see him as an heir of your empire and not as a family member. All you care about is the inheritance and not the child. If all you want is an heir then why not marry someone and produce as many heirs as you want." She stopped as she narrowed her eyes at him.
And then with a mocking expression she continued, "Or is it that you are unable to Re.Pro.Duce??" seeing the angry flush on his face her heart smiled with satisfaction.
But before she could celebrate her little victory against him he pulled her from her wrist and she collided with his hard chest. Snaking an arm around her waist he held her tightly as she struggled in his hold.
"Don't play with fire, Ms Lilly Jones or don't complain to me later if you end up getting burned."
"I've never hated anyone as much as I hate you." she spitted.
"The feelings are mutual then, sweetheart." he smiled.
