Raising a Hero

She had only wanted to have a working marriage and a happy family. All of her efforts had been towards that goal. Despite that, her husband leaves her for another woman after the loss of her unborn child, and just as she starts to pick herself up, she dies in a car accident. But this isn't the end of her story. Her spirit is picked up by her brother. He happens to be a beginner god who needs help raising the hero who is supposed to save his fledgling world. Thinking he is offering her a long-sought-after opportunity to be a mother, she readily agrees, and he sends her down to his world with the gift of healing and a Methuselah grade body to aid her on her quest. She quickly finds her little boy and is overjoyed to have someone to love and baby at last. But this hero doesn't want her as his mother. He wants her as something else. Suggested for ages 14+. Raising a Hero is created by T.S. Lowe, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 65

It was me who finally broke the silence.

"I'm so sorry about Gus," I said.

"No, it is fine. I understand. Though there are two doors going in and out of the servants room. You can just lock the one that connects your rooms. I did mention that to him, didn't I?"

"Yes, you did." I was blushing again and had to put my teacup down to hide my face. "Ugh, I could strangle him right now."

"Rest assured, I don't, um, suppose anything of that. I do know your relationship."

I sighed. "I've never met a teenager so insistent on being treated like an adult."

"That aside, even if he doesn't see you as a mother, a relationship between master and apprentice doesn't allow such, um, romantic possibilities?"

I didn't want to talk about this anymore. I didn't want to think about it either. So I fell into another round of thanks to Roman, which he brushed off with the same well-bred grace and a reminder of how thankful he was, as well as how happy he was to have me working at the estate.
