The Helio's Bride
A princess with a twisted past. When her fate takes an unfortunate turn, she is thrown off her pedestal and into the web of marriage with the bloodthirsty king of the enemy kingdom. Faced with life and death choices, Delaney must decide whether to side with the enemy—her new husband—or her family who betrayed her. __ As the son of the sun goddess, Darius finds his life unnecessarily long and boring. Until he meets his bride, Delaney, the feisty, fiery princess who is rumored to have rejected suitors by the dozen, the only female descendant of his arch nemesis, and a demon princess. When they get married, will he use her in his quest for revenge, or fall in the trap of her charm like every other male does?
Chapter 122
"Is it because I have unfinished business in the underworld?" She tried to find reasons why this was happening. It didn't make any sense. Darius was a powerful deity. How come he couldn't pull her out of the underworld either?
He shook his head. "I don't know." He glanced at his wrist for a moment and while he gazed at their locked hands, he jumped onto her side.
"Darius, it's almost midnight. There's no use. You still have to go home without me." She cupped his face.
He didn't say a word, merely leading her back into the depth of the underworld. It took her ages to understand his decision and as soon as she did, she stopped abruptly. "No."
"What do you mean no? My wife is stuck here. All I want is to be with you. It doesn't matter where we are." He declared.
"I'm in the underworld because I am a demon and cannot be sent for reincarnation. If you come with me, you will be stuck here too!" She tried to nudge him back towards the door.
