Underworld Intern

This is basically a tale of Hades and Persephone, but not quite like you know it. The love that blossomed between Hades and Persephone was never a mere coincidence like Greek mythology suggests, there are ancient truths that were buried, lies that were praised, and connections that were severed, never again to see the light of day… Until now. Persephone, a sheltered, home schooled sweet little girl finally gets the chance to see the world beyond her mother’s reach and enrolls in the most prestigious university in all the three realms. Will she fulfill her mother’s wishes of working hard and graduating collage so she can take over the business? Or will her encounter with the king of the underworld completely throw her off track? ***** “Lord Hades! Lord Hades!” “How many times have I told you not to scream in my office Thanatos?” Thanatos stopped in front of the large black table and slipped a piece of paper across to the dark haired man who was smoking a cigar at the other end of it. “You need to see this.” Hades picked up the paper and trailed his deep crimson eyes over each line, his brows knitting more and more as he read. “Is this a some kind of fluke?” “I followed it up sir,” Thanatos responded. His voice indicated both excitement and nervousness, how could he not be? This had never happened before in the history of the underworld. “It’s not a fluke sir, someone actually applied to intern in the underworld.” “Persephone….” Hades mumbled to himself as she gazed at the picture attached to the application letter. “What are you up to little dove?”

Chapter 35 : Broken

Hades sat in his office staring down at the device Persephone had returned to him, the room was dim as he had turned off his lights, but it was not as dim as his aching heart.

Everything about this day had been completely disheartening, it was like the one time he thought he could have a shot at happiness, the world turned around and crushed all his hopes, sending him back to the pits of loneliness where he seemed to belong.

The worst part was, it was not the fact that Persephone had returned the phone that hurt him, it was the look in her eyes when she did. It was like after hearing Melia's words, she had made up her mind about what kind of man he was, and it tore Hades to pieces.

The god would honestly have the whole world despise him, he would have every woman think he was a terrible being, but not Persephone.
