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 79 : The lion’s den

When Hades walked back to his car and closed his door, he felt completely helpless. He couldn't even bring himself to look up towards Persephone in fear he would see her return Tekos' affection.

This was it, he had lost her. Maybe Minthe was right, he didn't deserve Persephone, not after what he had put her through. First it was Minthe, then the tabloids, and now Minthe. She didn't deserve all of this drama.

"Pixie..."

'Yes lord Hades?'

"You can contact Asclepius for those antidepressants now..."

'Contacting Asclepius now.'

The drive to work was doleful to say the least. All the crimson eyed god wanted was to go home and drown his sorrows in a pint of whiskey. But unfortunately his job as king of the underworld could not allow him.

The last time he had succumbed to heartbreak, curtesy of his ex fiancé Minthe, he had withdrawn from his duties for months, and as a result the underworld had fallen into total chaos.
