Chapter 1 Tired
William's POV_ "I'm sorry, Will. I’m sorry, I can't."Violin, I realized, simply frictions a high–pitched shrill, already hurting my ears.I watched her hand push the little red box back to me. Yes, I proposed to her. Yes, I wanted to spend my whole life with her. Yes, she declined – Rejected. She rejected my proposal. Yes, the accompanying musicians I hired are definitely not helping my mood despite me, paying exactly to make it romantic."Did I choose a mismatched ensemble, again?" I looked at my shirt, striking pinstripes of cream overlaying its midnight blue hue. This is a cotton blend and it cost me half of the last week's paycheck. Why did I think she will say yes again?What about all those years together? All the nights we spend together? Saying I love you’s."No. That's a good shirt." She stood up, her figure in a flowy red dress – now, looming over me. She adjusted her ha

Chapter 2 Moving On?
William's POV_ I've been like this for fifteen minutes.Hands stuck in midair as I was trying to type. Today has been mundane, like any other day of my life. But nothing I usually do every day registered. My head can't wrap itself yet around what happened.I glanced at the phone sitting beside my laptop. Metal, cold, and still. Waiting for "Let's have lunch." or "I'll cook dinner tonight." messages to flash. I am still in denial, I admit. But managing to go to work, function like a compensated human being weirded me out. I, myself, am aware I will barely move a muscle if it was true. I blinked several times, stopping heaviness weighing my eyes shut."Hey, Will

Chapter 3 Irritated Goddess
Aphrodite's POV_ I never wanted to kill somebody this bad. Not until today."Goddess of Love, and she doesn't know about moving on?" Athena yelped as she cackled even more. That's very unladylike, I do hope she's not drunk. I rolled my eyes. "Aphrodite hasn't even fallen in love for who knows how many eons ago." Artemis tried to stifle the laughter and wiped the tears on her already wet cheeks."What about Heppy? Hephaestus is a kind man. Aren't you two going out?" Athena smirked."Shut up, both of you. And Athena, don't drag Hephaestus in this conversation. He's kind, I know. But he's just a friend, no

Aphrodite's POV "So you mean, he suddenly called you and open the topic about marriage again?"I can't believe what I'm hearing from Hephaestus.We're both sitting on a bench inside the palace's garden, and wow catching up with each other, it's been hundreds of years since the last time we talk."I can never understand Lord Zeus. Why he's so eager to give you away. Maybe he's worried?" I can see the concern on his face, knowing Heppy, he might be thinking I'm sad and alone."Hold it, I'm totally fine. You don't have to worry. I'm fine being single. I can always deal with it." I smiled at him; I just hope he b

Chapter 10 Morning with the Goddess
Aphrodite's POV I'm pissed, I'm way more irritated. How dare he say those words to me? Me, the Goddess of Love meddling with people's business? If only I can throw away this tiresome job I did eons ago! In the first place, I didn't know why I ran from Mt. Olympus just to save this human from embarrassing himself. I'm tired of rewriting every single plan for him. I don't have time for all of this. I can just introduce myself and then proceed with deleting his memory. I can't really hide my powers to him, am I scaring him so much. I can really see how confused he is. Is he not afraid of me? "What are you? What are you-" he stops talking as soon as I walk towards him. I stopped time, though I can only do that temporarily since grandfather is the god of time. It's just to make an impression on him and he should feel afraid. "Listen to me human, my name is Aphrodite, the Goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, pas
