The Billionaire's Accidental Love

The shrill sound of your alarm clock pierces the silence, pulling you from a restless sleep. After a week of graduation celebrations and catching up with friends in Las Vegas, the luxurious hotel room feels isolating. You silence the alarm, the events of the past few hours crashing down on you. The betrayal. The shock. The pain.

You drag yourself out of bed, the plush carpet a stark contrast to the raw ache in your heart. A cold shower helps clear your head slightly, but the image of Zeus and Mikaela remains seared into your mind. You get dressed, the familiar clothes feeling alien against your skin. Checking out of the hotel, you step out into the bright Las Vegas morning, the vibrant energy of the city feeling mocking. It's time to go back to New York, back to a life that now feels irrevocably changed. The cab ride to the airport is a blur, your thoughts consumed by the shattered remnants of your relationship. Boarding the flight, you try to distract yourself, but the hurt is a constant companion. Hours later, you land in New York, the city lights twinkling in the distance. It's early morning, and instead of going home, you impulsively head to Zeus's house, the duplicate key heavy in your hand. You need answers, closure, something to make sense of the wreckage. Stepping inside the quiet house, you creep upstairs, your heart pounding with a mix of dread and desperate hope. Standing before his bedroom door, you twist the knob, finding it unlocked. Taking a deep breath, you push the door open and shout "SURPRISE!" – only to have your world crumble around you.
