The storm I never saw coming

Aiden's POV

I should've known Hera wouldn't back down that easily.

As I walked back to the living room to be with Artemis and Elara, I felt her presence lingering behind me. Like a shadow from my past that refused to disappear.

I thought I ended this the moment I told her I had moved on.

But I was wrong.

I turned around and saw her standing there, her arms crossed over her chest, eyes burning with resentment.

"What do you want now, Hera?" I asked coldly.

She smirked faintly. "You really think this is over, Aiden?"

I clenched my jaw. "I've already told you. I'm married. I have a family. There's nothing left between us."

Her smile widened as she slowly stepped toward me. "Oh, but there is."

I narrowed my eyes. "What the hell are you talking about?"

Her eyes glistened with something dark as she reached into her purse and pulled out a small envelope.
