Marina's POV

Today's Ashton and my anniversary. Well, not really. We had to move it up because he's been busy with his schoolwork. Ashton went to Harvard. His father makes enough money to send him there, and Ashton earned the grades to go. I found an apartment close to where Harvard was, where we live, and I got a job to pay for the rent. It was hard to move so far from my family, but I wanted to support my boyfriend and help him while he studied. I had prepared a romantic dinner for our anniversary. I cooked beef ragu, poured two bottles of wine, and lit a candle. Ashton had gotten a good grade on his recent test, and I bought him a present to congratulate him.

Everything was set up and ready. Minutes later, I heard the door open. Excitedly, I ran to the door to hug Ashton, and I was so surprised when he slapped me across the face. I fell to the floor and looked up at him, tears trying to force themselves out of my eyes and a hand on my reddening cheek. "What's wrong with you?" I yelled at him.

"I need you to leave the apartment," he told me in a demanding tone.

"What?" I stood up. "This apartment is in my name. If anyone should be leaving, it's you, Ashton!"

Ashton smirked and chuckled. "Not anymore. I changed it while you were at your job. I managed to convince the landlord to do it. Now, pack up your stuff and leave! My new girlfriend is coming over, and I don't want her to see a shred of you."

"New girlfriend?" I muttered under my breath sadly. "But I'm your girlfriend. Who's this other bitch!"

I was slapped again, much harder than before, and I fell to the floor crying. Ashton groaned disgustedly, "Ugh, you're such a crybaby, and don't call my girlfriend a bitch. She's better than you in every way. Crystal's hotter, smarter, and she has so much money I might not have to work and end up like you. Her father owns a company, and if I play my cards right, I could become the CEO."

"Hubris," I said, glaring up at him. "Athena's children's most fatal flaw."

Ashton rolled his eyes. "Just pack up your things and get out. If you ever tell anyone what happened here, I will make your life a living hell. Now, leave."

"With pleasure," I mumbled, getting up and heading to the bedroom. I took Ashton's present with me. I paid over a hundred bucks for it, and I should get that much back. With two suitcases and a backpack, I walked to the bus station, sat on the bench, and cried. Four years of dating down the drain, all because of his stupidity. He cheated on me with someone rich? Really? That bastard! I worked so hard to make sure he had a place to study quietly and have a good meal, so he's almost never on an empty stomach. I supported him, I loved him, I did all this schist for him, and he just threw me away like a ragdoll. I worked so hard just for him. I work at a bar and periodically have drunk guys flirting with me, it was disgusting and creeped me out, but I endured it. That asshole.

"Marina?" I looked up to see the angel-blue eyes of Thalia Grace.

"Hey," I wiped away the tears and forced a smile.

"Don't do that," she said, frowning. "Don't pretend like you're okay. You don't need to do that anymore. The other huntresses and I saw what happened. Arty ordered us to take you to Poseidon for the night, and she'd do something about Ashton."

I choked back the tears and nodded. I got up and left with the group of hunters. I quietly sobbed for the entire walk; I still couldn't believe Ashton would do that to me. The closest body of water was the Charles River. At the edge of the river was where my father stood. I let go of the handle on my suitcase and ran over to him with my arms spread and tears pouring out of my eyes. Dad embraced me, hugging me tightly and kissing my head; I buried my face in his neck and cried my heart out. Dad looked up and muttered a thank you to the huntresses, who left. Dad and I sat down at the edge of the river. I continued to cry in his arms as he hugged me tightly and soothed me.

Poseidon's POV

Ashton hurt my daughter, and I'm going to obliterate him.

When I can, I go to bed early as my hands cramp from doing paperwork. I was able to do that tonight and was very irritated when I received a message from Artemis. I was curious about what she thought was so important to send me at this time of night, and I didn't get many messages from her. And was surprised to see it was a live video of my daughter's apartment. I knew when Ashton got accepted into Harvard, Marina went with him to support him. I've been to the bar she works at to visit her and let Sally know that Marina was okay. I gave my daughter large tips so she wouldn't have any problems keeping up with her rent or buying food, call it nepotism or whatever, but I'm just looking out for my little girl.

Anyway, the video showed Marina lighting a candle on a small table in a dark room. From the dim light from the candle, I could see two plates of food and a beautifully wrapped gift on the table. She's having a date with Ashton, I thought. I didn't like Ashton. He made my daughter happy, so I never did anything, but I envied him. At first, I thought I hated him because he was a man dating my little girl, but as time passed, I realized it was because I had feelings for my own child. I felt disgusted with myself at first. Disgusted that illicit fantasies would appear in my head every time I looked at Marina, disgusted that every time I went to my cabin I had sexual urges when I saw her asleep; she's my daughter, I shouldn't be having these urges or fantasies, but I did. I controlled myself every time and just masturbated when I was alone. Anyway, in the video, I heard the front door open, and my daughter's face lit up with happiness. I was getting a bit tired and more confused about why Artemis sent me the video until Ashton slapped my daughter across the face. I became more furious as I listened to what Ashton said, a girl prettier than Marina? No such thing! How dare he cheat on my daughter! And he slapped her again? Oh, this fucker is asking for death.

I received another message telling me to come pick up Marina. I happily obliged.

I was now consoling my daughter, as I did I came up with different ways to torture Ashton. I know Athena would hate me for hurting her "precious" son, but I'm sure after I tell her my reasons, she'd bug off. Marina removed her head from my neck, wiping her tears and controlling her sobbing, she asked. "Daddy, can I stay with you for a little while? I feel like staying away from the mortal world for some time."

"Of course, guppy, you can stay as long as you need," I cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead. "Now, let's go home. It's late and you need sleep."

We stood up, I grabbed one of her suitcases and we went to Atlantis. Marina has visited Atlantis before and I've reserved her a guest room in my palace in case she ever came. It became a second room to her. I left her there and said goodnight.

In the morning, a meeting was called on Olympus. Marina hadn't arrived for breakfast, I quickly checked up on her before going to the meeting. She was still asleep. I arrived at the meeting and found Ashton standing before the gods. "What's he doing here?" I asked angrily, glaring dangerously at Ashton.

"We received the video you did last night, Poseidon," Zeus told me.

"Uh, what video?" Ashton asked, fidgeting with his hands nervously. "I'm not really sure why I'm here. I know I didn't approve a wake-up call when Hermes rudely woke me up this morning."

"Really?" Apollo said, gripping his bow and sending harsh glares. "You don't know why you're here?"

Ashton shook his head. After a few more minutes of glaring and Athena stood up, with a distraught look on her face, screaming, "We know what you did to Marina! How could you, you stupid boy! I thought you were smarter and better than this, why in the name of Hades would you betray Marina like that?"

"Because he's a man," Artemis spoke grumpily, her arms crossed. "And anyway, I think he should be punished for what he did."

"For cheating on Marina?" Ashton gulped. "It's not really a big deal."

"We literally saw a live video of you slapping Marina across the face," Hermes told him. "Twice. Plus, you basically stole her apartment."

"Poseidon," Zeus turned to me. "Since Ashton broke your daughter's heart, how would you like him punished?"

"I want him to be our slave for eight-no, a century. Actually, eight centuries, and we work him to the bone."

"Alright, who wants him first?" Zeus looked around, but no one said anything. "Well, don't jump in all at once."

"I'll take him," Dionysus said.

"What? No!" Ashton cried. "I'm not going with you. You're lazy enough as it is."

"You don't have a choice Ashton," Zeus replied. "You're bound to us, now and until your eight centuries is up which is when you will die. Hephaestus make a pair of chains for Ashton so we don't have to worry about him getting away. Oh, and Ashton, you aren't allowed to go to or talk to Marina in any way, which includes sending her letters. Meeting adjourned."

Dionysus took Ashton away using his vines. Ashton kept calling out to his mother, begging her to help him. I looked at Athena, who was facing away from Ashton and almost looked like she was about to cry. I went home and checked on my daughter, my soldiers assured me she'd eaten. That's good.

Dionysus's POV

I plan on making Ashton's life here so miserable that he's going to be wishing for Tartarus.

I was surprised when I received that video. Honestly, seeing what Marina had prepared was making me hungry, I was angry when Ashton threw it all away. What a waste. And seeing him slap Marina, replacing her with some plastic slut, what an idiotic asshole. He just threw away his most precious glory. If I had a woman like Marina, I'd do everything to keep her by my side. Who am I kidding? I want Marina. I've wanted her since she was sixteen. While she does have her amazing looks, Marina is an amazing person and fighter on top of it; I've always imagined her being the mother of my child and playing with them on the porch of the Big House. My sentence was shortened to fifty years after I helped fight off Typhon. I never showed any interest in Marina because it would've pissed off uncle P. I tried my best to get my mind off her. I called her by the wrong name, I did my best to ignore her, but Marina had a habit of training with a sports bra and tight pants on, I couldn't help but look. Look at those swaying hips, her plump ass, and the way her breasts bounced when she ran laps around the arena or camp. I despised how the other campers got the same delicious view.

Ashton never deserved her. I should've made my move when I had the chance.

Hephaestus's POV

I've made many creations in my life, but none were as perfect as Marina.

I don't have a happy marriage, so there are days I wish I had a wife that loved me. I would prefer it to be Marina. I've seen how she treated Ashton before he betrayed her. Marina did everything for that boy so he could study in peace. She cooked, cleaned, did the laundry, and the dishes, worked tiring long hours at a bar where she was constantly hit on, and Marina did all that for Ashton only to receive nothing but betrayal in return.

She didn't deserve that. Marina deserved a better man than him. One who could make her happy. I know I can do that, I can make her happy.

I wasn't fond of looks. I was judged for my own appearance, so judging someone else's isn't really my thing. Marina's beautiful, yes, but she's also kind and caring, even to her enemies. I would love to have her as the mother of my children. She's loyal, so I know every child that she's pregnant with will be mine.

Zeus made a calendar, that'll be the same every year, of when and who Ashton would be staying with. I do metalworking and I know that boy has never even picked up a hammer, he'll get hurt easily as these metal pieces are sharp. I'm going to make sure his shackles hurt every time he moves.

Apollo's POV

It took everything in me not to shoot Ashton with an HIV arrow.

I always had a bad feeling about that boy. I always hated him, but it was because he had a great catch. I've seen millions of men abusing their wives/girlfriends or just losing the best thing they had. Mortals, as a civilization, haven't changed much. There are so many useless mortals.

I was so upset when I saw the food Marina had prepared thrown in the garbage. She'd done so much for this boy only to be deceived and have her heart broken. If she was my girlfriend, I'd spoil her as much as I could for all the things she does for me. I've loved Marina since the moment I laid my eyes on her, but she was too young at the time and my sister would've slapped me if I harmlessly flirted with Marina. I've written so many haikus, poems, and a few songs, and I've painted Marina since I've met her. I think reading some of my poems or singing one of the songs would cheer her up. You know what, I'll do that once she comes out of Atlantis, I can't visit that place without uncle P's permission.

Hermes's POV

That meeting certainly put me in a bad mood.

My son, Luke, should've snatched Marina up when he had the chance. I knew he had feelings for her, he just never expressed them. I know my son would've treated her far better than Ashton ever could, and I'm sure if Marina returned my son's feelings, he wouldn't be dead. This is why I hid my feelings for Marina from the two of them.

I didn't want to upset my son any further and I didn't want to steal Marina from him. Luke had very good tastes. Marina was a good fighter and a hard worker, she's a bit thick in the head, but there are times when she's smart. She's gorgeous on top of it. I don't know why Ashton would think some doll would be prettier than Marina. The video did show what the mistress looked like and she resembled Barbie. The rich girl had long blonde hair, a ridiculous amount of makeup on, and skimpy clothes. She had suitcases with her, that scoundrel. I've been to Marina's apartment a few times to deliver packages from her mom or friends, I'd make small talk with her. Marina's told me about the creepy guys from where she works, I swore to never tell her mother, but I was always worried about her; she assured me her father checked up on her from time to time.

Marina was a good soul. She didn't deserve what happened to her. I don't exactly need a slave, I can manage fine on my own, but after what Ashton did I have a few things I'd need him to do.

Ares's POV

What a coward. I hate men who abuse other women, not very manly.

I hated Marina when she beat me. The gods teased me about that, getting beaten by a twelve-year-old girl. As the years passed, I found myself watching Marina as she trained. Seeing her pant and sweat as those big breasts of hers bounced was a huge turn-on. With a strong woman like her, I'm sure to have powerful boys. I've only had fantasies of what it would be like to have her as my submissive sex slave and we'd have a few kids. I was expecting her to accept immortality, but she just had to turn it down for Ashton. Unfortunately, Marina was too young so I couldn't plow her, but I could've if she accepted the immortality.

But how fun would it be if I did. Although, Poseidon would've kicked my ass.

For a child of Athena, Ashton's a major dumbass. Poseidon's going to murder that boy when he comes to his realm, and I'm going to be there with popcorn.

Zeus's POV

I had a stern conversation with Athena after the meeting. I made it clear to her that I did not condone shat Ashton had done. She understood and assured me that she had disowned Ashton.

I always hated that boy and now I have a reason why. I made sure to tell Athena how I was disappointed in her for birthing her first idiotic boy, but I never told her that I was pissed off how Ashton hurt the future mother of my children. I had eyes for Marina when I first saw her, unfortunately, she was too young and times have changed so I'd have to wait until she turned eighteen. I had to fake hating her so Hera wouldn't do anything. Then, that bastard took her from me. Marina haunted my dreams with her seductive body. In some of my dreams, she was a stripper, had come back from a quest feeling horny, enticing me into her bedroom or bathroom, or storming into my palace on Olympus and begging me to fuck her. No matter what sex dream it was, I either woke up with a wet spot on my pants or morning wood. I was getting impatient, so I offered immortality to get her to age quickly. I never thought she'd turn it down just to be with Ashton. Maybe if I offer it again, Marina will say yes this time. I've already built a beautiful mansion for her and our future children out in the countryside, I hid it pretty well.

I have ways of flirting with women. I was always successful, no woman ever turned me down. I would've had a lot of making up to do with Marina, but it would've been worth it once she gave me an heir. Marina would be a perfect mother. I've heard her talking to her mother about wanting a baby, something she hoped to have after she and Ashton get married.

Maybe if I get her pregnant, she'll love me.

Hades's POV

I was angry enough to be woken up, but then I had to see that video of Ashton slapping his girlfriend. Well, ex-girlfriend now. The video made me embrace Persephone tightly, which she was confused about until she saw the video.

When I first saw Marina, I can't lie, I did have feelings for her but I knew Persephone would be angry. I begged my wife to let me be with Marina, she only agreed if Marina was my last lover. Seeing the video of what Ashton did pissed my wife off to extreme ends. Persephone couldn't sleep and I couldn't either. It was a pain in the ass because I had worked all day and I'm cranky on no sleep.

Then, I received word that Ashton would be the god's bitch, including mine, for eight hundred years. Just the thought of him being a slave brought a smile to my face. He'll rue the day he dared to lay his hands on my darling Marina.

Marina was a good fighter. She had a mouth on her but I think that's what made her so special. Her sassy, sarcastic side. How cute. I don't know if it was because she knew her father was why she was untouchable or because it was a habit of hers, but she sassed everyone she met no matter how powerful they were. I know the other gods wanted her as well as I. Marina doesn't know of the admirers she has and how they'd do anything to get their dick inside her. A beautiful woman such as her, with those caring and loving tendencies I know she'd be a good mother. I know of her desire for a child. I'd love to make her wish come true. . . for a price, of course. I have a suite with her and our future child's name on it waiting in the Caribbeans.

I would love to have a second wife for the summer. The loneliness is crippling me.
