He ruled over it all. The sprawling estate with everything you could have ever wanted was your home away from the land of the living.

Thick ivy vines clung to the strong stone exterior, transforming the simple structure into a beautiful garden. With overhanging trees, some that bore fruit and others with no other purpose than shade, created a euphoria.

An escape from the world above, laid out in multiple rooms with the sole purpose of pleasing you; his Persephone. A paradise within the safe and protected confines of this world.

Even if you had denied this was your home, it was yours. And you were Simon’s.

Simon had taken you from a world too diseased and dangerous, and gave you a paradise for you to enjoy. He was infatuated, blinded by your beauty and charm, a creature who would worship the ground you walked on.

He would stand between you and an army, Simon would lose the very edge of humanity in order to keep you safe. Everything he had, was yours. The King of the Underworld had his Queen, and no one would lay a finger on you.

He loved you, he was in awe of everything you had done.

You were his Persephone; he was your Hades. And nothing would come between Simon and his Persephone.
