Chapter 1: No dating fools, especially in an apocalypse.
[Babel city]
Sunshine was married.
Her husband also known as her ex-fiancé’s father was sleeping in bed next to her, little whistling sounds of snores were coming from his nose.
She studied the marriage certificate in her hands, squinting for the tenth time, almost convincing herself that maybe if she blinked hard enough, her name would disappear and the right one would appear next to her husband’s name.
She blinked many times like a dramatic soap opera actress absorbing shocking news. They always had those long artificial eye lashes, heavy makeup often. And the camera would freeze and zoom in and out as those eye lashes moved up and down.
For her, nothing changed.
"How is it still my name? I blinked like a dozen times, why isn’t it changing? This can’t be real. Right, it is a dream, a very weird dream." She whispered to herself.
The denial she had was purposeless because the picture on the marriage certificate was of her and Hades Quinn. There was no mistaking those steely gray eyes and sharp jawline. Even in pictures, he managed to look as if he was about to reach out and rip out the throat of the camera man.
She looked at her hands and turned them over, no scars and no roughness. Her hands were still as soft as a kitten’s paw. The nails were well trimmed and painted light pink. The last time her nails had looked this good, she was twenty-four and still living in Quinn manor. She thought it was a dream so, Sunshine slapped her cheek and winced.
