[NEW, EDITED AND IMPROVED VERSION]

"Sir, what kind of makeup do you want us to do?" the famous makeup artist asked Zeus, eyeing him curiously.

Zeus glanced at him, his expression unreadable. "Make me look badly injured-bruises here and there, a swollen eye, and some cuts on my face."

The makeup artist raised an eyebrow. "That's... quite the choice."

Zeus scoffed. "I'm not here for your opinion. Just do it quickly. I've got somewhere to be."

Without another word, the artist nodded and took out his brushes, paints, and other materials. After two long hours of work, Zeus examined himself in the mirror. Cuts adorned his forehead and cheeks, his left eye appeared swollen, and his jaw and hands were covered in fake bruises. He looked like someone had beaten him to a pulp.

A smirk curled his lips. "Perfect."

He handed the makeup artist a wad of cash, about a thousand dollars, and walked out to his car. Glancing at his reflection in the rearview mirror, he whispered, "Oh, Y/N... I miss you." His dark chuckle filled the car.

What was he planning?

-

Y/N was still blushing, replaying what had happened earlier with Alex.

"I was about to kiss him..." she muttered, pacing around her room. "But I got so nervous!" She groaned, holding her head. "I shouldn't have pushed him away like that! I should've just kissed him-or at least let him finish what he was saying. Ugh, I always mess things up!"

Her eyes fell on her phone. Should I call him? she wondered. Her thumb hovered over the call button several times before she hesitated again. Anxiety flooded her mind, and negative scenarios played on repeat.

"What if he was just pointing out something on my face? What if I confess and he rejects me? What if he starts avoiding me? I'd embarrass myself and lose him forever... I'm such a loser!"

Frustrated, she clutched her phone. "Screw it!" She dialed Alex's number, her heart pounding.

After several failed attempts, Y/N gave up. He wasn't picking up.

"Why...?" she whispered, sadness washing over her. "Ah, he's probably busy. He'll call me back when he has time..."

But little did she know, Zeus had already planted seeds of doubt, threatening to destroy everything she had with Alex.

-

The doorbell rang continuously, pulling Y/N out of her thoughts. "I'm coming! Have some patience!" she yelled, rushing to the door.

Her eyes widened in shock. Standing in front of her was a badly beaten Zeus, breathing heavily, his face covered in bruises. His left eye was swollen, his hands scratched and bruised.

"Oh my God! Zeus! What happened to you?" she gasped, covering her mouth with her hands.

"May I come in?" he asked weakly.

"Yes! Of course, come in!" she said, stepping aside. Y/N instinctively grabbed his arm to steady him, unaware of the shivers that ran down Zeus's spine at her touch.

Why does her touch feel so perfect? Zeus thought. Why does she make me feel like this?

She led him to her bedroom, making him sit on the bed. Crossing her arms, she stood in front of him. "Now tell me-what happened?" Concern laced her voice.

Zeus fiddled with his fingers, avoiding her gaze. He looked out the window and sighed. "It's Alex..."

Y/N frowned. "What about Alex?"

Zeus licked his lips, locking eyes with her. "He beat me up because he thought I was stealing you from him."

Y/N blinked, stunned. She didn't want to believe it. "What? That's ridiculous! When did this happen?"

Zeus sighed. "After you ran away in the alley. He saw me and assumed I was the reason you left. He thought maybe you like me and that I'm ruining his chances with you."

Y/N shook her head, refusing to believe it. "Alex would never do that, Zeus! He wouldn't!"

Zeus leaned forward. "Then how would I know what happened between you two? How would I know that you walked away after he leaned in to kiss you?"

Y/N's breath caught in her throat. She couldn't deny the truth in his words.

"He shouldn't have done that," she muttered, tears welling up in her eyes. "I left because I got nervous... not because of you! He had no right to treat you like this! I'm so sorry, Zeus!"

She broke down, sobs wracked her body. "I'm so sorry..."

Zeus's heart clenched at the sight of her tears. It hurt him to see her like this, but it was necessary.

I'm sorry. Forgive me for this, but I'm doing it for us. For you and me to be together. I can give you the world, I promise. I'll give you all the love, care, and affection you deserve. You'll be my queen.

He crouched beside her and wrapped his arms around her trembling form. "It's okay. I'm fine. Don't cry," he whispered, gently rubbing her back.

Y/N buried her face in his chest, her arms wrapping around his neck as his hand rested on her waist. "I'm so sorry," she sobbed against him.

He stroked her hair, massaging her scalp softly.

When she finally pulled away, Zeus cupped her cheeks, wiping her tears with his thumbs. She stared at him with wide, tear-filled eyes. "Let me treat your bruises... these look awful," she said, her voice barely a whisper.

Zeus smiled charmingly. "Sure."
