Montana's Sundress for the bottom portion of the chapter! I'd imagine the dress with nude heels!

Zeus's POV
I don't have a work call. I don't even have a damn call. I get the hell out of the fucking building because I'm about to break down like a kid having their favorite toy taken away.
When I get down to the lobby with sunglasses on, I cover my face and find Charles standing there. He walks with me to the car and I leave my other guard for Montana to get back to her apartment okay. We walk to the car and I get into the backseat silently.
I don't say anything as he drives. I sit there and take off my sunglasses when I finally break down. I just lost the girl that I love, sure two months isn't that bad, but I know that we won't be together after that. She'll figure out what she wants in life, and I won't be apart of that.
I won't be there, and selfishly I love her with my tiny cold heart. "Charles?" I ask him as I wipe the tears off my face.
"Yes sir Mr. Montgomery?" He asks me as he continues driving and he looks back to see me breaking down for only the second time in my life. I knew Montana would forgive me a few weeks ago, but not this time.
"I want you to keep eyes on her. Make sure she doesn't get hurt. Don't let her get hurt." I tell him as he nods and continues driving.
"Yes sir, the proposal set up?" He asks as I wipe my face in my hands. Little did Montana know that last night I decided to start getting things together in order to propose to her. I didn't expect to, but after talking with Athena and really asking myself if I wanted to marry her, I knew I did. I love her. And I know she's the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with, that was until now.
Because after that session I'm convinced that our individual problems are going to kill us together. So I'll let her go, and I'll try to figure out how I'll move on.
"Cancel it," I whisper as he nods and I wipe my face.

Montana's POV
Watching the man you love walk out of your life hurts. The first time I dumped him, it hurt. But this time, a mutual break up, it hurts. I haven't moved from my bed all day. I left the session crying my heart out, and I haven't moved since. I finally get up and manage to make my way to the bathroom as I take a look at my face. My makeup is so smeared off I look sick and looking at myself I know my heart is broke.
"It'll be okay," I whisper to myself over and over again in order to keep from crying. I keep myself together long enough to shower and feed Millie but then I'm back in the bed. I slip on the television as I smell the bed sheets, they smell just like Zeus. That makes me cry harder into the pillow.
