love can betray you in painful ways

Hades is the god of the underworld. They know him as the keeper of the dead, but I know him as my father. My name is Ember but everyone calls me River. I have never told anyone that my father is Hades. But people are finding out my secret here on earth and soon the world will go to hell. But let me tell you my story from the beginning as to why I'm here on earth.
As gods and goddesses grow up and become adults, they are sent to earth to try to understand and survive in that world. So my dad sent me here to try and figure out what type of god I will be. When I came to this wretched place it was in 1920 when there was no beer aloud. So I ran a speakeasy. It was the best damn speakeasy there was. I made bank off of it. But there was always something illegal going wrong like a death or a murderer. In my speakeasy there were many people from the mafia who wanted to take me down because I was running them out of business. I always had a new fling all the time. Most of the time it was with the mafia boss so when I was done with them I killed them.
My father was not that happy about all the new people that were coming to hell. But he was happy about all the souls I took because all the stupid little humans wanted money or fame. But there was one person that had the most pretty soul but I couldn't take it because his soul was owned by someone else. My father. He had the one soul I wanted to have but didn’t want couldn’t to add to my collection. I wanted to have it for love. He was the one person I could love because he was a vampire. A demon like me. someone who could live with and stand my lifestyle and be immortal. But he has been on again off again with me. We were perfect together until he slept with that stupid human. So I left and i said “some day in the future i would come back and fall in love with him again. “ till then I will wait in the underworld.
Flash forward to 2021 where I am standing on the porch of a rich vampire house. “Umm ok we can do this. It has only been 200 years. I wonder if he looks the same, if he has the same crooked smile that made me fall in love with him.” I said to myself. As I'm about to ring the doorbell someone opens the door. “Honey there is a brown haired young woman out here on the porch.” Said the blond girl” coming” said jacy. When he comes to the door he freezes with a shocked look on his face. “Long time no see jacy” I said. “Do you know this girl babe” said the blond girl. “Yes, she is an old friend of mine.” said jacy. “Oh ok honey hi im nicky jacy wife” she said while shaking my hand. I wanted to run and hide and cry the pain away cause my jacy was not my jacy anymore he belonged to the stupied little human named nicky. But I put a brave face on and smile and say'' I”m river it nice to see someone made my jacyie happy” “ I just moved back here i thought i come say hi but it seems ur busy I just take my leave.” “no no no please stay. I would like to talk, honey would you please leave us alone so I can speak to the river” said jacy. “Yes sure babe” said nicky. “ What are you doing here ember ? U disappear and reappear out of nowhere and u think u can just come back like that. I thought you were gone forever. So I got over you and i'm happy so please don’t come back around.” said jacy then he shuts the door in my face and walks away.
I turned round, walked away crying and broken just like I was when he cheated on me with a human. So I called my brother simon. “ hey simon” I said while crying. “ What's wrong, bebes,” my brother said. “ I’m on earth and i went to see jacy and he is married and shut the door in my face. It hurt so much that he told me to go away. I left him so long ago but he hurt me and I couldn't stand him doing that to me anymore.” “ Well did you leave him too for so long you had to think something like this was going to happen” said simon. “ I know but to think he is gone and I can't have him anymore hurts so much.” I said “ I’m sorry this happened but I have to go. Kate is calling me to do something for her, I love sis.” simon said “ love you too bro” i said as i hung up.
i wanted to destroy his world take the one he loved away i wanted to kill nicky but i couldn’t do that cause if i hurt him it would hurt me more, but as hades child thats what i wanted to so I sent my best demon to watcher and see if she is doing something I that would hurt him so much that he would leave her. Next few days I waited and waited and finally my demon came back. “She has been cheating on him,” said my little demon. So she is doing what he did to me. She is causing him the pain all those years with him. But I could just tell him I had to have proof that she was bad news. So i decided that i would be stay here on earth
