The elevator doors opened to the terrace, and Aries stepped out. His gaze fell on Milo in Noah’s arms and he walked over to them, taking off his sunglasses. Milo woofed as his eyes stopped at Aries and he jumped off Noah’s arms, running towards him. Aries chuckled, cradling him in his arms, and Milo licked his face as Aries caressed his head. “Oh, my boy!” He laughed and Milo snuggled more into him. “I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you when we initially encountered each other!” FLASHBACK “Sweetheart, no dogs!” Shane said on the phone call. “Please, Dad! I never ask you anything. Please get me a small puppy!” Shane sighed as Veronica made a request. “It’s my birthday!” “You know I’m allergic, sweetie!” “I’ll keep him far away from you!!” Shane drew a deep breath, casting a glance at Aries. “Okay, I’ll call you later and we’ll discuss this. I’m hanging up!” “She wants a puppy!” Shane smiled, glancing up at Aries, who was typing something on his phone. “Anyway, I have a brilliant idea
[MATURE SCENE AHEAD] Sebastian sank into the comfortable lounging chair, enjoying the gentle breeze that carried the salty scent of the ocean as he admired the breathtaking sunset. As his dark eyes stared at the setting sun, a sense of nostalgia washed over him, transporting him back to old memories. Memories of him and Janet walking hand in hand on the beach flooded his mind. “Sebastian, where have you been all morning?” the voice of his agitated mother snapped him back to reality, and he glanced at her seated on the lounge chair beside him. “Is everything alright?” she stared at him. “Yes!” Sebastian averted his eyes. “Anyway, the Sherians are going to be here tomorrow morning for the wedding,” she said, her voice filled with excitement. “I wish your dad and Nina were here today. Your dad wanted to see you getting married.” “To Janet!” Sebastian added and his mother fumed in anger. “Because he didn’t know she was a traitor!” she corrected him, and he responded with a smile. “
“This is Elijah!” Aries introduced the blue-eyed baby. “Your baby?” Veronica gave an amused smile. “I’m his godfather!” Aries corrected her, and Veronica shot up her eyebrows in surprise. “So you brought him here to teach how to keep mistresses?” With a mocking tone, she made a comment that made Aries clench his jaw and narrow his eyes. “You know, your mouth will get you in trouble someday!” Aries handed baby Elijah to Veronica and then proceeded to enter the house. As the tantalizing aroma filled his nostrils, he walked over to the glass table to inspect and he was very pleased when he opened up the lids and saw what was inside. Elijah’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the woman, and his soft hands moved up to cup her cheeks. Veronica’s lips curved into a smile. “Reheat the food. I’ll be back in a minute.” Aries said and moved into his room. Veronica mimicked him, which made the baby Elijah laugh. She made her way into the kitchen, cradling him in her arms. “Would you like to eat
“You hired heiress for the maid! Amazing.” Simon gave an amused smile as Aries signed the last page of the document. “It is because I don’t want to hire any stranger, which may cause a threat to Veronica’s identity. She needs to be kept hidden before I get some news about the file.” Aries said and the look on Simon’s face mocked him. “What?” “Admit it, you were quite jealous witnessing Miss Glazier’s love and affection for Keith when you stayed with them. I clearly remember how her best girlfriend’s role irked you. And now when you got the chance, you wanted everything for yourself.” “Simon, I’ll pay you double if you keep your shitty mouth close!” Aries said and Simon rolled his eyes, taking the file with him. “You could’ve hired someone from the agency and made them sign a non-disclosure agreement. Anyway, your grandma already knows that you’ve shifted to the Grayson villa and she’s wondering why have you kicked out all the servants and guards!” he said. “Why are you not taking h
[MATURE SCENE AHEAD] Veronica made a coffee exactly how Aries liked it after his morning workout and glanced over to see him sitting shirtless on the couch, flipping through the pages of a magazine. “Coffee!” She handed him the warm mug, taking a seat next to him on the plush, long couch. Her gaze temporarily shifted to the article he was perusing, and it was about Isla. “Congratulations!” she said, and Aries looked up at her. “When is the wedding?” She quizzically inquired as she took a sip of her coffee. The underlying fury in her tone didn’t go unnoticed by Aries. “As soon as my grandmother is back!” He smiled warmly and Veronica gave a subtle nod. “So you’ll let me go after the wedding?” she asked. “Where would you go just in case I let you be?” Aries cut her off. “Anywhere! Far away from you and Glazier family and all the bad memories of the past!” she exhaled a deep breath. “You all have given me deep wounds, and it’s enough to spend this life.” Aries drew a deep breath. “
“Woah! So was it all your plan?” A smile stretched on Simon’s face. “Fuck! Why didn’t you tell me? You almost took my breath away with the wedding news last night!” Aries gestured for him to stay quiet as he picked up the call from his grandma. “Aries, I’m so happy! I can’t believe you’ve finally decided to marry!” “Yes, I can’t wait to marry Isla, Grandma! When are you coming back?” Aries sounded excited. “I don’t want to delay this anymore! I think…. I’m in love with Isla!” Simon almost burst out laughing, and Aries glared at him. “Oh, my god! I’ll try to wrap up things soon here and come back. Aries, I’m so happy for you!” His grandmother said. “This is going to be the wedding of the year!” “Come soon, grandma!” Aries said, and they hung up. “So, what’s the next plan in action?” Simon asked, only to earn a smirk from Aries as he poured some whiskey into his glass and took a sip. *** Veronica chose some baggy T-shirts and sweatshirts. “What did he think I’ll wear those skimpy
Maria was looking into an old photo book with a glass of wine and she occasionally took a sip, flipping the pages. A surreal smile spread on her face staring at the picture where Ace, her father, and her sister were laughing over some silly joke of Ace. The next few pages held the memories of her sister’s wedding with Shane and then the baby pictures of Veronica. Meeting Ace after all those years brought all the memories back. Her mother’s death during childbirth, her father’s death because of leukemia, and her sister’s death in an accident. She watched her family members buried in front of her eyes. Shane was there for her always, but Veronica was her only companion. She saved her soul for eighteen years and her life revolved around her. Maria looked around the empty house, and the utter silence was eating her up again. She took a deep breath, throwing her head back in the recliner when she heard the doorbell. “Coming!” she finished her wine and walked to the door. The door slowly
Aries wore a black matte suit and glanced at Veronica next to him in the backseat, and suppressed his smile. She was looking ravishing in a long champagne dress. Her long blonde hair was in a high beautiful bun with curled strands on either side of her face and her lips were covered in dark red. “Your last name is not Silenc-io! Why are you so quiet?” he chuckled, nudging her arm and a frown appeared on Veronica’s face as her smoky eyes turned to him. “Hahaha… very funny!” she laughed and then the next second, her face turned serious. “Because you won’t be able to handle the wrath of Glazier!” Aries gave a ridiculous look. “Woah… wrath is such a big word! Where did you learn?” he asked, and the driver stifled out a chuckle. Veronica gritted her teeth as Aries continued leaning forward. “Anyway, did I mention you’re looking goddess tonight?” he winked and Veronica pushed him back, looking away, and suppressing a smile slowly making its way to her lips. The car slid into the driveway
