Alyssa

I was almost ready the dark blue evening gown fit perfectly hugging my curves in a way that was both elegant and powerful.

I was putting in my diamond earrings when I heard a soft knock on my bedroom door.

"It's open," I called out thinking it was Marcus probably here to tell me the guests were arriving early or that we were running late.

Ugh!

I snapped my head to the side seeing as the person didn’t speak my eyes widening as they landed on his dark orbs.

It was Ares.

He stood there for a moment just looking at me. He was wearing a black tuxedo that made him look even bigger and more handsome than usual.

"You look beautiful," he said his voice low and rough cutting through the silence.

My heart started beating faster. "Thank you," I whispered.

He began to walk the distance between us to where I stood in front of the big mirror I could feel his warmth before he even touched me.

His masculine scent something clean and sharp like soap and the night air filled my senses making m

    AlyssaMy muscles were burning as I pushed the heavy weight again and again none stop liking the pain. It made me forget other things, the stress from work, Damon and Ares. I finished my last set and sat up on the machine breathing hard as sweat dripped down my face.I looked around the gym it was empty I've been coming here for a week always at this time I told myself it was for a good workout but a small stupid part of me hoped to see Ares.He was usually at the gym by 2am... The usual training routine but he no longer showed since the incident. He was avoiding m me at all costs It was so obvious. It made me so angry and desperate.I got up and walked to the water cooler grabbing a bottle of cold water I opened it and started drinking. I gulped it down fast the cold water felt good on my throat and just then the gym door opened and Ares walked in.He was wearing a tight black t-shirt and gym shorts looking so dominating and devishly handsome like always, his eyes roamed around

    AlyssaI stared out the window of my tall office building letting my thoughts run haywire with a lot that has been happening these days.A soft knock on the door broke my quiet moment, fighting back a hiss I mumble a "Come in," not turning around.I heard the door open and close knowing very well it had to be Marcus. "Alyssa," Marcus calls out his tune careful. I didn't like that tone. It usually meant bad news.What now?I finally turned to face him he was standing in front of my big desk holding a file looking nervous."What is it Marcus?" I asked as I walked over and sat in my large leather chair. "Just tell me what now is the problem" He took a deep breath. "It's about Damon's company," he said. "I spoke with them this morning.""And?" I asked my voice sharp. "Do they have my money?"Marcus shifted his weight. "They... they can't pay the debt not right now. They are asking for more time. They are proposing we give them another chance."Another chance.Those two words were like a

    Ares I walked into her home office, finding her lost in thoughts as she stared deeply at the paperwork’s informer of here. It’s been three days since th incident and she hasn’t been able to wrap herself around what had happened, it’s like the adrenaline had faded leaving behind a pale shaken version of Alyssa White. She snapped out of her train of thoughts as her sharp intelligent eyes went straight to my bandage on my arm. She was still worried about me I could see a flicker of something like worry, fear crossed her face before it was replaced by a careful neutral mask. “How’s your arm?,” she asked her tune was quiet. “It’s better,” I replied sounding. “I told you it’s just a graze. It’s been handled.” I stayed by the door refusing to move closer. The space between us felt like a mile-wide canyon. I could still feel the ghost of her body against mine when I pulled her to my arms, her innocent scent. Fuck! I’ve never wanted something so bad yet I couldn’t have it. “The

    Alyssa I waited for him all night but he never showed, I know I shouldn’t be worried about him after our argument, after what he said to me but he took a bullet for me.I could nearly sleep last night my ming kept seeing it. The gun. The man. The loud bang. Ares grunting in pain. The blood on his white shirt.Where was he?He did not come to my room, he did not call me or drop a message that he was fine.Nothing.I was so worried. Was his arm okay? Was the bullet still in there? Did he see a doctor? Was he in a lot of pain? Did he get hurt again after I left.The night felt very long as I watched the clock on my wall. One hour passed. Then two. Then three.

I was cleaning the gunshot wound on my arm It was a deep graze not a clean through-and-through but it still It hurt like hell. The floor was stained with blood as I treat myself. “What happened?” Robert’s thundered as he walked until he was standing right in front of me. I kept dabbing the wound with alcohol not even flinch. “You saw the news… she gave a speech—“He cuts me off “I’m not talking about the damn deal Ares!” he shouted. “I saw the news footage from outside the hotel There was a shooting and my daughter was there, what the hell happened?”I finally looked at him my eyes were cold. “What do you think happened?
