ARES POV

"Maria, you need to come down first."

She glared at me angrily.

"You said you loved my daughter and no one would ever replace her. Why would you marry someone else?"

I remained silent.

"I'm only marrying her because I need her help. My family hasn't given me much of an option right now."

I gestured for her to take a seat.

"I was just leaving, Ares. I just wanted to confirm if the rumors were true. I heard them from my neighbors."

I sighed deeply.

She spared one last g

    FALINE POVKage stared at me in disbelief."I can't believe that you're doing this right now. Faline, this is wrong, and you shouldn't be doing it."I cocked a brow at my naive brother."I don't remember asking for your permission. Kage, besides, Sierra is the one who decided to leave Ares in the first place, which means that he's single."He sighed deeply."He won't even waste his time on you because I believe that he's still in love with Sierra."I applied my lipstick."I can make him forget about Sierra in no time, and he'll be thanking me because he doesn't deserve to be with someone like her."Kage stood up."I'm only telling you this because I care about you, Faline, but I advise you to leave Ares alone. If Sierra finds out that you're going after her man, I have a feeling that she won't hold back."I turned around, facing him."So you think I'm afraid of Sierra?"Kage shrugged carelessly."I wouldn't say scared, but you get intimidated when she's around, and I know what I'm tal

  • The Billionaire's Jewel Thief    Goodbye New york

    SIERRA POV"You can't tell anyone that I'm pregnant, Nash. I haven't even mustered up the courage to tell Dad; he might just freak out."He sighed deeply."Sierra, even if I don't tell him, he'll eventually find out the truth because your pregnancy won't stay hidden forever.""So does your husband know?"I shook my head. "I never got the chance to tell him anything because he was busy yelling at me."He cocked a brow at me."So are you going to tell him?"I shrugged carelessly."Yeah, but not right now. He doesn't even want to see my face; he'll probably think that I'm lying.""Why would you become the most wanted woman in the world?""All of you have always thought that I was a rebel. Even during childhood, I decided that I couldn't trust anyone."He looked hurt."You didn't even trust your own brother?""You had a life unlike me, Nash. You had a good career, a wife, and now you're going to be a father. Where would I fit in with my problems?"He grasped my hand gently."No matter ho

  • The Billionaire's Jewel Thief    Moving in

    SIERRA POVI stood outside, frozen and unable to move. He threw me out of his house in the middle of the night. Maybe this was my karma, especially for what I did to other people.I placed my hand on the door."I'm sorry."I began to walk away, and I couldn't keep the tears at bay. I let out a loud cry. This was all my fault. If I had told him the truth in the first place, none of this would have happened, but I was scared of losing him.I spared one last glance at his house."Goodbye, Ares…"I couldn't go back to Faline or Kage because they'd mock me for following my heart. They'd say falling in love with my enemy led to my downfall, and maybe they were right.I didn't even get the chance to get any of my things. My phone and my clothes were still with Ares, and I doubted he would let me get them. I didn't have many options, but the nearest place to go right now was my father's new apartment, even though I didn't want to see him.It felt like I'd been walking forever, and my feet fel

  • The Billionaire's Jewel Thief    Without you

    **SIERRA POV**I sighed deeply, staring at my reflection in the mirror while touching my flat stomach. Maybe I didn't have to panic; maybe Ares would understand I was just being paranoid for no reason. I never imagined that, at this stage of my life, I would become a mother. In fact, it was one of the things I hadn't given much thought to. I placed the positive pregnancy test on the edge of the bathroom sink. I had so much to think about, but I couldn't make this decision alone because Ares was also responsible. And getting rid of this baby wasn't one of those things.I pulled out my phone and dialed Chloe's number. She would know what to do in this situation since she was already close to delivery. She picked up on the second ring."Sierra, it's been ages since I talked to you! Where the hell have you been?" she snapped, making me frown."Okay, I'm guessing that the pregnancy is making you cranky today." "Anyway, I missed you too."Chloe sighed deeply."What did you do this ti

    SIERRA POVAres kissed me on the cheek."Talitha will be coming here…"I sighed deeply."What for? I really can't stand that woman, and you know that.""If you'd let me finish, you would know the reason why she's coming here in the first place.""She's coming here to collect a few documents with a few people. You won't even know that she's in the house because I told her to behave herself."I nodded quietly."I'll be leaving before she arrives since she's taking a long time to get here. You tell her that the documents are in a few boxes, which are in my study.""Great! Anything else?""Yes, please act decently and don't scare her. The poor woman is still traumatized because of you."I grasped his hand."Come back soon so that we can tell Molly about our relationship. I'm sure that she'll be very happy.""I know, and I'm glad that my daughter has found her mother in you, Sierra. Thank you for accepting both of us."I kissed him on the lips softly.I pulled back, looking into his eyes.

    SIERRA POVAres pulled back."You kissed me."He cocked a brow at me."I believe that both parties were equally involved in this situation."I rolled my eyes at him."You're sober, right? I don't want you to forget about this kiss as well.""I remember what happened on my birthday, Sierra. We acted like drunk teenagers.""Then why were you pretending not to remember anything?""I just didn't want to change things between us. This was supposed to be a contract marriage, but I ended up having feelings for you.""The woman I saw as my enemy.""I'm just glad that you remember everything that happened, Ares.""I could make you relive each memory all over again right now."I looked around the park and felt my cheeks flush."What's wrong?""We are in public; stop saying such things. I want my grumpy Ares back."He cocked a brow at me."What is it now?""You called me yours even without realizing it."He had a smirk curving on his lips.He offered me his hand."Let's go back home, wife."I gr
