تسجيل الدخولKAMARI POVThey say I have my mother’s eyes.I used to love that.Now… I’m not so sure.Because when I look in the mirror, I don’t just see her beauty I see everything she went through. The pain. The strength. The survival.And sometimes, late at night when everything is quiet, I wonder if I’m destined to inherit more than just her eyes.Maybe her story too.“Kamari! We’re leaving in five!”Grant's voice echoed from downstairs, sharp and impatient as ever.I exhaled slowly, smoothing down my dress as I gave my reflection one last look.Blue silk. Elegant, but not loud.Hair falling naturally over my shoulders.Composed.That’s what was expected of me.Daughter of Ares and Sierra Vincenzo.There was a weight that came with that name. A quiet expectation to be strong, unshaken… untouchable.I grabbed my clutch and headed downstairs.Grant was leaning against the wall, scrolling through his phone, but the moment he saw me, he paused.His eyes scanned me from head to toe, and then he smir
ARES POVPeople think love is loud.That it’s in grand gestures, expensive gifts, and dramatic confessions.But they’re wrong.Love… is quiet.It’s in the way Sierra still reaches for me in her sleep, even after everything we’ve been through.It’s in the way I still check if she’s breathing every single night.Even now.Especially now.The garden was alive with laughter.Kamari ran past me, her little giggles echoing through the air, while Xavier chased after her like his life depended on it. The sun dipped low in the sky, painting everything gold warm, soft… peaceful.Grant had to spend time with Ella.I truly admired young love.Sierra stood a few steps away, watching them.Alive.Here.With me.I walked over and slipped my hand into hers. She didn’t look at me immediately she just smiled, like she already knew it was me.“You’re staring again,” she said softly.“I almost lost you,” I replied.That truth would never change.Her fingers tightened around mine.“But you didn’t,” she wh
ARES POVSierra was slowly fading away, and I was on the verge of losing everything because of this crazy bitch. I was shocked to learn that Kage had joined forces with Eliana's twin sister.He was part of this mess, and it was going to cost someone's life.Aliana shrugged carelessly."Oh well, what's the point of pretending since the cat is out of the bag?" she muttered quietly.She sighed softly, playing with the knife in her hand."Ares is right; I'm the person who murdered Faline. Besides, you should be thanking me for getting rid of her; she was a pain in the ass."Her blue eyes sparked, and she chuckled softly."I enjoyed stabbing her to death, and I would do it again in a heartbeat."Kage looked pale, as if he had seen a ghost, and suddenly his expression changed to rage.Welcome to the club, Kage."You fucking used me!" he yelled angrily, clenching both of his fists.Aliana giggled and smirked at him."Yes, I used you. And since you've served your purpose, I'd be happy to give
**SIERRA POV**Eliana grabbed me by the hair, yanking it hard. She held a knife against my neck, and the blade was close enough to draw blood.My eyes widened in fear, and she smirked in response."Sierra Nevada, you should have stayed away from Ares when I gave you the chance...""But no, you couldn't keep your hands to yourself, and two years later, you went back to my husband again."I frowned at her."Ares is not your husband."She stared at me in disbelief, pressing the knife a little too hard until I winced."Don't talk back to me.""I can easily end your miserable life right now, and your dear Ares won't find out about anything."I swallowed hard.Maybe I could negotiate something with her."Eliana, please put down the knife."She scoffed in annoyance."Oh, so now you can beg?""You should have thought about the consequences of sleeping with Ares."I felt the air leave my lungs."You—you saw us?" I stammered."Of course I did. I watched him fuck you and secretly wished that I w
**SIERRA POV**Dad and Ares were out on the patio drinking beers while chatting about something, and I never thought that I'd come across such a rare sight.I leaned against the doorway watching them and kept an eye on Grant and Kamari because they were playing in the garden.I decided to join them and sat beside Ares, and he grasped my hand immediately."Umm, Dad?" He looked up, meeting my gaze."What do I feel like you're about to ask me for a favor?" he asked curiously.I rolled my eyes at him."Fine, you got me, but it's a bit urgent, and since you're my father, you don't have much of a choice."He groaned deeply."Okay, what is it?" "Ares and I were thinking about going on a short trip. Well, it's more like an early honeymoon."He narrowed his eyes at Ares."Don't look at him like that. Ares has nothing to do with this; besides, this was all my idea."He nodded quietly."So when are you planning on going?""Tomorrow morning, since we need to explain a few things to the kids.""
ELIANA POVAfter confirming that Ares and Sierra were yet again back together, I decided to head back to New York to make plans on how to get rid of that gold digger once and for all.The man in front of me didn't seem fazed by my presence, and I'm glad he agreed to meet me.He took a sip of his coffee."What the hell happened to you?" he asked curiously.I stared at my cast."I had an accident, but that's not the reason I called you here.""Why did you ask me to meet you here?" he asked curiously.I smiled at him and sipped my own coffee.I placed my cup back on the table, meeting his gaze."Well, you and I share one common enemy from different perspectives."He cocked a brow at me."Just get on with it."I sighed softly and rolled my eyes at him. So much for my suspense."A little birdie told me that you came back to New York to search for your sister's killer."He narrowed his eyes at me, and I gave myself a pat on the back because I had his full attention."I know something about
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
**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
ARES POV"You shouldn't be smoking at all. Hasn't anyone ever told you that it's bad for your health?"She sighed softly, creating some distance between us. I took a step back, realizing that I had crossed my boundary.She had her back turned to me."You still haven't told me why you're smoking, Si
ARES POVLeena kissed me on the cheek."Hi Ares, where's your new girlfriend?" "She went to get something to drink."She sighed softly."It's a shame because I really wanted to meet her." I smiled at her."Don't worry, you'll meet her soon." "I wouldn't be so excited about meeting her, Leena, be
