Summer stared at the picture of her full grown son. Hers and Ares's flesh and blood. He had Ares's intense grey eyes that she loved so much. He is so incredibly gorgeous.
Ares looked at Summer. "Are you ready?" he asked.
She smiled. She had been ready for 20 years. Her heart ached when she had to leave him behind. She knew he'd probably hate her for leaving in the first place, but it was time to face him and explain everything.
Noah looked at Alex intently. Why was he freaking out over a painting?"It was a gift from someone," he told Alex."Gift from whom?" Alex asked. His voice suddenly turning cold."What's the big deal? I thought you said there was an emergenc
"Go away," Noah barked as soon as he felt Serena's presence in the room."I never was good at listening to people," she said and stood in front of him. She looked closely at Noah's face. His eyes were dark, and he looked absolutely devastated."Why do people love to mess with my life so much? You, and even my own parents..."
"You must think I am dirty now, don't you. I let those men use me. I didn't even fight back. I guess I was a whore even then." Serena looked at Noah with teary eyes.Noah flipped her over and pushed her back against the bed, then leaned forward and brushed his lips on hers. He inhaled her breath and felt the warmth of her skin as he stroked her body. She tastes so good, he thought.She hungrily kissed him back, her mouth opened
"What do you mean? Why did you say that?" Serena was stunned. She never imagined those words would come out of Noah's mouth."I heard you clearly when you said you loved me the other day. When I was eating breakfast. I just pretended like I didn't. I thought if I could ignore it, my own feelings would go away," he tightened his arms around her and kissed her wet cheek."You love me?" her voice shook.
Serena told Summer everything. She was tired of harboring this secret and dealing with Shane. She already told Noah, so she might as well tell Summer."My poor girl. I know exactly how it feels to be abused by someone close to you," Summer shook her head.Serena's eyes turned wide. "Wait...does Ares..."
"Do we really have to go?" Noah groaned.They were getting ready to go to Serena's parent's house for dinner. Along with Noah's parents as promised."Yes, we do. They are our parents. If anything, let's go because of my mom. She's very excited about this. We can't let her down!" Serena said.
Serena jolted as she heard Shane's name. Noah tightened his hand on hers and gently squeezed it to let her know he was here."What about him?" she asked."We know something is going on between you and Shane. It would be best if you tell us what it is," Alex interjected.
Serena watched him closely as he drank. She made sure every drop entered his mouth. Gosh...he is so stupid. How could he trust her so easily? His arrogance must've made him too blind to see how much she hated him.It doesn't matter, she thought. It only made her job easier."Why aren't you naked already?" he looked at her in a daze. His eyes were already spacing out as if he was drunk.
