"Did they notify the authorities?"
"They haven't arrived yet, but I'm sure they will in an hour. The press is on its way. We must arrive before they do." While his gaze was fixed on the road, Liam responded.
They're tearing down the West Coast roadway toward the Capitol. The road was fogged in, and the only light guiding them came from the car's headlight. Liam collided with a deer not long ago, but they didn't have time to stop the vehicle.
Ares received a phone call informing him that one of the attendees at yesterday's conference was assassinated inside his library by an unknown assailant.
After almost an hour of traveling, they arrive at the front yard of the Capitol's grandest residence.
It is situated on the southernmost hill of the city's most exclusive suburb, where its affluent families reside.
Ares and Liam exited the vehicle and walked directly through the gates

"Ares, I'd want to sit next to Luna! You've got your own seat!"Chiara was pouting in front of Ares, stomping her feet and pointing to the empty sofa directly in front of the guy. She was enraged.

He claims that traveling in a group on a private plane is significantly safer.Chiara wishes to sit next to Luna, but the instant they enter the aircraft, Ares pushes his cousin to the other side and takes the seat next to the lady, who is now in shock.Luna couldn't help giggling.

Luna shifted her weight from one side of the bed to the other. Her mood has been tense since they landed on the island. She got a feeling he had never been here before, and she wondered if he had. But did she really not? But if she had already been here, what would she does on this private island?Luna was irritated, so she messed up her hair and stood up. They are staying in a large villa, everyone with their own room. Chiara stands next to her door while Ares stands across from her.She wondered if Ares was still awake. She carefully rose from her bed and walked to the glass door on the terrace, which overlooked the peaceful beach. While her gaze was focused on the void, one of her hands caressed the bracelet Ares had given her.She cracked a grin. It seems basic, yet it looks and feels quite exquisite on her wrist.

Luna was humming as she brushed her hair in front of the mirror. Even her eyes were sparkling since she had awoken this morning without having had a terrible dream the night before. Perhaps it was because she was exhausted from their journey the day before that she fell asleep comfortably the minute she lay down in bed last night.Last night? Her hands stopped combing her hair, and she looked directly to her eyes in the mirror after she realized what had happened the previous night."Ugh! God, Luna, what are you doing!"She sagged to the bed and hid her face, embarrassed by the notion. Her blood was heating up to her cheekbones! She can still feel it! Ares's warm hands massaging her exposed breast, down to her—"Oh my goodness! Please, stop! Please, stop!"She stomped her feet in the air while biting her lower lip. Her recollections are vivid as if they were being recorded.

Ares' face could not be painted on the dining room table. After giving a disgusted reaction to how Chiara called Luna, he walked out of the room. And until they arrived at the restaurant he had reserved for dinner, he never spoke to them even a single word."Someone is jealous," Liam whispered teasingly while playing with the glass of wine in front of its face.It made Chiara frown, glaring at her cousins while cleaning the table knife with the napkin.The food soon arrived, and Luna was still irritated that Ares didn't even notice her, as if her all existence was transparent to his eyes. She kept peeking to her left side, hoping that somehow their eyes could at least meet. But disappointingly, the man didn't even give her a damn.The atmosphere was silent.
