“I don’t understand what sort of psychotic fun you find in torturing her. You still haven’t told her the truth and confessed your actions?” Ace sank into his chair, disappointed. “Why did you go to Sweden behind her?” “Dad, I’m not ready! Ever since they told me about my latest reports. I’m skeptical about coming clean.” Aries looked into his eyes as he answered. “Does it give me joy when she stares at me with her vitriolic gaze?” He arched an eyebrow. “I’m not in the right set of mind! Thinking about my future is eating me up. How am I gonna sum up everything?” “Let’s wait for the doctor. This is not the end of the world.” Ace said as they waited for the doctor. “But one thing I want to assure you,” He put his hand on Aries’s shoulder. “We will not support any of your absurd decisions from now onwards.” Aries stared at him. “Let me check on the doctor. What’s taking him so long?” Aries watched his father leave, and he scoffed. “Everyone thinks I enjoy making Veronica suffer. But th

“Chase,” Veronica looked for him under the bed while he was riding on Milo’s back just in his diapers and blowing raspberries as the latter sauntered into Aries’s room. Chase’s eyes lightened up at the sight of him sleeping peacefully. “Woo,” He stretched his hand in his direction and Milo took him to the bed. He carefully held the edge of the bed with his tiny hands and Milo supported him to crawl onto the bed, and with a loud giggle, he reached to Aries on his fours on the other side of the bed. Veronica checks Chase’s playroom. “Where did he go?” She rushed out and glanced down at the servants from the staircase. “Where is Chase?” They looked back at her blankly. “Don’t look at me! Check everywhere!” She said in a high pitch and then sprinted off to the room at the end of the hallway and stopped at the door of Aries’s room. Her eyes stopped at Chase, who was holding the edge of the wooden headrest. Aries’s head was between Chase’s legs and the former was sleeping peacefully. “

Inside the farmhouse, Aries sent Claudia’s picture to Simon, who was chilling at Noah’s place. “Investigate the background of this woman. Put our investigator into action. Three hours!” His eyes shifted away from his phone to Veronica and Keith, their laughter tickling his ears as they conversed in the kitchen. Elijah sidled up to Aries, and the latter pulled him close, cradling his arm around him. Chase’s eyes widened when he saw them, and he immediately raced towards Aries. “My dady!” Chase repeated what Elijah said to him every time he was close to Keith, and he quickly wriggled Aries’s arm from his shoulder, grunting. “Easy, buddy!” Aries caressed Chase’s back and his focus drifted back to Elijah. “Hey, what’s wrong?” “Chase has got mom and dad. But I’m still alone! Why?” Elijah glanced at Aries with a sorrowful stare, seeking answers. “Grandma said Veronica would marry Daddy, but last night, he said it’s impossible because you’re back! Why did you come back, Uncle Aries?” He

Aries dodged her attack. Aiden hit her wrist with his foot and the gun fell from her hands as he forcefully clutched her arms behind her. Chase stifled out a loud cry as he watched all the action and tried to come out of the grave. “Aidy!” He tried to reach out to Aiden. She laughed. “You can’t do anything! You have nothing against me! You may save him today, but it doesn’t end here. Soon he’ll be big enough to step out of your protected premises and then who will save him from me, huh?” Aries had a sardonic smile on his face as he picked up her gun. “Aiden, take Chase and go inside.” Aiden leaves her, and she watches him taking Chase out and walking inside when Aries clears his throat. “Simon was right when he said you’re a bit off.” Claudia glared at him. “You faked your identity to get into the house. All your partners in crime are taken into custody and must be recording their statements. But let’s not forget how smartly you put everyone into a deep sleep and destroyed all the

“What?” Cara was startled and her eyes widened in surprise as she faced him. “What do you mean?” Aries cocked an eyebrow. “How dare you raise your voice at me?” His fierce glare made Veronica freeze, and she couldn’t help but stare back at him, feeling numb. Aries looked around himself, taking in the sights of his surroundings. “This is not my suite. Where am I?” His eyes rested on her. “Aries, just fucking stop joking!” She reprimanded him. “I will kill you!” “I’m telling you for the very last time, don’t raise your voice at me!” His eyes darted around the room in search of something, finally coming to rest on his wallet perched atop the nightstand. With a swift motion, he reached out to it. “You want money?” His raised eyebrow elicited a response from Veronica as she parted her lips. Her forehead was covered in a cold sweat as she realized that this was happening much sooner than she had anticipated. “What the hell are you doing?” Her heart was beating so hard that she could fee
