Eros POVThe wedding party was finally over as I could see the guests making their way to their various vehicles. I was about to search for Dalia so we could go home but Mr. Thompson stopped me halfway. There was no way I could ignore my father-in-law in public. So I stayed back.“You tied the knot with my daughter, I am happy now.” He gave me a small smile and I nodded in agreement. I tied the knot in bed… jeez. I refused to let my embarrassment show. How am I supposed to face him? Our relationship hasn’t been perfect from the start. He has seen my family flaws and I have seen his. I may not know much about him but from the little I have seen, he loves his daughter so much. It was in his small gestures and the way he gazed softly when he thought she wasn’t looking.It was cute. However, I don’t wish for him to associate with my family. They may look like they’ve gotten past the conflict stage but I still don’t like the fact that he was quickly accepted after one night. Steve hasn’t b

Eros POV"You ditched me," I teased mercilessly as soon as I picked the call. Her surprised gasp showed me she was playing along. I didn't see her at the wedding but I knew she was there somehow."I had to take Mrs. Lacoste away. She was asking too many questions." She sighed in exasperation."You didn't want me to know all about that, right? Tell me something. When did you have a brewery company under your name?" It long piqued my interest and I wasn't going to let her off the hook just like that."I do now. She is actually interested in my business. Unlike someone I know." I could hear the smile in her voice.I rolled my eyes, aware she can't see me. "I don't want to ask because I can't picture you behind a desk.. just do what you can to get your inheritance back. I don't want to see you working your ass out when your father can make things fall in place for you.""That's rich coming from you. You worked your ass out to get to where you are."Maybe she is right. Maybe I worked my as

Dalia's POv A week later, "Can you raise your hands?" I did as Dr. Ryan requested. I think I am going to be discharged today. Beside me sat Eros and Emily. They all had expectant looks on their faces. They all wanted me to go home. "You are good to go. Don't hesitate to alert us if you feel pain anywhere. Eros won't let me off the hook.." Dr. Ryan trailed with a nervous smile. All these while he was avoiding Eros' intense gaze. Now I see the bruises clearly. He has been hiding his face from me under dark sunglasses. Apparently, the dimmed lights were for him and not for me. I saw it a day after the first visit. Now he is putting on another dark shade. Jeez… it's unsettling to see him under that shade. What the hell happened to his eyes? Emily has refused to tell me no matter how I whined. "You know, you could ask instead of staring." I turned to find Eros obviously glaring at me from under there. Is there som

Nick's POVThe black car was packed inconspicuously by the hotel. It blended well with the environment. It slid open as soon as I got closer."God damn it! Where is my phone?" I asked myself, searching my pockets to no avail. Unfortunately Eros had me surrounded with his guards. The big one especially.Luckily, I had backup. I always do. All I needed to do was to give a little incentive to the nurse for all her hard work. And here I am glaring at Betty.She came to the rescue just when I needed her the most. Our agreement wasn't finished. I owed her and she owed me. We both had things to settle."Why are you getting yourself involved with Eros?!" Betty screamed in panic. Her eyes darted here and there and I could see why. She was terrified. She doesn't want Eros to see them together. "I told you to take Dalia away from him.. not in his presence! Do you even love her?!"I scoffed in mockery. She is one to speak. I hate hypocrites and she is starting to act like one. "You are acting rid

Dalia's POv Eros rubbed through his hair in obvious frustration. He turned to Dimitri with blazing eyes. "How did it happen?" "It was one of the nurses." Dimitri curtly replied. There was no need to explain what really happened. She must have accepted the bribe. Eros will have to deal with her later. The rat.. But that was the least of my problems. With Nick on the loose, who knows what he might do next? I don't even want to think about it. Athena gave Eros a degrading smile and I knew what was about to come out of her mouth was something unpleasant. "Interesting. Can we go home now? I think the pity party is over." She gives Emily a cruel smile to which she rolled her eyes to. "Let's go home shall we?" Gaia gives her children a knowing look and I wondered what they have plotted for me this time around. Before I could say Jack, I was dragged to my feet and pushed through the hospital doors. To my dismay, Eros stayed a few m
