Mariana Adams' Point of View As was our custom, Ares and I were traveling in the same automobile. He was guiding me closer to him while I inched closer to him and listened to every explanation he had. He was holding my hand. He gave me no explanation for why he consented to take me along with him, but we went ahead and did it anyway. Not to mention the fact that Damien warned him that coming there would put his life in risk. He didn't even want to bring Victoria along, but she started throwing a fit, so he gave in."Make sure you stay in the playroom at all times, Mariana. It's not a good idea to wander about all by oneself like that. People can mistake you for an invader if they see you." He remarked. "I barely allowed someone in. You are the very first person for whom I will make an exception and allow you to proceed directly." My normally round eyes suddenly became rather wide. "R-Really? Is the location of your headquarters as secluded as I had envisioned it to be?"Ares let out

Mariana Adams' Point of View It was very strenuous. The fact that Ares' playing skill was suddenly changed to something else caused my mouth to drop open. Over the entirety of the first round that they were playing, he had five consecutive turns, whereas Lorenzo did not have a turn at that period. You could tell that there had been some changes made to Ares' gameplay.My mouth opened slightly, and I let out a squeak. My expression clearly conveyed my level of fascination.Everyone else was grinning to themselves and staring blankly ahead, just like I was, while Lorenzo continued to be the only one who was losing points and had a remote chance of participating in the game. Despite this, I couldn't help but scowl anytime I caught a glimpse of Ares smirking at me when he was putting balls in the hole.Ares was acting in an arrogant manner. The grin that was plastered all over his face remained intact. It is the moment when Ares decided not to let Lorenzo play for the entirety of the sec

Mariana Adams' Point of ViewIllegal. That's the first thought that popped to my mind. He's illegal… and everything he does are. Nonetheless, I was drawn to his oblivion and unfortunately, a mere woman who like me couldn't unleash the tight grip he has around my neck. I was told that we'll spend the night here and Ares was now sleeping on the sofa soundly. I bit my lower lip as my gut feeling indulged me to go out, unaware of the reason why I did that. Gradually, the door creaked when I pulled it in a slow and gentle way. I went out as the massive space of the hallway greeted me. Sure, Ares' office is huge and I didn't expect that. However, what made my jaw drop even more was the living room at the end of this hallway and the tall inches after one door. I believe that each room and door I past along with has a huge wide space inside. I'm sure of that. Their headquarters was high maintenance, so it's a bit reasonable to find a maid or something but my eyes didn't get one. When I pa

Mariana Adams’ Point of View Finding common ground with Beth was like checking off a prize on a lottery ticket for me. It just so happened that I walked into the kitchen at the same time as she and Frida were standing there, and I noticed them both there. Ares and his men delivered me to the estate as we had agreed, so that I could spend some time in this location.The size of Beth's smile broadened as she watched me enter the building. It was at that moment when Frida turned her attention to me."May I ask how you are doing, Miss Mariana? You've gotten pretty!" Which caused me to redden my cheeks when Beth said it.I answered, "It doesn't seem likely to me. Things here are giving me a lot of anxiety!"Frida let out a chuckle. "Since you are still getting used to being in this kind of setting, it is reasonable that you might feel this way. I'm relieved to hear that, at the very least, you're making an effort to adapt."After listening to what she had to say, I responded by nodding my

Mariana Adams’ Point of View The ardent kisses of Ares prompted my body to respond in an unexpected way. My body tingles in response to each touch that he gives me. His calloused palms began to gently caress the final layer of my dress before he started to lift it up using his fingers while his nostrils were facing my cheeks. He continued this motion all the way down my neck until it reached the base of my neck.“Ares…” I whispered his name several times. "I can't believe how well you're able to make my poor flower slobber, can you?" I mumbled as the apple-red color started to spread across my cheeks.He puckered his lips and then made the first move to remove my dress. When he spotted me wearing a strapless bra, his eyebrows immediately arched, which upraised a question that was about to be asked."What the hell do you call anything like this?" Ares whispered something.It made me chuckle. "Ares, this is a bra without any straps. Since I'm wearing a dress, I don't think it's appropr
