Ares povUnconsciously, I circled my fingers around her back, drawing lazy circles. It's already five am in the morning, and she's still very much deep asleep.I smiled to myself and made to pull my arm from under her head, but instead, Valerie wrapped her arms tightly around my waist, pinning me in place. Seems like I was stuck here till when she was ready to wake up.I pulled my phone from under my pillow and almost immediately, Valerie dry heaved and quickly ran out to the bathroom, grabbing the sheets along with her. I panicked and ran after her.She was already doubled over on the toilet seat, emptying her stomach. I pulled her hair up and away from her face and patted her back. When she was done, she rinsed her mouth while I grabbed a towel for her to dry up with.Just as I stood before her, she turned and made to stand, coming face to face with me."Oh my goodness, Ares, you could have at least grabbed clothing!" She scolded me as she turned away, her face flushed."I was worri

Ares povThe meeting room was suffused with the glow of the large projection screen, casting a blue hue across the faces of the foreign investors and board members.My face remained grim and stoic as I sat at the head of the table, absorbing the detailed financial projections and stock market discussions that flowed around me.At least my company has been on a higher rise since!The room was filled with the low hum of serious conversation.The foreign investors spoke with a mix of enthusiasm and caution, their accents lending an international flavour to the proceedings.It was quite annoying heading up to five to six different accents you know!Charts and graphs flickered on the screen, showing the company's performance over the past quarter.“Our market share has seen a steady increase in the Asian sector,” one of the directors pointed out, his voice steady but urgent. “However, we must address the dip in the European markets. Mr Ares, your thoughts?”I nodded, my expression unchangi

Ares povThe sun was setting, casting long shadows across the deserted road. I parked the car just opposite the foster home, its worn facade bathed in the orange glow of the evening light.It had a homey feeling no doubt about it.The air was thick with the scent of pines. Valerie sat beside him, her face softened by the dimming light, her attention solely on the small boy in the backseat.I watched as Valerie adjusted Alex’s jacket, her hands moving with a gentleness that tugged at something deep within me.She'll make such a great mother no doubt about it. For a moment, the world outside seemed to blur, leaving only the tender scene before me. The past nineteen hours had been crazy yet somehow, Alex had found a safe harbour in Valerie. The little boy clung to her hand from the back seat, his eyes wide and trusting."We need to get him back," Ares murmured, his voice barely more than a whisper. Valerie nodded, her gaze lingering on Alex a moment longer before she turned to me.The fo

Ares povSitting at my desk, I couldn’t help but smile. The office was quiet, a stark contrast to the usual bustling energy that surrounded the turnaround firm I owned. It was a sanctuary of sorts, where I could immerse myself in the relentless pursuit of saving struggling companies.Today, however was different as my thoughts were far from the chaos of balance sheets and rescue plans. I held a newly framed photo of Valerie, my heart swelling with an emotion I never thought I’d feel again: love.I'm really surprised I could actually still fall in love after what happened before. I don't even want to be reminded again.Valerie had entered my life unexpectedly, turning my world upside down in the best possible way.Firstly she was just a pawn in my game but now I got to say, she'd be my end. The photograph captured her essence perfectly — her radiant smile, the way her eyes seemed to hold a universe of warmth and compassion.I still couldn't believe how quickly I had fallen for her, but

Valerie's povEach time I visited Alpha Allen's house, I couldn't help but notice how much nicer he seemed to get. It was as if he was making a concerted effort to win me over, and I had to admit, it was working. The kindness and warmth he showed were a stark contrast to the stories Ares had told me about their strained relationship.The next day, I found myself standing at the grand entrance of Alpha Allen's estate once again. The sun was shining, casting a golden hue over the lush gardens that surrounded the mansion. As I approached the door, a sense of anticipation and determination settled over me. Today we would be talking about how Ares might want to help him though it'll e extremely hard for him to even hear his father out for a second time.The servants greeted me with smiles and respectful bows, their demeanor as welcoming as ever. It was clear they had been instructed to treat me with the utmost care and consideration. I couldn't help but feel a bit flattered, though I knew i
