Seduce him

FALINE POVWhen I thought that all hope was lost, the person I was least expecting to see saved my life.Ares appeared out of nowhere and began beating up the man who wanted to kill me."Be careful; he has a knife!" I yelled, still trembling.Ares punched the man, and he dropped his knife to the ground. His hand was bleeding slightly, but it wasn't enough to get him down or even slow him down. He picked up the knife again, but Ares kicked him before he could throw it."What is your problem?!" Ares shouted, clearly angry. The man just stood there, not saying anything. "You are a murderer! You are nothing!"The man said nothing. It was like Ares had turned into a monster. A monster that no one knew how to deal with, and I was scared. Scared of the person who attacked me. I took several steps towards Ares, but he quickly turned around. He glared at me as if I tried to approach him; he'd kill me.Just then, security appeared, placing handcuffs on the man who was stalking me."You saved my

The third wife

FALINE POVI stood in the mirror naked, staring at my reflection. I wore my gloves, and I took a blade, running it over my skin to make it look like Ares physically abused me. The blood slowly started pouring down, and it seemed like something was dripping from me onto the floor, but when I looked up, there was nothing on the floor but empty air. My hands started trembling as I ran them through my hair to try and stop myself from crying. I scratched myself, adding ugly lines to my flesh to make it look like Ares had been rough with me.I looked in the mirror and gave myself a black eye by punching myself hard enough that a bruise formed on the right side of my face. It would be visible for weeks, but hopefully, nobody would notice it since it was just a light bruise. I looked into the bathroom sink again, hoping that there was a way I could add blood.I left the bathroom and went back to join Ares in bed, who was wearing nothing but his black briefs. I ran my hands over his body, scr

Fake friend

ARES POV I stared at my father in disbelief."You can't be serious?""I am not going to marry that woman."Of course, he chose to ignore me in this situation."It's the only way we can save the company's good name and reputation, and aside from that, we saved your ass from going to prison.” "I am innocent, and this woman is framing me. She must have planned everything in advance." "Do I need to hit you again to shut you up?!" My father and I stood face to face, and we both glared at each other."You can hit me, Nathan," I muttered, calling him by his first name.He scoffed in annoyance."If you're going to hit me, then I won't hesitate to do the same thing—I’ll stop holding back." He chuckled softly."So you were holding back?" he taunted."Did you hear that, Leena? Your brother wants to hit his own father." I could feel Leena tugging at my shirt, trying to separate me from Nathan."Ares, stop it! People are watching, and we are still on hospital grounds. If people start taking

The tea party

**ARES POV**I heard the doorbell ringing, and Molly went to open the door."Grandpa!"I moved aside.He walked in, smiling at me, but his smile disappeared when he saw me."Nathan—I mean Father, please come in."He gave me a stern nod and walked past me.Molly was always an expert at putting people in tough situations.We all sat at the dining table, and my father and I didn't utter a word to each other."Okay, since none of you are willing to be the bigger person, I'll tell you why I invited you here, Grandpa.""I heard that you and Dad had a big fight and that you're not even talking to each other. Is that true?"Nathan nodded quietly."Yes, we had a big fight, honey, but aren't you wondering who caused the fight?" he asked curiously."Your father started this fight because he never listens to me.""He acts like a kid when he's angry."He sighed deeply.He was trying to turn the tables on me even though we were both guilty."I don't care about who started the fight, but the both of

Divorce papers

FALINE POVA wicked smile curved my lips. I'm sure that the cops must have already arrived at Sierra's house by now; she must be more dazed than ever.Her reaction itself must be priceless."You have that weird look on your face again. What did you do?" Kage asked curiously."Ah, you're truly my brother; you know me too well.""You're right, I've done something, but you won't like it if I tell you.""We would have been celebrating together.""You know that I planned on getting rid of Sierra?"He nodded quietly and sat beside me."Well, I called the cops on her and spilled the beans.""I reported all her crimes and gave the police her new address. I'm sure that she must be in the women's prison by now."I chuckled softly.Kage stared at me, clearly mortified."You got her arrested?" I nodded eagerly."Isn't it great?!""She's finally out of our lives forever, and she's also paying for her crimes at the same time.""Faline, how could you do that to her?"I rolled my eyes at him."Oh, s

Alone

FALINE POV"He doesn't care about you, Sierra. I told you not to fall in love with that man; he just used you."I wiped her tears away."How did he even know that you were here?"I shrugged carelessly."I'm sure that he sent someone to spy on me, Sierra.""How could Ares ruin my life? I know that I made a mistake by lying to him, but this isn't the way to punish me.""Sierra, he's not a good guy. Just divorce him before he finds out that you're pregnant with his child.""If Ares really cared about you or the baby you're carrying in your womb, he wouldn't have divorced you.""I can't believe that he signed the divorce papers.""So what are you going to do now?"She sighed softly."I'll give him what he's asking for. If he wants to divorce me so badly, then I'll sign the damn papers."I handed her a pen.Sierra picked up the papers and scribbled her signature on them."When you go back to New York, give them to him and tell him that I never want to see his face again."I nodded sadly."

Voicemail

FALINE POVAres was in the shower, and he had left his cell phone unattended. I picked it up when it showed an incoming voicemail. I played the voicemail and discovered that it was none other than Sierra. She was still alive; it only meant that my plan was a flop. She wanted Ares to save her, but he was never going to hear from her ever again, and I would make sure of it.I deleted the voicemail and placed the phone on the table where I found it so that Ares wouldn't suspect a single thing.A few minutes later, he came out of the shower, and I couldn't help but drool over his muscular body.His towel loosely hung around his hips as if it would fall to the ground any second.He narrowed his eyes at me."What are you doing in my bedroom?" he asked curiously.He opened his closet and took a few clothes."I wanted to make sure that you don't run away because tomorrow is the day of our wedding.""I'm not a coward, and I'm only marrying you because my family hasn't given me a choice."He tu

The plane crash

**SIERRA POV**He pulled away, staring deeply into my eyes, and I saw my whole world in him once more. He wasn't the man Faline had described; he wasn't the monster she claimed him to be.He was still my Ares.I cupped both of his cheeks."I thought you hated me forever, and I thought you would never forgive me for keeping the truth from you."We both sat down."I won't blame you, Sierra, and you're not the reason why I lost Eliana. You weren't the one driving that car."He sighed deeply."I should have given you a chance to explain yourself, but I was blinded by anger, and Talitha just made it worse when I learned the truth from her.""I wanted to tell you the truth, Ares, especially when I found out that Eliana was the same woman who saved my life and gave it purpose.""But I was scared because I didn't want to lose you in the process, and I knew that you would be heartbroken when you eventually learned the bitter truth."He grasped both of my hands."Let's keep those bitter memorie

Sabotage

SIERRA POVAres can't be dead.I slumped to my knees weakly, and Nash caught me before I could hit the ground."Sierra, be careful," he muttered while still holding on to me.One of the security guards brought me a chair and a glass of water.My father handed it to me. "Drink this, honey."I slowly drank the water."This news is fake."Tears rolled down my cheeks as I choked on a sob, trying to control myself.I shook my head in disbelief."Ares can't be dead."Dad grasped both of my hands."Honey, it happened last night, and the news is all over. I didn't find any survivors."His words only made me cry harder, and the mere thought of never seeing Ares broke me to the core."He promised to come back; he can't be dead. I'm sure that he's out there, hurt, and he needs me."Dad placed a gentle kiss on my forehead."I'm sorry, honey."Nash offered me his hand, and instead of grasping it, I hugged him tightly, and he held me."We'll look for him, Sierra; I promise.""Nash, you shouldn't g

Grant is born

NATHAN POVMy statement only made the women in the family cry harder."I wasn't done talking.""They found Ares's ID and passport in the pocket of that body.""Ares isn't dead, but he's in the hospital fighting for his life in a private hospital.""His face was badly burned and he'll need to undergo surgery.""This news is not going to leave this house until I find out who wanted to kill my son."My gaze lingered on Faline and her brother."Everyone else is going to think that my son is dead, and we are going to have a fake funeral.""Nathan, isn't that extreme?" My wife finally asked."Our son is fighting for his life in the hospital. We can't go around lying that he's dead.""I'm sorry, honey, but this is for his own good. I already lost my son once, and I'm not going to lose him again."I started working hard so that we could have a better life, and then when we had Ares, but I never had time for him because I was always trying to build up my empire. After that, we adopted Leena as
