Leilani stared at him like he had gone insane. Clearing her throat, she started, "Look, the doctor said you might have sustained a concussion from hitting your head"Aries didn't blink or say a word as she finished, "You are serious?" her eyes widened. "Why on earth would you want to marry me"His brows gathered in a frown. She obviously couldn't see his face at the moment as they wrapped it like a ball with bandages and so she blabbed on and on. His mouth hurt too much to speak.She seemed to have a panic attack and so his eyes followed her, pacing back and forth around the hospital room. As it was the only part of his body that he could move at the moment and wasn't in a cast.Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down taking her sit on a seat opposite his bed. "Who did this to you?" Her voice was calm and composed as she focused on him. "Some girls," he struggled to speak because every time he did, it felt like needles were compressing his rib cage. "Some girls can't get away
They popped open the champagne in their VIP private room. Viana poured them each a drink along with their special guest. The male stripers moved seductively, and she watched them along with Army before making a toast."A toast on the death of our favorite Pet." Army sighed, drinking her glass in one go "I already miss him"Samantha took a long drag from her vape. "aren't you underage to be drinking?"Army eyed her from head to toe, drinking, "Aren't you too dumb to be talking?"Samantha rolled her eyes, falling onto the soft sofa as Georgina's angry heels walked into the private room. The music was unnecessarily loud.She paused the music. "Get out!" she screamed at the male stripers, and they scrambled out.Viana glared at her. So did Army, "Your celebrating?" Georgina huffed in annoyance. Army took a long drag of her cigar "Yes?""Did you see his dead body or a funeral anywhere? My career is on the line and you are partying?"Viana swore, throwing her cigar violently. "He is dead
It has been exactly one month, three weeks, and five days since Leilani left. He missed her. It's like he didn't remember how sad and boring his life had been until she left. The air was perfect; the sky was Seren, the green grass and concrete matched in harmony. He breath in deeply the salty sea water the view was to die for."Are you even listening?" his therapist groaned in frustration. Dennis, an old man in his late fifties he was guessing, stared at him above the rim of his glasses.He walked to his seat and gracefully sat in it. "No, actually"The therapist rubbed his neck to prevent swearing. "I don't know why you still attend this therapy sessions if you will not listen""Well, because I'm bored and Tasha isn't home at the moment she's taking care of her grandkids," He sighed as the old man from his normal grumpy attitude turned into a bashful one.Aries rolled his eyes. "If you like her, just tell her". The therapist stared at him like he had just uttered a bunch of nonsense
Aries was trying to comprehend what she just said cause it sounded like Latin and he would have spoken it if he could, just to understand the bullshit Leilani just told him. They sat opposite each other in a serious staring contest. Only the small table in the study room separated them. "I clearly remember saying I won't marry you, Leilani, then I will marry you. I just haven't decided when," He said icily. She shifted nervously in her sit.Clearing her throat "Well I have a better deal now"He shook his head "I don't want it" Leilani glared at him. "I'm not overjoyed to marry you either, Mr Aries. But it is either you or my parents will marry me off to some Australian aristocrat," she was panicking.Running her fingers through her hair she sighed, "I need a drink".She walked to the wine cellar, picking up a bottle of white wine. She got them each a glass and poured drinks into it. Handing his glass over to him, she chugged down hers in one go. She was really nervous or frustrat
Leilani looked at him, lost, then blinked once, then twice, before she uttered something really stupid. "I wasn't staring"He arched a brow. "I never said you were. " His teeth were so white and straight she had never noticed."So why did you ask that dumb question?" she retorted.His grin widened. "What question?" She frowned "Don't play dumb"Picking up two plates "I do not know what you're talking about" he chuckled.She gritted her teeth. "Yes, you do. " He served the food on two plates. "What? that you think I'm hot?""Yes. " her eyes widened at what she just said, clasping her hand over her mouth. Aries laughed.Dropping the yummy looking plate of food in front of her "So honest angel"Stuttering, she tried to defend herself, licking her lips "I meant no. " taking the glass of water he gave to her, she drank it to calm her heartbeat. It wasn't working. "Just because you're handsome doesn't mean you should be cocky about it." She wanted the earth to open and swallow her right
All the staff complimented him as he left the stage "So handsome" he them whisper among themselves.Anastasia walked towards him, holding a towel and a can of drink. "Being a rookie actor is hard work, here drink up. " She handed him the drink and towel.Reluctantly, he took it from not wanting to seem suspicious. "It would be nice to have you as the lead actor. What's your name again?" He held his breath as hit him with the question he hadn't been expecting "Alexander" "Okay, Alex see you tomorrow and here's a tip whatever he tells you, do it," she advised him to place her hand on his chest. He took a step back.Putting on a cheerful smile, he said, "Thanks for the advice"Laughing awkwardly, she waved him goodbye. He cursed through clenched teeth. That little bitch if he could break her neck for ruining his career, he would. She should just wait he will end here.Softly, he knocked on the office door. "Coming in"Aries walked into the office. It wasn't big small to be honest. Ther
Leilani currently sat across from him on the table, passing him the contract. "I'll pay you one million dollars every month for as long as you are married to me."His eye twitched with annoyance, but he kept his cool look at the contract. "No physical contact, no emotional conversation, no sexual interaction..." he burst into laughter.Arching a brow, she cleared her throat. "This marriage is business and we must act professional. I am introducing to my parents on Christmas Eve." She cutting into the garnished food on her plate with a knife.Drinking a glass of water, she continued, "I asked them to give me a couple more weeks, to find a suitable husband, but really I'm busy fudging an identity for you".Relaxing into the sit, "I have to deceive my entire family and you have to as well, which is why I'm trying so hard to get you a lead role in a new movie."Picking up the remote, she turned on the TV.To Aries surprise, the director was on the news. "they have arrested Director Han St
A body dropped from the top of the stairs to the ground. Aries heart thumped hard in his chest. He knew he better feign blindness or he would end up like the lifeless body on the ground.The old man, he had seen him for the first time in the mansion he had previously worked in. He came downstairs with Sharon's arm around his. Everyone was in a bowing position.This man's aura was so terrifying. Aries held his breath as he walked past them. Everyone one followed behind him. Aries could sense the man was angry, yet he dared not speak unless asked.Taking their sits he respected himself a stood, since he naturally loved breathing. "I don't know your name, but you have impeccable manners, young man"Aries still didn't raise his head. The old man's voice echoed in the dining room, "And you? Who exactly are you?"A man who Aries hadn't noticed before sat beside Sharon stammering, rubbing his hands nervously on his lap. "Father, I am Sharon's boyfriend" The old man cocked his head to the s
