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.

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

The movie played as he set the popcorn. Sitting to watch it, he really couldn't believe the man on the screen was him. He had to admit the doctor did an excellent job because even he didn't recognize himself.Leilani joined him in the parlour with her own bowl of popcorn. She watched his every move on the screen. "You are unbelievably good at acting. " She seemed impressed, he could tell.He smiled, turning his gaze back to the TV. "That's because I've been through what the character has been through: the humiliation, the suffering, the abandonment, the betrayal"Chuckling, he felt her glare boring into his head. He looked into her empty eyes. "I didn't mean to spoil the mood"Her eyes clouded with emotion. "You didn't""Your mother was silent today" he questioned chewing a mouth full of popcorn.She frowned. "eeww, chew with your mouth closed. Women don't share opinions in my godfather's house. It's better to be silent or my godfather will really silence you"Curious, he probed furth

The morning was very grey; the sky filled with a storm as he walked into the abandoned warehouse. The place was a dump site. Crushed car remains, trash, rotten food and empty containers formed a wall as he walked through the narrow path.As soon as they sighted him, they ran, opening an umbrella over his head. The others went on their knees, their heads touching the earth. "Welcome, master"They lead him underground. The place was bright enough. Everyone seemed busy, some working on their advanced technology and other's training in brutal combat.It was an illegal gang filled with hardened criminals. "My Lord, it's been almost a year since we saw you. We have missed you dearly. Everyone bow to the master. " In sync, everyone bowed except one. "I refuse to accept you as my master. " Another man pulled at the arrogant huge man's pants, trying to reason with him. "I don't think you are fit to be our ruler. I challenge you"He stared at them intensely. He knew he looked different. They

Aries nervously swallowed. He and Leilani sat opposite his entire family. His father and stepmother, Viana, Greg and Suzy. Suzy looked taller now. Had it been that long? He wondered. He avoided their gaze so they wouldn't recognize him.They filled the breakfast table; the food was abundant, and the godfather seemed to be in a great mood.The man kept looking at Aries throughout the breakfast. Eros joined them at the breakfast, making Leilani uncomfortable, though only Aries would notice because she was so calm even when troubled. An unreadable expression on his face, god father cleared his throat to gain their attention "Good morning children" we all mumbled a greeting in response "I have good news, Viana and Eros with Alex and Leilani will get married on December 23rd by noon"Sharon slammed her glass on the table. "pardon me"Viana spat the wine she had been drinking, followed by Leilani choking on her wine. "What! 23rd is seven days from now," Viana retorted." godfather, I have

Leilani and Aries sat on the balcony overlooking the entire forestry scene. "Tell me, how did you find out?" She looked at him, opening a bottle of scotch. "About what?"He stayed quiet. "Oh that, I saw them. The day he broke up with me, Sharon was in the car." A painful smile displayed on her lips. "She must have really loved him for her to look at him like that"Deep in thought, he questioned, "Doesn't that mean there will be a conflict between her and Viana?"Staring at the sky, she replied, "I guess not that I care. Sharon is too ambitious and territorial. If Viana isn't careful, she can make Viana's life a nightmare"The atmosphere was chilly, the evening snow pouring softly. "So, are you going to tell me who you want revenge against at least? I seem to tell you everything, but you never tell me anything." Leilani pouted.His face was expressionless as he spoke. "Once upon a time, a kind woman ruled the world. Everyone envied her and wanted what she had. Even the one who she lo

"Your getting married? All of you just freaking kill me now!" Georgina shrieked, smoking a cigar. They were in the VIP of their favorite lounge, but none of them were in the mood to party."I cannot marry a cripple." Samantha spat in anger, holding the glass in her hand but not drinking at all.She was furious, and everyone knew why. "I mean, why would my parents agree to something so ridiculous? What would people say? That I, a supermodel and influencer, am marrying a lame man!" Georgina shrugged "Well look on the bright side his a fucking rich multimillionaire so, I mean you don't have to fuck him to love him." Samantha fumed. "You think money is everything? I'm not broke, you know." "Hmmm but I heard you will soon be if you refuse to marry Lucas, you will be stripped of your position as heiress and won't earn a dim of your inheritance. A most tragic love story." Georgina said, sipping her wine.Samantha clenched her fist. "I won't marry a cripple. I rather die. My parents can g

He had hired her favourite interior designer to decorate the house.The Martha felt the silent war in the car. Adelio remained nestled in Leilani's arms, deep asleep as they got out of the car and walked into the mansion.The long trail of bodyguards he had hired recently were doing their work, standing on the stairs leading to the front door. Some patrolled round the house holding dogs in chains.As soon as they were in the comfort of privacy, Leilani snapped, "Your friends with Lucas?" Aries crushed under his breath as his P. A approached him and helped him out of his suit jacket. "When did this shit start?" H

"What should we name them?" Leilani asked, rocking one of their babies in their arms.Aries shrugged, also admiring the little creature in his own arms. "I'll call this one Aramis. Ari, for short, it sounds like my name." Leilani's eye sparkled. "That's a brilliant name." She turned her attention to the bundle of joy in her arms. "I think I'll name him Adelio, Lio for short. It sounds a bit like my name." They shared a comforting moment in each other's presence, enjoying the silence.News travels fast, too fast. The godfather showed up at the hospital not too long ago, thrilled to see his new grandsons, followed by a swarm of family friends and relatives.He hated it.Heck, his hand has been on the gun in his pocket since the first visitor he hadn't recognized showed up to see his son.Who knew his fatherly instincts were so predatory, he felt like a mother hen guarding her chicks. A nosey woman reached out to touch Adelio and Aries reached for his gun, only to feel the cold grasp

Aries pretended not to notice the papers. "Evening, my darling. You look especially dashing tonight." She took an impatient breath, crossing the distance between them. "Please sign the papers for the divorce." He shrugged, crossing his arms over his chest. He looked at her, holding her stare. "I'm not divorcing you Leilani." He said without the slightest hint of humour.An annoyed look crossed her divine features. "We've talked about this already, Aries. Please don't make this hard for me." "No, you talked about this but didn't ask for my opinion, Leilani...." "Which is?" She cut in with holding her anger His eyes roamed her face, her beautiful blonde hair splayed over her shoulders, her blue eyes sparkling with annoyance and the defiant, stubborn tilt of her chin "I love you Leilani." His fingers caressed her cheek and she closed her eyes to gain her composure."Love isn't enough, Aries..... I married and fell in love with a man I do not know, that I blame myself, but could you

Greg sat in the garden at Lucas's mansion, the placed was exquisite.The greedy view of nature on the vast piece of land was divine.The sky and earth greeted at the far end of the coastline.Envy was felt against him for snatching such a wonderful piece of real estate when it was on the market."Lovely isn't?" Lucas' voice broke him out of his intense analysis"Indeed, it is a wonderful piece of land you have here." Greg said, nibbling on his bottom lip as Lucas's chauffeur pushed him gently on his wheelchair to join him in the comfortable garden tea area.A lady dropped a tray on the carved rock between them. "Would you like so tea?" Lucas offered.Greg knew better than to eat at any of his so-called brothers' houses.That's what the godfather referred to them as brothers.The lady served the tea, and another served cakes. Discomfort settled in Greg's belly as they stared at each other and the tray. " Eat dear, I have no reason to kill you.... yet." Lucas smirked, picking up the cu

"Business has been going smoothly for you lately." Greg stated as he moved a piece on the chessboard.It was a rhetorical question. He could feel the tension in the room as Asher observed the strained conversation.Greg was jealous of the progress he was making, while he was busy making his so-called crumbling gaming business into a billionaire empire.Greg's company was crumbling bit by bit. He had lost many losses in the past year.Aries shrugged. "Yes, it has. What can I say? God has been faithful." Tilting his head backwards, Greg snorted, "god? come Alex, that's bullshit. What's your secret? Tell me I won't tell anyone. I swear." Cautiously, Aries shrugged, sipping his wine. "You should go to church the answers there, checkmate." Gritting his teeth, Greg rose to his feet on losing the game to Aries. He wasn't in the best of: moods "I think I'll take my leave now." Aries raised a brow. "Already? oh, come on, we just started playing." The door gently opened, and Martha let her

Aries watched as Viana walked out of the restroom, dragging the two dead bodies behind her. She looked at him sitting comfortably on the sofa. "Oh, don't mind me, I'm not here," he smirked.Her eyes flashed with bloodthirsty excitement, stared at the knife with a grin on her lips. He knew she was a monster, so gaining her trust was the easiest way to use her.He sipped his wine, staring at the trail of blood she left behind her. He would use her, oh he would definitely use her to destroy the Alexandria family and get what's rightfully his.He watched as the housekeeper washed the floor as well. He would have to monitor her.Viana quickly dialed Georgina's phone number.------Georgina walked into the house, taking off her heels before she tossed them aside. The house was a sad combo of greys and browns. She stretched. "God, why do I have to pretend to like that fucking bitch and her pretentious family?" "Boy!!!" she called out in a singsong voice and he walked out of the room.Her l

The sound of birds chirping in the air sounded like the wails of fake tears and sobs slipping from the eyes and lips of half the congregation Viana didn't know.The air was stale, the weather dark and the hymns miserable.The black decorations weren't helping the gloomy state of the environment.Yes, the day was miserable, just like she felt seeing them put her son's coffin on the ground.The godfather had locked her in a cell until the burial. She could only cry, nothing else.It hurt.Everything hurt.Eros was nowhere to be seen.Bodyguards watched her from all angles. She couldn't even breathe, she felt suffocated.She was in a very murderous mood as she watched Leilani and Alex dropped their flowers on the grave.She hated them.One look at Leilani's swollen belly, and she knew she wanted to kill the bitch and her unborn child.If she couldn't be happy, why should anyone be happy?Bile filled her throat as Sharon cast her a pitiful gaze, Georgina and Army quietly cried beside her.

The news shook the entire Alexandria family. Leilani and Aries headed for the climax mansion, all quiet in the limo. None of them said a word for a while in the uncomfortable silence. "Did you do it?" Aries asked with a dark brooding expression on his face. He didn't look at her.Her heart squeeze with venomous hatred of what he was insinuating "I beg your pardon." His harsh gaze shut her up. "Did you kill Viana's child?" It wasn't a question; it was an accusation. His true colours were showing. They say a man can't hide his true self forever. Leilani smiled a bitter smile. "You think I did, so there's no need to defend myself." She turned to stare at the other cars on the road but she couldn't see anything in her tear glassed eyes.They arrived at the mansion, all of them settled in the family meeting room.The godfather's presence was gory and frightening today. His eyes held no laughter or amusement. Leilani sat staring into space like a ghost.Her hair was a mess. She was sti
