The Christmas dinner was going smoothly, even though Aries had to stare at his family all day. Hatred was too minimal a word for what he felt towards them. He absolutely despised their existence.That they act like he never existed, like they never tortured him, like they didn't make every day the beginning of another nightmare suffocated him. That they didn't remember him, never spoke about him, infuriated him.That he had to fake smiles as Greg put an arm around his neck. He felt sick to his stomach. "Bro, meet my girlfriend, Mitsuki Hashimoto, " Greg introduced her.The girl politely greeted "Good evening, I'm Greg's girlfriend."Both he and Asher stared at Greg like he had gone mad. "Do you want to go against godfather?" Asher chuckled. As Greg shook his head. "No, no, no. I wouldn't dare, but I really love her. " The laughter that erupted from Aries and Asher's throat drew a lot of attention. "What so funny?" Asher wiped a tear. "You bro. You know men in our family do not pick
Seeing the little woman in distress was truly devastating, as he watched her retreating figure. She was indeed a lovely woman, lovely enough to cause havoc. The perfect havoc.He watched Greg and Dasha from the shadows, putting his ears in their conversation.Dasha cleared her throat. Greg looked at her and instantly dismissed her. Turning his back to her "I know very well that you do not know me, but if we get to know each other, I think we-" Displeased with their conversation, Greg turned to look at her, his eyes loathing and foreboding. "I feel you did not hear me in the dining room. I am not interested in you and I will never be." Returning his gaze back to the sky, he continued, "You are a pretty woman. Many men will want to marry you, not just me. " His eyes held no compassion. "I love another. I can never love you. " The words pierced through Dasha like a knife, the pain of rejection in her eyes. She smiled. "I understand you, I actually came to say. You deserve to be happy
Aries sat in Greg's car, half asleep. It was exactly 11pm when he called and dragged him out if bed to follow him to the airport. Much to Aries' dismay but he seemed to have a good reason even though he could not comprehend half of what he said.The snow fell heavily on this Christmas night. The Christmas lights shone beautifully on people's houses, making him smile. He would have still been in the comfort of Leilani's embrace if not for this barbarian.Asher groaned "Did you have to take both of us. If you want to run away, don't you think it's a bad idea to let us know?" Greg shook his head. "I trust you guys. I need you to keep this a secret. " A yawn betrayed Aries, earning him a glare from Greg. "Look, I need some sleep" Greg rolled his eyes, and Aries turned his eyes back on the road. Staring dreamily at the snow, the music in the car didn't help either. The soft sound of the piano was putting him back to sleep.The sound of blaring police sirens startled him awake as they got
GREG They sat in the police station, Aries and Greg. Greg was sobbing his eyes out. "I didn't see him there, he just like.... ran out of nowhere and I hit him and because I'm such a loyal citizen, I choose to come report myself to you." He continued to cry, "I was so scared, it's like he wanted to take his own life cause I was driving and he just jumped into the road." The young cop touched his hand to comfort him. "Mr Cole, you have done a great job coming here and we truly admire you. You've done the right thing." Greg sniffed as the woman in the police uniform continued her speech. "Most people would have hit him and run away, but you are the 1%" Feeling proud of himself, Greg smiled. "I am. " Aries forced a smile, tapping Greg's tight. She continued to speak, "you also don't have to be so worried. Mr Eros only suffered a minor concussion though his on oxygen currently he will be as good as new soon." Caught unaware, Greg exclaimed, "What!" everyone turned to look at him. "w
Viana slowly absorbed the words her godfather spoke as they sat down for breakfast. Someone tried to kill her husband. What was this bullshit about suicide?She woke up this morning, and Eros wasn't beside. The way he treated her last night had been utterly unforgivable. The man didn't see her as a wife.He saw her as a whore for that she despised him, but deep inside she was in love with Eros, that's why she stole him from Leilani.Unquestionably, she couldn't defend herself from that fact, but she neither could she ignore his attitude towards her. But never had she thought he would try to commit suicide. It was just unbearable.Resentment welled in her heart as everyone looked at her with sympathy in her eyes. Last night she had been so mad at him she ignored him throughout the night even when he received late calls. She just couldn't believe it Eros would never commit suicide.Slamming her hands aggressively on the dining table, she gained everyone's attention. Aries looked at he
Aries and Greg finally started attending Harvard, and honestly to Aries, it was all overwhelming. It had always been his dream to study at Oxford university but to get into Harvard! his dreams had never been that big.After arriving at the University and settling down, he and Greg had taken a stroll around the exquisite university. Everything about the university was indeed superb and well deserving of all the hype.Everyone carried themselves with a certain aura. You would know they were definitely from rich families or just in over their heads. He sighted Georgina from afar. A group of students, all of them dressed crisply in suits, surrounded her. You could easily tell she was an ace among them. He smirked as he they explored the campus further and found themselves in the hospital; it wasn't a coincidence that he saw Army there taking notes as the consultant explained something.Unquestionably, Aries had come to this school to prepare himself to lead the climax empire while making
Aries shrugged. "Why would I kill her?" Greg stared at him intensely before tapping his shoulder and smiling. "Why so serious? I'm joking. You have no reason to kill Mitsuki is. You're the only one who actually liked her." They strolled to the dorms the amount of people staring at them was surreal. They whispered among themselves, "Isn't that Alexander? ", "Like the Alexander is at our school!" He panicked, grabbing Greg by the wrist, he pulled him along, going into the hostel. He pushed open the door before the girls could get to him. Greg laughed. "You are pretty famous, huh?" "No one's gonna believe a superstar like you stays in the dorm," Greg laughed "But it will be fun many girls" Aries looked around. It was comfy, nothing like a dorm actually, grey walls with dark blue patterns. "I'm married Greg."It was eye-catching very interesting. Greg had convinced him to stay with him in the dorms, saying it would be fun. "So, Eros doesn't seem to give a fuck why should you"Climbin
GREGThey sat in the station, much to Aries's dismay. He relaxed in the waiting room.While Greg sat in the investigation office tapping his feet feeling very irritated and low on patience, "Are you to tell me you police fuckers did your investigation only to tell me I killed my girlfriend?" Vexed, he slammed his hands on the table. Audrey leaned back in her chair as Allison watched from the other side of the glass. "Mr Cole calm down" Audrey stared him down and he sneered, "I knew it the police are useless." She dropped the files on the table, pointing at it. "It says here that you were the last person seen with her and the last person to call her. Which makes you a prime suspect. " Running his hand through his hair, he chuckled bitterly, "Mitsuki was my girlfriend" she listened quietly as he spoke.His eyes teared up. He really didn't want to talk about it. He had been coping all this while because he was in denial.That she wasn't dead, she was on a trip she would come back to
