ARMYSiren lights shone in a distance.Embarrassing.This was fucking embarrassing.Was this how she was going to get arrested?Her father would kill her, might as well commit suicide now.If the godfather found out about the disgraceful display that occurred today.He might as well lock her in a cell for embarrassing him.Red lights, blue lights.Cars, damp earth.Grass.Funny, she guessed this was what dying felt like.It was cold.So cold and lonely.Empty.There was no one around.No one would save her.No one would run to her rescue like they had come for Aries and Greg.People didn't love monsters.She was a monster always had been.It's not everyday you meet a child who killed her own mother and felt no remorse.Her father made her do it.Because her mother had betrayed him. Her mother had been kind. She believed in hope and goodness and all those fairytales gibberish like prince charming.My father couldn't change her. She had been his weakness, his bane.And so he used her to
Aries took in a lungful of air, panting and drenched in sweat.What happened?He looked around. He was in the hospital.The ward, equipped with the latest technology, a comfortable bed, a fridge and TV. The room was huge.A VIP ward, Dasha did most of her job well except for the part where some guy in a wheelchair sat before him.He really had to tighten security around him."Lucas," He greeted with a fake jolly tune.The mischievous green eyes shone like diamonds. "Did you like my gift?" "I didn't know you could move your wheelchair past the godfather's mansion. That is being Teresa's biological son. You're more like gold." "That's why I am here. Not everyone has access to the information of my existence Alex, so I wondered what Little Birdy has access to such exclusive info and how much money could they have paid?" his smile was devious and his eyes as harsh as the godfathers.Aries cocked his neck to the side. Although he being bound bandages and his muscles hurt. He just couldn'
The doors swung open, and she stood in the doorway.Aries was up and on his feet at the sight of her. She raised her finger up, trying to catch her breath.He stood watching her. Her hair was a mess, she was sweating profusely and lipstick smeared by the corner of her lip.Yet, he had never seen another more beautiful in his lifetime. "Lani," his voice cracked as he said her name filled with emotion.He was overwhelmed as she walked to him slowly, as if counting her steps, "say nothing." "I don't care." "I don't want to know""I missed you. I thought I lost you." "All I know Aries. Is that I trust you and I love you? That's all that matters? " She cupped his chin with both hands.He leaned his head against hers.Wrapping his arms around her perfect small frame.Home, she felt like home.He missed this.He missed home. Her scent was a blessing to his nostrils.Her soft skin against his felt like heaven after so many cold nights.To be here in the perfection of her arms was a bless
"Congratulations Viana." Teresa greeted with a soft smile that could deceive anyone. Leilani and Aries followed her.It was of no secret to them the evil intentions Teresa had for that child. Greg and Asher joined them and Leilani excused herself."Someone tried to kill us, Aries." Greg said through gritted teeth, smiling and waving at guests who greeted or acknowledged his presence.Aries sighed, picking up a glass of wine from the tray of the ser that passed by. "I'm well aware Greg, since I was there." Asher clenched his jaw, a solid frown on his face. He didn't waste time on pleasantries like. Greg he was downright pissed. "It would seem you have forgotten all too quickly what... whoever the bastard is that tried to kill us and for what purpose, I would never understand." "The person is trying to wage war on us..." Aries replied."Trying?" Asher said, chewing his jaw. "If I get my hands on the bitch, I will strangle him to death." Greg, who had been quiet all this while, spoke.
Army woke up panting and disoriented. Her body ached everywhere. Ugly purple and red bruises on her skin. Aries, she had to kill Aries. She had one job, and she fucked up. "Fuck!" She tried to move as fast as possible out of the king sized bed. Stretching her limbs, until she heard their crack when the doors to her room sprang open. Asher stood at the door a tray in hand to change her bandages. "Going somewhere?" "You saved me?" she asked in shock. He moved to the side of the bed. "I'm shocked as well." She frowned. "Why?"He shrugged "You ask a lot of questions you and you haven't even answered mine." Recollecting herself, she continued to move to the edge of the bed steadily. "I have a job to do." "You're not well," he said, simply dropping the tray in the drawer.She fumed "I'm fine, I'm awake. That's all that's needed."Annoyed with her persistence and her avoiding his gaze, he held her in place with one hand stooping to her eye level. "You're not going anywhere. I spent a w
They all sat in the godfather's mansion on the large table. He wasn't comfortable; he had a bad feeling about this. Leilani's mother seemed white and a ghost.Anger in her eyes, also a pinch of denial. Leilani touched her hand. "Is something wrong, Mother?" She forced a smile. "Not at all Lani. Just a cold." she coughed. Leilani worriedly caressed her hand. "This tension is killing me." Greg murmured."You could just be overreacting. He might just want to see us," Dasha assured him.Greg chuckled. "You think that man gives a damn about us?""That man has never asked for us to gather for a friendly meal." Leilani's father spoke. He rarely spoke, but he did today, and that had everyone even more worried.Leilani leaned into Aries and whispered, "My mother just lied. That's a bad sign. Brace yourself.""Also Eros and Viana aren't present. We should definitely be worried..."The door swung open and Viana stepped in with Eros and the nanny with the child in her arms.Her face was brimmi
"You useless, insolent child! " The slap sounded across her cheeks. Teresa paced around like a lion in chains "I told you to kill that child and even if you didn't want his blood on your hands, I wanted to do it for you." She turned her furious gaze on the kneeling Leilani. "What sin did I commit to bear a weakling like you for a child? What you want that child to eat the fruit of my labour? Never!" "I will kill and bring down anyone who gets in my ways." She screamed, throwing away the table. She kicked Leilani in the chest, and she fell. Aries ran as fast as she could, blocking her. Teresa didn't stop. She stumped on his back repeatedly. "If she listened to me and didn't marry a loser like you, we wouldn't be in this mess! I will kill you before I kill that child." Leilani grabbed Aries.Protecting him, she knelt in front of him. "Forgive me, mother, I will do anything. Just don't hurt Aries." "Kill that man!" Teresa demanded her bodyguards walking to stand beside her. Leilani
"Who sent you?" Aries asked Jenny as Leilani left.She shrugged. "No one, I just felt like ruining your chance at happiness. Like I always do." "Don't lie, I know you Jenny. You're too busy to go around ruining your ex's life. How much did they pay you?." Jenny smirked. "A lot. Some rich lady showed up and brides me a handsome amount, with five zeros."Aries frowned. "I'll offer you double the amount she paid you to tell Leilani the truth." Jenny paused, looking at Aries seriously before bursting into laughter. "Where the hell are you going to get one hundred thousand dollars from?" "I'll give you two hundred if you tell Leilani the truth." Aries spoke without humour.Her phone beeped, and she checked her notifications. Two hundred thousand dollars sat there comfortably in her account.Her eyes gleamed with excitement. "Holy hell, when did you get so fucking rich? I mean, I know your dad's rich but bruh, this shit's insane!" she laughed. "I'mma go tell her right now, if you don't
