Her mockery of him, infuriated him. What on earth, made her think he couldn't be an actor. He walked down the street looking for where the auditions were being held. The morning was cold, and the air was humid. He could tell it would rain again. Aries got to the building, and a long line of people stood in the hallway.People stared at him, some in shock and the others with irritation.He avoided their gaze, walking up to the woman at the table."You're here for the auditions?" she arched a brow, chewing a gum. She eyed him up and down, then seemed to withhold laughter.She gave him a small card; he was number one hundred and fifty. A gorgeous woman stepped in. He recognized her as Anastasia Damon. A famous prodigy actress, she walked past him, her aura engulfing the entire space as everyone admired her.she disappeared into the auditioning room.After hours of waiting, Aries finally got on stage. "What are you?" the question hit him still on a spot.He pointed to himself, his mo
Leilani gained her composure, storming into the mansion once she realized Aries didn't have an answer to her question.She was a beautiful woman. Her net worth was overwhelming the list of men after her where more than he could count.Aries scoffed as he walked into the sad mansion. What had he been thinking, that she could actually like a pauper like him after he rejected her proposal?Crashing into his bed, reality struck him. He was proud of nothing. He stared out the glass wall until he felt sleepy, the city lights were impeccable.Waking up the next morning, she had already left the house, he stepped into the massive grey kitchen. It was classic and modern, spotlessly clean, meaning she probably never use it, unlike the kitchen at his dad's house.The cupboards were empty, meaning she had nothing for breakfast or lunch.Searching his pocket, he didn't have a single cash.He sighed, heading back up the stairs. He ran into a nice housekeeper."Why, hello, young man, are you with ma
Leilani looked up at him, cleaning his face with her towel. "What? omg isn't that Leilani, like the Leilani Alexandria!" Georgina pointed in shock.Viana flipped her hair, walking towards them when bodyguards blocked her path.The bodyguards moved Leilani and Aries through the crowd to the awaiting Rolce Royce."Oh, my goodness it's a Rolce Royce," The Army gasped.Viana's temper boiled as she rubbed her neck. Not only was she being ignored and treated like some peasant, but Aries was getting into a Rolce Royce. Everyone literally forgot he was a rapist."How the fuck does he know, Leilani?" Viana screamed, grasping Georgina by the neck. This made Aries feel better a bit.The car was quiet for some minutes before Leilani spoke. "wanna talk about it?"Aries shook his head, staring out the window at the moving trees."I trust you. You wouldn't hurt anyone," Leilani assured him.He slouched into the car sit "you don't have to make me feel better angel" Leilani blushed at the nickname, a
Mrs Tasha engulfed him in a big hug. Leading him into the house, he didn't glance at Leilani at all as Tasha greeted her like a sweet mother.He dropped off the bags on the kitchen counter before going straight to his room to take a shower.The cold shower eased his temper but not his want.Aries headed down the stairs as the smell of tasty food filled his nose.The dining table was huge and filled with a whole buffet.His hair still dripped wet from the shower. He walked into the kitchen."Mrs Tasha need any help?" he humbly asked "Yes, my boy, help me chop those apples." he helped her prepare the fruit bowl while they discussed cows. Such a weird conversation, but he loved it.Mrs Tasha seemed to be the easiest person he could speak to since his mom and this made him at ease. They finished setting the table as Leilani came down the stairs, still toweling her slightly wet hair.She had on a cream silk nightgown, Aries had to chug down a whole bottle of water at the sight of her.L
ARIESThey haven't spoken all week. Leilani has been avoiding him like a plague. It was worse than before. She usually wakes up at 6 am. Lately she wakes up as early as 5am.She walks around the kitchen like she's walking on nails quietly. He usually goes for a really early morning jog, so he always stands outside the mansion, staring at her through the window.Once a spoon fell and she flinched so hard, looking up the stairs like he would appear suddenly.Did he scare her that much, her ex must have done a terrible job. He laughed to himself at how clumsy she was.Today he didn't see her at all, though. It was the first day of the movie shoot. He was very nervous just as Anastasia came on the set, dressed better than the goddess. This made him self conscious as he looked at his beige slacks and black t-shirt.Yeah, he definitely needed a stylist.They shot at the first scene. His part was pretty simple and actually only had a few lines to say, which were "Can I get you anything?" he
He stared at her quietly wondering if he should twist her neck.Anastasia shifted in her seat uncomfortable under his scrutinizing dark gaze. He looked like he was about to commit murder."Well are you going to keep staring like an idiot or are gonna pick it." Anastasia feigned nonchalance.Aries shrugged then spoke in a very calm voice " Go and pick up" She stared at him like he had just spoken Spanish along with the other staff members who were tidying up the set. "What! are you talking back to me?" she stood up raising her hand to slap him but he caught it.Eyes dark as midnight raging with a storm penetrated through her bone a chill went down her spine as he tightened his grip. She winced in pain.He leaned close to her a creepy smile on his lips " I won't repeat myself again, get down there and pick up my phone or I will throw you down the same way you just threw it."Fear gripped her heart as she forced her hand out of his grip and ran down the stairs. He walked slowly behind
ARIES Her tongue slipped into his mouth, which had dropped slightly open in shock at the sight of her. The kiss was hot as she pressed against him. Her soft, massive fake boobs made him hard, but what turned him off was the fact that he was thinking about Leilani as she was kissing him.He screwed up big time, and he knew it, that he wished so badly that the lips on his were Leilani's turned him completely off. Gently, he tugged at her hair to free him from her tight grip, but she deepened the kiss.She lifted her smooth, long leg, wrapping it around his waist. Her wetness was directly on his hard on and his brain was about to shut down.A loud screeching made him jump out of Georgina's grip, "What the fuck? " Leilani stood at the top of the stairs, her expression blank. Aries avoided her gaze. He had done nothing wrong. Leilani wasn't interested in him even a bit."Hide your bitch somewhere my mom's around," Leilani snapped, and his spine stiffened at her curse.She was such a pro
VIANA She took a long drag of her cigar; she was mad. That son of a bitch must think he is someone important, she scoffed as what was his name—tony, tray. Ah shit, she didn't know. All she knew was that he was doing a fucking great job down there.Georgina, Army and Samantha also lay around making out with guys. They were high; she didn't know what she just took, but it was so good.When their heads were a bit a clear Georgina spoke up "Should we teach him a lesson?" her voice was a slur.Army rolled her eyes, knowing she was about to do all the dirty work like always. "you say that like you can. " "You know I hate blood, but I want to hit him so bad. I want to ruin him so he'd have no choice but to beg me for mercy"Samantha chugged down a bottle of champagne, and Viana frowned in disgust. The girl was a total. Drunkard, thank goodness she was a model. "Don't you think you guys are putting too much effort into a nobody?" Samantha arched a brow, barely able to stand. She giggled w
"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
Leilani was pissed Martha currently held one twin in her arms as they arrived at their private mansion he had gotten earlier that week.He was tired of living under the godfathers roof, it finally felt good buy a property worth 13million dollars and call it home.Leilani seemed pleased with the property as well, as she had no protests about it, not that Aries was surprised. 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
