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

    "Do you know who I am? I am Teresa Alexandria. How dare you arrest me!" She yelled at the officer who sat across from her in the interrogation room.The Detective stared at Teresa passively, and Louisiana shrugged. "Do you know who we are? You are making a mistake, detective. No one would dare report us for something as crude as attempted murder." "I am detective Coby, as I am sure you are aware, madam, and you were reported for attempted murder. Please, just answer my questions." He said politely."Where you in contact with Mr Alex Alexandria Cole and Mrs Leilani Alexandria Cole this afternoon?" he questioned.They remained silent, not uttering a word. They didn't answer any of his questions and Coby gave up standing up to leave the interrogation room."I'll come back later when you are ready to talk," Coby said politely.Teresa smirked. "I hope you come back, detective."The two of them sat in the cell, waiting to be bailed. Teresa was losing her mind when a detective approached wi

    "Stop following me Alex, just stop!" Aries stood for a moment as she stood as well. "I know you're mad."Leilani spun around and looked at him incredulously. "You know I'm mad? You know I'm mad? How dare you?" "I'm sorry.""How could you treat another human being like a pawn to be thrown away? I thought I was being evil when I married you to get to become the heir." She said, shaking her head."But you? You have other plans, don't you? You're not who you say you are, or who you pretend to be Alex, or should I say Aries, if any of those are your actual names." She yelled at him.He stared at her, feeling every bit remorseful for hurting her. "Who are you, Aries? How do you have the power or connections to actually get my mother arrested and unable to be bailed by anyone but you?" Aries couldn't explain he was mute, quiet, like a startled kid. "Lani...." "No, you know what don't. I want a divorce." Lightning struck as she said it.And Aries' heart hit his rib cage. He slowly went to

Months, she and Eric now lived in the Alexandria chateau.She was the general manager of one of the climax firms. Surrounded by staff who worked their ass off to please her. It was exciting. She loved it. Her room chandelier glowed a bright gold. Painted black intricate patterns with gold, like the room of an Arabian king. The bed frame was real gold. She smiled as she caressed it beneath her fingers. The curtains were of the finest silk. The carpet was Italian, the finest fur she had ever felt beneath her feet.She stared at her child in the crib as jealousy crowded her heart. The fact he'd inherit this empire on a platter of gold was just too good a deal."Watch him." She told the nanny before strolling out of the room.He slept too peacefully. Meanwhile, she worked her ass off, was married off for power, used to benefit her family. Killed her

"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."

    "Business has been going smoothly for you lately." Greg stated as he moved a piece on the chessboard.It was a rhetorical question.

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.

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.
