Ares smiled when he heard her gasp, he was not repelled when he felt the stiffness of her body, of course, she was tense, it was only normal to be.He edged closer, whispering a low “relax” into her ear.Slowly, one after another, he felt the muscles in her body, relax as she let herself accept his touch.She felt a little cold against him, and he instinctively held her closer, pulling her deeper into the warmth of his body.Laying there spooned together, their bodies felt like they were meant for each other.Absentmindedly stroking her arm with his thumb, he heard her sigh one more time before her breath even.Slow, calm, and deliberate breathing escaped her, and he knew without looking that she was fast asleep.A smile painted his face again as he looked at her sleeping face, he preferred her like this, asleep and peaceful, without a care in the world.She snored a little, and it sounded like music to his ear.Snuggling closer and clinging more onto him, Sara whined a low mumble int
Ivan left her house the next day.He had decided to stay the night with her after the letter saga, wanting to be there for her, as he knew she needed it so much. Even though she didn't say, he saw it in her eyes.He had some things he had to get done that weekend. Plus he had to relax for the upcoming week.After preparing her breakfast and eating together, he finally headed out and assured her that he'd come back in the evening. As he got home, he placed a call to his assistant, asking him about any updates.“Hey, are we still in the clear?” He said to the other end of the call.“Yeah. They still don't have an idea. But she's their new target now.” His assistant said concerned.“I know. We'll sort it out like always.” Ivan assured him.“Alright. Do you need anything else?” His assistant asked.“No. Not for now at least.” Ivan replied as he ended the call.Of course, he felt bad that he hadn't told her about himself. But everything he did, he did to protect her.He loved her too muc
Eve was Ares’ wannabe girlfriend for as long as he could remember, she had practically thrown herself at him every chance she got, and he had pushed her away for as long as he could.But then his resolve had melted for a while, and they had an affair which was quite unhealthy for both parties.Ares needed someone to quench his sexual thirst and Eve did a pretty good job at that, she was a perfect option.Eve, on the other hand, needs a fat bank account and Ares is quite capable of providing that for her.Safe to say, they both used each other for their separate selfish reasons.Their convenient relationship had come to an end when he found out Sara was still alive, but Eve would not have it.Her source of income was to be taken away from her, so she persisted, in calling, texting, and visiting.The last time they had met was a few weeks before Sara was finally found, she had visited him at the office clad in a slitted red dress that did absolute justice to her seductive body.Her left
Chapter 70Vera had been sweetly distracted by the presence of Ivan in her life, a little part of her had completely banished the thoughts of Mr. Anderson and the court summons. It was surprising how they had been married for three years but never got intimate or shown the slightest interest in each other, but now that they were separated, their craving for each other was limitless.Soaking herself in the heat of passionate lovemaking and being babied and taken care of for the first time In a long time.She needed it, especially considering how hectic her week was looking to be.Being back and fully immersed in her work, trying to keep things in place just In case the Mr. Anderson case got messy.Ivan had finally left a few hours ago after dropping her off at the office with a promise to pick her up immediately she clocked out for the day.The thing with Ivan had happened so fast and had swept her off her feet in the best way possible.She searched through the pile of papers, taking
“I'm pregnant, Ares,” she said flatly.Ares felt his heart thumping violently in his chest, begging silently that it wasn't what he thought it was.Not now, not when he was with Sara, not when he was still making the head of their relationship.It was the wrongest time for this to happen, and he knew she was not lying.“Eve, what are you trying to say!” He bellowed at her. “I am pregnant, Ares.” She paused, “And it's yours.”“We have not been together since…” He started to say, trying to remember the exact date.But was cut short by her drawl voice.“I know who the father of my child is and exactly when I got pregnant.” Ares sighed, unable to say a word. His brain could not construct a tangible word to describe his feelings at the moment.“What do you want, Eve?” He asked. “Oh nothing, Ares,” she said, “why would you even assume that I want something from you?” She asked, feigning surprise.“Because it's you, Eve, you always want something.”“Not this time, I just called to let you
Chapter 72Vera rolled her eyes at her friend, chuckling at her silliness.Bella was like this sometimes, and she would rather not send her away, knowing she needed the emotional support.“How long is it until he gets here?” Bella asked, already impatient after the first twenty minutes.“Soon,” Vera said, not looking up from her work.She heard Bella sigh, Vera threw a glance at her before continuing her work.“Girl, you said soon ten minutes ago” Bella retorted “And I'll say it again if you keep badgering me,” Vera answered with a laugh.“Whatever,” Bella said, rolling her eyes and resuming her scrolling.A knock on the door makes her sit upright instantly, clutching her phone to her chest and staring wide-eyed at Vera.“Is that him?” She whispered.“How am I supposed to know?”Vera asked back, gesturing with her hands.“Come in.”“The door is open” they both chorused in unison, turning around to give each other a weird look before chuckling.Vera went back to her work while Bella s
Chapter 73Are's thoughts were disturbed for most of the day. This can’t be happening, how did I mess up so bad, he kept asking himself.Ares kept scolding himself for making such a mistake, his phone vibrated on the table, indicating a call.And it was the one person he was trying to avoid speaking to, the guilt he felt could not let him speak to her for fear that she might hear his sins through his voice.“Sara” he called into the receiver.“Ares, I’ve been trying to get a hold of you. What’s going on?” Her voice was laced with concern, the Ares she knew would be over the moon about her sight.Yes, he had seemed happy for her, but he was not his usual self and his energy seemed off too, but she was so occupied by the happiness of the moment that she had let it slide.“Are you okay, you just disappeared after yesterday?” She asked.“I’m fine, Sara, How are you?” he answered, sounding nervous.He may or may not have been a bit of a coward and had run away as soon no he could, he had s
Vera sighed a sigh of relief as she settled into the comfort of her best, ready to retire for the night.She had to force herself to at least get her nighttime skincare routine done, which took all her willpower and her desire to have flawless skin always.It had been quite a hectic day for her, and usually, she would get some work done before bed, but she was making an exception for today just as she had promised Ivan.A smile painted her face brightly as she thought of him and this thing, whatever it was between them.Her feelings for him were like she had never felt for anyone before, and she knew this, part of her even agreed with her assumption that he felt the same way.His smile had matched hers when he came by the office to pick her up after work, just like he had promised, and he came with flowers and a cute little note about how beautiful she was.Bella had cooed sweetly, and waved them goodbye as she zoomed off herself.Vera knew she would not herself the half of it when th
