Dahlia's POV

It was dark again. Dark and foggy but I could easily make out that I was in a room; An empty room with.. with a large closet leaning on the wall.

"Hello! Is anybody there"? I called out but my chest began to tighten. It began to tighten as if i had forgotten how to breath but in reality, it was the darkness in the room that had taken away my ability to breath properly.

I couldn't move from where i stood. It was like some invisible force had me rooted to the ground, so, I did the only thing I knew how to do whenever i got scared; I sat on my butt and folded my legs to my chest. I hid my face in between my thigh and wrapped my hands around myself.

"It's okay, it's okay. The darkness won't swallow me up, I won't get locked". I murmured while gently patting myself.

Anything to make me forget the torment that this darkness brought.

"Daddy please come for me. Daddy please help me, it's so dark" I hiccupped, almost close to tears.

As if God had heard my cries, and prayers. The l

How on earth could he afford such an expensive car?"Or do you want me to carry you in?"As he said that, the image of him carrying me to the school cafeteria flooded my mind. I quickly pushed it aside. "No, thank you. I can walk just fine."As we both got in the car, I didn't know what to do, so I just sat in my seat, seething. In a few seconds, he moved closer—a little too close. It was suspiciously intimate.My heart dropped to my stomach, and I began to fidget. "What are you doing?"He smirked, his lips curling. "You remember something, don't you?" he whispered into my ear, his breath warm on my face.He was right. The only image in my head was of him climbing up to my window and kissing me."You wish," I said, trying to sound confident. I didn't want him getting any ideas. Besides, I was furious that he had shown up at my front door without notice. And why was Julia entertaining these strangers? We didn't even

Ugh, every time I came here, all I could think about was how I caught him the other day. But at least the pool area had been cleared of any unsavory views.I asked to be dropped off at the nearest boot to school because I didn’t want other students getting the wrong idea, but Ares didn't listen. As we approached the big golden gate, he opened the roof of his car and sped in. The open roof just put us in the spotlight, making us more visible. I bet he felt like a god with that little stunt.I used to think I could avoid scandal, but now I was the scandal. So, I just let things play out for now until I could regain control.I planned to spend the rest of the school day at the pool. I didn’t want to attend any more classes or talk to anyone, especially not Ares or his brothers. His brothers used to be a pain, but now they were quiet and reserved.

    Ares's POVThe room was filled with a sterile scent, mingling with the quiet hum of machines. I stood by the corner, watching the doctors and nurses as they worked around Dahlia’s bed. She had been unconscious for two days now, the room bathed in a soft, almost dreamlike light.I could have punished her for not meeting me at the cafeteria, but I decided against it. Letting fate play out was sometimes more rewarding than any punishment. And fate had certainly played the game right into my hands this time.I had laid out my plans from the very beginning but it seemed like fate had other plans—Plans, that were almost similar to mine.Hermes and Apollo sure had a lot of explaining to do. They were supposed to be watching her every fucking time. Where the fuck were they?When Dahlia almost drowned in the pool, I was the one who saved her. The image of her struggling, desperate for help, was etched into my mind. I could almost feel the cold water, see the panic in her eyes. But now, as she

    Dahlia's POVThe room was dimly lit, the heavy curtains blocking out most of the daylight. It was stifling, filled with an oppressive silence that pressed down on me. I sat upright in bed, my back propped up by pillows, feeling trapped and restless.The room seemed to close in on me, the air thick with unspoken tension. Ares sat in the corner of my room, his presence a constant irritant. He had volunteered to stay with me for two weeks after saving me from drowning, but I couldn’t stand him.I hated him. I wanted him out of my room, and life, and I was so sure that the only way to do that was to frustrate him.He sat with his eyes closed, but I knew he wasn’t asleep. His posture was too rigid, too controlled. He looked annoyingly composed, his chiseled features relaxed in a way that made him seem almost serene.Despite my irritation, I couldn’t help but notice how attractive he looked, which only fueled my annoyance. I hated the way his presence affected me, the way his calm demeanor

    I watched as Dahlia swiped my black card to make yet another purchase. I could hardly believe how much she was enjoying this shopping spree. Her usual routine—home to school and back—had been broken, and she seemed to be relishing every moment of this newfound freedom.We wandered through the bustling market, Dahlia flitting from one stall to another with a lightness I hadn't seen in her before. She was actually smiling, her face alight with excitement."Look at these," Dahlia said, holding up a pair of earrings. "Aren't they pretty?"I nodded. "They're nice."She laughed and added them to the growing pile of purchases. "I've never had so much fun shopping before.""I can tell," I replied, watching her with a mix of curiosity and amusement.We continued through the market, Dahlia eagerly tasting various street foods and occasionally offering me a bite."Here, try this," she said, holding out a skewer of grilled meat.I shook my head.

    Dahlia lay in bed, her face turned towards the window, the light playing over her features. I watched her from my seat in the corner, scrolling through my phone more out of habit than interest. The past three days had been long, each one stretching out interminably as she rested from her near-drowning incident. The doctor had ordered two weeks of bed rest, and I had volunteered to stay with her, despite her obvious resentment.She shifted, glancing at me with a mix of curiosity and irritation. I could feel her gaze even though I didn’t look up from my phone. She was always trying to figure me out, trying to find a way to push me away. I knew she didn’t trust me, and I couldn’t blame her. But I had my reasons for staying, reasons she couldn’t understand.“I want to bake,” she announced suddenly, her voice challenging.I raised an eyebrow but didn’t respond immediately. Instead, I set my phone aside and stood up. Without a word, I walked out of the room, leaving her to wonder what I was

    After Ares kissed me, I ran to my room, the door slamming shut behind me. My heart pounded in my chest as I locked the door, needing the barrier between us, needing a moment to think. My hands were shaking, the adrenaline from our encounter still coursing through my veins. I leaned against the door, my breath coming in short, sharp gasps. The taste of his kiss lingered on my lips, and I could still feel the heat of his touch. My thoughts swirled in a chaotic dance, and I found it hard to focus on any one thing. How had it come to this? How had I let my walls down so quickly? Ares had barged into my life, breaking through the barriers I had so carefully constructed. At first, I had hated him for it. I hated the way he sauntered in with that arrogant smile, acting as if he belonged in my world. I remembered the first time I saw him, his presence dominating the room, his confidence infuriating yet magnetic. His very being seemed to challenge everything I stood for.But there was someth

This wasn’t part of the plan.Dahlia’s eyes fluttered open, her face reflecting a mix of confusion and surprise. I pulled away abruptly, the suddenness of my action leaving her stunned.

    Dahlia’s POVAfter grabbing the first swimsuit that caught my eye, I didn’t even bother to look at it. My mind was too clouded with anger and jealousy to care. I just needed to get out of his room. I clutched the swimsuit in my hand and stormed off to my room, my thoughts racing. I didn’t even notice Aris giggling softly behind me, likely amused that I had picked something so revealing without even realizing it.As I reached my room and slammed the door shut, I could feel the tension in my chest. What was I doing, feeling this way? It wasn’t like Ares and I were anything more than neighbors. Maybe we flirted a little, but that didn’t give me the right to be angry about what I saw in his wardrobe. But the thought of another girl being in his room, trying on those clothes, left a bitter taste in my mouth.

    Dahlia’s POVAfter breakfast, the uneasy feeling from my conversation with Aris still lingered. I tried to brush it off, but when Aris asked, “Do you want to go swimming with me?” it completely threw me off. Out of all the things he could have suggested, why swimming?“I don’t know how to swim,” I admitted, hoping that would be the end of it.“Okay,” he replied, “but you can still change into a swimsuit and join me. You don’t have to swim.”His persistence caught me off guard. “I’m not comfortable with that,” I said, trying to convey how much the idea unsettled me.“I’ll walk you to your room,” he said, completely ignoring my discomfort.I followed him reluctantly, my mind racing for a way out. When we reached my door, he stopped and waited outside while I went in to change. As soon as I stepped into my room, I breathed a sigh of relief.

I lost track of time, my mind spinning with feelings I couldn’t quite understand. The longer I sat there, the more tired I became, my thoughts drifting into a haze.Finally, as dawn began to break and light crept through the windows, I forced myself to stand up, my legs stiff from sitting too long. I let out a deep sigh and made my way to my room. Being close to Ares, even just outside his door, had felt necessary, like something I couldn’t ignore.Once I was in my room, I collapsed onto the bed, not even bothering to pull the covers over me. Exhaustion hit me hard, pulling me into sleep before I could resist. My eyes closed, and I was quickly lost to the dark world of dreams.But sleep didn’t bring any comfort. Instead, I found myself in a strange place, surrounded by thick fog. I called out, but my voice

    Dahlia's POVI had never encountered a place as grand as Ares' mansion. From the moment we crossed the threshold, it felt as though we had stepped into another realm—one filled with elegance, mystery, and untold stories. The entrance hall alone was awe-inspiring, with its towering ceilings and grand chandeliers casting a gentle light over the polished marble floors. Excitement bubbled within me as Ares began the tour."Follow me," he said, his deep voice echoing slightly in the vast space.

This wasn’t just about spending time with Dahlia; it was about seizing control and setting the stage for the final act of my scheme.Driving towards Dahlia’s house, I replayed the journey I had taken to break through her defenses.

I had always viewed her as a caged bird, and now that I had unlocked that cage, I was beginning to see the real Dahlia—a tender, beautiful girl who had learned to protect herself behind a façade of strength.As I in
