Ares bit his lip. His fingers clenched tightly from the tension. Ares wasn't afraid of Grey; he had never feared any enemy, but his anxiety stemmed from Keyara's presence. He feared what might happen when Keyara and Grey met, as it could trigger Keyara's memories and make her realize something.

Grey, who stood before the gate, grew impatient as the sound on the other side kept breaking up. He then shouted loudly, "Hello!!"

Ares sighed before speaking emphatically, "You know, Grey, that you were never welcomed in this house?"

"Oh, come on, Res, I'm offering a truce here. Isn't that enough? I came to your place alone, without my guards! Or are you still holding a grudge about the scar on your shoulder from two years ago?"

A thin smile appeared on Ares' face. "Will you forget when you smashed my monitor screens in this house?"

Hearing Ares' words, something inside Grey was triggered, like igniting a flame on dry wood. In an instant, it could burn rapidly. Who could forget the awful memor

    Ares walked closer to Grey and then extended his hand for a handshake.Grey gazed at the outstretched hand and reciprocated, allowing their hands, which had long felt like weapons ready to attack each other, to clasp. A truce was established.Grey then presented a paper bag containing a wine he had bought to impress Ares.Ares received the paper bag, opened it, and took out a green bottle with a slightly aged label. He traced the brand along the bottle and read the year of its making. The older the wine, the richer and more aromatic the taste.The servant who had been nearby, standing and waiting for orders, as anticipated, saw Ares beckon her to come closer. He handed her the wine bottle."Tell Margaret we have a special guest, and tonight's dinner should be exceptional," Ares said to the servant, who nodded in response.Ares walked towards the sofas and gestured with his hand, inviting Grey to sit on one of them.He chose a different sofa for himself, facing the one Grey had chosen.

    Lion continued to play happily, clapping his hands with joy, leaving Cassandra puzzled.On the one hand, she had just been notified that her boss was receiving a guest and feared that Mr. Ares would be angry. However, Lion's insistent crying forced her to rush and find Mr. Ares.Lion kept calling for "Daddy, daddy," as Cassandra reached the living room, she encountered a servant and immediately asked where Mr. Ares was."He's at the dining table," the servant replied. "Why, Miss Cassandra?" the servant inquired curiously."Lion keeps looking for his Daddy. He's been crying, so Miss Yara asked me to find Mr. Ares," Cassandra explained as she headed toward the dining room.Meanwhile, Keyara, who was now alone, stealthily sneaked out of her room. Even though Ares had instructed her to stay in her room and not leave, she couldn't resist when she found out Grey was in the house.At the dining table, luxurious food was spread all around. Chicken,

    Ares smiled, his hands initially spread on the dining table, then lifted, forming a triangle that supported his chin."Interesting..." Ares said, "You came here to challenge me. Does that mean there's no intention for a truce?"Grey shook his head, "This is just business, Res, and I think you and I are the same. We see business as a business. In business, there are winners and losers."Ares then picked up the bell on the side of the table and placed it upside down. Grey grabbed it and rang the bell, producing a jingling sound.Not long after, several servants appeared and began clearing the table while others brought dessert dishes. One of the servants pushed a metal tray and approached Grey from behind. He then placed a fruit pudding in front of Grey.Subsequently, the servant turned with a wheeled trolley and pushed it to Ares' side. He took out a similar snack but with cream on top this time."This is my chef's signature fruit pudding," A

    Keyara lowered her face and gazed in Grey's direction, a sigh escaping her lips."What do you expect me to say?" Keyara murmured desperately."Catty... you have too many secrets!" demanded Grey."You keep secrets from me too..." Keyara retorted, "I didn't know that you knew Ares!"Grey sighed, "You could say we're arch-enemies. There's a feud between us that seems to never be extinguished..."Hearing that, Keyara covered her mouth, then stepped back, her eyes widening, "If that's the case, we can't be together..." Keyara said with a somber look."Why? Is it because you're engaged to Ares or have a child with him?"Keyara squinted at Grey's words, "A child? With Ares?""Yes, the child with white hair. That's your child with Ares, right? Honestly, I feel foolish. When we slept together, I thought it was because you had feelings for me, but you already have a child with your fiancé!" Grey exclaimed, feeling annoyed as he br

    -Ares-Two hours earlierI was carrying Lion and about to invite Keyara for dinner. I wanted to bury all my suspicions about Yara. But when I opened the door, I saw Margaret, who seemed to be about to knock on my door."What's up?" I asked Margaret, who hurriedly approached me."Mr. Ares, there's a guest.""A guest?" I furrowed my brows, trying to remember if I had forgotten any appointments that would make them come to my residence so late at night. Besides, I rarely invite people over."Is there a guest?" even Keyara asked, her eyebrows furrowing.I shook my head and became curious about the guest's identity, so I looked at Margaret and asked, "Who?""His name is Grey Reed, sir," Margaret explained.Grey?Hearing that name, I became even more puzzled. The man who used to be close to me, who distanced himself just a few meters away, was now coming to my residence. It's true that Grey and

    Grey raised his hands in a gesture of helplessness due to the gun pointed at him. However, he couldn't resist asking something that had been on his mind for a long time."Why did you get engaged to a woman who looks like my wife? Don't you hate my wife?" Grey asked, even with the gun threatening him.Ares smiled. Grey's words were heard by Keyara, who squinted her eyes, not understanding their conversation."Why do you misunderstand like that, Grey? I'm engaged to her not because she looks like your wife but because she's my first love," Ares revealed truthfully. Keyara was indeed his first love."First love? Do you even have anything like that?" Grey appeared sarcastic.Regardless, Grey knew Ares, who lived like a machine, and his heart was never genuinely bound to any woman. Ares had been in several relationships but only lasted for a few weeks. For Ares, women were merely objects of desire, not vessels for sharing love."At least I only l

    Keyara appeared puzzled, and Ares's eyes demanded answers.That name had not been heard from Keyara's lips for sixteen years. It was a name she used to utter when they were still kids. Ares had buried that name along with Keyara's fading memories.However, that name slipped out of Keyara's mouth amid the intense tension. Had her memory returned?Keyara, gazing at Ares with confusion, could only respond by moving her finger and pointing toward Grey. Now, Ares's gaze shifted to Grey, and his forehead creased, creating a gap between his eyebrows."What does 'Gi' mean, Grey?" Ares asked, puzzled."That's my nickname..." Grey exclaimed, "More precisely, it's Keyara's affectionate nickname for me..." he added, biting his lip. In his eyes, he could picture young Keyara always tagging along and calling him in a cute and endearing tone, "Gi."Ares squinted, feeling puzzled. Something urgent pressed on his mind—an explanation about the name. But asking Keyara, who had lost her memory, would onl

    Grey assumed that Ares would laugh louder when he mentioned that he and Keyara were arranged to be married when they were kids. However, Ares' reaction was different. The man's mouth was silenced from laughter, and instead, his eyes sparkled with keen interest."You never told me about the arranged marriage. Weren't we best friends back then?" asked Ares, sounding disappointed."I just found out too. I used to think my parents were joking, but they were serious. If it wasn't for Keyara, maybe I would have outright refused. But because it's her, I believe in destiny and soulmates. I had a guilty conscience from our childhood when I made her lose her two front teeth. She didn't have teeth until she was nine years old," Grey explained.Ares' eyes widened in surprise. He was taken aback by the revelation Grey shared. He wanted to interrupt Grey's story and ask something that crossed his mind, but he held back, realizing that he was prying information from Grey instead of Grey voluntarily

    Keyara felt almost choked up seeing Grey arrive. She hadn't expected Grey to come at all. How did he come? Keyara looked towards her father, her eyes betraying curiosity. Seeing Mr. Oliver's gaze, Keyara knew that Mr. Oliver must have been the one to inform Grey that he should come.Grey burst in, then swiftly pulled Keyara's body out of the chair and embraced her tightly. Keyara even found it difficult to breathe for a moment."I'm grateful you're back, I truly had no idea where else to look for you!" Grey exclaimed with joy.Keyara tried to hold her breath as Grey continued to hold her tightly, but at the thirtieth second, she couldn't bear it any longer. She attempted to convey to Grey that she was having trouble breathing in such a tight embrace.Grey quickly released his embrace. He smiled with happiness."Ah, now that Grey is here. Grey should also take a seat," Keyara said.Grey nodded and promptly took a seat on their sofa."Where have you been, Key? What have you been doing,

    Keyara was startled, quickly gripping Ares' hand and then leaning over, getting closer to his face."Ares... you awake?!" Keyara asked with a mixture of anxiousness and joy.Ares' initial response was just a slow movement of his fingers, then his mouth moved gradually. Seeing Ares' lips moving, Keyara leaned in closer, placing her ear nearby. She could hear a faint and gentle voice."Yara..."Keyara immediately tightened her grip on Ares' hand. "Yes, I'm here...""Yara..." Ares' voice sounded weak. "Water..." He uttered, prompting Keyara to press the button to call the nurse.A few moments later, several nurses and doctors entered the ICU room. Keyara stepped back against the side wall, watching as the doctors busied themselves examining Ares, ensuring his condition, checking his vital signs, and his consciousness.Berry, standing behind the large glass window, looked on with joyful eyes. He was thankful that his boss had awakened from his coma.After a while, the doctor turned to fac

    Grey was seen fixing his tie and then admiring himself in the mirror. Today wasn't Sunday; he had rearranged his schedule and would arrive around noon. His plan for the day was to visit Keyara, take her out for a while, and then return to the office.Grey decided to take it slow, considering that Keyara hadn't regained her memories yet. It must have been quite a shock, but Grey was confident that if he reassured Keyara, their marriage could be restored.Thus, Grey whistled happily, imagining all the positive things in his mind. As he descended the stairs, his cheerful demeanor caught the attention of his mother, Ms. Maple."Grey, why do you look so delighted? Is there something pleasing you?" Ms. Maple inquired upon seeing Grey's joyful attitude.Ah, Grey smirked and realized he hadn't shared the joyful news of Keyara's return with his parents yet."Well, you could say that," Grey replied, then approached and joyfully kissed his mother's cheek."Oh, are you going to share it with me?"

    "Miss..." Berry tried to gently pull Keyara back to prevent her from falling."Now, where is he?" Keyara asked, her voice trembling. Tears had already started streaming down her cheeks."Mr. Ares is currently at the hospital," Berry replied.Keyara clenched her fists, her hands pressed against her lips in distress. "Bring me there, Berry. I need to see him," Keyara said, her voice quivering as she fought back tears.Berry nodded. He would do just that. Berry guided Keyara towards his car, where the headlights still illuminated them. He opened the back door for her to make it easier for her to get in. Keyara looked uneasy as she got in, sitting down with shallow breaths.For the first time, Keyara felt as if her heart had plunged into a dark swamp. Upon hearing the news of Ares being in a coma, she felt like quicksand was pulling her down and ready to swallow her.Berry drove with occasional glances back through the rearview mirror.

Her heart felt wounded. Even though they were her parents, hearing them say that the child she had given birth to was unwanted hurt deeply. Keyara slowly retreated and then re-entered her room.Keyara curled up on the bed, burying her face in her knees. Her feelings were crushed. While she knew the truth about Ares and Lion, who were considered her birth parents, were unremembered entities to her. Even Grey. Although Keyara had once been infatuated with Grey and thought about him, her memories of Grey were limited to their meeting in Spain.Keyara felt like she didn't belong here. She didn't recognize this room. Despite her many photos displayed on the walls, she didn't know any of those faces.Keyara pressed her face into her knees, drowning her confusion and sadness.It seemed like just yesterday her

She had been deceived, for a very long time.Keyara suddenly bit her lip, how could she have been in love with Ares back then? Letting that man claim her, while he had already committed a grave wrong against her.Keyara still seemed visibly shaken. Trying to process all the new information was like attempting to digest an overwhelming wave. She felt the need to be alone, closing and locking her door. Though her surroundings felt unfamiliar due to her memory issues, she recognized that this was her room.From behind the closed door, a knocking sound reached her ears. Keyara hastily wiped her tears away. Clearing the traces of her emotions that were still lingering."Who is it?" Keyara asked, her voice slightly louder than usual."Key, it's me..."

    Ares wiped his nose. The thick, red liquid streaked across his hand. He remembered a time in junior high when he had bled, back when he faced bullying. But Ares wasn't one to back down when confronted by oppressors. He fought back, leaving his tormentors with broken bones and a call to their parents. Ares never stopped fighting.Afterward, he never allowed anyone to make him bleed again. He delved into boxing, karate, and marksmanship. He fortified his body to ensure no one dared lay a hand on him again.And now, someone had made his nose bleed again. It was the man who had been his friend in the past, now turned into an enemy and a rival for Keyara's love. Ares was in his worst state.

    Ares removed his helmet. Then he opened the gate. The house appeared deserted. He hesitated slightly. Bringing Keyara to this place, what now?Initially, he wanted to step back, but something in his heart urged him to move forward again. Now or never.His feet, which were initially uncertain, took another step. The open door revealed no one. He proceeded with caution. Ares entered the house without permission.Grey's eyes widened when he saw a figure entering the living room. Quickly, Grey stood up."You!" Grey exclaimed, rising to his feet.Mr. Oliver turned around, equally surprised by the middle-aged man's presence.Ares stepped into the separate family room, formed by a partition that resembled a door."How did you get here?!" Grey demanded.Mr. Oliver stood up. Then unexpectedly, the middle-aged man approached and slapped Ares' face. The man who appeared out of nowhere was now taken aback.Ares held his stinging cheek.

His eyes were intense, laden with pressure, while Doctor David seemed to try to remain composed.Ares smiled, "Even if Grey were to know, logically, no one else should know. Especially not an outsider like you, knowing about Keyara's situation. Unless... you were the one who leaked the information to Grey himself. Am I wrong in my suspicion?" Ares turned around now, finding Doctor David pale in place.Ares seemed to clench his fists, then he asked again, "How much were you paid to provide that information to Grey?"Doctor David shook his head, "No... it's not like that...""HOW MUCH WERE YOU PAID!!" Ares raised his voice.Anyone who heard Ares' escalated tone would surely feel fear. Ares always managed to instill horror and fear when he bared his angry fangs."On... One hundred thousand..."
