I was going to say something when I saw Val's body tense up. Following her gaze, I immediately knew why. Instinctively, I pulled her close, holding her waist and looking into her eyes more intimately than I did on the night we had sex. "I'm here, don't be scared." I said, and immediately it sounded so cheesy to me. Did it just come out of my mouth? A lot has really been happening to me since that sex with her, I couldn't explain it. "Hey Uncle... and his lady or perhaps, escort." Daniel said, approaching us where we stood. Did he just refer to Valerie as an escort? I clenched my fist. Ares, we are in public, calm down. "Ignore him." Valerie whispered. "Still reeled that I'm with your ex wife, huh? You don't have to be. I'll take better care of her." I paused and scoffed. "Hold on, it's not like you even took care of her but rather you stole from her and tried to kill her and now, look at you, spending it all on your next victim." "What the hell?" The lady beside him excla

    As I slowly opened my eyes, the bright light of the morning sun greeted me, illuminating the unfamiliar surroundings. I was met with a colourful array of male blazers hung on a cloth rack, a stark contrast to my own bedroom.The realisation dawned on me that I was in Ares' bedroom, and my gaze instinctively shifted to the empty space beside me. He had already left for work, leaving me to sleep in peace. I admired his considerate nature and work ethic, a trait that set him apart from his nephew.The scent of his masculinity lingered in the air, a reminder of the passionate night we shared. I smiled to myself, feeling grateful for the blissful experience.After freshening up, I made my way to the living room, where I was greeted by the maids' cheerful salutations. "Good morning, ma'am," they chimed in unison, their respect evident in their bowed heads.As I entered the dining area, a sumptuous breakfast spread lay before me, a feast fit for royalty. I couldn't help but wonder if the mai

    "Damn that bastard Dante!" I bellowed, slamming my phone to the ground in a fit of rage. My trusted friend, Steve, attempted to calm me down, his voice a tranquil oasis amidst the storm of my anger. "Let's find a way around this, Ares. Don't let it get to you."But his words fell on deaf ears. I was beyond consolation, my fury raging like a wildfire."The news is spreading like wildfire, Steve! It's everywhere! That lying Dante wants to destroy my image, and I can't just sit back and take it." I paced around the room, my anger and frustration threatening to consume me whole.Steve's question pierced the air, "Who could be behind this?" I shook my head, feeling helpless for the first time in my life."I have no idea, Steve. But I need to find out, and fast." My mind raced with the implications - my investors, my family, and worst of all, Valerie. How would I ever explain this to her? How would I convince her that I'm not the monster the news has made me out to be?Steve's words struck

    I watched the press conference live on TV, my anger simmering with each passing moment. Had Ares seen my texts and calls, only to ignore me? His contradictory behavior baffled me - one moment he was sweet and caring, the next, arrogant and fierce.As evening fell, I waited in my room, trying to convince myself that I didn't care if he came home or not. But my actions betrayed my words, as I found myself constantly glancing out the window, hoping to catch a glimpse of his car pulling into the driveway.Despite my attempts to appear nonchalant, worry crept in, gnawing at my mind. Was he in danger? Had the authorities taken him into custody for the crime he was accused of? The uncertainty was suffocating, leaving me restless and on edge.As I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind replayed the press conference I had watched earlier. Ares' words had been convincing, and I was sure they had resonated with many who had doubted him.I, too, had harbored doubts, and I couldn't believe

    As I opened my eyes, I found myself once again in Ares' bed, a familiar scene that had become a regular occurrence. I couldn't recall the last time I had woken up in my own room. Ares' sleeping face was the first thing I saw, his lips inches from mine, his gentle breathing a soothing sound. He looked endearing, his mouth puckered in a childlike pout. I was captivated by his peaceful expression, my gaze lingering on his features.But as I tried to slip out of bed, his hand instinctively grasped mine, holding me in place. "Good morning," I whispered, smiling. Ares yawned, his eyes still closed, but as they opened, his hazel gaze locked onto mine with an intensity that made my heart race. It was as if he had never loved before, but now, he was consumed by it, unable to tear his eyes away.He playfully asked, "Won't I get a morning kiss?" His words were met with a gentle pull, drawing me closer to him on the bed. His eyes burned with a passion that left me breathless."Cheesy this early

    Valerie's POVI emerged from Mrs. Cha's office, my mind preoccupied with the possibility of pregnancy. Ares greeted me with a concerned expression, "All done?" I nodded curtly, forcing a brief smile to conceal my worry.Ares stepped closer, his eyes fixed on the injection site, where I still pressed the cotton wool to stem the bleeding. "Did it hurt?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.I shook my head, "Not at all. I didn't feel a thing." Ares teased, "Oh, so you're a superwoman, huh?" His eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled, his happiness radiating from his very presence.But I couldn't shake off the thought - would he still smile at me with the same joy if the test results confirmed my pregnancy? Only time would tell."You're always teasing me," I said, looking away from him with a playful roll of my eyes."Am I? I'm just having a conversation with you," Ares replied, his grin still in place.I chuckled, "Same thing, silly."As we sat on the bench, enjoying a lighthearted

    Valerie's POV Ares' gaze locked onto mine, his eyes revealing nothing. I swallowed hard, my throat constricting with anxiety. "What does it say?" I asked, struggling to maintain a calm tone despite my inner turmoil. His response was swift and direct. "You're pregnant, Valerie." The words hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me winded. My hands instinctively flew to my stomach, as if to protect the tiny life growing within. Ares' voice cracked as he thanked the doctor, a stutter I'd never heard before. "Th-thank you, doctor." It was a fleeting moment of vulnerability, a glimpse of fear or uncertainty, perhaps. I couldn't quite decipher it, but it only added to my own trepidation. The room seemed to spin around me, the news sinking in like a weight. Pregnant. The word echoed in my mind, filling me with a mix of emotions: shock, fear, uncertainty, and a hint of wonder. Ares approached me, our eyes locking in a silent standoff. The tension between us was palpable, but neither of

    The look in Valerie’s eyes was heart wrenching, I couldn’t even believe I was the cause behind the pain she was feeling right now. Fine I didn’t react the way I was supposed to react back at the hospital, but damn! How on earth was I meant to know how to react. I’ve never had a pregnant wife or girlfriend.All these was also new to me.“Don’t leave me Valerie. Stay with me, for us, for our unborn pup.”The words left my mouth before I even had to reason it. I watched as her face softened and she dropped the pink sweater she was holding and ran her fingers through her hair. She was breaking down. I know she has gone through a lot and I chose to put her through so much worse?What kind of man am I?Days ago, she was just a mere pawn in my revenge plot but when did I really care if she’s happy or sad? If she lives or die? I guess I could say it was ever since I saved her and not just when we actually got intimate.Her warm eyes beckoned me for words of affirmation as she stared at me the

    Valerie's povI squinted as the warm rays of light filtered through the window blinds.I smiled, reaching out to Ares and only met a cold bed beside me.That's how it's meant to be. I really don't know the reason why Ares was acting all weird yesterday.But to be honest I loved that side of him.I could vividly remember the way he laughed when I accidentally spilled ice cream on his shirt or the way he giggled like a kindergartner as ice cream dribbled down his chin as he tried to imitate Looney tunes.I laughed as I sat up right and yawned as I pulled out my phone from under the pillow and groaned as I realised the time.After managing to pull myself out of bed, I pulled the straps of my nightie tight and moved to the bathroom to brush my teeth before going down for breakfast.I felt different, in fact I was different.I stared at myself.The Valerie I was seeing was a strong determined woman who had survived all odds.I subconsciously caressed my stomach with so much love.I had a l

    Valerie's povThe next day, the hospital room was flooded with a soft, early morning light. I sat up in bed, feeling the remnants of exhaustion from the previous day's emotional rollercoaster. Ares was by my side, as promised, his presence a steady anchor in the sea of uncertainty that had surrounded us.The doctor entered the room, a kind smile on her face. "Good morning, Valerie. How are you feeling today?""I'm feeling better," I replied, my voice stronger than before. "Still a bit tired, but much better.""That's good to hear," she said, pulling up a chair beside the bed. "Before we discharge you, there are some important things we need to discuss regarding your pregnancy. It's crucial that you follow these guidelines to ensure both your health and the baby's."Ares leaned forward, his expression serious and attentive. I felt a rush of warmth at his dedication, and he held my hand firmly, grounding me.The doctor began outlining the necessary precautions. "First and foremost, rest

    Valerie's povPain shot through my head as if a sledgehammer was dislodging it. I gasped and sat up, my body drenched in sweat, my mind a fog of confusion and fear. The room was stark and sterile, the fluorescent lights above me harsh and unrelenting."Ares?" I croaked, my voice barely a whisper. Just as I spoke, the door creaked open, and Ares rushed in, his face etched with worry and relief."Valerie!" he exclaimed, hurrying to my side. His hands trembled as he reached out to touch me, but I flinched away instinctively. The hurt on his face was palpable, a mirror to the pain I felt inside.My mind raced to piece together what had happened. The last thing I remembered was going to the garden. I had slipped, and then everything went blank. My hands flew to my belly, a desperate need to feel the life growing inside me. Tears streamed down my face as I realized the implications of my fall."Valerie, please talk to me," Ares pleaded, his voice thick with emotion. But I couldn't form the

    Ares povI waited in the sterile, cold waiting room, every minute stretching into an eternity. Each second that ticked by felt like a needle puncturing my heart. Valerie's lifeless body haunted my thoughts, and I couldn't shake the image of her pale face. My mind raced with a million thoughts, but one dominated them all: this was my fault."Damn it, if only I was ready to read with her. It's all my fault," I muttered under my breath, my voice choked with guilt and regret. Tears, hot and bitter, welled up in my eyes. For the first time in years, I cried because of someone. Valerie had found a way straight to my heart, and it was now, in this moment of crisis, that I realized just how deeply she had embedded herself there.The thought of losing her or our unborn child was unbearable. If anything happened to them, I would never be able to forgive myself. I felt helpless, sitting there, unable to do anything but wait. An hour went by, gurneys passed by, and doctors in masks hurried throug

    Ares povAs I left the room, a sense of urgency gnawed at me. I needed to find Valerie, to explain everything to her, to make sure she understood. I went to her room, my footsteps quickening with every step, but she wasn't there. The neatly made bed and untouched belongings only heightened my anxiety. I checked the kitchen next, hoping she might be preparing one of her favorite herbal teas, but again, she wasn't there. The air was filled with a stillness that seemed almost unnatural.I hurried to the drawing room, the place she often retreated to for a moment of peace, but it was empty too. The room, usually so filled with her presence, felt cold and uninviting. Panic began to claw at my insides. Where could she be? I was about to head upstairs to grab my phone, thinking maybe she had left a message or a clue about where she had gone, when a piercing scream echoed from the garden. The sound was followed by the frantic shuffling of feet on gravel.My heart pounded in my chest as I race

    Valerie's povEach time I visited Alpha Allen's house, I couldn't help but notice how much nicer he seemed to get. It was as if he was making a concerted effort to win me over, and I had to admit, it was working. The kindness and warmth he showed were a stark contrast to the stories Ares had told me about their strained relationship.The next day, I found myself standing at the grand entrance of Alpha Allen's estate once again. The sun was shining, casting a golden hue over the lush gardens that surrounded the mansion. As I approached the door, a sense of anticipation and determination settled over me. Today we would be talking about how Ares might want to help him though it'll e extremely hard for him to even hear his father out for a second time.The servants greeted me with smiles and respectful bows, their demeanor as welcoming as ever. It was clear they had been instructed to treat me with the utmost care and consideration. I couldn't help but feel a bit flattered, though I knew

Once again, I had fallen asleep in Ares' room. The thought made me blush heavily as I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stood up.His scent lingered in the room, a comforting reminder of the man I had come to love so deeply. I made my way to the bathroom, the cool tiles under my feet waking me up fully. A quick glance at the clock told me it was late morning."Ares must have gone to the office already," I murmured to myself as I stepped into the shower. The warm water cascaded over me, washing away the remnants of sleep. I let my thoughts drift to Ares, his smile, his touch, and the way he made me feel like the most important person in the world. He has proven himself to be everything.I took my time in the shower, letting the water soothe my muscles. When I finally stepped o

    Are's povSitting at my desk, I couldn’t help but smile. The office was quiet, a stark contrast to the usual bustling energy that surrounded the turnaround firm I owned. It was a sanctuary of sorts, where I could immerse myself in the relentless pursuit of saving struggling companies.Today, however was different as my thoughts were far from the chaos of balance sheets and rescue plans. I held a newly framed photo of Valerie, my heart swelling with an emotion I never thought I’d feel again: love.I'm really surprised I could actually still fall in love after what happened before. I don't even want to be reminded again.Valerie had entered my life unexpectedly, turning my world upside down in the best possible way.Firstly she was just a pawn in my game but now I got to say, she'd be my end. The photograph captured her essence perfectly — her radiant smile, the way her eyes seemed to hold a universe of warmth and compassion.I still couldn't believe how quickly I had fallen for her, bu

    Valerie's POVAs I leaned my head into the soft leather of Ares' car, a wave of tranquility washed over me. I'd never felt more at peace. A smile crept across my face as I thought about Alex. That little boy had found his way into my heart faster than a freight train. Most people would think I'd resent him because he's my ex-husband's love child, but that wasn't the case at all. He's such a sweet child who didn't deserve to see any more of Daniel's wrath.I ran my hand unconsciously over my belly. The thought of my own baby filled me with joy. I couldn't wait to shower my child with so much love that they'd likely feel overwhelmed by it. I smiled and turned to Ares, who had been watching me intently."Lunch?" he asked, breaking the silence."Alright, dear, we'll go to a restaurant!" I nodded happily and turned to stare out the window, watching the landscape blur as we drove.When we arrived at the restaurant, I insisted on a more casual place. I didn't want too much attention, and I'v
