Ares povMy heart warmed at the sight of Valerie curled up on the bed, already fast asleep. The soft rise and fall of her chest was almost like a sedative to me. It reminded me of my much needed rest. But I couldn't, I've got a lot of things to handle.Steve breezed into the room, making his presence known, and stood beside me, also watching her."Let's leave her to rest, there's something you should know." The urgency in Steve's voice was clear.I walked to Val's side, leaning down to drop a gentle kiss on her forehead."Oh quit the PDA, lover boy," Steve teased, pulling me out of the room. The door clicked shut gently behind us, leaving Valerie in her peaceful slumber.She really needed that sleep. When she wakes up she'll explain every single thing."What's the matter?" I asked, my concern mounting. Steve wouldn't just enter the room like that unless something did come up."Two of the assailants are dead," Steve revealed, his tone grave."What?" I furrowed my brows, quickening my p

Valerie's povAres stared at me like I'm some broken doll.I smiled at him to let him know that I am fine.I am a strong independent woman now. I'm not just going to give my heart out for lease to receive it back in a mess.Yeah, I accept the fact that I was the most gullible human on earth back when I was with Daniel.To hell! I can remember vividly when he had a rubber nipple in his pocket. I found it while arranging the room.I asked this man why he was with it and he said his friend's wife forced him to feed her kid and that he didn't realise when he had it on him.He then kissed my forehead and told me not to bother myself about it.Now I only feel extremely disgusted with myself.Snapping back to reality, I leaned closer and studied the photoThe child was beautiful, with soft blue eyes just like his mother's and dark hair like his despicable father. A little boy, innocent in all the chaos that surrounded him. I sighed and placed my head on Ares' shoulder. He pulled back slightl

Are's povInstead of me going home, I went straight to the office and called Steve to pick me up later on.I had already ordered six bottles of margaritas and wine.It'll be my little punishment. I hope Valerie forgives me. Before I even went for the interview, I checked on her and heard her cry that broke something within me, something I never knew existed.I mixed them all up and began drinking. It wasn't my usual style but at least I've got to forget about what happened one way or the other.I made her cry.I drowned my sorrows, emptying bottle after bottle until my vision blurred into a hazy fog. I barely registered the door creaking open, followed by hurried footsteps.Steve burst in, eyes wide with concern. "What the hell have you done to yourself?" he snapped, knocking the third bottle from my hand. It clattered to the floor as he hauled me up. He dragged me to the car, his grip firm yet gentle.My jacket lay haphazardly beside me, and my tie hung crooked. I was a mess, mumblin

Valerie's povThe train of the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped. Up to three cars behind us and four at our front.The gentle hum of the engine ceased, and the soft click of the doors unlocking signalled that we had arrived.The grandness of the car didn't comfort me.I was nervous, my palms slightly damp, but Ares remained surprisingly calm.He looked confident, majestic even, as if he didn't care if we got the seal today. Today was the day we had been waiting for, the day Ares' father summoned us to the family estate.Meanwhile, we had another mission of we have to execute more like I have to execute: I had to steal the seal, no matter what.Ares has already helped me so much, and this was the only way I could repay him.I felt Ares' hand skim my back in a comforting gesture, and I turned to look at him. His eyes met mine with a reassuring gaze."It'll be fine, dear. Remember, it's a pear-shaped key. It should probably be connected to his phone pouch, alright?" he said softly.I nodded,

Ares povUnconsciously, I circled my fingers around her back, drawing lazy circles. It's already five am in the morning, and she's still very much deep asleep.I smiled to myself and made to pull my arm from under her head, but instead, Valerie wrapped her arms tightly around my waist, pinning me in place. Seems like I was stuck here till when she was ready to wake up.I pulled my phone from under my pillow and almost immediately, Valerie dry heaved and quickly ran out to the bathroom, grabbing the sheets along with her. I panicked and ran after her.She was already doubled over on the toilet seat, emptying her stomach. I pulled her hair up and away from her face and patted her back. When she was done, she rinsed her mouth while I grabbed a towel for her to dry up with.Just as I stood before her, she turned and made to stand, coming face to face with me."Oh my goodness, Ares, you could have at least grabbed clothing!" She scolded me as she turned away, her face flushed."I was worri

Valerie's povI smiled as I watched the trees pass by, the greenery blurring into a sea of life as our car sped along the highway.The landscape was a comforting blur, reminding me of simpler times.At least everything in I and Ares' life has been settled.Today was a day of purpose, a day to give back, and my heart swelled with anticipation as I thought about the charity program.I had always live giving out to the less privileged.The anticipation of helping those in need brought a genuine smile to my face.The car pulled up to the grand entrance of the venue, a beautifully restored old building that now served as the headquarters for the international orphanage network. As I stepped out, I was greeted by the warm, appreciative smiles of the officials. Their eyes sparkled with hope and gratitude, making me feel like I was about to do something truly meaningful.Inside, the hall was bustling with activity. Children of all ages were engaged in various activities, their laughter echoin

Ares povThe meeting room was suffused with the glow of the large projection screen, casting a blue hue across the faces of the foreign investors and board members.My face remained grim and stoic as I sat at the head of the table, absorbing the detailed financial projections and stock market discussions that flowed around me.At least my company has been on a higher rise since!The room was filled with the low hum of serious conversation.The foreign investors spoke with a mix of enthusiasm and caution, their accents lending an international flavour to the proceedings.It was quite annoying heading up to five to six different accents you know!Charts and graphs flickered on the screen, showing the company's performance over the past quarter.“Our market share has seen a steady increase in the Asian sector,” one of the directors pointed out, his voice steady but urgent. “However, we must address the dip in the European markets. Mr Ares, your thoughts?”I nodded, my expression unchangi

Valerie's PovI glanced at Mr. Ares and stood up immediately, my anger boiling over unexpectedly. "What if this is a trap?"He frowned at the obvious tone of my voice and patted the boy's back in assurance."Please call over one of your secretaries to watch over him, Mr. Ares. We need to talk!" My voice was firm, and the tone pushed him away.Mr. Ares? Since when did I call him that?He nodded all the same and called in the head secretary to come and take the boy. The boy threw a huge tantrum as he held on tightly to me, and Ares frowned.I managed to calm the boy down, and the instant the door was shut, I shot him a hard glare as I stood up."That was no way to behave in front of a child!" I scolded him because I didn't find it anywhere near amusing. Like, why was he asking me this? Couldn't he see the scared expression on the little boy's face?"He's the enemy's child!""But still a child, okay?! He doesn't deserve that!" I was angry, really very angry.He sighed as he stared at me,

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

Valerie's povI sighed to myself as I unwrapped the blanket and reached out to the other side of the bed, only to find it empty.A small grunt escaped my lips as I sat up, running a hand through my hair. 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
