Ares Anderson"Hello boy." Carson greeted me with a hug. "Can you stay a little more?" I asked and he chuckled."How about you come to New York with Athena?" He said patting my shoulder."We'll do that, you should here often too. She will be happy if you come here often to eat at her restaurant." I said and he nodded."She told me.. that you helped her." Carson said as he pulled me to walk with him."And?""She's thankful. Thank you, Ares. Thank you for believing my daughter." I smiled."She's talented and she proved me right. She's amazing." I said as I turned to her. She was busy hugging her mom and her brothers. "Athena, one thing about her is that.. she is selfless. I don't know if I can say if that's her weakness or her kindness at heart." Carson said."Do you know that she went to LA with her own money? She worked so hard night and day to prove herself. I'm counting on you, Ares, to take care of her." He added."I promise. You can count of me. I'm planning to keep her for a lo
As soon as we got to LA, I told my family that we will go back separately. Athena being her cheerly self bid her goodbyes to my family. We took an uber back to her apartment. "So good to be back!" She squealed as she plopped to the sofa."What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I bursted angrily and she turned to me."What?" "You think I didn't know? You're trying to play matchmaker for me and Madeline!" I was mad. Hell, I was more than mad. "Ares, I don't know-" She stood up."You don't know?! You literally pushing Madeline to me everytime you have the chance and I bet she thanked you lots huh?!" I walked towards her and looked straight into her eyes."What's your motive? Didn't I tell you that she was my ex-fiancee? Why the fuck.. are you trying to do?!" "You want.. the truth?" She asked calmly. "What truth?!" I was furious."I want to get out from this relationship." She said looking at me flatly like she's bored. I was taken back because of her words."No.""I've been cheating on
Athena Matthew I was cooking when Ares bursted into my kitchen. He looked like he has lost his mind. He turned to me and walked towards me. "What are you doing?!" I asked as I took a step back. I looked at him in horror and he grabbed my hand. He dragged me out from the restaurant without saying a word. He opened his car and pushed me inside. "Ares, what are you doing?!" I was trying to runaway. He put the seatbelt on and closed the door."Ares!!" I screamed as I tried to open the car door. It's locked, he must have lock it from the outside. He got in."Ares.. please.. if you want to talk, let's talk! Please.." I begged but he ignored me. "Ares.. please.. let's talk.." "Ares! Pull over.. pull over! Please.. you're scaring me!" I screamed at him but he ignored me. His face was cold, his eyes were dark and he's not Ares. He drove his car faster through the highway going outside of LA. "Ares, please.. don't do this! Let's talk.." "Ares.. this is not you!" We arrived at a mansion a
Ares wasn't joking when he told me he would keep me. He was going insane.I called my parents and they confirmed it. Apparently Ares flew to New York to ask permission to force me into marrying me. My mom didn't agree at first but my dad was on board the second Ares finished his sentence. Never in my life, I would witness my parents betraying me. I called my brothers and they told me the same thing as my parents said. We have dinner together but none of us saying anything. I can't believe I'm married to this man. I signed it.. myself.I signed the license myself.I need to repeat that a thousand times. "So wife.. should watch movies tonight?" He asked."No, thanks.""You're still mad? I think I should be the one who's mad.." I glared at him and he gave me his biggest smile."I should have not sign that paper.""I will force you.. either way you'll get married to me anyway." He said proudly."I was in love with someone else.." I said and he laughed me."Yeah, funny. Clara told me ev
Epilogue Ares is not leaving me alone. Ares told me that he wanted to have a big wedding ceremony but I told him no. He was not happy but he didn't have any other choice but to listen to me. He let me work as a chef on weekdays but on the weekend, he made me follow him around. He didn't even let me go for a second. I'm still mad at him for forcing me to marry him but he just doesn't care. He told me that he's happy and he knew that I love him. I don't know what happened but Ares' dad forced him and Killian to go with him to Vancouver for an event and to sell their apartment there. Ares hated the idea when his dad forced him to come alone. Apparently Viola told him about Ares dragging me everywhere and I'm so thankful for her. At least, I get the bed for two nights. "Be a good girl, Athena." He said before leaving and I just rolled my eyes at him. As soon as he left the house, I called Clara. We're going for a girls night and Viola is joining us. We're going to have fun and get wa
"Evelyn!" My brother, Evan, called."What's up?" I asked."I'm going to work and if you want to go out, don't forget to lock the door!" "Okay, don't worry!" I said as I walked out from my room. "Good. If something haopened.. please call me." I nodded and with that he left to work. My name is Evelyn Holder and I'm 18 years old who just graduated from highschool. My mom passed away because of cancer 2 years ago and as for my dad, my mom left him years ago. I never knew the reasons why she left him but I'm guessing he's an evil man? After my mom passed away, my brother has been working so hard to keep food on the table. I worked a lot of part time job too to help. He's older than me by 5 years and he's been working in one of big companies in America. He worked in finance team. I wish I can help him more soon, I don't want him to work hard alone. Now, I'm working at a bookstore. I love it because I can enjoy while making money. My phone rang and it's Jenny."Hey, where are you?" She
"Do I look okay?" I asked my brother and he nodded."You look beautiful, Ev." He smiled and I let out a sigh of relieve. "Really?" I looked at the mirror to check my outfit. I wore a short off shoulder blue dress. I curled my hair loosely and put some make up on. I slung my bag and put my phone there. "Come on." He said and I followed him to grab a cab to go to the venue. The party will take place in a 5 star hotel. When we arrived and walked inside, I can't help but admiring the decorations and how luxurious the hotel is. Not to mention that there's a lot of people here. "You can go around and grab something light to eat. I'm going to find someone. Will you be okay?" Evan asked me as he looked around."Of course." I assured him. I walked towards the food and drink section. I ate them on the side and it's so delicious. Everything taste so good here, I took a sparkling drink and sipped it. I love the taste. I walked to the cake section and I tripped all of the sudden. I fell and I
"Sasha, this is my daughter, Evelyn. Please do whatever she wants and listen to everything she needs." My dad said to who I assumed the hair stylist. "Hello Evelyn, I'm Sasha. I will be your hair stylist for today." She said and I smiled."Nice to meet you." "You're already beautiful, we just need a little touch up, that's all." She grabbed my hand and pulled me away from my dad."I'll see you in a few hours, Ev. Sasha, call my secretary when she's done, I'll pick her up." My dad said and I nodded. "Don't worry, Mr. Holder." Sasha said and she pulled me into a room. There's clothes, shoes, hair related tools, lots of make up and I turned to Sasha. "You're going to love the makeover, but first.. do you have any.. request? For your hair.. or maybe make up?" She asked as she sat me down. "Uhmm.. no.. I don't have anything I want.""How about you trust me?" She said and I raised my eyebrows. A little skeptical with her because I never.. change. Let alone.. having a makeover."I like
2 years later.. "Juliet!" I turned to see Hanni screaming my name from afar. I chuckled seeing her and opened my arms widely."I miss you!" I said as she got into my arms. She hugged me tightly, it's been a while since we'be seen each other. She came to London to celebrate my graduation with me. "Hello Dante." I greeted Dante and gave him a brief hug. "Congratulations on finishing school, Jules." Dante said."Thank you!" "We will the folks come?" She asked."They'll come in a few hours, let's go to my apartment! I bought us food!" We got out from the airport and I drove back to my apartment. Hanni can't stop talking about her new business and I'm so happy for her. I'll be going home next month and the launch will take place pretty close.I bought lots of food already because I know they're staving. Hanni ate a lot while Dante was busy eating her left overs. Hanni and Dante's relationship is pretty cute because Hanni is loud while Dante is a good listener. He's not the type who wil
Juliet NollanWesley was trying his best to prevent me from going to London. He hates Darren more for supporting me than when we announced that we're dating. He was begging me and he will pretend to not listen when I talked about how excited I am. I went to London with my grandparents and I loved it even more. Darren and Hanni have been helping me pack and I'm so excited to go there.I've been counting days till I go and Wesley still hate it. I'm going to London tonight and I can't wait for a new chapter in my life. I knocked on Wesley's door and he opened it. He looked at me annoyed that he failed to cancel the plane ticket this time. Yes, he cancelled my flight a few times."Aren't you going to say good bye?" "Don't talk to me about that shit.." He hissed."I told you I'll come home often and I'll hang out with you more often." I said as he gestured me to get inside."Yeah.. no.""Wesley.""Juliet, we're over with this conversation. You won and you're going.." "But I want you to
Juliet Nollan"Come in." My dad called me to his studies and walked in there completely nervous. Everytime Wesley got out of there, his face was just.. on the floor. "Yes, dad." "Sit down." He said and he took off his glasses as he gestured me to sit down. I sat down and he looked at me seriously."Did I do something bad?" "No.""Uhmm.. did you get mad at your credit card balance?" I asked carefully because I bought.. some new gadgets to help me brainstorm my ideas. "No.""What is it then? I'm pretty sure.. I did nothing wrong these days." I said confidently."You're going to London, we can transfer you there for 2 years and have you finish your degree there." My eyes widen and looked at him disbelief. "I can?" "Yes, all the documents are finalized and all you need to do is just to.. go there on September." He said."Thank you!" I said as I walked towards him for a hug. He got up and hugged me. I pulled back and he showed me his iPad. "You'll go to Europe in less than two weeks
Juliet NollanDarren didn't even text me or call me for a day. I was anxious for the whole day and Hanni was so worried for me. I swear I almost cry in class because I kept thinking of Darren but didn't even dare to text him. As soon as the class finished, I got out and locked myself in the toilet. I cried.It's been a day but it felt like days for me. Hanni kept trying to talk to me but I was not in the mood to respond. I was just crying and crying. "I'll be outside, I'll wait for you at the cafeteria." I'm so thankful that she decided to give me some space. I kept crying and crying until I have no tears left to cry. I walked out from the toilet and walked to the cafeteria to see Hanni busy calling someone. She was going crazy and when she saw me, she immediately ended it. She hugged me and then I told her that I want to be left alone. I told her to go home instead of waiting for me. She nodded and left leaving me in the cafeteria alone. I turned off my phone and decided to go
Juliet Nollan"Who picked this dress?" He asked as he took a sip of water."Why? I should wear something like this more often." I said and I took a bite of the burger."No. I will dress you next time. I'll buy you a colorful nun clothes." I glared at him and he avoided my eyes."Funny.""I can buy all colors if you want.""No thanks, I don't like your style of clothing." "That's rude." He said and I chuckled."Don't be annoying ass, you love me in this dress." I hissed."I like it for my eyes only." "Yeah, you selfish bastard." I said as I kept eating."You look beautiful." He said and I can't help but smile. I turned to him and he was busy looking up to the sky."Dante and Hanni have something going on.." I said."I know." "You know?!" I looked at him disbelief. "Why didn't say anything?" "I wasn't sure, I heard about them a few days ago." "You're mean." I said and I took a bite."I don't think I should intervine their relationship. Hanni will tell you eventually too.." He said
Juliet NollanAfter Darren posted that pictures, my name was everywhere. On social media, TV, news and radia. They put my name, my photos and my background.Apparently Darren Conte successfully broke lots of hearts by announcing me on his instagram. He's popular and not to mention that I didn't even follow him. I rarely opened my social media and I used to have 10 followers but now I have almost a million followers. Some people hate me, some people love me. Darren started to post a lot of pictures about me. I told him not to but he didn't care. He told me that he wants everyone to know that I have a boyfriend. He even told me to wear a tee with his face. "Don't be ridiculous!" I hissed when he suggested that stupid idea."Why not? It would be.. cool.""Cool? A T-shirt with your face?" I asked and he nodded proudly."No.""Come on." He begged and I shook my head."Juliet!" I turned around to find Hanni and she gave me a hug. We're going to the salon together because we have an event
Juliet Nollan"It's beautiful." He took me to the top of the Empire State Building. "I know you'll like it." He said and I took my phone out taking pictures of the beautiful view. His penthouse view is breahtaking but this so much more. "This is just.. amazing." I said."Take a picture with me, we don't have any pictures together." He said and he wrapped his arms around my waist from the back. We took some pictures and it was cute."Send it to me." He said."No.""Juliet, can you please.. send the pictures to me?" He said and I chuckled nodding. I sent the pictures to me and I put my phone back into my pocket. I was more into the view and the cold breeze. It's like a dream come true. My phone vibrated and I took it out from my pocket. I opened the notification and Darren just posted our pictures on Instagram. He didn't write any caption, he just posted everything and tagged me. "You never publish your relationship." I said and I looked up to me."How do you know about that?" "Han
Juliet Nollan"What was that?!" Hanni said as we sat down. We're 20 minutes early so we have some spare time."What?""Did something happen when I ditched?" She asked and I turned away. "No way!" She gasped. "What?!" I ignored her as I took out my books."You slept with him, didn't you?" She whispered in my ear and I turned to her. Heat spearding across my cheeks and she pointed at me."Busted! Why didn't you tell me? You lost your virginity to Darren Conte." She said dramatically."Why didn't you tell me?! I need details!" She said as she moved from sitting beside me to sitting in front of me."How was it?" Her eyes were so wide that it looked like it's going to pop out. She's too excited for this."It was.. great." I said shyly."How did it happen? He seduced you?""It just happened, it was pretty intensed." I said and Hanni clapped her hands like a seal."Oh my god.. details please.." She said and I laughed."I'm not giving you any details." "Ugh!" She hissed."He came to my hou
Darren ConteBefore I met Juliet, I'll all about vanilla. I'm not the type who will be agressive, possessive and let alone being obsessive. Juliet brought that all out easily and I can say that I never thought I have that on me. When I was with Calista, I was the type who follow her rhythm. I always gave her freedom and apparently she hated it. She wanted me have control on her but it was just not in me. After meeting Juliet, I hated her for no reason or maybe I hated her because she pushed my buttons perfectly. I hated it how much it affected me and she successfully made me confuse.I spent 3 weeks when she's away to find answers and never got one until I just let myself go with her. I love every second of it and I felt more alive. I parked in front of her house just to watch her sleep another minute. I took out my phone to text Wesley about the situation and he's not happy. He hates me for hanging out with his sister too much. Not only him but Justin hates me too. None of them t
