I packed my things as soon as I got to my apartment. We will be staying for two nights so I packed enough clothes for 3 days. I took a shower again because my whole body smells after working in a kitchen. My hair smells like steak and cream. I looked at myself in the mirror. I'm wearing black skinny jeans, white tee with blue checkered flanel and a black vans. I'm going for the comfortable look. I put on my make up and sprayed some perfume. Ares texted me that he's already downstairs. I went down bringing my small luggage with me. There's two cars in front of the lobby and Ares came out from his car. He put my luggage into the trunk."What a gentleman.." I said sarcasticaly."You'll be in my car with my grandma." He said and I nodded."What about the other car?" "My parents, sister and her fiance." Ares said and he gestured me to get in."Okay." I nodded and got into the car passenger seat. Lily was sitting at the back. "Athena! How are you?" Lily squealed and I chuckled."I'm g

I opened my eyes slowly and found myself leaning on a soft pillow. I got up and froze that I'm actually cuddling with Ares. He held my body tightly against his. "Ares.." I called."Hmm?" "Ares, let me go." "What time is it?""Around 4 pm." I said and he slowly let me go. I got off the bed and went to the toilet. When I got out, Ares was already standing."Where are you going?" "Let's take a stroll." He said and I nodded. I followed him out of the house and started walking on a trail beside it. We walked into a small forest and I love it already. Ares grabbed my hand because there's a lot of rocks. We held on to each other for our balance. After around 15 minutes walk, Ares stopped and pointed at the sun. I could see the sun is slowly falling. "Thank you." He said and I turned to him."What for?""Everything, you really made my family likes you." He said and I nodded. He put his arm around my shoulder."It's beautiful." The sun was slowly hitting the horizon. "I know.." "Your d
I got up early to watch the sunrise. We will drive back home around 10 and I'm excited to go back home too. I stood on the same spot like yesterday and I took out my phone ready to record the sunrise. I pressed record."I'm surprised to see you here." I turned to see Ares joining me. "I want to see the sunrise." I said as I kept my phone steady. I looked straight to the horizon and saw a small point of light. I smiled seeing it. "Have you record it?" He asked."Yes." I said and he suddenly took over my phone. He gestured me to walk to the front and he recorded me from behind. My eyes glued to the sun slowly rising. "Are you taking pictures too?" I asked."Pictures cost extra." "I'll pay you with food later.." I said sighing."Okay." I stood there until the sun already up in the sky. "Thank you." I turned around and he nodded. He gave my phone back and I stood next to him. "You often come here with your family?" "Yeah, we love to come here." Lucky him. I love this place so much
Ares' mood became so bad after we got back to the house. He's suddenly acting like a teenager who sulk all the time. He was acting cold and not to mention that he glared at me most of the time."Kilian, can you move to my car? I have some things to talk about." Ares said and that's when the arrangement changed.I got into Rachel and Aaron's car with Lily. Viola and Kilian will join Ares. I brought my luggage and put it on the trunk."Why is he acting like an asshole?" Lily asked."Maybe because of work." I smiled."Better be.." Lily hissed and she gestured me close the trunk. We got into the car and Aaron drove away from the house. Ares Anderson "What's wrong with you?!" Viola asked as he turned to me glaring."What?""What happened between you and Athena? Did you two fight?" Viola hissed."No.""I know.. something is wrong.." "Why? Did she say something mean?" Kilian asked."Impossible, she's like the sweetest girl ever." Did she just defend her more than her own brother?"True, s
"Need some help?" I turned around to see Ares standing there with a big bouquet of flowers."Hey.. I thought you have work.""Work on my girlfriend's day? It can wait.." He said and I smiled. He gave me the flower and gave me a kiss on the top of my head. "Thank you, these are so beautiful." I said. "Tell me what to do.." He said and I asked him to help carry the chair upstairs. He rolled his sleeves and my eyes glued to him."You're drooling..""Just go.. boyfriend." I said and he chuckled. "Athena." I turned to Grace and she gestured me to go to her. "We're all good." She said as she showed me all the CCTV. "Okay.""Are you nervous?""Yeah, pretty much." I said and Grace gave me a hug."It will go smoothly.." to be honest, it happened so fast. I gathered a good team and I'm so grateful. I turned to the clock and it's almost 3."Look who's here.." Grace said and I turned to the door. I smiled seeing Ares' family and they hugged me. They even bought flowers for me. "Please sit w
Ares AndersonAthena was busy talking to her friend, Clara. She introduced us earlier and Clara is fun, she's pretty similar to Viola. I turned my attention to Raymond who was busy with his phone. Why isn't he leaving? Isn't he a doctor? Shouldn't he be worried about his patients?"You're scaring people.." Kilian said."I don't care, I don't like him.""We know, you made it pretty obvious." He said chuckling.I got up from my seat and walked towards Athena. I grabbed her hand and brought her into the kitchen. I led her to her office inside the kitchen."What's wrong?" She asked."You owe me a special dish again.." "I know, you want it now?" She asked and I shook my head."What do you want then?" I crashed her lips and she trailed her hands to my chest. I held her waist pulling her close to me. I wrapped my arms on her body until there's no gap between us. "Ares.." She moaned."Hmmm?""We have to go out." She said but she was the one who started to fasten the pace. "Okay.. stop." S
We went up together and this is his first time entering my unit. He looked around and sat on the sofa."I like your apartment." He said as I grabbed a glass of water."It's cozy." "Are you sure you want me to stay here?" He asked and he turned to me."If you wanna go, feel free." I said avoiding his eyes. I drank all my water and put it on the sink. "I was surprised that you want me to stay." He said and I was surprised at myself for asking him. Since when I become so needy? "I have my brother's extra clothes here, you can take a shower." I said as I walked to my room. I grabbed my brother's hoodie, sweatpants and extra underwears. I walked to the living room and found Ares looking out the window. "How are you feeling? After opening your own restaurant." He asked as he turned to me. I put the clothes on the sofa and walked towards him."It was weird but I'm happy. I was living my dream and thank you.. I wouldn't be able to do it without you." I said smiling to him. "I will pay y
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
