SHE CARES.

Winnie.

I woke up the next morning and mum wasn't by my side anymore but Ares was. He was staring at me and it startled me for a few seconds.

“Jeez, how long have you been staring at me like that? You scared me, you know. Wait a minute, you haven't been like that for long, right?” I asked him all at once the moment I recovered myself.

He let out a deep throaty chuckle and I really liked the sound of that.

“Calm down. I haven't been staring for too long. Just a couple of minutes and I didn't mean to scare you. You look really innocent while you sleep and I couldn't help staring”. He replied.

“Ohh, alright then”. I smiled as I couldn't meet his gaze anymore.

“By the way, where's mum? She's no longer by my side”. I asked him again.

“Ohhh yeah I almost forgot. She's downstairs in the kitchen preparing something for you to eat so you can take your drugs”. He said, sitting up.

“Alright, I thought she had gone without telling me." I responded, sighing a sigh of relief.

“Silly me,

    IN PRISON.Rose.My sister looked really terrible. She had bruises all over her body and one of her eyes was purple and was half closed.She was limping and also had a bandage around her head. What could have happened to her? Did the police do this to her? Or was it Ares?When she came close to me and sat down, I picked up the telephone and she reluctantly did the same.“How are you doing? No, that's a stupid question to ask. From the way you're looking, you're obviously not doing fine. Who did this to you sis?” I asked her instead, waiting for her reply. She just held the telephone to her ear but she wasn't saying anything.She couldn't maintain eye contact with me and I don't know why. She kept looking at me through the glass that separated us but she never looked me in the eye.“Was it Ares?” I asked her again. Immediately I mentioned Ares's name, she looked up with force at me, I wondered if her neck didn't hurt from that action and she shivered. It was almost unnoticeable as I a

    BACK TO MY OLD SELF.Ares.Winnie was done eating and taking her drugs. I kept staring at her occasionally but I doubt she noticed it because she was so engrossed in the conversation she was having with the cook.I kept staring at her long legs and perky breasts through her tank top and it was really giving me a hard on. When I came into the room after she was done changing, I wanted to pounce on her and ravish her whole but, I really held myself.I kept telling myself that she was sick and needed to recover.Come to think of it, why do I constantly have the urge to make out with her? Why does just staring at her make me hard? Why am I becoming soft towards her?This wasn't the plan Ares. This wasn't the plan at all. You were just meant to marry her just to retain your CEO position and nothing more. You were not meant to change your attitude towards her or feel anything for her.No, I don't feel anything for her, I CAN'T feel anything for her. It's just because she's hurt, nothing mor

    ANOTHER ARGUMENT. Winnie. I went to work the next day and resumed my duties. My staff had no idea what had happened to me and I was happy about that.They didn't need to know that. I'm back to my beautiful self now. My face was no longer swollen and my wrists and ankles no longer hurt.Mum was really making sure I took my medications and on time too. Ares on the other hand has been behaving weird.I didn't know when he got back from work last night and I also didn't know when he left for work this morning.It was as if he was trying to avoid me but I couldn't tell why. I hadn't done anything to upset him so why the sudden change of behavior.I would go and talk to him after work today.The day went really fast and very soon it was time to close. I left the bakery after making sure everything was locked and went into my waiting car.The driver took me to the villa and I noticed Ares's car was parked in the garage too meaning he was back.I went inside and freshened up then I changed

    WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?Winnie.I definitely wasn't expecting to see Judy, Ares's assistant, standing outside my room by this time of the night. What was he doing here? And why's he here?“Why are you here?” I asked him, after recovering from my shock a little.“Won't you at least let me in?” He asked.“Not until you answer my question”. I replied, with my hands across my breasts.“Alright, if you say so. I have to find a new secretary for Mr Ares and I didn't really do a good job with the previous one I found”. I noticed the way he bowed his head after making that statement.So, he was the one that found that lady that was part of Amelia's plan. But how did he make such a mistake? Isn't there a criteria for employment or something? Especially when it comes to Ares's secretary they should be thorough about who they employ, right?“Yeah, we all know you didn't but I don't know what that has got to do with me and you still haven't answered my question”. I told him again as I was beginning

    SHE AGREED!!Judy.“Yeah, we all know you didn't do a great job with that but I don't know what that has got to do with me and you still haven't answered my question”. She told me again impatiently.Not wanting to annoy her, I decided to tell her my reason for showing up unannounced.“I was thinking if you could help me with the selection process this time around. You see, my boss would kill me if I mess it up this time around and I don't want to risk putting you or any other person in danger again.By the way, I'm sorry about what happened to you. It was all my fault, I was really careless. Please forgive me”. I added, with my head still bowed low.I was really sorry. I was even surprised Mr Ares gave me a second chance. How could I have made that type of silly mistake?She then ushered me into her room and gestured for me to sit down on one of the couches.“I really don't blame you for what happened, Judy. Yes, you were not thorough and hence that happened but it's not totally your

    NOT ANYMORE!!!Winnie.I decided not to go to work today so as to work on what Judy told me about. It wasn't as difficult or tasking as I thought it would be. I just had to go through their details and also run their faces through facial recognition. It brought out most things about them that weren't even in the file given to me.I found out some of the ladies lied about their background and I don't know why. Well, I selected the ones that stood a better chance at getting the job then I did a thorough check on them.I made sure I really dug in deep into matters concerning them.Ares suddenly came home and I was surprised. I wasn't expecting him till later in the evening. When he came into the mansion, he stood at the door for a while, looking at me and probably wondering why I didn't go to work then he left.I didn't bother looking up from my laptop to acknowledge his presence because I was still hurt from last night.I acted like I didn't know he was around and was really focused on

    ANOTHER BOLD MOVE. Ares.She seemed to really love the water because it felt like she had been there for ages. After an hour or so, she came out of the pool and she looked even more sexy than before.The way the bikini clung to her body because of its wetness and the way her wet hair was everywhere in her face gave me another hard on.I wanted nothing more than to kiss her and have her there but I had to control myself because I was supposed to be ignoring her.She was really making this difficult to do and I wondered if she was doing it on purpose. Come to think of it, the last time she went swimming, I remember she wore my shirt over her swimsuit when she came out of the pool and that caused us to fight. How come this time around she didn't wear anything over her swimsuit and she knows I'm around. She even came to the kitchen to cook in that wet bikini of hers. Doesn't she know how tempting she looks.I was really trying hard to control myself but I just couldn't and her presence

    KISSING UNDER THE RAIN.Winnie.My breath hitched a bit at the sudden movement and I was at a loss for words. His voice was really husky and it sounded so sexy.“You're going to pay for what you did, woman and I won't go easy on you”. He asked again as he bit my ear lobe and sucked on it. I shuddered at the feeling.What did he mean by I was going to pay? I decided to act like I didn't know what he was talking about.“I don't understand. What did I do to you? What are you talking about?” I asked and was surprised at the way I sounded. “You don't know what I'm talking about, right? Well, let me show you”. He said and suddenly turned me around so I was now facing him then he took my hand and placed it on his really hard dick.I flinched at the contact and wanted to remove my hand but he held it in place.“This is what I'm talking about. This is what you do to me, Winnifred. This is how much you affect me”. He used his other hand to lift my chin so he was staring at me in the eyes as he

    THE PROPOSAL.Winnie.I couldn't believe what just happened. I began replaying everything over and over in my head again. It all began when I woke up and was preparing coffee. Ares went to the living room without greeting me and started watching the News. He suddenly called for me and I went to the living room to meet him.“Where did you go yesterday?” He asked me and I was just staring at him, trying to process what happened yesterday.“I asked you a fucking question!!” He yelled at me and I blinked with a surprised look on my face. Ok, I had definitely remembered now. Why is he asking me this suddenly and why didn't he go to work today?“I didn't go anywhere.” I replied as I sat down on the couch.“Alright then, let me be more specific. What did you go to do at the hospital yesterday?” He asked me. I was shocked as to how he found out about my visit to the hospital.“I went for a check up.” I replied, not meeting his gaze. I knew that I had promised not to lie to him but this situat

    THE DIVORCE.Ares.I was in my office when I got a call from Adam, Winnifred's driver. I hope nothing happened to Winnifred. I picked up the call immediately.“Yes Adam, what is it?” I asked impatiently and he hesitated for a moment before replying.“Good afternoon sir. I wanted to inform you that your wife went to the hospital today”. He said and I immediately stood up from my seat.“Hospital? What happened to her? What was she doing there?!!” I thundered over the phone as I started getting ready to leave the office.“No no sir, nothing happened to her. She's fine. She said she wanted to go for a check up”. He said as I sighed in relief.“Why did you call me then?” I asked, calmer this time around.“I think she lied sir.” He said and that got me curious. “And what makes you think so?” I asked him again, curious to hear his response.“I just had the feeling that she was lying and when she came back from the hospital, she seemed lost. I kept on asking her what happened but she was jus

    PREGNANCY?Winnie.I didn't know when I slept off but I found myself on the floor of my room when I woke up and I was feeling really tired. It took me minutes to stand up from the floor and when I finally got up, the whole room began to spin and I had to hold on to the wall close to me to prevent me from falling down.I wondered why I had started feeling dizzy all of a sudden but I couldn't seem to come up with an answer. My stomach started grumbling and I wanted to ignore it but it only got worse so I decided to pay attention to it.Since I was obviously really hungry, I went downstairs to find something to eat after the room had stopped spinning. When I got to the kitchen, I found a note on the counter addressed to me from Ares. It read…“I've gone to work, don't think I have run away again or that something happened to me. I'm perfectly fine and will be back in the evening.”I smiled after reading the note and for a second, I thought that things were back to normal but I woke up fr

    BACK HOME.Ares.Winnifred had been calling me for sometime now but I didn't pick up. I'll just look at it ringing until it cuts. I knew she would be worried because I didn't tell her anything but I couldn't care less.By the way, why should she be worried? She can as well go and meet the guy that was flirting with her at her bakery earlier today and not bother about me. I'm sure that wouldn't be hard to do.She stopped calling for sometime then after a few minutes, Judy called and I picked up immediately.“Good morning sir, your wife said that you're not at home and she's been calling you but you're not picking her calls. She's been waiting for you to come back home.” Judy said over the phone and I paused a little before replying to him.“You can tell her not to bother waiting up for me as I won't be going back to that villa for sometime. I'm in one of my other houses and I don't want to see her either. I need space away from her. If that's all, I'll hang up now.” I said and immediat

    WISHFUL THINKING.Judy.I was surprised seeing Winnifred's name as the caller ID when my phone began ringing by 1:00am. What could be the problem? I picked after the second ring and I was shocked by what she said.“Hello, I'm sorry for disturbing you but do you know if Ares is still at the office? He's not yet back and I've been calling him but he isn't picking my calls”. She said, clearly worried.“Ares didn't come to work today. Didn't he tell you? I'll try calling him and see if he picks up”. I told her as I yawned.“He didn't tell me. Well, I left for work before him so there was no way he would have told me. Alright please do and call me back if he picks your call”. She said and ended the call.Why didn't Ares tell his wife that he didn't go to work and most of all where could he be by this time? I decided to call him and I was surprised when he picked up immediately.“Good morning sir, your wife said that you're not at home and she's been calling you but you're not picking her c

    THE BREAKDOWN.Winnie.I stayed awake all through the night waiting for Ares to return but he never did. I lay on his bed as I watched the sunrise and my heart was heavy. I decided to dial Judy's number again and luckily, it went through.“You never called to give me feedback.” I told him immediately he picked up the call.“I'm sorry about that, I just didn't know how to tell you.” He responded, his voice a little bit shaky.“How to tell me what?” I asked, more curious now.“When I called Ares, he said that he isn't coming back home so you shouldn't bother waiting up for him and that he needs space away from you.” Judy replied and my face fell immediately.“He isn't coming back? Did he say where he was and how long he'll stay there?” I asked again, my voice beginning to break up as I fought hard to control my tears.“He's in another of his apartments but he didn't say how long he'll stay there.” Judy responded.“Do you know that I stayed awake the whole night waiting to see if Ares wo

  • Taming the Billionaire    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY: THE BIG DECISION.

    THE BIG DECISION.Ares.As I was driving, it all became clearer to me. All these changes I had been noticing concerning me. The way I was now calm towards her. I never wanted to see her sad. I never wanted anything that would hurt her. I always wanted to see her smile and happy.How did I let all these happen? Where is the cold hearted Ares that doesn't give a fuck about anybody's feelings? “Aaaarrrrrggggggggg”. I shouted after parking my car by the corner of the road. I wanted to throw and scatter something so badly but I couldn't do that. Instead, I slammed my hands on the steering wheel so hard that it hurt.When I had calmed down a little and was able to drive properly, I resumed driving. I definitely couldn't go to my company in this mood so I decided to go home.Home? I can't do that. I took another turn that led me away from my mansion. I had made a decision. I won't live under the same roof as Winnifred again. That way, I can avoid her with ease.This was what I'd have to do

    CAUGHT IN THE ACT.Winnie.I sat down in my office as thoughts of last night flashed through my mind. I couldn't help the blush that crept up my face when I recalled all that had happened.From the surprise to the dinner to the sex in the pool to the continuous sex in his room, all were very memorable and I enjoyed every one of them. Last night was a really fun night.“Someone's here to see you ma”. I heard Anna say, bringing me back from my thoughts.“Who is the person? Did the person leave a name?” I asked, curious because I wasn't expecting anyone.“No ma, he just said he wanted to see the owner of the bakery”. She replied.“Alright, I'll be out shortly”. I told her and she left. Who could be looking for me? I guess I better go and find out then. I left my office and went to see who it was.When I came out of my office, I saw a handsome young man with very black hair and green eyes that reminded me of Ares. He looked like he was in his early thirties. Well he is good looking I'll g

  • Taming the Billionaire    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN: SUCH A CUTE THING.

    SUCH A CUTE THING.Judy.I was still finding it hard to believe that Ares actually thought of something like this and helped in executing it. If not for the fact that I was there when it all happened, I wouldn't believe that the Ares I know would do something as romantic as this.I was really happy when he suggested the idea and I observed how joyful he was when he was picking out Winnifred's outfit. I don't think I had seen him that happy in a long while and to think that Winnifred was the source of his happiness warmed my heart.I hoped things continued this way without changing. I was also glad that Winnifred loved the surprise because her expression when the light lit up was priceless. My hard work paid off.They didn't even wait for dinner to be over or at least for me to go before they started their make out session. They started doing it right there in my presence.“Isn't it too early for that?”. I had told them when I couldn't take it anymore and they composed themselves. I ch
