What are you staring at?", Ares's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. Glancing up at him, I smiled weakly, rubbing my arms together," Nothing..I am just thinking about how to solve your rumours!"His eyes lingered on my luggage,stayed for a while and was surprised. I assumed that he was thinking, I was here for a short visit. But I made my final decision. This morning, I left my parents because of Ares. Well, I don't blame him because I chose love over everything. Despite my consistent trials, my parents didn't believe in my decision. They were persistent to send me overseas which I couldn't accept. I couldn't afford to stay far away from Ares. I was sure that once I got into that hostel, they would surely put more restrictions around me to stop me from meeting Ares. Then, I took the most surprised decision by leaving them according to my father's words.Choose Ares Or Us!If they were upset with me, I would have tried to live with them longer until their anger disappeared. But No!!
" Cheers!!", two wine stuffed glass clung together along with the victorious laughter, coming from the boys around. Finn curved his lips up in amusement, his eyes stuck on the tabloids that released horrific news about Ares in each ours. His eyes read through the comments satisfyingly," Ares is a jerk! He doesn't deserve this position!"" Kick him out of the team right away!"" A playboy can't be our idol!"Finn's lips turned wider into a smile as he sipped from his fresh wine. He was satisfied with the outcome. First time, he was too rushed and made mistake repeatedly. For the reason, he was banned and had to live this miserable life. Still now, whenever he made a public appearance, people would comment at his face." Oh look at that boy! He is banned!"The invisible slap was solid in his life that it took days for him to accept the reality. Then, he refocused on his training, making sure that there would be no Ares on his path anymore. After the last win from Ares, he understood th
" Yeah, I will be there on time, Coach!", I mouthed, my voice dripping low in tension. The coach just notified me that the Jury had called me today to hear my explanation. Then, they will make the decision of my career. I hated this so much to be judged, insulted by everyone around me. But I had no choice here. The scandal issues were going viral and fans were upset with me. Some even stated that they weren't going to watch my match again no matter which team I had joined. If such hatred from the audience continued, no club or team would offer collaboration with them. As a result, my career will be doomed and I will see no more sunshine in my life." Did you find her?", Savannah commented on my back, her face turning remorse for me. Whenever I looked up at her, I felt more sorry for my own wrong doings. She left her family, career for me. She entrusted herself to me but here, I was dreadfully failing in my career.How will I support my family if I can't play any longer?My mind felt l
stared at Aria's back unblinking. After rushing over to this place and finding her made me realize that I knew my best friend too. Ares gave me multiple possibilities of finding her somewhere else. But I just sticked firm to this point that Aria would probably be here probably. Because I knew that in her current position, she wouldn't put her life in danger not when she wants to carry a baby inside. In comparison, this dorm was a safer place, providing her security. Even if she fell sick, the staffs would send her to hospital as they are responsible for this girls as soon as they entered here.Aria looked up at me, surprised to find me here so quick. She stumbled up with a smile to murmur," So you found me!"I just rolled my eyes before marching over to her. She was a bit scared to see my walking style and backed away in safer distance which made me laugh. I chuckled, resting my palms over my hips," You scared your brother, Aria!"She lowered her eyes down in guilt and mumbled, twit
" My parents had a lot of debts. So, we couldn't afford to live in the city anymore!", Catherine cleared my curiosity, placing two cups of tea, a few cookies in front of our eyes. I nodded smiling and looked up at Ares whose expression was cold. I understood that they hated each other but we weren't here to have some ugly fight when his career was put at risk.I nudged at Ares's arms, wishing that he would start speaking finally. Fortunately, Catherine was alone in the house as her parents had gone to buy something from town. It was the perfect opportunity to hear everything clearly.Snapping out of his dazed state, Ares exhaled heavily, tugged on his lips before starting," Catherine..I am sorry about being an asshole to you..I need you to clarify something.."Catherine nodded thoughtfully and shifted her eyes between us to tell," I have heard from the news already. Actually, things have changed in my life so much. I don't know how to react to this situation. Besides, I don't hold g
Awestruck by her sudden change of voice, I was flabbergasted for a couple of seconds before Ares burst his anger out over the woman," Excuse me, I solemnly believe that you are just covering yourself. Fuck, don't use that tongue with my girlfriend."I squeezed his hand, assuring him that I was mentally prepared. The attendant didn't look falter by our presence rather snorted with a bitter tone," What can you do to me? You are just a banned player."Ares lost his coolness, almost punched the female attendance but luckily, I was quick to grab his hand, glaring into his infuriated eyes harshly," Ares! No! We still have to find the truth!"The female attendance stood slightly surprised, then backed away one step to avoid his punch which didn't fall on her face. Understanding too well that she wasn't willing to help us, I left with my last words, dragging Ares outside," Thanks for your time but you are involved in this mess, I will make sure that you live a very pathetic life."When I
I banged the door shut nearly. Finally, I managed to stop myself from meeting that jerk today. If he could drag me to the hospital once, he could do it again. Sighing, I undressed myself before heading into the shower, hoping that this anxiousness would go away like those rolling waters.Not after I was done showering, someone knocked at my door in an emergency. Wrapping the towel around my body, I went over to open the door, finding Klara with a grim face. She lived in the next dormitory and was a mother of one child. We became super close at our first meeting.She spoke impatiently, hanging her painted nails up in the air," Oh, Aria? Have you seen something? Where did you go? In a hospital?"I was slightly surprised at her words. Because no one knew about my doctor's visit not even Savannah. I was pretty sure that I didn't inform anyone from the hostel to avoid rumors. Klara held her head worryingly, showed me her iphone," Here, your pregnancy report is all over the news. These pe
papparazis will follow me here. He passed the luggage to the lady, whirled around to leave. My heart began to drop crazily each step, he made to the exit.He was really leaving...!Unsure about my thoughts, I shouted his name in urgency," Ethan..."He turned vigorously, eyes shining bright as if he was waiting for this years. Then my solid memory recalled the warning from his grandfather. His hard working career could get destroyed overnight for me. People could call him useless man who chose a pregnant lady for his life partner.All the emotions wiped away like air in a while. Forcing the tears back into my eyes, I mumbled before looking down," Than.. Thank...you.."Then I heard nothing except his footsteps fading away from the doorway. He was really gone not only from this hostel but from my life too.The young manager who introduced herself as Miss Brown showed the new room to me. I was distracted, barely took notice of the surrounding. It was a modest living place, better than m
" Sister Janet! It's too late! Why don't you stay in our company's hotel?", Lily suggested, quickly catching up with her pace. Janet pondered for a while and found that it was better now. Now the clock had tickled to 11 P.M at night and there was no call from Victor, she assumed that he hadn't returned yet. Furthermore, she felt bored in the house all alone. Janet nodded with her in agreement and looked behind the tall building," You sound right! I will stay overnight here then. Call the manager to notify him once."Recently, SKYWINGS started earning well slowly. CEO Gary quickly bought this hotel nearby to expand the business. For the artists under SKYWINGS, they had a privilege in their sub branches such that she could stay in this hotel without any cost.After manager Aiden had confirmed that Janet could stay at the hotel, Lily left her at the entrance and drove back to her own house. From the hidden Maybach, Noah had his eyes fixed on the girl who was bidding farewell to her assi
Janet coughed vigorously before asking to double check. Her eyes were slightly widened in shock," Mmm! CEO Gary..are..are you sure that these rules are not for me?"Naturally, the company gives multiple clauses to artists to keep up with their perfect image. So, Janet was obviously doubtful even questioned about CEO Gary's authority in her heart. CEO Gary made a face like he wanted to smack this dumb woman's head. He put another cupcake into his mouth before telling," Do you think that I would come here personally to humiliate myself just to show you this?"Janet was speechless. Even Andrew who heard the pathetic terms came across to take a look at the papers. His eyes were big in disbelief as he slammed the papers down to blurt out loud," No way! Janet! He must be a fake CEO!"CEO Gary rolled his eyes and leant against the couch leisurely. His lips twitched in the mockery before asking Andrew back," Boy...you have never been in love right?"Andrew seemed dumbstruck by his questio
The engagement news was kept hidden. Since when CEO Fred heard it from Janet's mouth, he was baffled out before losing the ability to say anything. His marriage to the heir of Graham's family was fixed. That heir from the Graham family was a spoiled woman who could even beat men. Because of her share from the company's family, CEO Fred agreed to marry her. However, the girl had only one rule which was that he had to stay far away from women. If she finds anything again, she would come to break his leg personally.That mad woman..CEO Fred was internally freaking out but however, he couldn't even talk now or do anything. Janet was satisfied with the terrified expression on his face. She simply pulled her phone out and clicked a few pictures of CEO Fred who was laying half-conscious. Without hesitation, she sent it to his Fiancee. After all, the girl was innocent and she deserved to know the true face of this scum.After taking a few pictures from different angles, Janet saw that the pa
Janet took a deep breath to calm herself down. She rubbed her forehead aching and finally said in a serious voice," CEO.. Victor...You are too much really..I feel like you are seducing me to stay at your home. Please you are an honorable person. You deserve to act all high and proud. Why are you insisting on chasing me?"Victor let out a helpless sigh. He had nothing to respond actually. It was more like a first sight. The moment he saw her in the hospital, he wanted her as his own. So, he approached her slowly and cautiously. It felt as though he was attracted to her from the beginning. He ignored her question, said apologizing," I..I am sorry..I have gone overboard..I know that you don't like me..but I can't help.. really.."Janet didn't feel convinced with her words. She replied sternly, looking down at her feet," I guess, it's not convenient for me anymore to stay at your home. I stayed because of your health condition but now, I badly feel that I should leave, CEO Victor..We a

" What opinions?", Noah entered into the dining room, looking extremely tired. The new company was taking a lot of his strength to build up. When he appeared on the entrance, he barely heard about the elders, discussing about something regarding his opinion.Jonathan smiled big at his son, replied after patting the seat next to him," There, my son! We were talking about your marriage to Jessica."Noah froze in his track, looked blankly at the elders as if they were cracking jokes. However, Jessica was already blushing. She lowered her head down to hide her smile. Noah retorted sharply, turning grim in annoyance," What... what did you say? Getting married to Jessica? Since when did I agree?"The dinner table fell awkwardly silent. His response even shocked Jessica who looked up at him stupified. Jessica never expected that Noah was going to refuse to marry her even after finding the dark sides of Janet.Didn't he say that he hated Janet for abandoning her family for her dream?Mother
Kate was flabbergasted with an expression of being frozen over decades. She looked around uncertainly and indeed noticed that there was nothing special in the room. If it was a date, there should have been flowers, candles or anything fascinating. However, the room was looking nothing less than a haunted place.Kate suddenly had a very bad feeling. She looked up at the man who was smoking lazily. His legs were wobbly crossed, a kingly aura surrounded the air around him. A few buttons of his retro suit were frankly opened, highlighting the taut muscles underneath. She suddenly had a feeling of being trapped by a Mafia Boss.Kate cleared her throat, embarrassing," Then..why..did you call me CEO Victor?"She dared not to address him by his name so casually. Victor peeked his head outside through the layer of smoke. He pointed at the screen beside them and told casually," Miss Kate! I needed some confirmation from you. Do you know the woman in the footage? Take a look at it!"Kate subco
That area was hot and rocking, igniting fire with the gentlest touch in her hand. Never in her imagination, she thought that Victor would act so repulsive. Her blush became obvious and she retreated her hand hastily. Victor took a deep breath and appeared terribly on the surface. Janet mumbled, unsure about what to do," I...I am sorry..I didn't know.."Even she had no idea why she was saying sorry. But after she sounded guilty, Victor felt more wrong.Damn it! What was wrong with his body?He acted like a horny teenager who was excited to see his girlfriend's boobs for the first time. Without saying anything, he rushed into the shower and turned on the faucet to calm him down. On the bed, Janet was speechless.Please..was she really such dangerous thing that he was so easily aroused?Inside the bathroom, Victor regretted laying next to her, continuing taking showers until his body turned cold like ice. At the same time, a sports car had arrived in front of the city hospital. A man's
When Lily heard what the crazy audience was speaking about her, she was dumbstruck at her place. She didn't expect that people would notice from the car. Worst of all, some even began to take pictures of them, fighting together.Andrew cursed under his breath, yelled at the stupified woman who was looking blank, clueless," Get back! Get back into the car! Shit!"Lily was suddenly snapped back to reality, jumped back into the car and quickly pulled up the glasses. However, she was still scared a bit and spoke with a solemn expression," God! Did they really take pictures of us? Will we be on the headlines tomorrow?"She sounded resentful as if it was the worst thing that could happen to her. Andrew glared at the woman who treated him like a worthless paper. He even grounded his teeth so hard that it started aching. Other girls always had a dream to make headlines with him. Probably, she was the first person who didn't want any news with him. He was hopelessly frustrated with being neg
