"Did you know?" Dana asked, looking at me through teary eyes. I felt bad for her but not that much. I shook mt head in response replied, "I didn't."
"Did you?" Dana asked Liza who also shook her head as well, "no."
She scoffed before storming out of the room, slamming the door shut behind her.
"I'm sorry." Ares suddenly said making me snap my eyes to look at him as he continued, "I shouldn't have called your mom here. None of this would've happened if I haven't—"
I cut him off, "It's not your fault. My mom would've come here anyway. My parents behave like cats and dogs whenever they're face to face."
"We'll leave you to rest, dear." Edward said as he placed his hand on Mirabella's lower back.
"We will see you soon, sweetheart." Mirabella gave me a small smile before her and Edward left the room.
"Thank you for everything, Alexia. Get well soon." Ana said before leaving as well.
"Get well soon, my future sister-in-law." Austin smirked as my eyes widened slightly at his words. He then walked away after winking at Ares. Liza only nodded at me before walking out.
"Who's that guy?" Ares asked to which I shrugged, "I don't know."
"You definitely know," he said seriously, "Ben told me about him before."
"Yeah?" I raised my brows curiously, "what did he tell you about him?"
"That I'm better that him," Ares replied which made my lips curled up a little, "You aren't better than him."
"No?" He furrowed his brows, "who's this guy?"
"Michael," I replied.
"Who is this? Your boyfriend?" Ares asked, raising his brows to which I shook my head, "he was my best friend."
"What happened to him?" Ares asked, curiosity getting the best of him.
"My Father killed him" I responded, clenching my fists as the flashes when Noah killed Michael appeared in front of my eyes.
_____FLASHBACK_____
"I know how this ends, Alexia. Today he is your best friend and tomorrow he'll be your boyfriend. Someone who you'll love, someone who you'll dedicate your whole existence to! You can't do that—" dad shook his head, clenching his jaw, "—I won't allow it."
"I don't have any feelings like that for him, dad," I defended, "he's just my best friend that's all!"
"Really?" He scoffed, "then tell me that he wasn't trying to kiss you ten minutes ago! Tell me that he never told you that he loves you! Tell me, Alexia! Fucking tell me!"
I stayed quiet. Michael did love me but I didn't love him in that way. I only loved him as a friend, that's all.
"How do you even know all that?!" I asked as my eyes widened in realization, "You've had your men following me?"
"Damn right! They told me everything that you two do!! I'll end that guy!" He said sternly.
"You won't dare." I couldn't believe that my father would do that for real. I didn't take him seriously.
A few seconds of silence later, Michael entered Alexia's room and it all happened so fast. My father raised his gun in front of Michael's shocked face, "you called m—" he was cut off when my father pulled the trigger, the bullet piercing through his head. Michael fell on the ground, dead.
"Watched me?" Dad asked with a smirk, putting his gun back in his waistband.
_____END OF FLASHBACK_____
"What the fuck—" Ares breathed out, running a hand through his hair.
"I want to kill him, Ares."
"You want to kill who?" He asked, confused.
"My dad." I muttered.
"Seriously?" He asked to which I nodded, "I've been wanting to do that ever since he killed Michael. Will you help me?"
"You really want to kill him?" He questioned and I nodded again, "yes. I want to kill him myself in the worst ways possible."
"Alright," He muttered, "I'll help you." I narrowed my eyes at him suspiciously, "are you serious?"
Ares scoffed, "of course. I want him dead too. Why do you think I agreed to this so called partnership? I just needed his help to take down Gabriel. I was planning on killing them right after we've used him and his resources. You think I don't know that he wants my position? I'm not dense."
"Smart," I mumbled earning a smirk from him before he asked, "what do you wanna do?"
"We take him down then I take over the Russian Mafia and we go our separate ways."
"Alright," he nodded, "but after Ben's birthday party." I smiled, nodding, "of course."

Both Ares and I arrived at Carl's house where Ben's birthday party was being held. I was discharged from the hospital three days ago. The party was going to be a grand one since Carl liked to do things grandly. He informed me that he would invite his friends, business partners and some of his closest employees. Entering the familiar backyard with Ares beside me, I looked around. Everywhere was decorated with blue and grey balloons, lights and other decorative stuffs. Their house was a big and luxurious one. I entered the house and saw an insane number of guests inside."Lex!" Ben, who was talking to a woman who looked like she was around twenty two, shouted as soon as he saw me standing in the entrance."Hey birthday boy," I said as I bent down and kissed him on his cheeks."Where's my gift?" He asked and pouted cutely which made me chuckle before whispering, "Your gift is a surprise."He grinned and nodded then he turned to Ares. "I'm soo happy that you came Res!""You've got a nic

"Are you here to flatter yourself?" Tala raised her brows, "you came here because you know that we aren't high class people. You came here to flatter yourself with all your money, didn't you?" Tala asked with her hands on her hips making Alexia arch her brows, shooting her an ‘are you serious’ look."You even brought a rich man with you," Tala continued, looking at Ares who was staring at her with annoyance and boredom clear on his features, "a man who you knew that none of us could have. What are you trying to prove here, huh? That you've fucked a rich dick?""I'm pretty sure that you don't wanna go bankrupt or worse..die," I threatened calmly, "you know, I could kill you and get away with it?" Tala rolled her eyes but said nothing, probably thinking that I was kidding."I came here because Ben is my brother and I love him," I added, glancing at Ares then back at the woman in front of me, "and for your unkind information, Ben invited Ares here, himself. And watch your tone when you s

After the party, all the guests left. However, Ares and I stayed to have dinner as my mother requested us earlier. Apparently, we would be having dinner with Carl's family as well.We were guided to the dining room where I sat down next to Ares. When everyone was seated, one of Carl's maid came to serve us our dinner. He politely thanked her before she left the room."Alexia, meet Sara, Carl's elder sister and James, his brother who's one year younger than him. Russell is Sara's husband and Nina is James's wife. Gabriella is Sara and Russell's daughter while Tala is Nina and James's daughter." Mom spoke up, introducing one by one. "Then lastly, there's Camilla, My mother-in-law." I pursed my lips in a thin line and stole a glance at Ares who had his brows furrowed, looking as confused as ever. I probably had the same expression at him. None of what my mother said registered in my head. I wasn't interested in knowing them anyway."And everybody meet Alexia Ivanov, my daughter and her

"They're already here," Ares muttered, his jaw clenched as he checked weather his gun was loaded."Stay quite and don't make a sound," I said to the others. Everyone excluding my mom, Carl and Ben had their eyes widened probably because Ares and I were holding guns since they had their gaze fixed on the weapons. Nonetheless, they listened and none of them made a sound."Go on the left," Ares spoke up, nodding to the left of the door to the dining room which was closed. I nodded my head as we slowly made our way towards the door, each of us taking one side. We were waiting when the door was slowly and cautiously pushed open. Ares and I made no movements an stayed hidden beside the door. As soon as one of the men stepped in, I shot him dead with my silencer.Another one entered just after the one I killed. He was about to shoot me but I was quick to react. I quickly kicked the gun out of his hand while Ares shot him right in his forehead. He fell on the ground, dead.That's when two wom

"Scarlett!" The woman who I think her name was Nina shouted, "your daughter is a murderer! She had as gun! She's a fucking danger to you, Ben, Carl, every— " I cut her off, fighting the urge to roll my eyes at her drama, "—if you don't chose your next words carefully, I won't hesitate to use this very gun on you."She instantly shut her mouth."Keep whatever happened tonight to yourself or you'll end up dead—" I paused, tilting my head to the side as I stared at each and every person who were standing in front of me, "—actually if you tell anyone about us, you'll be putting that person in danger as well. It's for your own good now we've got to go.""You're gonna teach me how to do what you do right?" Ben asked with a smile.I chuckled before saying, "sure thing. I love you." He smiled brightly in response, "I love you too. I would've hugged you but my new clothes would be filled with their disgusting blood and I don't want that.""It was nice meeting you people." Ares said, both him a

"Good morning,""A very good morning, indeed." He flashed me a smirk, his morning voice turning me on again which made me internally roll my eyes and groan. What the fuck was this man doing to me?"I'm hungry," I quickly stood up from the bed, "I'm going to take a bath.""I'm coming with you," he said and stood up before I could protest. "It's going to be fun," he added to which I shrugged before we walked inside the bathroom. After brushing our teeth, we stepped in the bathroom. He was staring at my naked body with his eyes filled with lust making me bite my lip as I turned on the shower and tried to ignore his eyes on me.However, when I turned back around, I was softly pushed against the wall, my back making contact with the cold surface as Ares placed his lips on mine, water falling on our bodies and my eyes fluttering close. I let out a groan as he touched his tongue with mine. He took my bottom lip in between hiAs teeth, his one hand grabbing both mine, holding them above my hea

Instead of retuning home, I decided to stay at Ares's and the two of us thought of watching a movie together since we had nothing to do.We crashed on the bed in Ares's room and watched 'The Old Guard' as neither of us had watched it before.Ares had his arms around me as my head was resting on his left shoulder. I never used to do these things before, watching movies together with a guy, that was so not me. But somehow, with Ares, it was different—he was different."I'm hungry," he mumbled which made me chuckle, remembering that he just ate breakfast a few minutes ago, "you just ate pancakes, glutton.""What did you just call me?" Ares asked and I looked up at him to see him raising his brows, staring at me."You really are deaf. Go have your ears checked up.""It's human to get hungry," he said innocently before a small smirk found it's way onto his face, "a fat ass like you should know that.""Did you just call me fat?""Are you deaf?" Ares asked, using her own words against her."

Ares, Xavier and I hit the club as planned. Loud music filled my ears as I entered the place. My eyes caught sight of several people dancing—more like grinding against each other, not caring about anyone watching them."Let's go to the VIP lounge," Xavier spoke, his voice barely audible over the music but we managed to hear him because he was close to us. Ares and I offered him a nod before the three of them walked to the VIP lounge. I sat on the big comfortable couch while Ares plopped down beside me, his arm draped around my shoulders which I ignored. I then ordered a light drink, not having the intention of getting drunk."You haven't returned home all day today," Ares spoke up making me look at him as he continued, "you do realise that right?""I know," I took my glass from the man who was holding a tray in front of me and Ares who also grabbed his own, "my dad didn't even bother to call me, you do realise that right?""Proves how much your dad cares about you," Xavier muttered, d

Alexia's POV6 years later"Your son crossed the lines today, Mr and Mrs Salvatore." The principal said to Ares and I who were sitting across her."He didn't kill anyone, did he?" Ares asked, raising his brows at the principal."No, of course he didn't!" The principal replied while staring us."Then why are you overreacting?" I asked while running my hands through Jason's black hair. He was mostly after Ares and I did not mind that. It just meant he'd be a fine dude when he'd grow up."He hit my son! My son!" A woman who was standing next to the principal shouted. Her name was Nadja Larson and she was present at the principal's office along with her husband, Marcel and her son, Marcus."Yeah because ‘your son’ tried to touch my sister!" Jason replied, rolling his eyes at the crazy woman."He only kissed her cheek!" Nadja responded defensively to Jason while placing ice on Marcus's wound."Well, he shouldn't have."

Three Months laterAres and I were standing on the aisle, facing each other, hands in hands. I was wearing a long and beautiful white gown with my hair tied into a stylish bun while Ares was wearing a classic black tuxedo."Do you, Ares Salvatore, take Alexia Ivanov as your—" The priest started but wasn't able to complete his sentence.Both Ares and I cut him off, "—we do." The guests laughed at that. Ares smiled at me which I returned.Clearing his throat, the priest continued, "Rings please?"Ben came and gave us the rings before walking away after glaring warningly at Ares who smirked at him in response. He was trying to be a protective brother—how cute.Ares and I slid the rings into each other's fingers without wasting time."You may now k—" The priest was again cut off by Ares who pulled me close to hum before kissing me like we did several times before. However, this time it was more passionate and didn't last long. I could hear the guests clapping and cheering in the backgro

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" I asked, Ares who was driving as we were on our way to Ares's family's mansion."Why won't it be?" He asked, taking his eyes off the road for a second, glancing at me before returning them back in front of him."I don't know," I groaned, "I don't know why I'm being nervous—" cutting myself off, I shook my head, "—I gotta suck it up."Ares let out a chuckle, "they will love you, they already do. Take Ana for instance, you're her idol and Austin— he told me that he would date you if you weren't already mine.""Austin knows?""I told him only about us but not about the baby," he replied to which I nodded.The rest of the drive was silent.

Ares's POV"Where's she?" I asked the second I stepped inside Alexia's house. I was speaking to her over the phone when she stopped talking, she did not even bother to hang up. So naturally, I grew worried. My eyes fell on the two familiar woman standing next to each other. I let out a string of curses when they started walking towards me, shedding crocodile tears."Ares," Alexia' sister who I think her name was Dane spoke up before she started sobbing while I stood there, shooting them an annoyed look, "Ares, baby, look—my dad is dead. He died. Ares, please come console me—my dad," she sniffled, "he gave everything to Alexia before he died! I have nothing! Please, help me take everything from her. Please—""Yeah, that's enough," I cut her off, my eyes darting to the stairs, "where the hell is Alexia?"In her room," her step mother replied, giving me a confused look, "what are you doing here, anyway?"Ignoring the two, I lightly pushed Dane out of my way and rushed to Alexia's room.

Entering my house, I found the two familiar women sitting on one of the couches in the living room, the TV on and porn displaying in front of them. My eyes trailed down to their hands which were in their pants. I gagged loud enough for them to hear me, not bothering to hide my disgust. How fucking gross—"Your husband is probably dead and you're watching porn?" I asked Liza, standing a safe distance away from them."What are you saying?" Liza asked, looking up at me while removing her hand from her pants, wiping them on them making me look away, completely grossed out. Guess I'd be fasting for the next few years— "Noah is at a party in Michele Yang's house.""He was shot," I informed, my tone unbothered, "and was taken to the hospital. Now he's probably fighting between life and death while his wife and daughter from an unknown woman are watching porn and finger fucking themselves. Unbelievable!" Not so, actually."Wh-which hospital?" Dana asked, her lips trembling."Go find out by yo

Days went by quickly and it was finally time for the mission to take down my asshole of a father. In those four weeks that went by, Ares and I had gotten extremely close.We've been dating for two months. Every once in a while, we'd hang out, do random things like eat ice cream, go to clubs, make out, go to his private house and spend the day watching movies. It was weird how normal everything was—how easy he made everything seem. And what was funny was that I didn't even care. I wanted Ares and I to live our entire lives together. Nobody were aware of our relationship except Ana, Austin and Xavier. I've met them a couple of times, hanged out with them as well and we even started a nice friendship. They were fun to be with— for once in my life, I did not seem like a woman who was taught only how to kill in her childhood. With them, I was only a normal twenty four year old woman who was hanging out with her boyfriend and friends. It was refreshing."Alexia, are you ready?" Ares asked t
