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

"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

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."

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

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.
