Valerie's povThe train of the Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped. Up to three cars behind us and four at our front.The gentle hum of the engine ceased, and the soft click of the doors unlocking signalled that we had arrived.The grandness of the car didn't comfort me.I was nervous, my palms slightly damp, but Ares remained surprisingly calm.He looked confident, majestic even, as if he didn't care if we got the seal today. Today was the day we had been waiting for, the day Ares' father summoned us to the family estate.Meanwhile, we had another mission of we have to execute more like I have to execute: I had to steal the seal, no matter what.Ares has already helped me so much, and this was the only way I could repay him.I felt Ares' hand skim my back in a comforting gesture, and I turned to look at him. His eyes met mine with a reassuring gaze."It'll be fine, dear. Remember, it's a pear-shaped key. It should probably be connected to his phone pouch, alright?" he said softly.I nodded,

Valerie's povI smiled as I watched the trees pass by, the greenery blurring into a sea of life as our car sped along the highway.The landscape was a comforting blur, reminding me of simpler times.At least everything in I and Ares' life has been settled.Today was a day of purpose, a day to give back, and my heart swelled with anticipation as I thought about the charity program.I had always live giving out to the less privileged.The anticipation of helping those in need brought a genuine smile to my face.The car pulled up to the grand entrance of the venue, a beautifully restored old building that now served as the headquarters for the international orphanage network. As I stepped out, I was greeted by the warm, appreciative smiles of the officials. Their eyes sparkled with hope and gratitude, making me feel like I was about to do something truly meaningful.Inside, the hall was bustling with activity. Children of all ages were engaged in various activities, their laughter echoin

Valerie's PovI glanced at Mr. Ares and stood up immediately, my anger boiling over unexpectedly. "What if this is a trap?"He frowned at the obvious tone of my voice and patted the boy's back in assurance."Please call over one of your secretaries to watch over him, Mr. Ares. We need to talk!" My voice was firm, and the tone pushed him away.Mr. Ares? Since when did I call him that?He nodded all the same and called in the head secretary to come and take the boy. The boy threw a huge tantrum as he held on tightly to me, and Ares frowned.I managed to calm the boy down, and the instant the door was shut, I shot him a hard glare as I stood up."That was no way to behave in front of a child!" I scolded him because I didn't find it anywhere near amusing. Like, why was he asking me this? Couldn't he see the scared expression on the little boy's face?"He's the enemy's child!""But still a child, okay?! He doesn't deserve that!" I was angry, really very angry.He sighed as he stared at me,

Valerie's POVAs I leaned my head into the soft leather of Ares' car, a wave of tranquility washed over me. I'd never felt more at peace. A smile crept across my face as I thought about Alex. That little boy had found his way into my heart faster than a freight train. Most people would think I'd resent him because he's my ex-husband's love child, but that wasn't the case at all. He's such a sweet child who didn't deserve to see any more of Daniel's wrath.I ran my hand unconsciously over my belly. The thought of my own baby filled me with joy. I couldn't wait to shower my child with so much love that they'd likely feel overwhelmed by it. I smiled and turned to Ares, who had been watching me intently."Lunch?" he asked, breaking the silence."Alright, dear, we'll go to a restaurant!" I nodded happily and turned to stare out the window, watching the landscape blur as we drove.When we arrived at the restaurant, I insisted on a more casual place. I didn't want too much attention, and I'v

Valerie's povI sighed to myself as I unwrapped the blanket and reached out to the other side of the bed, only to find it empty.A small grunt escaped my lips as I sat up, running a hand through my hair. Once again, I had fallen asleep in Ares' room. The thought made me blush heavily as I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stood up.His scent lingered in the room, a comforting reminder of the man I had come to love so deeply. I made my way to the bathroom, the cool tiles under my feet waking me up fully. A quick glance at the clock told me it was late morning."Ares must have gone to the office already," I murmured to myself as I stepped into the shower. The warm water cascaded over me, washing away the remnants of sleep. I let my thoughts drift to Ares, his smile, his touch, and the way he made me feel like the most important person in the world. He has proven himself to be everything.I took my time in the shower, letting the water soothe my muscles. When I finally stepped o
