The news shook the entire Alexandria family. Leilani and Aries headed for the climax mansion, all quiet in the limo. None of them said a word for a while in the uncomfortable silence. "Did you do it?" Aries asked with a dark brooding expression on his face. He didn't look at her.Her heart squeeze with venomous hatred of what he was insinuating "I beg your pardon." His harsh gaze shut her up. "Did you kill Viana's child?" It wasn't a question; it was an accusation. His true colours were showing. They say a man can't hide his true self forever. Leilani smiled a bitter smile. "You think I did, so there's no need to defend myself." She turned to stare at the other cars on the road but she couldn't see anything in her tear glassed eyes.They arrived at the mansion, all of them settled in the family meeting room.The godfather's presence was gory and frightening today. His eyes held no laughter or amusement. Leilani sat staring into space like a ghost.Her hair was a mess. She was sti
The sound of birds chirping in the air sounded like the wails of fake tears and sobs slipping from the eyes and lips of half the congregation Viana didn't know.The air was stale, the weather dark and the hymns miserable.The black decorations weren't helping the gloomy state of the environment.Yes, the day was miserable, just like she felt seeing them put her son's coffin on the ground.The godfather had locked her in a cell until the burial. She could only cry, nothing else.It hurt.Everything hurt.Eros was nowhere to be seen.Bodyguards watched her from all angles. She couldn't even breathe, she felt suffocated.She was in a very murderous mood as she watched Leilani and Alex dropped their flowers on the grave.She hated them.One look at Leilani's swollen belly, and she knew she wanted to kill the bitch and her unborn child.If she couldn't be happy, why should anyone be happy?Bile filled her throat as Sharon cast her a pitiful gaze, Georgina and Army quietly cried beside her.
Splash!The water dripped from his face, soaking his white shirt. His step sister laughed venomously. Admiring the cup of water she just threw at him. Her eyes raking him up and down, she licked her bright red lips."Stripe for me," she said in a coy voice, as he looked at her with a horrified expression on his face. He undid his buttons. She cocked her head to the side."I want you to do it on your knees," she sneered, walking around the kitchen cabinet. She grabbed herself a vodka, pouring it into a glass. Aries couldn't hide the disgust he felt, but he kept an expressionless face as he got on his knees. She watched him sipping from her glass slowly.Viana was losing her patience. Tossing her glass in the sink, she walked up to him and placed her leg on his shoulder. Her pink thong, disgustingly exposed in her thin nightgown, her nipples were very visible. He closed his eyes as she reached out to touch him. It irritated Viana. With anger, she used her feet to stomp on his face re
"NO!" the cold, heartless words still echoed in his head. As he held the list of chores for the day in his hand. He held back tears — painful, resentful, angry tears. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes, deep in thought."What were you expecting, that he would care?. That he would be interested in your life in your education?" the voice in his head laughed at him. "It would be better for him if you didn't exist," the voice continued to mock him.He shook his head, putting on his headphones; he began cleaning. He swept, mopped, dusted and scrubbed the floors, cabinets and carpets. He did the laundry, avoiding any of Viana's under wears, then he did the dishes. On finishing his chores, he quickly showered, opening his wardrobe. He had only three white shirts and two pairs of jeans.Aries put on a shirt and jeans. Picking up his bag, he headed out for work. He walked briskly on the streets of the rich kids as it drizzled. He walked even faster. A sports car came towards him wi
The coin flipped in the air. Everything seemed to go in slow motion. Aries closed his eyes, lost in thought. Was he scared? Yes, he was frightened as hell. Shaking in his boots?.Running screaming for help seemed like an option, but his life wasn't worth living. If he died right now, would he see his mom again? Would she be in that place people called heaven? He stopped breathing when he heard her cork her gun. "One.... Two... Three.." she counted. His heart beat wildly in his chest. Like, for fuck sakes, who was he kidding? He wanted to so desperately live. Even though he didn't deserve to, he just couldn't die yet. It wouldn't be fair. He broke into a cold sweat, jerking as a loud shot fired through the air. "Heads" the blonde girl said, a bit disappointed, a mummer of boos echoed among her gang of girls. Sirens wailed in the distance and the girl cursed under her breath. "The name's Army, A-R-M-Y." she introduced herself, a creepy grin on her face as a whiff of weed came off
He closed his eyes, leaning in to kiss her.She placed a finger on his lips and chuckled, " Well, aren't we naughty?" she cocked her head to the side, chuckling softly. Which he found too cute. He looked away, embarrassed. He just attempted to kiss a stranger. What on earth was wrong with him this evening? She wanted him to live. His heart fluttered at the thought that there was someone out there who wanted him to live. What should he say? He tried to think? After his mother died, he entered a stage of depression in which he lost all his confidence. The lady seemed to notice a change in his demeanor. "I'll take my leave now, have a goodnight," she greeted politely, walking towards the doors. He sat in silence, thinking of how to speak. He had an internal battle with himself. Taking a deep breath, he yelled at the top of his lungs. "Excuse me, what is your name?" his heart raced in his chest, slamming against his rib cage as he ran after her. She waved him goodbye, a wide grin on
The morning began with screams Aries had tossed and turned all night. He had an interview at oxford university today, and it required twenty-four hours of exclusive rest for his brain to function properly, but last night he barely got an hour of good sleep. His father and stepmother were preparing for their weekend business trip. Greg played loud music all night and since Aries room was the only one that wasn't sound proof he heard it all night. The bastard literally played rock and roll most of the night. Viana's snore didn't help the situation either, it was currently 3:00am and he was cranky as hell. Someone knocked his room door and he groaned in annoyance, dragging his feet towards the door. He opened it to see Suzy a little sleepy eyed. He bent down, picking her up in his arms. "Suzy darling, is something wrong?" Aries asked, noticing how early it was.Her big sleepy eyes looked up at him "I'm thirsty," she mumbled. He rocked her, taking a stroll to the kitchen as he fetch
His heart was painfully beating in his chest as he fell to his knees. The interviewer didn't look pleased as he was indeed almost 30 minutes late for the interview. "Please give me a chance" he begged. The interviewer looked at him with contempt. The other interviewers seemed to pity him.The interviewers phone rang he picked it up, a serious expression on his face. He rubbed his chin adjusting his glasses."Interesting, I believe you will be useful" the impeccably dressed man said as he got off the phone. They began the interview."Brilliant, Mr Aries Cole. Your replies are accurate and factual, I look forward to having you in oxford" the interviewer was pleased so where the others.Aries breath a sigh of relief staring at the ceiling the world seemed to spin tears fell from his eyes. "Mr Cole" someone called "Is he bleeding?" another asked he lifted his finger to his nose blood stained his fingers. Aries smiled as he lost consciousness.The sound of the beeping monitors woke him u
