"How did you find me?" I ask lowly but low enough to where he could still heard me.
"Christian saw you" he said
We stood in silence for a minute before speaking again.
"Kiya" Ares broke the silence.
I shook my head not wanting to hear his voice.
I could hear his light footsteps walking towards me, as he gets closer to me my heart beats faster and faster.
We stood side by side with his hand brushing against my hand.
"I never gave up looking for you" he said
My words couldn't even come out, my opened but no words came out.
"I know you probably hate me, I don't blame you. I hate myself for saying what I did that night, it's been on repeat in my head. Kiya I can't leave here knowing that you hate me for everything. For everything that my family has put you through... that I've put you through."
I stood there in silence facing the desk looking out the window. He turned his body to face me.
"Neonata please talk to me"
I took in a deep breath holding onto the desk as hard as I could. "You're getting married"
What I wanted to say is that it should've been me but that's selfish of me to say so, I left I had my chance.
"Yes, I am" he said
"I'm proud of you" tears streamed down my face
"Kiya" he said softly "You left, I had no choice to move on"
"No choice?" I almost started to laugh
I faced him looking up into his pretty light gray eyes "You said with your own words you didn't want me anymore. You had a choice Ares and you chose to push me away. You chose that decision on your own" I said
"Kiya I wanted you to be safe" he said
"I was safer with you than I've ever been with anyone. But this is what you wanted now I'm safe here in Russia" I said
"You think you're safe here Kiya? You're in more danger here than you were in California. You're wanted by the cops in California because of Xavier. The whole Mexican Cartel wants your head on a platter. You have the Italian mafia behind you Kiya, I thought you were safe in Italy but babygirl you put Zeus's side of my family against you by killing Artemis. It's the Mafia against the Cartel now Kiya you have to choose Russia or Italy. I can't protect you here."
"Protect me?! Now you want to protect me? My life was completely fine when you weren't in it! Everyone I've ever loved died because of you and your family. You should've protected that seventeen year old by staying the hell out of her life! I can't even go a day without thinking about Kaiden. He was the only person that could protect me, my only sibling I had left my only twin brother. My heart hurts everyday for him. And I'm not the one who killed Xavier, you are! You're wanted by the police not me! You ruined my life, your family ruined my life. I hate you and your family"
"You don't mean that" he steps closer
"I mean that with all my fucking heart. I. Hate. You." I pushed his chest.
"Stop" he said
"No! I hate you!" I pushed him again and again and again.
I couldn't stop pushing and hitting him, I needed to let it all out.
He grabs my hands preventing me from hitting him anymore. "You think I don't hate myself! I hate myself too Kiya! I hate that I can't stop thinking about you! I hate that you have power over me!"
