Sir Ares, Goodnight

Sean's smile dwindled, almost like sand in an hourglass. The more he tried to recollect himself, the more obvious his frenzy showed. Once again, he experienced the terror that was Jay Ares.

"Your ultimate goal is to make me hate you so that I'd destroy Bell Enterprise for you. That's why you used Rose Loyle, correct?" With every bit of his front ruthlessly dismantled by Jay, all that was left of Sean Bell was his riddled fragile self.

His handsome features were pale and drained of blood! His body began to shake and tremble.

Although, he quickly lifted his head in confusion and spoke suspiciously, "I don't know what you mean, Master Ares."

He refused to believe that Jay knew of his malicious intent.

There was no way Jay could find out his true intentions toward Bell Enterprise so quickly. Not when he had worn this facade for years and had minimal encounters with Jay. "Let's make a deal!" Jay closed his eyes. When he opened them again, they flared with a strong man's

desire to control.

Sean prodded. "What do you propose?"

"I'll avenge your mother for you. How's that for a bargaining chip?" Despite his light-hearted tone, Jay's words sunk deep into Sean's chest, leaving craters in its wake. Sean trembled like a caged animal. "My mother died through suicide, Master Ares. She jumped off a building. There's no enemy to avenge."

"Suicide or not, I'm sure you know better than I do." i
