Chapter 24

• After telling Ares all about the way she was touched by another man as a child, the topic was closed for Rose and she had assumed that Ares too had forgotten the incident. One year have passed in blur since the past came to light and the deafening silence sang a lullaby of false serenity.
• Rose was running through the headquarters of the Styx, underground web of the largest mafia Don, soft laughter bubbling through her neck was a siren song making the guards stiffen as they completely understood the woman's position.
• Ajax favored Rose just like Aurora. It would have been impossible for Ares to have Rose's clan under his wings if his father refused, it wasn't like a tug of war game.....rather a matter of respect. Ares had seen his father giving his heart and soul to their family and disrespecting the same man who had raised him with blood and tears would be the biggest of betrayals.
