Chapter Forty-EightRAVENI bite down on my lip as I stare at the text messages Ares has been sending me all morning. I shouldbe finalizing the model lineup for my upcoming show, but I keep daydreaming about my husband.Being with him has been better than I ever could’ve dreamed of. Everything I thought I’d never haveis within reach now.It makes me wonder if my suspicions about Hannah and Ares were true. He never seemed happyaround her — not the way he is with his family. I thought it’d just been my own wishful thinking, butmaybe it wasn’t.When he rejected me, I thought that was it for us. I was certain I’d never have another chance, andI’d have to watch him have his happily ever after with my sister. I never thought that’d only be thestart of our story.Ares: do you know what the best thing is about your wife being a supermodel?Raven: …working out together?Ares: Last night’s workout definitely was intense…Ares: But no, that’s not the best part. It’s all the pictures of you in lingerie that I don’t evenhave to sneakily take.Raven: you do realize everyone can see those photos, right?Ares: damn it, Rave. Don’t remind me of those creepy pervs that are always perving on you.The fact that you’re even thinking of them pisses me off. Seems like I didn’t fuck you hard enoughlast night, huh? I’ll make sure you won’t be able to think of anyone but me by the time the sun risestomorrow.I chuckle. I can’t help it. Ares has always seemed so levelheaded, so watching him lose his mindover me is just… it’s oddly heartwarming. I love how he keeps posting photos of us together everytime he gets pissed off about me appearing at an event with another man. He’s giving me the freedomto have my career without making me feel guilty about it, yet he’s reminding the world that I’m his inthe cutest way possible.Raven: Pervs be perving, my love. I’m not convinced that half those accounts aren’t actuallyjust secret fan accounts you’ve created to stalk me with, though.Ares: to be fair, that’s a pretty good idea. I should make a few more and drown them all out.
Brb, I have something really important to do.A soft giggle escapes my lips, and I press my lips together. He’s crazy, and he’s the exact sameguy I once fell in love with. The one I thought I’d lost over the years.“Raven?”I sit up at the sound of Hannah’s voice, my smile melting away. She walks into my office, herexpression unreadable. She hasn’t sought me out since she asked me to speak to Ares on her behalf,but I should’ve known the premiere would force her to come to me. I didn’t intend for it to be, but shewould’ve seen it as a declaration of war. Everything is always a battle for Hannah.“What can I do for you, Han? Do you need a dress for an event?”She stares at me as she sits down opposite me, her expression chilling. “Why are you acting like Ionly ever come to you when I need something? There’s no one here, Raven. You don’t need to pretendto be the good girl, the aggrieved sibling.”I tense as I suppress the hurt I feel at her words. “I’m sorry, what?”She crosses her arms. “Is that why you fucked my fiancee? Because you wanted revenge for theway I’ve treated you over the years?”“I… I…” I clear my throat and wrap my arms around myself, my heart racing.“Why did you show up at all, Raven? Why did you show up on my wedding day? You know aswell as I do that Grandma Anne never would’ve let your company fail, not even if Mom and Dad tookaway your funding. You never had anything to lose. If you’d just stayed away, they’d have had nochoice but to reschedule the wedding. Why did you do this to me?”I look away, unsure of what to say. I knew we’d have to have this conversation eventually, andI’ve gone over it in my head so many times… but now that I need them the most, I can’t find the wordsI need.“You know as well as I do that Ares values duty and loyalty above everything else. Do you thinkhe’s suddenly in love with you? So quickly? After the years he spent with me? Or do you think he’smaking the best of a tough situation and getting laid while he’s at it? You’re his wife now, so he feelshe needs to make you happy, no matter what that means for his own happiness. He’ll pretend till thevery bitter end if it makes his family happy — which, in his mind, now includes you.”She chuckles. “Do you know why we grew apart, Raven? It’s because I’ve always seen the wayyou looked at Ares. What kind of woman would lust after her sister’s fiance the way you did? Italways disgusted me. Did you know Ares and I used to joke about your little crush on him? He usedto think it was childish, but cute. He never once even saw you as a woman. But let me guess… youwore him down by seducing him?”My thoughts turn to the various outfits I wore around the house in an attempt to make him noticeme, the things I said and did.“Hannah,” I murmur, my voice soft. “What do you want? What does it all matter? I’m married toAres now.”She smiles at me and lifts her hand to her chest, twirling around the ring on her ring finger. Myblood runs cold when I recognize the ring she’s wearing. It’s her original wedding ring. The one Aresput on my finger the day we got married.“Not for long,” she tells me. “You might be the one he’s married to now, but once his duty to youis over, he’ll come straight back to me. I will always be the one he truly wants, the one he wisheswalked down that aisle. And you, my darling sister? You’ll always be my replacement, the one hewas forced to settle for. You chased after him knowing exactly what kind of damage you’d cause, butyou failed to account for the damage it’ll cause you in the end. No matter what you do, you will never
