After taking long-cold-shower, Ares decided to finally get out and get dress. His mind was seeking for his sister so he went to her room, but to his despair, she's not there.

Until he remembered that they might be at the movie room and he's right though, as he saw the siblings snuggled to each other that he took some photo of them to keep.

"Eros wake up and go sleep to your room, tomorrow we have a place to go." He said, before he scooped up Artemis from his arms and carried her to his room.

He look down at her beautiful face and whispered to her ear how much he love her that tomorrow there will be a big surprise waiting for her.

He carefully settle her down on his bed and tucked her in, before he joined her and wrapped his arms around her tiny body.

"Sweer dreams bambina." He whispered and close his eyes.

But even he closed his eyes and tried to sleep, there is one face that keep visiting his mind; her green eyes and red soft lips that he desirably wanted to taste again.

But he pushed that thoughts because he knew deep inside, that he's not deserving for her.

Morning came and Luna woke up and wondering why Ares is snuggling on her and not Rosy. She remember, they were watching movie so why she's here in Ari's room?

"Ari, wake up." She murmurs and wiggles because she needs to go to bathroom. But Ares didn't move even a little and smothered her more.

"Ari, I need to pee!" She squeaked then poking his cheek. He just hum in reply, and Luna couldn't hold it anymore.

"ARI!" She yelled at his ear, that makes Ares open his eyes in shock while covering his ear. He's squinting at her smiling face before attacking her with tickles.

"No! No Ari please S-stop—-." She squealed and try to cover her waist with her hands as if it could help her from the tickle monster.

"Say sorry to me first and I will let you go." He says while continuing on his attack.

"O-okay—- sorry Ari, Please , can I go?" She asked softly.

"Alright Bambina. But make it quick and dress good, we have some place to go after breakfast." Luna tilt her head to look at him, wondering where they will go, but shrugged it off and went to do her business.

On the other part of the house, Delilah was in so much pain because she didn't take any pain medicine since yesterday, and when she lift up her shirt to check her ribs, it's bruised and shaded in purple and greenish color, contrast to her pale skin. She looks skinny and she felt so disgusted to look at her body that's why she immediately pull down her shirt.

She didn't sleep. Even she tried to.

And it's very obvious on the dark circles under her eyes. Looking at her face, she realized how ugly she is. That's why Ares reacted like that last night.

'Who will even like a girl like me? I'm not attractive and has nothing to be proud of. I was abused and broken and nobody will take a broken girl. NO ONE.'—-she said to herself.

She was just here to help Zuzu to get back to his family. So she souldn't expect anything, she added.

"Delilah?" Lucy called. Delilah snapped out of her trance and instantly open her door.

"It's time for breakfast,—- Signore Ares and Signora Luna wants you to come down to join them." Lucy informed and smile at Delilah.

She's not hungry and just want to stay at her room because she's still full from yesterday but she doesn't want Ares to have any idea that she's affected by last night.

So she will go down and join them.

On the dining table, the twins were there too and Samantha. Her eyes avoiding their gazes specially Samantha who was not staring but shooting her with murderous glare.

"And why she's eating with us, Ares?" Samantha asked with a frown while her eyes are still with Delilah.

Delilah halt herself to take her seat and looked at Eros and Luna who are also stunned by Samantha's question.

"Samantha, you have no right to ask whoever I want to invite to eat in this table." Ares replied in stern voice before saying Delilah to have a seat opposite to Samantha who has annoyed expression. Luna didn't like Samantha because she's so meany at her. She makes Delilah feel so scared and nervous and she doesn't like it all. The twins noticed their sister's reaction and by the looks of it they think that Samantha need to know her place in this house.

"If someone who isn't welcome to eat here—-with us, it has to be you." Hades told Samantha straight to her face in a voice that could make someone to cower.

All the forks and knives dropped on the plates.

The tension at the dining room become so thick, you can cut it with a knife.

Samantha feels so embarassed and she knew that she needs to leave so she stood up with tears on her eyes while Ares just rolled his eyes at her because she's being so dramatic and out of control.

When she's gone, all the boys look at his direction and without talking Ares knew what they want.

The answer of why she's here.

When Luna and Delilah were done on their breakfast, Ares asked Delilah to bring her to her room because whatever he's going to say to his brothers is inappropriate for a child a like her.

"Okay first I want to tell you that I am sorry for my previous decision, I know it's not right and I regret it. Well, she's here because she said that she's pregnant." Ares announced. Hades and Apollo together with Eros were all speechless with mouth ajar. And it's been like that for few seconds before Ares cleared his throat.

"I know you will ask, how did this happen. But even me was so confused and keep asking why. But if it is really mine, I told her that I will take the responsibility because the unborn child has no mistake in this. And it's my blood, my child."

"You could've told us." Apollo replied.

"I know but I have reason, one of that was I am not going to marry her even she's carrying my child because I don't love her. I tried but my heart never feel anything for her and I would rather be single than to have a woman and ended up like father and Violeta." The three look at him and they know what he's talking about and they nod their heads to tell Ares that they understood.

"But why she needs to be here? You can send her to your penthhouse instead." Apollo asked.

"I know but she cried and tell me that she doesn't want to be alone and I feel so guilty because I am part of it and I don't want to give her more stress as it will affect the baby."

"Ares I really don't understand why you didn't tell us?" Hades asked because he was really pissed at him when he left them and lived alone on his penthhouse.

"Because I don't want you to look at me indifferently because as I said I will not going to marry her." And the three boys just rolled their eyes for his weak reason.

"Ares, you should never think of us like that. You are our brother and we will never stop looking at you as our big brother. I will never look at that one single mistake than the millions of good things that you've done to me, to us." Eros told him that makes Ares look at him in shock that he immediately put his hands on his shoulder.

"Thank you Eros."

"Anyway what about Delilah?" Eros asked all of the sudden, making the twins and Ares smile at him in return.

"You will see." Ares responded before taking his last bite of his food. The twins already knew who she is and they truly grateful for her that Hades wants to apologize for his rudeness the other day but trying to find a good moment to do that.

After they were done on their breakfast, the guys went to their sister's room and found Delilah and Luna playing with her dolls. Delilah stare at Ares but lower her gaze when he's about to look at her. Ares on the other hand didn't like it but shrugged it off.

"Bambina are you ready?"

"Yes!" She replied happily. Ares asked Delilah if she likes to come with them, causing her to look at him directly.

"I-I w-will just s-stay here. And t-thank you for a-asking." She stuttered. She doesn't want to go because she's really in pain and don't want to ruin their family reunion. She will just take some rest and wait Zuzu at the house.

Ares frowned because it's not the answer that he expected from her. He wants her to come with them but if that is her decision, he will respect that.

"Fine." He said and walk away from her.

Delilah let out a deep sigh and decided to just go back to sleep on her room.

After few hours, Delilah woke up from her slumber because her stomach growls so loud. When she looked at the time, it's past lunch time and decided to come down and ask Mr. Hugo for food.

"Hello Mr. Hugo, can I have some food?" she asked sweetly making the chef smile at her.

"Ofcourse sweety. I just cooked Penne Gorgonzola with chicken, would you like that?"

"I don't know that food but I will love to have it Mr. Hugo." She said and happy to herself that she said that sentence without stuttering.

"Alright sweety so did you want to eat here or at the dining room." He was aware of what happened last time with her and Samantha and they also found her bitchyness towards her for that it's better that she eats in the kitchen than let her have another encounter with the witch.

"I'd like to eat here." She responded and take her seat while Mr. Hugo started to prepare her food. Her eyes sparkles under the light when the food was placed in front of her.

"Thank you so much Mr. Hugo. It's really looks so tasty." Mr. Hugo's smile never falter because of her praised. Delilah was really happy because he's so kind to her and for that she's so shy not to finish the whole plate of Pasta. Even herself couldn't believe that she ate all of it, thinking that maybe she's so hungry or maybe the food was really that good.

Soon, she bids goodbye to him and decided to go back at her room, but to her dismay Samantha was there. She's standing outside her room with so much hatred of her face.

"WHY THE F*CK YOU'RE HERE B*TCH! are you planning to take Ares from me?" She snarled. Her nails digging on her slim arms and she has no power to stop her.

"I don't h-have any idea w-what you're talking a-about." She replied. But Samantha was so pissed. She knew that Delilah mean something to Ares and she will never allow that to happen. She needs to do something.

"GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE! A girl like you doesn't belong here. You're ugly, stupid and unwanted. You should go and runaway because Ares is MINE! So go and never come back! " She said and when she saw her trembling, a devilish smile appear on her face.

Delilah on the other hand was so hurt for everything she said, because for her, all she said is true. She's ugly, stupid and unwanted; her mother don't want her, her master abused her and here? She doesn't know yet but she's Ares girlfriend and he will believe her.

Anyway her mission for Zuzu was accomplished so she thought maybe it's time for her to leave. And without hesitation, she quickly turned her back away from her and run outside the house without knowledge of where she will go.

She's crying and hurt. And asking herself why there are some people like her and Jack who love to see other people's misery.

"Hey Miss, where are you going and why are you crying again?"

Delilah suddenly look up at the person who talked and recognized him as the guard who helped her before.

"Hi—- uhm, I am leaving now."

"What? But why?" He asked while his eyes filled with so much worry.

"They don't need me now—- and I really need to go." She replied, because of her pain and sadness she didn't know what she's saying, if it is correct or not, all she is thinking right now is to be away for some time.

"Do you know where you're going to? Because I can't see any bag with you. And it's so dangerous to go out from this place especially to a girl like you." He said, trying convince her to change her mind. But Delilah wanted some space to think about everything.

"I don't know where to go but it doesn't matter—— I just want to get away for some time." She said while looking at her feet. Tears are still flowing and she has no power to stop it because of the overflowing emotions that she's having right now.

"Alright, if you like you can come to my house for the meantime. I won't hurt you I promise. I just want to help you and I will not allow you to go because it's really dangerous outside." Delilah stare at his eyes to see that the guy has serious face. And he is truly serious about his offer.

"I am Gerard and I am working here for very long time so trust me that I will not do anything bad to you. My house is just near and we could walk if you like." Gerard told her. Delilah feels the sincerity on his voice and for now his offer is really enticing, especially that she has no other options.

"Okay, I am Delilah Jade—- and I am taking your offer." She said before she smile at him. Gerard smile back and told her that he will just informing his reliever that he will go home now.

After few minutes the two get out from the tall gate enroute to his house which he informed will takes only 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, Samantha feels so delighted on what she did to Delilah.

And she will do everything just to make sure that Ares will be hers, even he said that he doesn't love her. Because she embedded to her mind that in the end he's gonna learn to love her.
