I will never be his truly

Chapter 4: Something's missing

Ares pov

Years ago I would have said my life was a dream being with my dream girl, being a billionaire, and having so many businesses. To be honest all of that doesn't matter anymore I hate my life. I lay in my bed naked with Kylie lying on my chest with the sheets covering her breasts.

I don't know how to feel about our relationship anymore. I don't know if I'm in love with her anymore it feels like I wake up next to a stranger all the time. Like yesterday we had this huge argument about her not having time for my family her excuse was they were my family and not hers we then just had makeup sex honestly it feels more like one-night stands than love lately.

Kylie and our relationship is just sex these days I want something more meaningful but it's too late now six months ago I proposed to her I sometimes wonder did I ever really love her because we have been on and off more than I count.

There were times when I was thinking of calling this engagement off but then I thought about how happy she was when I proposed to her so keep telling myself she would be a better person when we married but I don't know anymore Also Her father has 20% share with one of my companies it could just ruin everything.

I look at my phone just to see I am late for work. I  get into the shower leaving my bed. Once I'm done I  get out of the shower putting on my suit. I spot Kylie talking to someone on the phone in a flirtatious tone i then just roll my eyes she always does this in my presence too.

Once Kylie is done she comes to me grabbing me by the collar and pulling me in for a sloppy kiss, "So I was thinking why don't we get married at Malibu beach it's summer it would be so beautiful baby," she says and I just sigh saying," Sure anything you want why don't you talk to my mother about it she would love to help you plan,"

Kylie then just lets go of me rolled her eyes and said," Baby I know she is your mother but she is so old and her style is so outdated for me so I was thinking why don't you help me plan," I hate how she speaks about my mother

" Listen Kylie I will help you plan but if you don't stop disrespecting my mother there will be no wedding to plan," her eyes then go wide and she quickly says, "Baby I did not mean it to sound that way I just wanted to spend some time with you," I then just hug her and say, "And we will spend time but now I got to head to work."

I arrive at work feeling very frustrated calling Cara to read out my schedule which she does I then see my best friend Nick come waltzing in and saying, "You know sometimes I think you will die miserably with your face looking so grumpy all the time," I mutter under my breath, "Always what fucking Kylie's wants," Nick must hear me cause he asks," Trouble in paradise?"

I  just sigh and say, "Kylie wants a lavish Malibu wedding and she wants me to plan it with her," Nick then all of a sudden laughs," What do you see in that controlling bitch anyways?"

I look at him with a blank expression and say, "That bitch will be my wife soon," Nick then just lifts his hands indicating he doesn't mean any harm," You know I know a famous wedding planner company it did my brother's Jamie's wedding she is famous for her work,"  I then ask him, "What the companies name," he then says," I think it's Destiny Wed's," I then shout for Clara to set a date for me to meet up with this Destiny Wed's in New I read it's one of New Yorks top wedding planners.

Nick  orders lunch for the two of us and asks," How are you doing Ares?" I turn to him and say," I don't know to be honest,"

Nick asks," Is this got to with Kylie?" I tell him about Kylie and my mother he say's," Kylie is honestly a bitch" I look at him with a serious expression

"Watch it Kylie will be my wife soon," and  I start to hear the sound of someone walking with heels in my office saying, "Does still make her a bitch though, "I look up just to see it's my sis which I say facing her, "Don't you have something better to do with your life other than be in my business maybe like modeling."

Nick says," No I kinda like your sis being in your life she kinda spices it up," Layla then looks at Nick and says," Thanks Nick my favorite freak," she then turns serious and faces me

"But bro you can't seriously think of marrying her she is so wrong for you" I sighed and said," I love her Layla," Layla then just rolled her eyes, "Whatever bro you could have had an easy life," she says I just sigh we then all start to chat about some things.

I am finally almost done with my work when Clara comes in saying, "Destiny Wed's main wedding planner can only meet you in two days," I just agree to tell Clara to book me two plane tickets for New York.

I decide to go home as I'm driving past I spot a candy store which is making me feel for something sweet now. I decide to go inside just see lots of candy and I spot something familiar which is gummy bears it makes me think of a certain someone Rhea I honestly miss her. I wish I could take all those bad things back, when she left I felt a part of me was missing.

I always ask Layla how she is or where is she all Layla does is just change the topic regarding Rhea. I know she and Layla remained friends cause Layla still makes bestie posts or wishes her on Instagram. Layla just never talks about her in my presence it's like she never existed in my world. I wonder if I will ever see her I miss her so much she was one of the best things that ever happened to me and I took our friendship for granted when I insulted her that night.

You know the saying you only start to appreciate something when it's gone I learned a lot from that saying when she left. I would do anything for Rhea to come back into my life. I then pay for the gummy bears and head home.

I arrive at my penthouse just to see it's empty. I get a message from Kylie saying," I won't be at home tonight as she is hanging out with her girls." she always does this it's nothing new. I  shower order food and relax on my bed watching Turkish shows. I start to wonder how Rhea is doing will I ever see her again? I soon fall asleep feeling empty as hell.
