" Come in." He said as he heard a knock on the door still looking at the file he was working on. He heard someone clearing her throat. He looked up and smirked. " You are late, Ms. Brentwood." He said and she rolled her eyes and sat across him.

" I am not late, you just have a lot of fans of mine working in your office and I can't act rude with my fans. After all they love me. I them them as well." She said smirking back at him.

" Oh!!!" He said.

" Now tell me why do you need to meet me again?" She asked him.

" I am happy that you respected my words." He said.

" How can I not when you poisoned my mom's brain like that?!" She gritted. He smirked.

" Oh, it was easy to talk to Mrs. Brentwood. She is too generous and sweet lady. Can't you be like her at least a bit?"  He asked her.

" I have no reason to be sweet with my cheater ex. Do I?" She asked.

" I haven't cheated. Who poisoned your brain?" He asked gritting.

" We were fake anyways. At least you could've told me. But you broke the conditions in the contract." She said glaring at him.

" I did nothing like that. At least you should give me a chance to explain." He said.

" I saw you kissing that girl." She gritted fisting her hands.

" I didn't kiss her. She did it. You should have wait to figure out things till the end." He said angrily getting frustrated by then.

" Why? What have you done till the end?! Had s*x with her?!" She said and he looked at her getting extremely angry.

" I told you not to accuse me with that reason. Even if we were not real I have never cheated on you." He said.

" Whatever. Why are you explaining these now? You no need to explain me anything. We were not the real couple. So you can do whatever you want without thinking about explaining me." She said.

" I do. I don't want to let you go and I definitely don't like you being with that stupid guy. What his name was!!! Oh, yeah Benjamin Haykes. Just stay away from him." He said.

" Jerk!!!" She gritted. " I don't take orders." She said.

" Alright, what about I stop investing in your mom's recent project? You know it will make her go bankrupt." He said smirking at her. She looked at him with widen eyes.

" You can't do that, Ares." She said.

" Oh, I can do that, Sweetheart. I can definitely do that." He said smirking more. " I can send that stupid guy to jail as well. You have no idea what actually I can capable of doing if you don't do as I say." He said.

" What do you want me to do?" She asked glaring at him.

" Come back to me." He said.

" Never." She gritted.

" Alright. I got it. You will only understand when you will see what I can do, right? No worries. I will surely help you." He said. He took his phone and called someone. " Hello, Mr. Carrol." He waited for the other side to response. " Yeah, everything is fine. I just wanted to know if I take back my investment from Brentwood's recent project what will happen?" He asked and put the phone on speaker.

" Well, sir. If you take back your shares then they will not be able to complete contractions in time and the other investors will take back their shares as well and there will be a highly risk of getting them in trouble." Mr. Carrol said and her eyes widened.
