Family- I

There were always secrets in a family, especially when it came to business. Ares’ father had gone to great lengths to keep him away from the darker side of their empire, shielding him from the filth that had helped build their fortune. But wealth like theirs didn’t appear out of thin air, and not all of his father’s dealings were clean. Ares had always known that.. he just hadn’t been forced to face it until now.

Now, however, he was a man, and his father had decided it was time for him to take part in all aspects of the business. Was it because of the girl? Yes. But that didn’t change the fact that Ares was meant to take over one day. If he wanted to sit at the head of the table, he had to prove he could stomach what it took to maintain their empire.



The club.

On the surface, it was just another high-end nightclub, a place for the elite to drink, dance, and indulge. But beneath the flashing lights and pulsing music, the basement held a different kind of playground. Ares had spent the last two weeks there, overseeing its operations, learning firsthand what went on behind closed doors. He had lost count of how many times he had walked into something that made his stomach turn. He had vomited at least a dozen times. And he wasn’t sure if he would ever get used to it.

His hands clenched into fists as he stood in his father’s office, rage simmering beneath his skin.

“Does Mom know?” Ares spat, his voice sharp with barely restrained anger.

His father leaned back in his chair, unfazed by his son’s outburst. “She knows enough.”



That answer made Ares’ stomach churn all over again. Did that mean she was complicit? Did she know everything that happened down there? The twisted indulgences of the rich, the things that money could buy when there were no moral limits?

Ares didn’t know what sickened him more.. the thought of his mother knowing and accepting it, or the idea that she had been blind to it all along.
