The Runaway Hybrid King

Ch 03

Dianna's Point Of View

After we stopped by the club, there were people helping to put it together for opening night this coming weekend. I am happy that he was succeeding in what he wanted to do. His parents wanted him to run the family business, but he chose a different route that they supported.

When we were walking around the club, I could feel Aries' gaze following my every move. When I looked at him, he didn't once look away, which caused me to break eye contact first. Ever since he met Chad, he was never a fan of his. It was always the same and I never understood why.

Chad grabbed my hand, lacing our fingers with each other. I smiled and leaned in to kiss his lips. Chad and I have been together for almost three years now. We had the perfect relationship, according to my friends, but I would beg to differ.

Our relationship was never perfect, but I knew we both tried to keep our relationship going. We don’t argue about much and when we do argue, we make up and talk it out. We had great communication in our relationship, but sometimes Chad can be stressful, and maybe a little absent-minded.

When we first met, I always thought he was a total player. He was always surrounded by girls, it was sickening. I told him that I could never date someone who was busy with many girls. That was a year before we started dating.

He kept asking me out for almost a year, and then I agreed to go on a date with him. Our first date was great and very memorable. He didn’t take me to the movies like my boyfriend before him. Though Joshua was an amazing guy. Chad took me to a baking class a town over.

When I had asked him why, he said he remembered that I said I don’t like being impressed by expensive gifts. I had told him that maybe 5 months before our first date, and I was surprised he still remembered. I love that he was paying attention to what I was saying.

Though I also remember his eyes staring into my cleavage when I had worn that low-cut dress with no bra on. His eyes were stuck on my ass the entire time I walked by him in the dress that would have revealed everything underneath it if I had bent over in front of him. He could barely keep his eyes off me that night and I had lost count of how many times he begged me for a dance.

“Alright, we can go now. I'm taking you out tomorrow” He said to me.

We walked out of the club and, as always, Aries opened the back door of the car, letting me in, then closed the door. I rolled my eyes when the door opened and Chad got in. He stayed quiet as the car started moving. I told the driver to drop Chad off at his appointment because he said he had some stuff to take care of. The entire ride, I kept my head on his shoulder until we reached his building. I pulled Chad in for a kiss, and he groaned softly against my mouth and then pulled away.

“I will see you tomorrow, beautiful,” He said to me. I smiled at him, and he got out of the car, closing the door behind him.

Aries got out of the car for a little bit and I could only see his shadow walking past the window. When he got back, he joined me in the backseat and then Sergei went to the front seat. The car drove off and I watched Aries closely but he ignored my gaze.

When we got to my condo, the car waited for him and he took me up to my floor. Just as I was about to ask him why he was acting like an asshole towards Chad, a couple made their way into the elevator. Aries walked into my condo and did the usual check before he came back to the front door.

“Everything is fine now,” He said to me. I stepped in front of the door and smiled at him briefly.

“Why are you being an asshole to Chad?” I asked

“Excuse me?” He asked with a stern tone. I placed my bag down and folded my arms across my chest.

“You heard me, Aries. Why are you being an ass? He never did anything to you and you have been like this since you both met” pointed out. He chuckled.

“I don’t owe you an explanation. When I took this job, it was to protect you. I shouldn’t be opening any doors for him and I don’t see why you expect me to. If you have a problem, fire me” He said in a sharp tone. I was taken aback by his tone and I didn’t understand why he was saying I should fire him.

“I am not saying I am going to fire you, it just seems like you don’t like Chad and he never did anything to you,” I said to him

“I don’t like him, now if you will excuse me, I have somewhere to be,” He told me.

“Why don’t you like him, Aries?” I questioned. He stared at me, more like glaring.

“He doesn’t respect you and you don’t see it. Women can be so oblivious sometimes” He muttered, then shook his head.

He didn’t give me a chance to respond as he moved me out of the way and walked out. I sighed and locked the door behind me, then headed off to my bedroom. I couldn’t stop thinking about what my mom and my brother said. Could Aries have feelings for me? If he did, he never showed it.

After I finished eating dinner, I took a shower, then the doorbell rang. I tightened my robe and finished the last of my white wine. When I looked through the peephole, it was Chad. I opened the door and he walked in quickly and claimed my lips. He locked the door and I laughed as he lifted me off the floor, wrapping my legs around his waist.

"I have waited days for this, Baby" He said against my lips.

-POV SWITCH

-Aries/Aarini’s Point Of View

When I finally got back home, I took my suit jacket off and tossed it aside. I hated seeing her with him. I hated to see him holding her the way that I was supposed to. Everything about their relationship pisses me off and I hate it. I hated that I couldn’t kiss her better than he could or make her happier.

He is not good for her and she is too blind to see it. She believed everything that came out of his mouth and chose to ask me why I treated him the way I do. I don’t like him and it’s funny that she thinks that even after two years, that was going to change.

I knew that he was sleeping with a w***e named Jessica. One of the models that work for Dianna. Usually, I don’t pay attention to the bastard, but one morning he showed up smelling like Dolce and Gabbana perfume on him. Something Dianna doesn’t wear and she never seems to pick up on that.

I knew the cologne very well, especially the scent that lingers with it. I have had many encounters with the mistress and she is always flirting with me. Being thirsty and needy. Nothing angers me more, especially because that bastard made it so easy for her to get in his pants.

Tonight I was ready to tell Dianna that he was cheating on her. Tell her that most of the time he claims to be busy or out of town for work, but he is busy f*****g her employees. It has been going on for a year since I started working there. First, he would show guilt but he has gotten so used to the cheating, he just lives a double life so easily because Dianna lets him.

There aren’t enough words in the world to express how much I hated Chadrick. Dianna sees the *good* in him but I see a low down bastard who deserves to get beaten to the point where he can’t speak or move. My phone went off and I snapped out of my thoughts quickly. I pulled the phone out of my pocket and sighed when I saw the caller ID. Maxim Corvin.

“Hello,” I answered.

“Don’t act like you’re not happy to hear from me, Aarani. We promised to come to visit you out there,” He said to me.

“Yeah you did, but now is not the best time. I have work and so much going on right now” I said to him. He chuckled and that made me roll my eyes.

The Corvin’s are so hard to get rid of. They are so persistent and it annoys me. That is actually how we became best friends all those years ago. Apollo and I shared friends growing up, so I was surprised when they tracked me down to let me know that they didn’t believe my brother’s accusations.

“We are about to board the plane A. Sonya, Lucas, and I. We miss you” He said to me. I pinched the bridge of my nose and then slapped my palm against my forehead.

“Alright, no problem,” I told him.

“Okay, I will see you when we land. I don’t even know how long this flight will last, but whatever” He said to me. I hung up after that and sighed deeply.

After a while, I decided to go for a run. It has been a stressful couple of days and I needed it. I just hope it doesn’t take long for Dianna to find that the bastard is cheating on her. I would have told her but she would say that I don’t like him and she isn’t wrong.

I despise the fucker.
