"I'd like to make a toast, '' Mr Kingsley said, putting his cup forward.He has just announced the news about Ares and Elena's engagement. Whispers spread like wildfire when Ares was asked to step on the stage alongside Elena. Some sent him disgusting stares, one that dims him unworthy of being with one of them but he wasn't bothered, he had one mission to set straight and it's exactly what he's gonna do.The guests move forward with their glass waiting for Me Kingsley to go ahead before they finally make a toast."Welcome to the Family Son" Me Kingsley says his tune dripping with Sarcasm. The death glares Mrs Kingsley kept sending at Ares is enough to make him squirt and run off yet he remains nonchalant."You'll regret this" Mrs Kingsley spat, turning on her shoes and walking off the stage.Elena spared him a quick glance before tailing behind her mother. "You see, no one wants you and the sooner you get that into your thick head, the better" Mr Kingsley mumbled, his lips spreadi

"Here, sign this" David moves forward the folder in which contains the contract; meaning all power is now handed down to Ares.Ares stared at the file skeptical on what to do. A few days back he was just some ordinary middle class man and all of sudden things took a turn and he's not New York's A list Billionaire and also is going to be a leader of an organization he knows nothing about.How absurd!If anyone had ever told him that this would happen, he'd probably look the person in the face and laugh it off. Never in his wildest imaginations did he see this coming."I get that this is all overwhelming but there's really nothing we could do as it is we don't have much time. So the earlier you sign this and take over the better" David reasons.Ares nods, clicking the pen out. He filled in every spot with his signature till it was time to sign the final one, he paused. "What happens after this?"David chuckles, "You just have to wait and find out" Ares gave him a separated look before

"What are you doing here?" Elena asks, sending daggers his way. He had just arrived at the DuPont's mansion and she happened to be the first person he bumped into aside from the guards and servants that surrounded the environment. Ares shrugs, "I can say the same for you? I see you're fond of meeting me whenever I get invited" he only said that to irk her and he hit the goal.she scoffed, amazed by Ares's audacity, "Excuse me! last time I checked it's my parent's house, not yours so I have every goddamn rights to go about any place I please" "I never said you didn't have any, I'm just saying that you are becoming used to having me around that you could no longer withhold yourself or not; but mind you, it's only a matter of days before you get my name next to yours" He wink brushing past her.He never lets her get the last say, he doesn't give her that advantage. Ares could almost hear her grunts and curses yet he pretended oblivious and walked his way into the living room as guide

After the talk with Ares and Mama, they both made their way back in preparation for the wedding party courtesy of the Kingsley. Ares frowned as he got dressed in the outfit the Kingsley had chosen for him. It's a customized beige tux. Ares isn't a fan of shouty colors. Anything that's not dark and hidden, count him out."You look good, Master" Henry said completely as he helped him with his tie. Ares shot him a glare, "Is this necessary?" he couldn't help but ask. Henry shakes his head, "No Sir, you have the right to back out anytime" Ares nods knowing very well Henry is right but he wasn't gonna do that as it is, it's just the beginning. "Do I have permission to abort?" Henry asks. Ares chuckled, "No. let's go" he walked to the door with Henry tailing behind. Ares walked into the hall sighting Elena in the hands of Cristian having a dance. For some reason, his blood boiled in annoyance. He didn't want Cristian close to Elena, he's bad news the woman is too innocent to get ent

"You!" She blurts disbelief evident on her face. She looked as though she had seen a ghost.Ares Chuckled walking towards her urging her to step back, "How?" yet again she mumbled.Ares shrugged, "What was that you were talking about on the phone, do enlighten me" he finally halted his steps after saying.She gulped down a lump trying to muster up enough courage to talk back at him. "None of your business. What are you doing here?" She asks, her voice still weary.Ares shakes his head, narrowing his stare at her as though he is trying to point out something. A strand of sweat dripped from her forehead, it made Ares wonder.Was he that intimidating?He cleared his throat, "Elena you can't hide anything from me now you know? I'm your husband--" She surprisingly cuts him off with a hard slap on his left cheek cutting him off guard. It was more of a reflex action cause even Elena was more than surprised by her sudden action. Ares Jawline hardened. He has never been slapped across the
