Ares flipped the pancake on the pan, lowering the fire so as not to get it burnt. He has been awake most of the night with different thoughts wandering in his head. It's 8 AM, and he decided to make breakfast for two. He stood shirtless only in his sweatpants. He's starting to feel a little better compared to yesterday. Henry had called him a while ago to inform him about the research he had assigned them. He still couldn't believe it, how dirty did Cristian get his hands, and how did he involve Elena in it? Ares sighed at the thought just in time Elena walked in with a light knee-length nightie that barely covered her chest. Ares gulped down hurriedly, taking his eyes off, suddenly feeling turned on.He could feel her gaze on his bare chest but he pretended as though he didn't notice her ogling, proceeding to assemble the dish on the plate.After setting everything she still has her eyes glued to him. He chuckled, "Take a picture, it lasts longer" his tune laced with sarcasm c

"What!?" Both Ares and Henry blurt out at the same time flabbergasted by that sudden look. He knew the face looked Familiar get he couldn't point out his own look alike. Not that it was evident not until you looked quit deeper only then you won't notice.David nods, "She's your younger sister," he says yet again the news sinking more into Henry's head. "How?" Henry mumbled didn't think it'd be heard but it was."Allison is your mother's baby two weeks before her dismissal. After your mother's death, Magnus had her in the care of your maternal aunt, Allison has been living with her for the past years" David explains. Too much to digest. Anytime he thinks he's heard enough something pops up yet again. Don't get him wrong, Ares had always wanted a sibling being the only kid, he had all the attention to himself and sometimes it gets tiring, at that times he'd want nothing more than to her a sibling. "Just as you, Allison has been undercovered just as you. I had Allison come here cause

"Ready?" Ares asked through the mouthpiece. "Yes," Both Henry and Allison answered. They just got to the Kingsley Mansion where Elena's birthday would be taking place.Henry and Elana had gone in already giving some unnoticeable distance between themselves as ordered by Ares, whereas Ares just walked in.Ares is dressed in a casual outfit one that looks partially worn out almost intimated by the men who wore tuxes and ladies with fancy dresses. The Theme of the part screamed elegance one that Ares didn't possess, or so he did.He walked his hand in the pocket and the first person he saw was Mrs Kingsley heading towards him her nose flaring in displeasure.He chuckles knowing very well what had made her upset yet decided to act oblivious. He cleared his throat as she got there."Good Evening Mum" he greeted Infuriating her even more. She glared at him, "What are you wearing? And don't you dare call me that, I'd rather die than birth a disgrace like you" She spat more into a mumble

Elena has been avoiding Ares ever since she woke up snuggled next to him, which didn't go unnoticed by Ares but he pretended oblivious and nonchalant too, adding to her tension.He walked in on Allison and Elena who seemed to be engrossed in a deep sorta conversation. He stood by the side where they didn't get a sight of him listening to their talks."Per say you get wasted in a club and maybe end up having a one night stand with someone and next thing you wake up to a stranger --- A hot one, to be precise, and next thing you can't get him off your head" Elena explained uneasily. Ares had to fight back a chuckle so as not to get noticed. He knew she was talking about him and knowing that he had his thoughts carved on her mind made him feel dominant."Huh! Did you have a one-night stand?" Allison asked her tune laced with pretense as though she didn't put one on one together. She had felt Ares' light steps when he walked him and could feel his presence yet she pretended not to so as

"Elena" Cristian calls, gaining their attention.He walked towards them alongside the cops that he had come with. Ares on the other hand knew right there that his suspicions were right.But what is it between Lucas and Marcus that led him to almost kill Lucas? Ares knew for a fact that it wasn't only because they wanted to frame him and get him out of the game, there was more to it and he'd figure it out.Cristian pulled Elena in for a hug just as he got to her urging her to break into sobs and retaliating the gesture."Shh... He's going to be fine" Cristian consoles, sharing a stern look with Ares, the corner of his lips spreading into a light smirk that was only noticed by Ares.It took every nerve in Areas not to wipe that smirk off his face. Just then the door to the ICU door burst open revealing the doctors and nurses In charge of Mr Kingsley's surgery. All their attention drew back to them, Mrs Kingsley rushing to them alongside Elena and Cristian."The bullet penetrated throu
