"Sir," Emily walked into the room. Ares was only in his towel.She eye-raped him, causing him to move uncomfortably and sending her a glare. He preferred things to stay professional between them—nothing more and nothing less—but then she didn't seem to get the message. He had purposefully told her that before the job hiring.But then women would always be women."What is it, Emily? And why haven't you left for New York?" He says he is turning away while rubbing his wet hair to dry it off.Emily smirked. "Yes, I was supposed to leave, but a new discovery had me stay, and I believe you'd want to know," she said with the files in her hands.returbreathed breath out, "Anwork-relatedrelated would be looked into when I return as for now, you could save that till then," he grabbed a hold of his towel covering up.He had Allison come down here and handle things for him. He shouldn't be letting his sister clean up his mess, but then he knew that Allison was the only person who could talk Elena
Ares erased the distance between them, his eyes bleeding with betryal and hurt.Both Elena and Allison stood up, sighting him."How could you?" He asked, cutting short the silence that had filled the air.Elena gave him a look of disbelief, unsure if he was referring to her or not and what he was talking about."Is everything okay?" Allison asked, reaching out for her brother, but he took a step back, cutting her off guard."You also knew about this," he thundered. "You fucking knew he was my son, yet you hid that from me when I deserved to know."They both sucked a breath in disbelief to see how he knew.Ares is trying as much as he can to remain calm and keep his cool, but he is inwardly brewing with pure rage."Ares" Allison tries to defend, yet he cuts her off. He's too upset to listen to any of their reasons to keep such news away from me.. "How could you, Elena? You had no damn right to keep my child away from me. I agree, we did have some misunderstandings.She chirped in, "So
"Where is he? Where's my son?" Elena cried out, with Ares grabbing a hold of her."He'll be fine, I promise you."She shakes her head vigorously, crying out in pain. She couldn't believe she repeated the same mistake of trusting someone else with her child.How could she be so gullible?If only she didn't trust Janet to take care of him and had taken him to work instead, then she'd still have him in her arms.He's just a poor, fragile kid; he doesn't deserve all of this. Ever since Ares stepped back, it's not their lives; things haven't been going great.First it was the accident, and now Ryan is kidnapped."Elena, get a hold of yourself; we're going to find him, okay?" Allison says she is interjecting between her brother and Elena.Elene cried out, palming her face. "He doesn't deserve this; he's just a kid for heaven's sake." She pulls her hands down, giving Ares a dangerous look."See ! This is exactly why I hid Ryan from you all. Everything that comes with you, Blackwood's, has da
On hearing his name, and voice, his expression immediately darkened.He got up from the couch, and moved outside. He didn't want Elena or his sister, Allison, to hear the conversation.Especially Elena. She would be devastated, and he didn't know what Russor would demand for, so it was best that he stayed away from them.He didn't think someone, who raised him up would do such a thing to him.He felt no guilt at all. He would use any means—even it meant that he hurt someone in the process—to get whatever he wanted.Never had he ever seen someone as greedy as his uncle, Russor.He closed his eyes, and took a deep breath, in order not to burst out in rage."What do you want?" Ares asked, straightforwardly.He had no time to exchange pleasantries, because there was nothing good to say to him. He just needed his son back.Even in the cold weather, Ares was already starting to sweat. His palms were now moist, as he held the phone to his ear, waiting for a response from him.Russor chuckle
Ares was shocked to hear a lady's voice. He froze, instantly. He wondered how he got so carried away that he didn't even notice her presence, or hear her footsteps.He slowly turned around, and felt a sense of relief, when he saw Allison.He thought it was Elena.He didn't know how he was going to explain it to her. He looked at his sister, worry was visible in his eyes.He was worried about his son. He was only a little boy, and it was just unfair that he had to go through this occuring trauma.He promised himself that, no matter what, he would take his son back, unharmed."I really don't know yet. You know how that man is, and giving him the throne is like ruining the lives of many people who look up to me. I can't, I just can't." Allison could feel the pain in his voice. The way he talked, how he stared blankly at her…she could feel it.She moved forward, and gave him a hug. She really wished she could help, but they needed to act carefully, because Russor was a really bad person
Elena stepped back a little, shocked at his confession. She had not expected him to say something like that. Not even in her wildest dreams, did she think Ares would actually profess his feelings for her."Wh…what did you say?" She asked again, to confirm that she was not dreaming.He looked into her mesmerizing eyes, captured by its ocean blue orbs, feeling entrapped. He moved some inches close to her. Subconsciously, she moved back, until she hit the wall, where she could no longer move any further.He smirked, trapping her in between his arms, as his tall figure dominated her little frame.Their eyes were locked in each other's world. He diverted his gaze, and held her hand, gently.His caressed it with so much care and tenderness, as he proclaimed his love for her, once more."I love you, Ares."She opened her mouth to speak, but her words failed her. She just didn't know what to say, or maybe, she was afraid to see it.He lifted up her chin, and drew closer to plant a kiss on h
"Alright, then. Great choice you have made, Elena! You have less than a day," he said."What?" "I give you 12 hours. I believe that you are a smart woman, you can get it done in 6 hours, even. Once you get it, call me, and I will send you the location. Remember, no one. I mean, no one at all should know about this," he voiced sinisterly."Do not harm my son, please. I will bring the ring to you, just don't do anything to him," she begged, feeling a sense of guilt, for being so irresponsible."Get to it, already. Your time has already started. You now have 10 hours to go, if I were you, I would not say anything further. Good luck!" He said, and let out a wry laughter.The phone beeped. He had ended the call, leaving her to devise a plan to get the ring.She sat on the bed, and didn't feel comfortable, so she began to pace around the room, racking her head, trying to come up with something.How was she going to get the ring? For one, Ares would not give it her if she demanded it, and h
Russor was not stupid. The ring alone could not do so much. It was only a way to lure Elena into his lair, get hold of her, and of course, make Ares hopeless.She had suffered an external bleeding from the blow, making blood to trickle down the side of her face. She was tied up, and thrown beside her son, who laid helplessly on the floor.Russor was an epitome of a heartless demon. He could not even pity the 4-year-old boy!He asked the man to take a perfect picture of the mother and son in all angles, and sent it to Ares.He added a caption to it, which said: "How do you like this present? Any further delay, and you'll be gifted their dead bodies. I'm sure they are more important to you than that inheritance, be smart, Ares. Be smart."Allison came back from the black web. She had been there for a while, trying to track Russor's location, but it was all in vain.She needed to check up on the duo, and when she got the house, she found it strange as to how quiet it was.Could it be th
