Ares sat in the car time conscious they were already getting late but his dear wife seemed to be taking the time of her life to get dressed.Seriously, most times he wonders what takes a woman too long to get dressed. All that should be done requires a minimum amount of time to be taken care of but they take forever to get dressed. He took a glance at his wristwatch yet again pausing his action on typing a mail he had promised to send to Apollo about the Russian company that they were dealing with. Ares lets out a hiss pairing it with a curse, he is a minute away from getting out of the car and dragging her out of the room.His thoughts are cut short when the door slips open revealing ananlegant-dressed Elena. Her scent is the first thing that hits his nostrils notifying her presence. His neck turned to the left as his eyes dropped on her his scowl was replaced with a flabbergasted look. His eyes scrutinize her appearance. The dress clung to her in every right way making him harden
Elena's blood drew to every inch of her body as she saw the meaning in Ares's eyes. It had her panic for s second making her thought go haywire, almost as though he was going to do the same thing Felix had done to her. She stared at him through the dim light but his orbs were light enough. Ares hissed turning on his shoe causing her to let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She lifted from the bed trying to adjust her exposed skin to his view but before she could the light had turned on making her eyes draw in shock.He had stood a few feet away from her for a minute and lost it the look in his eyes screamed different emotions mostly horror as though he had seen a monster which made Elena begin to tear up as she hurriedly got up from the bed adjusting the gownAres stood stiff unable to make a move his stare not leaving Elena a second. Elena knew, that once Ares was to see the real her he wouldn't be able to tolerate her anymore, he'd send her out and away from his life
Ares woke up to the morning light that sprawled on his face feeling Elena on him with his arms wrapped around her protectively. His lips lifted to a slight smile seeing how cute and peaceful she looked when she was asleep almost as if she should be the same while awake but who was he kidding? He got himself a hot-headed wife. Memories of yesterday came rushing down to him, he held onto her a bit tighter feeling the urge to protect her from her inner monsters.The thought of how someone could do such to a kid was absurd and disgusting. Why on earth would one destroy the future of a minor if you wanted to fill in your needs there are tons of bars packed with Whores that have their legs opened and are always welcome to be fucked. Felix DuPont.It always has to be the DuPont. But he's never heard about him not even from his research. His blood boiled at the mere thought of what he had done to Elena. Ares felt the need to protect it's almost as if faith had brought them together so tha
Elena still couldn't believe it, digesting the fact that Ares went to this extent regardless of what she had done to him was so unexpected. She didn't see this coming.Part of her knew that no matter what Ares did she'd still not be able to forgive him for murdering her father but what he did for her sister and the vile accusations she had spat on him made guilt eat her up and she knew she had to apologize for that.Seeing Jessica treated and all well came as a shocker. When Ares told her he was taking her somewhere, her anxiety hit up as different thoughts on what he could do to her ran through her head in fear of what might go wrong.She couldn't trust any man not after what Felix had done. She has had to leave her virginity cause of the insecurities she had; what if the person she was going to have sex with stopped halfway after seeing the damage Felix had done to her?What if he takes shots of her and posts them to the media and then the image of Kingsley will come crumbling down
Ares has been acting off with Elena since the incident at the hospital with her sister. Wasn't supposed to be mad but part of that she reminded him of his place. He needed to stay distant and maintain a professional relationship with her. This was eventually coming to an end, very soon. He was sure Elena had noticed his change in demeanor but it didn't bother him, the earlier he made her realize that they could never be more the better it was for the both of them.He huffed out a sigh resting in his office chair. They returned home earlier around 10 AM and it's currently 2 PM and he's trapped with work to do. This was the part where he also got some rest after a long flight but he was he too. David would have his head for dinner. The door crept opened revealing Allison with her ever-so vibrant and energetic aura which sometimes made Ares wonder if she was always like this. He has never seen her look too drained, she has the power of endurance, or was it because she was used to t
Ares hissed for the umpteenth time seeing the tons of messages Camila had dropped on his phone. He was sick and tired of how pestering she was becoming. He had only replied to her message once after that phone call they had, but he still made it clear to her that they were over, whatever they shared was in the past now and the fact that she didn't want to digest that is irking. He could never be together with her ever again. Not when Cristian has had his hands all over her. The mere thoughts disturb him. He huffed out a sigh picking up her call that just came through. Ares knew he had to make it crystal clear to her now that no matter how much she tried or what she did, they still could never be together. He slid the answer button before the call could cut placing a hand on his chin, "Hello" he mumbled.He heard her sigh out from the other side, "Ares thank goodness you answered---"He cut her off before she could say anything further as he wasn't in the state for talks, "What is
Ares woke up naked in bed with Camila his heart dropping. Memories of what they had shared yesterday night came rushing down to him paired up with guilt. His eyes widened as he stared at Camila's pale sleeping figure with guilt gnawing him up. He hurriedly screwed off the bed chanting curses. Just then Camila stirred on the bed her eyes bulging open. She turned her stare falling back to Ares a sinister smile spreading on her lips. She hit the jackpot as her plan is on go. How naive could Ares ever be? She knew he still had a soft spot for her and believed that no matter how much she had hurt him back then he'd still run back to her arms when she sought for him.That's the power she has over Ares and she's going to use that to her advantage. She got up wrapping the sheets around her naked body and walked to the other side where Ares stood stiff and seemed to be lost in thoughts. "Ares, I'm sorry," She says forcing the tears and her lips beginning to quiver to add up to the act.
"YOU'RE ALL FOOLS!" Ares hard-tuned echo within the parlour sending shivers down their spines. One look at him and you could tell he was losing it and could beat whoever dared to speak up if it was not regarding information that could help them find Elena."Master--" Ares cut him off with a glare he shot to him, "You have one thing assigned to do and you come back to every day with nothing. I didn't hire you to be incompetent" he addressed anger dripping from his tune. Henry dared not to say any word as he'd never seen Ares as upset as he was now so he remained mute with his head glued to the ground. Ares hissed, "Get out! All of you out! NOW!" He roared and they didn't need to be told twice, they scrambled away leaving only Ares and Henry in their place."You to Henry," he says trying as hard as he can to remain calm with him yet the burning fury within him seems to be building up more and more. "Master I don't think she planned this on her own" Henry tries to reasonAres got up
Two years later"Kill him," Ares says, cutting off from the call. He heaved out a breath, walking out of the room.He left for England two days ago after lying to Elena that he had some work-related issues and would be back as soon as he could for Ryan's fifth birthday.How time flies. Just like yesterday, the duo were on each other's necks wanting nothing to do with one another, and today, all he could say or do was be more grateful to fate.Ares left for England to finalize everything with his daughter's foster parent. He had paid them off handsomely for giving his daughter the best parental care, judging by her behavior and character. He also promised them that Nova would come to visit.Ares still hasn't informed Elena about it; he wanted it to be a surprise. His family isn't complete without having her as well.She was born out of the mistake they made years ago; call her a beautiful mistake that he'll forever cherish."Master" Henry cuts him out of his train of thought."Yes He,
Russor regretted leaving Ares there. He could have finished him off, when he had the chance to.Why had he not loaded the gun, before now? He must make sure that Ares does not survive it, because it would be easy for him to manipulate Allison to signing everything to him.He had recently found out about Ryan, and didn't know know him, that was why he had put Allison's name as his next of kin. It was temporary, because as the rules stated, he needed to have a son, who would inherit all of it.When he had found out about Ryan, things did not go on well as he planned, so he had no time to change certain things.If he could not kill Ares, he would need to have him in his custody, so as to get Allison, who was softhearted, to sign everything in his name."Do everything you have to do to make sure he does not make it out alive," Russor instructed.He had lost the chance to kill him, but it didn't mean he was too late to do it. It was all because of Ares that his right to freedom of movem
Ares was restless. He tried everything possible to find out Russor's location, but every time he tried, it kept saying 'not found'. The pictures of his wife and son were still vivid in his mind. He could not get the picture out of his head. They kept flashing in, whenever he tried to think of a solution.He had asked Allison to join the men to track their location, and he also did that because he wanted to be alone.His mind was in chaos. He was panicking.If he didn't act fast, by the this time, tomorrow, he might receive a photo of.."No!" He yelled, dreading the thought of receiving their corpse. He would never have forgiven himself, because it would be his fault, partially.There was nothing he could do, but surrender the inheritance to him, and devise a way to run away with his family. He just wanted this nonsense to end.He prepared all the documents that was needed to be handed over to Russor. He stared at all of them, like he was trying to imprint it on his mind.All his fath
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
"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
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
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
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
"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
