"But--" she begins but he cuts her off. She fought back a groan, turning on her shoes but he stopped her from going any further by calling out her name. "Come and type these documents into the system" he orders getting off from the sear."But I still have --"Yet again he stops her halfway through her words seeing the tingling of annoyance that lies in her eyes. He smirked settling on the couch and waiting for her to go ahead with the task he had assigned her. Elena walked to the office chair settling down. She sent a series of glares at Ares as she began to work. Soon enough she was deeper into the work while Ares was asleep, or so she thought. She looked at him to make sure she was asleep slightly mumbling his name yet to no avail. She heard his light snores signifying that he was asleep. With quivering hands and bearing heart she exited the work she was doing proceeding to check the files If she could find and take anything that she could use against Ares. She took glances
Ares stared waking up with Elena clinging to him. For a second he intended to bolt up feeling something atop of him, he felt his adrenaline rise. The memories of yesterday came rushing over him like a wave of nostalgia. He groaned slightly lifting her off of him his eyes moving to the clock.It's 4 AM. He got up headed to his table and shut the laptop.He then assembled the things he'll be needed walking back to Elena. Ares took a minute to scrutinize her face his eyes roaming on every inch of her fragile Body.He shouldn't have been too hard on her but then there's something about Elena, everything she does stirs him up and no matter how much he tries to refrain himself she has this way of bringing out the rage in him without even knowing. And even though most times he tries to take it easy on her, he feels what he does is the easiest he could be with her, there's no other way but this way. He chuckles at her pouty lips. She looked so innocent while asleep, almost as though she wa
The Morning sunlight peeped through the curtains sprawling on Ares's face. His brows drew together in confusion to as who had opened it. His eyes spilled open but he was quick to shut them back letting out a groan of displeasure. He struggled to fixate on his vision only so he could glare at the person responsible for it, knowing very well it had to be Elena but to his utmost surprise it was his sister."Rise and Shine brother!" She says with her usual grin. Ares held on his head lifting and leaning his back on the bed. He shot her a daring look regretting afterwards cause the vains contacted with his head stretched. "Gosh! You look shitty. Did you have too much to drink last night?" Allison asked taking a seat next to him before she felt the heat that resonated.Her lips part, "My god! You're sick" she says lifting the back of her hand to his forehead to feel his temperature. "Shit!" She cursed. Ares pulled her hands off fighting back a groan yet again before mumbling, "I'm fin
"It's a brain tumor and he needs to be operated on as soon as possible " The doctor explained to both Henry and Allison. Allison nods wiping the tear that had slipped. "When can you begin with the process?""As soon as you pay the bills and---""Bills? Fucking go ahead with it or I'd have you sacked instantly " Allison fires burning with annoyance.The audacity of his thinking they could not afford the hospital bills, the hospital that is owned by the Blackwoods, he dared to cut to delay the processes.Henry squeezed her hands in comfort cutting her off before she could say anything she intended to say to the doctor."Go ahead with the necessities Doctor,""I'm sorry but you have to understand --" the doctor tries to reason but is soon cut off by Allison who bolts up in anger sending daggers at him that make him move slightly uncomfortably. "You fucking shut up and do as he says!" She fires. "Allison, calm down" Henry pulled her down to take a seat huffing out a sigh. "Who owns th
"I'm sorry, we did all we could but we lost him" The doctor announced the whole air suddenly turning thick. Everyone zoned out with widened eyes digesting the news that had just been announced. "What!?" Elena fired inching close to the doctor that took a step back with the hardened stare she held and tear-filled eyes, it made the doctor take a step back for safety measures. "The patient didn't make it" the nurse by the doctor's side clarifiedAllison had long reached the ground in tears taking in the news with Henry by her side. "That's a lie! He can't fucking be!" Elena spared more tears streaming down her eyes. "It can't be." She mumbled yet again breaking into sobs."I'm sorry Mrs Blackwood --"She cut him off before he could say more. "Shut up! My husband is alive so you better go back in there and bring me to him or I'll kill you too, I swear, I promise " she fires in one go with heavy breaths. Ares couldn't be dead. No! He can't die, it's a lie. They must be playing a prank
The morning sunlight dropped on her face urging her to retire, instantly her phone began to ring as well causing her to groan. Elena let the phone ring till it cut off but yet again it began to ring. "Ugh!" She groaned mustering up the strength to get off from bed but failed miserably.She reached for her phone by the side of the bed grabbing a hold of It. Answering the call, she placed it on her left ear mumbling, "Hello" with her awful morning voice."Ares is awake" Allison shot causing Elena's eyes to widen fully and bolt off from the bed."What!?" She asked to be sure of what she had heard. "Yes. He's awake, the doctors are currently undergoing some checkups. They said if they don't spot any problems, he could be discharged within a week" Allison explains.A smile spread across Elena's lips giving a nod as though Allison could see her, "Okay. I'll be there in a bit" "Alright then"Elena cut off the call placing a hand on her lips that were spread into a smile. Why was she happ
"The doctor said you could be discharged today" Allison announced as she walked in to which he nodded.Even if the doctor didn't say so, nothing was stopping him from leaving the hospital premises today, he was sick and tired of the environment, and it made him sick. The thought of Elena suddenly crossed his mind. She still didn't come to visit not even once, part of him was disappointed he didn't expect much from her just to care but somehow her absence did things to him and made him feel ways he was never supposed to feel. The door flung open revealing David with some files in his hand."Allison here are your reports and you're okay," he says as he walks closer to them.Ares left brow arched up inquisitively wondering what David was talking about."You inherited the brain tumor from mum, according to David. So we decided that I get tested if I was negative and positive" she explained to which he nodded in response.David clears his throat, "You're good to go but we'll still visit
Ares got into the VIP elevator that was meant for him with Elena tailing behind like a meekish person. It's been two days since he was discharged and since Elena acted bitchy.He has been avoiding her so as not to talk her off or so something that they'd both regret. Her words still rang in his ears.Part of him hoped that Elena could be a different person and was only under the impression. The Elevator clicked open as they got to his floor catching him out of his train of thought. He had only resumed work and had also ordered that she did. They had an important meeting today he had sent the presentations and every necessity will be discussed in the meeting so that she could have an insight into what is going to be taking part in the meeting. He looked at the door to his office and walked in his lips finally parting to say something, "Go through these files and give me a review. Have the board room ready before" he paused taking a look at his wristwatch."Thirty minutes." He speaks
