"Is there anything else you can do about it?" Elena asked her tune in pleading and desperation. She is talking to one of her dad's agents who had worked for their family for years. She wanted him to dig into Ares's past to maybe find something, something that could bring him down, and also get any information about her sister yet to no avail."I'm sorry Elena. Your husband had made all issues related to him and the Kingsley confidential and security tight, I can trespass without being caught " he explained in apology. Elena groaned in annoyance turning off the phone with a hiss. Her lips began to quiver and she couldn't help but burst into tears of desperation and tiredness. She was sick and tired of all this, she needed to get to the bottom of this. The hatred she has towards Ares is enough to send him to his ancestors if she had the power to do so. It's only been two days since they had the conversation and his return. She hasn't seen him around not that she's bothered. Yesterd
Ares sat in his spacious office on a call with one of his apprentice a deep scowl evident on his face, enough to tell you that whatever conversation he was having, it must be serious. "Alright. I'll get back to you" He sighed switching off the call. He sighed his eyes drawing to the clock his jawline hardened as she only had two minutes more before he dismissed her late. He hated tardiness and he made that clear to her that she needed to report as early as seven if not she had to bear the consequences.One more minute. His eyes didn't leave the clock almost as if she was counting the seconds. and just as the clock hit seven, the door burst open revealing Elena dressed in a tight not up to her knee shirt with a plain white shirt and a suit. It brought out every shape of hers, she looked like she was brought out from a stripper club awaiting a sign to strip off which somehow displeased Ares. The thought of having people stare at her was irking. He gulped down a lump feeling hard i
Elena groaned flipping through the pages she had left to go through while typing on the computer here and there. Her eyes flickered to the clock, it was already getting late and she's pretty sure any worker here closes by 6 pm yet somehow her so-called husband wants to make life miserable for her. Earlier she had planned to run off and get some air away from him or anything that had to do with him but when she sat and thought about it, she figured it was a very dumb thing to do as he had the upper hand, any wrong move could lead to more blood she'd and she didn't want that. Ares is a fucked up psychotic psychopath, if she had the chance to, she'll kill him and bury him six feet under the ground and also hope that he rots in hell. But what could she do? After all, he's Ares Blackwood the hidden Billionaire they had mocked and taunted not knowing that they were the real joke themselves. If she sometimes thinks about it, she can't help but ponder on what she had done wrong to deserv
"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
