Ares ended the call deciding to go back and check up on the kid. His meeting that he was supposed to attend has been rescheduled to tomorrow, it's been a long day for him and all he needed now is a good rest which was something greatly impossible in his busy life.He walked back to the ICU meeting with a scene. "If anything happens to my son, I promise you'll pay for it! Do you fucking hear me?" The woman fired clutching onto the caretaker's collar that looked ten times mortified.Ryan's mother's here? When did she get here then? Her voice sounded familiar almost as though it was Elena but who was he kidding, it's not her. He's not even supposed to be thinking about her, it's not right to do so. He has already made his choice and let her go, and he does hope that wherever she is now, she finds happiness. One that he couldn't give her. Part of him missed her. Her absence had thought and made him feel a lot that he never thought he'd be feeling but here he is, not a day goes by tha
Ares stared at Elena as she munched in the takeaway he had gotten her to eat after a lot of cajoling she had finally agreed to take in something. "You still haven't answered my question, Ares," Elena says keeping that food aside. Ares was still trying to digest the fact that Elena was Ryan's mother. Meaning if that's so, then where was the father?She got married after the divorce! What has been going on in her life these past few years?He also has a lot of questions to ask but he knew Elena to be a strongheaded person, he doubts that she'd listen to him not to talk or answer him.He's starting to regret not keeping tabs on her now. The thought of her being with another man made his blood boil which shouldn't be happening but he couldn't help it. He never thought things would end like they did with them. They never got along, right and something like this was bound to happen but Ares never thought that Elena would move on so quickly. Did she miss him?Does she think about him? A
"So, He's Ryan's father" Ethan questions shooting her an inquisitive look. She turned her stare away from him, "No. He's not at least not anymore"He's not her son's father as he hasn't been present in his life right from the time he was bornPart of Elena is scared that when Ares comes to discover that he's Ryan's father, he'll take her son away from her.Ryan is her only reason to live. She doesn't think she could survive a day without him. He gives her hope and makes her life less challenging and boring she couldn't risk Ares finding out and taking him away.Never!"C'mon Elena, you don't have to say that, " he says with a chuckle.She sent him a glare, "No one should know about this not even Mrs. Smith, I can't risk it" Elena said fidgeting with her fingers. Ethan shrugs, "You can't hide him away forever Elena. The father deserves to know, the earlier you tell him, the better or you'd rather risk him finding out on his own? You know things would be worse then right?"Elena hated
Ares drove to the nearest bar. Seeing her after so many years has not only triggered his pains and memories but also his feelings for her.Feelings that he never got to admit to her and had only realized that he had them towards her some few months after she had left.Life for Ares has been nothing short of torture something Allison never fails to remind him of how much of a coward he has been.He has let himself go big-time. He lost both Camila and Elena all in one day. Camila's lies have not bruised him but have been carved in his head for the rest of his lifeHis first-ever lover didn't only lie to him but had betrayed him and he didn't think he'd ever be able to forgive her. He has been in the haunt for Russor for these past few years and until now he's yet to do that. Nothing has been working out for him. No good gas had been in his life since Elena had walked out, was it karma?Yes most definitely. It had to be Karma.He got out of the car and walked into the lousy bar. Liquo
"Mum" Ryan giggled at Elena snapping her out of her train of thoughts.She's been zoning out a lot lately since the sudden appearance of Ares. He seems to bring back all the past pains she has struggled to keep within. All that has been on her mind nowadays is Ares. He hasn't made any attempt to return after the other day when he came in drunk and barely sane. The little bout placed his hands on his mum's face yet again pulling her back to reality.Elena smiled a painful one, "What is it, my love?" She says ruffling his hair. The boy grins a toothy one, "Food" he says in his not quite understandable accent but Elena gets what he means. She took one of the takeouts Ethan had gotten for them a while ago before he left for work.Elena appreciates all the support Ethan is giving. He's one of the fewest people that has made Seattle worth living and contributed to making their stay here welcoming. A knock on the door cuts her out of her train of thought. Her heart dropped hoping that
"Sir, do we leave tomorrow?" Emily asked as they walked out of the office building they had a meeting with.It was a two hours plus meeting. Throughout Ares's mind was on Elena and what had been happening lately, he barely contributed to the meeting, Emily did a great job with handling things.He couldn't be more grateful. If it was up to Ares, he wouldn't have secured the deal, with his current state of mind, he seems to be losing a lot of focus. Although Emily doesn't know about Elena, she's sure that the woman had to do with Ares's condition"No. You'll be returning Alone, I'll come back after I'm done with handling some stuff." He says while they walk to the carEmily felt a clog of jealousy pang. She didn't know who this Elena woman was and why she had Ares all worked up. Emily has been working with Ares for three years now yet no matter how much she tries he still doesn't give her the attention she renders. Emily's still stagnant on getting Ares either by hook or by crook. Sh

Emily paced back and forth in the room, anger exerting from her demeanor. Hisses and curses slipped out of her mouth here and there as she thought about what to do or how to go about it.Ares was hers. She couldn't let him return to Elena, even though she had come this far.At first, it was only a mission. She was assigned by Russor to keep an eye on him and note every last bit of his weakness to make it easier for Russor to get to him.Russor has been in the hides for all these years, all thanks to his son, or nephew, rather. Something Russor never saw coming, even in his wildest dreams, was being on a run.No, he had power; he is the rightful owner of the throne, and no one but him yet here is laying low, all thanks to Ares.The things Russor wants to do to Ares"No!" Emily blurted fraudulently.If Russor was to find out about her feelings for Ares, he'd cut her head off. He had purposely warned her, knowing that Ares had quite the charm, and she took an oath.Emily knows how much o
