She was wearing a knee-length dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. The dress was a vibrant shade of crimson, accentuating her radiant complexion. Her long, flowing hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of silk, adding an air of elegance to her already captivating presence.

As she walked further into the room, Ares stared in awe. He couldn't help but be mesmerized by her beauty, staring at her in complete awe.

Okay this was definitely going to be harder than he thought.

Last time he found a woman so captivating was his ex Camila.

Elna is a goddess.

"Dad, who is this?" She questions taking in more of Ares.

The way her nose cringed had Ares mentally facepalm himself.

Not her either.

"Elena my dear, come" Her father ushers.

She moved towards him. He guided her to the chair seating her down before he motioned with his eyes for Ares to sear as well.

"He's the person we talked about–"

She bolts up, "What!" Unbelievably.

There we go again, Ares thought to himself, he was all so tired of the scene beholding. First it was her mother and now her.

All rich people are so full of themselves. They think so highly of themselves and so little of the less fortunate.

How unfortunate.

"No Dad. You can't be serious" She said, her eyes already glistening with tears. "I can't get married, at least not to him."

"Elena–"

"No Dad. Just look at him, he looks like he barely has enough to manage his life then how on earth do you expect him and I to work out? "she reasons.

Each word of hers pierced through Ares' heart.

"Just listen to me!" Lucas cuts off urging her to burst into tears.

Lucas sighed pulling her Into a comforting hug, "No one said you have to work things out Elena. Consider this a business deal–"

She hurriedly pulled away, "Is that what I am to you Dad? Huh? For goodness sake I'm your daughter, how could you even think of doing this to me."

She then turns to Ares who stood stiff observing the father and daughter heated up conversation.

"And you!" She turns to Ares sending daggers his way.

How cute, he thought.

He moved uncomfortably, "Y-yes!" He stuttered giving in the reaction they wanted.

"Listen to me. You are nothing and will never be anything, to think you have a chance with me shows how absurd and hungry you are–"

His eyes burn into hers as he spoke or more like mumbled, "Mind what you say to me" he spoke letting his rage consume him.

Elena laughed wearily, "Or what? What are you going to do about it? Huh! You pathetic stupid excuse" she insults.

He shut his eyes for a sec sucking in his anger. He couldn't let her get to him.

Not when he's come this far.

She should count herself lucky she's cute, he would have shut off her rude lips.

"Or what?" She asked yet again, bringing him back to reality.

"Sorry" he feebly muttered.

She hissed, turning to her Dad, "Seriously Dad, is this what you want to have in our family, you want him as a son in law?" She says.

"We don't have a choice. That's what I'm trying to make you understand Elena. This would end before you know it." Lucas tries to reason.

"Please Dad, not him. I beg of you please, he's–" She broke down.

Ares finally decided to speak up, "I think I should leave now" he announced.

"No. I'm not done with you" Mr Kingsley says.

"Dad, please excuse us," Elena says, wiping off her tears.

"Elena" Lucas called.

She given him a nod, "I'll be fine"

He gave Ares a last glare before walking away. Ares had his eyes glued to Lucas' retiring figure, not taking his stare off not until he was out of view.

"Who are you and what do you want?" She asks, pulling off a daring look.

Yet again Ares found it cute, to which he chuckled.

"Ares Russor," he answered. "And what do I want?" He says stepping further causes Elena to inch back.

Till her back hit the wall. Ares placed a hand by the side leaning in, "You. I want you" he mumbled his breath fanning her face.

She hissed, pushing him off, "What are you doing? Get of me you creep"

He shakes his head.

"Can't you speak to whoever Dad has gotten involved with to cancel this?" Elena tried to reason.

"Look princess—"

She cut him off, "I'll pay you double of what he is paying you. You can have anything just call this off, tell him you can't do this, please"

The desperation in her voice was evident; you can tell she was on the verge of breaking down.

"I can't do that," Ares says, breathing down a heavy sigh.

"But why? Please! You can just come into my life and try ruining. I don't want you, you and I can never happen. We don't belong together and you know that. I'm way above your league and the sooner you understand that the better" She blurts with pure venom.

"Well then, I guess you don't have a choice at all." Ares says turning to leave.

A few steps ahead Elena's words halt his steps.

"Fine then. You'll regret this, I'll make you and by the time I'm done with you, you'll spend the rest of your fucked up life I'm regret." She says in-between sobs.

Ares clenched his fist digesting what she had just said, "Game on"

She laughed at one filled with soreness, "Now I see why DuPont did what they did to you asshole. You fucking deserve it, you hungry greedy son of a bitch"

Walking away is the only way out of this or he'd turn on his shoe and put her in her right place but he knew better than to do that.

So he did, walking off.

    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.

    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?

    "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.

    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.

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.

    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
