"Be careful" Ares says holding onto Camila's shoulders to steady her balance.Today is Monday, meaning it's the first day of their check-up, they argued earlier due to Camila seeing it as of no use to go for the check since in the end she's going to die and nothing is going to change that.Ares hated it when she said that, somehow it made his heart wince and he was still not ready to accept the fact she was going even though he was not exactly sure but then he didn't think Camila could stoop so low and fake a sickness. "Let go of me" She wined her lips pouting. Ares stared at her in amusement, normally Camila had always been a dramatic person but he knew she was still mad at him for scowling her earlier and that's why she decided to grump around. He fought back a chuckle, "C'mon, we're running late" he ushers. He has a meeting at 2 PM today and the doctor's appointment was by 10 AM, he hated tardiness so he tries as much as possible to avoid that as well.He has some unfinished wor
It was 2 AM, and the air of the Blackwood Estate was calm and filled with quietness. Ares had just concluded half the pile of the load work he had and had decided that it was his chance to go visit Elena in the dungeon.Ares walked to Camila's room to make sure she was asleep and tugged up. He pushes open the door peeping before getting in. Her light snores signified to him that she was truly asleep. He helped her cover up with the blanket.Camila stirred a bit snuggling more into the blanket as she slept. Ares shook his head fighting back a chuckle so as not to wake her up and made his way out of the room. He stopped by the kitchen warming some food to take to Elena, not forgetting the first aid kit. Having assembled all that, he made sure that the path of the Dungeon was all cleared out and no guard was lurking around taking it as his queue to go in. He unlocked the gates of the dungeon stepping in and shutting it off with a lock, just immediately. He then proceeded further in
"When's our flight?" Ares asked glancing at the wall clock. "2 PM" Henry responded. Ares had to leave for a business trip to Vienna where he'll be meeting up with Apollo to cover a deal they've worked so hard on so he decided to take Henry with. "Good. Get me the files I had left in the office " he orders seeing as they still have time.Henry nods in response, "Is that all?" He asked getting up from the seat. "Yes. Send in Allison" he adds to which Henry nods yet again before proceeding to make his way out of the room.Ares had assigned some maids and a personal home doctor seeing as Camila hates hospitals, he brought everything to her at her feet. He assigned them to ensure Camila's well-being and to stay with her 24/7 to avoid any risk.He didn't know for how long he'll be away but it won't be more than a week so he has everything set for her. .Ares still hasn't gotten time to figure out Camila's sickness as he has too much on his plate to worry about he's yet to look into th
Ares is lying on his bed he hasn't moved a limb since yesterday night and has completely shut away any source of contact it's like he had completely zoned out from the world.The truth had hit him hard so hard that he had to live with it for the rest of his life and he didn't seem ready to digest that just not yet. The man he had looked up to all his life was his biological parents' killer. Was this how Elena had felt when he had been accused of murdering her father?Is this the same way she had digested it even though he did nothing close to that? He didn't think he was strong enough to live with that. He's so disturbed, angry, and hurt.Russor has always had his hands dirty but not even for once did Ares stop to question him or notice that, that he wasn't the man he seemed to be. He could remember how he'd tell his mother that when he grew up, he wanted to be just like his father and how they'd spend most of the day on the therm with Russor having to teach him lots and lots about
Ares stares on the bed the morning the morning sunlight hitting his eyes. He groaned squinting his eyes before he finally managed to pull them open feeling Elena's soft skin in contact with his made him harden. Yesterday was counted to be one of the best moments in his life, he had never wanted a woman more than he does now with Elena. She's his now, every shade of her belongs to him now and he won't ever let that change. The idea of letting her go has been completely replaced with having her all to himself.He didn't care if he was being selfish but one thing was for sure, Elena belonged to him now, now and forever no matter the circumstances he wouldn't ever let her go. His eyes moved to the now turned purple hikes he had given her last night urging a surge of pride to bile up within his veins. Her light snores were like music to Ares's ears which he wanted to wake up every day too. Ares is still finding it hard to digest how s person's presence can bring so much calmness to hi
Elena had so many questions to ask Ares. She was still finding it hard to believe that her father was alive. A strand of tear slipped as she fed her father with the soup. Mr Kingsley smiled weakly reaching out and brushing the tear off."Dad," She says breaking into sobs as she keeps aside the bowl of soup. She fell into his embrace instantly clinging onto him like he was going to disappear any second from now as she cried harder. "I've missed you so much, Dad. I thought I'd lost you. This all feels surreal. I'm afraid it's only a dream that I'll soon be waking up from and have to suffer all the pain and yearn to see you again " she says in one goMr Kinsley ran his hands around her back feeling his eyes sting as well."It's alright my child. It's not a dream and I'm here now, you have nothing to worry about" he says sounding reassuring."But how? How's this even possible? What happened?" She asked all of a sudden trying to make sense out of all this.How's her father still alive?
Ares still couldn't believe that even after seeing her father good and fine, she still didn't want to trust and believe him.Her words rang in his head like a bell each one hurting than the other one. He thought things could change after this happened but they only seemed to get worse.Ares had made sure to have Kingsley Silenced and talk about the incident that had happened cause telling Elena would only risk her life and that wasn't a risk he was willing to take, not at all.He groans slipping his phone back to the pocket . He wanted to call Allison and talk to her cause she seemed to be the only one who could see through him and understand him even without having to say a word.Siblings bound as they call it.But Ares thought against it, he didn't want to bore her with his problems and he was pretty sure she'd nag and have him go and explain things to Elena which he was in no mood to do at the moment.He decided to go to a bar and clear of his thoughts. Getting his wallet he made
"Ares you need to return home, I have rescheduled the meeting with the Russian company four times this month and I can't afford to do that again" Allison complained to which Ares groaned. He placed a hand on his forehead feeling the hangover. "I'll be returned by tomorrow hopefully" He responds before cutting off the call while huffing out a groanAllison's high pitch was no good for the way he felt at the moment. He got up from the parlor couch where he had spent the night breathing out curses for not having painkillers. Surprisingly his eyes fell on a pack of painkillers by the center table and a glass of water that was covered up. He puffed out a chuckle knowing very well that Elena was responsible for it. The kind gesture warmed his heart but he wasn't going to show her that as he had already declared their relationship over, he was just waiting for the 14 days to elapse before he signed the divorce papers and sent her a copy of them. What he's doing is for their good he be
