Ares walked into the Kingsley Mansion after David dropped him off. He is scheduled to meet with Elena today and their wedding surprisingly was supposed to take place in Two weeks time.

Ares was guided further into the mansion passing through the empty corridors filled with various elegant shiny designs of different types.

"Take a seat please, Mr and Mrs Kingsley will come to see you in short" The maiden that had guided him in announced to which he gave her a curt nod.

"Thank you"

She offered him a slight smile before walking away.

Ares roamed his stare around the parlor in search of any clues or hint before his eyes fell on a file of paper on top of the Consol just a few steps ahead from where he sat.

He for you stealing glances to make sure he wasn't seen and luckily the camera wasn't directed to the certain place.

His eyes fell on a symbol, a dark encarved symbol with trenches of black stood .

The symbol somehow looks R like. It definitely had to do with the Rortex. His hands roamed around it.

"You!" He heard a voice call out just as He's about to slip open the folder.

He balled his fist pulling back and turning to face the source with a forced get slight smile, "Sorry, I was just–"

Mr Kingsley cut him off. "Take a seat" he ushers with no pinch of welcoming or friendliness.

Ares nods as he was assigned to.

"Seriously!?" A sudden voice by the distant end questions getting both Mr Kingsley and Ares attention.

"This is the crap you want our daughter to wed? Just look at him, his outfit alone is not as expensive as the servants uniform and it's like this you want to marry Elena lf–" Mrs Kingsley fires.

"Please Martha" He tries to reason.

"No! This is not fair to me and not to Elena. It's clear they're nothing close to compatible" She hiss in disgust, "Just look at him, Elena doesn't deserve this crap"

Ares fisted his hands trying to keep his cool.

"Honey just take a seat first we'll figure something else but right now it's the only choice we have" Mr Kingsley says getting a hold of his wife that is sending daggers at Ares way.

She huffed, taking a seat, her eyes not leaving Ares's one bit.

Ares seemed unfazed at all his mind drifting to the folder. There was something in it and he needed to get to it.

"Hey! Listen here you twaddle. Don't think we're doing this on our own accord, thus is nothing but a business deal. Don't get thoughts that you'd ever be fit to out class or our daughters." Mr Kingsley began.

"This alliance is only happening for a short period of time. After that you'd go your own way and it'll be like it never happened." He continued.

Ares got two of the few things he was saying cause his mind was totally lost on the Rortex symbol he saw close to the curtain. It was light and hidden, it couldn't be sensed that easily not if you had a good sense of vision.

"Do I make myself clear?" Mr Kingsley asks, his voice raising a bit, slicing through Ares's train of thoughts.

Ares offers a curt nod, "Yes Sir"

"Good"

"I really can't believe my princess is getting married to him, Lucas–" Mrs Kingsley says, getting cut off by her husband.

"Don't worry, I'll handle this"

She hissed getting up and heading towards the door.

"So when do I meet her?" Ares asks boldly but the look Lucas shot him is one that will send a kid running to his parents but it was Ares after all.

Mr Kingsley hurriedly erased the distance between them grabbing a hold of Ares' collar , almost choking him.

"Did you not get what I just said?" He fires.

Ares jaw hardens as be let's calm slow breaths out. He had to stick to the plan, he had to keep his cool, he couldn't mess it up, it just began after all.

"With all due respect sir, i wa–"

Ares is cut off with a hard blow on his jaw urging a groan out from him.

Did he just!?

The bastard fucking punched him.

Ares thought this would be harder than he thought. Dealing with their nonsensity is going to be challenging but then at the same time he's here for a purpose he needed to act along.

He screwed up his face, "I beg you, please have mercy" He cries his tune dripping with mockery but not enough for Me Kingsley to notice.

A smirk stole it's way to Mr Kingsley lips, "If you ever dare to try and mess with my daughter you'll see the warth of me you fucking bastard."

Ares nods vigorously pursing his lips, "I'm sorry"

Mr Kingsley let loose of his hold on Ares pulling out from his pockets and cleaning his hands with his nose cringe in disgust.

He finished up and threw it on Ares's face. "Now leave"

Ares grabbed a hold of the handkerchief balling it with his fist. He hated the idea of being disrespected and treated as trash and it's exactly what the rich are fond of doing and someone has to show them their place.

And that someone has to be him.

"Dad!"

They both turned to the source.

Elena.

    Russor regretted leaving Ares there. He could have finished him off, when he had the chance to.Why had he not loaded the gun, before now? He must make sure that Ares does not survive it, because it would be easy for him to manipulate Allison to signing everything to him.He had recently found out about Ryan, and didn't know know him, that was why he had put Allison's name as his next of kin. It was temporary, because as the rules stated, he needed to have a son, who would inherit all of it.When he had found out about Ryan, things did not go on well as he planned, so he had no time to change certain things.If he could not kill Ares, he would need to have him in his custody, so as to get Allison, who was softhearted, to sign everything in his name."Do everything you have to do to make sure he does not make it out alive," Russor instructed.He had lost the chance to kill him, but it didn't mean he was too late to do it.

    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. He was panicking.If he didn't act fast, by the this time, tomorrow, he might receive a photo of.."No!" He yelled, dreading the thought of receiving their corpse. He would never have forgiven himself, because it would be his fault, partially.There was nothing he could do, but surrender the inheritance to him, and devise a way to run away with his family. He just wanted this nonsense to end.He prepared all the documents that was needed to be handed over to Russor. He stared at all of them, like he was trying to imprint it on his mind.All his fath

    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? Any further delay, and you'll be gifted their dead bodies. I'm sure they are more important to you than that inheritance, be smart, Ares. Be smart."Allison came back from the black web. She had been there for a while, trying to track Russor's location, but it was all in vain.She needed to check up on the duo, and when she got the house, she found it strange as to how quiet it was.Could it be th

    "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. He had ended the call, leaving her to devise a plan to get the ring.She sat on the bed, and didn't feel comfortable, so she began to pace around the room, racking her head, trying to come up with something.How was she going to get the ring?

    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. She just didn't know what to say, or maybe, she was afraid to see it.He lifted up her chin, and drew closer to plant a kiss on h

    Ares was shocked to hear a lady's voice. He froze, instantly. 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. She really wished she could help, but they needed to act carefully, because Russor was a really bad person

    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
