"Ares" Camila called out cutting Ares out of her train of thoughts. Ares had stayed up all night watching Camila as she slept with different thoughts running through his mind. He was angry at himself for not being there for Camila, if only he had listened to her a few months after she had called then maybe there was something they could do about it, he could somehow save her from the raw hands of death.Yes, he was still mad at her for not trying to reach out even once after he had been jailed all thanks to defending her from Cristian's harassment but he knew Cristian to be a cunning and disgusting creep he may have blackmailed her or did way more worst than he has in mind. They haven't spoken about that yet cause Ares thought it wouldn't be convenient to talk about something like that due to Camila's sickness and now with what the doctor is proposing he knows he needs to keep her close to him.And at the same time, there goes Elena, she had to go about creating another problem for
He said in his spacious home office running through some files but his mind wasn't fully there. He clenched on the pen he was holding his anger brewing out a bit as he recalled the photos that had gone viral about Cristian and Elena. He was never going to forgive her for dragging his name into the mud and backstabbing him. Just when he thought he could trust her, this had to happen. He made it his mission to make life a living hell for her much worse than she'd ever imagined, she wanted him to go rough and tough with her huh? Then so be it, if it's the last thing he does, he'll do it. The door creeped open revealing Henry looking all tensed yet composed. Henry knew that these past few days Ares hadn't been himself.It's like Elena had brought out the beast in him much more ruthless than he has ever been. "Master" he called out to which Ares ignored still working on the pile of work ahead of him. Nevertheless, Henry was going to pass out the information he had in hand. "We've d
"Open up!" The guard ushers to which she complied having no more strength left in her muscles. The pain she felt knew no bounds. She was afraid, hurt, and lost. All she wanted was out of this, this isn't what she signed up for. A few months back, if anyone had told her she'd be going through the hell she is now, she'd probably have laughed it off the person's face and thrown futz about it or may even have ended up having the person locked up.But today she was nothing more than a broken and lost soul who wanted nothing but her freedom back. All her life she had to live and endure all of Felix's tortures but when he had left for treatment and had been pronounced dead, she thought it was the end, if only she had known. Then she would have protected herself or mentally and physically prepared for it, things have just gotten worse than they already are. "The master said Five spoons Eliott," one of the guards says to the one feeding her with the honey. Eliott smirked, "Well I feel like
"Do you remember those days when would grab lunch at Starbucks?" Camila says laughing and snuggling more into Ares's bare chest.Ares's mind wasn't there one look at him and you could tell. He has been having sleeplessness night yet he still refuse to quench the tension that was going on with him "Ares?" Camila called out slicing through his train of thought. He shakes his head discarding the thoughts of Elena. She wasn't worth his mercy or worry, he was going to keep her there for as long as his anger lowered. "Are you okay?" She asked her tune laced with concern.He shakes his head forcing a smile so as not to give her the wrong impression. He didn't want her worrying or finding out about what was going on. He knows Camila as a soft-hearted person and she'd freak out if she found out that Elena was in the dungeon and would plead with him to set her free which was something Ares wasn't ready to do at the moment. He wasn't even ready to come face-in-face with her as he didn't kno
"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
