"Here, sign this" David moves forward the folder in which contains the contract; meaning all power is now handed down to Ares.

Ares stared at the file skeptical on what to do. A few days back he was just some ordinary middle class man and all of sudden things took a turn and he's not New York's A list Billionaire and also is going to be a leader of an organization he knows nothing about.

How absurd!

If anyone had ever told him that this would happen, he'd probably look the person in the face and laugh it off. Never in his wildest imaginations did he see this coming.

"I get that this is all overwhelming but there's really nothing we could do as it is we don't have much time. So the earlier you sign this and take over the better" David reasons.

Ares nods, clicking the pen out. He filled in every spot with his signature till it was time to sign the final one, he paused. "What happens after this?"

David chuckles, "You just have to wait and find out"

Ares gave him a separated look before

    After the talk with Ares and Mama, they both made their way back in preparation for the wedding party courtesy of the Kingsley. Ares frowned as he got dressed in the outfit the Kingsley had chosen for him. It's a customized beige tux. Ares isn't a fan of shouty colors. Anything that's not dark and hidden, count him out."You look good, Master" Henry said completely as he helped him with his tie. Ares shot him a glare, "Is this necessary?" he couldn't help but ask. Henry shakes his head, "No Sir, you have the right to back out anytime" Ares nods knowing very well Henry is right but he wasn't gonna do that as it is, it's just the beginning. "Do I have permission to abort?" Henry asks. Ares chuckled, "No. let's go" he walked to the door with Henry tailing behind. Ares walked into the hall sighting Elena in the hands of Cristian having a dance. For some reason, his blood boiled in annoyance. He didn't want Cristian close to Elena, he's bad news the woman is too innocent to get ent

    "Fuck!" He hissed, clutching onto his head which was pounding as hell.

But how did he get here?Ares is on the bed of his penthouse. He could remember vividly that yesterday he was almost abducted and with no doubt, he's sure it has everything to do with Cristian DuPont.The door creaked open, cutting short his thought Session. His gaze moved to the place. Henry slipped in taking step by step till he was by Ares' side."Good Evening Master"Ares ignored instead asking him, "How long have I been out?" "A month"Ares' eyes widened as the bees hit him like a wave of nostalgia, "What!" Henry nods. "Yes, Master.""How?""Cristian had his goons sent to you after that party.

    "You!" She blurts disbelief evident on her face. She looked as though she had seen a ghost.Ares Chuckled walking towards her urging her to step back, "How?" yet again she mumbled.Ares shrugged, "What was that you were talking about on the phone, do enlighten me" he finally halted his steps after saying.She gulped down a lump trying to muster up enough courage to talk back at him. "None of your business. What are you doing here?" She asks, her voice still weary.Ares shakes his head, narrowing his stare at her as though he is trying to point out something. A strand of sweat dripped from her forehead, it made Ares wonder.Was he that intimidating?He cleared his throat, "Elena you can't hide anything from me now you know? I'm your husband--" She surprisingly cuts him off with a hard slap on his left cheek cutting him off guard. It was more of a reflex action cause even Elena was more than surprised by her sudden action. Ares Jawline hardened. He has never been slapped across the

    "What are you doing? Stop, I said stop it Ares" Elena fired in-between tears but her words had Ares even more enraged as he beat the living daylight out of Cristian."If I ever see you near her again" Ares warns his knuckles drenched with Cristian blood. "Get off me you creep!" Cristian spews in between groans trying so hard to get Ares off of him yet to no avail. "You'll regret ever laying a finger on me" Ares sneered, "What happened years back will not repeat itself, by the time I'm done with you even your father won't be able to save you this time" he hit him hard on the Jawline.Suddenly the door burst open Henry came into view. His eyes widen in horror. "Ares" He blurts the name sounding heavy on his lips as he's never called his master by his name but due to circumstances, here he is going. "Help him please" Elena pleads directing it to Henry. Henry hurriedly got there and pulled Ares off of Cristian. "You son of bitch" Ares cursed giving him a last punch before Henry coul

    Ares flipped the pancake on the pan, lowering the fire so as not to get it burnt. He has been awake most of the night with different thoughts wandering in his head. It's 8 AM, and he decided to make breakfast for two. He stood shirtless only in his sweatpants. He's starting to feel a little better compared to yesterday. Henry had called him a while ago to inform him about the research he had assigned them. He still couldn't believe it, how dirty did Cristian get his hands, and how did he involve Elena in it? Ares sighed at the thought just in time Elena walked in with a light knee-length nightie that barely covered her chest. Ares gulped down hurriedly, taking his eyes off, suddenly feeling turned on.He could feel her gaze on his bare chest but he pretended as though he didn't notice her ogling, proceeding to assemble the dish on the plate.After setting everything she still has her eyes glued to him. He chuckled, "Take a picture, it lasts longer" his tune laced with sarcasm c

    Two years later"Kill him," Ares says, cutting off from the call. He heaved out a breath, walking out of the room.He left for England two days ago after lying to Elena that he had some work-related issues and would be back as soon as he could for Ryan's fifth birthday.How time flies. Just like yesterday, the duo were on each other's necks wanting nothing to do with one another, and today, all he could say or do was be more grateful to fate.Ares left for England to finalize everything with his daughter's foster parent. He had paid them off handsomely for giving his daughter the best parental care, judging by her behavior and character. He also promised them that Nova would come to visit.Ares still hasn't informed Elena about it; he wanted it to be a surprise. His family isn't complete without having her as well.She was born out of the mistake they made years ago; call her a beautiful mistake that he'll forever cherish."Master" Henry cuts him out of his train of thought."Yes He,

    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. It was all because of Ares that his right to freedom of movem

    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? For one, Ares would not give it her if she demanded it, and h

    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
