He has been working overnight and isn't even halfway through, he wanted to clear everything up before morning cause he has three meetings to attend too. Plus Allison was leaving in the morning with Henry adding more to his plate and by next week he was leaving for Shanghai for the official throning.Ares had had that problem a lot of times David and Apollo went having it again and he knew that so he had to clear out everything down here before leaving. A call from Henry came through cutting short his train of thoughts. He picked up after a few rings. He knew why he was calling yet he still picked up wanting to hear him out before he told him off."Sorry I'm calling this late" Henry apologized just as Ares picked up.Ares nods as though he could see him before mumbling, "It's okay Henry. What's up?" He asked."I was wondering--""No Henry. You're leaving with Allison and my decision is final. I know she set you on this you can tell her that I'm still not changing my mind" Ares says.
His blood boiled as his name left her lips. He let loose the grip he had on her feeling the jealousy consume him something he shouldn't be feeling yet he couldn't control his thoughts. He hissed mumbling curses under his breath as he gazed at her. "Elena" he calls out to which she stirred.Her breath began to heavy her chest lifting up and down, her eyes burst open revealing her orbs.She lifted herself instantly hissing grabbing a hold of her forehead as she wailed. "Hey!" Ares got up from where he sat bolting next to her. He placed a hand on her left shoulder to which she moved back her body shivering at the contact. "Who are you?" She cries out drawing her legs to get knees."Elena" he calls out, "Stay back! Stay away from me, please." She stutters in between cries averting her stare away from him.She looked as though she'd seen a ghost urging Ares to be more curious and worried at the same time. He yet again made a move to get a hold of her which only made her yell at him.
It's been two days since they got back from the hospital and Elena's health seems to be getting worse day by day. It's been a heck of a week for Ares, having so much on his plate and now this was quite draining for him."I've got the jet ready for you, you leave tonight Ares" Apollo declared seeing as Ares was already trying to cook up excuses. He didn't let them know about Elena's condition, he didn't think it necessary so he chose to shut his mouth. "But--"Apollo cuts him off before he can go any further, "No Ares don't even think about it" He sighed out rubbing on his temples as though he was a minute away from losing his sanity. "Alright""I'll be expecting you tomorrow morning"Ares nods before mumbling an okay and cutting off the call. He takes in a deep breath as he arrives home. It was only 6 AM, and he went for a jug to cool off knowing it was much needed and could ease off his stress. He walked into the house heading for the kitchen straight. "Good Morning Mr Blackw
"I present to you, the Dragon Master" One of the boards in Dominatus Aeternus declared the curtains slipping open and Ares's figure coming into view.Ares stood clad in an ancient Chinese attire that was gifted to him by David saying that it was his father's passed on to him. Ares arrived at Shanghai early in the morning, he got enough rest that he didn't seem to be getting any time soon now that he was about to take the throne meaning more had been added to his plate. He walked to the stage his steps collected and precise. His face Heald a deep scowl, his aura oozing confidence and power. He looked like he would snap anyone's bone who dared to step in his way. He huffed out a sigh. "Good Day," he greeted beginning his speech that was written for him and placed right in front of him. He took a minute to scan through it, most of the words weren't something he should be saying. He didn't want to make any false promises to the people. "Ares" David mumbles snapping him out of his
"Congratulations Master," Henry says with a bow to which Ares nods in response.Uttering, "Thank you, Henry"Just then Allison approached them, Ares didn't miss the glare that Allison and Henry shared urging him to shake his head with a slight chuckle.Allison threw herself on him into a hug, "Master" she teased to which he groaned trying to pill her off him. "Good to see you too Allison," he says sarcastically to which she rolls her eyes. "Now that you're the Dragon Master, what next?"He shrugged. He also didn't know but he was sure that whatever it was, it wasn't going to be easy but he made a promise to them and if there's one thing he doesn't break, it's a promise. He puffed out a breath he didn't know he was holding slipping his hands out of the pockets, "I have no idea what I'm doing or how going to work it out but--" She cuts him off before he can go any further, "It's okay brother, you can do this. If Father was here, he'd tell you the same thing"Allison didn't miss the
From what Ares heard, Elena had recovered although she's still yet to come out from her cacoon and tends to have panic attacks here and there she's able to remember the current things that happened in her life. Teresa had told Ares about Elena sending them out and refusing to open up. Although sometimes she eats a little, it still mad a huge difference. It's like she's locked up in a box where her thoughts and inner demons haunt her. She's become so skinny and malnourished refusing to open up even to Teresa. Ares had just returned from his trip. He spent only a week in Shanghai trying to get accustomed to his new role as well as getting introduced to the vibrant pillars of their organization. He left Allison and Henry who had also returned to France to finish up her work and move back her line officially to New York. Ares wanted them to move her along with his aunt, he needed to have his family close by, and he couldn't risk, not at all. For all Ares knows, he has enemies lurkin
"Is there anything else you can do about it?" Elena asked her tune in pleading and desperation. She is talking to one of her dad's agents who had worked for their family for years. She wanted him to dig into Ares's past to maybe find something, something that could bring him down, and also get any information about her sister yet to no avail."I'm sorry Elena. Your husband had made all issues related to him and the Kingsley confidential and security tight, I can trespass without being caught " he explained in apology. Elena groaned in annoyance turning off the phone with a hiss. Her lips began to quiver and she couldn't help but burst into tears of desperation and tiredness. She was sick and tired of all this, she needed to get to the bottom of this. The hatred she has towards Ares is enough to send him to his ancestors if she had the power to do so. It's only been two days since they had the conversation and his return. She hasn't seen him around not that she's bothered. Yesterd
Ares sat in his spacious office on a call with one of his apprentice a deep scowl evident on his face, enough to tell you that whatever conversation he was having, it must be serious. "Alright. I'll get back to you" He sighed switching off the call. He sighed his eyes drawing to the clock his jawline hardened as she only had two minutes more before he dismissed her late. He hated tardiness and he made that clear to her that she needed to report as early as seven if not she had to bear the consequences.One more minute. His eyes didn't leave the clock almost as if she was counting the seconds. and just as the clock hit seven, the door burst open revealing Elena dressed in a tight not up to her knee shirt with a plain white shirt and a suit. It brought out every shape of hers, she looked like she was brought out from a stripper club awaiting a sign to strip off which somehow displeased Ares. The thought of having people stare at her was irking. He gulped down a lump feeling hard i
