Elena's heart skipped before turning to the source of the voice sparing the called out her name. Allison.Her face immediately dropping into a hardened scowl hurriedly took her stare off and faced Teresa. She pushes back the chair of the kitchen island. "Thank you for the breakfast Teresa, looming forward to lunch." She says not waiting for her response and bloating out. Allison has been trying to converse with Elena and explain things to her ever since the incident yet it was to no avail as Elena was not ready to listen to her. "Elena please, " Allison says trying to match up to her pace. Elena's eyes were already tingling with tears as she paced faster to get to her room. As she got there, she hastily got in trying to lock the door but Allison had somehow managed to get a hold of the door pushing it open and preventing Elena from shutting it.Elena groaned in annoyance breaking into sobs just immediately before walking further into the room. Her vision was already clouded by t
A gunshot set off almost getting to Ares's chest but his reflexes were fast enough to get him to move causing the bullet to graze on her left bicep. "Master, are you okay?" Henry asked his tune laced with worry. Ares groans getting up and running to get a hold of the man that had just wanted to shoot him dead. He luckily got to him before he could do any further tackling him to the ground. He ran punches on him on the face almost dislocating his jawline, "Who sent you?" Ares asked but the man only groaned in pain."Fuck you!" The man spat yet again infuriating Ares even more. He beat him to almost death before Henry stepped in and stopped him."Ares! That's enough " he pulled him away. Ares got up heading out a series of breaths, his knuckles drenched in blood. He pulled out the handkerchief from the pocket of his slacks, whipping away the man's blood. "Find out who sent him" He orders to which Henry nods in response. They had decided to go on a late-night jog something Ares lo
Yesterday, if he hadn't pulled away and walked out god would have known what would have happened. This was something out of the deal the contract he signed as well as the agreement he made with himself. How could he let that happen? It was a burning desire that he felt at that moment and if he hadn't kissed her off god knows what he would have done."Anything you'd want to tell me?" Allison inquires cutting off his thoughts. She walked into his office and he didn't even notice. He left home by 6 a.m. just so he could avoid her. God knows what is next he'd to her when he sees her so to prevent such from happening, he chooses this as a way out."Ares!" Allison calls out for the third time surprised to ask what could have had him come out.She chuckled, "Did something happen between Elena and you?" A mischievous glint sparkled in her eyes.He sent her a glare leaning on his office chair, "Why are you here?" He asked trying to change the topic."Answering a question with another, that's
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
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
