The guards caught Marcus with him trying to wiggle out. Media trying to get closer to Ares with thousands of questions about his identity and where he has been all this while.Elena froze to her spot unable to move a limb clear enough that she was as much taken aback. Ares didn't even spare her a glance as he walked past her with his guards tailing behind and clearing the path for him.Outside was more chaotic than the inside every eye dying to see the Hidden son of late tycoon Blackwood. Ares was assisted to one of the cars settling in at the back as he waited for her. He had ordered that Elena was brought in with him sparing her the horrifying attention of the media. The car slipped open Elena's figure settling in next to Ares's. "Henry" Ares calls."Yes Master""We may leave"He nodded and began driving away. The ride to Ares's penthouse was a quiet one only Elena's sobs were heard whereas Ares had his head leaning with his eyes shut digesting the event that had just taken plac
"What made you under the impression that you could run from here and I don't know?" Ares asked leaning by the wall. The guards had caught her before she managed to escape. With a house filled with guards in and out, she was stupid enough to think she could run off. Elena sobbed wiping off her tears, "What do you want? Huh? What is it Ares Russor?" She gulps down, "or should I say Ares Blackwood" she corrects getting up.He walks to her, "What do you think I want?"She wiped away her tears sucking the remains back in, "You know, I don't even get it with you. First, you come into our lives like a low-life middle-class person then marry and tolerate every crap that comes your way, and then murder my father only to blame his best friend"He hissed cutting her off before she could go any further as she was already getting him all worked up, "I DIDN'T KILL YOUR FATHER!" he thundered his tune echoing."THEN WHO FUCKING DID""MIND THE WAY YOU SPEAK TO ME WOMAN " He warns. "Or what? You'll
Elena woke up to the morning sunlight fanning her skin. She groaned pulling the blanket on her face yet it was too late as the sleep had already retired from her system. "Ugh!" She hurriedly got up remembering she had work, bolting up almost about to get down, it dawned that after roaming her stare around the environment being very different from her, reality came knocking on her door. A lone tear slipped as memories came rushing down. Her whole life had turned upside down just in a snap of a finger all thanks to her husband. She still isn't able to digest the fact that he's Ares Blackwood cause not even in her wildest dreams did she ever think someone as low-life and poor as him could be the heir of the Blackwood Empire.How absurd is that? She gulped down a lump recalling that all her assets had been frozen. The people she worked for had canceled their contract, her fashion life was slowly dragging down day by day and all she could do was watch it happen. If only she knew who
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.
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
