In the dimly lit office, they stepped in to find a man seated in a chair, with his back turned towards them, gazing out into the nighttime cityscape. The room was bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, casting a mysterious atmosphere. "Sir" Delilah calls, urging the person sitting behind the chair to spin over. A man around his late fifties came into view urging Ares's brows to draw in confusion as to who he was. Wait, was he missing something or what?"Ares Russor" The man called his lips, spreading into a smile, "It's so good to finally meet you." The man acknowledged getting up and walking towards Ares.He passed out his hands for a shake, Ares contemplated whether or not to take it before he finally did, "And you are?""David Mitchell" He introduced his eyes lingering on the dragon ring.Ares noticed his stare causing him to pull his hands off. "I see, he passed it on to you" "He?"David nods, "Apollo" Okay confusion was more evident on Ares face. Why was here? Who is David M
"Come Ares" David ushers, guiding Ares further into the office to an open book shelf that stood firm with books filled in it. He pulled a book, the shelf split open coming in view is a dark circle-ish button. David instantly pressed it open and a handprint detector slid open."Go ahead!" David ushers.Ares gave him a skeptical look before he placed his hand on the print, instantly the wall clock opened."Now what you're about to see, it's not but the future of the Dominatus Aeternus which now lies in your hands." David says.The lights clicked on and Ares was left in awe. The room is vast, with high ceilings adorned with intricate designs. The walls are lined with weapons from various martial arts, each one telling its own story of discipline and strength. The room is dimly lit, creating an atmosphere of reverence.In the center of the room stands a display case, housing the most prized weapons. Ares's heart races as they approach, his fingers itching to touch the polished steel. Th
Ares walked into the Kingsley Mansion after David dropped him off. He is scheduled to meet with Elena today and their wedding surprisingly was supposed to take place in Two weeks time.Ares was guided further into the mansion passing through the empty corridors filled with various elegant shiny designs of different types."Take a seat please, Mr and Mrs Kingsley will come to see you in short" The maiden that had guided him in announced to which he gave her a curt nod."Thank you"She offered him a slight smile before walking away. Ares roamed his stare around the parlor in search of any clues or hint before his eyes fell on a file of paper on top of the Consol just a few steps ahead from where he sat.He for you stealing glances to make sure he wasn't seen and luckily the camera wasn't directed to the certain place.His eyes fell on a symbol, a dark encarved symbol with trenches of black stood .The symbol somehow looks R like. It definitely had to do with the Rortex. His hands roame
She was wearing a knee-length dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. The dress was a vibrant shade of crimson, accentuating her radiant complexion. Her long, flowing hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of silk, adding an air of elegance to her already captivating presence. As she walked further into the room, Ares stared in awe. He couldn't help but be mesmerized by her beauty, staring at her in complete awe.Okay this was definitely going to be harder than he thought.Last time he found a woman so captivating was his ex Camila. Elna is a goddess. "Dad, who is this?" She questions taking in more of Ares. The way her nose cringed had Ares mentally facepalm himself. Not her either. "Elena my dear, come" Her father ushers. She moved towards him. He guided her to the chair seating her down before he motioned with his eyes for Ares to sear as well."He's the person we talked about–"She bolts up, "What!" Unbelievably.There we go again, Ares thought to himsel
"Are you sure you'll come and visit?" His mum said cupping his cheek. He nods as though she could see him before he mumbled, "Yes mum, I promise" it makes his heart wince to see her in a condition like this.He missed how her eyes would be if she saw him or told him how lucky she is to have him and the sad thing is all his life he's been living a lie and nothing else. Both Mr and Mrs Russor never thought to tell him about all this but he doesn't blame them for it. They were only doing what they were paid to, if anything even more. The sacrifice they both have made for him was something he could never repay. They've never made him feel even for once that he wasn't their son or he didn't belong. They gave him everything a parent would give his child. "Fine, I hope to see you soon," she says, her lips spreading into a sad smile. Ares thought to send her to her sister's place in Georgia, it was way safe. For all he knows, the DuPont are still after him and he could risk her safety.
Ares is fuming! He's all fired up, charging towards his Cristian with pure fury in his eyes. Cristian for some reason has a bad record of harassing ladies not this time. Ares felt the burning rage consuming him. He hasn't gotten in a fight with anyone since got out of prison. He has been keeping his cool down but right now he didn't think he could hold it any much longer.Just as Cristian leaned forward to capture Elena's lips Ares dragged him off, throwing him to the other side. Elena who has her eyes shut and expecting the worst burst open her eyes coming in view with the scene that is beholding.Ares bolts to Cristian, launching punches towards him."You son of bitch!" Cristian roars trying to get off but who was he kidding, he was no match for Ares' strength. "If I ever see you lay" Ares says, dislocating more of his face, "Any finger not just on her but any other lady" Punch, "I'll kill you!" Ares threatens.Elena that sat at the corner in tears shivered in fear. "Get the fu
"You look polished for a middle class person," David remarks, taking in Ares' look. The Kingsley are holding an engagement party for both Elena and him. They're using the medium to introduce Ares as their son in law and Elena's fiancee. "Tell me about it" Ares speaks his tune dripping with Sarcasm."Remember, I know things may get messy there but try as much as possible to avoid triggering any suspicion. Keep you cool" David advised, knowing very well how Bulkhead Ares is. "Judging by it, most of the Rortex members will be attending the wedding event, so you must keep your eyes and ears open," David explains.He pulled out a black cover from his pocket, slipping it open, "Here, take this." He ushers Ares."They're nanopods. We'll use it to communicate. I have my man install cameras in there so we'll see each and every activity that goes on and alert you" Ares nods, "Okay" "Great! Then you must get going" David ushers to which Ares nods."Good luck" he saysAres nods and proceeds
"I'd like to make a toast, '' Mr Kingsley said, putting his cup forward.He has just announced the news about Ares and Elena's engagement. Whispers spread like wildfire when Ares was asked to step on the stage alongside Elena. Some sent him disgusting stares, one that dims him unworthy of being with one of them but he wasn't bothered, he had one mission to set straight and it's exactly what he's gonna do.The guests move forward with their glass waiting for Me Kingsley to go ahead before they finally make a toast."Welcome to the Family Son" Me Kingsley says his tune dripping with Sarcasm. The death glares Mrs Kingsley kept sending at Ares is enough to make him squirt and run off yet he remains nonchalant."You'll regret this" Mrs Kingsley spat, turning on her shoes and walking off the stage.Elena spared him a quick glance before tailing behind her mother. "You see, no one wants you and the sooner you get that into your thick head, the better" Mr Kingsley mumbled, his lips spreadi
