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
Ares stepped out of the car, releasing a heavy sigh. Looking ahead, was a group of men, all clad in black suits, as they stood near the private jet. He walked towards them, as they all acknowledged his presence, which he ignored."Welcome aboard Master '' One of the flight attendants said, as he settled down on one of the seats."Thank you"He wrapped a seat belt around his waist, before resting his head back and shutting his eyes, taking a deep breath as the jet took off. The jet was now stable in the air. Sighing in relief, he unbuckled the seatbelt, and stretched his body, before grabbing his MacBook."Anything you'd like to have, Master?""Coffee. No Sugar! No Milk" He muttered, focusing his gaze on the pile of work in front of him.Henry took a seat next to him, "Master the reports you asked to be sent in have been done as per instructed, anything else" he asked.Ares remained mute for a while before he parted his lips to reply, "Yes. Cancel any business involved with DuPonts" H
"What!?" Both Ares and Henry blurt out at the same time flabbergasted by that sudden look. He knew the face looked Familiar get he couldn't point out his own look alike. Not that it was evident not until you looked quit deeper only then you won't notice.David nods, "She's your younger sister," he says yet again the news sinking more into Henry's head. "How?" Henry mumbled didn't think it'd be heard but it was."Allison is your mother's baby two weeks before her dismissal. After your mother's death, Magnus had her in the care of your maternal aunt, Allison has been living with her for the past years" David explains. Too much to digest. Anytime he thinks he's heard enough something pops up yet again. Don't get him wrong, Ares had always wanted a sibling being the only kid, he had all the attention to himself and sometimes it gets tiring, at that times he'd want nothing more than to her a sibling. "Just as you, Allison has been undercovered just as you. I had Allison come here cause
"She's a good woman" Allison compliment referring to Elena. Ares shot her an inquisitive look to which she shrugs. "My fashion line is in collaboration with her" She explains. "She's been a model for our product for quite some time now. We're very close friends--" She proceeds Ares getting lost in the middle of the conversation.An Idea suddenly popped on his head lighting up his eyes. "How close?" he asks cutting her off.She stops before her lips part to say, "Quit much but we seem to be growing apart since I got into the system""You're moving to New York" Ares announces."No. Why would I? I don't have any business there" "You do now, you'll be leaving with me" She gave him a look of 'Why the sudden decision' or was he already playing the ordering brother role?"I need you to be part of this. You have to get closer to her, I don't know if she has any information about the Rortex but I do know Cristian does" Ares reasoned his eyes zoned to a particular spot in the parlor, connec
"Ready?" Ares asked through the mouthpiece. "Yes," Both Henry and Allison answered. They just got to the Kingsley Mansion where Elena's birthday would be taking place.Henry and Elana had gone in already giving some unnoticeable distance between themselves as ordered by Ares, whereas Ares just walked in.Ares is dressed in a casual outfit one that looks partially worn out almost intimated by the men who wore tuxes and ladies with fancy dresses. The Theme of the part screamed elegance one that Ares didn't possess, or so he did.He walked his hand in the pocket and the first person he saw was Mrs Kingsley heading towards him her nose flaring in displeasure.He chuckles knowing very well what had made her upset yet decided to act oblivious. He cleared his throat as she got there."Good Evening Mum" he greeted Infuriating her even more. She glared at him, "What are you wearing? And don't you dare call me that, I'd rather die than birth a disgrace like you" She spat more into a mumble
"Bring me down," she fires as they step out of the hall barely above a whisper.He ignores her.She hits his chest with her soft hands, trying to get him to keep her down, yet to no avail. If only she knew what that did to him, she'd stop before things get messy."You do not own. I am not your wife Ares Russor. I never will and never will be," she blurts, her voice weary just as her lids.He still didn't get her a response, knowing very well it was the effect of the alcohol messing with her head, so it was of no use getting into an argument with her.She cupped his face with her left palm, running her hands around his jawline, "How can you be this handsome? " He chuckled, clearly amused. Normally, alcohol makes people say things they've been keeping off, so here she was admitting to his looks."Do you have to look good even in the filthy clothes you where?" She adds. Henry suddenly approached them. "You stay here with Allison. I'll drive us home, " he orders, knowing very well that
Elena has been avoiding Ares ever since she woke up snuggled next to him, which didn't go unnoticed by Ares but he pretended oblivious and nonchalant too, adding to her tension.He walked in on Allison and Elena who seemed to be engrossed in a deep sorta conversation. He stood by the side where they didn't get a sight of him listening to their talks."Per say you get wasted in a club and maybe end up having a one night stand with someone and next thing you wake up to a stranger --- A hot one, to be precise, and next thing you can't get him off your head" Elena explained uneasily. Ares had to fight back a chuckle so as not to get noticed. He knew she was talking about him and knowing that he had his thoughts carved on her mind made him feel dominant."Huh! Did you have a one-night stand?" Allison asked her tune laced with pretense as though she didn't put one on one together. She had felt Ares' light steps when he walked him and could feel his presence yet she pretended not to so as
Ares paced to the lobby of the hospital, the silent walls of the VIP section filled with thick Air. He has just arrived at the hospital where Mr Kingsley was brought.He was on a call with Allison earlier and she told him that Elena had received the news even before he did and they were currently on their way to the hospital. Ares sighted Elena wrapped in Mrs Kingsley's warmth both tense as they sat quietly in tears, their sobs filling the Air. His steps halted as Mrs Kingsley noticed him, her eyes dark and daring but deep within them held fear and pain. Fear of losing her husband. She lifted Elena from the hug just then Elena noticed Ares. His eyes softened as they fell into hers, he could see the burning pain in them, he almost had to fight the urge to have her in his arms and give assurance, assurance that everything would be fine and that she needed nothing to worry about. "You! You did this " She fires pointing an accusing finger at him. His brows drew together in confusion
