"It's a brain tumor and he needs to be operated on as soon as possible " The doctor explained to both Henry and Allison. Allison nods wiping the tear that had slipped. "When can you begin with the process?""As soon as you pay the bills and---""Bills? Fucking go ahead with it or I'd have you sacked instantly " Allison fires burning with annoyance.The audacity of his thinking they could not afford the hospital bills, the hospital that is owned by the Blackwoods, he dared to cut to delay the processes.Henry squeezed her hands in comfort cutting her off before she could say anything she intended to say to the doctor."Go ahead with the necessities Doctor,""I'm sorry but you have to understand --" the doctor tries to reason but is soon cut off by Allison who bolts up in anger sending daggers at him that make him move slightly uncomfortably. "You fucking shut up and do as he says!" She fires. "Allison, calm down" Henry pulled her down to take a seat huffing out a sigh. "Who owns th
"I'm sorry, we did all we could but we lost him" The doctor announced the whole air suddenly turning thick. Everyone zoned out with widened eyes digesting the news that had just been announced. "What!?" Elena fired inching close to the doctor that took a step back with the hardened stare she held and tear-filled eyes, it made the doctor take a step back for safety measures. "The patient didn't make it" the nurse by the doctor's side clarifiedAllison had long reached the ground in tears taking in the news with Henry by her side. "That's a lie! He can't fucking be!" Elena spared more tears streaming down her eyes. "It can't be." She mumbled yet again breaking into sobs."I'm sorry Mrs Blackwood --"She cut him off before he could say more. "Shut up! My husband is alive so you better go back in there and bring me to him or I'll kill you too, I swear, I promise " she fires in one go with heavy breaths. Ares couldn't be dead. No! He can't die, it's a lie. They must be playing a prank
The morning sunlight dropped on her face urging her to retire, instantly her phone began to ring as well causing her to groan. Elena let the phone ring till it cut off but yet again it began to ring. "Ugh!" She groaned mustering up the strength to get off from bed but failed miserably.She reached for her phone by the side of the bed grabbing a hold of It. Answering the call, she placed it on her left ear mumbling, "Hello" with her awful morning voice."Ares is awake" Allison shot causing Elena's eyes to widen fully and bolt off from the bed."What!?" She asked to be sure of what she had heard. "Yes. He's awake, the doctors are currently undergoing some checkups. They said if they don't spot any problems, he could be discharged within a week" Allison explains.A smile spread across Elena's lips giving a nod as though Allison could see her, "Okay. I'll be there in a bit" "Alright then"Elena cut off the call placing a hand on her lips that were spread into a smile. Why was she happ
"The doctor said you could be discharged today" Allison announced as she walked in to which he nodded.Even if the doctor didn't say so, nothing was stopping him from leaving the hospital premises today, he was sick and tired of the environment, and it made him sick. The thought of Elena suddenly crossed his mind. She still didn't come to visit not even once, part of him was disappointed he didn't expect much from her just to care but somehow her absence did things to him and made him feel ways he was never supposed to feel. The door flung open revealing David with some files in his hand."Allison here are your reports and you're okay," he says as he walks closer to them.Ares left brow arched up inquisitively wondering what David was talking about."You inherited the brain tumor from mum, according to David. So we decided that I get tested if I was negative and positive" she explained to which he nodded in response.David clears his throat, "You're good to go but we'll still visit
Ares got into the VIP elevator that was meant for him with Elena tailing behind like a meekish person. It's been two days since he was discharged and since Elena acted bitchy.He has been avoiding her so as not to talk her off or so something that they'd both regret. Her words still rang in his ears.Part of him hoped that Elena could be a different person and was only under the impression. The Elevator clicked open as they got to his floor catching him out of his train of thought. He had only resumed work and had also ordered that she did. They had an important meeting today he had sent the presentations and every necessity will be discussed in the meeting so that she could have an insight into what is going to be taking part in the meeting. He looked at the door to his office and walked in his lips finally parting to say something, "Go through these files and give me a review. Have the board room ready before" he paused taking a look at his wristwatch."Thirty minutes." He speaks
Ares just called through the telecom, requesting to see her in his office right away. He had been giving her the silent treatment as usual. She didn't bother to indulge in his affairs. As it is, Felix has his eyes on Elena. Felix had warned her and set boundaries for her too, ones she's dared not to cross or would face the consequences.Elena walked into his office meeting him so engrossed in the work he had ahead of him. She had her eyes glued to her shoes as though they were the most interesting thing to stare at at the moment."Check the mail I sent to you" he spoke after he kept her waiting for about 5mins. She went through her phone and read it. It was written there that they had to attend a gala night seminar in Los Angeles, the seminar is going to be held in three days so they have to leave tomorrowShe released a soft sigh and looked up to face him, she knew was not asking for her permission or consent rather it was an order"Yes sir" She replied and he just nodded, the aud
Ares sat in the car time conscious they were already getting late but his dear wife seemed to be taking the time of her life to get dressed.Seriously, most times he wonders what takes a woman too long to get dressed. All that should be done requires a minimum amount of time to be taken care of but they take forever to get dressed. He took a glance at his wristwatch yet again pausing his action on typing a mail he had promised to send to Apollo about the Russian company that they were dealing with. Ares lets out a hiss pairing it with a curse, he is a minute away from getting out of the car and dragging her out of the room.His thoughts are cut short when the door slips open revealing ananlegant-dressed Elena. Her scent is the first thing that hits his nostrils notifying her presence. His neck turned to the left as his eyes dropped on her his scowl was replaced with a flabbergasted look. His eyes scrutinize her appearance. The dress clung to her in every right way making him harden
Elena's blood drew to every inch of her body as she saw the meaning in Ares's eyes. It had her panic for s second making her thought go haywire, almost as though he was going to do the same thing Felix had done to her. She stared at him through the dim light but his orbs were light enough. Ares hissed turning on his shoe causing her to let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She lifted from the bed trying to adjust her exposed skin to his view but before she could the light had turned on making her eyes draw in shock.He had stood a few feet away from her for a minute and lost it the look in his eyes screamed different emotions mostly horror as though he had seen a monster which made Elena begin to tear up as she hurriedly got up from the bed adjusting the gownAres stood stiff unable to make a move his stare not leaving Elena a second. Elena knew, that once Ares was to see the real her he wouldn't be able to tolerate her anymore, he'd send her out and away from his life
