It was large, spacious, accommodating and quite empty, but it felt like home. Jayden and his sister, Ella, had spent the past few days changing some things in the house they did not like, for example, Ella had wanted new sofas and a softer bed in her room.

She had taken her time to redecorate her room to her taste. Jayden did not mind anything, he could have stayed there the way it was, but he was more than willing to spend as much as needed for his sister.

Everything was to her taste now and he was glad that she liked it.

Things were not the same, obviously, even though the house was to their liking now-- Ella's liking to be precise-- the house still felt empty.

It was just the two of them now, their parents were no more. Jayden did not like to think back on it but he knew he had to face that reality soon.

The morning sun was hanging brightly in the whitish blue sky, the estate was quiet and peaceful, only few houses were there, apparently only the richest of the richest people liv

    Ella stared at her brother. "What do I want to do with my life?" He nodded his head. "Yeah. What is something that is on your mind that you want to accomplish?" Her face hardened kind of. "I want to get revenge on all of those bastards that did this to us! I want to make them pay! That is what I want to accomplish. A punishment worse than death is what I want to give to them!" "No." Jayden's voice was soft as he said it but it held some authority. "You will not do that?" Ella's eyes widened. "What? Don't you want to make them pay for what they did to our family, to Mom and dad, to me, to you! Don't you?""I do!" Jayden's cool tone broke as he snapped. He let out a soft breath and continued in his usual cool tone, "I do. I want to get revenge on them more than you think and I know that you must feel the same way that I do--""So why are you trying to stop me from getting revenge on them?" Her voice broke, the bitterness of the memory in her head causing her to want to shudder. "Be

  • The Return of Ares The God of War    Home

    In the broken remains of what used to be a city....A loud noise tore through the sky as a fighting jet disturbed its peace and serenity. Bullets rained from the sky and the earth erupted in loud explosions. Lifeless bodies streamed down the ground and blood soaked up the earth. In the eyes of Jayden Knox, it was nothing new. He didn't even as much as flinch at the sight of the bodies now lying cold on the ground and the blood that surrounded them. Maybe because the majority of them weren't his own men. Rose and Sky City never learned to get together. The two had been at war for as long as Jayden could think back on. But today, history will take place. That day would be the first day that Rose City would win against Sky City and once again be triumphant over their enemies. Few men were left standing in what used to be the Sky army, and they immediately waved a flag of peace. "They have surrendered, sir! We win!" A young soldier erupted with excitement, face covered in ash from

    The hall was large and dimly lit, the wide stage was the place with the most light where several expensive masterpieces were displayed. From jewelry to paintings to oddly shaped artifacts and ceramics, every single thing was presented. Four mighty chairs were placed in front of every other, meant for the mighty giants of Rose City, though not obstructing the view of others in any way.Atop those chairs sat men of high prestige in society. Four men with power and might be feared all over the city. Four men known as the four giants. Four greedy men with bulging guts that were filled with their greed and unjust doings. They did whatever they wanted because no man dared to question them. The man in charge of everything, Dom Hawkins. A man in his sixties who refused to let go of power to anyone else. His second, Adam Gilroy. Handsome for his age of fifty. Unlike the other three, he refused to let his greedy earnings swell up on his gut. Instead, he left them in a safe untouched. The

  • The Return of Ares The God of War    The Void

    The room was nothing but a blur to Jayden and the only clear view was the cage on the stage with his sister in it. A shuddered sigh left his mouth subconsciously as he stared at her, tears pricked at his eyes. Ella had to go through so much since he left, five years ago, he wondered how she coped. Alone, punished for a crime she hadn't committed, tortured and molested. He wanted to break down in tears, and he let his heart get pulled deep into the ocean of despair by a heavy anchor. But his sister didn't think that way. Ella was happy to see her brother again, alive and well. Her circumstances almost faded from existence as she stared with a broad smile on her face at Jayden. She was so happy that she felt like crying. Now was not the time for a sob party and Jayden knew that much. He sought the void. The void was a ritual that helped him focus. He would banish all his thoughts by keeping himself inside a void where no emotions could enter and reach it easily. It was a ritual h

  • The Return of Ares The God of War    Death Party

    The bedroom was a massive space with a giant bed on one side and a red comfy sofa on the other. A table lamp stood in the drawer that was placed next to the big bed. Next to the lamp was a phone screen that suddenly came to life with a buzz. Olivia Bassett walked towards the drawer and picked up the phone. "Is that a message from the auction house? How did it go?" A man with nothing but a small towel around his waist asked her. He was stretched on the bed. Olivia herself had a towel around her chest reaching down to her thigh. Her red lips pouted in annoyance. "I wish, Kelvin... I wonder when I'll hear from them. I hope that he is dead by now!" She spat out angrily with a frown on her face. "Calm down my love, no need to get impatient." Kelvin's lips curved into a flirtatious smile. "Come, allow me to ease your stress." Olivia bit her lips as her eyes fell shut. Her body filled with ecstasy. Nothing troubled her at the moment, all her worries had drowned into the river of intense

  • The Return of Ares The God of War    Small Sacrifices

    Olivia froze for a second, she found herself nervously fiddling with the thick fabric of her towel. Only after she felt a hand wrap around her waist did she suddenly break from her worries and smile. Kelvin wrapped his arms around her waist as he stood next to her at the entrance. He was about to ask why Olivia's mere maid was causing a disturbance when he sighted Jayden and his lips spread into a smile."Well well, well, look who it is." he said boldly. Olivia snorted and crossed her arms below her breast. "I guess wishes do come true. Only seconds ago, I was wishing you would come back soon and--""Quiet!" He shunned her sharply.They all flinched at the sound of his voice, his sister included, but Ella tried to keep a frown on her face as she glared at Olivia. "Did I ask for your pathetic sob story?" His head tilted to the side as he asked her. His tone had quietened down but the anger sizzling in his voice was still very evident. Olivia felt fear grip at her throat and she swa

    Hot tears slid down her red face as she groaned and tried to break free from his strong grip. She couldn't even speak if she wanted to! Kelvin growled angrily. "How dare you try to hurt my bride?! You little thing!" He lunged himself forward but the force that threw him back into the room was unbelievable. Just one blow to the chest and Kelvin was sprawled up on the ground, choking and coughing. He tasted blood in his mouth as he coughed and hit his chest. He felt like he was being suffocated to death, and he breathed like an asthmatic patient without an inhaler. Jayden didn't even blink. His glare alone could have killed Olivia, but that wasn't enough to inflict the right amount of pain he wanted on her. How could a woman be so selfish? So dubious? So heartless! Just the thought of the things she had done caused his grip to tighten. Olivia couldn't speak, but she pleaded with her bulging eyes for him to not kill her. Who knew the fearless plotter could fear death? Jayden's ex

  • The Return of Ares The God of War    Supreme General Himself

    Elsie gasped and cupped her red face in her palm. Fear gripped her by the throat and caused her stomach to knot complicatedly. She knew him very well and also knew the things he was capable of. Justin Wick was a selfish and greedy monster who married into the Bassett family for their wealth. He cared less about his wife and hated it when people brought her up. To him, she was just his ticket to wealth. He had always had his eyes on Elsie ever since the day he saw her at a family gathering, but when he made a move towards her, she embarrassed him and warned him to stay away from her and never dare to cross paths with her again. He had no choice but to oblige then, because she was the heiress to the family wealth, and she had incomparable power. But now, she was no more than kicked out of the family for sleeping with her cousin's husband. She had no power or wealth against him, and he could do as he pleased with her since she had been kicked out. No one would ask him to have an aff

  • Cutting Ties

    Elsie was forced to smile. She finally succumbed to the girl's wishes but only with her own conditions. "Fine. But I will find the place by myself. I don't know how this will sound to you but I don't want you to know where I will be staying."Jayden squinted his eyes softly. "What? I don't... I don't understand what you mean."Elsie smiled at Ella and gently freed herself from the girl's hold. Walking towards Jayden, she took his hand in hers and squeezed it softly, "when we met... The way we met, the way our history got intertwined, it was by accident. We should have not done what we did but it happened. "I don't regret it," she saw a spark of surprise in his eyes at her words but she continued on like she had not seen it. "What has happened has happened. I think it's only right that we... Cut every ties here and say our goodbye. "I don't want to know where you are staying no matter how curious I am and I don't want you to know where I will be staying no matter how curious you are.

  • Let me Repay You

    Jayden waited her response and she herself was too flustered to think well. "I mean I cannot, I can't. You have to be with your sister, your family, she is your family and I'm not.""It does not matter. I have caused you too much loss, I owe you this, I need to repay you in every single way I can!" Jayden said firmly.Ella had opened her eyes and sat up straight without resting on him. "I don't need your sympathy." Elsie said softly. "I know that I am pathetic and poor. I own nothing of value and I myself no longer hold any value, I know, but I do not want your sympathy. It will only make me feel worse than I already am." "This is not sympathy, this is a debt I must repay! I want to do this for you not to wound your ego but to heal my own. I cannot feel better unless you are in a better condition." His voice became cool. "How can you expect a man to live knowing well that he put you in this kind of situation?""You did not put me here, I put myself here, okay? So stop feeling like y

  • The Softeness Has Already Left His Eyes

    A gentle knock on Elsie's door caused her to rise to her feet from her small bed on the ground, and she walked towards it. She reached for the handle with caution and questioned whoever was there. "It's me. "It's alright," Jayden said from the other side of the door.Elsie twisted the knot and opened the door. Her eyes landed on the man before her. She had been thinking about him not quite long ago and here he was now, standing right in front of her.She allowed him inside her shabby-looking apartment, and she settled on her small foam bed while he settled on the floor. She wanted to ask him to sit on the bed next to her, but she did not know how the offer might sound. He might think she would be trying to get close to him or something like that, but she just did not want him to disrespect his military uniform. But she kept quiet and said nothing about it instead. Her eyes landed on his facial features, the softness in his eyes that she had met five years ago had gone. She still co

  • Haunting Memories

    Jayden Knox, a man of many tales, hidden secrets, a masked identity. A man with scars that seemed to have healed on the surface but still throbbed and ached like very fresh wounds. His true story was known to himself and just him alone. Which was why he was ready to get rid of anyone who even thought about standing as an hindrance in his way. So he wanted to know if his major general was ready to have a change of heart. Was the man ready to turn back to fulfilling his duties like he was supposed to or would be prefer to be working for the wrong people just to fill his greed? "Tell me, major general, are you tired of this title which I have just addressed you as?" Jayden asked the man standing in front of him. The man's eyes widened. "Tired? Not at all sir! I have not even lived long enough under this title sir!" "Oh is that so?" Jayden arched his brow at him. "You've been here how long now? Eight years? Why eight long years in service is long enough. You should drop the title for

  • What a Bad Day

    Dom Hawkins returned home, his blood pounding with nothing but anger. How dare such an insolent little bastard ruin such a pleasant moment for me? And then he killed Adam Gilroy in cold blood! He threw himself against his couch and grunted angrily. Did he not die at war? How did he even survive the harsh training of being in the military?He was even under punishment at the time so he was supposedly heavily dealt with. How did he survive and come back just in time to save his sister? He had so many questions, but his rage had the best of him. He wanted Jayden dead and nothing more. He took out his phone and dialed the number of the major general of Rose city. The man immediately answered the call, "hello sir? Thank you for calling, I meant to reach out to you anyway." "I would like to report a crime. Adam Gilroy has been murdered and it was done by a useless church rat by the name Jayden Knox. Find him and kill him for his crime!" Dom Hawkins angrily commanded. "I know that name,

  • Change of Plans

    They all went out of Elsie's apartment together and Jayden, along with his companions, made his way to front of his men, who were standing and waiting for orders. A handsome blue-eyed guy in a military uniform ran towards Jayden as he sighted him. He gently brushed his neatly combed brown hair with his fingers and licked his pink lower lips. "Sir, Officer Travolta is here, and he claims he has orders to demolish this place." "I see..." Jayden said softly. "Did I give any orders for a demolition?" His thick brows arched slightly. "Sir?" The young soldier's blue eyes grew wider. "Oh no sir, definitely not." "Then this place stands." Jayden's voice was cool but held authority. "Where is Travolta?""In his vehicle sir." "Tell him to step down from his car and come and discuss with his old friend," Jayden said. The soldier nodded and hurried to carry out the order. "You are friends with that heartless brute?" Elsie asked, a hint of anger in her tone. Jayden scoffed with a laugh. "W

  • No Rest After War

    It felt like sparks were flying between their fixed gazes. Jayden's touch was enough to make her shiver. He finally broke the silence. "Are you alright? "Do you feel sick?" He questioned, wondering if the whole turbulence of the day had caused some sort of reaction in her, setting off a nerve that wasn't supposed to be set off in the first place. She batted her lashes. "What? Oh no, I don't feel sick. It really was just one important phone call. "We can go now, but maybe don't drive too fast," She suggested. He nodded his head and turned to Nova to make sure she had gotten the order. A nod of her head made it clear that he had. Returning into the car, they set off for their destination. Arriving at the said destination, Jayden took his time to look at the place. It was a shabby-looking complex, tall with peeling paint. Its walls were cracked, every window looking broken and dusty. As tall as it was, it measured up to none of the height of a small complex in the city. He should h
