The Return of Ares The God of War

The Agreement

Ella bit her lips fearfully as their enemies surrounded them about. She knew her brother would keep her safe no matter what, but it didn't mean they would end up being lucky this time again.

The sun scorched above their heads, leaving Elsie wondering why Olivia had fastened a thick scarf around her neck.

Olivia didn't have the time to allow her bruised neck to be properly tended to as soon as she gained consciousness in the hospital. As they arrived home, she and Kelvin, being discharged against the doctor's will, immediately placed a call for a large troop of men and to hide the bruise, she fastened a scarf around her neck and threw on a pair of dark shades over her puffy eyes.

The men took out their weapons and charged towards Jayden, who didn't look phased by their presence, rather he looked happy to give them another beat down to show if that was what they wanted.

But then a voice leashed through the air, and they all stopped and drew back. "Stop!!!" Olivia ordered.

Kelvin looked at his lover with confusion. "What are you doing? We came here to watch that bastard get beaten to death! Why would you give an order for them to stop before it even began?"

He felt more angry than Olivia. For five years he had waited to finally claim her as his own, but it would be wrong if a married woman were to get married without getting a divorce.

The moment he sighted Jayden on their doorstep, he believed everything had been set finally and Olivia would get her divorce with him, but instead, he got beaten up by a lowly and promiscuous son-in-law!

He couldn't stop himself from thinking back to the humiliating moment of being beaten up like that.

Olivia sighed and leaned in closer to him. "Remember why we have been waiting all these five long years without getting married. It is impossible for me to get a divorce on my own, he needs to be alive to sign it as well."

Kelvin hissed. "So now we can't do anything against him? We have to let him walk scot-free even after what he did to both of us?!" He asked through gritted teeth.

Olivia smirked. "We are not fools to be messed with like that, my love. We would have him think we would let him leave scot-free if he agrees to divorce me, but as soon as the divorce papers have been signed, we shall have a feast with their blood as wine."

Kelvin's lips curved into a sly grin, signifying that he was happy to go along with her plan.

He would get to watch all three of them die. Nothing in the world could satisfy the hunger in him more than that.

Olivia stepped forward and took off her sunglasses. "Long time no see cousin."

It was the first time Jayden had seen Elsie frown. Her nostrils flared and her brows furrowed.

Olivia only smiled. "You must be so happy now that a knight in shining armor has ridden to your rescue. How shameless can you be to feel so elated about having someone else's man by your side?"

Elsie's gaze wavered and fell to the ground. She had lost her confidence.

There was something else that burdened her, but Jayden couldn't guess what. He decided to ignore it until they were free of their pests.

"Did you ask your men to stop so you could give a petty speech? No one wants to hear it." Jayden said coolly.

Olivia's brow twitched in irritation. "Guess what cousin? You're in luck because I want a divorce, and I'm more than willing to hand over my trash to you."

"Enough with the petty talk, Olivia, seriously, no one wants to hear your lies." Jayden repeated.

"Lies?" Olivia broke out in a soft laugh. "You think that I'm lying?" Her thin brow arched as she asked.

"We all know you forced her into this situation just like you did to me. How could you play us like that?" Jayden squinted, his coolness was starting to get overshadowed by anger.

Olivia, yet again, broke out in laughter. "Sure, I used you, Jayden, because you were so gullible into believing I could ever love trash like you. I made sure you were drunk and drugged, so my plan didn't have any flaws.

"But she..." Her eyes landed on Elsie and Elsie's head lowered to the ground, her cheeks were flushed red with anger and embarrassment.

"Why was she as sane as me that night? Not even a single drop of alcohol was in her system." Olivia grinned smugly. "Yes, yes, you were blackmailed, Jayden, but that woman is just an ordinary harlot who had eyes for someone else's man."

Jayden smirked. "Your story amuses me, Olivia. But I'm afraid to tell you that the only harlot here is you, who has been cheating on her husband for five years without shame."

Olivia's face flushed red with anger. "How dare you--"

"Now can we go back to the part where you asked for a divorce? I'm more interested in that since it's what I want as well."

Elsie looked up at Jayden's face with adoration. His hand held hers firmly, and she felt so safe just standing next to him.

How could he take her side like that when they only shared a night's memory together?

Olivia and Elsie shared the same thought. It infuriated Olivia more because he was protecting another woman in front of her who he claimed he loved.

Olivia grunted. Taking a breath, her emotions were under control once more. "Yes, if you agree to divorce me, then I will forget everything and leave you to live happily ever after with your two little piglets."

Jayden only smiled. "Okay, shall we go ahead and get it done then?"

He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number. Olivia wondered what the reason behind his smug smile was, but she would never have guessed that the man she was about to give up was the one she would regret for the rest of her life.

All she ever wanted was wealth and power, and she could have had it all as the wife of a supreme general, but she was too naive to know.

Jayden would be pleased to have her live in regret for the rest of her life. It was better than taking her life. People like her would rather die than to live in regret.

Several cars pulled up from the road ahead and Olivia didn't believe what her eyes saw next.
