Vera drove away with a wide smile on her lips, she liked how much Ivan cared for her. It was an entirely new feeling to her, to have someone apart from her mother care for her this well, that is minus the press who are always on her case for juicy gossip and something to feed the public with.He had a good sense of business and was very intelligent in management and finances, She thought about hiring him but discarded the thought just as immediately as it came to her.The headline would be horrendous, ‘Millionaire CEO Vera, hires her ex-husband Ivan Johnson as her assistant due to his immense brilliance’ She laughed out loud at the thought of it.The headlines aside, she knew Ivan would never take a job from her, he was the most responsible, respectful human, but he had an ego that was larger than his head and a pride he would never let down.She knew this from the little happenings around the house for the three years they were together.She reached out her hand to turn on the radio,
Mother Isis followed Ares with her gaze as he stomped out, she didn't blame him. Every so often we feel so strong for people that we can't stand any form of slander against them.She had been very much in love once and had made insane sacrifices, so she understood why Ares would rather be in disagreement with the sect than do anything that might hurt or threaten Sara's safety.“Don't! Sit back down” She commanded Athena as she made to stop him “he needs to clear his head”Athena looked at the door before letting out a sigh and sitting back down. She didn't understand why Mother Isis would stop her or why Hades and Osiris thought using Sara as bait was a good idea or suggestion when they both knew how Ares felt about her.Men! She thought, wondering why thinking was hard for them sporadically.“Do you men ever bother using your brain sometimes? Try it, it is helpful.” She said, rolling her eyes at the three of them.“Calm down Athena,” Mother Isis said pleadingly, the last thing she wa
“What do you mean by you know what I did?” Vera asked, amusement laced in her voice.“I know that you killed my son.” He said firmly, pointing an accusing finger at her. “You saw him as a threat and competition and decided to eliminate him” Vera burst into roaring laughter, shaking her head. Her, Vera, saw his late son Steve as a competition, an insane joke.“Mr. Anderson, with all due respect, if you don’t have something tangible to say to me, I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you to leave,” Vera putting on a stoic face and a stern voice.“I’m not going anywhere until you admit to it, or I’m going to press charges for the murder of my son.” Mr. Anderson said, wagging a fat index finger at her.“I cannot admit to a crime I did not commit Mr. Anderson, so if you will please excuse me, I have work to do.” She said getting to work at the desk.“You’re just trying to prove stubborn, aren’t you, what did Steve ever do to deserve that?” He asked with an emotion in his voice.“Forgive me for what
Ares froze at the question, not because he didn't have an answer to that, but because he didn't know how to explain, Where would he start, how would he make her understand without sounding like some kind of obsessed creep?Sara waited patiently for an answer. She could sense his breathing Change and his pulse pick up pace, she knew instantly that he was anxious. It probably was a touchy subject for him and was sorry to pry, but it involved her, so she needed to know.Ares watched her face, brushing away a stray strand from her face, churning his mind for the best way possible to tell her without completely telling her.He knew she wasn't ready to hear everything, at least not right now, She would most definitely freak out and ask to go home or ask to be taken to her people, the old gods."Why?" Sara asked again.Ares sighed lightly, his grip on her hand tightening a tad bit."Because Sara I...I lost you five years ago," he stuttered. "And I don't plan on ever losing you again," he sai
Ivan went to the bar again, and stormed across it to the back, sliding in through the wall and slipping into the corridor that led to the sect arena.He was pissed as to why the sect brothers did not trust his judgment or his word, he was a leader, and it was his place to make decisions.He saw Artemis just outside the door pacing as she dialed on her phone, she had a worried expression on her face. Furthermore, he saw the look of relief on her face as She saw him and walked faster towards her.“What’s the problem?” He questioned. “I don't understand why, but these sect brothers are making a fuss out of it” she whispered “Out of, why Artemis?” “The fact that you made the decisions so quickly and sent out orders without consulting them.” She replied.“You need to go talk to them,” she said just as the sound of loud voices arguing came from the room.“I’ll go see what this is all about.”He said opening the door and stepping in.The noise immediately died down when he walked in.“Go
Ares stepped into his room just opposite Sara’s he closed the door behind him leaning on it and letting out a sigh of relief. That went better than he imagined, he thought, untucking his dress shirt from under his pants.He slowly leaned away from it, taking his time to unbutton the shirt. He pulled it off his body as he got to the bed, landing face down on the pillows.He wanted to sleep right away, but he knew he had to freshen up to get the quality of sleep he deserved. so he got back up to undress completely and take his shower.He slowly sat back on the bed and bent to take off his shoes before he stood and proceeded to take off his trousers.He scooped up the clothes threw them into the hamper on the side, and walked to the bathroom.The last thing Sara saw was his retreating as she fell into the warm embrace of a much-needed sleep, the soft mattress made it even more warm, making her cozy up into the pillowsShe was awakened by a ray of sunlight that shone brightly, peeking fro
Ivan shook his head at what Artemis just said, deathly scared of him. He knew his status commanded respect, it was something he was aware of he just didn't know it commanded fear too."Scared?" He asked stopping to look at her."Yes, In case you might have forgotten, you are the great god Zeus. Of course, you are feared. No one would dare talk back at you or question your judgment." Artemis says walking fast behind him."Artemis I don't want to be feared, at least not by my people," Ivan said matter of factly."I understand, but I doubt that any one of them gets that." Artemis said looking up at him "That's why you have me and Hermis, we respect you, a whole lot but we don't fear you"Ivan sighed in relief but as they got to the wall that separated their world from the real world."Thank you Artemis," Ivan said leaning in for a hug." I'll see you around, keep me updated" he said vanishing into the wall "Okay," Artemis barely said she was transfixed on the spot.Ivan, the great god Ze
“So…yesterday?” Anna asked, turning a questioning gaze to him.“It went well,” Ares said, smiling from ear to ear, “better than I thought it would.”“I can tell from that smile,” Anna said, giggling, as she turned the Bacon over in the pan, moving back a little from the sizzling oil.“Careful there,” Ares said, reaching out for a mug in a top drawer and pouring himself a cup of coffee.“Did she remember anything?” Anna asked, putting off the stove and taking the pan down.“Not really, but she was so inquisitive and paid attention to every detail” Ares answered, playing around with his fingers on the rim of the mug.“You answered her every question?” Anna said, proceeding to set the table for breakfast.“I did, and I'm sure she has even more questions for me yet.” He said putting his used mug in the sink.“I’ll give her today’s dose when she gets down, and you do your part of making her remember, it’ll eventually come to her,” Anna said as she dished the bacon and eggs into the plates.
