In the dimly lit office, they stepped in to find a man seated in a chair, with his back turned towards them, gazing out into the nighttime cityscape. The room was bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, casting a mysterious atmosphere.

"Sir" Delilah calls, urging the person sitting behind the chair to spin over.

A man around his late fifties came into view urging Ares's brows to draw in confusion as to who he was.

Wait, was he missing something or what?

"Ares Russor" The man called his lips, spreading into a smile, "It's so good to finally meet you." The man acknowledged getting up and walking towards Ares.

He passed out his hands for a shake, Ares contemplated whether or not to take it before he finally did, "And you are?"

"David Mitchell" He introduced his eyes lingering on the dragon ring.

Ares noticed his stare causing him to pull his hands off.

"I see, he passed it on to you"

"He?"

David nods, "Apollo"

Okay confusion was more evident on Ares face. Why was here? Who is David Mitchell? Was he supposed to know him?

And most importantly, how does he know Master A?

"He didn't tell you, did he?" David asks, slicing through Ares's train of thoughts.

Ares' lips remained sealed; he didn't know what to say or how to put it. He always knew there was something Master A had been hiding from him, he'd always tell him when you're ready, you'll find out.

There was more to what he knew.

"Delilah, leave us" he ushers.

She nods, "Yes Sir"

Ares noticed the glance she stole at him before she turned on her heels and walked out.

"Come, take a seat please. We have a lot to talk about" David says motioning at the couch.

Ares was skeptical yet he still followed suit.

Initially he's here for Cristian and now this? He didn't see that coming but something about David didn't sit well with him.

"Where is he?" Ares asks.

"Apollo?"

He nods.

David paused for a second, "What did he say to you before you got bailed?"

When the time comes.

Fuck.

"Bailed?"

What did he mean by bailed? He was set free because of the presidential pardon he got.

Every two years the president sends relief to the prisons that have been sentenced for long years depending on Their change of character and behavior.

"What? You didn't think you were set free did you?" David asks with a chuckle.

"Oh kid, There's a lot more that you have no idea about"

"Enlighten me then" Ares blurted, already getting fed up by David's puzzle-ish talks.

"The incident that happened with the DuPont that sent you to jail. They didn't only get you sentenced for 10 years, there was more to it. You weren't supposed to last a month" David leaned in placing his hands on the table, "They wanted you dead or should I say he"

"What?"

David sighed, "Apollo was assigned to protect yo–"

Ares cut him off, "How? He got there six years before me and it didn't look it when I got there"

"No. He got imprisoned two days before you got there" David corrects.

Ares shakes his head in dismay, "What is this? Why are you doing this and why?"

David remained mute for a second, "Ares now is not the time–"

"Bullshit! Don't fucking give me that crap." Ares bolts up in annoyance having fed up with all of this.

"Calm down."

"Don't tell me that! Who are you? And what do you want with me?" Ares inquires with barely contained irkness.

David observed Ares infuriated self clasping his hands together with a sigh, "Take a seat Ares"

"No–"

"Please"

Ares grown before settling down.

"We don't have much time." David says getting Ares more and more confused yet curious.

"Time for what?"

"Your father is gone Ares"

"Yes and you think I don't know that?"

David shakes his head frantically, "No not Mr Russor. Your biological father"

What?

Biological father?

Okay this man has completely lost it, he definitely doesn't know what he's talking about.

"I'm sorry Ares you had to find out this way." David console with piety lashed in his voice.

"No. This is absurd, you don't know what you're talking about and I don't have time for this, I need to get home" He got up.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Ares halts, "Excuse me?"

David nods. "Look Ares. As I mentioned earlier, we don't have much time."

"Time for what!? Could you quite talking in riddles and fucking speak with sense" Ares roars huffing out series of breaths.

"I get that you're upset but if you'll just sit and hear me out then it'll save much time for both you and I" David tries to reason.

Ares shakes his head, "What is this? What are you and why am I here? You work for the DuPonts don't you"

David chuckles, "No Ares. I work for your father but now for you, now that he's gone"

Ares all thought this was absurd who serves this man, is definitely losing it.

"Work? For me?" Ares asks to which David nods.

Ares laughs a weary one, "Yeah right!".

"Ares you're the future to Grandeur Empire and Dominatus Aeternus, with your father gone it's high time you took over"

"Over what exactly and why do you keep saying My father? Who specifically are you talking about if not Henry Russor?"

David's lips sealed into a thin line before they part to respond, "Magnus Lockwood is your father Ares"

    Two years later"Kill him," Ares says, cutting off from the call. He heaved out a breath, walking out of the room.He left for England two days ago after lying to Elena that he had some work-related issues and would be back as soon as he could for Ryan's fifth birthday.How time flies. Just like yesterday, the duo were on each other's necks wanting nothing to do with one another, and today, all he could say or do was be more grateful to fate.Ares left for England to finalize everything with his daughter's foster parent. He had paid them off handsomely for giving his daughter the best parental care, judging by her behavior and character. He also promised them that Nova would come to visit.Ares still hasn't informed Elena about it; he wanted it to be a surprise. His family isn't complete without having her as well.She was born out of the mistake they made years ago; call her a beautiful mistake that he'll forever cherish."Master" Henry cuts him out of his train of thought."Yes He,

    Russor regretted leaving Ares there. He could have finished him off, when he had the chance to.Why had he not loaded the gun, before now? He must make sure that Ares does not survive it, because it would be easy for him to manipulate Allison to signing everything to him.He had recently found out about Ryan, and didn't know know him, that was why he had put Allison's name as his next of kin. It was temporary, because as the rules stated, he needed to have a son, who would inherit all of it.When he had found out about Ryan, things did not go on well as he planned, so he had no time to change certain things.If he could not kill Ares, he would need to have him in his custody, so as to get Allison, who was softhearted, to sign everything in his name."Do everything you have to do to make sure he does not make it out alive," Russor instructed.He had lost the chance to kill him, but it didn't mean he was too late to do it. It was all because of Ares that his right to freedom of movem

    Ares was restless. He tried everything possible to find out Russor's location, but every time he tried, it kept saying 'not found'. The pictures of his wife and son were still vivid in his mind. He could not get the picture out of his head. They kept flashing in, whenever he tried to think of a solution.He had asked Allison to join the men to track their location, and he also did that because he wanted to be alone.His mind was in chaos. He was panicking.If he didn't act fast, by the this time, tomorrow, he might receive a photo of.."No!" He yelled, dreading the thought of receiving their corpse. He would never have forgiven himself, because it would be his fault, partially.There was nothing he could do, but surrender the inheritance to him, and devise a way to run away with his family. He just wanted this nonsense to end.He prepared all the documents that was needed to be handed over to Russor. He stared at all of them, like he was trying to imprint it on his mind.All his fath

    Russor was not stupid. The ring alone could not do so much. It was only a way to lure Elena into his lair, get hold of her, and of course, make Ares hopeless.She had suffered an external bleeding from the blow, making blood to trickle down the side of her face. She was tied up, and thrown beside her son, who laid helplessly on the floor.Russor was an epitome of a heartless demon. He could not even pity the 4-year-old boy!He asked the man to take a perfect picture of the mother and son in all angles, and sent it to Ares.He added a caption to it, which said: "How do you like this present? Any further delay, and you'll be gifted their dead bodies. I'm sure they are more important to you than that inheritance, be smart, Ares. Be smart."Allison came back from the black web. She had been there for a while, trying to track Russor's location, but it was all in vain.She needed to check up on the duo, and when she got the house, she found it strange as to how quiet it was.Could it be th

    "Alright, then. Great choice you have made, Elena! You have less than a day," he said."What?" "I give you 12 hours. I believe that you are a smart woman, you can get it done in 6 hours, even. Once you get it, call me, and I will send you the location. Remember, no one. I mean, no one at all should know about this," he voiced sinisterly."Do not harm my son, please. I will bring the ring to you, just don't do anything to him," she begged, feeling a sense of guilt, for being so irresponsible."Get to it, already. Your time has already started. You now have 10 hours to go, if I were you, I would not say anything further. Good luck!" He said, and let out a wry laughter.The phone beeped. He had ended the call, leaving her to devise a plan to get the ring.She sat on the bed, and didn't feel comfortable, so she began to pace around the room, racking her head, trying to come up with something.How was she going to get the ring? For one, Ares would not give it her if she demanded it, and h

    Elena stepped back a little, shocked at his confession. She had not expected him to say something like that. Not even in her wildest dreams, did she think Ares would actually profess his feelings for her."Wh…what did you say?" She asked again, to confirm that she was not dreaming.He looked into her mesmerizing eyes, captured by its ocean blue orbs, feeling entrapped. He moved some inches close to her. Subconsciously, she moved back, until she hit the wall, where she could no longer move any further.He smirked, trapping her in between his arms, as his tall figure dominated her little frame.Their eyes were locked in each other's world. He diverted his gaze, and held her hand, gently.His caressed it with so much care and tenderness, as he proclaimed his love for her, once more."I love you, Ares."She opened her mouth to speak, but her words failed her. She just didn't know what to say, or maybe, she was afraid to see it.He lifted up her chin, and drew closer to plant a kiss on h
