"Ares!"
He chuckles knowing very well who it was that was summoning him. He thought he wouldn't see him off.It's been three years since the incident, three years since his life fucked up and him ending up in a highly secured prison cell all thanks to the DuPont.Huffing out a sigh, Ares turns to face the old man that is around his late eighties. Apollo is his name or Master as Ares calls him.The man that taught him everything he needed and much more to know. Apollo has moduled Ares into the worst, cause best won't fit with the now turned cold person he is.When Ares was first brought to the clutches of the damn prison, he was just some meekish innocent and weak crap.He had gone through a series of abuse, punishment and bullying from the other prisons yet somehow Master always was there, not to help him rather show him how weak he was.Master had taunted him times without number it got to an extent where Ares was on a verge of commiting suicide yet for some reason Master didn't let him.You could say Master was more like a pain in the ass or rather an old son of bitch.Most prisoners had their gangs and a leader to order them around but the Master was different. He is old, but his age didn't stop him from exuding confidence and power.No one dared to mess with him or get into his space. He has no minion or leader always on his own with his usual scowl.But as time went one Ares began to get closer to him and soon enough they formed a bond.Ares never thought they'd get along but then the old man had taught him a lot more that he'd forever be thankful of.Apollo taught Ares how to defend and stand up for himself as well as how to clean up his mess when done.Ares learnt martial arts from his master for the past three years. They'd train day after night but mostly at midnight when all prisoners were asleep and guards had less attention paid.According to Master A, if Ares wanted to be with him then he had to learn from him. Master A saw something in Areas that he had never seen, something he had been looking for and when he pointed it out, he knew he had to pass it on."Master" Ares bowed as Apollo got closer.A slight smile plastered on Apollo's lips as he reciprocated Ares' gesture."You didn't think I'd let you off without a farewell now did you?"Ares chuckled. "Thank you master."Apollo waved it off, "I'll see you on the other side?"Ares nods, "That is?""When the time comes."As always. Those words have to be his master's most likable words.Yes definitely.Apollo and his mind puzzles, you never can tell with him. He's a secretive, intriguing old man.Ares laughed, a small one. "Right.""Remember, you must use what you learned for the good or evil cause each comes with a price and when it's time to pay, you must decide" He warns."I don't want you making the same mistake I did Ares. There's goodness stored in you but not as much as the evil and for that, you mustn't let it consume you" Apollo says his words calm and composed yet soaked with firmness.Ares nods, "I'll keep that in mind""You should get going" Apollo ushers."Goodbye then""Farewell"Ares gave him a last stare before turning on his shoe. He walked some distance away from the prison area heading for the bus stop.He twisted and turned on the ring Apollo had gifted him on the night before his departure. He had made mention that he must always have it on.It's an ancestral ring adorned with an intricately carved dragon pattern. He warned him to keep it safe as it was something crucial that should be cherished.He pulled the hood of his hoodie walking into the bus."Tickets please" the driver inquiries.Ares drugged the pockets of his slacks pulling out the ticket and passing it to the driver before walking his way In.He sat at the distant end of the bus near the window. Huffing out a sigh his eyes caught in a couple that sat by the side of him unable to keep their hands to themselves.It reminded him of Camila, his ex-girlfriend that was snatched from him by the brat Cristian DuPont.The guy that sent him to prison and snatched his love away from him all because of his father's influence and wealth.The thought of him made Ares fist balled and his jaw hardened.That fateful night will forever be engraved in Ares's head.As they got to Bleecker Street in his parents home where he got off.He made sure that his hood was intact so as not to run into anyone, a friend or so.His heart skipped a bit as he sighted the front door of his parents house. It's been three years not much has changed other than that once glossy flower filled lawn now dull and unkept.His mother is a botanist, her love for flowers never ceased to amaze Ares as she could spend hours depicting how much they mean to her.Ares sighed walking further to the doorstep. As he got there he paused for a moment.Will they be happy to see him?When he had first gotten arrested, his parents visited twice a week, mostly his mum as his Dad was always cut up with work.But they stopped visiting after a few months of him being jailed. He had tried reaching out countless times yet to no avail till he eventually gave up.His cold knuckles slightly knocked on the wooden door patiently waiting for response.None came.He tried once again before he heard her light voice."Who's there?"It took some moments before the door slipped open, his mother coming into view.He didn't know how much he had missed her till he saw her. Ares remained mute for a second waiting for a reaction as she looked at him."Who is it?" She ran her hands in the air trying to reach out to the person."Ares?"

EPILOGUE
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,
Chapter 112
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
Chapter 110
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
Chapter 107
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
