She was wearing a knee-length dress that hugged her curves in all the right places. The dress was a vibrant shade of crimson, accentuating her radiant complexion. Her long, flowing hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of silk, adding an air of elegance to her already captivating presence.

As she walked further into the room, Ares stared in awe. He couldn't help but be mesmerized by her beauty, staring at her in complete awe.

Okay this was definitely going to be harder than he thought.

Last time he found a woman so captivating was his ex Camila.

Elna is a goddess.

"Dad, who is this?" She questions taking in more of Ares.

The way her nose cringed had Ares mentally facepalm himself.

Not her either.

"Elena my dear, come" Her father ushers.

She moved towards him. He guided her to the chair seating her down before he motioned with his eyes for Ares to sear as well.

"He's the person we talked about–"

She bolts up, "What!" Unbelievably.

There we go again, Ares thought to himself, he was all so tired of the scene beholding. First it was her mother and now her.

All rich people are so full of themselves. They think so highly of themselves and so little of the less fortunate.

How unfortunate.

"No Dad. You can't be serious" She said, her eyes already glistening with tears. "I can't get married, at least not to him."

"Elena–"

"No Dad. Just look at him, he looks like he barely has enough to manage his life then how on earth do you expect him and I to work out? "she reasons.

Each word of hers pierced through Ares' heart.

"Just listen to me!" Lucas cuts off urging her to burst into tears.

Lucas sighed pulling her Into a comforting hug, "No one said you have to work things out Elena. Consider this a business deal–"

She hurriedly pulled away, "Is that what I am to you Dad? Huh? For goodness sake I'm your daughter, how could you even think of doing this to me."

She then turns to Ares who stood stiff observing the father and daughter heated up conversation.

"And you!" She turns to Ares sending daggers his way.

How cute, he thought.

He moved uncomfortably, "Y-yes!" He stuttered giving in the reaction they wanted.

"Listen to me. You are nothing and will never be anything, to think you have a chance with me shows how absurd and hungry you are–"

His eyes burn into hers as he spoke or more like mumbled, "Mind what you say to me" he spoke letting his rage consume him.

Elena laughed wearily, "Or what? What are you going to do about it? Huh! You pathetic stupid excuse" she insults.

He shut his eyes for a sec sucking in his anger. He couldn't let her get to him.

Not when he's come this far.

She should count herself lucky she's cute, he would have shut off her rude lips.

"Or what?" She asked yet again, bringing him back to reality.

"Sorry" he feebly muttered.

She hissed, turning to her Dad, "Seriously Dad, is this what you want to have in our family, you want him as a son in law?" She says.

"We don't have a choice. That's what I'm trying to make you understand Elena. This would end before you know it." Lucas tries to reason.

"Please Dad, not him. I beg of you please, he's–" She broke down.

Ares finally decided to speak up, "I think I should leave now" he announced.

"No. I'm not done with you" Mr Kingsley says.

"Dad, please excuse us," Elena says, wiping off her tears.

"Elena" Lucas called.

She given him a nod, "I'll be fine"

He gave Ares a last glare before walking away. Ares had his eyes glued to Lucas' retiring figure, not taking his stare off not until he was out of view.

"Who are you and what do you want?" She asks, pulling off a daring look.

Yet again Ares found it cute, to which he chuckled.

"Ares Russor," he answered. "And what do I want?" He says stepping further causes Elena to inch back.

Till her back hit the wall. Ares placed a hand by the side leaning in, "You. I want you" he mumbled his breath fanning her face.

She hissed, pushing him off, "What are you doing? Get of me you creep"

He shakes his head.

"Can't you speak to whoever Dad has gotten involved with to cancel this?" Elena tried to reason.

"Look princess—"

She cut him off, "I'll pay you double of what he is paying you. You can have anything just call this off, tell him you can't do this, please"

The desperation in her voice was evident; you can tell she was on the verge of breaking down.

"I can't do that," Ares says, breathing down a heavy sigh.

"But why? Please! You can just come into my life and try ruining. I don't want you, you and I can never happen. We don't belong together and you know that. I'm way above your league and the sooner you understand that the better" She blurts with pure venom.

"Well then, I guess you don't have a choice at all." Ares says turning to leave.

A few steps ahead Elena's words halt his steps.

"Fine then. You'll regret this, I'll make you and by the time I'm done with you, you'll spend the rest of your fucked up life I'm regret." She says in-between sobs.

Ares clenched his fist digesting what she had just said, "Game on"

She laughed at one filled with soreness, "Now I see why DuPont did what they did to you asshole. You fucking deserve it, you hungry greedy son of a bitch"

Walking away is the only way out of this or he'd turn on his shoe and put her in her right place but he knew better than to do that.

So he did, walking off.

    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
