The Return of Ares The God of War

Feelings of Jealousy

Olivia's eyes widened and almost popped out of their sockets as she watched fancy cars drive up to them. A blank Bentley stopped close to Jayden and a beautiful golden-haired woman stepped out of it.

Olivia could not see what was going on as other strong-looking men came down from their car looking propped for battle.

Nova walked up to Jayden and bowed her head slightly. "These are the documents, sir. Everything has been prepared."

"Let me have a look." Jayden stepped closer to her, and they stood side by side, flipping through some pages.

Elsie could not help but to stare at them, a hint of jealousy stirring up inside of her. Nova was a very beautiful young woman, with eyes like a brand-new day and a stature like she was heavenly made.

Beautifully endowed with features that could make any man want to cheat on his wife or girlfriend. Her looks made other women feel insecure and, even though Elsie was just as beautiful, she felt insecure as well.

Not that she thought of herself as Jayden's wife, but she did not fancy seeing him with another woman. She sincerely cared about him.

She subconsciously pulled at the hem of her very short skirt and scratched her neck, feeling awkward. She did not stare at Jayden though, her eyes were on Nova.

Jealousy did not look good on her.

But then her eyes fell on Jayden, her knight in shining armour. If he hadn't popped out of the blue to save her, then she would have had to succumb to Justin Wick's wishes. His nasty wishes. But her secret--

Jayden's eyes raised from the papers and met with Elsie's. She immediately looked away from him, clearing her throat silently while still pulling down on her skirt.

He could not help but to think that she must be feeling uncomfortable in such small and transparent clothes. He would have given her his jacket even though it was his symbol of authority in front of his inferiors, but his sister was also there.

How would she feel if he gave the jacket to another woman? So he decided to keep it on and, instead of thinking of whom to give his jacket to, finish what was keeping him waiting there.

He nodded his head in confirmation of what Nova had said to him. "I trust you and your capabilities. I know there will be no mistakes."

Nova smiled softly, her dimples that were not noticeable before - crinkled in, making her more beautiful than she was. Thank you sir. All we have to do is to get her signature on the paper. Would you like me to do it? She might want to play dirty with you."

It was Jayden's turn to smile. "I doubt that. "Don't worry, I'll handle it myself." He turned to face his sister and Elsie. "Both of you should wait in the car with her," he pointed at Nova. Her name is Nova and she is my subordinate. She will take care of you. Don't worry."

Nova turned towards the young women she had been placed in charge of and greeted them with a very slight smile. "My name is Nova Benoit and I will take care of you. Please sit in the car." She pointed at the Bentley she had stepped down from.

Elsie smiled softly in response. Her inferiority complex had grown bigger. How could someone dressed in a military uniform be more attractive than she who had on a nettop and very short skirt?

At least that was how she felt.

She followed the given orders without question.

Jayden finally walked up to his soon-to-be ex-wife. He could not believe the things she had done to him. He hated how he still loved her.

The love was slowly transforming into anger, but it was still there. It would take a lot for it to grow into hatred. It wasn't there yet. Just plain anger.

He managed to keep his emotions concealed behind his unreadable eyes, a smile played on his reddish lips. "Here are the divorce papers, sign them, and we are done."

Olivia's gentle blue orbs stared at him in awe. She batted her long lashes, jaw hanging open in confusion. Only after a slight tap from Kelvin did she respond: "What is? Who are all these people? Military men and women, did they respond to your call?" Her thin brow arched upwards.

"That's for me to know. "Just sign the damn papers, and we are over." Jayden responded, trying to keep his calm.

"Is that supposed to be a threat?" Kelvin gloated. This is what we have always wanted, to get rid of the only obstacle in our path! "You are such a terrible loser, Jayden, and a pathetic one too!" he spat out. His lips took the shape of a crooked smile. "Sign the papers, my love," he said to Olivia.

Olivia was surprised that she was actually feeling hesitant to sign the papers. Why was she feeling hesitant to sign the divorce she had always wanted?

There was something inside of her, it wasn't love for sure, it was jealousy. He was doing all of this just to be with her wretched cousin, even though her cousin worked at a club and did dirty things with men.

How could he love a woman he did not even know so much? Yet he did not even pretend like he was hurt, that his own wife had used him for a devious plan and was cheating on him.

Instead, he had prepared the divorce papers himself and brought them to her to sign. Her pride was hurt, her feelings were insulted.

She stared into his eyes, which looked like their color had shifted, hoping to see a hint of what she could guess to be pain, what she could translate to be agony, yet she saw nothing.

It surprised her and angered her. Nothing at all as he stood there waiting for her to sign the papers.
