The Return of Ares The God of War

Supreme General Himself

Elsie gasped and cupped her red face in her palm. Fear gripped her by the throat and caused her stomach to knot complicatedly.

She knew him very well and also knew the things he was capable of. Justin Wick was a selfish and greedy monster who married into the Bassett family for their wealth.

He cared less about his wife and hated it when people brought her up. To him, she was just his ticket to wealth.

He had always had his eyes on Elsie ever since the day he saw her at a family gathering, but when he made a move towards her, she embarrassed him and warned him to stay away from her and never dare to cross paths with her again.

He had no choice but to oblige then, because she was the heiress to the family wealth, and she had incomparable power. But now, she was no more than kicked out of the family for sleeping with her cousin's husband.

She had no power or wealth against him, and he could do as he pleased with her since she had been kicked out. No one would ask him to have an affair with a stranger since she had become one of their family.

She swallowed hard, trying to keep herself from bursting into tears. Would he finally get his way with her today?

His large hands cupped her chin and pulled her forward. "If you know you don't want to regret every single decision you've made in your life for the rest of your ragged moments on earth, then you'd better do as I told you. Plus..."

He smirked as he stepped closer to her and whispered, "I know your weakness. That secret you have been hiding from the entire family. How would you feel if I showed them just how shameless you are?"

Elsie began to pant heavily in fear as Justin Wick smiled grimly at her. If the world were to know her secret, she would be ruined more than she already was and it would ruin her forever.

She couldn't let her secret be known, she had already been ashamed enough for sleeping with a married man who was married to her cousin for that matter.

"So beautiful," Justin said as he released his hold of her chin and fell back into his seat. "What's it going to be? The decision is right in your hands, baby girl." He smirked shamelessly.

Tears trailed down Elsie's face where she stood, her hands clenched in a fist of rage as her eyes fell shut.

Her feet moved against her will towards Justin, who was smiling grimly. His arms were wide open so he could envelop her in a hug the moment she sat on his lap.

As slow as her steps were, she was already close to him and the laughter of the other shameless men in the room made her curse in her mind.

How could they all cheer on such a shameful act?

As she was about to sit on his lap, a hand gripped her by the wrist and pulled her away from Justin.

Her face landed on the firm chest of a man. The scent of a strong cologne filled her nose and she felt a firm hand grip her by the waist.

Her eyes opened slowly, and she looked at the man that was holding her.

He stared into her beautiful eyes with a mix of emotions, "I'm so sorry for coming late, but I'm here now, and I won't leave you."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked into Jayden's eyes. Her head fell on his chest and she sobbed quietly.

How many years had it been since she saw him last? She had actually believed he was dead!

"I thought... I thought you were dead, I was so scared and I..." She couldn't stop sobbing as she spoke.

"It's alright." Jayden said softly. His heartfelt heavy. The woman he had spent the night with was also suffering from something she knew nothing about.

"What the hell is this?!" Justin demanded grumpily. "Who is this fool who comes in here to spoil the mood like this?!"

Several men pushed through the door just then along with the manager of the hotel. "That's him! That's the man who beat up part of the security team because they refused to let him in."

The manager was a man of average height. He felt intimidated as he stepped closer to Jayden's towering figure. Clearing his throat, he moved back and placed his hands on his hips. "Don't you know this is a restricted area? police aren't allowed in here you fool! Get out now while I'm being nice."

Justin suddenly rose to his feet. "Oh... It's you! The useless son-in-law of the Bassett family!"

Murmurs filled the room at once.

"Oh the one who had an affair with his wife's cousin!"

"How dare a useless son-in-law show his face here?"

"What a shameless man!"

Jayden didn't even act like he heard anything they had been saying. He had his eyes only on the woman he held close to his chest and he also held his sister close to his side.

"What is this?" Justin questioned with a sly grin. "Judging from how you're holding her... You must have come for a second round. She must be that good in bed to have you come back."

The others roared a laugh.

Elsie wiped her face. "You have to leave right now, it's not safe for you here. They'll kill you and feast on your body!" She warned him.

Jayden was like a statue, he didn't even move when she tried to push him out of the room.

"Listen to her, pretty boy." Justin said. "He has your eyes." He broke out into laughter.

Jayden squinted. What was he talking about?

"Leave now if you want to live. If you want your family to live! If you refuse to do as I command, I will--"

Justin flew across the room as a strong kick landed on his gut. He groaned, spitting out blood as he crashed into a shelf of expensive wines.

The rest of the men in the room chorused a gasp, everything had happened too swiftly, it almost seemed like it didn't happen at all!

If Justin's body was lying on the other side of the room, they would have believed they imagined it had happened.

Jayden's voice was soft and gentle yet the room carried it. "I'm the one who gives the command here." His tone was

cold.

How dare that useless man try to give orders to the supreme general himself!
