ARES TO THE RESCUE.Ares. My patience was really running out as I wanted nothing more than to burst in there and carry my wife away from there. But my guards kept holding me back.My phone finally rang. It's about time. I said to myself.“Hello, who's this?”. I said, immediately I picked the call on the third ring.“Ares love, it's me, Amelia, your baby”. Amelia said over the phone. Anger immediately surged through me as soon as I heard her voice.“I've told you several times to stop calling me that and what do you want from me”. I replied impatiently. I wanted her to get to the point.“I'll just let that comment slide baby. Well I have that piece of trash you call a wife here with me and I can promise you she's not in a good condition”. Amelia responded and many things started running in my head.I hoped she wasn't hurt.“Hmmm”. Came my reply. It was all I could say to prevent me from bursting out.“Amelia, if you so much as touch a strand of hair on her head, you won't live to tell
OH HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED. Winnie.I didn't know what Ares meant until a few seconds later. I hoped it was what I was thinking, I really hoped so.“To your face? What do you mean by that? Don't joke with me Ares”. Amelia replied over the phone. She seemed a little bit scared and I smiled inwardly.“Ohhh Amelia, silly Amelia, I mean why don't you look up and tell me that to my fucking face!!”. Ares shouted and immediately ended the call.A few seconds later, a group of men burst into the room and Ares came in last. He looked at me and I could see pain in his eyes. The ladies were all surprised. They definitely were not expecting this. Who would have known Ares knew about their plan.He immediately took a gun from one of his guards and used it to shoot his secretary on her leg. I flinched at the sound of the gunshot and she let out a loud cry of pain as the gun fell out of her hand.I was glad a gun wasn't pointed at me anymore but I somehow felt for herAres's guards surrounded th
TAKING CARE OF HER.Ares.The doctor continued the rest of his job in silence and I was glad about that. When he was done, he packed his things and left.I couldn't bother seeing him off so the cook did that. When she was back, she prepared something for Winnifred to eat once she woke up.We both stayed on either side of her bed as we watched her, none of us willing to disrupt her sleep by waking her up.Few minutes later, the cook slept off and it was just me. I don't know when I also joined her to sleep.A certain movement woke me up and I discovered Winnifred was awake and was trying to sit up with difficulty.“You're awake. Don't stress yourself trying to sit up. How are you feeling? Do you still feel pain?” I asked her all at once. I was really concerned, I wanted her to get better soon.She smiled and I think it hurt because she winced in pain immediately she did and I wasn't happy about that.I didn't like seeing her in pain. I felt like taking away all her pain but that wasn't
HAD I KNOWN.Amelia.What have I gotten myself into? What exactly was I thinking? Did I forget it was Ares I wanted to mess with? How did he even find out? It was all going so well.How stupid was I to think that Ares would actually come back to me. He made it clear to me the day he ended things with me that he didn't care about me at all. I knew he didn't but hearing him say it was really hurtful. It pains me when I see Ares caring about that lowlife because he never did that when we were together.He was always treating me like I didn't matter to him. Like he was just using me to pass time and I really didn't care at the time because being his girlfriend was really helping my modeling career so why would I care if he cared for me or not.But as time passed by, it began to get to me. People started doubting if we were actually dating or not and I didn't know how to convince them we were together.The day Ares ended things officially with me was one of the worst days of my life. I ne
ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.Winnie. Ares kept staring at me after I was done eating and I didn't know why.“Are you sleepy?” He finally asked me.“Not really, I just woke up after all and I don't even know how long I slept. I don't feel like going back to bed again”. I replied. I couldn't possibly be sleepy after just waking up from sleep except my drugs contain sedatives which I wasn't sure of.“So, what should we do then?” He asked me.“I really don't know. I can't think of anything at the moment”. I replied.I was really happy that Ares actually wanted to talk to me. He wanted to have a conversation with me. I thought really hard on what we could talk about but nothing came to my mind.I decided to ask a random question. It's kind of been on my mind throughout today.“By the way, you didn't go to work today? Why?” I asked him.“How would I have gone to work when my wife was in danger. You were kidnapped, Winnifred, by those stupid people who thought they could mess with me and get away w
A VISIT TO THE PRISON. Winnie.I wasn't sure I heard right. She refused my offer? I want to be sure I heard properly.“Why is that, Rose?” I asked her.“As much as the offer is tempting, I don't think I'll be able to work under the same roof as you ma'am. The guilt will be too much for me to bear.I know I'm the reason you were kidnapped in the first place and I'm really happy nothing happened to you.I'm really sorry for my rude behavior that fateful day. I really wasn't thinking straight. I can promise you I'm a changed person but I really can't accept it. I'm sorry ma'am”. She replied, probably crying now. Because she kept on sniffing.“To be honest Rose, I'm really surprised. Many people would have jumped at this opportunity but look at you, refusing it. I'm not mad at you though. I'm just really surprised like I said.Alright, I won't force you to take the job but at least let me show my appreciation. I'm happy to hear that you are now a changed person. Please keep it up. Being
SHE CARES.Winnie.I woke up the next morning and mum wasn't by my side anymore but Ares was. He was staring at me and it startled me for a few seconds.“Jeez, how long have you been staring at me like that? You scared me, you know. Wait a minute, you haven't been like that for long, right?” I asked him all at once the moment I recovered myself.He let out a deep throaty chuckle and I really liked the sound of that.“Calm down. I haven't been staring for too long. Just a couple of minutes and I didn't mean to scare you. You look really innocent while you sleep and I couldn't help staring”. He replied.“Ohh, alright then”. I smiled as I couldn't meet his gaze anymore.“By the way, where's mum? She's no longer by my side”. I asked him again.“Ohhh yeah I almost forgot. She's downstairs in the kitchen preparing something for you to eat so you can take your drugs”. He said, sitting up.“Alright, I thought she had gone without telling me." I responded, sighing a sigh of relief.“Silly me,
IN PRISON.Rose.My sister looked really terrible. She had bruises all over her body and one of her eyes was purple and was half closed.She was limping and also had a bandage around her head. What could have happened to her? Did the police do this to her? Or was it Ares?When she came close to me and sat down, I picked up the telephone and she reluctantly did the same.“How are you doing? No, that's a stupid question to ask. From the way you're looking, you're obviously not doing fine. Who did this to you sis?” I asked her instead, waiting for her reply. She just held the telephone to her ear but she wasn't saying anything.She couldn't maintain eye contact with me and I don't know why. She kept looking at me through the glass that separated us but she never looked me in the eye.“Was it Ares?” I asked her again. Immediately I mentioned Ares's name, she looked up with force at me, I wondered if her neck didn't hurt from that action and she shivered. It was almost unnoticeable as I a
