Valerie woke up in the morning and looked at the time. Today was the day she had been waiting for—the day the result of her interview would arrive. She got up and met her elder brother, Julius, who was in the living room."Good morning, Julius," she greeted him."Morning, darling," he replied.She sat on the couch sadly. "What is the problem?" he asked."Well, the result will be coming in today. I'm just so anxious and afraid," Valerie explained."Why? Come on, you graduated as one of the best in your college. Besides, you aced your interview," Julius reassured her."That's what they said," Valerie replied, "but I heard that people who get jobs in that hospital are highly connected. Although it has always been my dream to work at 'Best Diagnostics', I'm afraid it's not just about qualifications and skills."Julius comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, listen to me, my dear sister. Just do your best and everything will work out in your favor.""I hope so," Valerie replied. "It should arr
When the quarterly gang meeting ended, Ace took hold of Ava's hand and left the venue.His father had already returned to the Black Scorpions mansion and was waiting for him. With Black Axe as their driver, Ava and Ace got into the car and went to the mansion.As they made their way into the house, all the gang members came out and bowed before Ace. He looked at them one after the other and saw those who were responsible for the fights within the gang. The expressions on their faces already showed that they were guilty as they carried nothing but fear.Ace nodded at them all and whispered a few words into the ears of Black Axe who was by his side before leading Ava into the mansion.His father was waiting for him in his private room and Ace headed right there with Ava in his hand.When he got to the door, the gang member who was guarding it bowed and said, "I'm sorry Scorpion but she's not allowed to enter.""It's fine. I'll just wait for you outside." Ava said but Ace wasn't having it
Ava and Eve clinked their glasses and squealed in excitement before downing their drinks in one go.Their loud noises attracted the attention of the people around them at the club. All kinds could be found there, thugs, criminals, whores, and so on.Both twenty-one, they had made a pact with each other that after their final exams, they will both take the risk of partying at The Fantasy Club which was rumored to be dangerous.Ava's phone soon began to ring. She took it out of her pocket and when she saw the caller, said, "shoot, it's Damon. If he knows I'm at The Fantasy Club, he will go bananas."She handed her glass which she had just refilled to Evelyn, "look after this for me, I'll just go out and take this call. You know how jealous Damon can be."Eve accepted the glass of beer and nodded while Ava hurried out of the club to take her boyfriend's call. When she got to the exit door, however, she paused. She realized that Damon would want to find out where she was and if she lied
Ace had never been one to show interest in women. He barely gave them the time of day as he grew up believing that women were betrayers and gold diggers. He was someone who didn't believe in giving people second chances and the idea of killing women did not appeal to him so he avoided them like a plague, of course, there were exceptions for those who tried to harm him but he generally saw women as unnecessarily evil.However, as he stood, watching Ava from the top of the stairs, he was reminded of his college days when he fucked any woman that caught his attention until the one he trusted, betrayed him.That was more than ten years ago and he had since buried any desire or cravings he ever had for women. Somehow, the young girl dancing in front of him had ignited those desires. He suddenly wanted to have her under him, screaming out his name.He could tell that she wasn't a stripper or a whore, they were always easily noticeable due to their heavy makeup but this girl was different.
Ace pulled Ava up after a few minutes and said, "if you don't stop, for now, we won't be able to get home, so just hold it to enable me to drive."Ava went back to stroking his length while Ace drove off at full speed. His men followed behind him and Ace noticed that despite being kept busy, Ava was still squirming.He wanted to know more about her, why she was at the club, and who spiked her drink. Considering his position that was just a piece of cake, however, there were more pressing things for him to do and they all ended with Ava being under him.He occasionally slowed down to catch his breath. He was breathing fast as Ava was stroking his length, it felt so good.He finally drove into his estate and heaved a sigh of relief. They had both made it in one piece. The moment he parked his car, he zipped up his pants, quickly helped her wear her top once again, and opened the door.He turned to the other side of the car, pulled her out, and carried her over his shoulders as he ran in
Ace walked closer to the bed and asked, "why did you hide under the quilt? I loved you more when you were naked. You women are such complicated creatures. I practically saved you last night and this is what I get?"Ava sat up with the quilt covering her body, "how the hell did you save me, pervert? You took advantage of an innocent girl in her inebriated state and you call that saving me?"Ace chuckled, "you, innocent? Not with the way you fucked me last night."Ava's face turned red as she recalled how she had thrown herself at Ace but he must have known that she wasn't in her right mind, so what was he proud about?Ace observed her expression as it changed from anger to embarrassment and back to anger. He shook his head, "listen, Ava, you weren't just drunk last night, someone drugged your drink and that's how you became out of control.You were stripping and begging all the men around to fuck you. What exactly do you think would have happened if I hadn't taken you away? So many me
Ava stared at Ace for a while before realizing the meaning of what he had just said.After speaking, Ace turned to leave, however, Ava looked around for whatever weapon she could find but the only thing that caught her attention was the small aquarium beside the bed with an orange-colored fish inside it.Without thinking twice, she got off the bed and lifted the aquarium. Ace heard her coming and turned to see what she was up to but before he could react, she struck the aquarium on one side of his head, causing the glass to break, the water to pour out and the little fish to struggle for life on the floor.Ace held his head as he staggered and his vision became blurry, meanwhile, Ava quickly wrapped the quilt around her body. It was quite heavy but she was convinced that once she got out to the road and asked for help, someone would come to her aid.She pushed the staggering Ace towards the bed and made a run for the door. However, when she tried to open it, she realized that it was lo
When Ava heard Ace say that he is the infamous Black Scorpion, she became more afraid. His name was a terror to many and she was no exception. Her ex-boyfriend once told her that he was an enemy of the police yet they could not touch him. Most of them were afraid of him and most of the top men in the country were on his payroll.He was rumored to be ruthless and could kill for something as little as making eye contact with him. Realizing that he was the Mafia boss she had wished never to meet in her life from the moment she heard about him, made Ava's hands to start shaking.What had she gotten herself into? If she knew of his identity earlier, she wouldn't have even dared to argue with him or attack him. She was extremely terrified of the punishment he wanted to mete out to her and she could not stop thinking that despite all that he said, Scorpion would definitely kill her when he was done playing with her.Ace saw the way Ava was shivering and crying and he smiled. He actually foun

TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS LATERAndre drove over to Sky Hills with his best friend and most trusted underling. They sat in his car, waiting. After a while, he looked at his time and then his best friend, Drew, and asked, "Are you certain that Bull will be here?""Of course, I would never lie to you," Drew replied. "He has bitten off more than he can chew, and this is the best opportunity. He should know that he doesn't stand a chance against the leader of the Black Scorpions. He is nothing before you."Andre nodded. "Yeah, today is the day he gets to say goodbye to this world. But what about backup?""They were waiting at the agreed location but they will be arriving very soon."While Andre and Drew were still waiting in the car, Andre noticed other men arriving in different cars with the Black Scorpion logo on their number plates. He smiled, "Good, backup is here." The words had barely left his mouth when they all began to shoot at his car."What is going on?" he exclaimed, looking at Dre
Ace smiled at Ava, "Hello, princess."She ran to the bed and hugged him as she cried."It's okay," he said. "I'm sorry, baby." Black Axe opened the door and walked in at that point. Ace looked at him with eyes that said, "I asked you not to do this, so why did you do it?" Black Axe smiled, "I'm sorry, boss. I know you wanted to protect Ava, but I had to do this for both of you. I couldn't see her being so miserable, and I also need you to get well as soon as possible. I know that having Ava here will achieve that. Please forgive me. I will take whatever punishment you give." Ace smiled. "As if.....I guess you know me better than I know myself, and you know what's best for me. Thank you, Black Axe. Thank you very much."Black Axe nodded and turned to leave, but Ava got up and said, "Hold on Black Axe. Thank you so much. I wish there was a way I can repay you for everything." "Just make Ace happy, that's all I ask." After Black Axe left, Ava went back to the bed and hugged Ace, "Oh
ONE WEEK LATER Ace opened his eyes and surveyed the room he was lying in. It was a hotel room, and he immediately recognized it as his own private hotel that was not open to the public. Only Black Axe knew about this place, so the fact that he was here meant that Black Axe had brought him here. He recollected what had transpired—he was shot but he fell into the water. Just before he lost consciousness, Black Axe pulled him out and took him away. He recalled that Gina and her men had been pursuing Ava. Ignoring his pain, he sat upright and began to sweat profusely, "Ava, what must have happened to Ava?"At that moment, Black Axe entered the room and happily said, "Boss, you have opened your eyes." "What about Ava?" Ace desperately inquired. "She survived," Black Axe replied. A sigh of relief escaped Ace's lips. "Thank you, thank you so much, Axe." He laid back on the bed and asked, "What happened? How did she survive?""Well, her police officer friend, Richard, came to her rescu
Ace led Ava into the house and they both settled in. Ava noticed that Ace had already stocked both the kitchen and refrigerator with all the necessary items. "So smart and thoughtful," she said to herself.Ace insisted on cooking for the both of them despite Ava's disapproval. She wanted to do the cooking because Ace had already done so much throughout the day but in the end, she couldn't win against him.Ace wanted to make the day amazing for her and it included making lunch for her. He had decorated one of the rooms with inscriptions on the walls because he wanted to ask Ava to marry him. He locked the door though because he did not want Ava to figure out the surprise he had for her. When he insisted on cooking alone, Ava let him have his way and went outside the house.She stood at the top and stared at the water below. It was so beautiful that she could not resist taking a few pictures with her new phone. After taking some pictures, she began to make a video. An idea suddenly oc
Ava pulled Ace's face closer and kissed him. Ace kissed her back and in no time, they were both naked, while his fingers played with the folds in between her legs. When he got a feel of her juice, he entered into her and their bodies became one as they swore their undying love for each other.Gina sat inside her bedroom thinking about her wedding to Ace which would happen in four days. At least, something good came out of her injuries.She knew for a fact that Ace would not allow the war to take place so his only choice would be to marry her. If he insisted on keeping Ava by his side after their marriage, she will turn a blind eye to it until after giving birth to a child for him.She would use the child and force Ace to give up Ava. After that, she would have her revenge, and no matter how upset he would get if he found out the truth, Ace wouldn't be able to cause any harm to the mother of his child.While Gina was still daydreaming, her father received a call from Ace's dad. He was
The next morning, both Ace and Ava left his guest house in the company of his underlings. Ace told them to go ahead of him because wanted to do something first. They parted ways and his underlings went to the Black Scorpions' Mansion but Black Axe secretly followed Ace."Why aren't we going to the Black Scorpions' mansion?" Ava asked Ace when they were alone."I need to ensure your safety first," Ace replied. "For now, I will drop you off at my safe house. I don't want your life to be unnecessarily put in danger." Ava nodded her head, "Okay, Ace."Ace parked his car by the roadside and Black Axe noticed him and Ava come out of the car and head into the supermarket. He recalled that night when they had searched for Ace around there and became convinced that Ace had a personal hideout. He decided to give him his privacy and waited for him on the other side of the road.Ace typed in the password and opened the door, after which he let Ava in. Once they were inside, he changed into a ne
After making sure that Gina had been thrown out, Ace went to Ava and lifted her off the ground.His underlings watched in silence as he took her into the house. They knew that what had just happened would bring about unfavorable consequences.The gang member who had given away Ace's location felt deep regret and worried that Ace would be very interested in knowing how Gina came to know about his whereabouts.However, how Gina came to be in his guest house was the last thing on Ace's mind. He laid Ava on the bed and placed his hand on her stomach, "Does it still hurt? Are you feeling pain in any other part of your body?"Tears fell from Ava's eyes as she replied, "I was in pain but I'm much better now and I am very worried about you. With what just happened, I fear that your life will be in danger."Ace wiped Ava's tears, "I am very sorry, princess. I've said that I would protect you but today you got hurt right in front of me. I never should have turned my back on Gina. I was struggli
