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 men would have taken turns on you and you would have likely turned up dead so, I believe what you wanted to say to me was, thank you.""Go to hell," Ava screamed and threw a pillow at him. If you really wanted to help me, you would have sent me to the hospital and not taken me to your house and spend the whole night taking advantage of me. You are nothing but a disgusting pervert."Ace dodged the pillow and rubbed his palms together excitedly, "ah, fiesty, I love that. I'm gonna enjoy having you for a long time. You keep calling me a disgusting pervert but I vividly recall how you begged for my d*ck last night. You are one ungrateful bitch, Ava.I did you a favor and gave you all that you asked of me last night and now, you are going to spend the rest of your life making it up to me."Ava suddenly realized that she never told him her name and asked, "how do you know my name and what do you mean by I need to make it up to you for the rest of my life?You are the one who needs to pay for assaulting me but you make me so sick that I can't bear to breathe the same air as you any longer, I want to be out of here. Where is my phone and where are my clothes? I really need to get out of here. Oh, Damon will not forgive me if he hears about this. I screwed up big time."The words Ace spoke earlier suddenly dawned on Ava and she gasped, "wait, did you say I was drugged? By whom and why? What happened to my best friend, Eve? OMG was she also drugged?"Ace leaned by the wall with a smirk on his face, "so many questions. I'll answer them all though coz you are adorable."Ava rolled her eyes at him as she was more interested in finding out who drugged her and where her best friend was.Ace began to speak casually while Ava stared at him in surprise, "Your name is Ava Stone, you are twenty years old and you talk too much. You lost your parents a few years back and became a party freak since then. You were able to attend college because your parents left behind a trust fund for you and you love taking risks.Those are just the basics, I can tell you more if you want but that is just to let you know that I know everything about you, including the things you don't know about yourself.You were drugged by someone close to you, whom you trust and as for your best friend, Eve, she is safe at home and probably celebrating your disappearance.""Hey, watch what you say about my best friend," Ava warned. You don't know the first thing about our relationship and what we have been through together.And I haven't disappeared, a lunatic took me home last night and forced himself on me. My boyfriend and best friend must be worried about me. Once I get back home, I'll tell them everything and their minds would be at rest."Ace observed Ava with a smile and shook his head, "well, you can believe what you want as long as it makes you happy."He turned to leave but she said hey, "I asked about my clothes and you haven't said anything."Ace briefly recalled how he had taken Ava from the club with just her top and g-string on her body. The moment he threw her on the bed, he tore the top into two and took off her g-string. After their steamy activities, he had thrown both her torn top and g-string out in the trash.He stared at her and said, "you left most of it at the club and the rest ended up in the trash."Ava took another pillow and threw it at him as she yelled, "how dare you throw out my clothes without my consent?"Ace saw the way she was heaving angrily as she knelt on the bed with one hand holding onto the quilt which covered her body.He shook his head and turned to leave but she said, "wait, hold on Mister, whatever your name is."Ace chuckled as the way she addressed him had suddenly changed from disgusting to Mister. He folded his arms and waited for her to speak.Her expression softened as she said, "I need some clothes. I can't leave here looking like this. After everything you have done to me, the least you can do is get some clothes for me at the nearest store so I can go home."Ace walked closer to the bed and said, "you still don't get it, do you? You are my girl now and you are not allowed to leave this place until I say so. Forget about everything else and understand that this is now your home.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
Ace stared at Ava in surprise as he wondered why she was smiling at him. He knew without a doubt that women were complicated but Ava seemed to be worse than average. He had observed the different expressions on her face while she was in deep thought until she finally wiped her eyes and smiled at him. What could she be up to?He couldn't deny though that she looked really beautiful when she smiled. Seeing her that way made him feel good and he could not stop wondering about what prompted her to smile.Perhaps he was thinking too much about it. Maybe she enjoyed the way he fucked her and now decided to accept her reality. It would be good for her if that was the case because it would make her life much more enjoyable as his girl.He slowly pulled her face away from his body and led her towards the bathroom as he felt like giving her a bath.He helped her get into the tub and took his sweet time bathing her. From Ace's observation, Ava seemed to enjoy being bathed by him. When he was do
Ava kept thinking about her escape until she drifted off to sleep. She woke up later in the day and sat on the bed, as she once more tried to figure out what to do.She heard Ace on the phone talking to someone. His voice was quite loud and she knew that eventually, he would come into the room. She recalled the plans he had made earlier and quickly stood in front of the mirror.She checked her face to make sure she was looking okay and after that, undid three of the top buttons from Ace's shirt which she wore.She still felt sore under her but she was determined to go through with her plans. She adjusted her big breasts, making it easy for Ace to easily notice it as it was completely visible on her body.She heard Ace's voice getting closer and ran into the bathroom. She stayed there until she heard Ace open the door. She came out of the bathroom right at that moment. When she saw Ace, she walked seductively towards him as he stood by the door, arms folded in surprise, and stared at
When the passion was spent, Ace kissed Ava lovingly and got off her body. He lay beside her for a while, staring at her as he thought about how they met. It was incredible that forty-eight hours ago he had no clue that he would end up having a soft spot for any woman, much less a young girl like Ava.Of course, he never planned to stay single forever. As a Black Scorpion Mafia Boss, he had a responsibility to produce the next leader of the Mafia Gang. That part of his life had long been decided for him and he was fine with it but the beautiful golden-haired girl lying beside him was definitely bound to change everything, she just didn't know it yet. It wasn't the right time anyway, so, he got up from the bed and left the room without saying a word to her. He came back a few minutes later with a glass of water and a pill in his hand. Ava easily recognized it as she was no stranger to the morning-after pill. She got up, accepted the pill from him gratefully, and put it in her mouth as
Ava realized that she wasn't going to make it and quickly returned the bunch of keys, pulled down Ace's brief, and took it off, before jumping back on the bed.Ace opened the door right and that moment while Ava struggled to control her breathing. She could not believe that she had been so close to getting her freedom. She realized though that she wouldn't have made it because she was yet to discover which of the keys opened the exit door of the house.Judging by how all the other rooms were locked, she knew that the exit door wouldn't be an exception. If the shower hadn't stopped running, she would have definitely made a run for it. At least now she knew that there was a possibility of her getting out of there. All she needed to do was be patient, watch and find the right time.Ace stared at Eva who was lying on the bed and smiled. Being someone who was always alert, he barely forgot things. He knew very well where he had kept his brief but he noticed that its position had been chang
After a while, Ava saw a car driving by. At first, she was so afraid as she thought it was Ace but it was just a simple old man who was apparently driving out of the estate.Ava quickly stopped the car and said, 'good morning sir, please can I get a ride out of the estate?" The man said, "of course, you can. Hop in and I'll drive you since I'm also going out of the estate. But why aren't you putting on any shoes?" Ava smiled, "actually, one of my shoes became bad so I just threw both of them away." The man nodded and said "okay."Ava noticed the man's phone charging in his car and said, "please sir, may I borrow your phone and make a phone call?"The old man replied, "of course, you can." and give her his phone. After thanking the man, Ava quickly typed Richard's number into the phone and called him.The moment Richard answered the call, Ava said, "Richard please help me."Richard instantly recognized her voice and was surprised, "what is it, Ava? Why are you sounding like that? Ar
Richard became completely unnerved when he heard Ava's voice. She told him that she had been kidnapped by someone dangerous called Ace after she went to the club but before he could find out who her kidnapper was she suddenly went silent. The fact that she was on the run from her kidnapper made him even more afraid. Could he have caught her? Did he harm her or was she still alive?He had never heard of a criminal called Ace and they were many people who went by that name. She never got the chance to tell him where she was being held. If she had at least told him where exactly she was running from, he would know where to start. He suddenly thought of something and decided that he was going to track the number she used in calling him and track her number as well. He, first of all, tried calling the number back but it wasn't reachable. He felt a tightness in his chest. Ava was someone he loved so much and he had been looking for a way to make up for all the times he wasn't there for her
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
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
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
