Ava overheard Richard and Damon's conversation because Damon turned on his loudspeaker. She felt moved to tears. It was hard to believe that they were working together to set her free from Scorpion's grip. She felt quite fortunate. She was someone who didn't have any family yet both Richard and Damon were going all out for her. She didn't know what she did to deserve so much love from both of them. If they were not in her life, she would have ended up as Scorpion's prisoner for the rest of her life but thanks to the two of them, she could now live the life she had always dreamed of by Damon's side.She knew that what they were doing was risky but at this point, all she could think of was the love she held in her heart for the man in front of her. She held him so tightly and laid her head on his back. Damon turned and stared at her, he caressed her face briefly before planting a kiss on her lips.Ava felt a rush of emotions, this was the love of her life, the man she wanted to spend th
Ace smiled, "don't worry about it Sam, I have them right where I want them."After speaking to Ace, the officer directed the other officers who had no idea about what he was doing to another route, leaving Damon and Ava to their fate.Damon kept driving and became very happy when he realized they were two minutes away from the hangar. "Do not worry, my love," he said to Ava as he curved into another road. "We are just two minutes away from your freedom." The words had barely left his mouth when they heard different sounds of gunshots. Ava screamed in fear and held more tightly to Damon who opened his eyes in surprise when he realized that more than forty underlings of Scorpion were in front of him.Their cars and bikes were used to block the road and they all pointed their guns at him. He searched through their faces but there was no sign of Ace. His bike stopped moving but its engine was still steaming.He knew that if the officers did not arrive at this point, he was not going to ma
Ace stared at Ava as she cried and begged, "please, let Damon go. You can kill me if you want, I am the one who betrayed you and not him. Please, Ace, I will do whatever you want. Please just spare his life."Ace shifted his gaze to Damon, "I warned you didn't I? The punishment for attempting to take what is mine is death. You've really got some nerves, Damon, coming into my territory and trying to outsmart me. You should have moved on with your life when you had the chance. I left you alive for far too long and it made you feel invincible. Well, it's time to face reality."Ace cocked his gun, ready to shoot at Damon. Richard also cocked his gun from where he hid but he was afraid to pull the trigger because of Ava. He didn't know if Ace was going to kill her and he was afraid that if he pulled the trigger, she might end up getting killed because of his actions.Damon stared at Ace with so much hatred and anger, "Ava is mine and we were about to get married before you forced yourself
As they drove back, Ava broke down and wept while Ace stared at her. He could not understand why she was crying. She had no idea how merciful he had been today for her sake. He had done things he never thought possible. Letting someone like Damon insult him and get away with it but Ava apparently did not appreciate him. She did not even bother to thank him but was crying. What the fuck was she crying for now?Despite feeling upset by Ava's behavior, Ace pulled her closer to his body and hugged her. Ava was overwhelmed with so many emotions. From seeing her Damon once again to almost getting her freedom and almost watching Damon die in front of her, and finally ending back where she started, as Ace's prisoner. She did not know how to feel anymore.She felt Ace's hand around her body and felt upset. He had referred to her as a whore and how could he tell Damon about the sex they had? It wasn't like she choose to be with him but he made her look like a tramp in front of Damon who meant s
Ace stared at Ava as she slept with her arms wrapped around his body. He knew that there was a storm brewing and he was afraid of anything bad happening to her. He knew that it was best if he sent her away but what about him? How was he supposed to live without her in his life?During the past few days, he had deliberately ignored her. He was aware that he had become too attached to her and could not stay without speaking to her so he tried to force himself to do so. He began staying in a separate bedroom, tried to pretend that she did not exist and barely spoke to her or even spend time with her. He engaged himself in other activities and some of his underlings even thought that he and grown tired of her, of course, none of them dared to ask him but he overheard their conversations and pretended not to have heard. Only he knew how difficult it was for him to stay away from her. He noticed it wasn't the same for her and it didn't surprise him, she did not love him so his absence in h
Ace stared at Black Axe as he took a drag of his cigarette. He wasn't surprised though. Yes, he had expected that his underlings would be surprised by his decision to let Damon go and they would all think he had changed or grown softer but that did not matter to him. What mattered was that Ava was by his side and she was not bawling her eyes out. He threw the cigarette on the floor and took out another one from its pack as he said, "Black Axe, since when do I care about what people think of me? Of course, they are entitled to their opinions as always. You of all people should know that if I cared so much about other people's thoughts, then I wouldn't be where I am today. I am Black Scorpion and I owe no one any explanation when it comes to what I do in my private life. Those friends of Ava, both Damon and the officer, I kept them alive for reasons best known to me which is no one else's business but mine."Black Axe bowed before him and apologized, "I'm sorry, boss if I overstepped
Romeo nodded and said, "different things work for different girls so I'll just mention all that I know. If you want to make a girl fall in love with you, the first thing you need to do is give her money, lots of it. You should be ready to apologize even if you haven't done anything wrong. You need to say loving words to her all the time and give her compliments. Don't forget to tell her that she's the most beautiful girl you have ever seen.Serve her breakfast in bed and send her loving texts. Take her out shopping at the mall, go on dates, take her to the movies, and to other places she might love. It is also important to spoil her with expensive gifts, buy flowers for her, give her romantic surprises, ask her what she wants, listen quietly when she speaks and fuck her real good. There is no way you will do all these and a girl will not love you."Ace stared at Romeo in shock, "are you making these things up?" "That's impossible, Scorpion," Romeo replied. "I wouldn't dare to do such
Gina crossed her leg and listened as her spy filled her in over the phone. She was shocked to hear about the extent Scorpion was going to just for a girl he did not have a future with.She found it disturbing that this girl already had someone she loved yet Scorpion refused to let her go and was trying to force her to love him. He had said that she should not interfere in his life until they got married but if she turned a blind eye to what was going on there may be no wedding.She didn't believe that Scorpion will go back on his word and allow the gangs to go to war because of a little girl, she also could not imagine not getting married to Scorpion. He was the only absolute love of her life and she had kept herself for him all her life. If this so-called Ava was going to be a problem, then she was going to have to put a bullet through her. She had just come back to Bangkok after so many years. Coincidentally, she met Scorpion's dad, Felix when she came down from her jet. Due to the
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
