ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 18
Sarah's POVAll I remember seeing before hitting the sofa with my stomach, and spitting blood, was Ace’s red face. I thought I was seeing the devil, except it was my brother. The brother I'd cherished the rest of my childhood. The brother I helped with maths homeworks and defended at school when everyone bullied him. I never considered him a step brother, but just a brother in need of a big sister to give maternal love to when Lulu was busy having brunch everyday.And today this is how he repays me. I felt my eyes well up, and I let it all out. Within a few seconds my face was covered in water. I remembered Luis was here with me. In so much pain, I forced myself up and pivoted to where I was standing earlier. I grasped for air.It seemed as though Luis wanted to hit Ace’s face with a fist, but the latter was blocking it with his palm so effortlessly. Like in the movies.Luis must have pushed me when Ace wanted to hit me, and because of that I hit the sofa and got hurt. But I can't b

Luis' POVWithin less than a minute, the doctor came in running. “Mr Kingston?” He uttered as he paced up to us.Sharon retrieved her ID card and put it on his face, startling him.“Detective Sharon, FBI. This is my friend, attorney general Luis Kingston. We want Angel Jackie-Kingston discharged now, to assist in further investigations by the police. We have a discharge warrant with us,” she took out a folded paper from her pocket and presented it.The doctor ran his eyes through the paper and swallowed hard. “You know she's in a coma, right? Do you have a doctor organised to take care of her during your investigation? She's your client but she's my patient, and I have to make sure she's going to be alright,” he said, nodding, shifting his focus from Sharon to me. “Yes Doctor. We appreciate your concern for your patient. It shows nothing but diligence and your well-deserved trustworthiness. But we assure you, all is taken care of. It's all written in the paper you're holding.” Shar

Sarah's POV"Ma'am, we'll have to sedate you in order to safely retrieve the embryo." "It can't stay any longer or you'll be poisoned in this state," the doctor whispered, breaking my heart. My body began to heat up as my heart began to pound. I felt a lump on my throat. It was so painful.I was afraid I'd die from a broken heart. Garry, my husband, has been holding my hand since he came. The last time I saw him sob inconsolably was when we miscarried our twins two years ago. Sometimes I feel as if I wasn't meant to experience the joys of parenthood in this life. My mother and father arrived unexpectedly. They were the last people I anticipated seeing. Who told them, after all? Luis is definitely in trouble!"Sarah!" my mother mumbled as she reached for my hand. Her eyes had already welled up with tears. I despised her act at every turn. I snuffed and yanked my hand from of her grip. "Mother, what are you doing here?" She brushed away a tear on her face. "I'm really sorry, bab

Ace's POVWe landed safely at the airstrip.It was 5:05am. The clouds were heavily pregnant and it was apparent it’d rain heavily in a few minutes if not seconds.I put on my hat and my opaque sunglasses, and walked down the staircase, carrying my suitcase in my hand. The cool but strong breeze blew my black knee length coat ,dramatically. As soon as I stepped down, one guy in a black suit came running to help me with my not so heavy suitcase, and led the way to the cars. Marco was standing steadily beside three cars, his hands held together in front, waiting for me.He motioned for the charioteer to open the car door for me, before bowing his head to greet me.“Boss!” He mumbled, tilting to clear yhe way for me.“Marco, did you find the address?” I shot straight to the point, as I boarded the black G-Wagon. “Yes, Boss! It's a fifteen minutes drive from here.” Marco muttered as he sat beside me and reached out his hand to close the door before the charioteer could.He's always been

Ace’s POV“Hello father! I have exhumed the body, what should I do with it?” I enquired over the phone, watching my men bring the coffin my way, and my aunt-in-law running behind them, begging. “Son, I'm proud of you,” he took a puff. “Fly it over here, I want to see the dog’s lifeless body.”“Surely!” I took the order. Once my men dropped the coffin into the open car boot, I ordered them to open it. “Oh no! What kind of a person are you? You want to open the coffin housing a body that's been lifeless for weeks now?” She barked at my ear, irritating me. I sighed, then pushed her aside slowly.“I didn't get your name, Miss Fernando.” I said grinning.She came at my neck and grabbed my collar, shaking me, except I wasn't moving. “You are not going to move my brother's body an inch away from here! You hear me?!” She cried, her eyes darkening.“Watch me!” I declared, pushing her away from me. I motioned for my man to shut the boot as I sauntered to my seat. They pushed her inside a

Ace’s POVShaking, he muttered, "Don't do anything to my family!" "Or…I could shoot you in the balls right now," I said, pointing my revolver toward his pants and tilting the cock, terrifying him. "Then we'd both need a urologist to attend to us without taunting." "I will help you. Please don't point the gun at me. Don't do anything to my family." Dr. Titus yakked, his voice breaking.I approached him and gracefully placed the rifle on the desk.I let out an ample sigh and mumbled, "So tell me everything; from the prescription to treatment. Just everything."“I'll give you Viagra and Cialis and keep you under observation for a week to see if anything changes." He spoke with a heave.I nodded, lost in concentration, and folded my hands. "You know," I paused and turned to walk toward the sofa I had sat on before. As soon as I sat down, I continued: "If I needed pills, I would have gone to the pharmacy. I read all that stuff on Google, so I expect you to outsell it." My brows furrowe

Luis' POV“You? Did I forget something in the car?” I mumbled in inquisition to my guest. It was the cab driver that brought me from the airport to this apartment, and even helped me up with the bags.Slowly, he lowered his glasses.“No!” He said strongly.I frowned. “Then what are you doing here?” I inquired, utterly confused.“Move aside!” He roared, patronising in instruction.“What?! No! What business do you have coming inside?” I snapped back.“Luis Kingston, move aside so I can come in. A peaceful settlement or a violent one? Your choice!” “You sound just like my brother. Who are you? Did Ace send you?” I wondered, arching my eyebrows as I spoke. The guy was undoubtedly taller than me. My one hand held the partly opened door, while another held the door frame.“I said move aside so I can come in! Merde!” He hissed as he hit my chest vehemently with his palm, pushing me back on my heels.He sauntered in, and slowly shut the door behind him, then locked it. Once he was in, he

Luis' POVAfter spending the night on the chair, chained, I was woken up by a splash of water hitting my face. I coughed and growled, and blinked to fix my vision. Once I was relaxed again, I saw Ace standing like a pole in front of me.“Did you bother taking a look to your left?” He asked me. I frowned and tilted my head to my left. “Ah!” I gasped for breath after seeing Angel. She was back to life, but she looked weak.She glared at me too, forcing a smile on her face. “Angel,” I whispered under my breath. Tears were already forming in my eyes. I wanted to hold her!“Yeah,” she responded in the same manner, attempting to move, only to be reminded she was chained as well. Ace clapped twice and got our attention back to him. “It's your lucky day today. Just have a chat, talk about anything; secrets, feelings, kiss, I don't really care. All you have is…half an hour! Use it wisely!” He concluded and stormed off.His words still reverberated in my mind. I couldn't shake the curiosit

ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 51
Six Months Later Ace’s POV “Be careful!” Angel demanded in a moan. Her hands were wrapped around my shoulders traversing under my armpits as she breathed in hot air into my ear. Her legs formed a pointy fountain under the sheets running through my waist, wrapped tightly around my thighs, making my thrusting work closer and easier. “Relax, I won't hurt the baby.” I whispered a warm assurance into her ear while my fingers rubbed her head tenderly. After the holy work was done, I helped her get ready for our doctor’s appointment. Trust me when I say it wasn't the easiest work of all. She changed into ten different outfits, cried when clothes didn't fit and wailed about how ugly she felt. Every two minutes she asked me if I still found her sexy, or I would dump her for a skinnier girl who had no baby multiplying the fat in her body. I had to assure her that I just made steamy love to her. Not only that, but I held her and kissed her neck while she came. “You're sexier when
ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 50
Angel’s POVFollowing a great morning glory with my husband, he invited me to sit with him at breakfast. Dr Warner or whoever her name was, didn't seem to have that much of a problem. Although, there was one insect hovering over Ace throughout. I didn't get her name, and frankly I didn't even care. My mind was on something else. Once breakfast was done, Ace and I sat in the car. “Angel,” he cleared his throat and adjusted his posture. “I’ve been meaning to call Jeremy.”I frowned. “What?! Why?” He shook his head lightly, and tutted. “I really don't know. But I feel like he could be in need of a second chance too.” He glared at me, my cheeks became heavy with a blush. “I’m learning from you.” He added, his eyes anticipating a response from me. I shrugged my shoulders, my eyes not knowing where to land. “Okay! I mean…go for it!” “Yeah!” He whispered, before awkward silence reigned between us. “Say it!” “I can see there is something you want to say.” I advised, a smile hiding be
ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 49
Ace’s POV“Angel!” I whispered, my heart pounding. She burst into a loud cackle. “Oh My God! Your expression is killing me.” She clapped as she laughed at my face. “Hi babe!”I sighed heavily, my palm on my chest as though I was massaging my heart. “You scared me.” She arched her eyebrows. “Really? The George Brooks can get scared?” She scoffed, helping me up. “Are you sure you are okay? I can take you to the nearest hospital.”“Yeah! Remember I am staying at a clinic now.” I added, following her lead to the car. She buckled and we took off. “So tell me, since when do you run?” She posed, her arms stirring the steering wheel flawlessly. I watched in awe. “I wanted to ask you yesterday, since when do you drive?” She smiled. “You're not answering the question, George.” She added, her gaze avoiding mine. “Okay, fine. How do you think I built all these muscles? I'm very physically active on a normal day.” I clarified, my eyes not leaving her cheek. My mind and my heart were at wa
ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 48
Ace’s POVThe new dawn set, and my alarm went off. I reached out my hand to turn it off, and when all was silent, I lay on my back, my hands spread away from my body. It was only when I opened my eyes that it clicked to me that I was not home. I blew raspberries at the discomfort it brought me to be here, but then remembered my Angel would be coming to see me today. The anticipation was killing me. Quickly, I reached for my phone and sent her a sweet text, but she wasn't online. I waited for a little while hoping to get a blue tick, but in vain. Disappointed, I dragged myself out of bed and tiptoed to the bathroom, holding onto walls for dear life. “It's not even 7am yet, silly. She must be snoring.” I convinced my reflection in the mirror.After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I headed back and made my bed. Then, I changed into a grey workout outfit, grabbed a water bottle and headphones, and walked towards the door. Upon opening my door, I was startled by a female figure
ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 47
Ace’s POV I felt a hand touch my shoulder,and I was startled. My neck tilted around and my face came face to face with Miranda. She sucked her lips, creating a friendly expression, as she held out her tiny hands,doing a little wave at me. I could see the top of her head, examining every little detail of her messy bun. I forced a smile. “Hey, Miranda.” I spoke between my teeth. “Yeah, George.” She responded and went silent, her eyes glued to the corridor floor we were standing on. Bypassers stole sneaky glances at us one after the other, but I turned a blind eye. “Can I help you, Miranda?” I pondered, her silence getting to me. She sighed. “I was wondering if we could hang out?” “For the assignment? It wants us to get acquainted with one another.” She elucidated following my silent response to her wondering. “Oh, yeah sure. See you tomorrow, or whenever you want to hang out.” “I have a scheduled call with my wife, sorry I'm running after time.” I grumbled and turned my ba
ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 46
Ace’s POV I sat there, in a room full of drug addicts and people who twirled their fingers in anxiety. All their focus was on me. I guess I was more famous than I thought. For some fucking reason I kept thinking I was better than them. But a stubborn and straight-forward voice inside my head told me I was no different, why else would I be here? At least the chair was comfy. It was a very cushiony sofa modified into the shape of a palm, and I could sit comfortably on my back. A middle aged woman walked in, holding her hair into a neat, tight bun.“Hello guys!” She mumbled in a friendly tone. Voices groaned to greet her back, as she took a seat facing us. “I am Dr. Warner, and I'm here to help you all. Will you help me help you?” She wondered, forcing a smile. Everyone else nodded or groaned or forced a smile except for me. I just glared at the ceiling, rubbing my head and listening to everyone try to get into her good books. “Right? What's your name?” She asked me, but I wasn't p
ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 45
Ace’s POVI closed the door slowly behind me, and leaned my back against it. My luggage stood steady at my feet, as my eyes studied the room. White walls, white ceiling, the furniture, and even the bedding; everything was white. And why not? This was a trick I learned of back in high school, that white keeps the mind soothed. A heavy sigh left my lips, having absorbed the typicality of my new home. Had it been for me, I would have never even looked up a depression support clinic. But Angel was involved, she had insisted, and so I followed. I pushed my suitcase towards the bed and picked up it's weight onto the bed. A borborygmi-like sound followed as I undid the zip to start unpacking, as per one of the instructions I received at the reception. With all my clothes hung and folded properly in the wardrobe, I drew the curtains, letting some light into the room. My window looked over some of the buildings in the premises. In fact, the reflections of the corrugated roofing would be bl
ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 44
Angel’s POVAce seemed torn, caught between the darkness that enveloped him and my offer. His voice cracked as he spoke, "But what if I never get better? What if I'm stuck like this forever?"I drew a deep breath, my voice filled with determination. "Ace, I won't pretend to have all the answers, but what I do know is that there are professionals who specialize in helping people like you navigate through this darkness. They have the tools, the knowledge, and the experience to guide you towards a path of healing. We have to believe that there is hope, that there is a chance for you to find peace and happiness once again." I mumbled, rubbing circles on his back.Ace's eyes flickered with a mixture of doubt and longing. He seemed to be contemplating my words, grappling with his own self-worth and the possibility of a better tomorrow. "Please, Ace, trust me when I say that you're not alone in this.” I heaved. “Angel, I…” He attempted, but I interrupted him.“Uh uh!” An expression left m
ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 43
Sarah’s POVI lounged on the beach, soaking up the sun and admiring the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean. It was a much-needed break from my usual routine, helping me cope well with my recent miscarriage. I harboured hate for my brother at this point. Had it not been for him, I would have probably still been pregnant. Suddenly, my phone rang. I sighed, briefly tempted to ignore it. Garry had warned me not to take any calls so I could give this outing my full attention, but ultimately, I decided to answer. It was my sister-in-law."Hey, Angel," I said. "What's up?""It's Jeremy," Angel said, her voice lower than usual. "He wants to exhume Ace's parents' bodies."I sat up, suddenly alert. "What? Why?""I don't know," Angel admitted. "He and Ace are at loggerheads." She concluded with a sigh.I sighed. “And they both aren't normal people. Why am I not surprised?”She chuckled from the other end of the line. “I can't imagine how you must've dealt with all that your entire life.”
