Ace chapter 125
Grey stood outside the cell where Evelyn was being held, watching her through the small window. The bruises and cuts on her face were evidence of the fight she had put up, but there was no sympathy in his eyes. She had brought this on herself, and Grey had no more business here. His part was done—he had helped Ace capture her, and now it was time for him to leave.He pushed the door open and stepped inside, the cold air of the cell greeting him as the heavy metal door closed behind him. Evelyn was slumped in the corner, her arms wrapped around her knees, her hair hanging loosely over her face. She didn't look up as Grey entered, but he could sense that she was fully aware of his presence.A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips as he sat down in the lone chair facing her. "Oh, poor Evelyn," he said mockingly, his voice filled with dark amusement. "I must say, it's been quite a ride, hasn't it?"Evelyn remained silent, her head tilted slightly, but she didn’t look at him. Grey didn’t
Ace chapter 126
Ace leaned against the doorframe of the small bedroom where Lisa lay resting. The soft glow of the bedside lamp illuminated her peaceful face, a stark contrast to the chaos that had unfolded just hours ago. He couldn’t stop thinking about Richard’s lifeless body and how close his wife had come to harm. His mind was a whirlwind of conflicting thoughts, and the only thing keeping him grounded was the sight of Lisa, safe and sound in their bed."Stay here," he whispered softly, brushing a loose strand of hair from her forehead. Lisa stirred but didn’t wake, her exhaustion finally catching up with her after everything that had happened. He pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead, then turned to leave the room, closing the door quietly behind him.Ace’s expression hardened as he walked down the hallway toward the warehouse's lower levels, where Evelyn was being held. His men had taken care of Richard’s body, as per his orders, disposing of it far away from their hideout. Now, there was one
Ace chapter 127
A year had passed since the chaos, and now, the air in their new home was filled with a sense of peace that neither Ace nor Lisa had ever known. They were far away from the world they used to know, the one that had been filled with danger, betrayal, and uncertainty. It was a small, quiet life now, one where the past didn’t matter, only the future they were building together.Lisa cradled their baby girl in her arms, smiling down at the tiny face that had completely changed her world. Their daughter, with her soft dark hair and delicate features, was the perfect blend of both of them. A reminder of the love and strength that had carried them through everything.Walking down the hallway of their cozy little house, Lisa could hear the faint sound of the ocean waves crashing against the shore in the distance. It was serene, soothing in a way that felt like a lullaby to her soul. She made her way to the room where Ace was sitting, his back facing the door as he gazed out the large windo

Lisa POV:I have amazing news for you." Lisa heard her boss Doctor Kingston say.I raised my eyebrow waiting for him to continue what he wanted to say."You have been assigned to work for a very special man Lisa." My boss continued the smile not leaving his lips."Uhm who are we talking about please and why me?" I asked quietly looking at him."Well, you have won best nurse of the year, and This man needs a special nurse, we think you best nurse for that job." My boss said."But I was never told about this," I said confusedly."Come on Lisa, I'm telling you now right, would you like the offer or not?" My boss asked a frown on his lips."Of course, I would be honored to take on this assignment, Doctor Kingston," Lisa replied. "But I'm still confused. Who is this special patient, and why do they need a nurse like me?""I'm glad you're willing to accept the challenge," my boss said, a smile reappearing on his face. "I can't share too much information about the patient with you, but I ca

Lisa's POV:The next morning, I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing loudly. Groaning, I rolled to the other side of my bed, my hand falling to the side as I tried picking up my phone from the desk. Another groan left my lips out of anger.I was never a morning person, even though I am a nurse; it's always hard to wake up early. As I grumbled my way out of bed, I noticed the bright sun shining through my curtains, signaling that it was already late morning. I looked at the time on my phone and realized I had slept through my alarm and was now running late for my flight. Great start to the day.Shaking my head, I walked toward my bathroom to get ready. Making sure to shave and clean my hair, I looked at myself in the mirror. "You can do this, Lisa; it's just one patient," I whispered to myself. "Yeah, you can do this," I said, giving myself a pat on the shoulders.With that, I walked out of my bathroom, heading toward my closet. I looked around before grabbing my hoodie and grey jo
Ace Chapter 3
Lisa POV:"So like I said, this is my brother Ace," Evelyn said looking at her brother."How long has he been in a coma?" I asked softly."2 weeks now." She said looking at him and then at me."Have any doctors given anything to him?" I asked again.His body looked completely fine, so why the long coma?"Yes, I don't know their names," Evelyn said with a chuckle, then passed the bottles to me."Uhm what kind of accident did he have?" I found myself asking, looking down at my patient."It was a car accident," Evelyn said, her voice growing quiet. "He was driving when another car ran a red light and hit his car." She paused, clearly struggling to speak about the details. "The doctors say he may never wake up, but I just know he will. My brother is a fighter. I have to believe that." I could hear the emotion in her voice, and I felt a wave of compassion for her. I knew how hard it must be for her to see her brother like this.I placed my hand on her shoulder, hoping to provide some comf

Lisa POV:I woke up to a maid screaming then people's footsteps rushing around.My eyebrows frown slightly before shaking my head.Rolling off my bed, I walked toward my door.I looked around the hall, wondering what was happening.Then I slowly walked towards Ace's room.There I saw Evelyn standing and some maids."How are you awake?" She whispered looking at her brother.My eyebrows frown slightly, isn't she happy that her brother is awake?"Uhm Evenly," I said quietly walking into the room.Everyone snapped their head toward me.Making me feel small."Yes, uhm everyone out, please," Evelyn said softly before looking back at her brother."Ace, this is Nurse Lisa, she's the one taking care of you." She said softly her eyes not leaving her brother.It's like she couldn't believe he was alive.Didn't she want him alive?"Hello," I said quietly looking up.Green eyes stared back at me, watching me like I was in a movie.The room was dead quiet, Ace didn't say anything to me."Out." He s

Lisa POV:When I got downstairs to the kitchen.I looked around hoping to see Evelyn but had no idea where to look.Shaking my head, I walked toward the first maid, I saw before tapping her shoulders."Hey, uhm Ace asked for breakfast," I said softly."I'll have that fix up, did he ask for anything in particular?" She asked while I shook my head before sitting on the chair."Where is Evelyn please?" I asked while looking."Upstairs in her room." She mumbled smiling at me.I gave her a smile in return before walking toward the stairs."Oh, and Nurse Lisa, thank you, for helping Ace." She whispered.I looked back at her, shocked at her words."Just doing my job," I said quietly walking away.The smile never left my lips.When I arrived, I saw a door open slightly.Walking closer to it, I tried listening for a sound.Then I heard someone whispering."I'm telling you, I give him that same injection, I have no idea how his awake." The person whispered.My eyes wide out when I recognize th

Ace chapter 124
Lisa lay peacefully in bed, the soft warmth of the blankets cocooning her, her body relaxed as sleep slowly pulled her under. She was vaguely aware of the gentle ticking of the clock on the wall and the quiet hum of the house, sounds that had become comforting in this strange new place Ace had brought her to.But then, something shifted. A sound, almost imperceptible, but enough to make her stir.Her brow furrowed, still caught in the remnants of a dream, as she called out, "Ace?"There was no reply.She blinked her eyes open, pushing herself up on the bed. Her hand reached out, instinctively seeking Ace’s familiar warmth beside her, but her fingers touched only cool, empty sheets. Her frown deepened as she sat up fully, glancing around the dark room. Where was he?"Ace?" she called again, louder this time.Still nothing.A chill crept up her spine as she swung her legs over the side of the bed, slipping her feet into her slippers. Something didn’t feel right. Her heart began to bea
Ace chapter123
Ace sat in his office, fingers drumming against the wooden desk as he stared at the stack of papers in front of him. His mind wasn’t on the documents, though. No matter how much he tried to distract himself with work, his thoughts always drifted back to Lisa and the baby. He hadn’t been home much lately, caught up in his dealings, and a part of him knew he was avoiding her.His phone buzzed on the desk, pulling him from his thoughts. He picked it up, seeing Grey’s name flash across the screen.He answered immediately. “Grey?”“We have her,” Grey’s voice came through, cool and composed. “Evelyn’s in our custody. She’s in the cells now, and we rounded up a few of her men, but Richard wasn’t with them.”Ace’s heartbeat quickened. They had Evelyn. Finally, they had her. But the news about Richard not being there left a bitter taste in his mouth. That man was like a ghost, always slipping through their fingers.“I’m coming soon,” Ace said, his voice firm. He stood up, grabbing his coat, a
Ace chapter 123
Ann sat in the dimly lit room, her hands trembling slightly as she held the burner phone.Grey and his team had just briefed her on the plan—she was to call Evelyn, pretend to be sorry, and offer her some fabricated information about Ace and Lisa. It was a risky plan, but one they hoped would finally lead them to capturing Evelyn. Her mind was racing, trying to process the weight of what she was about to do. She had betrayed Lisa once by working with Evelyn, and though she had switched sides, the guilt still gnawed at her. Now, they were asking her to go back into the lion’s den, to trick the very person who had manipulated her before. Grey stood across from her, his expression calm but serious. “Are you ready?”Ann swallowed hard, nodding. “Yeah… I’ll do it.”One of Grey’s men handed her the phone, the screen lit up with Evelyn’s number. Ann’s thumb hovered over the call button for a moment, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew this call would either lead to Evelyn’s capture o
Ace chapter 122
Grey stood in the dimly lit room, his phone in hand as he looked at the group of men before him. They were a small but elite team, hardened by years of working in the shadows, each of them bound by loyalty to one another.Ace had been one of them once, and now that Lisa was back, Grey felt a sense of relief. They were all in this together again.“I just spoke to Ace,” Grey began, his deep voice cutting through the silence. “Lisa is back. She’s safe. But things are still tense between them.”The men exchanged glances, some nodding in acknowledgment, others frowning at the thought of the ongoing tension between Ace and Lisa. It had been a long road for the couple, and though Lisa’s return was a relief, it was clear that the war between them and their enemies was far from over.One of the men, a tall, muscular figure with a sharp jawline and a serious expression, stepped forward. He was known as Briggs, and he was the leader of their small group, a strategist who rarely spoke unless he h
Ace chapter 121
Evelyn leaned back in her plush chair, the dim light of the room casting shadows across her sharp features. A slow, satisfied smirk spread across her lips as she watched the live feed of Richard locked up in the isolated house. He was pacing, his usual calm and controlled demeanor slipping as he realized the gravity of his situation. It brought Evelyn a sense of twisted satisfaction to see her husband, always so proud and calculating, reduced to a caged animal."How the tables have turned, dear Richard," she whispered to herself, her fingers drumming on the armrest. The power shift between them was intoxicating. He had been trying to control her for too long, always thinking he could outsmart her, manipulate her into submission. But Evelyn had always been one step ahead, playing the long game, and now, with Richard out of the way, her plans could finally proceed uninterrupted. Or so she thought.A knock on the door interrupted her moment of victory. One of her men entered, his face
Ace chapter 120
Ace stood at the far end of the room, arms crossed as he watched Lisa enter. His expression was cold, eyes narrowed, the tension in the room palpable. Lisa could feel the weight of his stare, the anger simmering beneath the surface. It wasn’t like him to be so distant, so guarded. But she understood why—everything had been spiraling out of control, and her sudden return had likely only added to the chaos.“Why are you here, Lisa?” Ace’s voice was low, almost a growl. He took a step forward, his eyes locked on hers, searching for answers.Lisa took a deep breath, trying to steady herself before responding. “I tried calling you, but you didn’t answer. I came because I needed to tell you something important.”Ace’s jaw clenched as he shook his head. “You should’ve stayed where you were. I put you there for a reason. It was to keep you safe.”“Safe?” Lisa scoffed, her frustration bubbling to the surface. “How can I be safe when everything is falling apart around us? Evelyn has her claws
