Unice's PoVSleeping soundly, I awoke because I heard my phone alarm, and when I turned to my left side, I was surprised to see Ace in front of me. I slowly got up, puzzled as to why he didn't wake up when my phone alarm went off. I made a stern face and laughed because he didn't wake up."You thought I was not awake now?" When he suddenly spoke, it caught me off guard."I know you'll wake up when you hear my phone's alarm," I said as he opened his eyes and looked at me."Today is the day we're going to be busy," Ace reminded. I understand what he means; I'm going to Edward's company today and telling him Ace is giving up, but it's all part of his plan."Yes, I'm aware of that. I'm going to prepare breakfast for us first before we proceed with our plan," I explained to Ace as I got out of bed and put on my slippers. I stretch my arm, and I'm carrying my phone right now. I exited my room and went to the kitchen, where I was wearing my kitchen apron and preparing what we would eat for t
Unice's PoVWhen we arrived at the mansion, Ace parked his sports motorcycle, and I got off. I removed my helmet, fixed my hair, and handed it over to him."I'm going inside first," I stated, and he nodded.I walk to his house and open the door to see if anything unusual is happening. I go inside and immediately go to my room to change my clothes. After changing into a blue t-shirt, I put on a short, place my bag on the bed, and pick up my phone.I exited my room and noticed Ace waiting for me; I knew he wanted to know what had happened, so I was ready to tell him everything."Let's talk in the living room. It's more comfortable there," I suggested, and he followed. He is dressed in a black leather jacket, a v-neck white shirt, black fitted pants, and black boots."I'm sorry if I have to fetch you; I'm just worried, even though I've asked my men to follow you for your safety," Ace apologized. I knew he was worried and sat down on the sofa with him."I told you I'd be fine; he hasn't d
Ace's PoV"The time has come for us to end this once and for all, Edward," I challenged as he clutched his teeth."Unice, take cover!" I yelled. I grabbed my pump action shotgun when Edward began to draw his gun."Ace, you're going to die right here! Together with your girlfriend," Edward exclaimed, but I remained calm, knowing I needed to outrun him. He continued shooting after the bullets ran out, and it was now my turn to take the spot.I fired my shotgun as he took cover. Without hesitation, I ran towards Unice, destroying the furniture in my house.She was frightened while I checked to see if she was hurt."Are you okay? Are you hurt?" As she nodded, I questioned her."Our plan didn't work out, but luckily I have another plan, which is to take him out the old-fashioned way," I said as I loaded my pump action shotgun."Come out there, you coward, and face me!" When Edward yelled, I grabbed a glass bottle, looked around for him, and threw the glass bottle at his head, hitting him.
Unice's PoV"Are you all right? I didn't burn the body because of you." While smoking a cigarette on the rooftop, Ace said he is used to killing people with ease, just like he killed Edward."I'm afraid if you get arrested, I'll be alone. But before that, I have something to tell you." I told Ace, and I turned away because I was going to tell him I didn't take birth control pills."I lied about taking birth control pills; the truth is that I forgot to take them and buy them," I told him, and when I looked at him, he smiled and touched my hand."Are you noticing any changes in your body?" Ace asked, and I shook because I hadn't felt anything about my health since our last sex."I don't feel anything different, but if I'm pregnant, I might feel it in a week," I explained, and he nodded."I'd be happy if you were pregnant; I'm not angry that you lied to me for the second time." Ace was confident, and I pouted."I'm sorry; I think I need to get a pregnancy test first. So we will know the
Unice's PoVTom and I arrived at the convenience store. I unbuckle my seatbelt and exit the vehicle. When I entered the store, the old man, who I knew, smiled."Welcome back. How are you? You haven't been here in a long time." I approached the counter after being greeted by the old man."I'd like to purchase a pregnancy test," I asked, and he was taken aback by what I had just said."Are you experiencing pregnancy symptoms?" The old man interrogates me, and I notice Tom has not entered the store."I didn't take a birth control pill, you know what I mean?" I inquired, and he nodded before handing me a pregnancy test."You should monitor yourself in two weeks. Suppose you miss your period, have nausea or fatigue, or feel sick. In that case, you should take the test you purchased today and consult an Obstetrician-Gynecologist." I listened to the old man's advice and paid him."Thank you for informing me; I had no idea, but I will do as you advised," I respond to him, and he nods as I lea
Unice's PoVSurprisingly, I fell asleep again. When I looked outside, it was already dark; I believe it was evening at the time. I look at the television, and it's turned off; it appears that Tom or Justin came here and saw me sleeping on the sofa.I got up from my seat and heard Ace's voice in the kitchen, so I went over there; when I looked at him, he looked at me and smiled while dribbling some wine."You are awake. You fall asleep while watching TV. That's what Tom said to me," Ace said, holding a wine glass, and I didn't see the others, who were Tom and Justin."When did you return home?" I approached him and sat beside him on a chair."I'm already finished with my paperwork, which is why I got home early," Ace explained as he sipped from his wine glass."What are you doing drinking wine? Are you all right?" I inquired, and he placed the glass of wine on the kitchen table."I'm afraid if I get arrested, I won't be able to drink this wine," Ace said, leaving me speechless."I told
Christian's PoVI'm going to Shelton Mansion today for some reason; I need to know how my father has been since he disappeared, and I know it has something to do with Ace. I believe Ace has kept my father and is planning to trap me; if he does, I have a backup plan to notify the authorities.Finished preparing myself, and I noticed mom in the kitchen cooking breakfast; she was sad because dad didn't come home and worried. When I approached her, she looked at me. I can tell by her expression that she is concerned about her father."Are you going to your father's place of business?" Mom questioned me, and I nodded; I didn't want her to know where my father was because she might act boastfully."I'm sorry, Mom if Dad hasn't returned yet; I think he's just very busy with his work," I lied to her because I didn't want her to be concerned, and she had just finished cooking breakfast."Let's eat our breakfast before you go to the company," mom insisted as she set out plates and utensils for
Ace's PoVThe time has come to call Christian and inform him that I have his father alive and will kill him if he does not come into my house. Still, he is unaware that I have already killed his father and that he is next on the list. I smirked as Max entered the office and handed me the contract I had written for Unice."Are you certain about this? You don't need our assistance tonight?" Max approached me, and I signed the contract."Thank you, but I know you want to help me, but not with this one; I'll do it on my own, and I don't want you to get involved. Tonight, you will leave the basement with no trace, especially Edward's car; remove all evidence and ensure there is no trace," I advised Max after I signed the contract. This is my fight, and I don't want anyone else to get involved."All right, then I'll do that, and I'll also transfer Unice to a new house you buy for her so she can be safe," Max responded as I returned his smile."She has no idea that I bought a new house just
Unice's PoVThree weeks have passed, and Ace has finished preparing for our wedding; it is a private wedding ceremony between us, with some of our employees attending, including Tom and Max. I'm now in my room with Zoey, who is doing my make-up because today is my wedding day. After everything we've been through with our company and our son Ace's case being dismissed by the court, today is the proudest day of my life."I can't believe today will be so special; you're getting married!" Zoey complimented me on my face, and I smiled while checking myself in the mirror."Thank heavens, by the way, I called the orphanage from which I came and invited the sister or caretaker who looks after me; she is now elderly, but I want to thank her and show her that I am doing well," while brushing my hair, I explained to Zoey."Great! But is she happy for you?" Zoey exclaimed as she finished applying my make-up."Yes, she is pleased. I also introduce my son Aaron to her. She suggested that if I have
Unice's PoVI heard my phone ring and wondered who it was, it's been a year, and Ace will be released from the mental hospital this year, but he will continue the medication he requires. But when I answered the phone, no one answered."Hello, who are you?" I smiled and asked to look at the number, which was not saved on my phone.[Good morning, Ms. Unice, I'm standing in front of your office,] I was perplexed when I heard Ace's voice and quickly rose from my seat.I hung up the phone, and when I opened the door to my office, Ace smiled at me, followed by Max. Why didn't they inform me that he would return today?! I was ecstatic to see him again."I had no idea you'd be back today! Nobody informed me!" I said, and he immediately hugged me."I'm sorry about that. I know you're excited to be with me again," Ace bubbled, and I hugged him as tightly as I could."It's all right! Come inside first because I'm still working," I replied, and he went inside."Miss Unice, you need to call Tom to
Unice's PoV It wasn't that difficult because I had a normal birth. My ob-gyn and nurses are assisting me with this process, for which I am grateful. [How are you doing right now?] Ace questioned me because Tom had called Dr. Henry to inform him that I had already given birth to Ace's son and was feeling a little dizzy. "I'm fine. I'm a little weak and dizzy because I just gave birth," I reminded him, and Zoey handed me my son while Tom held the phone. [Do you have a name in mind?] Ace inquired, and I could see from his face that he was excited about our newborn baby boy. I didn't know what to name him because we didn't talk about it when I was visiting or talked about other things. "To be honest, I don't have a name in mind, but do you have one?" I inquire, and he smiles. [I'm always prepared; we didn't discuss it when you were here. I considered naming him Aaron because my name begins with the A.' I want to name him after that letter,] Ace suggested a name for our baby boy, and
Unice's PoVEight months have passed, and I'm working from home because my tummy is large. Fortunately, my ob-gyn is guiding me through this process. I discovered my child is a boy in my recent ultrasound, and I told Ace about it. He was happy that it was a boy, and he told me that he would teach him good manners and that he would not allow him to be like him. We can see each other during Ace's treatment in the mental hospital, which Dr. Henry allowed us, for which I am grateful."Do you want some hot chocolate with marshmallows?" While typing on the laptop, I heard Zoey ask me a question; she has the day off today, and it's Friday."All right, give me some hot chocolate with marshmallows," I respond, returning to my laptop to type. I'm currently working on a contract to open a new shop, and I assigned Mr. Daffe to go there because I can't because I'm pregnant.I paused typing and rubbed my stomach. I felt the kick inside and smiled, thinking that if Ace was here, he'd be overjoyed if
Unice's PoVEverything went well after we visited Ace in the mental hospital. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to visit him on weekends, which was good. We arrived home, and Justin parked the Humvee, after which I unbuckled the seat belt and exited, noticing that Zoey was not talking to me for some reason. Maybe she and Justin talked about something, and I need to remind her that I'm her best friend and can help her.We entered my house, and Zoey went straight to the living room without changing her clothes, which confused me. I followed her, saw her lying on the sofa, and she noticed me."Unice! Why did you follow me? Will you tell me what happened at the mental hospital?" Zoey asked, and she quickly rose to her feet."It's not about that; you didn't speak to me earlier; did something happen that you don't want me to know about?" When I asked her, she pouted."Justin and I talked about Max, and he told me that Max has a crush on me," Zoey laughed."I know that too, Zoey. I'm sorry,
Unice's PoVI'm glad Ace is okay and was transferred to a mental hospital; we're now talking about the baby since I told him I'll go back to the hospital for check-ups and an ob-gyn appointment."What do you think about it being a baby boy?" Ace inquired, and I laughed."We'll know soon. It'll depend on the ultrasound. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. It's our child," I told him, and he smiled at me, excited, he touched my tummy, and I heard a little knock."I'm sorry to interrupt you two, Miss Unice, but we need to talk," Dr. Henry said, and I returned my gaze to Ace."It's okay. Go talk to him," Ace responded, and I nodded, standing up from my seat and exiting the room to speak with Dr. Henry."I apologize for bothering you both, but I'm going to ask you some questions, and you must answer them honestly," Dr. Henry advised, and I didn't respond as we continued walking towards his clinic office; when we arrived and entered, he pointed to a chair.I sat down and looked aroun
Unice's PoVAfter we made an appointment at the ob-gyn and had my physical check-up with a physician to check the symptoms of being pregnant, the doctor said I would return to the hospital. I was scheduled to meet an ob-gyn which she referred to. It was confirmed that I'm pregnant, and she told me to take nutritious food, and I can't have hard sex for now. It's best to not have sex."We'll have to return here for your ob-gyn appointment. Do you want to eat first? Given that it is already lunchtime," Zoey inquired as we walked down the hospital's hallway. Tom followed us, and Justin waited for us in the parking lot."I'm going to tell you something first, Zoey," I said as we stepped into the elevator."What exactly is it?" As the elevator door closed, Zoey inquired."It's about Ace; he's been transferred to the Urea Mental Hospital, and I need to go there right now to see if he's okay," I explained, and she was speechless; she didn't say anything."I understand that, but we need to eat
Ace's PoVIt's been weeks since my arrest, and the authorities still question me. It's bothersome that I'm eating and I'm not too fond of the food here, but I need to eat something so I don't feel weak. There are many individuals in prison, some of whom are high-profile inmates, and I can see they have a group, and I hope I don't get involved.I'm concerned about Unice; it's been two weeks since I guess she took the pregnancy test, and I haven't heard from Max. I sipped the water from the plastic cup and was coughing when someone bumped me on the back."Shit, sorry, bro," the man who bumped me apologized, and as I glanced at him, it appeared that he had a bunch of men with him."Did you do that on purpose, or are you trying to provoke a fight since I'm new here?" I remarked, and he stopped chatting to his friends."I've already apologized. Are you insane? It's no surprise that you're here with us." He mocks and looks at me as if he's about to punch me, but I'm not scared."You're insa
Unice's PoVIt's been two weeks, and I'm feeling nauseated. And Zoey has decided to live with me because she is concerned that I am pregnant. It's early in the morning, and I'm going to take a pregnancy test, so I'm in the bathroom.Positive things the physician at the nearby convenience store was kind enough to show me how to use a pregnancy test, and I followed his instructions.First, I'll put on disposable gloves, then collect a sample of my urine using the urine container. Third, collect some urine with disposable droplets; fifth, drop at least three times in the pregnancy test and wait three minutes for the result, which is good because I have my cellphone right here.I had a slight headache, and it's irritating when someone teases you, as Zoey did to me yesterday. Still, I didn't show her how irritated I was.After three minutes, the results were in; there was a line in both the test and the center. According to the physician guide, I am positive that I was pregnant.I stood up
