AELLA "I am sorry, I don't want to make him worry." "I worry too Aella. You are such a sweet lady, even Mike who never failed with words, failed to describe you properly. you are a breath of fresh air. Mr Hale looks happier now. I have never seen him worry about anyone since his mother." "You knew my father?" I inquire surprised. "Mike was many things, Aella. he loved you, that is what matters the most." I almost asked her to tell me about him, but I don't think I am ready to hear his reasons for abandoning his family. "You said something about Ace's mother, is she dead." she sniffs. "She would have loved you, my dear." "How did she die?" she opens her mouth and then closes it again, staring at the two intruders at our back. I almost told them to excuse us but immediately decided against it. The only person they take instructions from is Ace. I looked down at my plate surprised, that was one mean sandwich. "Maybe I would make you a san
Aella She is even more annoying than I could ever imagine. She starts dishing out instructions to the three ladies, asking them to take the dresses off the hangers and place them on the bed. I sit down on the edge of the bed, my eyes burning with unshed tears. I would kill Ace the minute I see him, how dare he disrespect me by sending his lover here? It was my first time in a different room, how many days in this mansion and I had no idea there were rooms downstairs. I wonder if he had fucked her on this same bed. "Ah! it's a good thing I always come prepared. These dresses would fit." I don't like the colours, most of them are purple and the rest are lemon. I don't have anything against them, but I would like to look less... colourful when going to class. For somebody who had her legs spread for a man, it's ridiculous that I feel shy undressing in front of these women. I can't remember when last I had a bra on, my boobs are not exactly small, but it is no
Aella He leaves me by the door, going to the closet, taking off his tie. "You know this conversation ends the same way, and that is with me saying no." "Okay, Fuck it!" Fuck the beautiful world I had created, he wants to fight dirty, I am his girl. "Don't swear Angel, you know how much I hate that." "I swear if you call me Angel one more time, I will scratch your eyes out, even your money wouldn't be able to repair the damage, you are a fucking, stupid, crazy, weird motherfucker." That gets his attention, his jaw drops as he looks at me in disbelief. "Don't push me, I have had a very long day." "You would do well to let me go back home this minute. You don't like me swearing? I promise you there is more from where that came from." He moves back to the room, and I follow him. He sits on the bed taking off his shoes and socks. Have I mentioned that this man's feet are gorgeous? "You would do well to apologize right
AELLATwo fingers turn to three, I moan in ecstasy. I am so close, so close to coming."Look at how greedy your pussy is for my fingers; you are taking me like a good whore that you are."I immediately get wetter, grinding my poor backside on his erection. I like his dirty mouth; I like it when he says dirty things to me. "Please fuck me, Ace.""You want my cock so badly?" He clamps his teeth on my neck, forcing a scream from my mouth."Yes...please, cum inside me.""Whose whore are you, who owns this tight pussy baby?""You" I cry out "I am yours."He drags my hair back "Open". I whimpered as I obeyed. He spits into my mouth. It was disgusting- It was so hot. It was truly repulsive and made me shiver with ecstasy. He pulls his fingers out of me and pushes two of them into my mouth, I taste myself."Lick them clean, taste how sweet you are." He pressed his finger so deep in my mouth that I gagged."That is a good girl. You like tasting how wet you are?" His hand is so deep in my thro
AELLA I smell cakes when we get to the kitchen. I am not hungry for food, but I will always be hungry for sweet things. I poke Ace's hand, instructing him to put me down when I see Amanda and my bodyguards. The stubborn man doesn't. He moves to the chair and places me to sit on his lap. "Ace stop," I say weakly. I am red thinking about the fact that they might have heard me scream like a banshee. My only consolation is the fact that Dan and his partner were not keeping watch at the door. Amanda places a plate of pasta beside me, I frown looking at the cakes instead. "I will eat the cake." "You will eat real food before having any of those." "Are you going to control me down to what I eat?" I reply rolling my eyes. I seem to be doing that a lot lately. "You offend me by calling my care for you control. It would help if you ate; you are too tiny. I fear I might fuck you into a coma if you can't keep up with me." Is it possible to turn the
ACE I was horny and tired. I haven't slept for days now, and as much as I would love to think of myself as a machine, I am nothing but a man. A man who has lost everything he ever cared for. My mother, and then Mike who was like a father to me, a man that had taken me in and made sure I was properly taken care of. Although I had hated him for some time, I still didn't want him dead. He should have come to me, just as my poor mother should have opened up to me. I have spent the past few days working, trying to find the truth behind Zade killing his father and the file... I sigh adjusting my tie. I need to find it sooner rather than later. After the shootout at Mike's cabin, my men couldn't capture anyone which left us guessing that Zade's men must have killed Mike. I need to find the file soon; I also need Information concerning Mike's death. I am a man that works with evidence, that is why I am respected by crime lords even if I am not one myself. I kno
ACE"The bastard has been involved in selling underage girls to sex clubs. I have been looking for him for years now. How fortunate that he just landed on my lap when I least expected it."I roll my sleeve up, preparing myself for the pain he is about to go through if he stresses me out. I am not a good man; neither is my friend Ryker. I own legit businesses worth billions. I also have different clubs and hotels around the world. But do I kill? Yes, but the monster in me would never harm innocent people, these men on the other hand don't care who they hurt in the process of making a living.Ryker on the other hand, comes from money, He runs a small country and pushes drugs but only sells to politicians and influential men. We do come out with our guns when necessary, having vowed three years ago to stop sex trafficking and selling of drugs to minors after his sister was taken, raped and left to die like a poor rat on the street."Why don't you start talking and save us all the stress.
ACEI am exhausted and I need to sleep. I am also losing my patience. I stand up moving towards him. "You want this the hard way?""I swear, I don't know why Zade wanted him alive. I don't know why he killed his father and framed Mike."He starts struggling, fighting against the rope when I bring the knife closer. I drag his left hand, chopping off his middle finger without hesitation, his screams worsen my headache. I am barely standing as it is."We can make that video call now if you like.""Easy boy. I need to have fun with him too. Don't kill him before I get started." Ryker adds clearing his throat.I grab another finger, pushing the tip of the knife into it, slowly. "We would go slower now."He has tears running down his good eyes. "Please I am saying the truth.""Ryan, make that call for me."He starts pleading, swearing on his daughter's life that he was telling the truth. I sit back on my chair, dropping the knife on the floor. I believe him, he wasn't lying when he said he
ACE EPILOGUE I frown, holding my tongue when Aella carries a chair outside, Ryker is whispering to North beside me, he must be saying something funny because it has her giggling. I lose it when Aella comes back inside to carry the second chair "Baby, let me do that" "Christ Ace, I am four months pregnant not handicapped!" North laughs beside me, and I give her the side eye. "You might shake the baby up with all those lifting" Why can't my wife see that I am making a lot of sense here? I have more than enough men around to help arrange, but Aella is hell-bent on doing things her way. When I confronted her yesterday, demanding that she let an event planner do it, she cried her eyes out and told me she wanted to plan her daughter's third birthday party herself, like she didn't plan the last two. "Dada, dada!" The smile on my face widens when Mia runs towards me. I bend to carry her, and she yawns. Aella immediately abandons everything, giving her attention to our daughter. "D
AELLA I push her hard when she tries to punch my stomach. I have blood all over me, but I take consolation in the fact that they are hers. She screams furiously when she lands on her butt. I am getting dizzy from all the hair-pulling. I yelp when she grabs my hair. "You should never have left your cage whore. You caused all of this, you drove me to this point child" She shouts, pushing, me to the floor and kicking me accurately. Pain slices through me and my eyes tear up, flowing freely. If I could get my mind past the pain and shock, I would fight back, she is trying to kill our baby. She draws her leg back and kicks me, I scream, my body folding over protectively, my arms wrapping around my tummy to protect my baby. Her first connects with my thighs in an angered, frenzied scream. "You will die with this bitch inside you, I will save the world from another whore like you." She sounds breathless. I don't know where I found the courage, but I suddenly got on my feet, punching
ACE My hands were shaking when Jake turned on his laptop. "Thankfully, she was taken here, I don't think she knew you had cameras in here." He clicks on the video, and I suddenly forget how to breathe "Aella mo... you know her?" I was suddenly sweating, "Not as Aella's mother." We would have found her sooner if I ever took the initiative to request pictures of my woman's mother. I slightly open my mouth to assist myself with breathing. "She was there that night Jake." Jake pauses, staring at me like I might have lost my mind. "We have never seen any woman in any of the videos sent to us all these years. You confirmed that they were all men." I sit, I fear I might fall if I don't. "I think my memory has been messed up all this while, I might have gotten it all wrong. But I swear to you, I know her," I look back at the video playing on the laptop. "Her hair, voice, that smile, how could I ever forget it? She had the same smile on her face when she killed my mother." "You said
AELLA I remember Ace telling me his father came home angry, and for the first time, raised his voice, he died that same day. Oh God, my eyes widen in shock, and I stare at Mama, hoping she tells me I am wrong "Please, tell me you didn't kill him." "Well technically no..." She smirks. "I only told Joe that he tried to rape me when I found out he was planning on snitching on us. Joe and Luciano were furious, so they made his death look like a car accident." I want to throw up, so I do. Ace would hate me when he found out that Mama had a hand in his father's death. "You would need a bowl by the time I finished my story." "It doesn't end there?" "Is that question number three?" God help me "Yes." "Tighten your seat belt, honey, it is about to get messy." She said, "I didn't like the fact that he chose his family over me, I wanted to destroy everything he worked for." "God, please no" "We went to their house, it was easy, Luciano had made a name for himself, he had m
AELLAI just want Ace, I know I would feel better when I saw his face. I make quick work of locking the front door, before running upstairs to the bedroom. I burst through the door, frenzied and out of breath, only to be met by a woman, standing in the middle of the room, staring at the window. She turns to face me almost immediately, and the knife in my hand falls to the ground dramatically. "Mama?" I feel dizzy and confused all of a sudden. I must have died at some point and ended up in hell with Mama, how else do I explain my sudden ability to see the dead? "You haven't changed Aella." She looks at my bump with disgust "I always knew you would end up a whore, prophesies never lie child." I don't know if I need to run, or defend myself. "You are dead." Someone, please wake me up from this dream. She laughs and my eyes widen in shock when I see the syringe. why is everyone so obsessed with drugging me? "You haven't changed Aella, still the same old child, looking for val
AELLA My heart immediately breaks, but I sniff to avoid crying. "Oh God, you were... you were like that till morning?" "Yes, I was at the hospital for weeks. My father's family took me in but later sent me away, Mike came to the rescue when I had no one else to turn to." "All of these don't define you, Ace, it only proves that you are a strong-willed man." "Thank you""I love you now, more than ever." "I have not been able to properly sleep since then. I keep having nightmares Aella, crazy ones. I end up physically hurting anyone around me when I am unconscious." "You are scared of hurting me? We wouldn't know if we didn't try Ace." "Remember I told you my uncle sent me out after a month because Lysandra told them about my trauma?" "Yes, how could I forget that." "We happened to spend the night together once." I raise my brow "Just sleeping Aella, we were kids." "Don't blame me for going there, I don't like her, you know that." "I hurt her, it could have been so mu
ACE I watch Aella sleep. There is something peaceful and calm about it, her red hair spread around her like a blanket, her small mouth slightly opened, and her eyes tightly shut. She looks like an angel straight out of a museum. I gently touch her hair, then her brow and she sighs. I never imagined I could ever have someone who genuinely loved me like my parents, someone ready to protect me like Mike and my mother. I fucking love Aella with all of me, and she doesn't even know she is giving me the most perfect gift which is our child. I never truly wanted to be a father until I laid my eyes on her. I suddenly had this animalistic urge to own her, to get her pregnant and when all this was over, she would be completely mine, she would be legally tied to me forever. I want to call her wife so badly, this time around, I don't want to just slip a ring on her finger like I did the first time she met my family, I want to properly ask her to marry me, and I know she would say ye
AELLA Ace looked older and tired, I didn't notice how much his hair and beard had grown, or the dark circles around his eyes, he looked like he hadn't slept in weeks. I wish I could say he looked like he hadn't slept in two days because I was away. I sigh, and he stares at me. We have been silent since I came back home, I guess he feels guilty after all. "When last did you sleep?" "Uhh?" My question threw him off guard. "I want to tell you the truth." "Then, tell me." "I hardly ever sleep Aella, and no, it didn't start because of you, It started way before I met you." "When you were molested?" I haven't seen the video, but with the little North told me, I guess molested is the best word to use. "You have seen it?" I am immediately mad when he buries his head in his hands in shame. I hear him sniff, and I force my butt to remain on my seat, if I move to console him now, he would think I perceive him as weak. "I am sorry you had to watch that, I would not stop you from leaving
AELLA "How could a beautiful woman like you, love a man like Ryker," I say, copying her. She laughs, smoothing her baby hair. "I know right." She frowns "I have been a terrible host. Do you want anything Aella?" "Water please." My throat is so dry. "Of course. Elena, a minute please" A beautiful young lady in her twenties comes in, holding a glass of water. I accept it with a smile, drinking greedily from the cup. "Here, do take her with you." She pouts, and Elena smiles, holding a laugh "I hope she sleeps longer; I might cry with her if she starts again." Elena loses the battle, laughing her ass out, with her hands on her belly. "I now understand why Mama sent me here, what would you do without me North? Give her to me, I will leave you two to talk, don't worry about this sleeping beauty." She waves at me, before leaving the room with the baby. "Your sister?" "Yes. bless her, she agreed to go to school from here, she is obsessed with Celeste." That explains Elena's bea
