AELLA. I'm still shocked. Ace asked me out, he wanted me to meet his family. I sniff, forcing the tears back in, Ace would not appreciate me crying. I don't know where we are headed, Ace just instructed me to dress up and get into the car. We have one car at our front and two at our back, filled with armed men. We are not out of danger. It stresses me out, the fact that I might never get to live a normal life again, the fact that I might never get to go back to classes again and discuss random things with my best friend Eva. What is stressing me most importantly right now, is my short denim skirt, which makes me conscious of the marks on my thighs. Nothing fits anymore, I almost cried as I sat on the floor in the bedroom, hours after testing almost everything I had. I have gotten so fat, my bust is now almost twice its normal size, and my butt looks bigger now. Ace walked in a minute later and convinced me I was overthinking. He wanted to convince me with sex, but I a
AELLA "I have known Ace since we were children. My father was Uncle Mike's friend." She knew my Father then, but I couldn't care less. I don't want to know anything about that man. "He was a..." Her voice breaks, she must be contemplating how much she is supposed to share with me. "He was a disturbed child." I stop mid-way from zipping my dress. Finally, I have met someone ready to tell me about the man I love. "Please go on," I say with a soft voice. "My dad didn't tell me why he was like that. One day, we were at the pack and he pushed me down the swing, I sprained my ankle and bled so much." "I am so sorry," I whisper. "It happened a long time ago. My father said to just be nice to him, to be honest, I liked him so much as a friend, so, I didn't give up on him." "I don't understand." "The goal is to trigger and not trigger him. I walked on tiptoes around him, especially when it came to his trauma. I didn't know the whole story behind it, but I knew
AELLA I was so excited, that I got wet even before he claimed my lips again. It had been so long, too long since we both had sex. We both are too impatient to go slowly, too starved for one another to waste time. I grab his suit jacket, pushing it off his shoulders, he smirks when I fist his shirt in my hand, tearing it off him, causing his buttons to fly away. "Violence, I like that baby." I gasped in shock when he tore my clothes off, the bra and panties followed suit almost immediately. "Fuck! I missed you, Angel." "Please Ace, I need you" I whisper, ensuring he can hear every note of desperation. I move to kiss him, but he pulls back. Denying me his lips, he grabs my waist and lifts me. Spinning me around, he sets me down on Caroline's desk. He weaves his arms under my knees and grabs my hips, roughly tugging me towards him. I feel my wetness drop down my thigh, and I blush, knowing that he can see it too. "You are so wet for me baby. You are goi
AELLA "What?" I ask laughing, when Ace licks his lips, adjusting his trousers for the tenth time in five minutes. He has also been staring at me since we left the house. "That dress...All I can think about right now is fucking you with it far up your thighs. "The dress is beautiful, you are beautiful." I blush, smoothing my dress nervously and yes, I am wet. I had been bothered about how to get dressed since I knew absolutely nothing about makeup. I fell harder for Ace when I came home to three sweet ladies. They did my makeup and my hair; I was mad when I found out that Ace specifically told them not to take an inch off my length. When they were done, I couldn't stay mad because I looked so good. "Wine?" I laugh suspiciously, Ace would never let me drink if he had his way. I know he must be up to something if he is willingly offering me wine. "It would make you feel better trust me." I accepted the glass from him, he was right, and the knot in my stomach was starti
AELLA I force a smile to my lips when an elderly woman walks towards us. She should be in her late seventies and I don't need a seer to tell me she is Ace's grandmother. Now I know where Ace got his looks, she is beautiful, she looks like a model out of a magazine or straight out of a fashion show. I don't know why, but I push my hand to my back in an attempt to hide the giant ring on my finger. This is my first time meeting Ace's family, and I honestly don't know how to act. She suddenly stops in front of Ace, I turn to look at him, and it is only then I realize how awkward they both are. "Madam Gigi" Okay, this is getting awkward, and I honestly would fancy a big glass of wine. She moves closer to Ace and touches his face. I grab his hand protectively when he flinches. "Thank you for coming Ace," she says, her voice breaking. She sniffs, turning to me. "You must be Aella; I have heard so much about you." I gasped shocked, when she hugged me. She smells like home, and fo
ACE I was furious, my heart was beating so fast it was a miracle that it couldn't be heard from the gate. No one speaks to Aella that way, no one is allowed to talk about her. They don't know what it took me to bring her here, they don't know how much I hated sharing her with humans. She is mine, she belongs to me. She is my person, and no one is allowed to hurt the only thing that makes me happy. I have been on edge since the day began, it got worse when Aella didn't even blink when I woke her up. I almost asked my men to drive us back home. She won't admit it, but she has been looking tired and sick these past few weeks. I have had the ring in my pocket for weeks, I had been thinking about how to propose to Aella. I want to own her, I want her to bear my name, I want her to call me husband, I want her to carry my children, and I will go crazy if that doesn't happen soon. I knew Aella would say no, she would never let me have things so easily, so I just slipped the ri
ACE Aella stares at me confused. "Oh, I didn't know you had a brother." Christain laughed, making my skin crawl in disgust. "Not by blood, unfortunately, Ace's mother could only have one child." "You piece of shit, don't you ever mention her name here." "Boys! Calm down, can we just try to be nice?" Madam Gigi comments, smoothening her forehead. She looks older and sick, I hate myself for noticing, I hate myself for being worried about her."Nice to meet you...?" "Christain. I am not surprised my brother didn't tell you about me. We have our moments.""Christ Christain, can you not start? you just met the lady." Rebecca speaks, eyeing her brother in disgust. Rebecca is the nicest out of everyone on this table, she was not even born when my mother died, and I was abandoned. We don't have a relationship, we see each other once a year during this charity event, she is a talker and when she manages to get me alone, she makes sure to fill me up on everything going on in her life
AELLA I leave Ace to dance with Gigi. I hope they settle their differences, Gigi looks like a cool person to me, it is so sad that a gorgeous woman like that has a hardened heart, how could she abandon her son's child, leaving him to fend for himself? I hastily make my way to the restroom, all the wine I had consumed has made my bladder full. I walk faster when I see Lysandra waving at me, I don't want to talk to her. "Chill Aella, I could swear you saw me earlier." "I didn't" I lie through my teeth. God help me so we can have a civilized conversation so I can use the restroom sooner rather than later. "Leave Ace alone, he deserves so much better." "I know, he deserves so much more. But if this conversation is about me leaving him for you, then you are laughable and downright pitiful." I say, tapping my feet to avoid peeing on myself. "I don't like you Aella." "I am glad we are both on the same page. I don't like you either." "I don't think you know him" Lysandra laug
