HEARTBEAT Chapter 71: A Kiss before dying
AELLA I was relieved to hear that Ryan had left earlier to go take care of something. Dan and Lucas, I can handle it, but certainly not Ryan. That man is an extension of Ace. "Don't you dare" I grate, pointing at Lucas. "Sit your ass back down on that chair." I flash him my most intimidating face which is very difficult to keep, I feel like I could throw up any minute. He moves to sit, then decides to stand back. "Mr Hale said you are not to be alone." "Call Mr Hale and ask him if watching his woman pee on a stick is part of your job description." He turns to Dan, crying for help. Finally, he clears his throat and takes a seat. "We will come in after fifteen minutes, I am sorry nothing more." "I want me some obsessed men too." Eva looks at them, smiling cornily. "Aella is ungrateful, you can order me around if you want, I am very submissive." I drag Eva with me to the doctor's office. I can't risk leaving her alone with them. "Eva, good to see you." Doctor Beaut

ACE I would make sure to spank Aella when I see her. She has hung up on me twice in one day, and that doesn't sit well with me. I am not mad that she isn't pregnant, we would try again, this time around I would make sure to convince her that having my child isn't such a horrible thing. No one has hurt me more than Aella. She has broken my trust, my love, and my faith in what we stand for. She promised not to leave me, she promised to put me first no matter what, but she immediately ran off in the face of danger. I adjust my tie. All thoughts of wanting to tell her about the video immediately vanishes, I can't trust her anymore, I need to make sure I sort everything out before she finds out about it. I groan when I hear the door open, it is Jake. "They are waiting." I nod, following him out of the empty room. I had to excuse myself from the meeting immediately after I saw Aella call. I didn't care to keep important men waiting, Aella comes first for me, it doesn't even matter i

AELLA Two things I noticed when I woke up, my hands and legs were tied to a chair, and it was too dark. My shoulders ached and throbbed. I don't know what day it is; I have no idea how long I have been unconscious. I groan in pain when I try to shift my body, causing the rough fabric on my hands and legs to tear into my flesh. I could smell my blood, and the dry blood in my thighs. . . Oh God, my baby! I shuddered; I remember hitting my stomach on the car seat when the accident happened. I sniff when a tear falls down my cheek. I know I said I didn't want this baby, but I was never going to go through with aborting it either. I don't know where the strength comes from, maybe the thoughts of bleeding to death and losing my child make me frantic but I start yelling, fighting to free myself. I heard a door open, and the footstep that glided in was smooth and soft. "You are awake." His voice made me cold, forced me to swallow my screams, and made me wish I had forced myself ba

ACE My men have all assembled themselves at the warehouse. I frown when I see Ryan too. I desperately want to punch his teeth and watch him bleed, but that would also mean wasting more time, and Aella doesn't have time. "Any luck in finding Hugo?" I ask Ryker. He looks stressed like he had just been dragged out of bed. When Ryan told me they had cars chasing after Aella, I immediately concluded that it was Zade. Only Zade has that much authority to plan a kidnap in broad daylight. "No" He replies, stifling a yawn. I feel so bad that I have to do this, drag him away from his family when they equally need him. "Thank you for always showing up Ryker." I mean it. "Never thank me, Ace. Aella is family."I nod in response. I will forever be grateful to him. "Ace?" I don't know why, but I immediately adjust my tie when Rebecca walks in with Jake. "I am sorry we had to cut your class short." "No...I... okay." She starts twisting her fingers nervously, avoiding my eyes. "Thank y

ACE His eyes widen in shock and I smirk. They are not so smart after all. His first mistake was assuming that he could never be found. Ryker drags a chair closer to Hugo, nudging him to sit down. He growled but finally sat down when I pointed my gun at him. "What do you want from me." "So bold of you to ask me that Hugo.""My son?" I know a scared man when I see one, and judging from the conversation I just overheard, this man loves his son more than anything. He doesn't have to know that his son is on his way to see Rebecca. "I don't have any business with him, I am here for you. He is going to be safe as long as you don't waste my time." "Are you not a coward Ace, using my son against me, instead of coming unto me like a real man? How did you find me?" I sigh, cracking my neck. "I will do the asking Hugo. And you know I am no coward, but I have no pride when it comes to my woman. I know Zade has her." "Then go find Zade yourself." His mouth would be the death of hi

AELLA I don't know how long I have been held here. I have lost track of time. What I do know for sure is that I have slept, cried, and thrown up until I felt like I was going to vomit my intestine, or worse my baby. I have decided to embrace the positive side of things. Zade said I bled because they took out the trackers in me, I didn't bleed because I might have had a miscarriage. I miss Ace and Eva; I want to eat Amanda's pasta. I hope Dan and Eva are alive, I blacked out in the car, so I don't remember much. I force my eyes open, the brightness in the room makes me want to cry and scream. But I don't, I fear what Zade would do to me when he comes in again. I have had nothing to eat, except two glasses of water. And I smell of my vomit and blood. My eyes fall on Rose's picture. If I could paint, I would paint every detail of her with my eyes closed. I will never forget her smile, the little freckles on her cheek, her red straight hair, or her green eyes. I have been haunted

ACE I fill up my glass again, shaking my legs impatiently. I want to go back to Aella, I want to hold her in my arms until I am convinced that she is fine, that she is safe and pregnant... The thought of having a tiny human growing inside her makes me so happy. "You can see him now." I wave my men off when they attempt to stand with me. I want to see Zade alone. In my attempt to stop him from hurting Aella, I shot him in the shoulder. I don't bother knocking on the door before entering. He is expecting me. "Are you planning on keeping me in here? So bad you have no one to send my head to Ace, you are a smart man, you know the organization will come for you soon." "I don't plan on imprisoning you Zade. Guess what? I plan on letting you go immediately after this conversation. Your men are right outside this door." "I would not apologize for trying to kill her, you will be a crazy man if you decide to let me go. I will never stop Ace, I will come back stronger and better, an
Last Updated : 2024-04-17HEARTBEAT Chapter 78: There is something called Fate
AELLA "Aella" I expect him to raise his voice, I expect him to walk out on me and promise never to see me again, that is why I start crying when he runs to hug me. "I would never have gone through with it Ace. I am so sorry." I start talking, desperate for him to understand me. "I was hurt and confused Ace, I was so scared, I felt I didn't deserve to be a mother, I wanted to hurt you." "I know" "I didn't mean any of the things I said to you. I don't hate you; I don't detest the fact that this baby is yours." I pull away from his embrace so I can see his face. "I love you, Ace. Thank you for finding me." "I am sorry Aella." I close my eyes, pushing down more tears when he touches my hair. "I had no right to force this on you, I am sorry for never considering your feelings. Teach me how to love you, baby, teach me how to please you. I want to be the only man that makes you smile, the only thing that keeps you happy." "You make me happy." How can he not see that? "Why did

HEARTBEAT Chapter 91: Our happy ending
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
HEARTBEAT Chapter 90: Officially Mrs Hale
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
HEARTBEAT Chapter 89: The truth
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
HEARTBEAT Chapter 88: I see the light
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
HEARTBEAT Chapter 87: Mama Lovers
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
HEARTBEAT Chapter 86: My lover sleeps
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
HEARTBEAT Chapter 85: What happened that night
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
HEARTBEAT Chapter 84: He understands
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
HEARTBEAT Chapter 83: Last Card
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
