Ace stood before the mirror and stared at himself, a blank expression on his face.He buttons up his shirt and wears his suit jacket before staring at himself once more over his mirror.It was his high school graduation day but he doesn't know how he feels. He has always wanted to get out of here, out of the house, but the opportunity was coming faster than he thought and still he couldn't find the excitement in his heart. He tilted his head back and stared at the ceiling then straightened himself, he turned towards the bed and grabbed his wallet then walked out of the room.He had a lot going through his mind, he understood the reason why his Mother introduced him to Chelsey. It means that she was planning to have them get married which he would never allow, she found out that it wouldn't work out with Kisa now she was trying to force him into another person, and also the fact that his mother was trying to reopen a case that happened 4 years ago.He has been trying to deter any i
Ace and Mike got out of the car and Ace stared at the numbers of cars inside the parking lot and smirked. The students sure we're trying to show off and compete with each other.He shook his head and started walking out of the parking lot with Mike trailing closely behind him.The auditorium was filled to the brim both by the students and their guardians. Ace scanned the place with his eyes, searching for a certain golden hair girl.Immediately he saw her talking and laughing with Anitra Steele and Talia. His jaw clenched and he balled his hand into a fist.He doesn't want Anitra near her."Hey mate." Liam said, coming out of nowhere. Ace stopped looking at Catherine and glanced at Liam."What made you come late?" He questioned and Liam chuckled." My fairy godmother doesn't want me to leave the house, '" Liam responded with a cheerful smile on his face.Ace turned back his attention to Catherine, his eyes staring at her thoroughly. Her golden hair cascading freely down her back. She
Catherine's POV:I didn't know what to do but watch. Ace was holding my hand in an iron grip and I had no idea on what to do. I stood there with an open mouth while watching him."What are you doing here, Ace?" Mrs Hampton asked him, her face as neutral as possible. She wasn't giving anything away. I guess Ace took after his mother. They both have the same personality."I should be the one asking you that question, Mom. What are you doing here?" Ace fired back.Talia glanced at me nervously and cleared her throat."Ace, Mrs Hampton was just talking and congratulating us. There was nothing more to it." She said calmly.Mrs Hampton smiled and turned to face Talia."I'll see you some other time darling." She said and glanced at Ace. "I'll see you back home." She walked out on us and I released a sigh of relief. I didn't know what would have happened if Ace didn't show up. It would have been a disaster. A big fucking disaster.Ace started dragging me with him and my eyes widened. Where
Catherine's POV:I don't know what to do. I couldn't leave the both of them alone, fighting. But I also couldn't go closer to them, I didn't want to get hit. I was torn between two decisions. I didn't know which one to go for or which one to do. I just today stared at them not until Liam wanted to punch Anitra that I had to snap out of my thinking and do something really fast. "What is going on here? What the hell is wrong with both of you! We are celebrating our graduation and here you are fighting! I don't understand what is going on. Why are you guys fighting? " I yelled, my voice rising and lowering at the same time. They separated from each other and Liam glared at me, I don't know what the f*** Anitra must have told him but he seems so f****** angry with me. "What is going on?" I asked this time nervously." You know what I have always been telling us to get you back but seriously it is better this way you are a problem more than you are worth. " Liam said to me and
Catherine's POV:I was hot for him. I didn't even care about any other things at that point, I just wanted him inside me real quick.I quickly unbuttoned his shirt and pushed it down his shoulders, my eyes still fixed on him.He smiled and dusted his fingertip on my lips "You are beautiful." He whispered before yanking the front of my dress down causing my breasts to spill out. He pinched my already hard nipples and I cried out. I needed him so much.He did the same thing again and I gasped loudly, pushing my breast to his face before he took it inside his mouth , sucking and pinching me until I was begging.He released my breath and continued his assault on my collarbone. Jesus.I might just come while he does that.He pulled my dress up to my waist and his hand already between my legs, his hand on top of my coochie.I just needed him to touch me there before I lost it."I can smell your arousal, Butterfly. Are you wet for me?" He asked me, a playful smirk on his lips.I wanted to s
Ace walked inside the house after dropping Catherine off at her house when he got inside he saw his mother standing inside the living room. He wasn't surprised, he knew that she would be waiting for him when he returned."Ace Michael Hampton what was that f****** all about in your school? What were you doing with that girl? What the hell is wrong with you? Why do I keep doing something and you try to ruin it? Why can't you see what I'm trying to do? Why can't you support anything just why? Why are you such a nuisance?" She asked angrily.Ace sighed softly and stopped walking."Okay I don't understand what you are trying to do, so tell me what are you trying to do mother. what is it that you are trying to do if not to send her to jail for something she didn't commit when you didn't know the full story about what happened. You are just bitter towards that girl and it shows and just to be clear I won't let you hurt her ever, I'm going to protect her and before you attack her you will
Catherine's POV:Mom left.She let me make a decision to with follow her to London or wait for two more days before a private jet come and pick me up.I chooses to stay behind.I had to choose, I had to do what I got to do. I couldn't just leave just like that, I have life here I am friends here.I didn't have enough time.it's about time I tell my friends that I'll be leaving, my heart is heavy.I'm hurt.I don't know what to do, I don't know how to go about this, I am very sad, very very sad but I can't do anything about it.But I just can't keep living here in America when I have a home.... a legacy to protect in London.It just can't happen and I hope that my heart realise this and my friends too. I just hope so. It was just me and Margaret and 1 bodyguard that mum left for me in the house, everywhere seems so calm and it's hits me again that mum has left me here all alone, even though I don't blame her it still hurts.I sat down at the poolside wearing a red Victoria secr
Catherine's POV:I was surprised.How and when did he plan this? I was dumbstruck.I glanced at him and he was silently gauging my reaction, his eyes following my every move."This is so sweet of you, Babe." I said and kissed his lips. "Thank you."He smiled and led me towards the table.I loved this.I loved it. I loved everything about this.Ace has been super sweet to me that I don't even know how to react. I don't want to think about that boy that made life hell for me in high school, I want to think about this boy that cared for me and made me. He is everything I ever wanted.He pulled out a chair for me and I sat down. He walked to the other side and sat down on his chair as well.He looked up at me and smiled, his dimple becoming more visible.How could someone be so beautiful? How could he be blessed with the beauty of five people? Just how?He opened one of the plates and I smiled. Bite sized pasta. He opened the second one and my eyes widened, fried chicken? Oh my goodness.
It was the final court hearing of the case between Mr. Alexander Meyers and Mrs. Danielle Meyers.It was a famous case being held on TV screen where everyone can watch it.Veronica Hampton was sitting down on her office, her laptop in front of her as she watch the trial. "Your honor, Catherine Meyers Hampton was loved by my client. He provided for her. Sent her to the best school in the whole of United States of America. If my client had anything else planned for her he wouldn't have let her acquire education. My client is innocent." The defendant attorney claimed."Objection, your honor." Said the plaintiff as he stood up from his chair."Overruled, Defendant, you can continue."Veronica Hampton balled her hand in a tight fist and slammed it on the desk. She grabbed the telephone on her desk and speak into it get inside my office right now, Mereda.A few seconds later she walked inside the office standing in front of Veronica Hampton."You call for me Mrs Hampton." She said and Ver
Ace was laying down on the bed pressing his phone. He had a zoom meeting with his mother and some employees a few minutes ago and he was just intending to get out of the bed.The bedroom door was pulled open and Catherine walked in. She was wearing a black short and a white camisole, her hip length golden hair was packed up in a high ponytail and her face free of make up.“You done with the meeting, Babe?” She whispered asked as she walk into the room. Ace's mouth lifted in a small smile as he tapped his side of the bed for her to sit on.Catherine chuckled at his gesture and slowly walked up to him, she slipped her feet out if her slippers and climbed on the bed. She placed her hand on his chest and stared inside her phone. "How was the meeting?" She inquired curiously.Ace slowly caress her back as she talk to him. The best leisure for him is hearing her talk. Her voice sounds like music to his ear and her touch set his body aflame. The kind of attraction he felt for her was totall
"What happened?" Catherine asked and took the phone from Anitra."Police reject the bail of Chelsey Black." She read out loud and chuckled. "This is mother's handwork."Ace took her hand in his and let out a deep breath. "She deserves whatever Mom will throw her way, she shouldn't have touched you at all.""That is by the way, are you both leaving already?" Anitra questioned and Ace hummed. "We're done for the day." He replied.*****It has been two weeks since Ace and Catherine returned to London and resume college, a lot of things had happened within the two weeks and one if them was that Chelsey Black was fined £100,000 for physically assaulting Catherine Meyers Hampton. Catherine and Ace were done with their classes for the day and we're going to the parking lot, the security team following them at the back. As soon as they got to the parking lot she got a phone call from her Mother."Hello, Mom?" "Hi, Catherine. How are you?" Mrs Meyers asked. Catherine got inside the car and
Ace sat down on the bed beside Catherine and took her hand that has all sorts of wire fixed on it in his hand and sniffed in.“I'm sorry, Butterfly.” He whispered. He should have cut out the bullshits and had Chelsey walked out of the restaurant, but for some time he thought that it was cute seeing Catherine stand up for herself.He had no idea that Chelsey would go to the extent of physically harming her, he never thought of the possibility of such thing happening.The door was gently pulled opened and a nurse walked in. She smiled at Ace and walked around to Catherine's side of the bed. "Good afternoon, Mr Hampton."she greeted him."Good morning, Nurse. " Ace responded calmly. It has been more than 6 hours and Catherine was yet to wake up. It scared him a lot.The nurse checked the drip connected to Catherine's body and checked her body temperature then write it down on her chart.."She will wake up very soon. Don't worry." The nurse told him.He truly hope so.After the nurse left
Ace left for his Mom's room 30 minutes ago and she was still waiting for him to get back to her.The door was pulled open and Ace walked in. Catherine stared at him through the mirror and cocked her head to the side, scrutinizing him as he walked up to her.95Catherine was wearing a lose jeans trouser and one of Ace's t-shirt. She sat before the vanity mirror putting on her lip gloss as some of the servants pull out their luggages.They will be returning to London that same day and she was just getting ready. Ace left for his Mom's room 30 minutes ago and she was still waiting for him to get back to her.The door was pulled opened and Ace walked in. Catherine stared at him through the mirror and cocked her head to the side, scrutinizing him as he walked up to her.“You ready, Butterfly? We don't have much time.” He said as he grabbed his hair brush from the vanity.Catherine packed her make-up kits inside her make-up bag and stood up from the chair, she turned around to face Ace and
Catherine took a deep breath and composed herself before looking up at Ace."Baby." She whispered and stood up from the couch, he walked up to her and pulled her towards his chest, wrapping his arms around her protectively.He kissed her hair and caressed her back slowly. "Is Mom back? Did something happen? Why were you sitting like that?" He inquired." No, I was just feeling a little bit down when you walked in . It's nothing serious." Catherine responded calmly. She gazed up at him and smiled. " How was your day?" "Great, did you have a great time with your mother?" He asked. While they both started walking towards the staircase."Yes, she apologized as expected of her, what about you?" She inquired."Since we will be going back to college tomorrow I thought about spending sometime with them." Ace responded softly, Catherine nodded her head and intertwined their hands."Mother said that she wants us with her during dinner, but first you need to wash up." She told him and winked. "
"I can't believe you Mom, you took such a huge step and you couldn't even tell me about it. What did you take me for? You didn't think about my safety. What if he comes after me without my knowledge? What if Mrs Hampton really didn't find out what you did. What if, Mom?" Catherine questioned angrily when she visited her mother the next day.She was beyond pissed off, Alex is a psychopath he is the kind of person to go to any lengths in achieving their aim, someone who caused the death of his brother and then take custody of the daughter for more than four years before carrying out his plan, someone with such patience and calculative method can do anything, he is sick!"I wanted to tell you about it sweetheart. I just didn't think of telling you immediately, you just got married. I didn't want to spoil your mood. I'm truly sorry baby girl. I don't think of you as a child that shouldn't know about something like this, especially something that can cause you a lot of harm. It wasn't int
After a while in her mother's house, Catherine called Ace to come and pick her up but I told her that his driver will come and pick her up because he would be going somewhere with his mother. After a while Mike arrived to pick her up and she ordered him to take her to Talia's place so that she can go and show Mr Scott gratitude for what he did for her at her wedding. "I wasn't able to congratulate you for your marriage yesterday because there were lots of people." Mike said and glanced at Catherine through the mirror. "Congratulations on your wedding..... Mrs Catherine. Sorry, I don't know if I can use 'Mrs Hampton' for you."Catherine laughed softly, her hand covering her mouth. "It's okay, Mike. Thank you for your kind words and you can call me, Catherine. I don't mind."Mike nodded his head and the journey continued silently.When they got to Talia's house the gate was pulled open and Mike drove in. Mike came down and opened the car door for Catherine. When she stepped down from
Catherine and Ace got out of the black Lamborghini after driving inside her mother's compound. She glanced up at the mini mansion in front of her and she couldn't help but smile."Let's go." Ace said, he intertwined their hands and led her towards the front door. When they got inside Mrs Meyers was sitting down on a couch, watching a news station on the TV."Mom." Catherine called, Mrs Meyers raised her head up and her face lit up in a smile, she was hoping to go to the Hamptons mansion later in the day with her gift but good enough they came around instead."I was planning to come to the mansion later." Mrs Meyers said as she stood up from the couch, she kissed Catherine's cheek and hugged her son in-law."Ace insisted that we come this morning," Catherine replied and rolled her eyes playfully at him, " How are you doing? I couldn't see you yesterday since we both retired to the bedroom early." When they went inside the house the other night they both took their shower and slept off
