Iris POV:I anxiously scanned the room, feeling the weight of everyone's attention shifting towards us. "Ali, let's go and talk somewhere else" I pleaded, my voice tinged with urgency. "NO! NO! " She screamed as it dripped with a mix of frustration and fury. "Let everyone see what type of girl you are and your INNOCENT FACADE! " She gripped my arm tightly. My ears felt hot as everyone looked at me. "Ali, you're drunk, please..let's talk privately" I interjected, perplexed by Ali's sudden outburst and aggressive stance. Startled by the sudden appearance of someone blocking my way, a surge of shock coursed through me. What the hell! What is Ares doing here? "Stay away from her, girl," Ares' voice, low and authoritative, cut through the charged atmosphere like a blade. Of course, Why would the guys leave me without a bodyguard? How sweet."Fuck off!" her anger surged forth, her futile attempts to push Ares met with unyielding resistance.He was made of steel. He didn't even mov
Iris POV:"NO!" I exclaimed, my eyes widening in disbelief at his shameless statement.He grumbled in response, his face burying itself into the soft curve of my breasts. The sensation was both intimate and overwhelming, and I could feel the heat of his breath against my skin.A sharp hiss escaped my lips as he bit down gently on my areola, sending a jolt of sensation through me."Ace!" I whined, trying to push his face away, feeling a blend of discomfort and pleasure.He chuckled softly, his laughter vibrating against my chest as he tightened his embrace around me."Ok. Ok. I will not do anything," he murmured, his voice muffled as he greedily rubbed his cheeks against my soft breast. Shameless.We had intercourse like so hard and rough...sex.The evidence of our passion was all around us—my chest was covered in love bites and marks, while his neck bore the marks of my bites.The blanket was a tangled mess around us and we were just..Talking.It was 10 in the morning, and being a Sun
Ace POV:I frowned as I gently shook her body, trying to wake her up.Her forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and her palms were tightly clenched into fists.She was curled up tightly inside the blanket, looking like a little ball of exhaustion.I had been trying to rouse her for the past minute, but she seemed to be sleeping as if she were a sloth, utterly oblivious to the world.It was already past 6:30 a.m., and she was still deep in slumber."Mini!" I called out loudly, my concern evident as I grabbed the blanket and yanked it away from her body.The sudden cold made her eyes snap open, and she squinted at me, breathing heavily as she tried to adjust to the abrupt wake-up call."Ace," her voice came out in a coarse, groggy whisper, still half-asleep.Slowly, very slowly, she sat up and looked at me, her eyes struggling to focus."Good morning," she murmured, her gaze drifting over me from top to bottom as if trying to make sense of my presence."Morning, my sweet Mini," I said,
Ace POV:I rubbed my forehead, sighing deeply."You're not?" Aiden asked, his voice devoid of any discernible emotion."I kill people," I said, letting out a bitter snort, my frustration bubbling to the surface. "But I don't have preferences like only killing girls or only killing boys. That's not how I operate.""Okay, but it involves blood," Su mumbled, her voice barely audible as she expressed her concern.I clenched my jaw, trying to keep my irritation in check."It's not me," I said firmly, hoping to put an end to the doubt."That's comforting to hear," Felix said with a chuckle, trying to lighten the mood.Recently, there had been a series of gruesome killings.College girls from wealthy families had gone missing, only to be found brutally murdered, their body parts dismantled and scattered across the streets, left for animals to devour. "Ace!!!!!" Iris's voice rang out, loud and cheerful, cutting through the grim atmosphere as she burst into the room."Sugarbun, we're still in
Ace POV:“Give her time,” Aiden said, his hand on my shoulder offering a brief, comforting squeeze.I sighed heavily, running a frustrated hand over my face.“Ace, Susan is with her. Just give her some... time,” Hudson’s voice was calm but laced with concern.“She’s fine, just a little shaken from everything,” he added.I groaned, trying to banish the restless thoughts that plagued me. If I hadn’t gone to the cafe, none of this would have happened.But I did go, driven by the fact that Aiden mentioned she was at the cafe with a boy. I want to kill Aiden.Rolling over in bed, I felt a deep sense of frustration. Alex and I had turned the cafe into ashes, compensating the owner generously for the destruction.Hudson had safely escorted Iris to his house, but I hadn't seen her since.She was avoiding me, which wasn’t surprising given the traumatic scene she had witnessed.The sight of her fear-stricken face haunted me, a stark reminder of my failure to protect her from the horrors of my w
Ace POV:I took a sip of my protein shake, feeling the cool liquid soothing my parched throat after the intense workout. The early morning light streamed in through the kitchen window, casting a warm glow over the room.I glanced at the clock on the wall—it was only 6 a.m.I had another important task ahead - waking up my Mini.Suddenly, the kitchen was filled with a burst of energy as Su walked in, her voice bouncing off the walls, "Good morning!".She greeted me with her typical enthusiasm.“Where's Felix?” She asked, preparing a black tea for herself. I merely shrugged, my mind too occupied with thoughts of my Mini to spare any for Felix.“So, how was your sleep?" Su inquired, looking at me with genuine interest. I met her gaze, my expression neutral. "Good," I replied quietly, not offering much else. She nodded understandingly, her smile unwavering. Maybe she didn't hear anything. Well I don't give a fuck if they heard it or not. But my Mini cares. Just then, Felix sauntered
Ace POV:My lips pressed tenderly against her cheeks, the soft kiss a gentle nudge from the peaceful slumber of her dreams to the waking world.A faint whimper escaped her lips as she began to stir. With a groggy sigh, she rolled onto her back, her eyelids fluttering open to meet the soft morning light filtering through the curtains.I slid my hand around her waist with deliberate care, drawing her closer to me.“Such a beautiful girl I have,” I whispered softly, placing a feather-light kiss on her closed eyelids.They fluttered open gradually, revealing eyes that sparkled with a mix of curiosity and tenderness.“It's past 8 a.m” my voice came out barely a whisper. “I am… late,” she said, her voice tinged with a hint of panic as she became more aware of the time.“Yeah, take a day off today. I want to spend time with you. With my little girl,” I murmured, my gaze locked with hers.Her fingers, delicate and gentle, traced the contours of my beard, the touch both soothing and affectiona
Iris POV:I grit my teeth as Alex smacked my head. Again. This was becoming a routine, one that I was starting to dread."Why the hell am I studying algebra?" I whined, the frustration bubbling over. I couldn’t understand why these equations mattered or how they were supposed to help me in life. It all felt so pointless, like trying to solve a puzzle that didn’t have a solution.Alex’s hard eyes peered at me through the thick glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, his expression as stern and unyielding as ever. He was the picture of patience—or at least he tried to be—but I could tell I was wearing him down. There was a slight twitch in his jaw, a sign that his patience was starting to fray.“Because you need to learn to think critically,” he replied, his voice infuriatingly calm, as if that explained everything. He always had an answer, always knew what to say to make it sound important, but I just wasn’t buying it.I pouted, pushing my lower lip out, but I knew better than
