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 li
Her excitement was palpable, and I couldn’t help but smile as I watched her.Just then, my phone buzzed in my pocket, snapping me out of my reverie and causing a flicker of irritation. It was Hudson. I answered the call, unfortunately.“What?” I snapped, my voice betraying my impatience.“I found s
"How do I look?" Iris asked, standing straight in front of me, her eyes sparkling with anticipation."Beautiful. More beautiful than any flowers in the world," I whispered, gently placing a kiss on her forehead. "Thank you..." Her voice trailed off as she dashed toward the door. But then she paused
I couldn’t help but chuckle, a smug smile curling at my lips. "I gave you an easier solution. Just kill him," I said with a nonchalant shrug of my shoulder."Well, Sherlock, it’s not that simple. He’s a powerful man too," Hudson scowled, his irritation evident."I can still kill him," I added, my t
"You're overreacting. Think with your mind not your dick" Hudson shot back, his words laced with venom and irritation."I mean it, Hudson Lincoln. She's not going back there. Ever," I said, my jaw clenched tightly as I faced him with steely resolve.Hudson’s hand tightened into a fist, his gaze fixe
A deep frown formed on her forehead, her eyes searching mine for answers. "Why?" she asked, turning towards me, her small hand fisting on my clothed knee, the anxiety evident in her touch."You can go to another college but not that one," I added, my voice leaving no room for negotiation.She sat b
"You've also given me so much," I began, but she placed a hand against my lips, glaring at me with an adorably fierce expression."No. I am serious, and I am still your girlfriend, not your wife. So I can't accept it without feeling guilty," she said, pecking my lips softly."So after marriage, you’
A soft, delighted chuckle escaped her lips, and her eyes sparkled with amusement. God! I want to marry this woman.Elijah POV:“What do you mean by she was absent today?” I yelled, my voice echoing off the walls with frustration.Edrick’s gaze fell to the ground, his fear palpable. His shoulders te
Why did I only notice it now?Ace chuckled—low, knowing."Do your work like a good whore," he murmured, his tone silky but laced with steel. "And show me your devotion, brat."He leaned back, and the pressure of his hands, which had been a constricting comfort around my body, vanished. Like a snake
I blinked, my breath hitching, frustration curling inside my chest."Please…" The whisper left me before I could stop it, before I could hold onto my pride. My head dipped down, shame curling my shoulders inward as I bit down on my lower lip. "Just one kiss. Even a peck."Ace clicked his tongue, th
“Don’t expect me to treat you like a good girl till I believe you’re sorry, Iris,” he murmured, his tone dark and taunting.Before I could process it, his thumb shoved past my lips, forcing them apart. My eyes flew wide, a muffled “Hmph” escaping as my hands shot up, fingers digging into his knees
“Sit on your knees.”…What?I froze.My smile slipped, and a soft “Huh?” escaped me before I could stop it.The warmth I’d felt a second ago twisted into something heavier, sharper, and I blinked at him, caught off guard.“You heard me, my sweet whore,” he said, leaning back with a smirk that stretc
I clenched my fists, inhaling sharply before narrowing my eyes at him.This man.This man would kill me.My fingers tugged at my top, pulling it back down as I tried to piece together what just happened.Why did he stop?I gulped, my throat dry, my body still traitorously warm. Ace smirked, draping
I sputtered, fisting my hands.“Boss,” Joy’s voice cut through my humiliation.“Wouldn’t Hudson sir be angry about what you just did to his sister? Should we, uh, step outside?”Ace didn’t even spare her a glance.“No. Stay here and do your work. I’ll do mine,” he said smoothly, like he hadn’t just
And he had the audacity to ignore me?He didn’t even say thank you!I glared at his back.“Boss,” I said, layering my voice with a little too much sweetness. “It’s past your lunch time. You should eat.”Nothing.Not even a glance.Ace continued flipping through his damn papers like I was invisible.
But it was probably not the sparkly, glittering fairy kind. More like the I-make-people-disappear kind.Joy. That’s her name.Wooow.A woman named Joy working at a place where she literally brings pain. “Oh yeah!! I remember now,” Joy exclaimed, her face lighting up like I was her long-lost best f
Damn it, Iris. Play it cool!His gaze didn’t waver. “May I know what you are doing here?”I cleared my throat. “Uh… just… passing by?”He arched a brow.I let out a nervous laugh and gestured to the air. “You know, just… admiring the architecture?”Then, he tilted his head toward the slightly open d
