Ace POV:When I woke up in the morning, I felt like a complete idiot.I really thought I fucked anyone while drunk.But a relief flooded through me as I saw my Mini standing in front of the dressing table, scowling at the dogs in her usual manner.She then mentioned that I had come to her room last
I'd mentioned about the party countless times, yet she never brought it up herself.Was she deliberately ignoring my hints, or was she truly oblivious?As I meticulously tucked my black shirt into my ironed pants, my gaze fixated on my girl through the reflection in the mirror.I recently decided to
"People will always talk. If you listen, then you can't live, bambi," I sighed, pressing a tender kiss to her cheek."No..." she objected firmly, her resolve evident in her voice.I stood up and straightened my dress."I want my girl to be there. Not for others. For me. Because I want to tell everyo
"Yeah," I replied, my curiosity piqued."The police have taken Elijah into custody for that case. It's not confirmed, but he's a suspect," he said, his gaze distant as he processed the information."Whoa," I blurted out, my mind racing with implications.Now, I was definitely going to keep my Mini a
Walking aimlessly from the crowded place, I found myself standing in front of a restroom.The chaos of the party fading into the background, as I closed my eyes, I took a deep breath, trying to quell the storm of emotions raging within me.Positive thoughts, Ace. Good thoughts.But beneath the facad
"For what?" I inquired, my movements deliberate as I retrieved a length of rope from the closet, my gaze fixed on her.My hands are enough for her ass."Um... for... not coming to the party with you," she admitted, finally meeting my gaze.A deep sigh left my lips as I saw her eyes, which felt like
She quickly turned around, pressing herself against the headboard, her expression guarded.As I observed her face, a pang of hurt spread through my chest.Her cheeks were stained with tears, her nose and lips tinged pink from crying.With her hands still tied, she rubbed her eyes and sniffled loudly
Ace POV: "Didn't I tell you to throw it in the dustbin?" I queried, with a hint of annoyance."Ace, I know he abandoned you when you needed him most, but he might not have had a cho—" I raised my hand to silence him."Just leave it there and go," I instructed, redirecting my attention to the comput
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
