Author's PovFlashbackCurling up his tiny body in a ball, he squeezed himself further to let the furry jacket provide warmth to him, the snow kept on touching his trembling body as he hissed occasionally because of the bruises that engraved his body. He could hear the painful grumbling in his empty stomach that was forced to starve from the last three days. 10 years old kid was punished for doing a mistake during his training today, he was directed to climb the whole wall but in between his climbing, he skipped a foot due to hunger and fell on the mattress at the starting point. Alvin didn't take his negligence well and dragged him out in the terrible cold asking him to stay in this icy atmosphere for 5 hours straight.Ace stayed kneeling on the floor praying internally for the snow to stop, but seemed like God was against him as well, so taking the help of the worn out leather jacket that was handed to him by Alvin who was about to give it for charity, he tried harder to provide hi
Author's Pov"Why don't you marry me?" This froze the woman he had cornered, Aurora's breathing accelerated and body went numb staring in his dead serious steely gaze trying to find any mock or humor in them but nothing! They were as usual dark and serious."What?" She whispered trying to make him come out whatever the trance he was in, did he know who was in front of him? The woman he hated the most! Then why would he being in his full senses would ask her to marry him?Ace softened his muscles a bit as he leaned his body down covering her tiny frame completely, his bulky arms completely covered whatever the chance she might had to escape him, he gazed intensely in her wavered blue spheres taking her aback, this man hated her beyond the limit and she knew then why his gaze seemed so different from hatred? He didn't seem angered by her or mocking her in any way, he looked in a daze."Why? Don't want to marry a dog?" Her body flinched hearing his venomous words, her eyes saddened insta
Author's PovAurora stared at the wall with anxious gaze before rubbing her forehead in pure distress, she had no idea why she had to take such am impulsive decision. Closing her eyes she steadily let her body lay on the bed before letting the memories of few hours torment her beyond the limit. She knew she shouldn't had given her words to him in haste but the moment she heard him claiming to marry that vile woman she couldn't hold herself back. Aurora knew somewhere in the past she was like Bree as well but in present she could accept the fact that she didn't have any expectations of getting anything in return from Ace.She just wanted to love him unconditionally like he once did, she considered herself unworthy of the respect and affection he gave her in the past, and it was an irreversible fact that Bree could never bring the lost Ace back. That greedy woman was marrying him because of two reasons, one because he was the ideal bachelor all the rich ladies wanted and she would find
Author's PovAurora nervously fidgeted with her fingers clutching her dress slightly in mixed emotions, she knew she had accepted to marry him but now when the time to fulfil the promise she made came she couldn't help but feel the wave of terror and nervousness bite her heart viciously. Two men seated in front of her added to her horror, one was the lawyer who held the papers that required her signs while the other cold man kept his unblinking gaze fixated over her. She gulped glancing at the steely man before looking at the laywer who didn't dare to look in her way from the time he entered the house.Aurora had gotten used to this, no one in this house dared to look at her except for Ace, he was the sole person who stared at her while the rest of the men or women working here were strictly prohibited to do the same. She gulped watching the papers in the lawyers hand and she couldn't help but hear the terrible drumming of her heart against her ears at the thought of changing her lif
Author's PovAurora blinked opened her eyes before letting the darkness of the room engulf her senses, she gulped pushing her body upwards as she looked around her. She knew whose room it was, this wasn't the first time she woke up in this room, in his bed. The day she fainted after the traumatising experience with the scorpion in the dungeon she woke up the next day in his room as well.She gulped looking around while silently blinking her eyes, she feared seeing him here and why not? He had already given her unfiltered warning that they will start a clear and proper married life even though he married her only to torture her but she still had to fulfil all the obligations of his wife.Aurora didn't want him to possess her body before she would reveal the unrealistic truth she was sure of him not knowing. She clutched the bedsheets feeling her heart drumming in her ears when the door of the room slightly parted letting his dark aura spread all over the place. The only source of light
Author's Pov"Do you like this one or the previous one?" The excited woman asked the emotionless man who didn't even spare her a single glance and kept his blank steely gaze fixated over the newspaper he had been reading from the time they entered this shop."Buy whatever you want, everything is fine." Ace as usual the one liner man finished her smile who was eagerly waiting for him to give his opinion but even glance in her way but nothing.Even if she disliked the lack of attention the most yet she couldn't blame him or vent her anger out on him, she knew he had already warned her why he was getting married to her? He just needed to shut the people who had been after him to get married, he just needed to have a trophy wife nothing else. This wedding had everything except for love and compassion. Bree knew she was getting everything she had always dreamed of, the man she was obsessed with, the richest and dangerous man of the country and most likely the man who once rejected her, sh
Author's PovTriggering warning: Manipulative intimacy and little mentions of violence.Mature content aheadHer breathing accelerated when Ace stood up walking near the tensed woman, the dagger in his hand didn't do any justice to her fear, she watched how his slender fingers kept on playing with the sharp edge of the knife and each time she thought of him getting hurt he would prove her wrong by skillfully getting away from it on time.He didn't stop in front of her instead he circled around her pausing behind her adding to her terror, her grip ove the dress increased feeling his warm breathing hitting her earlobe as he leaned down to her level. Moving his dagger from right hand to left he skimmed his right arm around her waist before jerking her body against his earning a small gasp from her."You know I always thought of this moment in the past," Again the fear she felt started replacing with utmost guilt when he mumbled those hurtful words and the man didn't pause."I always thou
Author's PovMature Content aheadHer body jerked up and down with each powerful thrusts the man made making her fragile body lay limply under him, the ripped cloth of her wedding gown wrapped around her eyes was soaked attached to her closed eyes because of continuous crying. Yet the tears still didn't give up and kept on streaming down wetting her hairline."Ughh!" She moaned loudly letting her voice come out mixed with several emotions. She was tired, drained and extremely exhausted with his God knows how many hours attempt of quenching his thirst for her body.Her throat was dry and hurting with all the screaming he forced her to let out, she couldn't even let out a single word of protest as she knew the more she begged for him to have mercy on her the more it ignited his beast to go harder on her. Her wrists were still tied clamped by his large one as he had them pinned over her head while moving his hips widely against hers.Ace after breaking her virginity didn't give even a se
Author's PovAurora jumped in her place getting startled when her body was wrapped up by large arms cradling her in his warm embrace, after a few seconds her tensed muscles relaxed against him as he tightened his grip over her tiny frame. Aurora smiled raising her eyes to the mirror in front of them reflecting their hugging bodies but Ace didn't meet her eyes, he simply buried his face in her crook closing his eyes."What happened?" He shook his head nuzzling deeper in her crook but Aurora noticed his unusual stance, she frowned palming his wrapped arms watching him carefully through the mirror."Tell me," She pressed caressing his bare tattooed arms with her gentle fingers making the man pull his head up and meet her concerned gaze."Jade is pregnant, Sameul just told me." He whispered making Aurora smile widely as she giggled slightly in happiness."Oh my God! That's so great! Finally after 4 years of wait, they are going to have a child. Jade must be so happy!" Aurora's smile made
Author's PovThe sunrays radiating from the messy hut made the woman nestled in bare men's arms twisted a bit before opening her eyes, she felt a shiver wearing down her spine as her bare legs were attacked by the cold wind of the sunny day after a thorough thunderous rainy night. Her tired eyes steadily raised up meeting with the smiley grey ones.She blinked a few times and reality fell on her, she was cuddled in his oversized shirt which he was wearing last night, she had nothing on her body except for his shirt, Ace also was wearing just his shorts and nothing else but the unusual warmth radiating from his body kept both of them warm and away from the cold atmosphere. She surprisingly didn't shy away but instead nuzzled her face in his bare chest closing her eyes making the man tighten his hug, Ace enjoyed the peaceful moment while hugging her closely, it was hard for him to find himself fall asleep last night especially at how he made love to her almost at midnight. And even aft
Author's PovMature Content AheadAce felt a slight shiver in his body when the tips of her fingers gently caressed the lineage of his scars, he noticed her eyes turning teary as she glided her finger over the nasty scars while tightening her grip on his shoulder by her other hand, she did see his scars before but never clear before until that night. And never this close, they were right before her eyes looking so painful yet the strength he withhold left her wanting to erase the pain he once went through.Ace leaned down and let his warm lips fell on her eyes kissing her tears away, his kisses were so soft and gentle that it made her close her eyes letting a few tears drip down to her temple, she let out a shaky breath feeling his lips kissing her cheeks before planting pecks all over her jawline leaving no space alone on her face until he reached her neck.The man didn't unleash his hunger right away instead he took his sweet time snuggling in her crook holding her closer, Aurora wr
Author's Pov"What? You should blame yourself, you kept on running away I had to follow you so you wouldn't be alone and in doing so I lost the track of the way." Ace defended himself while raising his hands, Aurora was left speechless, somehow she knew he was right, if he had left her alone she would have definitely stuck here alone.She looked down apologetically before biting her lower lip, "You're right." She admitted solemnly making the man in front of her a bit surprised at her acceptance and then he cleared his throat nearing her."Don't worry OK, we can find a way out." He carefully touched her cheek making her look up in his bright grey eyes before nodding her head."Yes, even I remember a little where I came from." Aurora was so angry and drowned in jealousy that time that she didn't care to look at the signs while crossing the way but she still remember a little."I also remember a bit, we came from that side." Ace pointed at the left side but Aurora was a bit skeptical, she
Author's Pov"How are you?" Aurora questioned the timid woman seated in front of her, she gulped making her glance at her for a second before her gaze again dropped down."I am good, how about you?" Jade mumbled looking a little hesitant and trying to sound casual but Aurora knew it wasn't easy to revive the good bond they shared ten years ago which was basically based on lies and betrayal."Better, a lot better than before." Jade smiled softly nodding her head, her fingers trembled around the warm cup of coffee, she had no idea how to start the conversation especially when it was her who called her here.Jade asked Sameul for Aurora's number and after calling her, she invited her for a cup of coffee, somewhere Aurora also knew what she wanted to talk about but she still didn't want to push her. She already had heard about the trauma she went through from Max's hands years ago, she always despised Jade in the past for her lies but after realising that she wasn't any better than her. J
Author's PovAurora after removing her coat, shoes, and muffler went to the kitchen to make the coffee for both of them, she left the coffee to brew in the machine and went to wash her hands when suddenly her breath hitched feeling a massive frame towering behind her. She gulped when he leaned his face closer to her cheek almost cornering her lifting his hand forward."W-What are you," Her words were cut off when he moved his hand and turn the running tap off, she gulped as he whispered mischievously in her ears."You shouldn't waste water." She bit her lower and tried escaping his arms but the moment she tried to side walk him, he palmed the aisle trapping her completely leaving no chance for her to leave him.She gasped out clutching the counter when he buried his face in her crook taking her aback, "You wanted me to kissyou then, but I wanted more, and now i will fulfill both of our wishes." With that he placed a soft peck over her neckline making her throw her head back.The sensa
Author's PovAurora walked out of the cafe only to find a familiar frame leaning against his car looking like a model as usual, her colleagues, her boss and even a few customers asked her who this fine man was? Aurora hesitated but remembering her promise and determination to start afresh with him, she accepted that he was her boyfriend. Her boss knew about him and even asked her why she was still doing the job when her boyfriend was this wealthy? She didn't want to reply, but did eventually, she never agreed to date him for his money. No one knew their painful history and she had no mind of revealing it to anyone. Hugging the coat near her body she walked towards the stubborn man, she told him many times to not pick her up like this but he never listened, he always uses the excuse of her being his girlfriend to do as he wished."Shall we?" He muttered opening the passenger door for her but she suddenly smirked at him playfully shaking her head."Do you know I am used to walk back to
Author's PovThe silence fell in the hallway after he completed his words, Aurora was still crouched down in front of him while Ace averted his gaze away from her fearing her reaction. Ace knew he didn't have any right to make the decision on her behalf but he knew how much kids meant to Aurora, she used to talk a lot about having children who would look like her, and he didn't want to snatch this right from her just to make her come back to him."Are you stupid?" Her sudden remark made him snap his head towards her, he met her confused gaze and slightly angered expressions."Why would you think that I wouldn't want to be with you just because the probability of you having children is low?" He blinked a few times releasing the caged tears as she sighed heavily before raising her hand to wipe his cheeks."What did doctor say?" He gulped before mumbling softly."He said that the chances of I having children is almost none, maybe a miracle but from his experience it's better if I don't h
Author's Pov"Just tell her already, why are you making decisions on her behalf?" Sameul snapped at the nonchalant man seated on the couch with his head bowed down looking disheveled, his hair messy, clothes unironed from and eyes bloodshot like he hadn't sleep for years. He steadily raised his empty gaze to the glaring man, "I am doing it for her, its for the best, she doesn't deserve to suffer with me, she already had enough." Sam huffed rubbing his temple in annoyance."I never liked her in the past after what you went through and she was one of the reasons but after keeping eyes on her for such a long time I know one thing, she loves you, so much that I don't think she can ever move on, you're just hurting her and yourself. Being truthful is what you should do and let her decide what she wants." Ace stubbornly shook his head flapping his hand as he motioned the frustrated man to get out.Before Sameul could say anything further, someone entered the house with her meek steps, she
