Author's PovShe held her breathing back when the steely eyed man stared blankly yet with unsaid plan which would be nothing but maybe harmful for her, pleasurable for him. She gulped feeling his finger trailing to her chin as he gently tugged it upwards letting him have a good sight of her misty ocean eyes, her bright eyes were surrounded by redness because of her breakdown a while ago, then she realised.This man didn't do anything to her after she slapped him, the fear gripped her and all her bravery started fading, but more than scared she was confused. He didn't care about the slap but he still hadn't let the matter of her harming herself go even after so many days. A light redness was still evident on his tanned flesh which her hand granted him, she internally cursed herself for losing her mind that way."I-I slapped you?" More than a statement it felt like she was questioning, Ace's lips tilted up slightly in amusement, people would always try to make him forget their mistakes
Author's PovFlashback "I don't understand, why do you want me to introduce you to Aurora?" Jade questioned the young man seated in front of her, she was cladded in a bath robe while the man was only covered with shorts.He raised his sharp black eyes to her before letting out a snicker, "That's my business, tell me if you're willing to help me or not?" Jade bit her lower lip watching the young man with intented gaze.She had no idea why he wanted to approach Aurora but she knew once he met her he might not want to be with Jade again, how would she even confess to him that how deeply she was in love with this man. She knew they had met just a few months ago but his care and attention towards her that filled the void present in her heart, she badly wanted to be with him but she also was scared.She knew Max hated clingy women, he hated being coaxed and followed by anyone he strictly had a physical relation only. He also warned her the first time they had sex that he had no intention t
Author's PovAurora sighed heavily before staring at the food in front of her, after her return from the hospital Ace had instructed the butler to give her double of what she used to eat. She could feel her body had gained a little weight compared to before as she had been eating way too much than her usual routine.After her father lose everything, Aurora took the initiative to learn how to cook as she knew her father couldn't afford the cook or the servants anymore, she still had several burn marks on her hand and fingers of that time, even though they had turned lighter in the shade but hadn't faded away. She never was attentive to them or try to get rid of the scars until one morning she found her husband wearing a deep frown carefully applying something on her fingers and back of the hand.That day she saw the glimpse of Ace she knew once, the same look of disdain when she used to get hurt, the same frown whenever he tried treating her injury even though he wasn't aware of her wa
Author's PovGazing at the bracelet laid on his palm the man went for another sip letting the toxic substance present in the glass burn his insides but it brought no response from him, there was nothing in this world that could bring out of his emotions except for that one woman, she held the power no one in this world could, not even the barely dressed seductive dancers in the room.They were desperate to get his attention bestowed on them but his steely gaze was stuck over the worn out bracelet laid there unmoving. It had been days, or maybe weeks when he got to know that what he had for years wasn't one sided, she did love him, or maybe loves him, how could she love in this situation they were trapped now? Why after everything he still couldn't see hatred in her eyes for him? He hated her didn't he? Maybe to determine his heart in order to hurt her he hated her for a time being, but why couldn't he as well look at her with the same hatred he had worn himself out in these ten years
"Can you stop looking at me like that?" The flustered woman said as she felt several sparks of nervousness hitting her because of the suspicious narrowed eyes gazing at her like she was some kind of bomb and will burst anytime. Ace tilted his head slightly before spinning the pen cradled in his fingers, this woman right in front of her was actually presenting a peace treaty. He knew whatever had happened to her in these years might had finally opened her eyes but again, her loyalty with that bastard was too strong for the last 15 years to actually believe her words."Jade Maxton Corvin, you really think I will trust you?" Jade let out a tired sigh, her soft eyes yet the helplessness and pain behind them didn't go unnoticed by the hawk eyes of the man seated in front of her."I understand why you don't want to trust me, and you have every reason to not," She paused before pulling a knife out of her bag which alerted Sameul who was standing right behind her, he was about to snatch it a
Author's PovHardly detaching her eyelashes, the badly aching eyes of hers finally parted letting the dim light of the room blind her burning eyes for a few seconds before her vision got cleared. She moved her swollen gaze around the room only to find herself laid on the dirty old bed, she coughed once again touching her throat, that gas was venomous. The side affects were still present in the form of terrible ache in her throat and eyes.Pushing her weak body in a seating position, she let herself examine the whole place until the memories started flashing before her mind, tears instantly welled in her eyes remembering the name her father took before she lost her consciousness. She shook her head taking deep breaths, she still wanted to delude her mind with a false hope that her father wouldn't do that, he just wouldn't.Max had attacked her twice in those two years and one it was right in front of Alvin, he had almost choked her to death if it wasn't for the loan sharks who started
Author's Pov"Marriage?" She whispered making the man sigh in frustration, he was confused and annoyed by her lack of corporation, she always did whatever he asked her to right away, it was the first time she actually resisted his order."Aurora, I am doing it for your own good, understand it, that bastard is torturing you just to take revenge on me, divorce him, and when you will become someone else's wife, he wouldn't be able to do anything!" She drank her tears back before watching her father with a rebellious gaze as she took a step back."You say he's taking revenge on you by using me, and you're going to take revenge on him for the torture by using me, so what's the difference?" Alvin's eyes flickered in alert as he didn't expect her to actually see through his facade, did she really for the first time realised what his real intentions were behind those sweet words?"Aurora, my princess. I am not using you, I am doing it for your betterment." He used his usual soft and gentle ton
Author's PovShe yelped when again the same way Max threw her in her father's feet like that man earlier did, she hissed feeling terrible pain erupting her spine, if she kept on being thrown like this, her back will surely break. Alvin instantly tried to help her but Max was fast enough to yank her up by holding her arm, he pulled her closer making her snap her eyes to his blank ones. Her eyes for a moment fell on the annoyed guy who was supposedly chosen by her father to replace Ace, she glared at him making him narrow his eyes at her audacity, if he thought she was going to behave like an obedient slave then he was wrong, only Ace had the power to bent her to submission, Max had tried many ways to push her on her knees in front of him but when she never was obedient to the man who wouldn't mind taking her life in a snap then who this man was?"Papers," Max ordered making the evil eyed man held the crushed papers in front of him, Aurora bit her inner cheek in disappointment, she sho
