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
Author's PovAce was the first one to leave a sharp cut over Max's arm as he skillfully moved around avoiding the raging man's attack leaving the injury behind. Max hissed slightly before raising his eyes to the blank steely eyed man who moved his gloved fingers over his bloodied dagger wiping the freshly painted blood off. Max clenched his jaw when he found a tint of disgust in Ace's eyes while trying to clean off his blood."That's it?" Max provoked the beast who snickered lowly glancing at his wife who stared between the glaring guys still sat on the ground where Max had pushed her to."Move back." Ace's nonchalant voice echoed in her ears as she without any protest followed his instructions and scooted away from the hall which has now turned their battlefield. After she obeyed him, Ace turned his hawk eyes towards the narrow eyed man who looked beyond amused yet the hint of resentment he bore for the duo was there."I thought you were better than this, Maxton," Ace said gaining Ma
Author's PovAce stared at the door wanting to turn the knob of it and barged in but something was stopping him. His stiffened frame silently heard the water rapidly running making him sigh heavily, he knew his wife was once again trying to find solace in the lonely cage she had trapped herself for the last two days.It had been two days Alvin died, the fall crushed his brain and he died on the spot, as expected his death was declared a drug overdosed which became the headlines of only a day. Ace and Aurora were the only people who knew the truth behind Alvin's death, there was no way for Aurora to overpower Max as no authority would dared to go against him, but Ace had. Ace was equally influential and powerful as Max but the bitter hatred he bore for Alvin didn't let him to try to give that bastard any justice. He didn't care how he died, his only concern was attached to this woman who hadn't cried once after her father's death, she was trying to lock away her emotions but Ace knew
Author's Pov Flashback Ace and Max were just a few months apart, their bond and entanglement was weird, they both were left at the orphanage the same day making them to share the same birthday, they were even kept in the same room and were taken care by the same people who raised them together. Ace's parents supposedly died and he was left on the door of the orphanage, he tried to find his family for years when Alvin took him in but he never was successful and eventually he gave up.While Max had a different story, he was a result of a night stand and his mother didn't want him, she was asked to abort him by Max's father but due to her bad health, she was advised to give birth to him as abortion could risk her life, so naturally she gave birth to him and left him at the gate of orphanage. Max's father was alive and he actually appeared in his life years after, but not as a father.Ace and Max shared everything with each other from the time they started understanding the meaning of f
Author's PovFlashback ContinuesAce sighed heavily taking a seat on the bench before palming his forehead. Rejected, again. He was again refused by the scorpions, as per the person he approached told him that their boss never took anyone under 20 in their gang. He had been trying for months to get in that gang but to no avail, even after his training they refused him.Ace wasn't scared of Alvin knowing about him trying to approach the scorpions as he knew Scorpions were far more powerful and confidential than him, they never revealed any of their men's information, so he knew Alvin would never get to know it, he just needed to join the gang after that he would leave Alvin and his mansion for good, the only person he would have a contact would be his girlfriend, Aurora as she already told him that she had talked with her father about them so he wasn't worry about it after all he was doing it for her and his brother. In front of scorpions Alvin wasn't even an insect, his underground b
Author's PovFlashback ContinuesAce clutched his stomach as another wave of pain hit him but this time it was mixed with the heartache he felt watching his little brother looking at him with utmost hatred, Ace wasn't familiar with watching these kinds of emotions in Max's eyes. He looked lost, destroyed and evil. It felt like he was a completely different person than the one he once knew."Don't look at me like this, don't look at me like you're the one being wronged here!" Max retorted thrusting his face closer to Ace's bloodied ones as he motioned his men to leave him which they did. Ace's aching body waved almost falling on the ground after the support left him but Max was fast enough to catch him, Ace's body fell against his little brother’s as Max held him like he was hugging him. Ace closed his eyes tears gathering in his eyes, 9 years! He hadn't seen his brother for nine fucking years and when they finally met Max hated him due to a mere misunderstanding! "M-Max, my brother
Author's PovFlashback Continues Ace's body was buried in the same barren land he was almost driven to death by his brother, but his time on earth wasn't supposed to end that time.

Max had nearly 10 people guarding him and they were only three, freshly trained and no professional experience to deal with them. He knew that cut wouldn't kill Ace but the lack of air could.Just a second they left, all the three of them ran
