Author's PovHearing his words, Aurora's breathing paused for a second as she had no idea why his words seemed to have double meaning, his poker face, blank eyes and pale complexion wasn't helping either, she couldn't find anything by inspecting his looks. In the past, Aurora used to guess what Ace must be thinking or feeling just by one glance in his eyes and it frustrated her sometimes at how he was like a open book when it came to her. But now, he indeed had learned the art of masking his expressions, even from her."Ace," He blinked once before tilting his head slightly watching her wordlessly, he knew she wanted to ask something and his silence told her to go ahead."Will you ever let me go?"

Author's PovAurora nervously stepped in the house where she was sent by Ace for her protection. Russia. The moment she reached here, her mine automatically started seeing the difference between Ace's and this man's lifestyle. Ace owned a wide built and luxurious mansion in an isolated place while this place couldn't be called as a mansion. It indeed was big and had every possible feature that Ace's mansion possessed but it still was far more smaller in comparison with the mansion.The only similarity was, it also was situated in an isolated space, she was escorted inside by the stoic looking butler, she had noticed something, both of these men hated keeping female servants.
