Author's PovAurora gulped flinching a bit at the loud lightening striking the whole country, she blinked before placing her chin over her laid arm and watching the dark sky through the window of her vast room. Aurora from the time had been staying here didn't see the tall dark eyed man again. He left the first day of her arrival and didn't come back even though he had left many servants for her aid.Ace hadn't contacted her once and even she didn't try to get back to him, she didn't have the courage and determination to do so until today.

Author's PovAce groaned at the pain shooting up his stomach but taking advantage of Max's frozen frame he pulled the gun out of his holster and shot two bullets right into Max's both legs making the man fall on the ground snapping out of his shock. Ace kicked the gun out of his hand and slammed the surface of his foot against Max's chest making him lay flat on his back grunting at the excruciating pain.Ace crouched beside Max who helplessly laid there looking at him with bloodshot eyes, just when he tried moving his arm to attack Ace, he was granted with another shot only sparing his one arm. Max cried losing all the strength to fight anymore, his jet black red eyes met with Ace's empty steely ones making him finally accept his end but a small smirk appeared over his heavily breathing lips."Come on, kill me." Max mumbled looking straight in his big brother's blank eyes, Ace stared at him in silence for a longest time until he finally chuckled shaking his head."You will die, but it
Author's PovThe door of the vast dark room was gently cracked open revealing a timid woman holding a glass in her hand. She leisurely stalked towards the man laid on the bed with multiple IVs attached to his body. He was hardly saved because of the several bullets being inserted in the different parts of his body especially his legs.Ace did a phenomenon job at aiming the bullets in Max's body, his both legs were wasted leaving no chance for him to walk without a support anymore, and a hit over his spine had left him paralyzed waist down, even his one arm wasn't working anymore. He was nothing but a man alive with no life in the crucial parts of his body.Max woke up after one day of staying under the observation and as Jade was still his only relative left no matter what kind of relation they had but all his men only trusted her with their boss.

Author's Pov4 months later The slow and steady wind caressed the tall man's face as he stood on the terrace of the vast Manor watching the bright blue water of ocean swirling around matching the rhythm of the cold wind. The very hue of the water reminded him of those bright blue eyes, whenever he felt like wanting to spent his time in her memories this was the best place for him to accomplish his purpose until he heard the heavy footsteps walking near him.He didn't need to turn around to know who it was, he sighed in annoyance when his peaceful moment was again disturbed by this stubborn man. "Come, have a seat," His deep voice entered the young man's ears who turned to look at him watching him already seated on his usual chair while waiting for the other lad to take his.Holding the crutch in one hand the young man limped towards the wooden chair before hissing a bit as he lowered his body to sat on it. The old man didn't even care to help him and it wasn't like he ever tried to,
Author's Pov"How are you?" Her soft whisper echoed in the empty space with no one to answer her back, the large bouquet of his favourite flowers was placed on the grave the next second as she smiled sorrowfully gulping down her tears."You know yesterday my boss again scolded me for spacing out, she even warned me that if I kept up with this she might had to fire me." She chuckled blinking her red slightly swollen eyes which were the result of her continuous sleepless nights.Her quivering pale fingers caressed the name plastered over the tomb as she gritted her teeth to not cry out, "It's been 4 months, Ace. 4 whole months without you." And even after her all tries a lone tear escaped her eyes watching the grave of her once loved one.Till this day, for Aurora it was so hard to believe that he was no more. Only she knew how she had to push herself to accept the bitter reality that this time, he wasn't coming back. Last time when she lost him, at least there wasn't any grave with his
Author's PovAurora let out a shaky breath letting the fog escaping her lips blurry her sight for a few seconds, she blinked her eyes multiple times freeing the confined tears from her tired eyes. It was impossible! Her gloved hands felt extremely cold and numb at the sight in front of her, for a millisecond she wanted his imagine to disappear when she blinked rapidly to clear her vision but he didn't. He still was standing at the same spot watching her with his unusual soft gaze. That look reminded her of the man she used to know ten years ago.Before she could even hold her legs, they ran on their own towards him forgetting the crutch in his hand. Aurora let out a cracked cry when she reached him and he didn't disappear. She didn't lose his sight, he was here. He really was. That time she forgot everything, her sufferings, pain and how tainted their relationship was. Her broken heart throbbed rapidly once again watching the miracle happening.Her arms came forward wrapping around hi
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
