It was probably the first time that the three of us went out to lunch together out of our own free will. It was strange but after spending months working together, we had never gone out to lunch together in our free time. The tense atmosphere that seemed to drift around us as we sat down together at the table in the center of the restaurant was clear evidence of that fact. The restaurant was busy since it was lunchtime and I had never been so thankful to have all the other tables filled with people before. I had a feeling that the awkwardness between the three of us would just get worse had we been the only patrons in the restaurant on that day. “Umm…should we order?” I asked hesitantly after we had been staring at our menus for a while in silence. It wasn’t like I had made up my mind about what to order but that was the only thing that I could think of to break the silence. At that point, I didn’t think that it mattered anymore what I ordered for lunch because I was sure that I wa
There were many large office buildings in the area and people take lunch break around the same time of the day, so it was to be expected and I had nothing to complain about. Just getting to have a proper lunch with my colleagues already felt great. Although it started off as quite a big challenge, I think that the lunch ended decently well, and I was kind of glad to have lunch with Richard. Maybe I could get closer to him and learn more from him just as Ace had suggested when he staffed me on this project. We were very close to the office when I felt my phone vibrating in the pocket of my suit. One look at the screen and I found out that the call was from Ace. My first thought was that the call might be about something urgent at work and that made me answer the call immediately. “Ace?” I said his name questioningly. “Where are you?” he asked, and his tone felt rushed. “Umm…” I murmured. “Where are you right now?” he repeated his question, this time with more urgency than before.
Our little lunch outing had quite an unexpected ending. The two men began talking about something related to the crowd in front of the building but what they said was lost to me as I began to worry more about Ace. “I should get going. I’ll see you guys later,” I said as I took a step away from them. “Right, good luck with your errand,” Jeremy said before flashing me a smile. “Thanks,” I thanked him before turning to nod at Richard. Without any hesitation, I turned and walked away from them and away from the office. I had no idea what was going on and I was scared, confused, and extremely worried. Despite all that, I realized that if Ace had bothered to give me a call while all this hell had broken loose, then the best that I could do for him was to follow his instruction and as soon as possible. I walked away as fast as I could as I controlled my urge to turn back and stare at our office building. My hand clenched around my phone tightly as I prayed for Ace to be fine. Although I
Turning on the television just made matters worse. Live broadcasts on the television and on social media channels were not difficult to find and I could watch the situation in front of my office building. It had been a while since I got home but the crowd had not thinned and there were no signs of anyone coming out of the building to address the crowd. The building’s security team was present to control the situation but that was it. I wondered if Ace was still in the office or if he had managed to use another exit to make his way out. Usually, Ace wouldn’t panic over something like this, but his tone of voice revealed that this matter had shaken him and that made me even more worried than usual. I knew by that time that I was a pro at overthinking and getting paranoid about everything; however, the sickening feeling that developed in the pit of my stomach told me that there was something lurking beneath the surface that no one knew about. What if someone is behind this sudden devel
Although I couldn’t see him, I could imagine Kyle squirming and suffering endlessly through that. While I wouldn’t call myself a sadist, it did amuse me to see him suffer. Unfortunately for him, there seemed to be a very dark spot in my heart, and I must have been a mean person. I could have easily told him something to reassure him, but I didn’t feel the slightest urge to say anything that would ease his pain or worries. “I don’t know anything. Maybe, just like you, I’m just Ace’s plaything. So, he doesn’t tell me much. If you want to know anything, you should just ask your wife...or you can simply just watch the news,” I replied lightly. “Rina…” he growled, and I could feel his anger.A part of me wished that I could see his face at that moment. Even though I knew that I had nothing to gain from his apparent suffering apart from my own satisfaction, I still couldn’t find it in me to help him. “My name is Karina,” I replied coldly. I did wonder what else he had to say to me, but
“I’m sorry that this happened, and you have to worry so much,” Ace apologized softly.His hand moved to stroke my hair while I listened to his steady heartbeat. The regular rhythm of his hand stroking my hair and the sureness of his presence helped to calm me down. “It’s not your fault so why are you apologizing?” I asked as I hugged him a little tighter to me. “We should have been more careful, Elizabeth and I…” he replied calmly. “The photos were of that night when you two came back together, right?” I asked. “That’s right but then there are many others as well. Of course, all of them taken out of context…” Ace said before letting out a sigh that sounded so regretful. I agreed that when taken out of context the photos of them together made them look like the perfect couple. Given the history that they were engaged before, I could understand that people would have biased view when seeing those photos. Photos of them sitting together or just walking side-by-side could be misinter
“She’s not the type to just sit down silently and take it so I’m sure that she’s demanding for the truth from her father as we speak,” he said before letting out a long sigh. “It’s just so hard for me to believe that he would go this far. It’s just crazy…” I complained outrightly. “It may seem so to you but it’s not unusual to get the press and the public involved to apply pressure,” Ace stated like it was completely normal. “But…why would he do that to his own daughter? It’s not going to help with anything, will it?” I asked as I failed to connect the dots together. “He’s probably doing this as a way to pressure Elizabeth to dissolve her marriage…” Ace surmised simply. It can’t be…I hadn’t realized that I had been chewing down hard on my lower lip until a wave of pain shot through my senses. The truth was just too sad for me to accept. I didn’t care about Kyle, but I thought that it was too harsh for Elizabeth to be placed in a situation like that. When I first heard of their p
“I think at his age, he’s more worried about the long-term future of his daughter. He might not be taking such a kind approach but I’m sure that he’s doing what he thinks is best for his daughter,” Ace explained calmly. “I don’t know about that…” I mumbled because I couldn’t quite agree with Ace on that point. I honestly did not like the fact that he seemed to be defending Chairman Chase even if there may be some truth behind his words. My body seemed to be boiling with anger and I knew that most of it was from the fact that Ace was dragged into this as well. The merger was one thing and the issue with Elizabeth was bad enough; however, what probably bothered me the most was seeing people get the wrong idea about my own boyfriend. No matter how hard I tried, I could never fall in love with the idea of people misunderstanding that my boyfriend was in a relationship with someone else. The fact that it wasn’t true did not make the matter easier to swallow. To make matters worse, while
Almost immediately after Aiden was born, we were urged to move back to the city where Aiden could be raised in Ace’s family estate with an army of servants at his service. Naturally, I was against the idea right from the start. Surprisingly, Ace was even more against the idea and made sure that we were not disturbed as we continued to raise our young baby in the comfort of our own home. My mother moved into the house with us to help take care of baby Aiden. Ace fell in love with being a father and couldn’t wait to expand our family even further. Just when Aiden turned one year old, we began another baby-making project which resulted in another pregnancy not so long after. Roughly nine months later, Aiden became a big brother to baby Katie. Having two children to take care of increased our fun exponentially. By that time, we had our hands really full with the children and struggled to keep up with work at the office. “Maybe I should stop working to take care of the children…” I mumbl
“With pleasure,” I replied with a smile. Everything he did and said to me turned me on so badly. I wanted him so much that I thought that I might go crazy if I had to wait any longer to have him. My hands shook a little as I rushed to unbuckle his belt and unzip his pants. I sucked in a breath as I stared at the thick and throbbing monster that sprang into my hands. His cock was already gigantic and extremely erect. The virile look of his tool made my insides quiver just thinking of all the things that it could do to me once it entered me. “Put it inside you, Rina…” Ace urged in a seductive drawl that made my pussy quiver in anticipation. I knew that he was teasing me, but I found it so temptingly sexy at the same time. His cock throbbed in my hand, and I could feel it getting thicker and hotter. I stroked it up and down teasingly as I observed the look of desire that crept into Ace’s hazel eyes.“Let me help you spread your legs…” Ace offered as he grabbed my thighs and lifted the
The fact that we worked together and lived together gave rise to ample opportunities for us to get it on. At the rate that we were going, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out one day that I had successfully conceived. “Everyone headed home already. Should we call it a day and head home too?” I asked as I approached Ace in his personal office. Work has been quite busy as of late because many projects were due at pretty much the same time. Everyone in the office has been busy and hiring more people to take on the work also meant that there were more people for us to supervise. Time seemed to fly by each time and before I knew it, the sun had set outside, and it was getting dark. Working extra hours slowly became the norm again, although the work was still much more motivating and interesting than ever before. “Are you tired?” Ace asked with a worried look on his face.“Not really. I just don’t think you should work too late,” I replied honestly. “I guess I should stop working now the
“You’re not that old, dad. Surely, you can wait a few years,” Ace said defensively. “It doesn’t matter whether or not I’m old. She’s your wife and this is part of what she needs to do,” he said as he stared directly at me. “Stop pressuring her. Stress makes it harder for women to conceive. Don’t you know that?” Ace asked jokingly, although it was quite true. “Stop taking her side on this one,” his father warned. “She’s my wife, so of course, I’ll take her side. I know that you want to become a grandfather so badly, but you have to be patient. Don’t worry, we won’t disappoint you. We’ll have loads of children,” Ace said while sounding quite happy.I wasn’t sure how to handle the situation, so I was thankful that Ace was covering for me. There was no way that I would bend to the pressure and agree to having a baby right away. The few years that I stated felt like the right timeframe for me and if Ace didn’t have an issue with it, then it felt like enough for me. I have to say that I
I could sense that more trouble was coming our way and that I wasn’t going to quite like what he had to say. “Why do you think your father wants to see us?” I asked in a shaky voice. “You don’t need to be so scared of him,” Ace replied teasingly. “I don’t know…it just feels like there’s something that he wants from us…” I murmured before letting out a soft sigh. “Don’t overly worry yourself over nothing, Rina. We’re married now so I hope that you’ll get used to my dad even if I have to say that he’s not the easiest person to deal with,” Ace said before showing me a smile that I felt was comforting. “He suddenly requested to see us, and we just got back,” I said while still sounding very worried. “Maybe he has good news for us,” Ace said brightly. I highly doubted it, but I didn’t want to voice my thoughts out loud. There was a possibility that Ace might be right but that probably was probably very slim. The main estate for Ace’s family felt as intimidating as ever when we arriv
My body was hungry for even more pleasure, and I couldn’t wait to feel something even hotter and thicker stretching and filling up my insides.“Ace…please…” I begged him as I spread my legs wide for him. I reached up toward him with both my arms invitingly as I kept my pussy spread open to welcome his cock. Ace’s cock looked ready to burst and I knew that he couldn’t wait to shove that massive tool inside of me. “You look so sexy right now,” he complimented me with a look of raw desire in his eyes. “Take me…please…” I begged shamelessly as I held my thighs spread open for him. Ace stroked my pussy lips before spreading them and positioning the thick head of his cock at my entrance. I whimpered his name when I felt the hot heat of his hardness pressing against my pussy. Our eyes met and my insides clenched wildly in anticipation of his entrance. Ace smiled down at me before he thrusted his hips forward and screwed his cock hard and deep into my flooded love cave. “Ahhh!” I cried o
Just like how I wanted to make our wedding unforgettable, I wanted our first night together as a married couple to be unforgettable as well. Ace carried me to the bed and climbed on top of me just after we had arrived at the resort that we would be staying at for our honeymoon. It felt like the sea and all that mother nature had to offer outside could wait for the moment. At that moment, all that really mattered was the fact that we were together. “I want to fuck you already,” Ace confessed in a whisper close to my ear. His words and the way his warm breath tickled my ear sent shivers along my spine and I realized very quickly just how turned on I was already. Ace’s lips moved from my neck to capture my lips in an aggressive kiss that did nothing to hide his desire to have me. I kissed him back just as fervently before parting my lips invitingly for his tongue to delve inside my wet mouth. “Mhmm…” I moaned from the satisfaction of his tongue invading my mouth.My tongue welcomed hi
The guests clapped and cheered but I was so oblivious to them at that moment. All I could focus on was Ace while I cherished this memory that we were making together. It felt like a very bright and wonderful start to our future life as a married couple. The lunch reception that followed was slightly stressful for me given the fact that I didn’t have the chance to meet many people from Ace’s side of the family before. Regardless of my worries, it turned out that everyone was friendly enough even if it was for the sake of politeness. “Just smile, Rina. My bride looks so beautiful today,” Ace complimented me openly. “Thank you,” I replied softly.I knew that he was basically telling me to leave everything up to him and I didn’t mind letting him take the lead on this one. If I had to place my bets on which one out of us was the best at handling his family members, then it would be him and definitely not me. To my surprise, Ace’s father was very active in managing the guests. His conside
To my surprise, Ace was firm with his father so that his business partners would not be on the guest list. At the end of the day, the Chairman had to give his approval for Ace to have his way. I knew that Ace must have done that out of respect for my wishes.The white church decorated with a mix of white and light pastel pink and blue flowers gave off the slightly fairytale vibe that I had in mind. In fact, the set up and decoration looked better than what I could have imagined in my mind. The inside of the church was decorated with the same theme of flowers. “This is better than what I had in mind…” I told Ace honestly. “I’m glad to hear it. Let’s have a wonderful wedding, Rina,” Ace said before showing me a smile so charming that my heart skipped a beat. He reached for my hand and entwined his fingers with mine before giving my hand a soft and encouraging squeeze. I suddenly felt so excited and the wedding that was about to start felt more real than ever. “You’re right. Let’s re
