“Ace…” I called his name softly as I approached him.

I stood up on my tiptoes and placed a sweet little kiss on his lips. Ace seemed slightly surprised, but he did end up smiling charmingly my way. That felt like one of the best rewards that I could ever have asked for.

“Good luck at work. I’ll be seeing you soon…” I told him with a smile.

“No need to rush yourself too much. There’s still time,” he replied.

“Should I get you coffee or something when I get in?” I asked.

“No need. Let’s hope that we can get some proper lunch instead…” he replied as he headed for the door.

I watched as Ace left and the door closed behind him. Being left alone in his place felt slightly lonely and for a moment I had the urge to quickly get dressed and rush to the office. Instead, I took Ace’s advice to take my time and relax a little. I did wake up too early in the morning so I did happen to have some time on my hands. I wondered how Julianna and her team were fairing after what appeared to be quite

    “I’m fine. Thank you. How is everything going?” I asked. Julianna must have been referring to the fact that I had to leave the party early. In all honestly, I was as fine as I could be physically. Emotionally, the problem that I was facing wouldn’t be over until this project was over. In a sense, I was just a victim of time and Ace’s merciless attempt to keep everything from me. “So far so good. It could have been better…” Julianna mumbled before biting on her lower lip. “What’s the matter?” I asked as I suddenly felt like something was off. “Julianna’s just not happy with the viewing stats. There’s nothing to worry about yet, it’s still morning…” Ace replied calmly. I turned to see him sitting at the head of the table in a relaxed manner. It didn’t seem like I missed out on a lot of action early in the morning. Julianna was clearly on edge but I was sure that a major part of that was due to her high expectations of everything rather than the actual performance of the commercial.

    “What happened?” I asked Jeremy in a whisper.Out of all the people in the room, I felt like Jeremy seemed most ready to talk to me and to update me on what was going on. Jeremy turned to me before heaving a sigh. “The numbers came in regarding the donations and let’s just say that they’re not great…” Jeremy disclosed with a distressed look on his face. “But I thought…” I murmured before trailing off.“The other stats are fine. Views and all that. The initial scoring isn’t bad either but donations are very flat…” Jeremy said before urging me to take a seat next to him. I did just that and then he turned his laptop screen my way to show me the report that was opened on the screen. My eyes quickly scanned the report before stopping at the chart that showed the donation amount. Just as Jeremy had just told me, the chart was pretty much flat and that was a big problem. “Do we know why?” I asked as I felt my brows knit together in a deep frown. “Not yet. Julianna and everyone is tryin

    “I see…” I murmured.There’s just got to be something that I can do. Something more than just sitting around and waiting…“Where are you going?” Jeremy asked.Without knowing where I was going, I had already stood up from my seat. I felt so useless just sitting there in the war room without knowing how to help the team. Maybe Ace felt the same way and that was why he got up and left. “I’m not sure…” I mumbled an honest reply. I had no idea where Ace went but if I went after him now, I might be able to catch up to him. With that thought in mind, I headed for the door. Even if I couldn’t find Ace, taking a walk outside or going out to observe the audiences might help. Luck wasn’t on my side, and I couldn’t find Ace on the floor that we were on anymore. After heaving a sigh, I was forced to admit that I had probably lost him, and he had probably headed to another floor in the building. Either that, or he headed out of the office completely. My hand clutched at my phone tightly as I he

    I gasped as I covered my mouth with my hand when I saw Ace’s short message that told me to wait for him where I was because he was going to come over and see me. Instinctively, I turned around and started scanning the crowd of people walking by as if I expected to see Ace among them. He had just sent the message, so it didn’t make sense for him to be here already. Although I knew that very well, I couldln’t stop myself from looking around in search for him as my heart began racing faster in my chest. The moment of excitement quickly past and was replaced by a slight sense of dread when I thought of how unfruitful my attempt was in coming here. Ace would probably ask me questions and I didn’t want to tell him just how useless my attempt had been. My mind quickly raced to think of something to tell him that wouldn’t sound too unimpressive. Some passerby gave me curious looks as they walked past me while I shifted nervously from one foot to another. Time seemed to tick by at a slower pa

    “I guess…” Ace replied vaguely. I nodded my head slightly as I turned to stare up at the large screen. The commercial that we made looked so touching and beautiful up there that it made me feel sentimental about it. I was probably biased and saw more than what was actually there because I could vividly recall the hard work and all that we had to go through just to put that work up there on the screen like that. “Let’s head back to the office,” I suggested after turning to face Ace again. “Are you free for dinner tonight?” he asked invitingly. I stared up into his face as my heart started to race from excitement. He was just asking me out for dinner, but I couldn’t help but feel like it was something major. I was happy for a moment before I realized that with what was going on at work, it may not be the right time for us to go off on a dinner date together. “Umm…are you sure that it’s, ok?” I asked as I hesitated.“What do you mean by that?” he asked as if he couldn’t understand w

    Suddenly, my phone started vibrating on the table in front of me. The vibrations caught Jeremy’s attention as well and that made me quickly grab my phone in my hand. Jeremy’s attention returned to his work while I clutched my phone in my hand as my heart started to race and it wasn’t from joy. It was brief but I was quite certain that I had seen Kyle’s name on my phone screen.Why is he calling me? I told him not to call me anymore and it had seemed that he was doing well on that deal. My brows furrowed together as I stared at my phone which was still vibrating in my hand. Instinctively, I started to feel extremely guilty, and my eyes glanced over at Ace who was sitting at his usual seat at the head of the long meeting table. I couldn’t help but wonder what Kyle was calling me about; however, there was no chance in hell that I would answer a call from Kyle right in front of Ace while my other colleagues were sitting with me in the same room. I must have been staring at Ace for a whi

    “Sometimes, I just wish that he would be a little more encouraging…” Julianna hissed a complaint. I laughed a little at her as she rolled her eyes. Ace did not respond and the team went back to work. Jeremy made some comments and suggestions here and there while I made some suggestions of my own. I looked forward to seeing how things will turn out tomorrow. Hopefully, things will turn around for the better and we would see some outstanding results. Now that I felt a little at ease that there would be some kind of progress, I felt less guilty about going out to dinner with Ace. It wasn’t like we could help with any of the work even if we stayed later in the office. I let out a sigh when I realized that Ace was right again when he told me that we should simply leave things in Julianna’s capable hands. It was clear to me that she knew what she was doing and if things didn’t quite go as planned, I was sure that Ace would step in to help her fix it. After a few more hours of working, the

    “We’re here,” Ace announced after he had parked the car.I watched as he got out before opening the car door to get out myself. Ace was by my side when I stepped out of the car, and he readily offered me his hand for support. I wasn’t wearing particularly high heels, so it wasn’t much of an issue getting out of the car; however, I took his hand without hesitation. To my surprise, the place that Ace had chosen didn’t seem like such a private or hidden place at all. Unlike the other restaurants that he took me to on our secret dates, I found myself standing in front of a very tall hotel building. “Is the restaurant in there?” I asked to confirm my understanding of the situation. “Yup. This way…” Ace replied as he tugged on my hand for me to follow after him. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I followed Ace into the lobby of the very luxurious-looking hotel but I got the feeling that something private wasn’t something that Ace had in mind for our dinner tonight. We were greeted by a m

  • Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss   The End - True Love

    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

  • Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss   Wedding Night

    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

  • Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss   Our Dream Wedding

    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
