My throat felt parched and that was what led me to wake up in the middle of the night. The bedroom was dark when I opened my eyes sleepily. I should get a drink of water from the kitchen. I tried my best to get out of bed without waking Ace. However, I couldn’t quite sense his presence with me in the dark room and when I felt around his side of the bed, I couldn’t find him.Where did he go? It’s so late in the night. Drowsily, I got out of bed and made my way out of the bedroom. I had no idea where Ace went in the middle of the night. Maybe I would find him on my trip to the kitchen to fetch some water. It was dark and silent outside as I made my way to the kitchen. I couldn’t find Ace anywhere and that fact rushed me to grab a bottle from the fridge before quickly drinking from it. I walked along the hallway while I thought that it might be best to grab my phone and give Ace a call. That was when I heard the sound of something moving inside one of the rooms. The sound stopped but n
“Ace…” I called his name softly as I stood at his side.“What is it?” he asked but without much interest. “Thank you for working so hard for us…” I said softly but clearly. Ace turned to stare directly into my face before he smiled a little at me. Slowly his hand reached out and soon I felt its warmth against my cheek. He softly stroked my cheek with the pad of his thumb, and I smiled back in response. “Umm…I’ll head back to bed now…” I mumbled softly as I felt heat rise to my cheek.His loving caress made so much warmth flood my face and my chest. …Despite my wish to spend an entire day or more submerging myself in Ace’s past works in the company’s archive, I never got around to it. Work was crazy and Jeremy was ruthless in his revision of the storyboard. The fact that we were running out of time didn’t help relieve my stress at all either. Every day that I spent at the office ended past midnight and I was beginning to lose track of the number of cups of coffee that I had. “Sho
“Did you get a chance to take a look at the storyboard that we sent?” Jeremy asked. Just like always, Jeremy didn’t look nervous about having a meeting with Ace. On the other hand, I was plagued with worry. Jeremy flashed up our presentation on the large screen and a knot formed in the pit of my stomach. “I’ve seen it,” Ace replied simply. I couldn’t tell from his tone whether or not he liked what he had seen. Ace’s hazel eyes settled on the large screen before he cocked his head slightly to the side as if he was thinking of something. “You two give me a proper run-through one more time, please,” Ace said as he waited for us to do his bidding. “Umm…ok…” I replied before getting to it. Jeremy helped me as I presented the storyboard to Ace while highlighting the parts that we have changed while including the reasons behind the change. Ace didn’t seem impressed, but he didn’t stop me from continuing and that meant that it must have been somewhat passable. “We think adding in some
I stepped into his office and my body froze as I struggled to process what I was seeing. A blonde woman sat on Ace’s table with her legs crossed seductively and I had to say that her skirt was a little more than too short. At first, I couldn’t see her face and Ace paid me no mind even though I was standing there. The two seemed very engaged in just staring into each other’s eyes. Did I walk in at the wrong moment? Definitely. “Oh…it’s you…” the woman said as she turned around and spotted me.Her face was definitely one that I had seen before. “Elizabeth…” I murmured her name softly. Why is she here…exactly? “Ace and I have unfinished business so if you don’t mind…can you…” she said before she sweetly at me and shooed me off with her hand. What on earth is going on?Why is Elizabeth Chase here? My eyes glanced over at Ace as I hoped for him to do something to correct the situation for me. Instead of telling Elizabeth to get off his desk and pull down her skirt, he turned and sh
“Yes. What were you talking to Elizabeth about?” I demanded to know.Ace looked at me before he smiled innocently at him. “Work…” he replied casually without giving me any more details. I hated how he was treating the situation as if nothing had happened. If I didn’t walk in on them or if I hadn’t been there, how far would they have taken it?My thoughts and imagination were driving me crazy. Before I realized it, I had already fully assumed that there was something between the two of them. “What work?” I asked as I stared boldly up into his face. Ace looked at me with some surprise before his eyes narrowed at me. “I can’t tell you that,” he replied calmly. “What? You can’t tell me what ‘work’ you were discussing with her about?” I asked in pure disbelief.It was just so ridiculous. Ace surely has to know that the more he evaded my questions, the more suspicious everything becomes. Why can’t he just come out and explain it directly to me?If he would just do that, then perhaps I
“Let go. I have nothing to say to you,” I snapped as I tried to shake off his grip. “Was Elizabeth here today?” Kyle asked sternly. I froze in shock at his abrupt question. Is he here to see his wife?“Why don’t you just give her a call?” I suggested instead of answering to question.The scene of Elizabeth sitting seductively on Ace’s worktable just now popped into my mind and wouldn’t go away. The way she spoke to me bothered me and seeing them together bothered me even more. What is this about Kyle not knowing where his wife is and whether or not she came here? “Judging by your reactions I would say that I was right. Elizabeth was here…or is she still here?” Kyle asked as he tilted his head a little to the side.His eyes stared down at my face and it felt like he could read me. I cursed the fact that I spent years dating this guy and that somehow allowed him to read me like a book. “Did you meet her?” Kyle asked. Oh, I more than met here…“Go and ask your wife. I’m leaving…” I
What a stupid and twisted world! I felt like screaming and ripping my hair out. Not wanting to waste any more time with this man, I decided to get right to the point.“So, what makes you think that your wife is cheating on you?” I asked without mincing my words.“I don’t know if she’s cheating on not, but Elizabeth has been acting…strangely…for the past weeks,” Kyle confessed with a sigh. “What do you mean by strangely?” I asked as I arched a brow at him. “She’s been coming home late…like…very late. Then when she goes out, she doesn’t tell me where she’s going. No matter how many times I ask her, she just tells me that she’s going out for work. It’s like the easiest excuse, you know…” Kyle said as his brows drew together. Work. I had to say that I’ve definitely heard that before. It might really be the easiest excuse…“Maybe she really did go out for work…” I murmured. “Then why can’t she tell me where she’s going and whom she’s meeting with? I even offered to drive her there an
“Then again, can’t the same be said about you? Aren’t you also super insecure about dating Ace?” Kyle asked as he stared intently at me from across the table. “I have to trust him…” I replied. Deep down, I knew that that was what I had to do to get through this. I had to trust him. My mind went to our argument when his ex-secretary turned up pregnant. If I had trusted him and heard him out back then, then we wouldn’t have almost broken up like that. Kyle was right, I was extremely insecure when it came to the relationship that I had with Ace. Although I learned my lessons from that incident with his ex-secretary, it was still hard for me to rest easy and assured when I saw him with Elizabeth. I wanted to trust him, but it was so hard to control my feelings. “Easier said than done…” Kyle said knowingly. “If there’s nothing else, I’m going to leave,” I said as I started getting up from my seat. “Don’t you want to at least eat something first? I ordered so much food for you,” Kyle
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
