I stared at the closed door in confusion as I wondered what I should do now. My hands trembled a little and my lips felt dry all of a sudden. Her sudden appearance shocked me but the fact that she was pregnant made an extremely uncomfortable knot form in the base of my stomach. Why did she come to see Ace? How are the two of them related? She’s not pregnant with his child, is she?! No matter how much I tried to keep my thoughts from straying in that direction, that was exactly where my thoughts ended up going. Why else would a pregnant woman be so angry and demand to see Ace like this. Ace also did not seem shocked to see her or the fact that she was with child. So, he must have known already that she was pregnant. Even when I knew that I should try to put some trust in Ace, it was virtually impossible at that moment and in that situation. She’s pregnant! Those words echoed through my brain repeatedly like a scream that was just echoing as it bounced off the walls of my brain. “
My eyes widened in shock and for a moment, I forgot to breathe. If I recalled correctly, I first saw her when I was waiting for Ace a few years ago when I had my interview at this company. Her beauty was captivating, and she had the same hair color as now. I didn’t remember her face that well and she did gain a little weight from her pregnancy so that was probably why I didn’t recognize her right away. However, now I was certain that she is his ex-secretary. Why else would she take note that I was Ace’s secretary now? It was all because she used to be his secretary before I took over her position from her. When I first accepted this position, I even asked about her and what happened to her. ‘I thought that you already had a secretary…’ ‘Oh, you mean Claudia? She had to quit recently due to health issues. It really was quite unfortunate. I really enjoyed working with her and we got along very well with each other,’If I wasn’t wrong, that was what I asked him and then he replied wi
Somehow, I made it home. I didn’t even remember how I made it home after I had gotten into a cab. I’ll figure everything work-related out tomorrow. I’ll apply for sick leave or whatever was necessary later on. When I got home, I realized that I had no memories of my time in the cab at all. My thoughts were a jumbled mess and so were my emotions. Thankfully, there were no reporters in front of my apartment anymore since the press conference made the rumors about us die down. I managed to get into my apartment before letting my body fall face first onto the bed. My entire body felt heavy as if it was made out of solid rocks. “Mum?” I spoke through the phone while hating our much my voice broke and quivered. “Rina? What’s wrong?” my mother asked in a panic. She must have figured out that something was gravely wrong from my tone of voice. I wiped my tears from my cheek and eyes with my hand before taking in a deep breath. I’m such a mess and a failure for worrying my mother this way.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen now but I’m definitely breaking up with Ace. So, let me stay here with you for a while…” I confessed softly. “Have you spoken to Ace about this? Are you absolutely sure that she’s pregnant with his child?” my mother asked after recovering from her initial shock. “No. I was too shocked to speak to him. He hasn’t tried to get in touch with me, though. She also demanded for his responsibility, so I think that is clear enough it and of itself,” I replied before heaving a heavy sigh. “That’s not good. As a couple, you should always talk things out. I know that it can be difficult to talk about something like this but even you do end up breaking up with him, I still think that you should talk to him properly and break things off properly,” my mother suggested sternly. “Maybe you’re right…” I muttered. Maybe I should talk to him. Maybe it was only right that I gave him a chance to explain; however, I just didn’t know how to face him right now and I d
Immediately, I turned my face around to see if my ears had been playing a dirty trick on me or not. My eyes must be playing some trick on me as well because I saw Ace standing right in front of me in our small living room. He’s not really here. That was the conclusion that my brain arrived at without hesitation. I turned around and started playing around with the food on my plate again with the tip of my fork. “Don’t ignore me, Rina…” Ace said.This time, I felt his presence when the table shook as he took the seat opposite to mine from our small dining table. No matter how much my mind tried to deny his presence, it seemed like Ace was really here in our apartment again. Why is he even here? “Why are you here?” I asked the first thing that came to my mind. “Because you’re here. Rina, we need to talk…” Ace said as he stared directly into my eyes.“I have nothing to say to you…” I muttered darkly. Now that Ace was sitting right in front of me, all the dark emotions that came rush
Claudia was clearly not scared of Ace at all. In response to his threat, she just rolled her eyes at him. I wondered if she was this way when she was working as his secretary as well. I highly doubted it. “Fine…” Claudia said with clear annoyance before she turned to face me.Her eyes narrowed at me while she seemed to think about what to say. I had no idea why Ace brought her here to see me and why she had agreed to it. I also didn’t understand the deal he seemed to have with her. What was it that Claudia so desperately wanted? I stared back at her as my heart raced wildly in my chest while I waited for her to tell me the truth about the conversation that she had with Ace yesterday. What she says will most likely determine whether or not I have a future with Ace. “The truth is…Ace is not my baby’s father…” Claudia stated loud and clear. My mouth dropped opened at her words. Really?!“…What?” I whispered in pure disbelief. “This child in my belly isn’t his,” Claudia repeated wit
“I always help you out, Ace. Now it’s your turn to help me out,” Claudia said sternly.After glaring at me and Ace, she finally made her way out of the café. I was still too shocked to speak when she left. The fact that she was gone also meant that I was left alone with Ace. Suddenly, fear and panic started swallowing me up and my hands and feet felt so weak and cold. For a moment, I honestly thought that I was going to faint.“I guess you didn’t sleep well last night…” Ace said with a tinge of regret in his tone.“It’s pretty obvious, huh?” I mumbled a little sarcastically.The large dark circles and my puffy eyes probably gave it all away that I didn’t sleep well last night and that I had been crying my eyes out for hours. Ace sighed loudly as he shook his head slowly from side to side while I wondered how we both got ourselves into this messy web of unfortunate and hurtful misunderstanding.“Rina, there’s nothing for you to worry about or cry over anymore. It’s all just a big under
The moment I saw his smile, I realized how much I’ve missed it, and it has only been a day since I last saw it. What made me think that I could go on without seeing that smile of his forever? “I’m still very surprised about Claudia’s…umm…circumstances…” I mumbled. “It’s honestly not as bad as she thinks it is. She’s gotten too paranoid about it and thinks that my friend won’t marry her or take responsibility for their child. That’s not true at all, but no matter how many times I try to tell her this, she wouldn’t believe me…” Ace said before pursing his lips together. “Well, there’s got to be a reason why she thinks that way…” I murmured in wonder. “My friend is definitely a player and famous for his numerous affairs. That and adding on the fact that the baby was kind of unplanned, might be what is making her think that way. However, with that being said, he’s a very responsible man so I have no doubt that he’ll take responsibility. He really likes her too…” Ace explained before g
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
