Even though I was technically allowed to date Ace now, he was still technically in a relationship with Elizabeth. Their relationship seemed to be very much a cover up now more than ever before with the two not seeing each other much outside the context of work and now that the first phase of the merger has come to an end, the two will probably see less of each other. I wondered what was going to happen now that Ace was free from his role at the company. Ace arrived shortly in his car, and for the first time in forever, I got into the car without having to look left and right to check if someone was watching us. It felt strange and I was sure that it would take some time for me to get used to this. “It feels kind of strange that you were the one who organized everything although we’re supposed to be celebrating your last day at the company,” I pointed out while feeling slightly regretful for not doing anything special for him.“It’s good enough for me that you’re here. Thanks for suc
Most of all, I was thankful and proud of the fact that we were still together despite everything that happened and all the obstacles that stood in our way. I did realize that there were still many obstacles in our way, but I was certain that we would be able to overcome them somehow if we just stuck together like we always have. “Congratulations, Ace. I’m very proud of you,” I complimented him openly before letting out a giggle.It was funny how I just couldn’t stop smiling because I was just that happy for him and also for us. With the merger and our relationship as boss and secretary out of the way, maybe we could focus more on our relationship. It still felt kind of sad that I was no longer his personal secretary and that I wouldn’t get to work with him anymore. It was so ironic how much I hated this position of his secretary when I first started working for him. I could still remember how against it I was back then. To make matters worse, I somehow convinced myself that he only w
“You don’t have to be stuck there you know…” Ace said before showing me a very charming smile. “What are you trying to say?” I asked as I narrowed my eyes at him suspiciously. “Well, you could just quit and move in with me and live an easy-going life,” Ace replied teasingly. I knew well enough that he knew that I wouldn’t do something like that. Given how wealthy Ace is, I had no doubt that he could live an easy-going life in luxury without ever having to work again his entire life. However, things were different for me, and I couldn’t imagine myself living off of Ace like a leech. On top of that, I still had dreams and career aspirations of my own. I still enjoyed the job that I was doing, and I also liked my colleagues even though working with new colleagues from Chase Creatives could be challenging. I was determined to adapt and make the best out of everything. Since my mother is a single mother and we were not well off, I also needed to work in order to support her. I still re
“You’re coming with me,” he said with a firm nod of his head.“Me?” I asked with widened eyes.“Of course. Who else? Don’t you dare think that you’re getting out of this one,” Ace said with a satisfied laugh. “You can’t be serious. You do realize that I’m not longer your secretary, right?” I asked as I batted my eyelashes at him teasingly. Although I wanted to tease him, it was true that I was no longer working as his secretary. The thought of being dragged to all the farewell parties along with him excited me a little but it also felt like a hassle. Above all else, I knew that I wasn’t a big fan of big gatherings and meeting so many new people all at once. “You’re not going as my personal secretary. You’re going as my girlfriend,” he replied like it was supposed to be obvious. “Umm…isn’t it too soon?” I asked as a frown formed in between my brows.“Don’t look so worried or you’re going to make me feel bad,” Ace said although he ended up laughing a little at my reaction. “The new
“Are you suddenly worried about your job security or something?” he asked teasingly before he chuckled.“You know well enough that I don’t mean it like that…” I said before rolling my eyes at him.Ace just laughed a little at my reaction. Although I was trying to be serious, Ace had no trouble finding some way to joke about it. I did realize that a part of why he was doing that was to make sure that I didn’t overly stress about things. “Nothing major will happen. Everyone will panic to a certain degree but soon they will realize that whatever personal relationship that I have with Elizabeth isn’t going to impact their professional careers and lives at work. That’s just all there is to it. The merger will go on as planned and great things will happen now that the company is merged into a big, experienced, and well-equipped monster,” Ace announced quite proudly. “I really hope that that will be the case. I think we’ve all had more than enough shock this year as employees of the compan
“Thank you for your time. We’ll try our best to answer your questions at the end,” Ace wrapped up quite professionally. The reporters bombarded them with questions, but I wasn’t interested to listen anymore beyond that point. It was enough for me that the announcement had been made. Finally, their fake relationship was over for real. Just like that, it was over as if had never happened in the first place. I still thought that it was ridiculous that they had to announce their relationship and also the end of it in press conferences like that but that was just how things had to be. I spent the rest of the day listening to the reactions of my colleagues and what they thought about Ace and Elizabeth’s break up. That was when I found out for myself just how many supporters they had. The majority of the people felt disappointed about their sudden break up. Employees that were originally from Jessen’s and Hill’s took the change much harder than those from Chase Creatives. Naturally, that w
After reaching an agreement that I should simply stop renting my place and move in with him properly, we scheduled a weekend to make sure that the move would happen. Of course, it was Ace’s idea and his persistent insistence that made it all happen. “Should I help you unpack?” he offered.“Oh, no. That’s fine. I’ll get it sorted myself,” I quickly turned down his suggestion.“If you’re lazy, you can take it slow. There’s no need to unpack everything today. The guest bedroom is free and so are some other rooms, so you can just put your stuff there for now,” he pointed out. “Thanks, I’ll do that,” I replied. I understood why Ace was insistent, but I still had my reserves about our relationship. It had only been around two months since Ace and Elizabeth announced their breakup. I could already imagine what people would have to say if they found out that we were already dating and that I had already moved into Ace’s place. I didn’t need to be a genius to figure out how our relationship
If I had to take a guess, it must have been something related to my personal life, such as my relationship with Ace…“I know that this isn’t technically your fault, but I thought that you should know about this before it leaks out from the walls of this company if it hasn’t already…” she said before closing her eyes and letting out another long sigh. “What is it?” I asked as I told myself in my mind not to panic. “I heard that something similar happened before but there are rumors going around the company that you are dating Ace Hills,” she said as she stared directly at me. “Oh…” I murmured without knowing what else I was supposed to say.If Ace was still working at the company as my boss, then it would have been obvious enough to me that we had to keep our secret relationship hidden away from everyone. However, now that he was no longer my boss and also no longer working at the company, it wasn’t like I would be breaking the rule that forbids employees from dating each other. “S
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
