~~~ Brittany's POV

Our ride to dinner was a smooth and quiet one as there was silence all through, only the smooth running of cars on the road was heard. There was an accountable space between us too as we both sat at the back seat.

I was staring out the window, my gaze focused on the different things that the car drove past. I smiled, seeing some of my company's cosmetics products displayed on a billboard. It wasn't just one, even though they were in different areas and locations.

I saw another billboard that caught my attention, but this time, it was that of the A&C Enterprise. My eyes somehow flashed towards their CEO, who was sitting quietly beside me. He was resting on the seat as his two eyes remained shut. I rolled my eyes. Did he do that just now? Because I was certain he wasn't asleep.

    ~~~ Ace's POV “........and that would be all for today.” I closed the file in front of me as I dismissed everyone in the conference room and I stood up.I was the first to leave while unbuttoning my suit outer jacket. Meeting with the chiefs of departments of the company were so stressful, especially when I was exhausted. Unfortunately, it was something I had to do as the CEO. The weekly repetition of stating the company's affairs was what made the meeting boring for me, and I didn't make that less obvious. Footsteps behind me made me glance to see Melissa, my personal assistant.“What's the next on my schedule?” “You got an invitation to be a guest on a TV show, to inspire new business owners and startups in that field.” She replied in a grumble, almost I couldn't hear.What the hell was wrong with her? She'd been like that for days. I scoffed out, suddenly realizing it was due to the incident of a few days ago. Obviously, it was because I left her hanging in the office that eveni

    Brittany's POVMy fears came through as soon as I felt Ace's lips on mine. It all began when the hostess manipulated the audience to make Ace and I kiss and eventually, he kissed me.It was already a hassle that I had to come here as Ace's wife. Yet, they were making me do this. I was brought back to reality when I felt Ace's hand slipped around my waist, pulling me closer. I shuddered when I felt the gentle brush of his tongue and the warmth of his minty breath.I didn't even realize when I gave into the kiss until I found myself wrapping my hands around his neck. This was one of the things I used to love about him. He was perfect in kisses.We were both still engrossed in it until I heard the audience's loud cheering. That brought me back to my senses and I disengaged immediately. I lowered my gaze as my face flushed red. I was slightly embarrassed.“Wow! That was hot.” Hostess Gabriella beamed.I could tell she was smiling from her voice, and I finally managed to lift my gaze with

I glanced through it and sighed. Staring at that right now made me remember the enemies that I needed to fight off. I had briefly forgotten them.These days, Kylie's actions towards me had made me even more wary of him. His sudden determination to become close to me and Lora's pretence to overlook it, despite being his girlfriend, it all confirmed my suspicions. Once, she had passed by when Kylie was flirting with me, and she ignored us totally. Obviously, she didn't know that I was aware of her relationship with him.“You can stop bringing me pictures of Kylie and Lora together like this.” I spoke out as I handed Clarissa back the tab.Just gathering pictures of those two doing unbelievable things outside the

It was a massive hit to everyone who heard it. Mrs. Catherine was left speechless even as she got to where the father and daughter were.

    Ace's POVJake wrapped Brittany's hands around his neck as he pulled her up. He lifted her purse to his other hand, but it didn't end there. He slipped his hands in her waist, leading her out and a deep frown crept to my face. I almost felt like stomping towards them to punch out all of his teeth. That way he would avoid touching what was mine. Wait! What did I just think? I must be out of my mind. Brittany was obviously loving it, since she looked comfortable being in his arms.“It's really her. Since when did she start coming here? Hey! Shouldn't you follow them? She seemed drunk to me.” Alex said, turning to face me at the last minute.“There would be no need. She looked so comfortable with her companion, so why should I bother?” I freed my hands from Elvira's grip to take my previous seat. I poured myself a drink and gulped it down all at once.“Dude! She is your wife and is drunk. If there's anyone to take her home in that state, then it should be you. You can't leave her in th

She bowed slightly to me before walking out of the room with her co-workers.A tiring sigh escaped my lips as I heard the door close behind me. I glanced at myself again in the mirror and a lady looking down in the dumps was staring back at me.She was dressed in an elegant white sleeveless wedding dress, her face beautified with makeup, but it didn't hide the pain.Her face lacked emotions even

Similar to when I arrived in the house earlier. Initially, I was scared when he suddenly entered into the room, taking me unaware.I was speaking with Emma and Aunt Ciara at the time he walked in and had almost thought he heard something, but all my fears vanished as soon as I realized he was asking about something else. I was beginning to understand what this was all about, but I was still going to feign ignorance at this time.“Why are you packing your things?” He asked after a moment of silence.“I'm sick of sharing a room with you, so I'll like to have my room and privacy. As it stands, nobody, except the servants, would know we stay in separate rooms.” I answered almost immediately and his brows furrowed momentarily.“Hold on… You mean….” He paused for a second and exhaled sharply, more like he was suddenly r
