Ace's POV

Jake 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

After what I tagged as the 'outrageous encounter' with dad yesterday, my whole body became numb and mind blank, especially when he just finished uttering those words, “then, your sister will have to get pregnant for him and become the CEO.” It felt as though someone would just wake me up from the disastrous nightmare.Everything was still fresh in my head, despite drowning myself in alcohol yesterday.

    ~Brittany's POV My eyes were glued to the gigantic mirror in front of me as I stared at my reflection in a daze.“My lady, could you please move your head a little to the left?” “My lady?” The makeup artist called out again, pausing for a moment when I didn't bulge, and I glanced at her through the mirror.“Leave.” I uttered instead.My gaze was hostile towards her, but I cared less at the moment.“My lady, we don't have much time........” “Leave this instant, I want to be left alone.” I shut her up immediately, also referring to the workers she came along with.I heard her sigh beside me. 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

I can't believe I agreed to the marriage in the first place.My door clicked open and l glanced to see my mom coming in. I sat up immediately.She must have something to say.Who am I fooling? Definitely, she had something to say, not after the string I pulled at the altar.Her face was no longer in a frown unlike earli

This is to show that the beautiful lady, Brittany Anderson, can do anything at all. She has proven.......” “Just get down to the comments.” I chipped in before she could finish.I was beginning to get bored and not ready to hear any damn story.“Alright. A comment says, 'She didn't prove any bravery, instead showed us how stupid she was.' This was from a guy and he got numerous people who agreed with him.”“Another one says, 'Why do the bad women always get hold of the good men? This could have been me, then I wouldn't be so ungrateful like her.' This is from a lady.” She continued to say with a smile on her face.She grinned from ear to ear as she scrolled on the tablet, chuckling out at some points

    Brittany's POVMy face had one of the straight look ever, and I was certain he wouldn't know what I was thinking.His attitude when I got to his office almost began to piss me off but thankfully I held out well.I had to even reply to him, “Then you're wrong because I do apologize when I'm wrong, especially to those who are worth it.” Thankfully, he seemed not to hear the last phrases because I was certain he would have reacted if he had. Although, I didn't give a f**k but now was not the moment to piss him off.I was here, literally in disguise as his business partner, something I didn't really want, but what could I do when Mom had given thousands of reasons why I should make this marriage possible?Suddenly, he busted into a small laughter and I raised my brow at him, wondering what was funny at the moment. Did he think I was joking?The tone behind his laughter didn't sit well with me, as it had hints of mockery behind it. Then he stopped laughing.“Tell me, Miss Anderson, did yo

Now that we have the ball in our court, there's nothing to worry about anymore. But, I hope you've told him when the wedding would take place. You know, it's a day after tomorrow, right?” She uttered, raising her brows at the end of her statement.Damn it! I almost thought I was forgetting something when I left his office.“You mean you didn't?” Mom scoffed out and I just shrugged.I froze for a second before glancing at her slowly and I guessed she understood my message instantly because her look said it all.“It's in the contract, he doesn't need to hear it from me.” Those words came out seconds later to conceal my little incompetence.Besides, I could send a message across to him when my secretary goes to pick up the contrac

I glanced at the lady beside me to see if she felt the same way but as usual, her expression wasn't easy to fathom, which makes me wonder what she could be thinking at the moment.I admitted she looked too gorgeous in that wedding dress, even when I only had a little chance to adore her. If it were to be in the past, I would have hushed praises into her ears and probably, she would smile back whilst doing the same. But things were different between us now.I clenched my

    The atmosphere became cold as soon as Mr. Anderson uttered those words to his daughter. It seemed as though time stopped for that brief moment. Even Mrs. Catherine who had been eavesdropping upstairs, had to come down from her hiding place out of shock and majorly, fear.Nobody expected it coming. 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. It didn't take long before her husband walked out of the living room, taking the route into his study room and she followed suit. Obviously, to talk things out with him on behalf of their daughter.On the other hand, was Lora who came in some minutes ago. She barely had the chance to make her presence known amidst all the drama when her father's stance was made.Her lips slowly curled into a mischievous smile as she crossed her hands against her chest, staring at her half-sister with a raised brow. The shock and pain written over Brittany's face was what sh

    Brittany's POV “I've gathered more information on Ms Lora and Kylie, like you requested. These are more intimate than the ones we've gotten on them so far.” Clarissa uttered beside me as we both sat in the car.I turned to her and collected the tab she was stretching out to me. 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

    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

    ~~~ 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 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. Just a while ago, his eyes couldn't stop worshiping me, right from the mansion. He adored me. Even when he didn't say it out, I knew from a side glance of what shock I put him into when I joi

    ~~~ Brittany's POV “What does it look like?” I raised my brows and crossed my hands against each other on my chest.Anger was slowly finding its way through me once again. 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
