ain greeted me the next day.

 

could barely sit that morning. I felt a seething pain on my lower body, but I tried my best to walk towards the bathroom without waking Ace up. I took a warm bath in the tub to lessen my agony. 

 

A few moments later Ace entered the bathroom, he was wearing his boxers. He looked drowsy and he still had bed hair making him look innocent as if last night had not happened. 

 

"Are you alright?" he asked me after rubbing his eyes and I gave him a short nod. He frowned at me, "I doubt it." 

 

"I got Tylenol if you really can't handle it, but the pain is normal especially if..." and he trailed off. 

 

We both knew he was going to say 'the first time around' but even he felt awkward saying it out loud. It really was my first time, I have gone on a few dates before, but I never really had a long-term relationship at all. He was my first, but I was betting I was not his.

    “Again?"I still could not believe the words that had just left Ace's mouth.He continued to speak but the rest of the things he was saying did not register in my mind. I could see his mouth move but I could not hear anything."Can we please not joke about things like this?" I started to shake my head, giving him a disappointed look.I was expecting him to start smiling and laughing like how he usually does when he tries to pull a trick on me, but he did not. Instead, he continued to look at me with both pain and concern.Before coming here, I made a mental pact with myself that I was not going to cry. If only I knew he was going to break up with me, I would not have made that promise.I still tried to contain my tear, but it gave away after a few seconds. Tears started to stream down my cheeks, and I began to sob. I knew I looked like a mess. I cried even harder when Ace wrapped his arms around me.

    Imet Cana when I was in my third year.The executive committee was called to the conference room for the first-ever mixed meeting this year. I came together with the rest of Beta's executive committee and sat next to Ceasar.I was glad that he was a part of the committee this year because last year I was always alone. I have known Ceasar ever since high school because we went to the same school. He was eyeing all the girls entering the conference room, looking for another victim when he called out to me.I was expecting him to point out another chick that I was not interested in but to my surprise, this one caught my eyes.A girl from the house I hated the most entered the conference room. She looked timid and shy but at the same time, I could see how brave she was deep inside. Her caramel-colored eyes and long luscious brown hair were the first things that I noticed. She was slender and tall; I could see her body wa

    “Miss Vandia is here."Elysa, my assistant, had just announced my arrival to the team. Everyone stood up when I entered the meeting room, I gestured for them to take a seat and they did.I had been in Italy for almost a month now, the foundation of our new Hospital here had officially begun, and I was the head engineer. Staying in Italy was very refreshing compared to the busy streets in New York. I knew I was capable of handling this hospital construction even if I was in New York, but I preferred staying here. I also had the habit of personally overlooking the process of building the foundations of all my projects.I sat down at the end of the long table and flipped through the file that was given to me. I was surprised when Elysa announced another person arriving."Doctor Juarez is here."My heart sank.Juarez, is it Ace Juarez?I have not seen that asshole for almost six yea

    “Make sure to always wear that ring."It was the following day after my fiancée stood me up. I was at my mother's office when she had suddenly given me a box with a ring inside. She told me to always wear it because there are cameras everywhere and that there would always be people trying to find a flaw in my marriage.My family does not want to tarnish our name by letting the people know that I was forced into the marriage. They had to make it look like Dr. Sony and I was really in love with each other."Dr. Sony already have the matching ring, I made sure to tell him to wear it as well," my mom smiled, and I simply sighed.I did not stay long in the office with her, I had to visit Palm Beach since I was planning on accepting the deal there. The project was only a beach house so despite the hospital I was managing in Italy and the corporate building in New York, I knew I would still be able to squeeze it in my schedule.I invited

    “You're engaged to Jack Aceson Juarez, aren't you? Dr. Sony for short?"Ace smiled and raised his right hand up to show me his ring finger. I had not noticed it just now, but the design was exactly like mine, the only difference was mine had a diamond embedded on it."Stop kidding," I laughed nervously."Do I look like I joke?" he smirked."You used to joke with me all the time," I rolled my eyes.I paused when I realized I had just bought up a topic connected to our past relationship. I had been stepping on landmines during the whole conversation and this was probably the biggest one yet."That was in the past Vandia. Weren't you the one who told me to just forget it and move on?" he raised an eyebrow at me, and I quickly recalled all those times I had ignored him again. I was about to turn and leave when Ace spoke again, the glint in his eyes shined brighter than before."So, you we

    “Are you still not over me, Ace?"The question at the top of my head was blurted out. I immediately regretted it, but I did not show it in my expression. There is a possibility that I was right anyway or so I thought."Don't think too highly of yourself, Vandia,"Ace said my exact thoughts."Do you think I'm marrying you 'cause I still love you?" he raised an eyebrow. I could tell he was getting amused by me again. I always felt like a clown when I was around him, a form of entertainment.'Yes?'I answered his question in my head, but I did not have the guts to say it aloud.My old self would have punched me in the stomach for everything I have done in the past few days. It was not like I had forgotten Ace giving up on our relationship when I needed him the most but at the same time, the anger I had back then had already faded. Right now, he was the guy who taught me how to love.He wa

    Edward's case had been approved.The trial was going to be held next week, Monday. I had just called Ace so we could set up a time and talk about how we were going to bring Edward here to New York from London. He said he was going to be free during lunch, so I made sure I was free as well.We agreed to meet at the Starbucks near the Vandia Main Hospital so that it would be easy for him to get back to work if there was an emergency.When I got there, I found him sitting at a table for two besides the window. He was in his scrubs without his lab coat and yet he looked stunningly handsome. I waved away the thought thinking he only looked good due to the lighting coming from outside the window.His jet-black hair was gelled back, a few strands falling on his forehead. He wore a Rolex watch and his ring, our engagement ring, was visible too. I could have mistaken him for a nurse if I had not known him.He was on

    I was forced to open my door.“How childish can you get?" I hissed through gritted teeth."Not as much as you," he gave me a quick smile before entering my room.He sat on my bed as if he owned it and pointed at the bathroom, "Use that."I hated getting changed in the bathroom but in the end, I was forced to use it. I came out wearing my silk pajamas."Happy now?" I pointed at my outfit, and he brimmed a little before nodding his head. I had expected him to leave after seeing me changed but he still sat on my bed."What? Are you sleeping here tonight?" I smirked."Do you want me to?" he asked. My forehead creased and I immediately shook my head."Why would I?" I tried my best to sound disgusted but in reality, a part of me actually wanted him to stay. He let a ball of air leave his nose before he stood up, heading towards the door."Don't go, alright?" he gave

    If it was not for Scion University I would not have met Athena Calleen Vandia.Then again, if it were not for the same university, I would not have broken up with her nor operate on her. A lot of things would not have happened.I wouldn't have had two kids sitting on my lap.I wouldn't have such a beautiful wife.I wouldn't have such a great family."Babe, Edward said he is coming over today, it's his freedom anniversary," Cana called out behind one of the huge blankets. It was Sunday, family day, and as usual, we spent our morning at our backyard where Cana would be hanging out clothes. The maids could have done it but when she was free, she always insisted on doing some of the house chores."Uncle Edward is coming over?" Andrea smiled."Is he? Is he?" Adeline jumped down from my lap.The twins smiled widely at me, they were only turning four next year, yet they could speak so fluentl

    “Mr. Juarez, what are your thoughts on marrying my only daughter, Cana?""Sir, Pardon?" my eyes widened at Mr. Vandia, my employer.Tonight, was the 62nd annual anniversary of the Vandia Corporation. I became a registered surgeon today and they had just announced it to everyone at the party. Right after I got off the stage, Mr. Juarez invited me to seat with him and his wife.I had not said a single word when Mr. Vandia suddenly asked that question. I was left stunned while the couple stared at me widely, most likely hoping for a positive answer.Almost four years passed, and I was never able to forget Athena Calleen Vandia. I tried to date other women, I tried to drink her away, I tried to overwork myself but none of it helped in taking her off my head. As if that was not enough, now, I was being offered to marry her.When Mr. Vandia realized I was speechless, he spoke again, "We want you to take over the com

    The snow welcomed me on the day I was finally released.My parents did not want to let me go until I was fully recovered so I had to stay for a total of two weeks in the hospital. They had wanted me to stay for one more week, but I had been calling my dad, complaining, so they decided to let me go. On top of that, they did not allow me to handle any sort of work, they postponed all my projects.Who wouldn't be mad in such a situation?I rolled down the car window and took a deep breath despite the cold. Chase was the one driving and Ace was at the shotgun seat, I had the back all to myself."Put that down," Ace ordered.Both of them were so protective of me throughout the whole way, it was as if at any second, another gunner would come and shoot me, but I knew nothing like that would happen again."You guys are so tense," I laughed at the two of them, leaving the car window open.

    Ace looked like he just got through hell.His face was bloodied and bruised, his hair was all over his forehead, sweaty and sticky. He had a gun on his right hand and his left was bald in a fist. There was a gash on the top of his left eyebrow, dried blood stained it.His white shirt was dirtied, blood in some places, and shoe marks as well. There was a knife cut on his left chest, but it did not seem deep because the blood seeping through had already dried up as well. I could feel that his lower body was equally messed up, but his jeans had covered it well."Ace," I said but it came out as a croak.He scanned me with concern but in a blink of an eye, it turned into a bloodshot glare. He scowled at Mr. Macklet who was staring at him in disbelief."I dare you to fucking kick her again," he aimed the gun straight at Mr. Macklet and his guards stood in front of him protectingly."If you pull the

    “We're sorry it took that long."Edward shook his head, smiling widely, "Still that was quite a heist.""A human heist, if that is actually a thing," Ace joined."Food? Anyone?" I asked when the seatbelt lights turned off."I'm good," Edward smiled before he started to look out the window, he was admiring the clouds. I could not blame the guy; he had been locked up in that room for ten years. It was better to leave him alone for a little while."I'll join you," Ace immediately stood up and followed me to the tail of the plane.The last time we got in this plane the fridge was filled with food but right now, if it was even possible, there was more food in it. It had about three tubs of ice cream, a variety of yogurt, cookies, sodas, boxes of iced tea drinks, candies, gummy bears, and others I could not even name."Do you think Blake always keeps a stash of food here?" I asked."Prob

    Iwoke up to the smell of pancakes.I was expecting my lower body to be aching, but I was glad that it did not. We have a long day planned for us and I cannot afford to have any sorts of body ache.Today, Edward can finally leave his cell, well, not technically leave because we are breaking him out."Babe, you feeling good? I have Tylenol if you need it," Ace made his way towards me when he realized I was already awake.It looks like he had already taken a shower. He was wearing a black turtleneck with dark blue jeans. His hair was messy, it has not been combed yet and he was barefooted.He sat by the side of the bed and gave me a peck on the forehead followed by a smile."Did I become better?" he asked, cheekily and I rolled my eyes."Nah, worse actually," I laughed, and he pouted like a kid.I finally got out of bed only to realize I was only wearing an ove

    My lips went dry."I-"My mind went haywire. In just a second, thousands of thoughts ran through my head. We wanted to talk about the same topic, I was prepared for that topic, and yet here I was speechless. I could not even move."Vandia, I... I know it is too late to tell you my side of the story but before I do, tell me why, why you didn’t give me a chance?" Ace paused and gave me a bleak look which sent a pang of pain in my chest. I felt regret. I let the silence hang in the air for a few more seconds before finally responding."Ace, I was mad. Anger got the best of me. I was stuck in the thinking that you left me when I needed you the most, I hated you, I hated your guts," I halted to take in a breath."I needed you Ace, I wanted your assurance, I wanted your comfort but all I got was a coward, someone who wanted to back off, someone-""Accepting reality is an act of bravery," he stated."Your life was on the

    In the end, I had let him drive.He headed towards my favorite pasta shop in the vicinity since he said he would eat wherever I liked. I always ate at that place after visiting the site so some of the waiters already knew me. Today, Justin, a guy who was probably around my age and had also come from America served us."Miss Vandia, it is nice to see you back again and it seems that you have brought a friend," he noticed Ace who was sitting across from me."Yes, though I won't stay long.""Oh, that's a pity," Justin frowned."I'd like the usual and my friend will have-""Your fiancéewill have Ragu Napoletano, thank you," he gave the menu back to Justin who forced out a smile and took it."I didn't know you were into waiters," he commented when Justin had left, and my face immediately creased. It sounded offending as if people with such jobs do not deserve being loved or liked.&nb
