The Billionaire's old flame (Revenge has never been sweeter) Chapter Eighteen
ACEI stirred in my bed, feeling the soft morning glow from the sun kissing my bare torso through the unfurled curtains before I peeled my eyes open, to meet sight with a very familiar ceiling.A ceiling I had not opened my eyes to in years. My childhood bedroom ceiling.I sat up,definitely surprised and tried to recall why I had fallen asleep here, but instead a monster headache set in.I groaned at the effect, and I perceived the alcohol in my breath, making me palm my face.Shit, how much did I drink last night?And what the fuck happened?How did I end up here?I was still rubbing my head to soothe the ache, as I downed Advil tablets, and just in, a pungent smell of burning paper and smoke wafted through my nose, eliciting a cough from me.Leaving me to wonder where the heck the smell came from.Wanting to know, I slid the duvet aside, getting out of bed and following the smoke, as I waved my hand around to clear it off.I got closer to the source, my closet and heard a soft fem

JASMIN£ “What if we host an award for him and then, wait for it….” She leaned closer and snapped her finger in my face. “Right in front of the entire crowd, we released a bucket of disgusting slime down his face. What do you say?” She concluded, earning her another burst of laughter from me. Chloe was ridiculous…in the funny way tho and her round of suggestions had been going on for the past one hour,yes. Ever since she found out that Ace was my ex-boyfriend, she had gone from liking his style to hating his guts, and now all she could think of was the perfect comeback for him. She had a list of over a hundred horrible things we could do to Ace, and this was by far, one of the least decent, and less harmful ideas, she'd dropped. “Chloe please…” I couldn't help the laughter anymore. “Just saying sis,” she shrugged picking up her bowl of chips. I shook my head, “Chloe, it's fine, I'll be just fine. Everything will go well” I reassured her. I already told her the plan, she knew it

ACE A twisted game of reading minds to uncover the truth. That's what I'm willing to play with Jasmine. It was proving to be tough considering how little she let out but I'm willing to take on the task. I had my investigator look into her profile. But we found nothing. Never been to Belgium. She was from Australia. Everything there in her details portrayed her as having a completely opposite personality to Layde. But I couldn't bring myself to believe a single finding in that document. That's because, I can't unsee the resemblance in her. It was all too much The attraction. The similarities, fuck it felt like her past we dug up were forged or something. Now I sat in this vip lounge that had a view of the grand stage outside and watched her perform. “Are you ready New Yorkers?” She hooted to a crowd outside there, and all that was heard in return were joyful cheers. It seemed she had the entirety of New York in her palms, with her music. But unbeknownst to her, she had

JASMIN£ He was kissing her….. He was holding her and kissing her….. When I saw him leave the private lounge tonight, I thought it would be a good time to get to talk to him alone, and finally get him to spill why he wants to co sponsor with me. But instead, I found him kissing Veronica intimately, proof of just how much he loves her. At the sight, I couldn't help the rage that filled me. I'm not jealous .. I'm not mad. That's what I kept telling myself as my glaring sight refused to shift from them until I felt a stinging sensation in my eyes, and a dull ache in my chest, causing me to take out my anger on the poor vase. It's his life he can do whatever he wants. That's what the only thing I can think of as I desperately weaved myself out of there, willing not to allow my rage cause any more damage. I stopped moving to lean on the wall at an enclosed corner,my heart pounding in my chest. He loved her, he loved her so much, more than he ever loved me, it was obvious. Maybe

JASMIN£ It wasn't a dream. I desperately glanced around again, with a dreary feeling in my stomach. The crowd was real, the constant shutters of cameras were real, the hushed murmurings of everyone gathered around and the very scene unfolding before me, all of it was real. Tears threatened to spill as I gasped once more at the realization. I have to get out of here … That's the only thing I can think of as I took backward steps just as mum turned to beckon for me to come closer for a hug. My eyes fell on where she and Veronica’s hands were entangled, and it tugged at my heart again. No…my head shook on its own. I can't be here. I can't embrace this. Abruptly,I backed away, refusing to accept this. My body was moving on its own taking me away from this scene. A random stranger shoved his camera in my face, “Jasmine, how do you feel about finding out about this?” “Get out of my way..” I pushed them aside, as I stumbled towards my car, ignoring the way my mum was calling me b

JASMIN£ Finally, I was meeting with Robin after weeks of being his online Ally, but I couldn't risk revealing my identity to him. Hence, I remained seated in the car even as I watched him descend the truck and scan the place with skeptical eyes. His phone was glued to his ears, as he placed a call directly to me. “Hello….” his hoarse voice came through the burner phone in my hand. His eyes cautiously scanned the strange environment we were in, probably searching for me. His greed led him to become a Judas to his very own master. A pawn in my game and I plan to use him in the best way I could. “Can you hear me?” I asked, my eyes remained on him, watching his every move. “Yes..” he glanced around. “You told me to be here. I can't see you.” “I can see you. You are spotting a French suit….?” I described any recognizable feature I could spot on him from my distance, including his suspicion filled expression. “Am I wrong?” I smirked at the way his eyes widened in shock. “Did you

ACE 69 missed calls from Father. 12 from Armani. Over 100 fucking missed calls in total. With the weight of a failed project looming over my head, I was speeding down the highway to get to the office. I was furious, so damn mad….. This was not how I expected my morning to start out after two days of the launch. I woke up to the most nighmarish news I'd ever gotten in my entire life. A news that sent a dagger straight to my heart. The Layde neckpiece turned out to be a big flop. With rumors of it containing lead poisoning. I gritted my teeth as my hold tightened on the fucking unbelievable article in my hold. My feral gaze skimmed through it once again. Our sales had dropped. The purchasers were injured… There was a ton of bad reviews flying in from every direction. Tension was gnawing at every inch of my skin in every increasing moment.. Confusion was eating me from within… How? When? A cold wave of anger coursed through my veins. I turned down the next incoming cal

JASMIN£ I envisioned the plot would cause a disaster, I just didn't know it would turn out this disastrous. The news I’d been seeing since morning were giving me goosebumps, yet Chloe seemed ecstatic by all of it. Her hands were on my shoulder, tugging excitedly, “Girl, you completely finished him! I cant believe it, the scores are finally even…” I forced a smile, my insides the absolute opposite. She snapped her fingers, with a huge smile, “this calls for a big celebration…” She disappeared into the kitchen to grab “the celebration” and suddenly I couldn't help the gut feeling in my stomach as I refocused on the news. “As of two hours ago, the economical analysts have informed us that Ace Jewellers have dropped from ten to eleven, A disappointing drop considering they used to be firm at the first position.” “Reporters say with the way their sales are depreciating and the amount of losses they are accumulating, it's very possible it could lead to a massive downgrade for them…”

JASMIN£“And this is to, many more wins, more nominations and awards, more smooth collaborations and finally, more good music to be made, cheers everyone! ” Leon announced over the loud music as he held up his wine in toast elliciting a cheer of approval from all of us around this table.The clinking of glasses against the other followed, before we all took our generous sips.Everyone was present, loads of wines were being popped and there was just so much fun going on tonight. We were celebrating our big win at my newly acquired club and the serenity of this Vip section created the perfect backdrop for our merriment…..Looking around at all the happy faces present, I was so proud of how much we'd achieved and I made sure to state that in my celebratory speech, when it was my turn to speak after Leon.“More wine…” Chloe hooted out excitedly afterwards causing us to giggle in our half drunken state. The men on the team engaged in conversations, a few were at the main club having fun…..

ACE6 hours …..It only took six hours to find the Romeo fucker.And now I had him tied down in our dingy warehouse as Romano’s soldiers rained scorching torture on him.Ever since I stepped in some minutes ago to find him in a mid-broken state, I had remained here in this dark corner observing every single moment with Veronica, who stood closely by my side.Romano was by my right as well and Armani.Romeo”s torture was serving the show for all of us all.And now feeling like I'd watched enough of the show, I ordered a pause to the torture.“Stop…” I growled suddenly. Now I wanted to strike was the only thought in my mind as a still befell the entire room.I glared down at him once more before starting to move towards him, Veronica’s hand coiled around halting my movement for a bit, “Make him suffer Ace, just like he did to me…” she stated, with hate and vengeance sparking in her eyes. She said everything I intended to do to him.I stepped out of the darkness and into the light , ap

JASMIN£ Glancing at the door again, I heaved a pent up breath in patience. Today was the first day for my twice in a year medical checkup and as usual, I was eagerly anticipating the results of today’s checkup. The door finally creaked open after quite a while of waiting and Doctor Lana whom I had gotten used, from the past years, reentered the room, bearing a huge grin. “There's my sweet cupcake, looking as radiant as usual.” she commented cheerfully as she approached. Her words sieved a giggle out of me, as her smile instantly lit up the entire room. She was a caring woman from the day I'd known her till date. She was only an intern when I first came to New York and met her at the asylum that housed me in my first year here and she was the one person that freely helped me during the dark times that followed after the breakup. Now she was in her early forties and a big fan of my music, she was also my personal gynaecologist. And apart from my mum and Chloe, only she knew about

ACE I still couldn't believe how much of my time I wasted on her…. Trusting Jasmine was a mistake, a total waste of my time. And at the top of the reasons why chasing her was unreasonable, was the realization that the DNA I'd taken of her turned out negative. Fuck! The reality that I'd been pinning on the wrong woman for quite a while now, messed with my sanity and almost fucked me over…. And I couldn't believe her guts. The Blaine diamond. That's what she wanted all this while? Seriously? I should have known she was double faced right from the moment she scarred my poor manhood, but damn, as her filthy words from last night recurred in my memory, it only enraged me the more, making me involuntarily squeeze around the tumbler in my hold…. “So what do you say Ace?” The sudden sound of my father's voice drew me out of my raging subconscious back to the meeting at hand. Glancing back up, I realized I was presently in an unwanted meeting with my Father and Armani. Last I heard

Hearing his words, it brought a twisted sense of relief to my chest.He has bought it all…My plan has clicked into place.Now all I have to do is make him hate me.“What?” I feigned pretence.He started taking steps towards me, as I retreated in staged fear, “You’re not my Layde.” he stated.I gulped, once I realized my back had connected with the wall with him nearly looming over me with questioning eyes.“My Layde can never be this selfish and stuck up. People can change, but no, I don't believe in her changing this much. She was and still is, a literal angel. You're two different people. I found the wrong person, my bad…”His words made my heart pick up a blissful rhythm, I almost melted at what he had to say about me, but then, I reminded myself of how much his rejection after the scandal has hurt and the thought alone, toughened me up once again.So, I forced out a pathetic laugh, a laugh I dragged on and on, to his confusion, before eventually coming to a still and cocking my

JASMIN€ A still moment passed between us, as we held an intense stare of each other’s eyes. “Its really you…” relief sparkled in his eyes as they searched my entire face. “Fuck…” without warning, he pulled me into a squashing hug. “I'm sorry..” he breathed exasperatedly over my hair, patting down on it, while hugging me so close, so tight, as his masculine scent enveloped my senses. I was numb to his reaction, even as I could feel his heart beat against mine, until a tear drop threatened to slip through me at the surge of emotions swirling up within. I struggled to keep the tears at bay as I eventually loosened up in his embrace. I couldn't even remember the last time he held me this way but I do know how much I’ve longed to hear him say the word, I'm sorry ever since that fateful day, everything went downhill. Yet now, remembering John doe's message and threat from a few days ago, a feeling of dread enveloped me. Since that meeting, I had only resorted to drilling my brain to

VERONICAI’ve decided to finally meet up with Romeo.Ever since we encounterd in that bathroom stall almost a month ago, with his empty threat over my baby that never came to pass, I had been stalling the meeting with him since then, but tonight I was suddenly pushed to finally go see him.Recently, he sent a box reminding me of our supposed meeting and as I stared down at the creepy address and phone number from the box, in my hold, goosebumps erupted on my skin.It was his final warning to me and the deadline for our meeting a week from now. I don't think I can ignore anymore because deep down, I knew Romeo wasn't one to be messed with.Tonight would be a good time to go and see him, seeing as I was alone.Ace was at the gala, which for the first time ever, I was unreasonably uninvited to, courtesy of Chloe Kiss and her stuck up bestie, Jasmine I'm sure of that.Now, I couldn't even know what was going on at the show because pictures weren't even allowed inside the main event.It m

ACE. The much awaited gala was finally happening tonight and here, I was in the bathroom, finding courage. I adjusted my suit jacket in the mirror, one last time and exhaled. I can do this. I told myself what I'd been saying for the past few hours now. Because the shit I was about to pull tonight was fucking scary and insane at the same time. And I'm not sure how well it's work. After I offered to be prime sponsor for this event weeks ago, from then on I'd meticulously planned to perfection to use it as a medium to recreate the one event I owed Layde when she was my girlfriend. It was the first idea I had on how to know if she was really Layde, but now, it was the final step in my mind that would tell if I've been living in delusions or if it was really her all this while. That's, If she gets triggered by what I'm doing tonight. I know how much my past actions really hurt her, maybe that's why she was finding it hard to open up her real identity to me, but I was hoping tonig

JASMIN£ Warily, I took in the environment around me once again. A crooked building stood before me, with metal music,and heavy groans and cheers of male, emitting from the building, making the insides seem like a sort of wrestling ground. This was the location I was asked to come to. I hope I was in the right place. If I was, then I wondered why he called me here. Muscular men waltzed in and out with such normalcy, that I had to cover my face with a mask, and stay out of sight, so no one here recognizes me. I had alerted him on my arrival, and finally, a man wearing a mask came out of the building, his actions were coded, as his eyes searched the environment for a bit, before he found me. He walked to me, instructed me to put on blindfolds, I had to succumb. With sweaty palms, I let him lead me into the building. All of the voices and noise faded away as I realized we were in an elevator going underground. When the blind fold was removed, I realized just how creepy this a
