The man smirked as he pulled a chair and sat opposite me. Shit, he looks like the devil himself. He has a long scar across his face, giving him that dangerous look. “I am Alex Wilston,” he spoke, his voice holding authority and it was cold. His dirty blond hair was tossed. His eyes were black, almos
He walked out and ordered someone to take care of my wound. What the fuck was happening? What is he up to now? A few minutes later, a man in a doctor's coat walks in. He looked at me with sympathy in his eyes, “I am here to attend to your wound.” He said a bit uncertain.I nodded and let him check m
Ace…I was going to murder that son of a bitch. Whoever the fucker might be. Why doesn’t his name ring a bell? I left Tinny with a fucking address. I don't know if she will be there or not, but it was something I need to look into. I couldn't waste any more time. I had to find her. We made our way t
I looked out from the dark-tinted SUV window as we approached the docks. "Remember to stick to the plan. Kill everyone. Save Bella.” I said it once again. The car came to a stop and Richard turned back to look at me. I looked at him and fixed my suit jacket. "Save her; she's your priority. That's an
Ace…"You murdered her in cold blood. Stop fucking pretending like you don't know." Walton growled. Fucking hell, he won't stop until I give him what he wants. "Fine. I remember her clearly. Grace, a blond woman, petite." I scoffed lightly, continuing. "Your sister was a sadistic woman. What she did
The man that had dropped the cage was dead in seconds as one of my men took him out. I could hear Dean shouting as he ordered the other guards. I ran as fast as I could towards the other side of the yard. My heart was racing, not from the running but from fear. Fear of losing her. I couldn't lose he
Ace… After eating lunch in the kitchen, I went back upstairs. Dean kicked me out of my room and forced me to eat, as I hadn't eaten anything in days. He had to run some errands and I understood why, but he'd stayed with me until now because I was a mess. He didn't like seeing me in this state. No o
"I've just missed you. And it was either you or Walton. Of course, I choose you.” I grinned as I took her hand again. "Ace, you had your chance to kill him but thank you for saving me. What will I do without you? I love you, Ace." She spoke as she looked down at our hands. Fuck, I've missed her voic
On our way home, we stopped at a shop brimming with vibrant candies, chocolate bars, and treats in various shapes and sizes. Chloe's eyes widened in delight; candy was undoubtedly her weakness. She peered through the glass, contemplating her choices. Bruce stood beside me, arms crossed, both of us o
Ace…My feet were resting on the desk shared by Bella and me, our office now organized and neat, though I knew it wouldn’t last long. I had spent the early hours sorting through paperwork and issuing directives. As I brought a cigarette to my lips, I inhaled the acrid smoke, watching it swirl and gr
I appreciated Chloe's charming nature; she had stunning dark brown hair and a mature demeanor, yet she could be quite mischievous. It became clear that she had inherited my personality traits. Whenever she threw a fit, it was incredibly amusing. Ace, however, did not share my amusement; he seemed to
Richard shook his head disapprovingly at Ryder, clearly unhappy with how easily he succumbed to Chloe's antics. As for me, I didn’t mind at all. Ryder was her uncle, and he could spoil her if he wished. The food arrived, and I took a sip of my wine. Laughter filled the air as everyone enjoyed themse
Bella…I urged the maids to hurry up with the dining room as we were busy setting it up. Only the finest cutlery and crystal glasses were to be utilized. The table was to be adorned with white tablecloths and red placemats. I moved gracefully around the room in a black dress that accentuated my figu
“You have created a family, my love.” I returned her smile, gently rubbing her shoulder as I looked down at the way she cradled her so effortlessly. She traced a finger through her dark hair. "She’s going to look like you," she said with a soft chuckle. "What have you decided?" I asked, feeling a se
The atmosphere was intense. "It's okay, Bella. I'm right here with you." I gave a reassuring smile while holding her hand. The fear coursed through me. Her contractions came in waves, accompanied by a mix of screams and whimpers. I could see the exhaustion etched on her face, but I believed in her s
She sat down on the lounger, gazing straight ahead, the sun's glare making it difficult to look up. I approached her and settled down beside her on the spacious lounger, using my arm to support her head, creating a makeshift pillow. "Ashton called me a whale the other day," she scoffed. "What a jerk
Ace… I secured my firearm back onto my belt after taking a man's life. He had it coming; he was undermining me and it was intolerable. "Clean it up," I commanded with a snap of my fingers. My team sprang into action, quickly removed the blood, the body, and any trace of what had happened here. As
