|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV ||

" YOU FUCKING JOINED IN ALEXANDER'S COMPANY???"

Ace threw me harshly on the ground, my knees hitting the cold floor beneath. I held back a yelp from coming out. He looked mad and wild, his irony gaze pinning me on the ground. He tugged his collar off, pulling off the tie like a mad man. His breathing was coming out as pants as he started approaching me in unsteady steps. His eyes looked like they were red from drunkness. I never saw him in rage before and it gave me shudder, running through her spine.

I retorted sharply, not caring about the burn in my wrists,

" SO???? Alexander is my friend. What's wrong with joining his company?"

Ace let out a grunt, his fingers raking roughly through his hairs,

" You didn't even bother to ask me? All of your wishes have been fulfilled. Why the fuck you decided to join him?"

My anger was at its peak. At first, I had to deal with his slutty mistress. Now, it was him again who was demanding answers from me. I was fee

    || KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " May I have your name, Mam?" The guard from the gate questioned me, eying at me suspiciously. I mean, they had every right to do that since they never saw me before. I came to the old house where some old staff members had gathered to pay respect to Ace's mother. After he took me like a cave man, I went to take snacks downstairs. At that time, the house maid told me about the funeral ceremony that no one was attending. I knew that Ace never liked his parents but it was too harsh to ignore someone who had been dead already. The housemaid shared her sorrow about not having any family members to attend the ceremony. I knew that it was useless to request Ace to come here. So, I took the charge in my own hands, and arrived to pay respect in a black satin dress. Ace had no idea about my arrival here. He would be pissed off again but it was nothing new. At least, one of the family members would attend the ceremony. I gave a small smile to the guard before giv

    || KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " So..you live alone in this big apartment?" I questioned Alexander who turned out to be my unexpected savior. He was coming from his country town that day and coincidentally discovered me on the road. I was badly drenched, wincing and whimpering in coldness. Thankfully, he offered me a ride but kept asking me the same questions consistently. He wanted to know what I was doing in the middle of the road. How would I tell him that my jerk husband had left me there without even bothering to take a second look? Next, Alexander brought me to his apartment, considering how badly drenched I was. It was huge, thrice from the apartment that I was living in abroad. Even the walls of his apartment screamed money. After coming here, I figured out that he used to live alone. There wasn't even a single maid, available in his apartment. Alexander chuckled on my words, going over to sit on his black couch. He said with a shrug, "I don't like outsiders in my private t

    || ACE KING's POV || " Touch yourself, Lina! Make it hard!" I ordered, barging into her room. She sat up hastily, all excited just to see me. I didn't fuck her ever since I married the woman whom I hated the most. A part of me wanted to give her the traumas that her husband is cheating on her but other parts of my heart feel scared of disrespecting something holy called marriage. After living years under the clutch of abusive parents,I had always told myself that I would cherish my married life. But here I am!! I married the girl that I loved for revenge, giving her the taste of losing a child. Lina appeared excited, nodding her head before getting on the bed to spread her legs. She was always ready to please unlike someone who had an obsession with making me angry. I hopped to the mini bar, fetching a few glasses of drinks to keep myself distracted. Because I had no intention to fuck Lina. All I wanted was to torment the girl, living next to the room. Lina started doing her thin

    || KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " Come In!" Alexander voiced out after I knocked on his door for the third time. He was having a conversation with a bald man in front of him. After Ace dropped me off nearby, I had to block all the negative thoughts in my mind. I guessed that pregnancy wouldn't be so easy for me, considering how I missed my period regularly. However when the doctor uttered the truth, I didn't like it as much as I should. In my mind, I probably really wanted to become the mother of Ace King's child. " You have a meeting with the griffins, Alex. Would you like to dismiss it?" I inquired, using my professional voice. Alexander asked me to stop calling him 'Sir'. So,I quit calling him 'Boss' but I could tell that many staff from his office didn't like it. Alexander raised his eyes to smile at me, speaking in a warm voice, " No need, Katherine! We are done already! Oh, Meet Mr Jeremy. He is our new client." Mr.Jeremy stood up first to greet me. When our eyes met others,

    || KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " Why are you doing this to me??" I whispered, tears of betrayal forming in my eyes. After a long time, I really thought that someone actually had good intentions for me. But it was all proven a lie when Alex appeared in the spot, fully dressed like a villain. He had never left the town. He wanted to trap me in his evil game. Alex stopped, upon hearing me. His eyes rested on me so cold and emotionless. I didn't see the sympathy in his eyes that he showed me in his office. He looked nothing less than a cold blooded monster. He sneered at me, growling, " You think that I don't know, you are married to Ace King? I have known it from the beginning. That's why, you were there in my office, Sweetheart. Or else.. what do you think that I gave you the job?" It broke my heart to know that he did everything for revenge. I thought that I was finally capable but it seems like, everyone just wanted to use me for their own sick game. Alex continued, hatred lacing ou

Despite our hatred, I hated to admit that his punishment unleashed some darker side inside me. My core started throbbing as soon as he slapped my ass cheeks. This man!! And his sick torture! How did I date him back then? Tears blurred my eyes but my body told the difference. I was sinfully enjoying every bit of it until another hard slap came without warning. * Four * I blurted through my clenched teeth, burying my head into the pillow. He growled, pinching on my ass cheeks, " You won't go to work anymore!!" I whimpered, pressed my lips together, " I am not your puppet.." " Ah...", another unexpected slap came as he groaned hissing, " You don't have the say! You almost lost your life!" I rebuked even though it was aching on my ass, " I have! I didn't make any deal with you that I can't work outside. So, I have the final say. I can't be a full time housewife. You kno

    || KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " WHAT DID YOU DO TO ALEX?" I barged into his office room, frustrated and furious. Even though Alex did wrong to me, I didn't want to ruin his life. I wasn't a dog like him. Pretty sure, Ace was behind the plot and game. Natasha chased after me, her piercing eyes on me as he tried to act like a good assistant, " Boss..I tried to stop her but she.." " LEAVE!", Ace blurted, lifting his eyes from the files. He looked charming in his dark grey suit. Subconsciously, I sucked down to my lower lips. He looked hot but he was the devil. Natasha didn't live, only smiled, assuming that Ace told me to get out. Ace furrowed his brows lightly at her, repeating his command, " I told you to leave us alone, Natasha!" Natasha seemed surprised a bit. After a moment of anger, she left unhappily. I didn't know why every girl swam over him like a fly. I mean, he was hot but it wasn't that to the point of going crazy all over him. Ace replied, standing up from his arm ch

    || KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " You hate me, don't you?" I asked in a whisper, hearing the door getting opened. His smell seemed different today. Instead of fresh cologne, he smelt like a raw and eaten. When I rolled on the bed to face his standing silhouette, my stomach dropped instantly. Ace's body was full of blood, stained with different marks. If I didn't know his character, I would have thought that he came back after killing someone without my knowledge. He replied, walking across the room as if he did nothing, " Why should I hate you more today? I have hated you already." I got on my knees, starting at his white stained t-shirt, " What did you do exactly? I don't understand you anymore,Ace! You sound like a gangster to me." He said nothing in return. Turning around, his lips curled up into a smirk before reminding, " Good wife don't question their husbands, Princepessa! Didn't I tell you that?" I kept my curiosity to myself.

    " Sister Janet! It's too late! Why don't you stay in our company's hotel?", Lily suggested, quickly catching up with her pace. Janet pondered for a while and found that it was better now. Now the clock had tickled to 11 P.M at night and there was no call from Victor, she assumed that he hadn't returned yet. Furthermore, she felt bored in the house all alone. Janet nodded with her in agreement and looked behind the tall building," You sound right! I will stay overnight here then. Call the manager to notify him once."Recently, SKYWINGS started earning well slowly. CEO Gary quickly bought this hotel nearby to expand the business. For the artists under SKYWINGS, they had a privilege in their sub branches such that she could stay in this hotel without any cost.After manager Aiden had confirmed that Janet could stay at the hotel, Lily left her at the entrance and drove back to her own house. From the hidden Maybach, Noah had his eyes fixed on the girl who was bidding farewell to her assi

    Janet coughed vigorously before asking to double check. Her eyes were slightly widened in shock," Mmm! CEO Gary..are..are you sure that these rules are not for me?"Naturally, the company gives multiple clauses to artists to keep up with their perfect image. So, Janet was obviously doubtful even questioned about CEO Gary's authority in her heart. CEO Gary made a face like he wanted to smack this dumb woman's head. He put another cupcake into his mouth before telling," Do you think that I would come here personally to humiliate myself just to show you this?"Janet was speechless. Even Andrew who heard the pathetic terms came across to take a look at the papers. His eyes were big in disbelief as he slammed the papers down to blurt out loud," No way! Janet! He must be a fake CEO!"CEO Gary rolled his eyes and leant against the couch leisurely. His lips twitched in the mockery before asking Andrew back," Boy...you have never been in love right?"Andrew seemed dumbstruck by his questio

    The engagement news was kept hidden. Since when CEO Fred heard it from Janet's mouth, he was baffled out before losing the ability to say anything. His marriage to the heir of Graham's family was fixed. That heir from the Graham family was a spoiled woman who could even beat men. Because of her share from the company's family, CEO Fred agreed to marry her. However, the girl had only one rule which was that he had to stay far away from women. If she finds anything again, she would come to break his leg personally.That mad woman..CEO Fred was internally freaking out but however, he couldn't even talk now or do anything. Janet was satisfied with the terrified expression on his face. She simply pulled her phone out and clicked a few pictures of CEO Fred who was laying half-conscious. Without hesitation, she sent it to his Fiancee. After all, the girl was innocent and she deserved to know the true face of this scum.After taking a few pictures from different angles, Janet saw that the pa

    Janet took a deep breath to calm herself down. She rubbed her forehead aching and finally said in a serious voice," CEO.. Victor...You are too much really..I feel like you are seducing me to stay at your home. Please you are an honorable person. You deserve to act all high and proud. Why are you insisting on chasing me?"Victor let out a helpless sigh. He had nothing to respond actually. It was more like a first sight. The moment he saw her in the hospital, he wanted her as his own. So, he approached her slowly and cautiously. It felt as though he was attracted to her from the beginning. He ignored her question, said apologizing," I..I am sorry..I have gone overboard..I know that you don't like me..but I can't help.. really.."Janet didn't feel convinced with her words. She replied sternly, looking down at her feet," I guess, it's not convenient for me anymore to stay at your home.

    " What opinions?", Noah entered into the dining room, looking extremely tired. The new company was taking a lot of his strength to build up. When he appeared on the entrance, he barely heard about the elders, discussing about something regarding his opinion.Jonathan smiled big at his son, replied after patting the seat next to him," There, my son! We were talking about your marriage to Jessica."Noah froze in his track, looked blankly at the elders as if they were cracking jokes. However, Jessica was already blushing. She lowered her head down to hide her smile. Noah retorted sharply, turning grim in annoyance," What... what did you say? Getting married to Jessica? Since when did I agree?"The dinner table fell awkwardly silent. His response even shocked Jessica who looked up at him stupified. Jessica never expected that Noah was going to refuse to marry her even after finding the dark sides of Janet.Didn't he say that he hated Janet for abandoning her family for her dream?Mother

    Kate was flabbergasted with an expression of being frozen over decades. She looked around uncertainly and indeed noticed that there was nothing special in the room. If it was a date, there should have been flowers, candles or anything fascinating. However, the room was looking nothing less than a haunted place.Kate suddenly had a very bad feeling. She looked up at the man who was smoking lazily. His legs were wobbly crossed, a kingly aura surrounded the air around him. A few buttons of his retro suit were frankly opened, highlighting the taut muscles underneath. She suddenly had a feeling of being trapped by a Mafia Boss.Kate cleared her throat, embarrassing," Then..why..did you call me CEO Victor?"She dared not to address him by his name so casually. Victor peeked his head outside through the layer of smoke. He pointed at the screen beside them and told casually," Miss Kate! I needed some confirmation from you.

    That area was hot and rocking, igniting fire with the gentlest touch in her hand. Never in her imagination, she thought that Victor would act so repulsive. Her blush became obvious and she retreated her hand hastily. Victor took a deep breath and appeared terribly on the surface. Janet mumbled, unsure about what to do," I...I am sorry..I didn't know.."Even she had no idea why she was saying sorry. But after she sounded guilty, Victor felt more wrong.Damn it! What was wrong with his body?He acted like a horny teenager who was excited to see his girlfriend's boobs for the first time.

    When Lily heard what the crazy audience was speaking about her, she was dumbstruck at her place. She didn't expect that people would notice from the car. Worst of all, some even began to take pictures of them, fighting together.Andrew cursed under his breath, yelled at the stupified woman who was looking blank, clueless," Get back! Get back into the car! Shit!"Lily was suddenly snapped back to reality, jumped back into the car and quickly pulled up the glasses. However, she was still scared a bit and spoke with a solemn expression," God! Did they really take pictures of us? Will we be on the headlines tomorrow?"She sounded resentful as if it was the worst thing that could happen to her. Andrew glared at the woman who treated him like a worthless paper. He even grounded his teeth so hard that it started aching. Other girls always had a dream to make headlines with him. Probably, she was the first person who didn't want any news with him.
