The Devil's Trap Chapter 17 ____ The Strange Client
|| 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

|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || * Three * I blurted, squirming my thighs together to stop the sinful sensation. 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
Last Updated : 2023-01-21The Devil's Trap Chapter 21 ______ You disgust me?
|| 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. Watching the old man had already triggered m

|| ACE KING's POV || " Mr.Mayor is here, Ace!" Lina said with a smirk, standing on the doorway. I let out a huff, crossed my legs before telling, " Let him in!" Mayor Dennis entered with a nervous smile, his eyes looking concerned. He greeted me with fake affection, " Good Morning, Mr.King. I got a call from your secretary last night." I didn't waste my time on explaining. Dropping the file in front of his face, I said with a smirk, " Right! You need to cover up another murder case." He wiped the sweat from his forehead, his lips pressing together into a smile. He swallowed hard before picking the files, " That..this man is CEO Martin..how..how did he offend you? Mr.King..You should restrain yourself now..This city is new to you.." I cut him off, standing on my feet, " That's why I paid you 20 million dollars in your campaign, Mr.Mayor. That's your job, not mine." His lips went shut as he reminded my big favour. Without me, his dream of becoming the Mayor of this city would

|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " What's the meaning of this secret meeting? How did you manage to get those flowers, dad? Are you bribing someone in the jail?" It didn't take a while for me to understand who sent those flowers for me. It was my dad who used to call me 'Daughter' instead of using my name. He lifted his eyes to shoot me a wicked grin, something didn't feel right about him. How did he manage to contact others? Was someone helping him out? So far, I knew that all his friends were killed or either in jail but his influence really shocked me this time. Even though he was my biological father, he was no good for me especially when I married the person that he hated the most probably. Even though I knew that his empire was destroyed,he still had a lot of useful connections. I just prayed that he wasn't digging his own grave anymore. He let out a dark chuckle, leaning to the glass before telling, " I know that you are smart, Katherine and stubborn too.. just like your father.

|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " Madam! Are you okay? Do you need anything?" It was the lady caretaker who asked me these questions. I had been splashing water on my face over the past one hour literally. The nightmares came back again. When I woke up in my empty cold bed, I was being sweaty all over. Probably, I really didn't cure myself ever. I waved my hands dismissively, " I am fine! Thanks for your concern. Just give me a coffee!" The lady caretaker nodded before leaving. She didn't look convinced by my answer. Probably, his sick torture reached all ears. The caretaker was the only person who cared for me in the house. I came out of the washroom groggily. It was late at night and I didn't see Ace for the rest of the day. But the pain in my ass reminded me of what he had done to me today. I walked to the bed to sit down leisurely. It was even more difficult to move around with my sore butt. The caretaker returned with the coffee in her hands. She placed it in front of me and of

" 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. I stayed because of your health condition but now, I badly feel that I should leave, CEO Victor..We a

" 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. Do you know the woman in the footage? Take a look at it!"Kate subco

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. Without saying anything, he rushed into the shower and turned on the faucet to calm him down. On the bed, Janet was speechless.Please..was she really such dangerous thing that he was so easily aroused?Inside the bathroom, Victor regretted laying next to her, continuing taking showers until his body turned cold like ice. At the same time, a sports car had arrived in front of the city hospital. A man's

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. He was hopelessly frustrated with being neg
