The Devil's Trap Chapter 8 _____ The Offer
|| ACE KING's POV || " So, how was my wedding gift to you, Princepessa?" I asked with a smirk, letting myself lay comfortably on the couch. Max approached me to turn the lighter on. He knew that I liked to smoke in tense moments. Honestly, I wasn't tensed now but a little happy regarding the whole situation. Finally, Katherine Harper was back in my cage. Her eyes snapped open in rage, glaring as she faced me from five feet away. She mumbled, gawking at my face hatefully, " So... it was you...you sent those.. footage?" I didn't need to give her my explanation. Glancing up at the AC, I ordered Max nonchalantly, " Lower the temperature, Max. I am hot." It was just a little warm up of her torture. I didn't offer her any warm or dry clothes as soon as she got into the house after hours of waiting. The clock was already heading towards three a.m at night. Max followed my order. I brought my eyes back to her. She was shivering and trembling in coldness. When the AC's temperature dropp

|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || LISLE HOSPITAL, " You will be fine, Mom! I..I promise..you...you will be out of this coma, one day. I am not gonna leave you alone again!" Tears trickled down from my eyes as I held my mom's hand after a long time. Talking to her without getting any response had become my favourite hobby in these years. Whenever I visited her, I made sure to tell her everything about my life and dad. She had been in a vegetarian state ever since I was only seven. Dad said that it caused her from an accident. The doctor said that there was no hope from her side to wake up again but I wasn't willing to trust it. She was my mother. How could I give up on her so easily? Even dad sometimes said that we should let go of her to heaven but I had never agreed. Until there was one tiny hope left, I was going to wait for her. Her medical expenses were bored by me so far. Dad's savings were more than enough to give her financial support but it wasn't working for her anymore. That'

|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || Tears stung my eyes as I heard him commanding like a master as if I was just his fuck buddy. I couldn't help but growling those words out loud, " If you wanted to just fuck..you didn't need to marry me, Ace King." His sharp eyes returned to me, smirking as he slipped out of his clothes. In a few seconds, he was towering over me, pressing a finger on my lips to threaten me, " Sshh! Watch before you speak, Princepessa. I am not your prince charming anymore. I am the devil who is here to suck your soul. If I made you just my fuck body, what will the world call my child? An illegitimate one? In no way, I was going to allow it. Get on the bed and wait for me. I want your back to remember because I really don't wish to kiss your poisonous lips ever which fed me lies for years." I hated him today more than I loved me. A part of me shouted to remind me that I was responsible for the things happening today. It was me who ruined his beautiful life first. It was

|| ACE KING's POV || " The lawyer is here, Sir! Would you like to check on the papers?", Max asked, pushing open the car door slowly. I headed straight to the police station as soon as the sun rose up. I am a man of my words. I wasn't going to take back my words after she admitted defeat in front of me. Max hired the best lawyer of the town who needed a few more extra dollars to solve the cases. However, Mr.Harper was still staying behind the bars until his daughter repaid the debt to me. It made me mad when she looked so sullen and broken after our sex last night. It was supposed to be our wedding night but I made sure to make it hell for me. Now, she looked like my maiden doll, ready to be played out anytime. I put the cigarette down from my lips, murmuring as I glanced up at Max from my thoughts, " I trust you! Let him handle it!" Max gave me a small before disappearing into the closed walls of the police station. My thoughts went back to the time of our college days. She pro

|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " So, you wanted this job pretty badly, huh?" The familiar voice of the boss surprised me. I raised my chin up to look into his eyes. I gasped in surprise, happiness feathering on my features. Alexander! I mean..Alex.. Alexander was one of the closest buddy that we had in our college days. Like, he wasn't so close to know our family drama but he was pretty close to us, back on that time. I still couldn't believe that Alexander was the head of the XL Company. This morning, I left early to look for a job again. Thankfully, XL had invited me to give an interview after days of rejection. A little part of me believed that Ace was behind all of this. Even though I had the best results, I couldn't manage to get any single job in this city. Isn't it too odd? Alexander smiled big at me. His face was still so well rounded and handsome. He wore those big white glasses which always gave off an aura of scholar. Nothing changed inside him except for his uniform whi

|| 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

" 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
