Chapter 9

Author's POV

Ace and Nick entered the club and went to the VIP section. 

They took their seats and ordered cold drinks. 

"Why did you not take action against James and his father when they were behind your accident?" Nick asked Ace and sipped his cold drink. 

Ace looked at him with little shock. 

"How did you know about this?" Ace asked him. 

"I was far from you but my eyes were not far," Nick said to him. 

"I did not want to create a useless mess. And it was a small accident. I have already threatened Jack about it" Ace said and Nick nodded at him. 

Just then they heard a birthday song that started playing on the ground floor. 

"What is happening down there?" Ace asked a waiter. 

"A birthday party sir," The waiter said to him. 

Ace nodded just then they saw James entering the VIP section with a girl.  

Ace and Nick both saw him but they ignored him totally like he was a stranger to them. 

James was about to take his seat when his eyes fell on them. 

An evil smirk displayed on his lips. He came towards them. 

"Hello, dear brother. Finally you came back. I am hurt dear brother. After 21 years you finally came back but you did not find it important to meet your family" James taunted Nick. 

Ace was about to shout at him but Nick held his hand. 

"Don't worry. I will come to meet you all. But I don't think you are going to love my visit. Tell your dad to be prepared for leaving the things which belonged to my mom " Nick said and James got taken back hearing him. 

He went away from there immediately. 

On the ground floor

Amelia entered the club being nervous. When she entered, she found Samaria talking to some people. 

As soon as Samaria's eyes fell on Amelia, she smiled and came towards her. 

"Hey, Amy. I am so glad that you are here. Come" Samaria said and took her towards a table where their college friends were gossiping. 

"Guys, look, our Amelia is here," Samaria said and everyone looked at her. 

Amelia smiled at them nervously then sat down. 

"Sam, the party is so boring. Let's do something interesting" Max said. 

"Sure. What do you want to do?" Samaria asked him. 

"Let's play truth and dare. But there is an extra rule if someone denies doing his or her part, he or she has to bear punishment" Max suggested.

Everyone nodded at him. Then they started playing. 

After some time Max spinned the bottle and it stopped in front of Amelia.

Amelia got nervous. First, she didn't want to play but as everyone agreed to play, she had no option. 

"So, Amelia. Truth or dare?" Max asked him. 

"Dare" Before Amelia said one of their college friends spoke up. 

"Guys, it is out of the rules. Let her choose" Samaria said to them. 

"Why? What is wrong with it? Is your friend afraid of dare?" Max asked. 

Samaria was about to say something but Amelia spoke up," I am ready" 

Max smirked at his victory. He wanted to make her embarrassed. During their college days, he proposed to her but she rejected him on his face which hurt his ego. He wanted to take revenge but Amelia changed college. He got the chance after five years. 

"Okay. Look upstairs. Look at the black jacket wearing man" Max said to her pointing to the VIP section. 

Everyone looked upstairs. 

"What do I need to do?" Amelia asked him. 

"Go and kiss him," Max said and everyone started laughing. Just Amelia and Samaria looked at him with anger. 

"What?" Amelia asked being shocked. 

"It is not right," Samaria said. 

"Then bear the punishment. Give us a hot dance" Max said. 

"Max, this is crazy. She is not going to do it' Samaria said. 

"Oh come on. It is a game only" Max said and everyone nodded at him. 

"Of course it is a game. But games should come to our life to give us happiness not an embarrassing moment" Samaria said.

"She has to do one of them. Isn't it guys?" Max asked looking at everyone. 

Everyone nodded at him. 

"Come on Sam, it is not like Amy never kissed a guy. It is not a big deal" Another one said. 

Amelia was cursing herself for coming here. 

"So, are you ready or want to give us the hot dance?" Max asked him. 

Amelia glared at him and stood up and went towards the upstairs. 

She looked at the black jacket wearing man who was talking to another man. 

Amelia prayed in her mind and stood behind him. 

Taking a deep breath, she grabbed his hand and turned him towards her. Her eyes fixed on his lips. She didn't even look at his face. 

Before the man could say something Amelia pulled his jacket and put her lips on his. 

Amelia felt butterflies dancing in her belly as soon as his lips met with hers. 

Amelia moved back quickly and ran downstairs without seeing the man whom she just gave her first kiss. 

Amelia went to the washroom directly and splashed water on her face. 

She touched her lips. 

"What have I done?" Amelia said to herself. 

"I shouldn’t have come here. I have to leave from here" Amelia whispered then came out from the washroom. 

She left the club without informing anyone. 

She came outside and saw there was no taxi because the weather was bad and it was almost midnight. 

"I have to walk," Amelia said and started walking towards her home but she didn't know a few drunk men were following her. 

When Amelia heard the thunder sound, she started walking fast but soon she saw some shadows beside her. 

Amelia stopped and turned when she saw few people were following her. They looked drunk and they had knives in their hands. 

Amelia got scared and started running. The men also followed her. 

And on the other side

Ace was driving his car. Nick as usual picked up a random girl and left for his penthouse. 

Ace cursed in his mind when the kiss scene came into his mind. 

He was so shocked when he saw the wild cat who dared to break his car's window. He was going to say something but she shut him with a kiss. 

Ace's mind was blank. He got lost until Nick shook him. Ace looked around for her but as usual, she vanished in the air just like before. 

Thunder was blooming heavily. It was raining hard. 

"Shit" Ace muttered under his breath. He was driving towards his home in this bad weather. 

The rain was making it so difficult for him to drive. Although the road was empty because of the heavy rain, road went under water. 

Ace felt he was driving in the sea. 

Suddenly, his phone started ringing. 

Ace looked at his phone and saw it was his mom. 

He picked up the call," Yes mom" 

"Son, I and your father are stuck in the hotel. Because of the bad weather we cannot come back home. You two have dinner and don't worry " Mrs. King said to him.  

"Okay, mom" Ace said and cut the call when his car hit something. 

He heard a scream and stopped his car immediately. 

He came out of his car and saw a body was laying in front of his car. The person was covered by a long coat. 

"Shit. What have I done?" Ace whispered in horror. 

He ran towards the person and turned her towards him. His eyes widened when he saw it was his wild cat. 

He felt his heart break into tiny pieces when he saw her condition. 

"Hey, angel woke up. Please wake up" Ace patted her cheeks. 

Amelia looked up at him and whispered, "P..please sa...save me" Saying this she closed her eyes. 

Ace's eyes widened in shock when she closed his eyes. 

Just then he saw some boys were standing in front of them. They had knives in their hands. 

Ace understood at once why she was in this condition. 

The boys looked at Amelia and thought she was dead. 

They ran away from there. 

Ace picked her up and put her in the back seat. 

He took out his phone and told his family doctor to reach their mansion as soon as possible. 

Disconnecting the call, he got in his car and started driving towards the mansion. 

Ace put her on his bed and told his maid to change her clothes then he came out of this room. 

His maid changed her clothes and made her wear Ace's shirt. Then she put a blanket on her and covered her properly. 

Soon the doctor came. 

After some time the doctor came and started checking her. 

"How is she?" Ace asked the doctor when he came out. 

"She is okay now. She got unconscious because of stress and fear. I have already given her sleeping pill. Hopefully, she will be alright when she gets up tomorrow" The doctor said to him. 

"Thank you" Ace, said and the doctor left from there. 

Ace entered his room and saw her sleeping peacefully. 

He sat down beside her and held her hand softly. 

"Why do you always fall in danger? Why are you so careless?" Ace whispered to her although he knew she could not hear him. 

Ace saw her purse on the table. He picked it up and opened the purse. He took out her ID card to find out her name. 

"Amelia Williams" Ace whispered. 

"Nice name" Ace muttered and put the ID in her purse again. Then he took her phone and messaged her mom that she would stay at her friend's house tonight. 

Then he got up from the bed and went inside the washroom. 

He took a bath then came out wearing his clothes. 

He sat down on the couch and looked at Amelia. 

He laid down on the couch. He did not want to make her uncomfortable by sleeping on the same bed. 

In the Morning, 

Amelia woke up when the sunlight fell on her eyes. When she opened her eyes she found herself in an unfamiliar luxurious room. 

Amelia held the blanket tightly when she remembered everything. Amelia looked around and saw the same person whose car glass she broke in the morning was sleeping on the couch. 

Amelia saw her clothes on the table. She got down from the bed carefully and wore her clothes then she left the room without making any noise. 

When she came downstairs her eyes widened watching the beauty of the mansion. 

"Good morning, Ma'am. How are you feeling now? Do you need anything?" A maid asked her. 

"Do you know me?" Amelia asked her. 

"Yes. Sir brought you home last night and told me to change your dress" The maid said to her. 

"Thank you for helping me. Can you show me the way out? I want to go from here" Amelia asked her. 

"Sorry, ma'am. I cannot let you out until sir tells me" The maid said making Amelia shocked. 

"Your sir only told me to go back. He is taking a shower right now. I have an interview to attend. Show me the way" Amelia lied to her. 

"Okay, Ma'am," The maid said and led her the way out. 

Amelia came out and took a taxi and left from there. 

And on the other side

Ace opened his eyes and found the bed empty. 

Ace got up at once. 

"Where is she? She must be in the washroom" Ace thought and looked at her washroom door but it was opened. 

Ace went towards the door and spoke up," Amelia, are you inside?"

But he did not get any response from inside. 

Ace entered the washroom and found it was empty. He came out and went downstairs. 

He found his maid was cleaning the couch.

"Where is the girl I brought here yesterday?" Ace asked her. 

"She left a little ago sir. She said you told her to go back so I led her outside" His maid said and Ace sighed. 

He could not blame his maid because he knew the nature of his wild cat. He felt she must have trapped her using his name. 

"Okay" Ace, said and went back to his room. 

He sat down on the bed and felt a sweet smell coming from the bed. 

Ace smiled and laid down on the bed. 

Then after some time, he went to the washroom to get a shower. He needed to go to the office. Today, he was supposed to take interviews for his PA.
