She felt the wetness between her legs. He was handsome, an Apollo dressed to kill. He had the darkest blonde hair and most beautiful green eyes that Scarlet could spend an age staring at.
Ace Taylor was a man with few words and more action. He held a kind of aplomb, a grandeur with which he carried himself.
"Get freshen up, outfits are waiting for you there. Put the one you like and come back to my office." He cleared his throat after having a glass of water. "My secretary will accompany you to the suite. You can tell her your size and she will get you your...I mean...." He trailed off so as not to make her feel uneasy.
What was Scarlett going to do now? Will she accept Ace's invitation or since he is already taken man find her own way to her destination?
Tugging a pink towel around her wet body she came out of the steaming bathroom standing before the rack. After looking at the varieties of dresses, and casuals hanging before her, Scarlet could not decide on what to choose. She was speechless. If only she could afford it she wanted to buy the entire wardrobe.Little did innocent Scarlet know Ace talked to sister Mary to get her permission in bringing her with him to Pennsylvania, to pursue her education and maybe help her start a career in his concern itself. He is a renowned businessman in pharmaceuticals and nutrition is a sub branch of medicine. Employing her in his firm will not be a big deal to him and she would get a good break if she starts her career from Johnson group of Industries.How was Scarlett's life going to turn with the intervention of Ace? Will he become the knight
"Read it and you will understand. Afterward, you can sign it here." Ace points to a place with the pen and speaks to her in a care as gentle as a caress."This is an application for graduation in Home Science from the University of Pennsylvania. It is very difficult to get through here." She confirms going startled.Ace shrugs in nonchalance. "You have got some of the best grades anybody could have asked for."Scarlet stares at him unbelievably. "I applied for this university earlier too but I did not get it. Do you have anything to do here with my admission?"Ace looks down at Scarlet in an intrigued grin but then gets back to his stoical nature not speaking anything.
She had fallen in love with the right person at the wrong time. Why did she have to go drunk at the bar and meet this charismatic entrepreneur in the first place? And of all the places in Perth, why should she take refuge only under his roof. Yes, it sounds like a fairy-tale but unfortunately it is not and the reality of her life.She could not continue her education in a university where she had worked so hard to win a scholarship because of Lothario who tried to rape her. Why should she bear the brunt of actions for a crime that she has not committed? Carl is not dead. And whatever she did to him was under the grounds of self-defense. Otherwise she would have been dead today.However she also knew taking rounds of the court her hairs would turn gray but with no justice. When she needed someone's help the most, Ace
Ace grilled his words in temper. "You are not an intruder because I have willingly invited you into my home. I do not have any problem if you stay here. But if you want to go then it is your choice." He had tried enough to instill some sense in the head of an inconsistent jejune who can't even decide what dress to put on in the closet filled with dresses. Yes, his secretary informed him about Scarlett's dilemma to choose between the outfits. All these days he was trying to help her save her career by giving her an opportunity but Scarlet is not only a fool but rigid and peeve too.She nodded in understanding but her eyes like always were trained to the floor during their conversation. "Thank you."Ace pummeled his fist into the wall with anger making Scarlet flinch in fear and walked out of the place. Scarlet did not know why he was
Scarlet decided to leave Ace's home. Nevertheless, when she was acting on it a gut wrenching feeling of sadness occupied the pit of her stomach. The very origin of the thought got emptiness in her heart. This is what she wanted. Then why was she feeling sad instead of staying happy?A lone tear fell out from the corner of her eye. Scarlet gulped and quickly wiped the tear away as if it was blunder not to be committed at any cost. This was the moment of happiness, not meant for crying, she pep-talked to herself.Scarlett contemplated if she needed to inform Ace of her leaving the house but the scene that went the previous morning rehearsed in her brain. Ace almost broke the wall with anger. Her heart missed a beat with fear and she decided not to inform him of anything.
"I'm thankful to you for your benevolence and kind-heartedness in saving me from court rehearsals, hearings, and cops regarding my situation with Carl. You have given me a new life by helping me with a seat in a university many of us can only dream of. But I do not want to be a burden upon you anymore." Scarlet slightly bowed before him and resumed her task of cleaning.Ace's teeth went chitter-chatter with temper. Within a leap of her eyes he stood in front of her as dangerous as a reckoning Tsunami."What is it with you? I only told you to come home and you're giving me a lecture here." Ace wasn't accustomed to listening, he gives orders and others listen to him. Scarlet was work, the complete opposite of his female preference but he has no idea why he wanted her happy and comfortable.
Sania wasn't able to understand the cryptic declarations of her protector but one thing was clear. She was idealistically attracted to him. Her complete body was on an ache to be touched by him and tingles erupted in her nerves yearning for his hands on her body. She drew herself closer to him and he pressed his palms on her back in protectiveness. Not an iota of air could pass between them. The warmth of his skin pressed hard against her, transformed Sania into a different world. She ducked her head in the crook of his neck and inhaled his scent and everything around felt non-existent. It was only him and her. In a fraction she felt heated, solicited by an uncontrollable desire. His canoodle ignited a spark in her rioting nerves and her heart began to beat rapidly against his chest. He certainly could feel it. She knew because moments later he stared back into her eyes in an alarm. "Sania" he called her in a warning. "This isn't good." He commanded her. "What do you mean? What
The principal made a loud yelp drawing his face to the ground. He had made a blunder listening to his dick rather than mind. But it was too late to realize. In the court of Ace Taylor there is no second chance. One mistake, and the man is finished. He is a good pay master but a very strict boss and Pennsylvania university comes strictly under his jurisdiction no matter what's the name he is associated with."Finished pulling your foolish stunts? Now come home." He pulled Scarlet out of the scene where gossiping had already started.Scarlet kept staring at him as he guided her to his car and asked in innocence. "What happened? Why were you angry with the principal and why was he on his knees begging before you to save him?"Ace was already a burning sun ball by then. He
Chapter 108 Ace points to the couch sitting opposite their bed. "That is small for both of us to sleep." Scarlet voices her concern. "Darling, if we need to sleep beside one another, we do not need a couch. We can as well sleep on the bed. A couch is to sleep one above the other." A naughty smile was playing on his lips. Scarlet places Vance in his little bassinet and walks to the couch. Ace sleeps sideways behind Scarlet. Covering them in a blanket, he places his hand around her chest squeezing and fondling her breasts. He slightly pulls her pants down and enters from behind her. "Angel might wake up." Scarlet cautions Ace. "There is no way she would wake up. She is sound asleep and even if she wakes up, she wouldn't know what we are doing. We are covered in a blanket." Ace whispers in Scarlet's ears and continues to pound inside her. Slowly the passion builds up in Scarlet. She closes her eyes in ecstasy and an involuntary soft moan releases out of her instigating Ace to touch
Chapter 107Ace feared she would land back to convulsions perceiving her red face and droplets of sweat settling on her forehead. "Darling everything is okay. You are fine. The man left the world long ago." He spoke hastily fearing Scarlet's health.Fortunately, there were no convulsions but Scarlet wasn't going through the best phase either. She stomped to unconsciousness instantly.As the doctor hinted at him in their previous consultation, Ace was prepared for everything. He carried her imperturbably to their bedroom.Little Angel walked behind. "Daddy, what happened to mommy? Why does she often faint?" She asks with her eyes watering. "Did I hurt mamma, that she sleeps frequently?" Her voice was now breaking into a cry.Ace brought out a syringe from the closet, injected medicine into it, and administered it to Scarlet. Though he wasn't associated with the medical field, Ace took a short-term medical course to help the health of his wife. Scarlet was his life, his happiness, and h
Chapter 106"Merry Christmas" Ace greets Scarlet the next day as soon as she wakes up with a tray filled with breakfast of bacon, toast, and pineapple juice along with fruit pie as a dessert."Merry Christmas to you too." Scarlet greets Ace pecking his lips. But Ace had a different intention. The kiss intensified giving rise to a heated smooch and the romantic couple landed on another round of early morning sex until they heard a knock at the door.Little Angel walked in rubbing her eyes still not getting rid of sleep. "Daddy Dora did not get the flower from the fairy." She twisted her lips. Ace chuckles and brings her into his lap kissing her cheek."It is only a dream princess. Dora will get the flower from the princess."For the next two hours, Angel kept fussing for Dora with a flower. Ace had to search half of the kid stores in Pennsylvania to get his daughter, Dora, with a flower from the fairy. Ultimately it became a Christmas gift for her.Daniel was always the older disciplin
Chapter 105"Since I was brought up in a convent from my childhood I couldn't get to do certain things which many normal teenage girls would do at that age. So...." Scarlet stopped, calculating the features of Ace and if she could speak further."So?" Ace raised a single brow. He did not know where this conversation was going but he surely suspected something fishy.Scarlet bit the inside of her cheek suddenly going shy and not able to meet her husband's eyes. "So, I want to get drunk, smoke, dance freely with a man, and end up with him on the bed."Ace left an uncomfortable chuckle, shook his head, unable to believe his ears. He did not understand how to react to his wife's insane request. "You have gone crazy, Scarlet." He exclaimed. "It is not abou
"Anytime I see talks on women empowerment in our families, education of girls, helping them progress, finding them jobs, scholarships, I hear music playing in my head. It increases my heartbeat, causing tension in my arteries. It increases my cortisol levels, testosterone decreases. The left hemisphere in my brain is stimulated." Rickey said going hysterical while pulling the hairs on his head. Sania was frightened seeing his changing personality. She took several steps back from him. It wasn't usual for Rickey to behave in such a way. She had been seeing him since his diaper days and found his body language suspicious. "Rickey you are behaving like an imbecile. What are you doing at this hour in my house, Rickey? Go, get ready. Don't you have school to attend?" She scolded him in response to an older sister mustering her last drop of courage. "When a beautiful rose like you is alone in the house, how can I go and attend the boring lecture of that English teacher? I had been attract
Sania picked up the unexpected call at the odd hour of midnight. She wondered what her parents wanted to speak to her at past 12. Sania picked up the call cheerfully with a smile but the next second what she heard made her fingers tremble and her heart skip a beat. Sania's mother Margaret who was always a brave woman started sobbing on the phone. Her father suffered a stroke and urgently required two stunts near his heart to save his life. The Collins family couldn't afford the cost. Failing to get the surgery done within a month Sania will be losing her father. It was news indigestible for Sania. But she was the older child and had the responsibility to be the backbone of her family. She gulped the obstruction forming in her throat and spoke positively to her mother. "Mama do not worry. Just take care of dad and I will arrange the funds for daddy's treatment." "How would you do that? You are still a student?" Her mother asks but there was a ray of hope in Margaret's speech. She ha
Chapter 102"Get out of my house." Scarlet turned a deaf ear and yelled showing the exit to him.Ace walked away without a head turn. She was not in a position to listen to him and her dad was in her favor. He felt a further conversation was useless.When he slept around becoming a womanizer nothing affected him in this world. Today when he is a responsible and changed man, his past actions have started hunting him like an irrevocable sin.He could understand Scarlet. From her point of view no woman would like to have a life of insecurity. She doesn't know how many kids she has to accept as her family in future because of her husband's once upon a time infidelity.
Chapter 102Ace reached Vangchew's mansion with a lot of positivity. The smile on his brims doesn't seem to stop. Somebody might call him a mad man. But he doesn't mind. He would be taking back his wife shortly to his home. At the moment probably he would be the happiest man in the world.As soon as he rang the bell, a maid opened the door. Scarlet was upstairs in her bedroom and came out to the long corridor connecting both the staircases that were on either side of the enormous mansion."Who is it, Charla?" Her soft voice felt like a melody to his ears. It was after a very long time he was hearing her. In walked Ace with the everlasting grin but the moment he raised up his head and looked at Scarlet, the happiness in his eyes and the smile on his face, both were lost
Chapter 101In another part of the cityBrianna pulled the dining chair behind and sat on it. She forked the noodles and started to eat them after putting in some sauce. "What is the exciting news you wanted to share with me Sherlock?"The brightness in his eyes was greater than the light of the sun. "The love birds broke up! One of our sources says Ace has an illegal physical connection with the NIA Investigation officer Cara Knights and as a result of the relationship they have a son. Scarlet came to know about it and she separated from her husband. Prince Vangchew is getting the matter investigated. If the news is true, then we need not make any effort to kill Ace. Vangchew will do the work for us.""Wow" a jubil
