Chapter 33
After meeting Mary, Carl informed his boss what she had told him about Scarlet. But like always his difficult mafia leader was not convinced with his representation.
Sherlock ordered Carl either he should send him the proof that Scarlet is dead or find out where she is and extract the code from her. The secret code was very essential for the survival of the Italian mafia which has been running on a record low of less than a million mafia operations since the past five years. The code is the key to rejuvenation of their success.
Scarlet's father was a devoted employee and the right hand of Russian mafia leader Prince Vangchew. During the time (almost two decades ago) he gave him the secret code before dying that it should be passed to future generations in or
Chapter 34The next morning Carl reached Sherlock's mafia warehouse with eyes shining as bright as stars in happiness. Scarlet is not in the convent and did not return to the hostel as well. She is surely dead.The girl was almost having a panic attack when she fled from her room after hitting him on his head. Being brought up with morals and ethics, violence was not her trait and that became his biggest advantage against her.No matter how many times her friends cautioned, he had turned her eyes blinded with his fake love which turned a cent percent success.Seeing him with another woman was the shock of her life for innocent Scarlet. She tried to attack him with a broken bottle trying to be the bold wo
Chapter 35"Why is there a necessity for her to come back to Perth. That billionaire fiancee of hers can get her a seat in any part of the world using his reputation and can pay any amount of fees." Sherlock blew on Carl's face with anger who stared at him spell shocked, still not able to recover from the news he got from him.Did the girl he thought of as an innocent maiden really manipulate a billionaire businessman with her smartness, not only continue her education using his reputation but also to soon marry him? The whole episode appeared like an unbelievable dream to Carl."How do you know she is engaged to Ace Taylor? Might be your informers are wrong s
Chapter 36 Sherlock Hanes had driven away Carl from his mafia operations after being unsuccessful in getting a grip on Scarlet. But associated with the underworld he had to keep his eyes everywhere. There is no area which he can overrule and move forward especially regarding Scarlet who is his secret storehouse of money and source for survival of his mafia re-entry. After Carl left him, he ordered his chief security Bill to follow him and get a narco test done on him. Regarding narco analysis tests, sodium pentothal is injected into the person's body. Also known as the 'truth serum'. This injection transports the accused to a hypnotic state. In this state, it is believed, the accused is incapable of lying.
Chapter 37Sleep took over like sedation for the earthly magic of evolution that they had undergone. An hour later, the cry from the monitor 'mama' woke Scarlet up from her thick slumber.Ace's eyes were closed. His mind and body relaxed after a very long time. It appeared like his months of penance to get back his lost love had finally bore him a fruit - the love making between them was explicitly fulfilling.With one of his hands under his head and the other playing with his hair of Scarlet, his voice was groggy and charismatic while his eyes continued to stay closed. "Thank God, she allowed us to complete what we started."Scarlet stayed mute and bit the inside of her cheek. She unties her body from Ace's arm and scampers to the washroom to clean up
Chapter 38A week laterIt was Angel's birthday the next day. Scarlet was making cookies for their little bundle of joy. Angel had invited all her friends.As per her wish, Ace had gifted her a bicycle and Scarlet baked her favorite Vanilla cake along with chocolate pudding.Angel was dressed pretty in a green ball gown that matched her turquoise eyes. It was time to blow the candles and sing the birthday song when there was a knock at the door. A parcel arrived for her from New York.Scarlet knew what it was! But she wanted it to keep as a surprise for Angel. Inside the gift box was a huge teddy bear with many chocolates. Yes, the gift was from the convent.
Chapter 39All of them got into a Mercedes Benz waiting at the school parking lot. Scarlet was too shaken to speak anything and she stayed in her own world. Angel was sitting between both her parents.Throughout the ride Ace kept talking to someone on the phone. Though she could not understand the language which was Italian and French she could make out he was not happy with the outcome as it was related to a mishap she was about to suffer.He kept shouting at the other person on the line. Angel, who was silent till then crawled into Ace's lap, hugged him and put her head on his chest with her legs on either side of his waist. Only then did Ace realize his anger was going beyond the boundary. He patted her little back and calmed himself for the sake of Angel.
Chapter 39 Sherlock took rounds in the large hall puffing out smoke from his cigar. Bill was standing besides with his legs apart and hands tucked behind waiting for the order of his boss. "That bastard Ace Taylor is tossing the whole world in search of me. One clue from that construction building and I'm out of this world." There was a sound from the kitchen and the sixty year old mafia leader slithered with fright like a torn paper. Bill was surprised. The beast who could kill any human on earth without the least remorse within a blink of his eye was as frightened as a frog on seeing a snake. He rushed to the kitchen and saw a black cat which jumped onto the cooking platform through the window and wa
Chapter 40***** FLASHBACK CONTINUED*****The next day's newspaper headlines thrashed the city. The human loss at the massacre was more than 500 with more than thousand people admitted in the hospital battling the situation between life and death."The earlier blasts were at shopping malls. Did the nation's most wanted criminal change his nature of killings? What are his intentions? Why doesn't he communicate to the state about his demands rather than simply killing thousands of innocent people? But there is one thing that he did not change regarding the serial blasts - the dropping of his identity, letter 'u'. A big carton with Letter 'u' written in black was seen in the bushes of the road dividers.Family me
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
