Chapter 38
A week later
It 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 41The next day…..Dressed in a sharp black blazer complemented by a crisp white shirt, Cara Knights stride with confidence, her polished black shoes echoing on the pristine cream-colored tiles. As a junior officer in the NIA, she had already spent six years dedicated to her career. Despite her relatively limited experience, Ms. Knights had been assigned to eleven of the most challenging locations, enduring transfers occurring every six months. Her unwavering commitment to honesty and sincerity made her a role model among her peers.Cara's exceptional skills in handling her duties stirred jealousy even among the most seasoned officers. She had garnered numerous accolades and received praise from her superiors at each of her postings. The array of awards adorni
"Just ten minutes. Okay?" He requested her. Sania did not want to part with him even for a second now that they are finally under the same roof. She did not wish to disturb him but was silently enjoying his presence which is now very close to her. Just the arrival of the realization in her mind brought a sweet thrill in her. It was a feast to her eyes swimming in the ecstasy of his self embodied gorgeousness. His back was facing her speaking to someone on the phone before he spoke to the assembled men. Subsequently Henry notices Sania. She came back from her room and was watching him standing in the corner. Henry turns back and sees her and she squares him with an everlasting grin. He understands her craving for his presence beside her, how much she misses him that she does not want to lose his picture even for a few minutes. Unknowingly she was causing him only more trouble than what he is in the present. He could no way have the meeting when she is around. Also he could not tell h
Chapter 43Though she acted bold during the attack Scarlet was a piece of meat by the time all the action in the house was over. Her face was red with trepidation as if she had seen a ghost. Droplets of sweat settled on her forehead like she had run a marathon even when the temperature was less than 5 degrees in the city.If something would have happened to her how would she protect Angel? "My cute princess..." Scarlet whispered, rushed to the child's bedroom, and hugged her. "Angel my Sunshine..." She kissed her face, little arms endlessly and pulled her to her chest."Mama" Angel murmured in her sleep, laid her little arms around Scarlet's neck, and slept soundly again.She rubbed her belly. "You're safe my baby, you're safe." She muttered.Scarlet c
Chapter 44 Cara Knights saluted the chief. "Take a seat. So what is the latest development on the case, Cara?" The chief asked. "Thank you sir." Cara took the seat across from the chief. "Somebody had barged into Ace Taylor's house, blinding the eyes of his security. Guessing by the way he killed the bodyguards, the ability to enter inside the house in spite of such massive security accomplishes the fitness of his body, I can guess he is not more than thirty years old and extremely professional." Cara put forward the file. "Also I have discovered the blast in the city mall and attack on Scarlet were not around the same time. Initially I had a suspicion that Edmond Taylor was the person who was planning
Chapter 45 Just like she planned the next morning Cara visited the government general ward where the boy who sold balloons to Edmond was admitted. The nurse came and checked the temperature of the boy before she gave him the medicine. "Hello Jack, this is Cara Knights, from the special branch who came to investigate the case of serial bomb blasts which took place in several cities in America." "I came to meet you and ask for help. Will you guide me to identify the person responsible for such a huge massacre in the United States? Your efforts will be appreciated by the state if you decide to help and I will see you get a huge reward for helping the cops on this mission." The strong and stern voice of the NIA officer was gone, replacing the soft loving tone which only a
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
