Chapter 46
Ace returned home that night with cheerfulness. He played for some time with Angel in the park and then returned home. Though Scarlet insisted she would do it, he gave the child a bubble bath, prepared dinner and also put Angel to sleep.
Scarlet was happy that after a long time finally she could see some happiness in the features of Ace. Since the murder attempt upon her, he had been a lot worried. Though he acts jovial and smiling after so many months of staying with Ace, she could at least decipher when he is acting and when he is in real happiness.
Scarlet took a warm shower and was waiting for Ace in the bedroom. But when he did not return even after half an hour she stepped down the stairs. Probably her delight was only short lived as she could hear him screa
Chapter 47The girl from the previous night who was raped multiple times got back to her senses. But she was smart this time and did not make any shouts or squeals. Hana, the rape victim by now understood the people who abducted her are heartless. No matter the amount of pleas she makes, their heart is not going to melt for her.By the time she woke up it was the wee hours of Saturday morning. The bed she slept in was now covered with blood marks. It was the sign of losing her virginity to a man who was no less than a beast. Unsurpassed abhorrence triggered in her cells for Sherlock. But could she do any harm to him except to save her own life from him at the max?Her eyes went around the room and grasped the surroundings. The room was dark with just a bed and a washroom att
Chapter 48 It was a weekend and Ace was making breakfast for his little family. Scarlet is sound asleep in the bedroom since Angel doesn't have school. Her holidays are Scarlet's holidays too. Ace's brims do not cease stretching as he recalls the previous night's events when his little fiance turned out to be a horny tigress pouncing upon him for a night of passion. He shook his head in smiles talking to himself, he had enough these days. Ace plans to take his family for an international tour. At least for a few days he and Scarlet can forget their problems and live a peaceful life. The Christmas vacation is soon going to approach. Angel will be having at least a week of holiday. He wanted to surprise Scarlet with the gift and see her reaction. Of course their li
Chapter 49Seven years agoIt was the night of celebration. She got selected in the Staff Selection Commission's (SSC) CGL Entrance Exam (Combined Graduate Level) .The young beautiful girl invited her friends to a party at the local night club to share her happiness and success in qualifying for the top most government serving organization.They had a few drinks and the gang of friends hoisted the stage to dance for one of the popular songs of Michael Jackson.Her eyes scrolled around the bar of various people smoking and dancing. The smell of sweat combined with booze was rampant in the air.It was the weekend and that added to the number of guests. The bouncer
Chapter 50Ace immediately called his chief security officer Liam as soon as he disconnected the call of Cara. He instructed him to double the security outside the private VIP room.Hana was admitted in the hospital by him with the best doctors in the city treating her and Ace was bearing all her medical expenses, since he promised her the protection and recovery from the bad experience she had in the past.It was standing instructions to all the guards safeguarding her room to shoot at sight the person whoever they find suspicious entering her room. Other than hospital staff no new person was allowed inside.'How dare he challenge him?' - Ace saw red as he recollected his conversation with Sherlock. He would help H
Chapter 51"Hello young man, you seem to be a perfectionist. What a prodigious way of handling things. Remarkable." Ace could hear claps from the other end.He had just come out of the bath to get ready for the office. When he was towel drying his hair, he could hear his phone ringing from an unknown number.He alerted his private investigator and telecom department to track the number. 'Maybe he got a clue on who is calling him'. - Ace had a cunning smirk when he lifted the call saying 'hello'."I was expecting a call from you already. You thought you would make a mess like a street dog, and I will keep cleaning all your illegal outsourcing because you use my mask? You are exposed now, Mr mafia and your little secr
Chapter 52Parents? And what did you say?" Cara's heartbeat could be heard to her ears as she asked Daniel the question."Before I could reply, the principal invited him for tea and snacks." Daniel said solemnly.Cara got to an involuntary relaxed sigh. "Stay away from that man. He is very dangerous."Daniel looked at his mother puzzled. "Why mama? He seemed to be a good person and our principal also said nice things about him.""He donated two millions to the school. Can every American citizen do that? Obviously your principal will sing praises for him." Whether Daniel understood what his mom said was something only God knew b
Chapter 53"Sherlock Hanes, the Italian mafia leader?" Ace asked for reconfirmation, squaring his eyes with Scarlet's."Yes sir, you are right." John assured him.Ace cut the call and looked at Scarlet perplexed. "Why is this guy behind you? I don't even have any connection with him in far off circles and haven't even met him till date.""But I have." Scarlet's reply was short, like hitting the bull's eye.Ace stared at her wordless, his mind going in circles and Scarlet answered his unasked question. "My father was the right hand man of the Russian Mafia leader, Prince Vangchew. Prince and Sherlock Hanes were the worst enemies. In one of the mafia wa
Chapter 54The next day….It was Saturday. There were certain things essential for the kitchen. Scarlet wanted to finish grocery shopping before Ace came back home. Angel asked her for an Almond cake. It is her favorite. And she needed to buy flour, eggs and almonds for it.Though it's a weekend, Ace is very busy. But he promised he would be back within two hours and all of them would go for lunch followed by a movie. He is having an important meeting with Chinese delegates regarding their collaboration with Richmond Industries in cotton textile manufacturing for the Chinese market.Angel is very excited. A new kids movie is released and is running in Cinepolis at noon. Ace had promised to take her ther
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
