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 screaming at someone on the phone. "Damn it! Because she is my wife."
Ace sat on one of the super soft leather sofas in the sitting room and was observing Scarlet without making himself obvious as she completed her assignment. She looks so innocent and pristine with a pencil playing between her lips. Her long chest-nut braided hair fell on her front passing through her bosom and reaching the side of her torso.His heart skipped a beat as he recalled her blue eyes that sparkled with delight whenever he bought her something that she likes. Unlike costly jewelry, party wear dresses, small things like an ice-cream could make Scarlet happy.If he tells her his wild intentions, mesmerized by her pretty antics, she would make a roll-up. Her lips would pucker up in anger with a scrunched nose. Just imagining her face which would look so funny at the same time cute, Ace chuckled. 
Restraining her laughter she continues to stare at him with seriousness. Scarlet knew where he was watching but she did not mind. She knew he was attracted to her and so was she. But she wanted to see his reaction. Thus she argued she was single, unmarried, and can date any man. Ace rightly fell into the pit getting super jealous and she was having fun pulling his leg on the most appropriate cause.She cleared her throat to bring his gaze to her face rather than on her bust and spoke while arranging the breakfast for Angel in the bowl. "The breakfast is ready on the table for you. I'm going to church since today is Sunday.""Scarlet, when are you going to speak to me normally? It has been more than four weeks since the incident with your classmate." Ace was suddenly before her. His chest was almost touching hers and not a millimeter
"Why were you both locked inside the kitchen?" Angel asked her father innocently with tear-filled eyes."Scarlet wanted to place some of the groceries on the top shelf behind the door. So I was helping her, princess." Ace tried to reason out to his three-year-old daughter who was staring at him innocently raising her head like she was seeing the sky.After a few moments of gawking between both of them which was looking so cute and funny, wordless, she lifts her little hands to Ace to be picked and he willfully agrees bringing her to his chest and kisses her soft red cheeks.Ace wonders what went on in her little head and was he caught. But thankfully she had no further questions. Next time when he wanted to take Scarlet, he had to be careful Angel was not around, a ver
Chapter 25Ace opened his eyes at once staring at her red hot and filled with desire. His vision then slowly got down to her brims. Scarlett gulped in anxiousness and he snickered.Ace knew what went on in her innocent head. Every time his hands brushed on her skin he would notice her shiver in reticence or go statued like she was meeting her superior. He was eager to know just how long he would carry that affect on her.For a man who had been with many women in his past she was a welcome change filled with novelty and innocence. It was also Ace's first time but in a different way. These moments with Scarlet gave him a sweet thrill to watch those unsullied emotions in her.A man might sleep with a hundred different women who dress seductively. But it is only for quenching physical desires. The true attraction is felt only for a female who covers her body because there is always an u
Seven years ago It 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 bouncers were busy controlling the crowd and intoxicated te
The sweet torture by him was bringing shrills of ecstasy in her sending her to the seventh heaven. It was slowly getting very difficult to resist him with passing time. She was brought up with principals. How can she have sex with him before marriage? But Scarlet's body was reacting contrary. It wanted to get swayed in his love feeling like a bird. "Ace" she called for him in a sexual surge."Damn you! my Aphrodite." Ace squeezed the breast of Scarlet and when she was about to moan aloud he arrested her voice attaching his mouth to hers."Angel is a light sleeper. Do we need an audience here sweetheart? Come on, follow my movements." He instructed her like a teacher to a student and reigned her mouth with his tongue entering every nook and corner of her oral cavity.Sc
"The zipper of the red dress you told me to wear doesn't work. I tried several times to fix it but couldn't. And it was all the time falling off my shoulder exposing the chest." Scarlet told him feeling shy with her eyes cast downwards while biting her lip.Ace took a step forward, put his finger under her chin and gently raised up her head. "How many times should I tell you to look at the person you are talking to and talk? And why are you biting your lip?" He scolded her softly like one does to a child and released the lip from her teeth with the pad of his thumb."There is nothing wrong you have done that you should feel guilty about. I should have checked the dress before I gave it to you to wear." His hands reached down to her cheeks cupping them, bent his head and kissed her forehead.Scarlet shivered wi
Chapter 28Her long chestnut hair was left free in soft waves reaching her waist. "You know you look like a fallen Angel when you do not braid your hair." Ace re-runs his hands into Scarlet's tendrils admiring the velvety caress still holding her in his arms."Remember this always, I do not want you to go out anywhere with your hair down like this. I am very possessive about what is mine and this dark beauty....is only for my eyes." He plays with her waves, enjoying the peach vision of Scarlet's curls.Two days later…."You know this would be the weirdest engagement one might have ever heard but somehow I fear I do something to you before we are engaged and you repent for the rest of your life. So I wanted us to be engaged.
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
