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 55"Hello darling, you are already here? Glad to meet you." Sherlock walked with extended arms reaching Scarlet.With each step Sherlock took forward she took one step behind subsequently hitting the wall. When he reached her for a hug she could smell the strong stench of alcohol. Scarlet hated his touch, his smell and that voice which felt like stones getting ground in a machine to her ears.Scarlet's wrinkled features were not liked by him when he hugged her. She couldn't see him. Sherlock wouldn't risk showing his face to her. At least for the moment, especially when she is Ace's fiance. Her eyes were covered with a white cloth."I have been lusting for you since the time I first saw you when
Chapter 56The previous day, late in the night Ace got a call from one of Sherlock's men that they are on their way, bringing Scarlet to him and he should stop blasting Sherlock's businesses and properties.Ace is a businessman. He wouldn't agree to anything without proof. He asked to allow Scarlet to speak to him, only then would he stop Sherlock's destruction.Within seconds there was a WhatsApp call and Scarlet was online. Her face was red with marks of tears on her pink cheeks and hair disturbed.A quaver went out of his throat grasping her mental state. But Ace was an entrepreneur always in control. There was no greeting nor any feeling seen in his features. "Did any of them misbehave with you?" His
Chapter 57Scarlet nodded because that was what she wanted too. In the shadows of moonlight passing through the window curtains his face was very close to hers bringing in her a sweet pain of rapture. Ace's hands reached the bottom of her top to pull it out when there was a knock at the door.And that's it! "Mama, open the door. I want to sleep with you." Ace looked at Scarlet like somebody killed his cat and Scarlet laughed aloud before she walked to the entrance and opened the door.Angel walked in and raised her hands for Scarlet to lift her. "Stop Scarlet. What are you doing?" Before she could take Angel to her arms Ace reached her and carried Angel to their bed. "Do not ask mama to lift you up, sunshine. Mama is having a baby in her belly."
Chapter 58After the wedding followed by lunch, Ace and Scarlet were riding back home in their car. The privacy was pulled down so that the driver cannot see them.Margaret insisted Angel stayed with them in their house for a week so that Ace and Scarlet could have some privacy after their marriage.Ace had postponed all his meetings and assignments for a week and worked only on urgent appointments.Scarlet looked at the platinum ring adorned on her finger and kissed it. She loved the words carved on it. On one side was 'Ace' and on the other side was 'mine forever'. She muttered the words to herself and smiled.Ace was observing Scarlet sitting beside him. He still remembers the day three months ago when they wen
Chapter 59He had hardly reached the entrance when the bodyguards guarding the place surrounded him aiming their guns at him. Bill looked back at Sherlock startled. "You enter the mafia at your own will but getting out of it is my decision." Sherlock said coolly with his hands in his pant pockets."You're right. You know all my business secrets, all the illegal dealings that I do and once you get out of here, it is a huge risk to me especially when Ace Taylor is at my throat. After all, an enemy's enemy becomes a friend. Am I right? Naughty boy?" Sherlock winked and puffed out smoke on Bill's face in a vicious smirk.Bill made a nasty face. He hated the smell of smoke being a non-smoker and Sherlock knew it."So yeah, if you love your dear life, you will seal your lips 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
