Chapter 54
The 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 60The car stopped at the lay-bye to pick up Ace from the park. The driver was smiling looking at him from the rearview mirror.Ace was sitting relaxedly on the back seat with his arms spread on the back rest. His coat was gone and the first two buttons of his sky blue dress shirt were undone giving a teeny view of his chest hair.Had any teenager seen him that way, she would have instantly fallen at his feet pleading him to date her. With his slightly disturbed hair and a light stubble of a day he was looking extremely sexy with a rugged look.The sharp business-like serious face was gone. Though his features presented a little tiresomeness because of the day's work the driver could see Ace's eyes sho
Chapter 61Ace was given a red carpet welcome. He had returned home the next day fully delighted with the reception he received at Washington. The president had talked to him for a good amount of time about his next projects and investments in the country. Ace is one of the wealthiest businessmen. The state is dependent on his contribution. He is providing livelihood to millions of people directly or indirectly within the nation. The government would dare not invoke his evil eye. There was a special arrangement made for the Taylors with dining-in-night with the ministers of the cabinet to discuss his upcoming investments and industries in the country.Little Angel had the joy of the world. A chopper was arranged by the state for him with his family to go around site seeing at Washington though Ace insisted he could take his own
