Chapter 60
The 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
Chapter 62A month later…There was a sudden mayhem spread in the country. The state had announced a curfew all over the city to prevent further casualties. One of the flights bound to Bahrain had been hijacked.Out of the travelers there are five people who have crossed seventy years and have serious health ailments consisting of heart, lungs and kidneys. And there is a pregnant lady in her seventh month.The government is making negotiations to release the people. But the hijackers have not made any announcement so far. Neither did they place forward their conditions.The NIA, police and the army took over, requesting with the hijackers
Chapter 63"Ace" Scarlet placed her head on his shoulder and wiped away the lone tear which fell out of her eyes. "My intuition says something very bad is about to happen to us."Ace pulled Scarlet closer to him like he was shielding her from the world and kissed her forehead. "Why are you taking unnecessary stress? I just asked you to come with me and see if we could get that secret code. We got it and that ends the matter. Do not tax your brain with unnecessary thoughts."He ran his hands on her belly. "Is the baby alright?" He asked her in an adoration.Scarlet nodded. "There is nothing wrong going to happen to you or the baby. I will not allow any trouble to enter even our threshold and this is my promise
Chapter 65Ace had a lot of work to do since he did not go to the office for a long time taking care of Scarlet and shifting into the new house.Had he left her in the house and gone to office, Scarlet would do all the cleaning, cooking and everything in the new house on her own and wouldn't sleep in the night because of swollen and painful legs.Ace wondered when she would absorb the truth that she is a damn billionaire's wife. There are servants to work for her at every beck and call. Even if his family and successors eat without earning even a penny they will still have a fortune left with them for the money he earned so far.Scarlet is very troublesome in situations like this. More than anything, though, it i
Chapter 66Fifteen days laterIt was ten in the morning on a Saturday. Angel was having a holiday and she was sleeping in her bedroom after having her breakfast.Ace planned a day out but regretfully had to leave the office because of an urgent meeting. Scarlet was running on her sixth month and the doctor had advised her to take small walks every day. Ace wouldn't allow her to go out. He wouldn't tell her many of the things as a precaution to not cause her any stress. But it doesn't mean she has to be put away from knowing facts. When they are on the verge of an argument he gives her a smooth summary. But Scarlet knows what her husband says is only a half truth. There is much more than he shares with her. Ace is bothered about her pregnancy. How could he tell her that her life is i
Chapter 64 Ace did not know a secret camera was fixed in one of the walls of the house. Since the day he had bought the new house for Scarlet there was someone keeping an eye on them. Who was he? Scarlet wanted to go and bring Angel but Ace had asked her to accompany him in picking up their daughter. Half an hour later they were in Ace's parents home. Edmond greeted Scarlet warmly and patted Ace's shoulder in a fáilte. "Welcome to our home once again, Scarlet." He smiled and led them inside. "Your mom is in the kitchen." He informed his son. As if waiting
Chapter 67"Who are you?" Scarlet looked at him dubiously."Ha ha what are you saying, Scarlet? Please do not play such jokes on me. You have no idea about the amount of pressure I have undergone during the drive to this hospital. But thankfully all is well. You are alive and talking to me even just after a few hours of the accident. I will get you treated by the best doctors in the world and you will be back to health again. I promise." Ace came forward to hug her, bending his head and spreading his arms."Stop there." Scarlet warned loudly to Ace's surprise. "If you do not leave this place right now, I'm going to call the hospital staff to get you out."He shook his head at her speechless. For a moment Ace's mind went blank. "Scarlet, what a
Chapter 68Looking at Scarlet's chain in his hand, Ace's eyes dilated.Flashback"Happy Birthday to you honey." Ace kissed her forehead and nibbled the lower lip of Scarlet with his tongue. She circled her hand around his neck pulling him closer to her.Ace chuckles between their kisses at the cute asking of her to want more. His tongue wallops into her mouth in urgency, dominance, control, and possessiveness."You're a teasing enchantress. Do you know that Scarlet? No matter how many times I make love to you, I feel like it is our first time." He plunges his tongue into her mouth once again after his words and this time the kiss was filled with need, passion, and an undying hunger.
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
