Chapter 96FlashbackIt happened more than eight years ago. Ace completed his education and was returning to his parents home. He wanted to surprise them and did not inform them of his visit but on the contrary he was the one who received the surprise.A middle aged lady who appeared lean and sick was reading a Shakespeare drama sitting on a rocking chair of the visitors hall.Ace put his suitcase down, removed his brown leather jacket and asked her, "may I know who you are and what are you doing in my house. I'm Ace Taylor the son of Edmond Taylor under whose roof you are presently breathing."Looking at her pale face, Ace saw her as a cheater
"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
Chapter 98It was his heart that was aching like somebody stamped on it several times. But if she thought their relationship as a burden, Ace would give Scarlet what she desires.Scarlet misunderstood Ace. She accused him of hiding things from her which broke his heart to an irreparable damage. Whatever he did in the past was only for her good, to retain her health which could have gone worse by now."I need some space to process things, I would like to go to my dad's home." Scarlet said, not meeting his eyes."How many days?" Ace could not stop himself from asking.Scarlet did not reply. She was fidgeting with her fingers. Ace understood her meaning.
Chapter 99Ace was very happy to learn about the good news. His wife was coming back. He didn't think she would come back to him so early. Ace thought he had to plan something big to win back her heart. Scarlet was not the sort of girl who would fall for a diamond necklace or a property in her name in the posh localities of New York. He has to give her something very important which should not be related to money. But God is on his side. The process became easy.If only he had wings. Ace wanted to fly in the air to Moscow and bring her back immediately. He would make love to her all night until the energy in both of them is drained out.Ace wanted to give Scarlet a grand welcome. But how was he going to do it? As he thought deeper, a thought occurred to him. Her mother. 
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
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 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.
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
