All Chapters of Ace: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Dark IntentionsRichard Kane strode through the hospital’s corridors with a purposeful gait, his polished shoes clacking against the linoleum with a rhythm that resonated like the ticking of a clock. Every step he took was measured and deliberate, exuding the cold confidence of a man who believed the world bent to his will. The sterile smell of antiseptic filled his nostrils, mingling with the faint scent of despair that seemed to hang in the air of every hospital.The bright fluorescent lights overhead did little to soften his hardened features. Richard was a man accustomed to control, to power. He was the type who could look into a person’s eyes and see exactly how to break them. Today, though, his eyes held an emotion he rarely let surface—anger. The nurses and doctors bustling around the hospital’s emergency wing barely registered his presence. They were too busy with their duties to notice the storm that had just walked through their halls. One nurse, however, did look up, and h

The night had deepened by the time the men left the vicinity of Richard Kane's house, their car disappearing into the shadows like a specter. Inside the house, Richard moved with a sense of purpose, each step calculated and deliberate. His thoughts were a chaotic swirl of frustration, anger, and a hint of fear. He couldn't shake the unsettling feeling that his every move was being watched, that someone—maybe more than one—was waiting for him to slip up.As he walked through the grand foyer of his home, his mind raced over the events of the past few days. Evelyn was in a hospital bed, unconscious, and while he outwardly played the role of the concerned husband, inwardly he seethed with contempt. She had failed him, and now he had to clean up the mess she had made. But the question that gnawed at him was: how much did Ace know? How much had Evelyn revealed before she was incapacitated?Richard’s hands clenched into fists as he ascended the marble staircase to his study. Once inside, he

The night air was cool as Ace and Lisa walked along the quiet streets, hand in hand. The city’s usual hustle and bustle had quieted, leaving only the soft hum of distant traffic and the occasional rustle of leaves in the breeze. It was one of those rare moments when the world seemed to slow down, offering a brief respite from the chaos that often consumed their lives.Lisa looked up at the sky, noticing how clear it was tonight. The stars twinkled above them, like tiny diamonds scattered across a dark velvet canvas. She smiled to herself, feeling a sense of calm that she hadn’t felt in a long time. It was a welcome change from the tension and uncertainty that had surrounded them lately.Ace squeezed her hand, drawing her attention back to him. “What are you thinking about?” he asked, his voice low and soothing.“Just how peaceful it is tonight,” Lisa replied, glancing up at him. “It’s nice to have a moment like this, where everything feels…normal.”Ace nodded, his expression softening

Richard Kane’s head throbbed with a dull ache as he slowly regained consciousness. The scent of stale cigarettes and cheap liquor permeated the air, assaulting his senses. His vision blurred, and he blinked rapidly, trying to clear the fog from his mind. As his surroundings came into focus, he realized he was no longer in the VIP lounge of the club. Instead, he was in a dimly lit room, the walls bare and the floor cold beneath him.Panic began to set in as Richard’s mind raced, piecing together the last thing he remembered. He had been enjoying a drink, surrounded by the haze of the club's flashing lights and pounding music, when three men had approached his table. They were dressed inconspicuously, blending in with the crowd, but their intent had been anything but ordinary. Before Richard could react, one of the men had whispered something in his ear, something that made his blood run cold. Then, everything went black.Now, as he sat up, the realization of his predicament hit him lik

Lisa hurried through the hospital corridors, her heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and relief. The news that Evelyn had finally woken up from her coma had filled her with a sense of hope. She had been checking in on Evelyn regularly, ensuring that her condition was stable, but this was the breakthrough they had all been waiting for.As she approached Evelyn’s room, Lisa couldn't help but think about how she had shared the news with Ace earlier that morning. His reaction had been lukewarm at best.“I’m glad she’s awake,” Ace had said, his tone flat as he glanced at the paperwork strewn across his desk. “But I’ve got things to take care of, Lisa. I’ll come by later.”Lisa had nodded, trying to hide her disappointment. She understood that Ace had a complicated relationship with his sister, but she had hoped he would be more enthusiastic about Evelyn’s recovery. Still, she didn’t want to push him. She knew how much he had been struggling with everything that had happened recen
