All Chapters of Ace: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Lisa jolted awake, the sudden wave of nausea hitting her hard. She barely had time to process what was happening before she threw the blanket aside and rushed to the bathroom, her body betraying her as the vomit surged up her throat. She made it just in time, gripping the edges of the sink as she heaved, her stomach lurching painfully.Behind her, she could feel Ace's eyes on her, watching with concern. His presence was always so strong, even in silence. She didn’t have to look at him to know that he was worried.Damn it.She wasn’t ready to tell him yet. Not now. Not about the baby… his baby. It was still too soon, and she wasn’t sure how he’d react. After everything they had been through, she wanted to be sure, wanted the right moment. But she was running out of excuses fast."You sure this is just a fever?" Ace’s voice was soft but firm, the question laced with a worry that made her heart clench. She felt his hand gently gather her hair, pulling it away from her face as she continu

Richard sat slumped against the cold, damp wall, his arms tied tightly behind his back. His body ached from the countless bruises and cuts that covered his skin. The metallic scent of his own blood hung in the air, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the emotional torment gnawing at his mind. It had been over two weeks, and there was still no sign of Evelyn. His wife had made no effort to find him. The realization cut deeper than any of the injuries inflicted upon him."You know," a voice cut through the silence, sharp and taunting, "your wife really doesn’t like you, Richard."Richard slowly lifted his head, his eyes narrowed at the figure standing in the shadows. It was one of the unknown men who had taken him, a smirk playing on his lips. Richard remained quiet, his heart heavy with unspoken anger and bitterness."Nothing to say?" The man leaned forward, his smirk growing wider as he noticed Richard's silence. "You'd think a man in your position would be a little more… up

Lisa woke up early that morning, feeling the familiar wave of nausea wash over her. She sat up in bed and sighed softly, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach. It had been a few weeks since she found out about the pregnancy, and the reality of it was starting to settle in. Ace still didn’t know, and she wasn’t sure how much longer she could keep it from him.Ace had already left for work, which made things easier. She could slip out of the house and head to the hospital for her check-up without having to explain herself. The morning routine of preparing breakfast had become second nature to her, even though Ace had barely touched anything she made lately. She knew he was still upset with her, and though he was starting to soften, there was still a distance between them that hadn’t quite healed.Lisa dressed in a simple white sundress, something light and comfortable for the day. She took a deep breath before heading out, trying to push aside the nervousness that always crept u

Evelyn leaned back in her chair, the scent of jasmine from her lavish suite clinging to the air, soothing yet sharp. The memory of seeing Lisa at the hospital still gnawed at her mind, but not in a way that unsettled her. If anything, it only confirmed what she’d begun to suspect over the last few months—Ace’s little wife was hiding something, and now Evelyn knew exactly what that secret was.Pregnancy.The thought of it made her laugh, a sound that echoed coldly around the room. Lisa was pregnant with Ace’s child. Evelyn had noticed her walking into the pregnancy department, and now everything clicked. Ace's precious Lisa was going to be a mother. That single piece of information carried so much weight, and Evelyn couldn’t help but smile at the delicious irony of it all. “So, the queen is carrying the heir,” Evelyn muttered to herself, fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest of her chair. “This only makes the plan better—much better.”She could feel the threads of her intricate

Ace sat in the dimly lit room, the soft sound of Lisa’s breathing the only noise breaking the stillness. His mind raced as he stared at her peaceful face, her dark hair splayed across the pillow like a halo. She was so beautiful, even in sleep, and now, she was carrying his child—a life they had created together.The thought filled him with both overwhelming love and a fierce need to protect. Everything had changed. His priorities were no longer just about business or maintaining control of his empire. Lisa and their unborn child were now at the forefront of his mind. They were his family, and family came first.“She needs more protection now,” he whispered to himself, his voice barely audible. His gaze remained locked on her face, every word laced with determination. He couldn’t afford to take any risks, not when it came to her safety.He thought about the world they lived in—a world filled with violence, betrayal, and enemies lurking in every shadow. Being the head of a mafia family
