Thirty Minutes

(FMO)Chapter 11Ace(Thirty Minutes)The moment she walked in my senses were on high alert. There was something different about her. I don't believe in that bullshit that she isn't Annabelle. She looked like Annabelle. She smells like Annabelle. She talks like Annabelle. She has got to be Annabelle even though she doesn't feel like Annabelle. Then what was wrong with her? Why did she react that way last night and this morning? I felt bad when I saw her cry and turn away from me when I attempted to touch her. I'd never ever force myself on a woman. It's wrong. The slap? I deserved it. I didn't know that she was serious. Most times Annabelle would be in tears or distraught over private issues she never would agree to share with me, all she would ask for would be for me to hold her. Whenever I would catch her crying, I would hold her and never let her go. She craved comfort. She was going through a lot but she always loved for me to be around her. She loved having my arms around

A Cold Reception

(FMO) Chapter 12Sophia(A Cold Reception)As I sat still on my seat, very confused and pondering over the fact that I'd probably annoy him and Noah if I ask where we were going, Ace just looked at me and rolled his eyes. “Don't tell me you've forgotten that we are leaving for our honeymoon today?” He sounded pissed as if he was just holding himself back from lashing out at me. He didn't wait for me to reply as he stormed off in the direction of his bedroom and left Noah and I behind. “Finish up your food, sweetie. I'll just go pack up my stuff and have a word with daddy okay?” I patted his head and he nodded repeatedly. “Okay, mommy!” I looked around for the maid that had led me to this place and when I saw her standing a few feet from the archway, I beckoned her over. “I'm sorry I kind of forgot your name. My head is a little fuzzy from the stress yesterday.” I lied. “It's Sloan, ma'am.” She had that pleasant smile on her lips that made it seem as if I was talking to a therap

Meeting The In-laws

(FMO) Chapter 13Sophia(Meeting The In-laws)“Mother, that's enough.” Ace defended me against the gray haired older lady who wore an elegant emerald necklace and a frown on her face. Her ivory coloured pants suit was ironed to perfection and flattered her lean physique. Her grey hair was pulled up in an elegant chignon with no strand out of place. “Why did you bring this woman here, Ace? You know she's not welcomed here!” Her green eyes that were a perfect match with her necklace glared daggers at me. “Not after what she did the last time. She has no respect for our home and has no place in our family!” Wow. I haven't even said hello yet. She must really hate this Annabelle girl. “For Christ's sake, mother, I am not a child! We're not children that you can control! I have a child of my own! How did you think I got Noah?Besides it was an accident, you weren't supposed to be there. It was a mistake that could have happened to anyone! You're just holding onto it because it was Anna

Recounting Memories

(FMO) Chapter 14Ace(Recounting Memories)I frowned as I leaned back to give her a scrutinising gaze. “You really don't remember anything, do you?” She looks like she's one second away from denying the obvious truth but then she shakes her head. “I don't.” Somehow I don't think she's lying or making it up. As I study her face I notice she's not lying. She truly remembers nothing from before the wedding. But why? I groaned and almost face-palmed myself. “My God! And I pounced on you like a starving animal. You must have been scared. I'm truly sorry.” She looked down at her lap. “It's fine. Just don't do it again. Please.” I held up my hand and placed the other on my chest. “I promise not to. I swear there'll never be a repeat of last night. I'm not usually like that. I don't know what got into me last night.” I admitted. “I figured. And I'm sorry for hitting you.” She whispered.“I deserved that, Annabelle. I was being an asshole and you did what you had to.”“Why does your moth

Dark Assumptions

(FMO) Chapter 15Sophia(Dark Assumptions)I shook my head immediately, deciding it would be better if I keep my nosy questions to myself. “It's nothing, Ace.” I lied. He holds my gaze for less than a second before he turns on his heels and disappears behind a door leaving me alone with his staff. Thankfully they're kind enough to provide me with a blanket and a bottle of water when they notice me stretching sleepily on the seat as the flight takes off. It's a feast by the time I awake from my nap as there is an assortment of dishes and snacks and even different bottles of wine in front of me waiting to be eaten.Ace was still behind that door as I was the only passenger present here. I dug into my meal as I silently watched them carry a trolley of food towards the door that Ace walked into before knocking and walking in with the trolley of food. I guess he's eating in there too. I ate as much as I could before thanking the staff and going back to sleep some more. I've never be

Peeping Tom

(FMO)Chapter 16Sophia (Peeping Tom)I waited for the impact of the slap or punch but it didn't come. I lowered my hands and instead came face to face with a scowling Ace. His hands were by both his sides. “Why did you do that?” I eyed him. “Do what?” “I don't hit women, Annabelle. I've never raised my hand on you nor any other woman. Not even when we've had worse altercations.” He corrected.Attempting to rear the discussion away from the point “But you're cool with forcing yourself on a woman.” I rubbed my arms suddenly feeling cold. “That's really low, Annabelle. Do you really think that low of me? I'm not a rapist and you know that.” He defended himself. “That's not what I experienced. You almost forced yourself on me. I'm not sleeping in the same room as you and neither am I sleeping on the same bed as you, Ace. I don't trust you enough to believe that you won't do anything to me when my eyes are closed.” He laughed. “What a fucking joke! So that's what you think of me?!

A Man In Uniform

(FMO) Chapter 17Sophia(A Man In Uniform)I almost slapped myself silly after realising that I blurted that out without thinking. It was also rather too late to take it back as Ace was already looking at me. Shit. “I thought you had gone to sleep? You were pretending, weren't you? Isn't it a crime what you're doing?” He dropped the towel he was drying his hair with and folded his arms across his chest making his biceps bulge out. I took note of the fact that he was still very much naked and a little aroused. How shameless. “Ace, please put your clothes on.” I said instead. “Why? This is nothing you haven't seen. Why so pretentious? Besides, why do you need to dictate what I do with my body?” He was trying to piss me off and it's obvious. “Fine. Whatever.” I tried not to look down at his distracting manhood that showed just how excited he was. “What's that scar on your back?” I asked again. He glanced over his shoulder as if he could see his back. “I've told you this already. I

A Day Out

(FMO)Chapter 18Ace(A Day Out)I can't fucking believe this. I'm suddenly a threat to my own wife? What? I remember the days when she used to be so crazy about me. Now she runs from me. She's scared of me. She's scared that I'm going to rape her. Fucking hell. If this was the old Annabelle, we would have already fucked on every surface and in every corner of this house by now. I burn for her, why can't she see it?Maybe we would have even taken it outside on the sand on the beach and christened the entire fucking place. Alas you really don't know what you have until you lose it. I heard the door lock with a click and I gritted my teeth in anger. I'm so close to losing it with her. I found a comfortable position and settled on the couch before attempting to go to sleep but that was damn near impossible as it was very uncomfortable here. Once we get back to LA, I'm taking her to a doctor whether she likes it or not. This nonsense has to stop. Or at least I get a good explanatio

Goldie And Peter

(FMO)Chapter 19Annabelle (Goldie And Peter)I stood awkwardly by the side as Ace exchanged pleasantries with the old couple that he took me along with him to see. “Goldie, it's so nice to see you again.” Ace embraced the older lady warmly as she kissed his cheeks. “It's been so long since we last saw you. Peter was getting worried since I was getting worried and he suggested we go in search of you.” The old man by her side with a head full of gray nodded along with a smile. “But you know how we don't know our way outside this island.” She said with a smile. “That's true. We would have just gotten lost in the big city if we went in search of you.” The old man said. “You won't. I'm quite popular, you know.” Ace bragged. They erupted in a fit of laughter. “Not until we run into the wrong crowd. They might just abduct us for ransom.” “They won't get away that easily.” Ace laughed. I guess they finally noticed me as the old lady's warm eyes landed on me followed by the man's scrut

What Have I Done?

(FMO)Chapter 20Annabelle (What Have I Done?)The pain from whatever had stung me had me dripping to the ground and grabbing onto my foot as sharp bouts of pain coursed through my foot.Ace was by my side in a second, inspecting my foot with a frown before turning sharply to me. “I warned you, didn't I?! Why don't you ever listen?” His anger was evident. “Is this really the time for this? It hurts, Ace.” A tear slipped from my eyes. I heard him mumble something inherently before he came to sound tall in front of me with angry eyes looking down at me on the ground. He looked around the beach suspiciously as if searching for something. “Ace.” My voice trembled with fear when his hand began undoing the string on his loose-fitting beach pants. What was he trying to do? I crawled a step away from him when his pants came loose at the strings. “Ace, what is going on?” I was so scared that I could cry at this point. He didn't answer and neither did he tear his eyes away from me as his
