Lisa POV:
I woke up to a maid screaming then people's footsteps rushing around.
My eyebrows frown slightly before shaking my head.
Rolling off my bed, I walked toward my door.
I looked around the hall, wondering what was happening.
Then I slowly walked towards Ace's room.
There I saw Evelyn standing and some maids.
"How are you awake?" She whispered looking at her brother.
My eyebrows frown slightly, isn't she happy that her brother is awake?
"Uhm Evenly," I said quietly walking into the room.
Everyone snapped their head toward me.
Making me feel small.
"Yes, uhm everyone out, please," Evelyn said softly before looking back at her brother.
"Ace, this is Nurse Lisa, she's the one taking care of you." She said softly her eyes not leaving her brother.
It's like she couldn't believe he was alive.
Didn't she want him alive?
"Hello," I said quietly looking up.
Green eyes stared back at me, watching me like I was in a movie.
The room was dead quiet, Ace didn't say anything to me.
"Out." He said lowly his voice was hard to understand.
From the lack of not speaking for weeks.
Nodding my head, I turned around ready to walk out when he said.
"Not you Lisa, Evelyn out." He said.
A grasp left my lips before turning toward the siblings.
There was this tense air around them.
Evelyn wasted no time.
She didn't even look at me, just rushed out of the room.
Ace's piercing green eyes continued to scrutinize me as I hesitated near the door. The silence lingered, broken only by the distant sounds of commotion outside. I cleared my throat, breaking the quiet tension.
"How are you feeling, Ace?" I asked softly, maintaining a professional demeanor despite the palpable unease in the room.
His gaze didn't waver, and he finally spoke, his voice rough from disuse. "Alive. Thanks to you, I assume."
A faint nod acknowledged his words. "I'm here to help with your recovery."
He studied me for a moment longer before gesturing to a chair. "Sit."
As I took a seat, the room felt charged with unspoken emotions. I wondered about the complexities of the relationship between these siblings and the peculiar dynamics that surrounded Ace's awakening.
Ace's intense gaze never left me, making the air heavy with anticipation. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to this situation than met the eye.
"Why did Evelyn react that way?" I ventured cautiously, seeking to understand the underlying tensions in the room.
He sighed, a mix of frustration and resignation evident in his expression. "Evelyn thought I was dead. For weeks, she believed I wasn't coming back."
I absorbed the weight of his words, realizing the emotional toll it must have taken on his sister. The room seemed to shrink as the unspoken history between them hung in the air.
"Survival comes with a cost," he continued, his gaze distant. "I wasn't sure I wanted to return."
His vulnerability surprised me, and I wondered about the struggles he had faced during his apparent absence.
"I can't force you to embrace life again, but I'm here to support your recovery in any way I can," I offered, trying to convey genuine concern.
Ace's eyes softened momentarily, revealing a vulnerability beneath the stoic exterior.
"I didn't expect someone like you to be the one taking care of me."
The cryptic comment lingered, leaving me with more questions than answers about Ace's past and the circumstances surrounding his recovery.
I nodded, acknowledging the complexity of the situation.
"People often surprise us," I said, meeting his gaze. "I'm here to assist with your physical recovery and provide support as you navigate this."
Ace's eyes held a mixture of skepticism and curiosity. "What happened to me?" he inquired, his voice steady.
"You were found unconscious, and your condition was critical. It took a considerable effort to stabilize you," I explained, choosing my words carefully.
He frowned, piecing together the fragments of his memory. "I don't remember much."
"That's not uncommon after such an ordeal. Your body needs time to heal, and memories may resurface gradually," I reassured him.
"Uhm you need to have your bath now," I said standing up from my chair.
Ace continued staring at me, making me feel funny inside.
What's up with him and staring like This?
"I need to help you up, but first, uhm clothes," I mumbled looking around the room.
When I spotted the closet, I Walked toward it.
"Do you like hoodies or do you want a shirt?" I asked looking around his closet.
"Grey joggers and black top." I heard him say.
Nodding my head, I pulled out what he wanted before turning back toward him.
Only to see his eyes already on me again.
I guess I have to get used to his staring.
"Do I need to call in a maid for you?." I asked softly.
His head is title to the side before looking at his legs.
"I thought you were my Nurse?" He asked with a smile.
I hummed before looking at the door.
With a breath, I walked toward the large man.
I placed my arm under his armpit but fell on his body.
"Omg I'm so sorry." I squeal out standing up.
Only to find him laughing.
It was so loud and cute, his eyes closed while his head title up.
I couldn't help but blush and look away.
"You thought you could carry me?" He asked softly when he was done laughing.
I nod my head slowly, looking back at his green eyes.
Ace shook his head before standing up slowly.
"I don't think my legs got injured Lisa, so I'm good, could you please go make Breakfast for me?." He asked as he walked toward his bathroom.
I looked at him for a second, questioning myself if I wanted to follow him to make sure he didn't fall.
He just woke up from a coma.
"Lisa?" I heard him say snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Yes, of course, what would you like to eat?." I asked.
Ace looked at me for a second before looking away.
"Anything you would like, I'd like both of us to eat together please." He said before closing the door.
Leaving me confused for a moment but again I just shook my head.
Walking toward the stairs.
Lisa POV:When I got downstairs to the kitchen.I looked around hoping to see Evelyn but had no idea where to look.Shaking my head, I walked toward the first maid, I saw before tapping her shoulders."Hey, uhm Ace asked for breakfast," I said softly."I'll have that fix up, did he ask for anything in particular?" She asked while I shook my head before sitting on the chair."Where is Evelyn please?" I asked while looking."Upstairs in her room." She mumbled smiling at me.I gave her a smile in return before walking toward the stairs."Oh, and Nurse Lisa, thank you, for helping Ace." She whispered.I looked back at her, shocked at her words."Just doing my job," I said quietly walking away.The smile never left my lips.When I arrived, I saw a door open slightly.Walking closer to it, I tried listening for a sound.Then I heard someone whispering."I'm telling you, I give him that same injection, I have no idea how his awake." The person whispered.My eyes wide out when I recognize th
Lisa POV:It took a few weeks, Ace hasn't said anything to me yet.For some reason, he started acting rude and nonchalant.But again I said nothing and just continued ignoring him.It's not my job to be friends with him anyway.Just to treat him and make sure he is fine then walk away like nothing ever happened, yeah I could do that."Miss Lisa, Sir Ace is looking for you." One of the maids mumbled looking at me.Titling my head to the side, I stare at her before shaking my head."Am I in trouble?" I asked with a chuckle making her smile."I'll be there, just a minute please," I said rolling off my bed.She nods her head before walking away closing the door right behind her."Now what," I said with a groan.I didn't feel like going close to him.Not ready for his rude comments or anything.Grabbing my phone, I looked at the last text Emily sent.She still doesn't know what those pills are but is still trying to figure it out.Walking out of my room, I tried to put a smile on my face f
Lisa POV:"So you still have no idea what pills Ace's sister gave to him?" I asked Emily from my phone.The line went silent, then I heard Emily sigh."When I asked Dr. Marcus, he said those drugs are hard and it's only for animals, not Humans." She replied."So you're saying Ace's sister gave him animal pills?" I asked softly."Yes, but we are still looking into more information, I'll call you back, got some people to attend to, bye and be safe Lisa," Emily said before ending the call."Bye," I whispered looking at my phone before letting out a breath.I need to ask Ace more questions about this.I understand that his sister and have a bad bounding but why is that strong?And she has someone with her doing this.Animal pills are a hard source to get.Walking out of my room, with Ace pills with me.My mind was clouded with thoughts."This shouldn't be a problem for me, it's not my life, so why do I have this weird feeling," I questioned myself.Shaking my head, I knocked on Ace's door
Chapter 8Lisa POV:Last week one of the maids told me about Ace's sleeping disorder.I found out that every night he would go outside.He just stands there for hours and hours saying nothing to anybody.Shaking my head I tried hard not to think about Ace.I know he's just my patience and I will be leaving the house soon because he's getting stronger and stronger but for some reason, leaving him feels wrong.It's been 2 weeks now and we've gotten to know each other. He's still rude but not to me and I don't really know why.One of the maids said he has feelings for me and that is something I don't believe because he's rich and I'm just an ordinary Girl.I also received a call from Ella, and she still has no idea where those pills came from. I didn't know if I should tell Ace about it.Because I wasn't ready to be the cause of a family drama.“Ace, I wanted to inform you that I'll be leaving soon.” I said quietly walking into his room.Ace looked up at me, his glasses on his nose tip.
Lisa POV:Arriving at the ice cream store, I looked at Ace waiting for his first move.But he sat there staring at me.“What?” I asked softly looking outside.“Do you want us to go in together or just you?” He asked softly.“Do you want to follow me in? I asked, "I didn't want him to feel uncomfortable.“Yeah, I'll love that.” He replied before smiling at me.Then came out of his side of the car.Shaking my head, I looked at him as he walked toward my side of the car before getting out.“Come on Lisa, I wanted to open it.” He said loudly stomping his feet on the ground.Shaking my head, I giggled softly before closing the door.Ace looked at me with a pout, then opened my side of the door.“Thank you,” I said quietly but again he just looked at me with a smirk.Shaking my head, I walked toward the entrance of the ice cream store, only to be pulled by.“We are meant to Walk together Lisa,” Ace mumbled grabbing onto my hand.I gave him a nod, then watched him wrap his fingers with mine.
Lisa POV:Ladies and Gentlemen, Ace is sick, I had no idea how it happened.but since the day we went out for the Ice cream, he has been running a temperature and vomiting."Why didn't you tell me this earlier Ace," I said quietly."I didn't want to make you scared, I'm sorry Lisa." He mumbled his hand reached up to my hair.looking at him, I said nothing but just shook my head."It's like you've been sick because you don't look sorry to me," I said.making him smile."well me being sick, means you won't leave me anytime soon, so yes I'm 80% happy about that," he said.lord help me with this man, I prayed softly.Gabby giggled softly Making my head snap to her's."It's not funny Gabby, someone needs to talk to him," I mumbled."the only person that can do that is you Miss Lisa, You know how sir Ace is," Gabby mumbled.letting out a breath, I looked back at Ace only to see him giving me a grin."I'll go get his food," Gabby said before walking out of the room."All alright sit up stra
Lisa's POV:"Can I ask you something, Gabby?" I inquired softly as I entered the kitchen.Ace wasn't home today; he had a business meeting."Yes, is everything okay?" Gabby asked with a smile.Nodding, I let out a breath. "Who is Ace?" I asked."What do you mean?" she asked softly, her head tilted in confusion."I mean who is he? What does he do?" I pressed."Miss Lisa, I don't think I'm allowed to tell you this," she replied."Why not? Why can't you tell me?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.Last night, I did some research about him, but I only found out that Ace had companies around the world. Nothing indicated he was a dangerous man, but the maids' words lingered in my mind.Gabby shook her head before letting out a breath. "Why don't you ask him when he comes?" she suggested with a smile.Nodding, I watched her move around the kitchen. If she couldn't tell me, I'd have to ask someone else. Walking away, I felt her eyes on me, but she didn't stop me.I questioned maids, but no one ans
Lisa's POV:"So, you're saying Ace is obsessed with you?" Emily asked for the second time.Rolling my eyes at my friend, I responded, "I won't say obsessed, Emily. He's just acting strange and won't stop calling me his."After leaving Ace's mansion, I ignored his screams, claiming I would regret leaving him. I immediately called Emily to pick me up, and now here we are."Wow," she whispered.Nodding, I let out a groan. "What am I going to do, Emily? He sounded so serious," I mumbled."Do you want us to research him?" she asked."I already did that and found nothing interesting, only that he's a billionaire," I replied."If he is a billionaire, why would his sister give him animal pills?" she asked, confused."He said something about her being jealous because her father gave all his money and wealth to him," I explained."Aren't they siblings?" she asked."Step," was all I said, making her nod."I think you need a shower or something to eat," Emily suggested.Nodding, I gave her a smile
