Author's PovPulling the black neck length shirt off his body, Ace let the horrifying reminder of his past dance before him, the reflection attacked him like the insane part of his mind that had been covering his sanity from the time he understood the cruelty of the world. His deep empty silver eyes roamed all over the marks that embraced him like a detachable lover.Scars. His whole chest was filled with different kind of terrorising scars, the whipping wound, cut marks and God knows what kind of injuries that had blackened because of them being the years old. His calloused fingers gently graced the rough flesh of his as he smoothly ran them until it touched the tattoo covering his left shoulder, the tattoo ran through his neck as well slightly covering it but the main source of his vengeance and hatred was on display.His index finger covered the sharp straight scar around his neck near collarbone darkening his gaze, he narrowed his eyes letting his unblinking lost gaze get stuck ov
Author's PovStaring blankly at the papers in front of him, Ace carefully read the whole material, after inspecting the paperwork thrice he finally grabbed his pen and signed the contract before handing it to Sameul who took it like an obedient secretary he was. Soon enough Ace opened another file but paused when he sensed the man not moving from his spot and still staring at him with his usual blank gaze.Tilting his head a bit, he pulled the specs off his eyes placing them on the table before leaning his back against the chair, "What is it?" He questioned sameul who hadn't said a word, it was obvious he had something to say but he seemed to be fighting within himself if he should say it or not."You gave her a new room, clothes, and even medications," He halted making Ace raise his eyebrows in curiosity."And," He pushed the man further to speak and Sameul took a deep breath."Why? From what I remember she's the same woman right? I don't understand this sudden change of arrangement,
Author's PovAurora stared at the paper in her hands as she read the written words repeatedly in astonishment, did he really free her from the prisoned room? The paper had all the chores he assigned her with, but along with that she was also told to stay in this new room and change her clothes. Aurora didn't expect this, the way he looked so vengeful and enraged whenever he looked at her it seemed impossible for him to actually be humane with her.She sighed placing the paper securely on the side table before standing in front of the mirror attached to the small wardrobe which he provided her, it was filled with several clothes of her size and also some woman necessities. Her petite frame was engulfed in the white hued ankle length dress covering her arms completely, it even covered her collarbone leaving her confused of why would he give her such a modest dress when he had done nothing but to humiliate her from the time he took her in his captivity?But she didn't complain, she was g
Author's Pov"Bree,"Aurora whispered in utter astonishment which brought the woman standing in front of her back to reality with a slight flinch. Bree's stunned gaze changed into a ferocious ones as she glared at the meek girl in pure disgust and rage. Just when she thought her way towards Ace was completely clean and smooth, this woman again had to appear to ruin it for her.But the question was why the fuck was she here?"What the fuck are you doing in Ace's House?" Bree sneered venomously stalking towards Aurora who finally lowered her shock and blinked at the woman who stood in front of her with her unchangeable glare.How could she ever forget this woman? The same girl who never respected their friendship, Aurora had given so much to this selfish woman in her whole life, not just to her but also made her own father help her family business so many times that even Alvin got annoyed by her persistent requests for Lively family until Bree decided to show her true colors.Aurora sti
Author's PovAs soon as Aurora entered her room, her back hit the door letting it get slammed close. The tears she didn't let out in front of them freely kissed her cheeks finally, the pain stabbing her heart was no less than a death itself. She had never thought it will hurt so much, so damn much that she would prefer death over it.Sliding down to the floor she didn't hold back and let her soul to break down, loud sobs started escaping her lips palming her tearstained face, why? That was the only question she ask herself, why didn't she cherish him when she should have? Why wad she so cruel to him? Her heart ached so badly that she felt like it will stop within a second.And indeed it did. Aurora gasped for air, she tried to hold herself, she even stood up to reach the side table for water but her legs didn't help her. Her body gave up and it fell on the cold floor letting her lungs terribly fight for air. Hiccups escaped her lips as she curled into a ball, raising her hand she bea
Author's PovAurora walked anxiously around the living room glancing towards the main gate time to time, she desperately wanted him to come for lunch today. Even though Ace from the time had handed her the chores responsibility never attended any lunch, he only ate breakfast and dinner. Even for the breakfast he had skipped today, she had no idea why his diet was so messed up but she knew she couldn't question him.Aurora woke up after a few hours that night, the moment her sight got cleared she was met with the terrifying view of the steely eyed man towering over her staring through her soul. She was so startled that in fear she pulled the blanket till her lips earning an usual blank look from the nonchalant man who was holding a small bowl in her hand.In that one day, she got to know that Ace was a great cook as well, she made her porridge and also a simple healthy meal according to the need of her condition. The meal he cooked was delicious but the porridge was disgustingly bitter
Author's PovFlashbackCurling up his tiny body in a ball, he squeezed himself further to let the furry jacket provide warmth to him, the snow kept on touching his trembling body as he hissed occasionally because of the bruises that engraved his body. He could hear the painful grumbling in his empty stomach that was forced to starve from the last three days. 10 years old kid was punished for doing a mistake during his training today, he was directed to climb the whole wall but in between his climbing, he skipped a foot due to hunger and fell on the mattress at the starting point. Alvin didn't take his negligence well and dragged him out in the terrible cold asking him to stay in this icy atmosphere for 5 hours straight.Ace stayed kneeling on the floor praying internally for the snow to stop, but seemed like God was against him as well, so taking the help of the worn out leather jacket that was handed to him by Alvin who was about to give it for charity, he tried harder to provide hi
Author's Pov"Why don't you marry me?" This froze the woman he had cornered, Aurora's breathing accelerated and body went numb staring in his dead serious steely gaze trying to find any mock or humor in them but nothing! They were as usual dark and serious."What?" She whispered trying to make him come out whatever the trance he was in, did he know who was in front of him? The woman he hated the most! Then why would he being in his full senses would ask her to marry him?Ace softened his muscles a bit as he leaned his body down covering her tiny frame completely, his bulky arms completely covered whatever the chance she might had to escape him, he gazed intensely in her wavered blue spheres taking her aback, this man hated her beyond the limit and she knew then why his gaze seemed so different from hatred? He didn't seem angered by her or mocking her in any way, he looked in a daze."Why? Don't want to marry a dog?" Her body flinched hearing his venomous words, her eyes saddened insta
