Confronting Tess
The aroma of fresh spices and sauce wafted across the kitchen, proclaiming the deliciousness getting ready for the special Italian dinner. And the provoking sweet goods that baked inside the oven had me salivating.
The hunger of my tummy spiked more at that. The result of not eating the whole day. And how could I when all my mind was spiraled with one suddenly vanished man's thoughts?
"I'm happy that you came here, Em. In all the preparations of the marriage, we couldn't get enough time to spend," said Tess, adding some basils in the spaghetti.
I nodded. "Yeah, but don't worry. I'm not going anywhere for sometime. So we've a lot of time to fix that."
Something flickered over her eyes, but then she smiled. "Right. Anyway, how was your day?"

Turning to another turn, I took the car through an almost empty street, my gaze continued their connection with the GPS tracker of my phone. I'd never heard of that bar's name before, and after tracing Beth's phone, I found it was at Northern Avenue. The street infamous for old buildings, illegal casinos, small cafes and bars. And most importantly, hundreds of alleys.I'd no idea what the hell she was doing here at nine of the night!And seeing the eerie silence around, I felt people of this area called it a night much earlier than others.Once I was finally outside at the destination at the middle of a narrow road, I double checked the location and the bar's name. A big 'Dakota's Bar' was written on a white board, red fairy lights lit at the edges. And the wobbly two rugged men that stumbled out of the bar rose the scale of my discomfort higher.I'd just pick her up and flee out of this uncanny area.

Stepping out of the VIP elevator, I blew out a breath eyeing the doors of the penthouse. And the big guards stood at the both sides of the elevator like a statue, statues with dark glasses.My heart drummed down my chest as I approached the entrance, standing before the fingerprint scanner. I still couldn't know how he got my fingerprint.Though the nervousness of meeting him after that night was overwhelming, the eagerness to see him and find out if he was alright won over my hesitation.Once I was inside the doors, to my surprise, it automatically closed behind me. And the feeling of getting locked with the devil of my dreams was knee weakish.

"What?" I gasped. "How? How did this happen?"She shook her head, wiping her tears. "I don't know. I just got a call from the police station a while ago. And since then I was calling Achilles non-stop, but he wasn't picking up his phone! Even our lawyer called him. Where's he?"A while ago, means we were in his bedroom then…Blinking away those thoughts from my mind, I said, "Don't worry, Tess. Everything will be fine. He's in his penthouse right now.""Alright, let's…"The ring of her phone cut her off. Receiving it, she listened to whatever the other person said and then cut the call."It was him. He's waiting for me outside in the car. I gotta go!""Wait! I'll come with you!" I insisted. I didn't want to leave her alone right now.She nodded, sniffling. "Alright, let's go!"Once we were outside, we found him in the driver's seat

That means… Liza?My suspicion was right. She did it. She was the one who put drugs in Caleb's car and maybe, leaking information outside.My shoulders slumped as disappointment washed over me. How could she do it? She was such a nice person and worked with Caleb for years. What could make her betray all of a sudden?I've to inform Ace about it.Getting up, I clutched the packet tight in my hand and rushed to his cabin. My heart thumped in my chest.As I approached his cabin, I found Carter outside on his desk."Is he inside? I've to see him right now."Looking up, he smiled. "He is.

We'll see?This infuriating man!"I'm just letting you hug me because you needed it. Don't think of something else. I'm still mad at you for what you did up at your penthouse…" My cheeks flamed at my slip of tongue. Why did I need to mention it right now?My lips tingled recalling the earth-shattering kiss on his bed.He put his nose into my hair. "And don't think I forgot what you did last night. It was a really reckless move. And about kissing you," he rasped, arms tightening around me, "I don't regret a second of it. I'll do it again and again even if you don't like it!"A gasp slipped through my parted lips as he placed an open-mouthed kiss on my neck and then on my throat."And I know, you loved it," the deep husky voice of his said, brushing his lips on my jaw.My heart raced down my chest as hot desire shot through my veins the touch of his scorching mo
The Trap Of Ace Not his woman
I knew that he knew what I was asking. He knew really well what I wanted to know.His feelings couldn't grow just in these days. It had to be from our past. And if he really did feel something for me, then why did he do that? Why did he push me away like that?"I want to know, Ace. Will you tell me?"Not only about the night years ago I wanted to know about, what happened to his mom and his hatred for his old house also nagged at the back of my mind. I didn't forget the venom and pain reflected in his eyes when he stared at the doors of his mom's former room at Tess's engagement.There were so many things I'd questions about. But the answers weren't anywhere in my sight.Taking a deep breath, he took my hands and brushed his lips against my knuckles. "I will. I will tell you everything you want to know. You've every right to. But not now. At least not today."Suddenly a heavin

"God, girl! You should seriously dump that ass boyfriend of yours! I thought he was a nice guy, but I didn't know what a mommy's boy he is!" cursed Casie, shaking her head while Beth grabbed another tissue from the tissue box on her lap and blew her nose."It's not that easy, Cass. I love him. We've been together for three years." Beth sniffled, wiping her cheeks."Just because you guys have been together for three years, doesn't mean you'll take his mother's shit! You deserve much more than this!" Casie snapped.After getting the early leave, I came directly to Casie's place. And though I didn't find Beth in the same state I found her last night, she wasn't any better. She was still a mess.After asking Casie of what happened to her, she told me everything.Beth and her boyfriend, Mason, were happy in their little world.

The Trap Of Ace Red freaking witch!
When I was finally outside, I was frozen in my place. And the cold breeze wasn't the main culprit for it. It was him. Looking like just dived out of a magazine, he stood there leaning against his car, waiting impatiently. The crease between his brows was the proof.Even comparing him to those models printed on magazines would be an insult to his beauty. He was… beyond gorgeous.Flaunting a three piece navy blue Armani suit, paired with a charcoal black shirt beneath and a pair of polished expensive shoes, he took my breath away. As always.Noticing me, he stood straight. "You're five minutes late." And then his eyes went to the rest of my body. My skin burned under those heated stormy gaze of his as they raked over me.With shaven strong jaws clenched, nostrils flaring, he let out a curse. Grey eyes deepened two shades darker."You aren't seriously going to wear that in front o
