Ivan POV:"I know it's been a long time, I am sorry, kiddo," my voice came out as a whisper as my heart burning in pain.I released a shaky breath, blinking my eyes rapidly."Just a little more Laurie. I have gathered almost everything that can ruin his life just like he ruined ours," I said, looking at my brother's gravestone.I placed the flowers on the grave and let my tears roll down. Laurie was the only one who loved me besides my family. But Ace took it away from me. Ace destroyed my whole life. My happiness.He killed my brother. But I couldn't do anything I was a fucking coward.All these years I am waiting for the one chance to kill him brutally.I will destroy his whole life perfectly.They say secrets always come out but it's not.Secrets can only come out when you unleash it."His friends will leave him when they get to know how Ace betrayed them, then he will be all alone" I chuckled as I imagined his dead body lying on the road."Then I will kill him like a dog in th
Iris POV:Tick. Tick. Tick.The sound of clock ticking echoed in the room as the cold breeze was coming from the opened windows, making me shiver from cold.I stood up from the chair and looked outside.The spring was coming to an end.I locked the windows and flopped on my bed rolling myself into the blankets The restaurant was under construction, so they gave me some days off but the worst part was they didn't give me my salary yet.I have to find another job, again.A sigh slipped out of my lips as I rolled over whining.Last time Jeremy helped me to find a good job at the restaurant but I can't ask him every time.And about Ace he.THUD.My forehead creased as I heard breaking sounds from outside.I stood up from the bed and walked to towards the door.But stopped as I heard faint yelling sounds from outside.I gulped and felt my mouth dry suddenly. Something bad is going to happen, isn't it?I released a deep breath and slowly opened the door.Yelling sounds were echoing from t
Iris POV:Pain. It was the only thing I felt when I woke up from my unconsciousness.My head was hurting because of how they gripped my hair tightly.I am thirsty. I think my saliva is also dried up.Am I going to die?It's not like I didn't try to die before but he saved me that time...Maybe not this time.I sat up slowly and shook my head as my head hurted like hell.Slowly, I rubbed my eyes, clearing my vision.My dress is wet and dirty.I closed my eyes and took slow and deep breaths, calming my body.Isaac hide a little camera on the pen holder that's why the guards were furious at me.It just doesn't cause chaos.A disaster.Their men were killed, crores of losses occurred and Hudson was going to die from a car accident but he didn't.Thankfully.They all are thinking I am the one who is the culprit but I will not tell them Isaac's name.I know they will kill me.I know what Isaac did is unforgivable.But I don't want to lose Isaac again.Released a shaky breath, I leaned my
Ace POV:198...199...200...I sat up, breathing roughly, after doing my abdominal crunches.I took off my T-shirt and wiped my sweaty face.After that, I did five sets of planks for 30 minutes.When I looked at the time, it struck past 7 in the morning.I sat down on the floor after finishing my workout, panting.I saw texts from my friends asking me to come back.I was staying in Pittsford Village. A small cabin in the middle of the forest, away from the city.No maids, No thousands of guards, or anyone. It was just me and the specific 5 guards.Quickly I freshened up and cleaned my bed, which was messy as hell.And I made scrambled eggs and papaya juice.I suck at cooking. It was the only thing that I could make perfectly.I learned to make this food for my mother.But still, I hate cooking though."Βασιλιά, το αυτοκίνητο έφτασε (King, the car has arrived.)," Ares informed me."Ήταν αρκετά τα χρήματα; (Was the money sufficient? )," I asked, washing the dirty utensils."Ναι βασιλιά
Ace POV:The cold water ran down my naked body, relaxing my muscles and calming my thoughts.I exhaled and inhaled slowly and deeply.I am in a daze.I can't kill Isaac but now I know he's not his brother. So, I can kill him now, right?I have to know about her, her past.After finishing my shower. I emerged from the bathroom, a towel wrapped around my waist. It was 7 in the evening.I wore a casual gray shirt and black pants."Did you find him?" I asked, walking past the hallways."Yeah, are you sure about it?" Liam asked, blankly.I nodded and saw everyone gathered in the living room, confused and anxious.Well, maybe I am not sure."Ace"I froze as the soft voice heard to my ears.I turned around to find her looking at me, nervously.Liam walked away giving us privacy.But from the living room, everyone could see us but can't hear us."I-I am sorry, I behaved like a child," she murmured, looking at the ground."Don't," I blurted out, looking at her emotionlessly.She looked at me
Ace POV:"What do you mean by that?" I asked curiously."Everyone's details are clear, not a single sketchy piece of information," Liam said.I grumbled and replied, "It's not conceivable; there must be one mole in the house."Everyone nodded their heads except Susan."Susan, do you have something to say?" I asked coldly."We should stick together now; if not, we all will be killed," she said, folding her hands over her chest.We all nod understandingly.A knock on the door interrupts the meeting."Come in," I said aloud.My eyes were stuck to the computer screen, lost in my thoughts."Ahhh! Thank you, love," Leo grinned happily.I noticed Iris holding a large tray of tea, smiling at everyone."Leo," I murmured firmly."Forget you were here; what I mean is my dear little sister," he murmured as he sipped his tea.Everyone's head is hurting. I shouldn't have drunk that much last night."Ace," Iris said, grabbing my attention.She was wearing a shirt and a floral knee-length frock.I p
Ace POV:I bit my tongue, cursing myself.For the past two days.She is avoiding me but she talks to me.She is ignoring me but at the same time, she's not.Ugh...Fuck me!Last night she slept on the couch.No good night, no massages, she didn't even glanced at me when I entered the room.She makes breakfast, lunch, and dinner and eats with me.But in uncomfortable silence.She only talks with me when I ask her to do something and when she asks me if I want something to eat.That's it.I was angry and irritated at that time when I said those words.I regret it.But I didn't tell her to stop talking to me.I straightened my posture as a knock on the door interrupted my thoughts."Come in," I said, organizing the dishelved table.A petite figure came inside carrying a tray. My Mini.Her head hung low as the few strands of her hair brushed past against her forehead.Gently, she placed the tea on the table and started to walk away, silently.She didn't even bother to look at me. Stubborn.
Iris POV: Ugh... I stirred, feeling the weight of exhaustion pulling at my limbs. All I wanted was to sink back into the comforting embrace of sleep... But Quinn's throat-clearing interrupted my drowsy haze, jolting me back to reality. "Stand up peasant, make me my breakfast," Quinn said in her deep voice. I rose from the bed and made my way to the kitchen, the cool tiles underfoot offering a brief respite from the heat of the day. "Wow, are you okay?" Quinn's concern was palpable as she watched me, her brow furrowed in worry. I nodded in response, unwilling to delve into the depths of my own emotions so early in the morning. "..Okay," she said with a shrug, returning her attention to her phone as I began preparing breakfast. Standing at the stove in nothing but shorts and a bra, I couldn't help but feel exposed, vulnerable under Quinn's watchful gaze. It had been 7 months and 30 days since Ace and I parted ways. I hate the word "breakup" with every fiber of my being. So,
