Author's PovA little boy seated in the corner of the room holding a picture frame against his chest, his whole body was trembling badly as he knew what was coming next when he heard the loud sound of footsteps, angry footsteps to be precise. He jerked in terror when the door of the room was slammed open revealing the glaring old man, he fixed his glasses and walked near the whimpering boy."Didn't I tell you to not leave the room?" He gulped gripping the frame closer to his chest, the old man looked scarier than anyone else.His bulking belly which almost ripped the buttons of the shirt off, the dressed pants and the round glasses around his eyes made him look like an innocent fragile man who had been wronged by many in his whole life but the darkness behind the shyness introvert persona he held was only recognized by the little boy who knew what was coming afterwards."Kneel." He ordered making the boy cry in helplessness, he hugged the harder which didn't go unnoticed by the heartl
Author's PovAce rubbed his forehead as he watched his wife who hadn't woke up for the last two days, she was running a terrible fever and whenever her fever went down, he couldn't even find the time to have a breath of relief when she again gotten a new one. Gulping down, he took a seat beside her before biting his lower lip, there was something in his heart that felt at unease after not able to see those hypnotic eyes of hers.He knew he shouldn't feel anything, he didn't have it in him to feel anything for anyone anymore then why the fuck her condition was messing with his emotions? He couldn't understand the gravity of the situation but he knew one thing, he would never allow her to die at least not before him. His blinked slightly before he took a seat beside her.She must be hating him after everything he had done to her father or to her right? Of course she must be, she had never for once liked him in the first place to actually not be able to hate his cruelty. She had all the
Author's PovAurora stared at the garden with gloomy gaze as she finally was able to step out of the house, she woke up two days ago and as always Ace ignored her existence like before, it was hard to accept the fact that Ace was indeed truthful when he said he just needed a wife without any emotional attachments, he just needed her for his needs and to show others that he wasn't bachelor anymore.Somewhere in her heart, she desperately wished to see the old Ace again but now the surface of her hope had turned barren, she had tried to water it with everything she had left in her but nothing worked. Ace had changed and for the worst, she even against her will had to accept it, he wasn't her Ace anymore, he was Ace Sullivan now.Her palm fisted the necklace dangling over her neck as she closed her eyes while remembering the day he made her wear it, Ace had bought a beautiful ring for her to wear him and she did on the wedding day while her neck was owned by his gifted necklace. Aurora s
Author's PovAurora blandly watched the rich men having different kind of women hung of their arms, Aurora could definitely guess who was the wife and who the mistress, what disgusted her the most was the fact that one of the men had his mistress hung on his arm while his wife was seated beside him wearing a fake smile for the world to see that she was fine with whatever her husband was doing to her even thought she obviously wasn't.Aurora looked down at her realising how covered her body was, the dress butler gave her was turtle neck long warm dress which reached below her knees, even her hair was tied in a tight bun as she didn't have a heart to style them, while the women present in the bar wore shimmering gowns which revealed most of their skins, they all looked beyond mesmerising and Aurora knew she didn't belong here. Her low self esteem was being stumped on with the way each women present there looked way more beautiful and graceful than her, even the mistresses had the aura
Author's PovAurora's eyes widened as she froze on the spot as the flashes of the last time they met came back in her mind, she could never forget how he almost killed her that night if it wasn't for her who escaped him, but now what? She was completely trapped against the door and his massive body which seemed to be grown wider and tougher than before.His usual smirk and evil eyes narrowed at her made her heartbeat run a marathon in utter fear, soon enough he left her arms and took a one step back from her but didn't let her escape him, palming the door above her head he removed the sly smirk and adorned the thick frown as he inspected her from head to toe."Aurora," He whispered before trailing his dark eyes against her fearful ones, his hoarse deep voice made her clutch her dress in pure anxiety. She didn't the sound of her name from his lips."You have changed a lot," He mumbled once again looking at her from head to toe which made her utterly uncomfortable."Get away." She whisp
Author's PovAurora stared at the window blankly watching the heavy rain colliding with the glass rapidly, her eyes might gave the whole attention to the water vigorously showing its dominance over the world but her mind was stuck over the voice that echoed in her head repeatedly. Max's particular assertion two days ago was still over powering head. Why don't you ask him who am I to him?She wanted to, she badly wanted to know what was between max and Ace, why Max used her to hurt him, why he was so crazily after Ace? So many questions and answers were reserved with the man who didn't even want to see her until she was all healthy again, she was given a good medication and Ace visited her only when there was a time for him to apply ointment on her bruises.They shared no words or any kind of intimacy in these two days after all she knew her back must be terribly injured because of Max's strength, all she could sense was his dark aura and tense energy whenever he applied ointment on h
Author's Pov"W-What?" She whispered instantly turning around to face the cold man, even the smirk he had a while ago wasn't there. She looked desperately in his eyes to find any kind of joke or humor in them but nothing, he seemed dead serious. Without a single word being exchanged, Ace dug his hand in his pocket before bringing out the covered dagger he always had with him, his favorite tool, he steadily pulled the cover off the sharp dagger revealing a scorpion pierced over it before raising his eyes to her shaken up frame, Aurora's breathing fastened even more when he raised the dagger in her way."You know what is this?" She gulped when he wrapped his one palm over her shoulder while bringing the dagger near her face with other."This is what I use on my preys, and example is in front of you," before Aurora could comprehend anything he swiftly turned around her body making her back hit his front making her face the gruesome sight of barely unconscious Sanders.Ace pulled the dag
Author's PovAce punched the wall before palming the same surface dropping his head down, his wife was taken to the emergency ward forcing the giant man to stay out of it. It was so hard to get him leave her with the doctors until Sameul warned him that his stubborness will delay her treatment and it would affect her health even more, reluctantly he watched her being dragged inside the room as the stetcher she was laid on was filled with her blood.Ace was indeed curious to know why she accepted to attack the man herself but he never in the million years thought she would rather harm herself than to hurt the bastard who had made her suffer so much. The fact that his personal doctor told him that the knife luckily missed her heart while they were in the car rushing to the hospital, she even said that the stab wasn't deep enough to reach her heart but she actually did aim for it.The rush of guilt and uneasy fear started scratching his heart, he didn't want to feel anything, this was ho
