Eerie corridors
"I didn't know you were so eager to ruin your sister's rehearsal dinner. Inviting your ex and present lover at the same time? And when the lover is a fiercely possessive one," Casie tasked, glancing behind me.
My heart skipped a beat. Swirling around, I found Warner strolling in the backyard. Noticing him, Tess and Caleb walked up to him, giving him welcoming hugs.
Sighing, I turned back.
"What's with the sullen face?" she asked, the side of her lips tugged up into a devilish smirk. "Expected someone else?"
Glaring at her, I took a sip on my lemonade.
It's been an hour we'd arrived at Tess' rehearsal dinner at Valencian Mansion. A BBQ party was held in the vast backyard of the mansion before the dinner. The trees were lit with fairy lights and a small bonfire was set in the middle. While Mom, Dad and some of our uncles and aunts sat around the fire to keep themselves warm

My breath hitched at my throat. Heart pounded down my chest.He was talking about Sierra?He must be. B-but, why did he need to order someone to finish her if she does anything against him?Did he get to know I went to see her? To get information about him?No, no. Even if he did know of my visit, how could he know that I had any kind of suspicion on him? I could visit her for any reason, right? She was my friend after all.But that wasn't the matter of concern right now. Sierra was in danger. He could harm her at any moment. And I couldn't let this happen. I had to do something for her.What secret of his did she know for him to act that vicious to the point where he'd want her to be dead?When he put the phone down and put it into his pocket, I whirled around and left as fast as I could, without making any noise.

The Trap Of Ace I love you
Running my palm over the smooth fabric one more time, I took a deep breath and opened the door. With every step down the stairs the ends of my gown flared more, providing a feel of a princess ascending down the staircase towards the prince charming of hers.But for me, my annoying best friend stood down, not even looking at me. She was too busy applying her dark red lipstick holding a small mirror before her dolled up face. The light blue mermaid gown with her blonde curls resting over her shoulders looked stunning on her.Hearing me approaching, her eyes looked up to me. And her jaw dropped."Holy shit!" She glanced up and down my whole structure. "This is the first time I'm feeling ashamed to be straight as a stick. Damn! Achilles is a lucky ass!"I laughed. "Look who's talking. See yourself in the mirror first."She shrugged. "I just did. Thanks for the not direct compliment thoug

He froze.Slowly pulling away, he cupped my cheeks. "What did you say?"I bit my lip. But the shy smile broke out on my face anyway."What did you say, Rosebud? Did you just," he gulped, his eyes were desperate, "did you just say that you…""I love you."He let out a shaky breath, the intense emotions swirling in his grey orbs seared my heart."Say it again," he rasped.Pulling him closer, I brushed my lips against his desirable ones. "I love you, Achilles Valencian. I love you so much that it hurts."Heaving a sigh, he engulfed me into his chest. I placed my cheek right above his heart listening to his fast heartbeat.I didn't complain about his vice grip around me as we stayed like that for some moments. Though I didn't like his silence."Ace?" I whispered into his chest.
The Trap Of Ace Enemy inside?
My smile slipped, eyes widened.Antonio Reymond? So that's why he seemed to be so familiar. I'd seen him on the TV that day, but couldn't see his face properly because he had his hand covering his face from the cameras.But wasn't he in jail? What the hell was he doing here now? And after all he did to Caleb. The nerve of this man!My jaw clenched. "What are you doing here? As far as I know you're not invited to this wedding."Did Ace know of his presence here?If he did, he wouldn't be still parading out here like this.He placed his hand on his heart. "Oops! I wasn't expecting that coming. You hurt me, Ms. Hutton. I didn't know you behaved that way with your guests.""I do, with uninvited guests."A humourless chuckle left him. "Feisty, huh?""What's happening here?" The blonde asked, confusion
The Trap Of Ace Claimed by the beast
In the shadow of his car, his hot calloused hand trailed up under my gown to my thigh. His flaming touch left a scorch behind on my skin, followed by my ragged breath and racing heart.Wiggling on his lap, I pushed his hand away, glancing over the driver who was silently weaving the car through the road."Your driver can see us!" I whispered.A grumble reverberated through his chest but his mouth didn't hesitate to fall on my cleavage. Due to our passionate make out and his pervert hand's trying to pull down on my gown from my chest as much as he can, my neckline was much lower than it'd be appropriate before the public eyes.But Achilles Valencian seemed to be enjoying the sight very much.When he tried to lower my neckline more for his lustful gaze, I slapped his hand away again."Behave!"Cursing under breath, he leaned in and did someth
The Trap Of Ace Sore
Turning around, I reached out for a warm body beside me but all I found was emptiness. Just the crinkled sheet and his lingering scent. Frowning, I opened my eyes and looked around.There was no sign of him in the dimmed room. Even the bathroom's door was ajar just as we left it last night.Where was he?I glanced at the table clock on the side table beside the bed. Three in the morning. Where could he go this early?And then a gust of cool air touched my face. The glass door of the balcony was open.Clutching the blanket around me as I went to get up, a hiss left my lips at the pain that shot up in my lower region. Thus memories of last night flooded back in my mind, heating up my cheeks.There was even a delicious soreness across my entire body.Achilles Valencian was true to his words. He did punish me sweetly by taking me again and again unti

With a tight smile, he nodded at me. The fleeting grimace on his face while he took a look at my clothes didn't go missed."I heard there were some problems going on between you two. But I'm glad to see you together today," he said, though his eyes didn't match his words.Ace came back with a shirt on and took the charge of the pancakes from me again. Placing a kiss on my forehead, he said, "I've got some clothes for you in the room. Go, change. And then come out for breakfast."When did he do that?But it was good since I didn't want to roam only into a shirt before Arthur.Nodding my head, I walked away from the kitchen as I heard their voices."What brings you here so early in the morning, Arthur?" Ace asked."It was important. I thought to call you but then thought discussing face to face would be better. It's about the deal with the Russians."
The Trap Of Ace Duncan De Sylvano
That freaking back stabber! How could he betray his own nephew like that? He joined hands with Antonio for what? To defame his own family? What would he gain if Valencian Corp's reputation got ruined in the market? Wouldn't it harm his bank balance too? I knew he was not what he showed to the world.
