Leaving him
With clenched fists, I stood there with tears brimming into my eyes, watching him going still. Color slowly drained from his face, as his grey eyes widened to a friction.
"W-what did you say?" his deep accent asked.
"I said what you heard. If you don't trust me at all, I don't think this thing between us can work." Shaking my head, I wiped my tears furiously. "I'm tired of you continuously keeping me in the dark! I've already suffered for years because of your one sided decision, I won't take more. You can now happily stay in your penthouse with your stubbornness, secrets and privacy! No Emerald will nag you again and again to know your past from now on!"
Ignoring the way his shoulders tensed, the crazed look that flashed across his eyes, his clenched jaw, I turned around and stormed out of the room.
"Don't you dare put even a step out of the penthouse, Emerald! You aren't going anywhere!"

The Trap Of Ace   Panic
Knocking on the door, I waited.The hallway of the hotel was quite empty. I didn't even notice much rush of customers around. This hotel's being so old and deep in the city could be the reason behind it.This was the hotel Warner was staying at for the time being. He once gave me his address to meet him there, but I couldn't make up my time to do so. Well, I had been ignoring him a lot in the last few days, even months. And here I was thinking not to hurt him anymore.It was my luck to have such a great friend like him. Even after everything, he was here for me.When some moments passed and nobody answered, I knocked again. And this time I heard his voice."Who's it?" asking, as he opened the door, his slightly swollen eyes met mine.Surprise flashed in them."Em? Y-you came?" A uneven smile stretched across his face. "I thought you don't care for me eno

Letting out a cry, I got up from the floor and ran to him. His strong arms wrapped around me as protective wings as soon as I reached him.I shook in his chest as hot tears ran down my cheeks. With my heart still pounding from panic, knees weak, I clung to him as if my life was depending on him."Rosebud?" he called out. "Hey, hey! Baby, look at me, are you alright? What happened? What did he do? Tell me?" Cupping my face, he attempted to make me look at him, but I hid my face in his warm chest again, still trembling from what just happened."He… he…" I hiccuped in between my sobs, not being able to form any words. His arms tightened around me.I could feel his turning all rigid, the way his muscles tensed. His hands shook around me. His breathing came out heavy."WHAT DID YOU DO?" Deep Greek accent echoed in his voice, tone darker and rougher than I had ever heard. "What had you done to
The Trap Of Ace   Mrs. Valencian
A sigh left me with the continuous feathery kisses gliding down my neck and shoulder, when the gentle yet possessive touch of a pair of calloused hands over my curves pulled me out of the sleep.His hot breath fanned across the skin of my neck. A raspy deep groan reverberated through his chest when his palms slided over mine."So perfect…" husky voice murmured into my ear.A gasp slipped my lips as he softly bit on the skin of my throat. My eyes fluttered open to the shadowed room. The curtains blocked the sunlight out, only some rays of light peeked through the gaps.And then I found a pair of beautiful stormy grey eyes peering into mine. With some strands of his ruffled bed hair falling over his forehead, a day's old stubble across his sharp jaw and that familiar intense look of his whenever he looked at me left me breathless; as always."Good morning, my beautiful Rose.

"He…" I licked my lower lip which suddenly felt very dry.He nodded, patiently waiting for me to continue."He isn't what you think…"His phone blared on the counter, halting me in the mid sentence. Frowning, he picked up the phone and let out a sigh."Sorry, Rosebud. Have to take this," apologizing, he answered the call. "Yes, Arthur?"Even though the displeasure was lucid on his face being disturbed again, his tone maintained the respect for his uncle. If it was someone else, he wouldn't be so lenient for the interruption."Hmm. Alright. Just send the details to Carter. I'll take a look later," he said, while picking up a grape and putting it in my mouth. As I chewed on it, he listened carefully to what Arthur had to say.Then suddenly his gaze snapped up to mine.Nodding slowly, he said, "Alright, will tell her. Yeah, see you later."
The Trap Of Ace   The revelation - Part 1
Once in the newly organized study, I found it much similar to his cabin in the office, and of course, decorated with my chosen furniture.Except one thing.A huge picture frame on the wall, covered with a white sheet. The same one I saw in this room during my last visit. I still remembered that blue diamond ring in her finger that was left unconcealed. But this time the sheet hid it whole.I had the same question again. Whose picture was that?Still securely clutching my hand in his, he stood before the picture. A soft sigh left him."Ace?" My voice came out as a whisper.Rising his hand, he tugged at the sheet, letting it fall on the floor. My eyes widened slightly.It wasn't a picture. It was a painting. Painting of his mother, Ophelia.As graceful and sophisticated as ever, she stood there with her head held high and confidence sparkl

He let out a sigh. "Two."It wasn't much, but it still managed to sting. Biting my lip, I nodded and looked away.This was ridiculous! It was in his past! Then why did I want to murder those girls who got to have him?Pressing his forehead against mine, he held my gaze. "It was when you left for NY. Even for just some time, i- I thought to let you go. I wanted to forget you so that you can live your life happily. So, for that I thought other girls could help me. Even if deep down I knew I couldn't last for longer until I finally lost it and ran back to see you." He placed a kiss in between my brows. "And it happened. I could stretch it only for one month until I lost it. I knew no one could take the place of my Rosebud. Nor could I live without loving her, without seeing her."A tear slipped down my cheek. "Those years were hell for me as well. At least you could come and see me from afar. B-but, I had to figh
The Trap Of Ace   She's my home...
Ace's POV"He was murdered by his own son. I killed him."I watched her silently as she froze in her place. With her Turquoise eyes wide in shock, her lips parted. The color of her face drained the moment she heard those words left my mouth. The truth I had been hiding in the deepest corner of my memories. The ugliest and darkest truth of my life I never wanted to reveal before her.She kept quiet. Only unbearable silence echoed throughout the hall. Other than shock and disbelief, I couldn't read a single emotion on her beautiful face. Because there was none.I inhaled deep. The same ominous feeling was rising up my chest again, choking me in its vicious grip. Clenching my fists, I ignored the pain that shot through my heart."Emerald," her name sneaked out as a whisper through my lips. "Say something."She didn't. She just stood there, staring at
The Trap Of Ace   One down
Sunlight beamed against my eyelids, making me slowly flutter them open. A yawn sneaked out of me as I stretched across the bed very unladylike. The soreness around different places of my satisfied body bloomed a smile on my lips.But it slipped as soon as I found the emptiness beside me when my hands searched for his warmth. The sheets were cold enough for me to understand that he had gotten up a long time ago.It was getting on my nerves not finding him with me in the bed when I woke up in the morning. I craved his body warmth around me and his sultry kisses.Then memories of last night flooded into my mind. My heart clenched with the recollection of his pain and suffering for years. For the crime he didn't do.It was saddening that he had lived half of his life thinking he was the cause of his father's death and thought that I'd hate him after learning the truth. I wished he had told me earlier about
