Surprise visit
"Warner?" I stared at him in shock and surprise.
He'd called and messaged last night, but through all this going on I couldn't check his message. And now seeing him standing before me again, rose the guilt inside me again.
"Hey!" Tucking a strand behind my ear, I greeted him with an awkward stance.
His brown orbs roamed over my features, a frown set between his brows. "You alright? You seem… not well."
Even after what I did, he was still concerned for me. That's why I didn't want to lose a friend like him. Before we started dating, he was my best friend in NY.
All of a sudden, I'd a sudden urge to hug him tight and share all my problems with him. But I knew I couldn't.
Gulping, I nodded my head. "I'm fine, don't worry. Come in!" I held the door wide open for him, flashing a small smile.
Once we were settled in the hall, I got him some coffe

"What's wrong with him? I don't know how can that insane man impress you that much?" Warner asked, baffled.Sending him a look, I walked back to my bed and plopped down on it."What's going on here, Em? Will you tell me now?" he queried again. "Did you two already break up?""We were never together for the break up you're talking about.""Then?" Raising his brow, he probed me to explain further.Sighing, I told him everything. And he listened, taking a seat beside me.But I kept some of the parts from him. Ace's past, especially his being a drug addict back then. It felt wrong to disclose his extremely personal and sore past to Warner. So I kept that part left out. Instead I told him after Ace's father's death, he went into depression and decided to push me away from him taking my sister's help.It was all I could come up with.
The Trap Of Ace Trapped by him
Huffing, I slammed the files on the desk. I've been brainstorming since the breaking news, but I couldn't come up with anything.So Achilles Valencian literally destroyed Antonio Reymond's image before the whole world. From the gossip I heard from others around the office, after this blow, Antonio's company's shares dropped in the market drastically within some hours. Apparently, he was doomed.I even heard police had some proof against him doing illegal businesses far in small towns.I was sure Ace had a hand behind it. Otherwise how did police get all the proofs, strong enough to destroy a powerful businessman just in a day?Only Achilles Valencian could do it.After what that man did to Caleb, I should've seen it coming. But this was a big blow. How did he manage it?My legs itched to go to his cabin and ask him directly. I wanted to know what
The Trap Of Ace Always there with me
Fuming, I strode to the door and tried to open it. But his pair of strong arms snaked around my midriff and hauled me to the middle of the cabin.A shriek left my mouth. "What the hell, Valencian! Leave me right now!""I will. Once you hear everything I've to say."His calm tone made me boil. I didn't let him explain things, so he would literally keep me captive in his cabin, in his arms?I can't believe this man!"No! I won't hear anything! You'll do what I want, and then let me go!" I said, putting on the scariest face I could manage on my face with a stern voice.But he ignored me. Because he was too busy roaming his grey eyes across my every single feature. As if he hadn't seen me for years. Not tolerating being disregarded like that, I stepped on his feet. With my five inches heel.A hiss left his mouth, his filled with adoration orbs now watched me in sh
The Trap Of Ace Meeting Sierra
Pressing the bell, I waited.The elevator opened and a lanky middle aged man came out in a floral shirt. Stopping at his track, he eyed me up and down with his slightly red eyes. I faced away from him and tapped the bell again.What's taking her so much time to open the door?Once the creepy man unlocked his apartment next to the one I was standing before and got inside casting me one last lingering glance before closing the door, I sighed in relief.God knows how she stayed here with this creep at the other side of the wall.With a click, the door opened and her blonde head peeked through it. Surprise was etched into her brown eyes."Emerald? What're you doing here?""Hi, Sierra!" I smiled. "Sorry, I tried to call you but it went unreachable every time. I heard from Matt that you weren't well, so thought to give you a visit."
The Trap Of Ace Two conditions
YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!An equal owner of everything he owned? That's ridiculous! Why the hell would he do that?Only Achilles insane Valencian would be able to answer that.With eyes formed into a scowl, lips pressed into displeasure and rage running hot through my veins, I stormed into his cabin. Well, I wasn't required to knock.His eyes snapped up from his mobile. Standing in the middle of his cabin, his features matched my emotions right now. He was glaring holes at his phone.I knew what ran into his head. Of course he would be mad if I wouldn't receive his non-stop calls and messages. My phone stopped vibrating as he cut the call."Where the hell were you?" Throwing the phone on his desk, he fired."And what the hell did you do?" I countered back, glaring at him.The place between his thick brows crinkled. "What did I do? Shouldn't I be aski
The Trap Of Ace Pervert!
A soft chuckle left him. "Of course, Rosebud. Nothing will happen to me. I'm just stating facts.""Then it's a really absurd fact! And you'll emotionally blackmail me to get me into your court now? Because that's not happening!""I'm not blackmailing you. And what's done is done. It's not negotiable anymore."My lips pressed tight. "What if I run away with all your money?"Another laugh. "You can take anything you want, baby. Everything is yours. Just make sure you also take me along. Because I can't live without you."I could feel my cheeks and neck heating up again at his cheeky response. Now he was flirting with me?Unbelievable man!I wiggled out of his arms. "Whatever you say, I'll make you take everything back from me. Or I will give it back to you!"He quirked a brow. "It's non reversal, Rosebud.""We'

"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
The Trap Of Ace A chance
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.
