Teasing Mr. Valencian
H-he remembered that?
Though our visits here were vague in my mind, I still remembered the day when Tobias brought him along to our family to introduce his new best friend.
How could I forget the day I got encountered with those stormy grey eyes for the first time?
The reserved yet shy boy was uncomfortable among so many unknown people until his gaze locked with mine. The soft smile that had tugged across his lips in the return of my own toothy one, had engraved into my heart since then.
He gently brushed his thumb on my cheek. "Those adorable freckles are almost non visible now."
"I still have them. It's just the make-up." Words came out of my mouth of its own, lost into his grey pools.
A tiny frown set between his brows. "The make-up that hides your beauty, you should avoid them."
"Again back to dictating me, are we Mr. Valencian? I'm not

Warner? Why was he calling me?The phone buzzed again. But this time, it was a message from him."Who's it?"My thumb halted in the mid way from opening the message. Slowly turning around, I put my phone back into my purse. "It's Mom, she asked if we've reached the party safely."I couldn't mention Warner's name now. No matter how sweet he was right now, jealousy didn't sit well with him. He proved it many times before. And I didn't want to ruin this night when it just started.I'd just talk to Warner later.Nodding, he put the trays of food on the table and gestured to me to sit. Of course, pulling my chair for me.Shaking my head, I smiled. "Thank you."When he settled at the opposite chair of me, my eyes fell on his broad shoulders. Gone his jacket, now he was only in his black shirt. And it clung to his sculpted chest and a
The Trap Of Ace Heartbroken
Taking a sip on the tea, I ran my eyes on the newspaper. The noise of Mom's chopping vegetables and moving utensils in the kitchen rang across. But nothing moved my attention from the paper, not even her curious glances."You know, the Blackwood's daughter ran off with her cousin's fiance?" Her sigh resonated from the opposite side of the counter. "I got to know from the kitty party last night. Children these days, I don't know what runs in their head."I flipped another page. The business column."Your aunt called me this morning to inform me how she's enjoying her vacation in Switzerland with her third husband and soon will be sending me some pictures of their little honeymoon." She snorted. "As if I wanted to know anyway. I'm glad that your Dad didn't go after his elder sister. Thank God she's not in the country right now. At least I got some relief from her frequent visits."I stayed quiet. Not warning her about
The Trap Of Ace 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
The Trap Of Ace Arrested?
"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
