Scarlet decided to leave Ace's home. Nevertheless, when she was acting on it a gut wrenching feeling of sadness occupied the pit of her stomach. The very origin of the thought got emptiness in her heart. This is what she wanted. Then why was she feeling sad instead of staying happy?
A lone tear fell out from the corner of her eye. Scarlet gulped and quickly wiped the tear away as if it was blunder not to be committed at any cost. This was the moment of happiness, not meant for crying, she pep-talked to herself.
Scarlett contemplated if she needed to inform Ace of her leaving the house but the scene that went the previous morning rehearsed in her brain. Ace almost broke the wall with anger. Her heart missed a beat with fear and she decided not to inform him of anything.
"I'm thankful to you for your benevolence and kind-heartedness in saving me from court rehearsals, hearings, and cops regarding my situation with Carl. You have given me a new life by helping me with a seat in a university many of us can only dream of. But I do not want to be a burden upon you anymore." Scarlet slightly bowed before him and resumed her task of cleaning.Ace's teeth went chitter-chatter with temper. Within a leap of her eyes he stood in front of her as dangerous as a reckoning Tsunami."What is it with you? I only told you to come home and you're giving me a lecture here." Ace wasn't accustomed to listening, he gives orders and others listen to him. Scarlet was work, the complete opposite of his female preference but he has no idea why he wanted her happy and comfortable.
Sania wasn't able to understand the cryptic declarations of her protector but one thing was clear. She was idealistically attracted to him. Her complete body was on an ache to be touched by him and tingles erupted in her nerves yearning for his hands on her body. She drew herself closer to him and he pressed his palms on her back in protectiveness. Not an iota of air could pass between them. The warmth of his skin pressed hard against her, transformed Sania into a different world. She ducked her head in the crook of his neck and inhaled his scent and everything around felt non-existent. It was only him and her. In a fraction she felt heated, solicited by an uncontrollable desire. His canoodle ignited a spark in her rioting nerves and her heart began to beat rapidly against his chest. He certainly could feel it. She knew because moments later he stared back into her eyes in an alarm. "Sania" he called her in a warning. "This isn't good." He commanded her. "What do you mean? What
The principal made a loud yelp drawing his face to the ground. He had made a blunder listening to his dick rather than mind. But it was too late to realize. In the court of Ace Taylor there is no second chance. One mistake, and the man is finished. He is a good pay master but a very strict boss and Pennsylvania university comes strictly under his jurisdiction no matter what's the name he is associated with."Finished pulling your foolish stunts? Now come home." He pulled Scarlet out of the scene where gossiping had already started.Scarlet kept staring at him as he guided her to his car and asked in innocence. "What happened? Why were you angry with the principal and why was he on his knees begging before you to save him?"Ace was already a burning sun ball by then. He
The next morning was a weekend. Ace knew Scarlet had to go to the university since she was having examinations.Last week when the exams were conducted, Angel was sick and Scarlett took a few days leave from college to look after her. Thus she missed her tests.Ace made Scarlett apply for re-exam and got it approved. She shouldn't be missing her high grades at any cost, especially because of him or Angel. Otherwise it will kill him every second with guilt.This morning he got up early and cooked breakfast for her since the previous night she stayed till late mid-night to study."Good morning!" He greeted Scarlett when she went into the kitchen to cook something for breakfast.
Ace released her with a jerk. He narrowed his eyes and observed Scarlet. "What is it with you? At one moment you are angry and irritated, completely against me coming here and rendering your sermons of self-dependence and the next moment you're too happy with eyes dancing in happiness as if you have received an Oscar for your acting skills? Why are you bipolar? Is everything with you okay, Scarlet?"Just why did he come here? The self-conceited asshole calls me bipolar. What about him? He is extremely jovial and light cracking jokes this second and the next he looks like he is about to kill.Scarlet made a face looking at Ace and then stared around at the people peering back at them like two people on the front cover of a romance novel.
After Brianna left Ace became a living corpse. In the initial years, he used to come home every day drunk and Margaret was worried about his future with their little granddaughter. That's when she dropped the idea of providing a nanny to little Angel.With the nanny's advent, Margaret will not have any information about her son's life but now he visits her every day to pick up his daughter because of which she would know the whereabouts of Ace.Ace also has to stay sober to handle Angel from the time he picks her up. Margaret is at peace now with the advent of Scarlet in the family. There is someone to watch over her son and granddaughter and hopefully Ace turns up to be a better human andfather.*****It was
Ace returned home that night with cheerfulness. He played for some time with Angel in the park and then returned home. Though Scarlet insisted she would do it, he gave the child a bubble bath, prepared dinner and also put Angel to sleep. Scarlet was happy that after a long time finally she could see some happiness in the features of Ace. Since the murder attempt upon her, he had been a lot worried. Though he acts jovial and smiling after so many months of staying with Ace, she could at least decipher when he is acting and when he is in real happiness. Scarlet took a warm shower and was waiting for Ace in the bedroom. But when he did not return even after half an hour she stepped down the stairs. Probably her delight was only short lived as she could hear him screaming at someone on the phone. "Damn it! Because she is my wife."
Ace sat on one of the super soft leather sofas in the sitting room and was observing Scarlet without making himself obvious as she completed her assignment. She looks so innocent and pristine with a pencil playing between her lips. Her long chest-nut braided hair fell on her front passing through her bosom and reaching the side of her torso.His heart skipped a beat as he recalled her blue eyes that sparkled with delight whenever he bought her something that she likes. Unlike costly jewelry, party wear dresses, small things like an ice-cream could make Scarlet happy.If he tells her his wild intentions, mesmerized by her pretty antics, she would make a roll-up. Her lips would pucker up in anger with a scrunched nose. Just imagining her face which would look so funny at the same time cute, Ace chuckled.
