Chapter 31
After a heavy fight with Ace but ironically with no words of exchange since she is a convent bred with Godly principles Scarlet returned to the chapel where all the sisters were praying. Her eyes bled with tears all through the journey and like a child who needs her mother during sorrow, Scarlet was holding herself to the moment where she could hug sister Mary and tell her everything that happened between her and Ace. No sooner she stepped at the orphanage where she was brought up her body and mind attained peace.
She had only informed her that she would be coming back to New York very shortly. Sister Mary expected her to come with Ace and give their marriage invitation to all the sisters just like Ace spoke a few days ago but when Scarlet responded she was alone, Mary could already guess there was something wrong happening there.
Chapter 32Six months had passed since Scarlet left Ace and his life turned back to phase one of being a cold and irritable boss once again. His staff who once called him their dear paymaster began to fear him like they had seen a demon and avoided even meeting his eyes as far as possible.Ace knew it wasn't a positive impact that he was generating on his employees but he could not help himself. Last Wednesday he had a huge fight with his father just because the old man told him not to come home drunk to pick his daughter up. Ace knew what Edmond said was right but getting drunk is the only way he could keep his heart away from aching for Scarlet. Her beautiful and smiling face often knocked his dreams even during the very little time he could fall asleep.The only positive news Ace noted i
Chapter 33After meeting Mary, Carl informed his boss what she had told him about Scarlet. But like always his difficult mafia leader was not convinced with his representation.Sherlock ordered Carl either he should send him the proof that Scarlet is dead or find out where she is and extract the code from her. The secret code was very essential for the survival of the Italian mafia which has been running on a record low of less than a million mafia operations since the past five years. The code is the key to rejuvenation of their success.Scarlet's father was a devoted employee and the right hand of Russian mafia leader Prince Vangchew. During the time (almost two decades ago) he gave him the secret code before dying that it should be passed to future generations in or
Chapter 34The next morning Carl reached Sherlock's mafia warehouse with eyes shining as bright as stars in happiness. Scarlet is not in the convent and did not return to the hostel as well. She is surely dead.The girl was almost having a panic attack when she fled from her room after hitting him on his head. Being brought up with morals and ethics, violence was not her trait and that became his biggest advantage against her.No matter how many times her friends cautioned, he had turned her eyes blinded with his fake love which turned a cent percent success.Seeing him with another woman was the shock of her life for innocent Scarlet. She tried to attack him with a broken bottle trying to be the bold wo
Chapter 35"Why is there a necessity for her to come back to Perth. That billionaire fiancee of hers can get her a seat in any part of the world using his reputation and can pay any amount of fees." Sherlock blew on Carl's face with anger who stared at him spell shocked, still not able to recover from the news he got from him.Did the girl he thought of as an innocent maiden really manipulate a billionaire businessman with her smartness, not only continue her education using his reputation but also to soon marry him? The whole episode appeared like an unbelievable dream to Carl."How do you know she is engaged to Ace Taylor? Might be your informers are wrong s
Chapter 36 Sherlock Hanes had driven away Carl from his mafia operations after being unsuccessful in getting a grip on Scarlet. But associated with the underworld he had to keep his eyes everywhere. There is no area which he can overrule and move forward especially regarding Scarlet who is his secret storehouse of money and source for survival of his mafia re-entry. After Carl left him, he ordered his chief security Bill to follow him and get a narco test done on him. Regarding narco analysis tests, sodium pentothal is injected into the person's body. Also known as the 'truth serum'. This injection transports the accused to a hypnotic state. In this state, it is believed, the accused is incapable of lying.
Chapter 37Sleep took over like sedation for the earthly magic of evolution that they had undergone. An hour later, the cry from the monitor 'mama' woke Scarlet up from her thick slumber.Ace's eyes were closed. His mind and body relaxed after a very long time. It appeared like his months of penance to get back his lost love had finally bore him a fruit - the love making between them was explicitly fulfilling.With one of his hands under his head and the other playing with his hair of Scarlet, his voice was groggy and charismatic while his eyes continued to stay closed. "Thank God, she allowed us to complete what we started."Scarlet stayed mute and bit the inside of her cheek. She unties her body from Ace's arm and scampers to the washroom to clean up
Chapter 38A week laterIt was Angel's birthday the next day. Scarlet was making cookies for their little bundle of joy. Angel had invited all her friends.As per her wish, Ace had gifted her a bicycle and Scarlet baked her favorite Vanilla cake along with chocolate pudding.Angel was dressed pretty in a green ball gown that matched her turquoise eyes. It was time to blow the candles and sing the birthday song when there was a knock at the door. A parcel arrived for her from New York.Scarlet knew what it was! But she wanted it to keep as a surprise for Angel. Inside the gift box was a huge teddy bear with many chocolates. Yes, the gift was from the convent.
Chapter 39All of them got into a Mercedes Benz waiting at the school parking lot. Scarlet was too shaken to speak anything and she stayed in her own world. Angel was sitting between both her parents.Throughout the ride Ace kept talking to someone on the phone. Though she could not understand the language which was Italian and French she could make out he was not happy with the outcome as it was related to a mishap she was about to suffer.He kept shouting at the other person on the line. Angel, who was silent till then crawled into Ace's lap, hugged him and put her head on his chest with her legs on either side of his waist. Only then did Ace realize his anger was going beyond the boundary. He patted her little back and calmed himself for the sake of Angel.
