Ace POVI nodded in and out at my desk for hours not wanting to move forward with this life. I was just done. Tired of the raging storm constantly brewing inside me with no reprieve. My eyes read over the company's contract again, but I couldn't hit send to my lawyer. I won't feel bad about what I did to her. She lied all week to me. Tortured my soul with her body then just moved on with her life. Why was it so easy for her to be without me?"Go away!" I shouted to whoever was knocking at my door. I definitely didn't want to see any of them.Then the door knob jiggled and I heard it unlock. Who the fuck thought they could just burst in here? I stood up to just beat the shit out of whoever was there until she walked in. Of course Alley walked right in like she could do anything she wanted."I don't want to see your disgusting face. Get out!" I barked, but of course she didn't listen. She closed and locked the door then sat in front of my desk."I wanted to apologize. I won't bother yo

Alley POVI watched Christian walk away from my life, again. Tears slowly left my eyes hating this imagine more than anything else. Why does it have to be so hard?"I should take you home." Greg's hand came to mine drawing small circles with his thumb. I wasn't spiraling, I was just numb."I'm sorry for wasting your time Ralph." I spoke almost dismissively to the air. I didn't know if he was connected to the shit the Blackwood name was involved in, but right now I didn't care. His family was in bed with the Devil and I was done with all them in my life.I slid out the booth then turned to Greg. "We need to have our talk. I need to tell you, before I can't.""Ok. Let's go home. Darien is with my sister so we won't have any interruptions." His hand slid on my waist and guided me out the restaurant. I made some coffee the second we got back to my house and we sat awkwardly on my couch. I know Greg was waiting patiently for me to begin."My real name is Alley Knight and I grew up in a sm

Ace POVI walked into the dining hall feeling incredibly uneasy. One hand remained in my slacks and the other nervously raked my black hair or played with my jacket. I never in my life felt this uncomfortable before. It didn't matter though. I had to just see her and say good bye. I needed to know she would never try to leave this world again.There was a stage with kids setting up for what looked to be a play. This charity event was already much different than any I had been too. We didn't invite the poor to mingle with us and we definitely didn't watch some half ass play they put on. The space itself was fancy with black tile floors and silver walls. The ceiling had large modern light structures hanging from above with fairy lights strung between. There was a wooden stage that looked to be setup and not a permanent fixture, a section for tables covered in white linens, and of course a small dance floor. People already took their seats to begin eating and a man announced the show wa

Ace POVThe second I stepped foot off the plane in hot as hell Columbia my little rat face fiancé was wrapped around me. God, this was going to be a long fucking trip."Ace, I missed you, my future husband!" Marie was roughly kissing my neck while licking and sucking as she moaned. I stood there in grey suit pants, white shirt half a mess, and just numb. I didn't grab her back and cracked my neck at the constant nibbling. I walked the runaway to the private airport doors trying to remember why I can't just kill her."Ok, enough. I missed you too... but get off me!" I tried sounding nice. I knew I didn't though. I set her down and Daniel was by my side shaking his head. Elise didn't look amused like she use to when I was being tortured. She gave me a half smile and then walked ahead. Daniel knew something had changed between us but he knew better then to question me. I helped my Nanny and Elise get into one of the four black SUVs that waited for us. Fernando practically owned this co

Ethan POVAlley left the other morning for her therapy appointment, but never returned. She always comes straight back home to complain how the doctor makes her think too much. It had been hectic in our house with Layla and the twins I didn't think much about it until a few hours went by. I had called her several times with no response and then worry set in. Her therapist had already confirmed she came and left. I checked the hospital and local roadway authorities for any auto accidents. Then her doctor called me back to tell me her car was still in the garage.At that moment I knew she was gone. Someone took her and it was someone connected to Ace. That bastard knew he was dabbling in dangerous bullshit yet still came here to see her, and for what? To yell at her? choke her? I never seen two people more perfect for each other yet so wrong for each other then Alley and Ace. I was done with him for good this time though. He should had never stepped foot here and put her in this danger
