Ace's underlings searched frantically for him all over but couldn't find him. Felix was the most worried. He regretted working with Gina to go after Ava. If he had known that it would turn out this way, he never would have made such plans against her.Ace was his pride and strongest support. If he lost him, he would never be able to recover from the pain. Although he had another son from a different woman, he knew that he wasn't as capable as Ace.He wondered what spell Ava had cast on his son that made him disregard his own life and get into a car with faulty brakes. He didn't raise him to be controlled by women and Ace wasn't like this in the past. This new character he had developed was simply embarrassing, to say the least.Gina finally opened her eyes back in her mansion. The doctor told her to rest but she got up and asked the underling who had saved her, "any news on Scorpion?"He shook his head, "none, for now, boss. I checked the car though but could not find any bodies so th
Black Axe wanted to ask Ace where he was but thought better of it. If Ace wanted them to know, he would have said it already.He informed the other gang members and together they left the area and went back to the Black Scorpions' mansion.When they got back home. Black Axe informed Felix that Ace was injured and hiding out in a safe place but this did not sit well with him."Why did you not bring him back here?" He asked angrily. "You know that this is the safest place for him. Now that he is injured and all alone, he is an easy target. How will he protect himself if he comes under any attack from our enemies?"Black Axe shook his head and replied. "Scorpion didn't tell me where he is. I don't exactly know why he chose not to come back here but I'm guessing that after what happened here in his absence, he doesn't trust us anymore.""So this is all because of that worthless girl? I wonder what Scorpion sees in her." After speaking, Felix angrily went into his room and shut his door.A
Ava began to blush and said, "I don't believe your situation is that critical, Scorpion." Ace laughed and after a while asked her, "what was your childhood like?"Ava kept silent for a while as she tried to recollect the events of the past. "Well, my childhood was fun. My parents were very sweet and loving to me, I was their world and I had nice friends too.I didn't get to enjoy my dad's company for much longer because he died while I was still little but I do have fond memories of him. My mum joined him a few months later but it was strange because they both died in the same way.It was very difficult for me but I came to terms with it. The friends who were nice to me while growing up, changed and I had to learn the hard way that you can't really trust your friends.What about you, Ace?" She asked him. "What was your childhood like?""It was nothing to write home about." Ace replied. "I have a few memories of my mum and how kind she was but she didn't live for so long either. After
After leaving the Black Scorpion mansion, Ace drove Ava to the venue of the gang meeting. When he opened the door of the car for her, Ava stared at him with fear in her eyes. He smiled warmly and assured her, "Do not be afraid, Ava, trust me. When I'm by your side, no one can harm you."Ava sighed, "But is it okay for me to be there? You said yourself that it's a meeting for all the gang leaders. You are the gang leader, why not go ahead? I don't have the right to be there.""You are my girl, that earns you the right to be there," Ace replied. "But Gina would eventually arrive, wouldn't she?" Ava asked. Ace sighed, "Why are you bothered about Gina? I am the one taking you there, so do not worry. Come on, take my hand, and let's go in."Ava finally came out of the car, held Ace's hand, and together they went into the building. Just as she had envisioned, there were different kinds of criminals gathered in the house, but she held onto Ace's hand as she believed he would keep his promi
Ace stared at Niel with so much fear in his eyes. He knew Niel came with Richard but he didn't know who he was or what his motive was. He had a feeling that if he gave him his gun, Niel was going to kill him. He stared at Ava and saw that she was crying. He wished he was standing much closer to Niel but from where he was, if he tried anything funny, Niel was going to kill Ava.Since he accepted this life, he knew that a day like this was going to come. He would never be able to forgive himself if something bad were to happen to Ava. He slowly dropped his gun on the floor and kicked it toward Niel. The latter picked up the gun, pushed Ava to the opposite side, and still pointed his gun at her.Ace wanted to move towards Ava who was frightened but Niel warned, "Don't move."Ace stared at him angrily and said, "You already got my gun so stop pointing your gun at Ava. If you have something against me, then go ahead and take it out with me.Niel smiled and replied, "I need you to experie
Ava asked Damon if she was out the whole month and he said she kept waking up and falling back asleep. She wanted to ask him if Ace had reached out to find out if she was okay but she realized it was a stupid question and kept it to herself.Richard arrived a few minutes later and was so happy to see her. He hugged her and told her about everything that happened in detail up until she woke up. She was hoping she would get some useful information about Ace but Richard barely mentioned him.In the weeks that followed, Ava kept staying in Damon's house while he took care of her. However, it was no longer the same. She felt as though she was in the wrong place and after two weeks, she insisted that she wanted to go back home.Damon did everything possible to convince her to stay but Ava insisted on going back, saying she missed her house and her cat.Left with no other choice, Damon informed Richard and together they drove Ava back to her house. Before she went into the house, Richard sai
Ava cried herself to sleep but woke up when she heard a knock on her door. She opened the door and saw Damon. She let him into her house before shutting the door. "It's been a while since I was inside here," he said as he sat on a chair.Ava smiled at him, "I still have drinks in my fridge, what would you like to drink?"Damon got up from his seat and went closer to Ava who was standing. After making her sit down, he sat closer to her and took her hands in his. "My love, forget about that for now. There's so much we need to talk about.I understand why you wanted to come back home. Perhaps being here might help you move on easier, so it's fine. Ava, I know I've made mistakes in the past. I doubted you and I'm sorry about that. I love you so much and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. You are already aware that you are the only girl in my heart, so please tell me, is it the same for you? Am I the only man in your heart? Do you still love me as much as I love you?"Tears b
Ava slept for a few hours because she hadn't been able to get a good sleep ever since she heard that Ace gave her up. When she finally opened her eyes, she realized that Ace was not on the bed.At first, she thought that he was in the bathroom or toilet so she stretched her body and lay happily on the bed feeling satisfied with the way he had fucked her. After a while, she realized that the bathroom was too quiet and got up to check on him.When she opened the door and realized he wasn't there, she became worried. she looked around the room and noticed that not one of his belongings was on the floor or bed.She quickly opened the door and got out of the room, however, she saw that there was a piece of paper plastered on her door and it wasn't there when she cleaned her room earlier.She took out the piece of paper and read the contents with her hand shaking. It read;"My beloved princess, I am very sorry that I am walking away from you in this manner. I know I said that only death wou
