Ava woke up earlier than she would have loved to. She had a splitting headache for which she found relief only after taking some painkillers. She thought about everything that happened last night. She could not recall every single detail, but she knew that someone had brought her back home, and it wasn't Ace. She realized that what she did that night was foolish and risky. Love could really make a person foolish. She never stopped to consider the fact that Ace might not be at the club. She just assumed he would be there and ended up going to the very place where all her problems began.As she sat in her room for a while in a daze, she told herself that she had to find a way to get through to Ace. She needed a much better way, and her best bet was Richard. He was the only one who had Ace's contact number. Of course, she couldn't go to Damon because he would never give it to her. She also knew Richard would be hurt if she asked him, but she didn't have any other option. If she did, s
Ava woke up very early just as she did the previous day and hurried to Richard's house, hoping to catch him before he left for work. After all the things Eve said to her yesterday, she had gone back home and burnt all their pictures together as well as anything in her house which was a gift from Evelyn. She knocked on Richard's door and heaved a sigh of relief when he said, "Hold on." He opened the door and stared at Ava in surprise for a while before asking, "So, where is your beloved Ace?"Ava was surprised as she had no idea that Richard had discovered her feelings for Ace. "You knew?""I saw you when I came to your house" Richard replied. "Your door was unlocked and I saw the both of you kissing."Ava lowered her head, "I am very sorry, Richard. I had no idea that....." "It's fine," Richard interrupted her. "It's your choice, Ava. So where is Ace?" Ava felt embarrassed but she knew that she couldn't lie to Richard. "Ace left me.I know it's my choice but still, I am very sorr
Gina thought about different ways to get rid of Ava without Ace finding out that she did it. She couldn't take the risk of them meeting again as she feared that Ace would change his mind about their marriage once he saw Ava.She finally settled on an idea and felt very happy because this plan was foolproof. Later in the evening when she had gathered all the information she needed, Gina called the Leader of the Wild Cats Mafia Gang whom she knew was now Ace's sworn enemy. When he answered the phone she said "Hi, I know that you have been looking for an opportunity to hurt Scorpion back for taking away your only son from this world."The Leader of the Wild Cats knew without a doubt who Gina was so he was very much interested in the conversation. Gina went ahead to say "The woman whom Scorpion loves more than his own life is presently in Bangkok as we speak and she would be coming to Scorpion's main mansion first thing tomorrow morning. I can tell you the address if you don't really kn
Ace got into one of the rooms in his safe house, took out an iPad from a box, and turned it on. He quickly typed in his password and clicked on an icon. He typed in some numbers and suddenly a blue dot appeared. After seeing what he wanted, he took the iPad and quickly left the safe house.As he made his way to one of his private houses where he had asked his underlings to wait for him, he thought back to the day he had put a tracker inside Ava's body.After she was shot and he decided to let her go, he feared that some of his enemies might try to go after her just to get to him. She had been unconscious when he made the decision to inject a tracker into her body. Now he was very glad he had done so.What he wondered though was why she was in a warehouse. He had checked the location and realized that there were no residential buildings around which meant that someone was keeping her there.But if it was his enemy, the person should have called him and asked for whatever he wanted, o
Ace waited while Black Axe went out and came back with the man's phone. Ace handed the Leader of the Wild Cats' phone to him and ordered, "Play the recorded call."The man quickly searched for the file with shivering hands and tapped on 'play' before handing the phone back to Ace who sat back down and listened to the conversation between Gina and the Leader of the Wild Cats. When the audio stopped playing, he dropped the phone and got up once again.As Ace picked up the sword again and approached the Leader of the Wild Cats, the man became hysterical and tried to get up but Black Axe placed his hands on the man's shoulders and refused to let him move. He began to beg for his life,"Please don't kill me, I'm begging you. I made a big mistake. It was Gina, she was the one who called me, please have mercy."Ace scoffed, "Did you have mercy on Ava? I've seen the scar on her face. You dare put your filthy hands on my girl and still ask for mercy?Even when you orchestrated an attack on my
As Ava slept, she found herself back at the warehouse where she was tied up. She was very hungry and thirsty and also needed to poop.It was late in the night and the room was pitch dark. She couldn't see anything but she believed there was someone outside the locked door.She pleaded, "Please help me, I need to use the bathroom. Please I'm very hungry and thirsty, I beg you, please help me.I know you can hear me, please at least just let me use the bathroom."She kept begging for hours but got no reply. Eventually, she became exhausted. Her voice was the only sound she could hear and she was afraid but her most pressing problem was her need to use the bathroom.She struggled for a while as beads of sweat covered her forehead. Soon, she could not hold out any more and pooped on herself. She began to cry and continued begging for help but no one answered her.Ava opened her eyes and started to cry, she calmed down after a while when she recalled that Ace had rescued her. She really wi
Gina arrived at the Black Scorpions mansion and went in to see Ace's dad. He was surprised to see her because the plan was that she would come together with Ace a few days before the wedding.Looking at her countenance, he could tell that something was wrong. One of the reasons why he liked Gina was because she was not only smart but she was strong.He knew she was a perfect match for Ace since she could be ruthless like him when she wanted. He felt that Ace was too calm like his mother was. He needed someone like Gina so the children they would have in the future won't turn out to be weaklings.Whenever Gina looked distressed like she did now, he knew that Ace was involved. So, he sent all his men away and asked her to tell him what the problem was. "Scorpion has called off the wedding" Gina cried "and this time, he really means it. He said that the alliance between the Black Scorpions and the Fierce Pythons has ended and he is even ready for war if my dad wants it."Felix got up fr
Ava and Ace were in the kitchen cooking and it made him very happy as it reminded him of their time at his safe house.Since she had insisted on cooking for him, he decided to be her assistant chef. Ava asked him to hold the bowl which contained the ripe plantain she had sliced while she picked them and carefully placed them inside the oil which was boiling.They heard sounds and voices of people and Ava felt they belonged to Ace's underlings. Ace excused himself and told Ava to carry on while he attended to the people in the living room.When she was done frying the plantain, Ava served it beside the egg sauce she had earlier made and came out with the tray of food.She was surprised at the sight that greeted her. There were about three men and seven ladies and they each displayed different brands of designer clothes while smiling at her.Ava stared at Ace who stood by the door grinning from ear to ear and finally said, "Surprise!! Well, these are outfits for the activities on your b
