ONE WEEK LATER Ace opened his eyes and surveyed the room he was lying in. It was a hotel room, and he immediately recognized it as his own private hotel that was not open to the public. Only Black Axe knew about this place, so the fact that he was here meant that Black Axe had brought him here. He recollected what had transpired—he was shot but he fell into the water. Just before he lost consciousness, Black Axe pulled him out and took him away. He recalled that Gina and her men had been pursuing Ava. Ignoring his pain, he sat upright and began to sweat profusely, "Ava, what must have happened to Ava?"At that moment, Black Axe entered the room and happily said, "Boss, you have opened your eyes." "What about Ava?" Ace desperately inquired. "She survived," Black Axe replied. A sigh of relief escaped Ace's lips. "Thank you, thank you so much, Axe." He laid back on the bed and asked, "What happened? How did she survive?""Well, her police officer friend, Richard, came to her rescu
Ace smiled at Ava, "Hello, princess."She ran to the bed and hugged him as she cried."It's okay," he said. "I'm sorry, baby." Black Axe opened the door and walked in at that point. Ace looked at him with eyes that said, "I asked you not to do this, so why did you do it?" Black Axe smiled, "I'm sorry, boss. I know you wanted to protect Ava, but I had to do this for both of you. I couldn't see her being so miserable, and I also need you to get well as soon as possible. I know that having Ava here will achieve that. Please forgive me. I will take whatever punishment you give." Ace smiled. "As if.....I guess you know me better than I know myself, and you know what's best for me. Thank you, Black Axe. Thank you very much."Black Axe nodded and turned to leave, but Ava got up and said, "Hold on Black Axe. Thank you so much. I wish there was a way I can repay you for everything." "Just make Ace happy, that's all I ask." After Black Axe left, Ava went back to the bed and hugged Ace, "Oh
TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS LATERAndre drove over to Sky Hills with his best friend and most trusted underling. They sat in his car, waiting. After a while, he looked at his time and then his best friend, Drew, and asked, "Are you certain that Bull will be here?""Of course, I would never lie to you," Drew replied. "He has bitten off more than he can chew, and this is the best opportunity. He should know that he doesn't stand a chance against the leader of the Black Scorpions. He is nothing before you."Andre nodded. "Yeah, today is the day he gets to say goodbye to this world. But what about backup?""They were waiting at the agreed location but they will be arriving very soon."While Andre and Drew were still waiting in the car, Andre noticed other men arriving in different cars with the Black Scorpion logo on their number plates. He smiled, "Good, backup is here." The words had barely left his mouth when they all began to shoot at his car."What is going on?" he exclaimed, looking at Dre
Valerie woke up in the morning and looked at the time. Today was the day she had been waiting for—the day the result of her interview would arrive. She got up and met her elder brother, Julius, who was in the living room."Good morning, Julius," she greeted him."Morning, darling," he replied.She sat on the couch sadly. "What is the problem?" he asked."Well, the result will be coming in today. I'm just so anxious and afraid," Valerie explained."Why? Come on, you graduated as one of the best in your college. Besides, you aced your interview," Julius reassured her."That's what they said," Valerie replied, "but I heard that people who get jobs in that hospital are highly connected. Although it has always been my dream to work at 'Best Diagnostics', I'm afraid it's not just about qualifications and skills."Julius comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, listen to me, my dear sister. Just do your best and everything will work out in your favor.""I hope so," Valerie replied. "It should arr
When the quarterly gang meeting ended, Ace took hold of Ava's hand and left the venue.His father had already returned to the Black Scorpions mansion and was waiting for him. With Black Axe as their driver, Ava and Ace got into the car and went to the mansion.As they made their way into the house, all the gang members came out and bowed before Ace. He looked at them one after the other and saw those who were responsible for the fights within the gang. The expressions on their faces already showed that they were guilty as they carried nothing but fear.Ace nodded at them all and whispered a few words into the ears of Black Axe who was by his side before leading Ava into the mansion.His father was waiting for him in his private room and Ace headed right there with Ava in his hand.When he got to the door, the gang member who was guarding it bowed and said, "I'm sorry Scorpion but she's not allowed to enter.""It's fine. I'll just wait for you outside." Ava said but Ace wasn't having it
Ava and Eve clinked their glasses and squealed in excitement before downing their drinks in one go.Their loud noises attracted the attention of the people around them at the club. All kinds could be found there, thugs, criminals, whores, and so on.Both twenty-one, they had made a pact with each other that after their final exams, they will both take the risk of partying at The Fantasy Club which was rumored to be dangerous.Ava's phone soon began to ring. She took it out of her pocket and when she saw the caller, said, "shoot, it's Damon. If he knows I'm at The Fantasy Club, he will go bananas."She handed her glass which she had just refilled to Evelyn, "look after this for me, I'll just go out and take this call. You know how jealous Damon can be."Eve accepted the glass of beer and nodded while Ava hurried out of the club to take her boyfriend's call. When she got to the exit door, however, she paused. She realized that Damon would want to find out where she was and if she lied
Ace had never been one to show interest in women. He barely gave them the time of day as he grew up believing that women were betrayers and gold diggers. He was someone who didn't believe in giving people second chances and the idea of killing women did not appeal to him so he avoided them like a plague, of course, there were exceptions for those who tried to harm him but he generally saw women as unnecessarily evil.However, as he stood, watching Ava from the top of the stairs, he was reminded of his college days when he fucked any woman that caught his attention until the one he trusted, betrayed him.That was more than ten years ago and he had since buried any desire or cravings he ever had for women. Somehow, the young girl dancing in front of him had ignited those desires. He suddenly wanted to have her under him, screaming out his name.He could tell that she wasn't a stripper or a whore, they were always easily noticeable due to their heavy makeup but this girl was different.
Ace pulled Ava up after a few minutes and said, "if you don't stop, for now, we won't be able to get home, so just hold it to enable me to drive."Ava went back to stroking his length while Ace drove off at full speed. His men followed behind him and Ace noticed that despite being kept busy, Ava was still squirming.He wanted to know more about her, why she was at the club, and who spiked her drink. Considering his position that was just a piece of cake, however, there were more pressing things for him to do and they all ended with Ava being under him.He occasionally slowed down to catch his breath. He was breathing fast as Ava was stroking his length, it felt so good.He finally drove into his estate and heaved a sigh of relief. They had both made it in one piece. The moment he parked his car, he zipped up his pants, quickly helped her wear her top once again, and opened the door.He turned to the other side of the car, pulled her out, and carried her over his shoulders as he ran in
