ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 14
Ace’s POV“What exactly did you say happened? Dr. Titus has already informed me, but I'd like to hear it from you." Once Luis and I arrived at the reception desk, the designated doctor inquired.Luis stomped with his right foot, then bit the inside of his lower lip, his hands deep in his pockets. He flashed a glimpse at me. There was no way out, I heaved. If I changed the story, an investigation would have to be opened, which is the last thing I need right now.Sighing,"A threesome, doctor." "And she hit the wall," Luis said firmly, as if it were fact.“So, who is the actual husband?" The doctor went on. I simply wanted him to stop because I was losing my poise."It's an open marriage; details don't matter." Just make sure she's all right." My brother is such a brilliant liar, it's no surprise he's an excellent lawyer. At the very least, he has his own career. Unlike me, who devotes my time to gangsterism and abuse. I'm living my life for the benefit of my stepfather.To honor my r
ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 15
Ace’s POV"She's in a coma," the doctor said, his attention shifting from me to Luis."What do you mean, doctor?" my heart sank, my eyes widened. "No, don't be afraid. It's nothing. It's a coma that has been medically induced. This sort of transient coma, or deep state of unconsciousness, is induced after an accident to protect the brain from swelling and allow the body to recuperate. The patient is given a controlled dose of an anaesthetic, resulting in a loss of feeling or awareness. We'll keep a watch on her vitals." He elaborated. "But why?" Was an induced coma needed, doctor?" For the first time since the doctor left the OT room, Luis uttered.“Yes. The intensity at which she hit the wall was high. It feels as though…there was a push.” I should have taken her to my doctor instead. But I obliged with my brother's demands. Now, if this doctor becomes invested in this, it may potentially reach the police. I'm not afraid of them; I just try to avoid getting into problems because o
ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 16
Ace’s POV I staggered and slipped as my father pulled me up the stairs to his room by my hand. Not the one he shares with mother, the one he has to himself; the bed he sleeps in after arguments with mother and a desire to give each other space. We just stood at the door whenever he asked for something from us; none of us ever went inside.I have to admit that being dragged felt unusual for my body, and I misjudged his strength. I now understood how Angel felt whenever I dragged her, given she is physically weaker than I am. And, oh! That's when it dawned on me that I hadn’t informed him that she was in a coma. He unlocked the door and kicked it open violently. The way he forced me into the dark room made me feel helpless. I didn't feel like Ace Kingston being pushed around like that. Lights flashed on, blinding me. I looked around, and I quickly saw why he never let any of us go. I didn't want to be there any longer. I knew he was sick and cruel, but I never expected him to be
ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 17
Sarah’s POVAs soon I got off a call with Luis, informing me Angel was in the hospital, I hopped into my car and drove as fast as I could. I didn't realize I cared that much about her until today. She's always been someone I pitied but never have I thought I'd go to those extents for.I arrived at the hospital reception area where Luis was sitting, waiting. He spotted me and came up to me while I was still conversing with the receptionist.“Sarah, you made it!” He mumbled from behind. His voice in a hopeless tone.“Yeah! Where is that one?” I grumbled, looking around behind him for any signs of Ace. Luis sighed and threw his hands in the air. “He left. He had to meet with father. I just don't know how it's going to go, and I doubt it's even about Angel in the first place. He looked worried since a few days.”“Yeah!” I whispered under my breath, my gaze peeping into his. I could tell he was fighting really heavy emotions.“How do you feel? I know you like her,” I said, forcing a smil
ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 18
Sarah's POVAll I remember seeing before hitting the sofa with my stomach, and spitting blood, was Ace’s red face. I thought I was seeing the devil, except it was my brother. The brother I'd cherished the rest of my childhood. The brother I helped with maths homeworks and defended at school when everyone bullied him. I never considered him a step brother, but just a brother in need of a big sister to give maternal love to when Lulu was busy having brunch everyday.And today this is how he repays me. I felt my eyes well up, and I let it all out. Within a few seconds my face was covered in water. I remembered Luis was here with me. In so much pain, I forced myself up and pivoted to where I was standing earlier. I grasped for air.It seemed as though Luis wanted to hit Ace’s face with a fist, but the latter was blocking it with his palm so effortlessly. Like in the movies.Luis must have pushed me when Ace wanted to hit me, and because of that I hit the sofa and got hurt. But I can't b
ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 19
Luis' POVWithin less than a minute, the doctor came in running. “Mr Kingston?” He uttered as he paced up to us.Sharon retrieved her ID card and put it on his face, startling him.“Detective Sharon, FBI. This is my friend, attorney general Luis Kingston. We want Angel Jackie-Kingston discharged now, to assist in further investigations by the police. We have a discharge warrant with us,” she took out a folded paper from her pocket and presented it.The doctor ran his eyes through the paper and swallowed hard. “You know she's in a coma, right? Do you have a doctor organised to take care of her during your investigation? She's your client but she's my patient, and I have to make sure she's going to be alright,” he said, nodding, shifting his focus from Sharon to me. “Yes Doctor. We appreciate your concern for your patient. It shows nothing but diligence and your well-deserved trustworthiness. But we assure you, all is taken care of. It's all written in the paper you're holding.” Shar

Sarah's POV"Ma'am, we'll have to sedate you in order to safely retrieve the embryo." "It can't stay any longer or you'll be poisoned in this state," the doctor whispered, breaking my heart. My body began to heat up as my heart began to pound. I felt a lump on my throat. It was so painful.I was afraid I'd die from a broken heart. Garry, my husband, has been holding my hand since he came. The last time I saw him sob inconsolably was when we miscarried our twins two years ago. Sometimes I feel as if I wasn't meant to experience the joys of parenthood in this life. My mother and father arrived unexpectedly. They were the last people I anticipated seeing. Who told them, after all? Luis is definitely in trouble!"Sarah!" my mother mumbled as she reached for my hand. Her eyes had already welled up with tears. I despised her act at every turn. I snuffed and yanked my hand from of her grip. "Mother, what are you doing here?" She brushed away a tear on her face. "I'm really sorry, bab
ACE AND ANGEL Chapter 21
Ace's POVWe landed safely at the airstrip.It was 5:05am. The clouds were heavily pregnant and it was apparent it’d rain heavily in a few minutes if not seconds.I put on my hat and my opaque sunglasses, and walked down the staircase, carrying my suitcase in my hand. The cool but strong breeze blew my black knee length coat ,dramatically. As soon as I stepped down, one guy in a black suit came running to help me with my not so heavy suitcase, and led the way to the cars. Marco was standing steadily beside three cars, his hands held together in front, waiting for me.He motioned for the charioteer to open the car door for me, before bowing his head to greet me.“Boss!” He mumbled, tilting to clear yhe way for me.“Marco, did you find the address?” I shot straight to the point, as I boarded the black G-Wagon. “Yes, Boss! It's a fifteen minutes drive from here.” Marco muttered as he sat beside me and reached out his hand to close the door before the charioteer could.He's always been
