HEARTBEAT Chapter 22. Don't worry darling
ACE SHE DREAMS AGAIN I watch her from the camera feed, she frowns, and I only get alarmed, standing to my feet in a hurry when she screams my name. I have never considered my office so far as I do at this moment, I wish I didn't leave her on the bed alone, I wish I could sleep beside her and hold her instead of watching her sleep from a fucking live feed like a coward. But I know I would hurt her if I didn't. Even a strong man like me has fears, I lose control when I sleep off, I didn't have troubles with that before, but now that I know I have someone as precious as Aella, I would never be able to forgive myself if I hurt her when I am vulnerable. I meet Dan at the door, he has a panicked look on his face too. He must have heard her screams too. I wave him away as I reach the room with a hitched breath. The sight I meet kills me. She is on the extreme side of the bed, her body curved in a ball. I know she is crying. She look
HEARTBEAT Chapter 23. Aella is gone
ACE I gave her a new phone. she doesn't know that I installed a tracking device in it. I want to know where she is at any time of the day. "What about my other phone?" "This is safer," I speak. "Thank you." I don't know how to deal with her emotions, so I just smile. I pick up a short flowery dress, a bra and undies, handing them over to her. I don't miss the smirk on her face. "When did you have the time to do all this?" She inquires, dressing. "I had Sarah bring them in." she stops dressing, frowning at me. "You know I don't like that bitch." "I know, that is why I made sure you didn't see her." I massage the back of my neck, trying to calm the headache brewing. "For heaven's sake, stop swearing Aella." She follows me outside quietly, biting her lips which she is probably imagining as my ear. Amanda isn't in the kitchen when we get there, I guess she desperately wanted to avoid another epis
HEARTBEAT Chapter 24. Typical Ace
AELLAThe nerve! I sniff, forcing my tears back. I wish I were stronger, then I would have stabbed him deeper, and he would have bled more. Who does he think he is? ordering me around and making decisions for me. I would accept everything; I can take it with a frown, but he has no right to force a child on me.A baby, how can someone as broken as me carry an innocent child in her womb? Mama would be turning in her Grave, praying I become barren, and my breast become as dry as the dessert. Mama made sure I prayed every night, begging God to close my womb so I don't end up bringing another abomination, another sin into this world.I stare at the door for a long time, fisting the fork in my hands, willing him to open the door so I could stab his neck instead. He doesn't of course, I know he is gone. I almost sit back down to finish my food, but I go back to the bedroom instead. I will scream the roof down if he tries to spank me when he comes back home.I move to the closet where my new
HEARTBEAT Chapter 25. Deadly night
AELLA I am sandwiched between the two men, Dan on my right, and Lucas on my left. I know they are with guns, and I laugh in my throat thinking about how I have moved from a plain girl to a girl important people want dead. I move to run to Eva when I see her, but Lucas holds my wrist, dropping his hand immediately like I might burn him. The fear of Ace is the beginning of wisdom. "Can you please not move further than five feet?" I swallow my sassy comment when Eva pulls me into a tight hug. She has always been a hugger, it makes me uncomfortable, but with Ace, I am always so happy that I never want to let go. I can't even go a minute without thinking of him. "You smell so rich!" she splatters kisses all over my face, ignoring the small crowd gathering at our back. "You also look rich. Is that Louis Vuitton? get out, I have been saving since last year for this cardigan. It is from their latest collection." I laugh. I knew they were expensive. She lets
HEARTBEAT Chapter 26. REGRETS?
AELLA I start regretting my decision when Jacob drops us off at Eva's house. I frown disgusted when they start kissing nosily and fondling each other like desperate schoolchildren. "Don't wait up, I will call you immediately after we are done. We, girls, take time cleaning up but for you?" She touches his nose playfully. "I will take extra time to clean up this lady's garden for you. I know you like eating me because I am your favorite taste in the world." The fuck Eva? How does she get all nasty with boys and not turn red? I can't even get naked in front of Ace without feeling shy. Speaking of Ace, I am sure he is going out of his mind looking for me right now. Jacob fondles her breast, using his other hand to grab her buttocks. "We could go inside together, let me show you how much I love your taste." Okay, that is it. "Really guys? I am standing right here." Eva pecks him, freeing herself from his embrace. "I will call you baby. You can show me
HEARTBEAT Chapter 27. There is no such thing as love
AELLA The article spoke of his success as a young entrepreneur, his involvement in various industries, and his immense wealth. He founded his company Hale Enterprise at the young age of twenty-one and made his first billion a few months later, making him one of the wealthiest businessmen in the world and a prominent philanthropist. I continue reading intrigued by his successful career. I discovered he is just twenty-eight and recorded in Forbes as one of the richest men below thirty. He also owns different clubs, hotels, and houses around the world. I Stare at Eva shocked, finally understanding her reaction. "I think the man is a freaking billionaire." "I think he is." I knew he had money, but surely not this kind of money. I clicked on the first article and I immediately regretted my decision when I started reading. The headline read 'ELIGIBLE BACHELOR AND HOLLYWOOD PRINCESS' They looked cosy in the pictures which made me very mad. She was
HEARTBEAT Chapter 28. You should never have left me.
AELLA I have never seen Ace this angry before. His tie is loose and his hair rough like he had run his hands through it. He looks tired but that doesn't stop him from looking all sexy. I finally realize myself when John groans in pain because of Ace's death grip on his hair. "Ace, what are you doing here?" seriously Aella, of all the things you could have said right now, you had to settle for that? He ignores my question. "Wait for me in the car." "Ace," I say wincing when he pushes John's hand to the back, twisting it until I hear the loud crack of a bone. "Fuck, Fuck man. You are going to kill me." John starts screaming "Someone call the fucking cops." Eva moves to Ace's front, and I hold her hand, she gets the memo and holds her tongue. Angry Ace is not one to play with. "Ace?" Please look at me. when he finally does, I breathe in relived. "I would never have let him kiss me." He doesn't believe me. "I said to wait for me in the car A
HEARTBEAT Chapter 29. No one else
AELLA I wince in pain, but I don't fight his tight hold on me. I wanted to ask him if he was okay, I wanted to ask him if John was fine. I don't know if he had hit him again, because I was forced to leave the club and return to the limousine.But I couldn't I didn't know if he would take the questions the wrong way and assume my concern for John meant more than it did. His face was impassive, his mouth set in a thin line. "What is he to you Aella?" "Nothing, I don't feel anything for him." "You always let people you don't feel anything for touch you like that?" "No" I wiped at the tears streaming down my face. "I was going to push him off me." "Do you want him? Are you kneeling beside me right now and hoping it was him instead." "No, Ace, No." why would he think something like that? I want only him. I need only him and no one else. "He touched you." He says in disgust. "He had his hands on you."
