HEARTBEAT Chapter 74: Invisible god
ACE My men have all assembled themselves at the warehouse. I frown when I see Ryan too. I desperately want to punch his teeth and watch him bleed, but that would also mean wasting more time, and Aella doesn't have time. "Any luck in finding Hugo?" I ask Ryker. He looks stressed like he had just been dragged out of bed. When Ryan told me they had cars chasing after Aella, I immediately concluded that it was Zade. Only Zade has that much authority to plan a kidnap in broad daylight. "No" He replies, stifling a yawn. I feel so bad that I have to do this, drag him away from his family when they equally need him. "Thank you for always showing up Ryker." I mean it. "Never thank me, Ace. Aella is family."I nod in response. I will forever be grateful to him. "Ace?" I don't know why, but I immediately adjust my tie when Rebecca walks in with Jake. "I am sorry we had to cut your class short." "No...I... okay." She starts twisting her fingers nervously, avoiding my eyes. "Thank y
HEARTBEAT Chapter 75: ONE LIE AND TRUTHS
ACE His eyes widen in shock and I smirk. They are not so smart after all. His first mistake was assuming that he could never be found. Ryker drags a chair closer to Hugo, nudging him to sit down. He growled but finally sat down when I pointed my gun at him. "What do you want from me." "So bold of you to ask me that Hugo.""My son?" I know a scared man when I see one, and judging from the conversation I just overheard, this man loves his son more than anything. He doesn't have to know that his son is on his way to see Rebecca. "I don't have any business with him, I am here for you. He is going to be safe as long as you don't waste my time." "Are you not a coward Ace, using my son against me, instead of coming unto me like a real man? How did you find me?" I sigh, cracking my neck. "I will do the asking Hugo. And you know I am no coward, but I have no pride when it comes to my woman. I know Zade has her." "Then go find Zade yourself." His mouth would be the death of hi
HEARTBEAT Chapter 76: My Lover and My Killer
AELLA I don't know how long I have been held here. I have lost track of time. What I do know for sure is that I have slept, cried, and thrown up until I felt like I was going to vomit my intestine, or worse my baby. I have decided to embrace the positive side of things. Zade said I bled because they took out the trackers in me, I didn't bleed because I might have had a miscarriage. I miss Ace and Eva; I want to eat Amanda's pasta. I hope Dan and Eva are alive, I blacked out in the car, so I don't remember much. I force my eyes open, the brightness in the room makes me want to cry and scream. But I don't, I fear what Zade would do to me when he comes in again. I have had nothing to eat, except two glasses of water. And I smell of my vomit and blood. My eyes fall on Rose's picture. If I could paint, I would paint every detail of her with my eyes closed. I will never forget her smile, the little freckles on her cheek, her red straight hair, or her green eyes. I have been haunted
HEARTBEAT Chapter 77: Perfect little human
ACE I fill up my glass again, shaking my legs impatiently. I want to go back to Aella, I want to hold her in my arms until I am convinced that she is fine, that she is safe and pregnant... The thought of having a tiny human growing inside her makes me so happy. "You can see him now." I wave my men off when they attempt to stand with me. I want to see Zade alone. In my attempt to stop him from hurting Aella, I shot him in the shoulder. I don't bother knocking on the door before entering. He is expecting me. "Are you planning on keeping me in here? So bad you have no one to send my head to Ace, you are a smart man, you know the organization will come for you soon." "I don't plan on imprisoning you Zade. Guess what? I plan on letting you go immediately after this conversation. Your men are right outside this door." "I would not apologize for trying to kill her, you will be a crazy man if you decide to let me go. I will never stop Ace, I will come back stronger and better, an
HEARTBEAT Chapter 78: There is something called Fate
AELLA "Aella" I expect him to raise his voice, I expect him to walk out on me and promise never to see me again, that is why I start crying when he runs to hug me. "I would never have gone through with it Ace. I am so sorry." I start talking, desperate for him to understand me. "I was hurt and confused Ace, I was so scared, I felt I didn't deserve to be a mother, I wanted to hurt you." "I know" "I didn't mean any of the things I said to you. I don't hate you; I don't detest the fact that this baby is yours." I pull away from his embrace so I can see his face. "I love you, Ace. Thank you for finding me." "I am sorry Aella." I close my eyes, pushing down more tears when he touches my hair. "I had no right to force this on you, I am sorry for never considering your feelings. Teach me how to love you, baby, teach me how to please you. I want to be the only man that makes you smile, the only thing that keeps you happy." "You make me happy." How can he not see that? "Why did
HEARTBEAT Chapter 79: Grumpy Aella
AELLA He left. I am so mad at Ace. He promised we were going to make love in the morning, he tricked me, lied to me, and then didn't keep his promise. I quickly take a shower, dressing in one of Ace's expensive black shirts and briefs. I don't bother with a bra. I slam the bedroom door shut; I mean how else is anyone supposed to know how pissed I am. I ignore Dan at the door. He looks so much better now; I remember how I had cried my eyes out when he woke up from his coma two days after I was discharged from the hospital. We have not all gotten over Lucas's death, most nights, I have nightmares about it, and I am most grateful for Ace who rocks me back to sleep. I immediately smell Amanda's cooking before I get to the kitchen. "Thank you for gracing us with your presence Aella. You slept well?" She asked me smiling. I nod instead of speaking. She frowns but doesn't comment. "Where is Ace?" One of the many men that now guards our home responds. "At the office." I
HEARTBEAT Chapter 80: Perfection
AELLAWho knew taking a coat with me would be a good idea? Imagine if I didn't and had to walk into this large building with my slutty dress that hardly covered my boobs. I try not to worry about the six bodyguards beside me, shielding me like someone might attack me at any moment. As I approached the grand entrance, my heart quickened with a mix of trepidation and excitement. The marble floors gleamed under the soft glow of chandeliers, casting a warm aura over the opulent surroundings. This office building was more than just a structure of concrete and glass. Every colour and structure had a touch of Ace in it, bold and dominating. I smile awkwardly as I pass his staff. I tighten the rope of my coat shyly; they would all have a heart attack if they caught a glimpse of what I had on in broad daylight. Jake gently nudges me into the elevator, and I frown when my six bodyguards follow us in. Would they stay with us in the Ace office? His office is so much different from that o
HEARTBEAT Chapter 81: Burning! Burning!
ACE "So, you are trying to tell me that Zade was telling the truth." I scratch my head, closing my eyes in exhaustion. I haven't slept properly in weeks. I am scared for Aella's life. Someone wants to harm her, and it kills me that I don't know who. After letting Zade go, I told my men to monitor him, I didn't believe that he had anything to do with any of the threats against Aella's life, it turns out he wasn't lying to me. "Whoever this is, they are calculated and know what they are doing." If Jake with all his experiences says they are calculated, then I need to stay on my toes. "What do we do now?" "You need to rest boss; you look like you haven't slept in days," Ryan says concerned. "I haven't," I respond genuinely. "How can I sleep when my woman and child are in danger?"Jake sighs, taking a seat. "We are close, I can feel it. Ryan has something, if we work with it carefully, we will get that bastard in no time." This lead that Ryan has almost cost Aella her life. H
