ACE
I rubbed my hands against my forehead, as I went through the files on my table. I couldn't concentrate on my work in the last few days. Everything seemed really confusing and frustrating. I didn't really understand what was wrong.
After the day my mom hit me, I became perplexed at everything I was doing. I wanted to apologize to her, but I just didn't know how to. It was really hard to not speak to her in two weeks. It was so annoying!
Besides her, Mia ignored every of my tease. She was really being obedient to whatever instruction I gave, and that was quite amazing.
Emily also wasn't around since a week ago. She had to do some important work, and that frustrated me even more. There was no one to accompany me.
It was five in the evening already. I needed to relax. Work was really tiring these days. It got me so screwed up.
I arranged the
ACE"Oh Ace! This room is gorgeous!" Emily exclaimed.I rolled my eyes and walked behind Emily, as she traipsed into the room. I was really exhausted. Our journey was a really stressful one. Besides the long journey, Emily's over excitement was already getting on my nerves. She seemed to talk too much, or comment on unnecessary things. I was so used to it, but I didn't know why it irritated me. It was probably because I was stressed out, but my heart didn't think so.To be sincere, I somewhat felt weird that I was on a trip with Emily. At first, it seemed completely normal to me, but later, it felt like I wasn't doing the right thing.I wanted to get rid of that thought, but it kept flashing into my sense. It kept ringing, and clamoring in my mind. I just couldn't understand the reason.This was one of the reasons I didn't want to get married. I probably felt that
I quivered as I stood, staring at him. Why did I have to see him? Why couldn't he stop teasing my heart? What did he want from my soul?It was Drake! It was him again. Why did I have to see him again? I was slowly getting rid of my memories about him, and I was almost completing that task. So why now?!My eyes were already filled with tears, and I tried so hard to prevent it from dropping.I swallowed again and quickly averted from our stare. There was a probability that he wouldn't recognize me, but I doubted that. He narrowed his eyes and seemed to be noticing me."Sorry." I lowered my head, trying to prevent him from observing me further, and hurried to walk past him.That was a little relief. But still, I wasn't sure he didn't discern me."Mia." He called, causing my heart to ache.I thought he wasn't going to cognize me. So foolish of me
ACEI finally shut my laptop, after a two hour study. I was done with my work and It was already nine in the morning. I woke up early, and hurried to do everything I needed to do for the day.It was our last day at Miami, and we hardly even enjoyed it. Whenever we wanted to have fun, it was either I acted like a complete git, or I'd get tired for no reason.I was sure Emily was regretting the fact, that she had to come here with me. It didn't seem like she was enjoying her vacation at all. And all thanks to me.I sighed tiredly and sauntered to the bagel she had dropped for me, before she left.I had no idea of what she was up to, and I didn't ask either. For some reason, I wasn't interested in anything, but home. I couldn't wait to get there. I just couldn't.I turned back at the settee, and walked to it.I was about t
ACEI parked my car in the garage, and headed to the mansion. I was so curious to get home, and finally feel comfortable.I was supposed to be home by 11:00am, but I changed my mind completely. I booked an early ticket for 5:00am. It was quite obvious that Emily wasn't fine with that, but I ignored. I thought of having another trip with her, when I was stable enough."Gabriel." I called one of my workers, before stepping in."Yes sir." He hurried to me."Grab my stuffs in the boot, and bring it in." I ordered. And before he could reply, I rambled in.I was so exhausted. I needed bed rest. At the hotel, I couldn't sleep on the same bed with Emily. I insisted on paying for another room, but she refused. She said she was too scared to stay alone, especially in an unknown place. It was quite uncomfortable, but I had to do it. I was so
I impelled back and forth on my bed, and slowly opened my eyes. I was still so exhausted. My head was really crying for help. It felt like pieces of rocks were leaping in my skull. I couldn't explain the pain that was being inflicted on me. In one word, it was overwhelming. "Arrgh!" I groaned in pain, and tugged the back of my neck with my hands. "Ace," Mia's angelic voice sounded from the side of my bed. I wanted to cry to her, and beg her to call a doctor, but I just didn't know how to. How was I going to say it? How could those words even leave my lips? I jerked my eyes open, and turned to her. She looked so disturbed and scared.
MIA "Well, the only alternate option right now, is to use the medicines I've prescribed. But that may not seem to work so fast," the doctor vividly stated. I turned to Ace who was standing by the side of the bed, his facial expression blank, as if he wasn't interested in what the doctor was saying. "Are you sure?" he asked again. "I'm willing to give you extra money. Isn't there a way you can perform a surgical operation on her?" I raised a brow at him, and giggled silently. "I don't want surgery." My response was firm, firm enough to shut the doctor up from saying anything. I was pretty sure the doctor would regret that he had to encounter a cl
I still stared at my phone as it rang. He was already calling for the second time, and I still hadn't made a decision, whether or not to pick it.I didn't want any form of distraction in my life. My life was already so complicated to aggravate it further. I just didn't know what to do.I sighed and finally decided to switch it off. That was the best way to avoid any calamity from befalling me. I really wished to speak with him, in order to get rid of my sad thought, but my marriage was at stake.Being close to him could severely hurt my marriage. It was only going to confuse my already confused life, and worsen my problems. I couldn't let such. My life was already so difficult.I sat by the bedside, and waited patiently for Ace to come upstairs. If he didn't like me, there was a way I could let him do. I could probably start up from friendship. If he wasn't ready to take the move, I was. 
I still somewhat hesitated, as we faced each other. He was scowling intensely as I stared calmly. I didn't know how to begin. I also had doubt if he'd believe me. He seemed to have fed his mind with thoughts of how well I wanted his money. He didn't even know the real stuff. I hoped he'd believe me completely. I was too innocent for this shit. I expired and swallowed calmly. "Firstly," I began. "I want to ask you some questions." He scoffed and released his folded arms, tucking them into his shorts. "What now? Ask for my money? Or ask for something more expensive?"I furrowed my brows at him, weakly. Why did he have such a crazy mentality? It wasn't fine at all. "No." I stated sharply."Then what?" He retorted. "Would you let me speak?" I requested. "Ok. I'll let you speak. Go on.""Ace." I called softly. "Thinking about it, have I ever asked y
