CHAPTER THREE

NATALIE'S POV

"So what is it you wanted to talk about?" he asked, smirking. We had finally finished eating and he was ready to talk.

"Finally!" I yelled, hitting my palms on the table and sitting straight. "Did you or did you not nut in me?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"Take a guess, gattina," he said, smirking. His dark eyes stared into mine and I almost shrunk back into my seat. Not from embarrassment. It was from the throbbing I felt between my legs. I squeezed them tighter and cleared my throat.

"I have somewhere I need to be, Alpha Ace," I stated, glaring at him. "Will you please answer my question now?"

"Feisty huh, gattina? Well, seeing as you were begging to have my babies and the way you just wouldn't let me pull out, what other choice did I have?" he said, shrugging. I groaned and hit my forehead on the table twice. This was a bad idea!

'At least he's hot. Why can't you just accept and pleasure each other?' Tania said. I rolled my eyes internally at her then looked at Ace.

"Thank you, Alpha Ace. For breakfast and for your time. I will take my leave now," I stated, then picked up my bag and stood up. As I turned, I felt his hand grab mine and he spun me to himself. Humming, he said,

"It's Ace, Natalie. I can't have people thinking I treat my wife badly." I gave him a once over and smirked,

"We are not married yet though. I'll give it a thought once we get married….Alpha Ace," then I hiked my bag up a bit, spun around on my heels and walked out of the restaurant.

"Alright, Jared," I said as I got into his car. I had told him earlier to come pick me up from the restaurant. As he reversed out of the parking lot, I caught the gaze of Ace and I rolled my eyes. Deciding to annoy him, I placed a hand on Jared's jaw and waved Ace goodbye.

"Is that Ace?" Jared asked when we left.

"Unfortunately, fortunately, yes!" I sighed.

"He's quite the catch."

"Which is why I said unfortunately. Assuming he was even a bit ugly, I would have had no problem resisting him but no, he just had to come looking freaking Adonis," I complained, sighing.

'Now that you know that, why are you still trying to fight the attraction?' Tania said.

'Shut up, idiot,' I growled at her. She giggled then retracted back into my mind." So where to? "

"Chloe said we would meet her at the company. I'm not sure but I think she said something about finances and accounts," Jared explained. I nodded, then looked at the mirror and my eyes caught a black car following us. I groaned. Jared followed my line of sight and chewed the insides of his mouth.

"Uhm, Nat, you think I should drop you here and let you take a taxi or something? If that's your husband then I really don't want to get beaten up so early in the morning," Jared said. I laughed at him.

"Coward! That's definitely not Ace. He has much better things to do. He said some shit about not trusting me and bodyguards following me so that's not him," I told Jared. Jared sighed in relief and I added, "I hope." Then he tensed up again.

*******

"What's wrong?" I asked, immediately I entered the office. Chloe and Amelia were at the desks, furiously typing and flipping through some files.

"Amelia and I were doing the accounts when we noticed—"

"I noticed," Amelia interjected, emphasizing on the I. We all rolled our eyes then shifted our focus back to Chloe.

"So we noticed that somewhere along the line, we started incurring more loss than ever. We're also in slight debt but we haven't been able to figure out who's been embezzling funds!" Chloe explained, running her hands through her hair exasperatedly.

"Hold on," I said then sat a desk and powered the computer, "Let me see those files,"

"Here," Chloe said, handing me the file. I flipped through it then logged into a browser on the computer as I began typing. After some thirty minutes, I pressed the enter key and it finally led me to where I wanted.

"Who's Yale Johnson?" I asked, frowning.

"That's our head accountant. Why?" Jared asked. He came closer to me and peered at the screen. "No,"

"It's him."

"Yes! That's why you're our favorite hacker!" Amelia said, jumping and coming to hug me. I grinned at her. "So what do we do with him now?"

"Dismiss him. Ask him for 8 times his salary and refuse to pay him for this month" I stated. I glanced at Jared but I could still see a trace of worry on his features. "What?"

"Even if we do that, where would we get money to pay back the debt?" he asked. I tapped my fingers on the desk and I tried to think of a way out. An idea occurred to me but even if I tried to slam it back down with a two hundred pound sledgehammer, it sprang back up.

I sighed." I have an idea."

*******

The week passed by in a blur. Now I wasn't a single woman anymore. Within the hour, I would be married off to a man I didn't love. I sighed as I stared at myself in the mirror. The pure white dress hugged all my curves in the right places. I fingered the lace material in the dress and frowned. My mother had planned this wedding without even informing me about anything. Now I was stuck with her choice.

A knock sounded at my door. "Can we come in?" Chloe asked.

"Yeah," I answered, then turned to face them. As they entered, I grinned and raised a brow, "You got it ?"

"Yup!" Amelia answered, grinning. She handed the dress to me and I smirked. I quickly she'd the dress off my body and wore the new one. It was an all black shoulder less dress. It hugged my body and brought out my curves, showing off my assets.

"I really want to see how Ace would react when he sees you in this,"

"That's who you want to see? I'm just waiting to see her mother's reaction!" Chloe grinned. I laughed at them and picked up my bouquet of flowers then I turned to face them.

"How does the queen look?"

"Like a million bucks," they chorused. We fell into deep silence then Amelia cleared her throat nervously.

"You didn't tell us, that night, did he cum in you?" she asked.

"Who?" Chloe asked, frowning. We had forgotten to tell her that day. Amelia explained everything to her and she gasped in surprise. "Did he?"

I blushed. "He did."
