|| ACE KING's POV || " The lawyer is here, Sir! Would you like to check on the papers?", Max asked, pushing open the car door slowly. I headed straight to the police station as soon as the sun rose up. I am a man of my words. I wasn't going to take back my words after she admitted defeat in front of me. Max hired the best lawyer of the town who needed a few more extra dollars to solve the cases. However, Mr.Harper was still staying behind the bars until his daughter repaid the debt to me. It made me mad when she looked so sullen and broken after our sex last night. It was supposed to be our wedding night but I made sure to make it hell for me. Now, she looked like my maiden doll, ready to be played out anytime. I put the cigarette down from my lips, murmuring as I glanced up at Max from my thoughts, " I trust you! Let him handle it!" Max gave me a small before disappearing into the closed walls of the police station. My thoughts went back to the time of our college days. She pro
|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " So, you wanted this job pretty badly, huh?" The familiar voice of the boss surprised me. I raised my chin up to look into his eyes. I gasped in surprise, happiness feathering on my features. Alexander! I mean..Alex.. Alexander was one of the closest buddy that we had in our college days. Like, he wasn't so close to know our family drama but he was pretty close to us, back on that time. I still couldn't believe that Alexander was the head of the XL Company. This morning, I left early to look for a job again. Thankfully, XL had invited me to give an interview after days of rejection. A little part of me believed that Ace was behind all of this. Even though I had the best results, I couldn't manage to get any single job in this city. Isn't it too odd? Alexander smiled big at me. His face was still so well rounded and handsome. He wore those big white glasses which always gave off an aura of scholar. Nothing changed inside him except for his uniform whi
|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " YOU FUCKING JOINED IN ALEXANDER'S COMPANY???" Ace threw me harshly on the ground, my knees hitting the cold floor beneath. I held back a yelp from coming out. He looked mad and wild, his irony gaze pinning me on the ground. He tugged his collar off, pulling off the tie like a mad man. His breathing was coming out as pants as he started approaching me in unsteady steps. His eyes looked like they were red from drunkness. I never saw him in rage before and it gave me shudder, running through her spine. I retorted sharply, not caring about the burn in my wrists, " SO???? Alexander is my friend. What's wrong with joining his company?" Ace let out a grunt, his fingers raking roughly through his hairs, " You didn't even bother to ask me? All of your wishes have been fulfilled. Why the fuck you decided to join him?" My anger was at its peak. At first, I had to deal with his slutty mistress. Now, it was him again who was demanding answers from me. I was fee
|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " May I have your name, Mam?" The guard from the gate questioned me, eying at me suspiciously. I mean, they had every right to do that since they never saw me before. I came to the old house where some old staff members had gathered to pay respect to Ace's mother. After he took me like a cave man, I went to take snacks downstairs. At that time, the house maid told me about the funeral ceremony that no one was attending. I knew that Ace never liked his parents but it was too harsh to ignore someone who had been dead already. The housemaid shared her sorrow about not having any family members to attend the ceremony. I knew that it was useless to request Ace to come here. So, I took the charge in my own hands, and arrived to pay respect in a black satin dress. Ace had no idea about my arrival here. He would be pissed off again but it was nothing new. At least, one of the family members would attend the ceremony. I gave a small smile to the guard before giv
|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " So..you live alone in this big apartment?" I questioned Alexander who turned out to be my unexpected savior. He was coming from his country town that day and coincidentally discovered me on the road. I was badly drenched, wincing and whimpering in coldness. Thankfully, he offered me a ride but kept asking me the same questions consistently. He wanted to know what I was doing in the middle of the road. How would I tell him that my jerk husband had left me there without even bothering to take a second look? Next, Alexander brought me to his apartment, considering how badly drenched I was. It was huge, thrice from the apartment that I was living in abroad. Even the walls of his apartment screamed money. After coming here, I figured out that he used to live alone. There wasn't even a single maid, available in his apartment. Alexander chuckled on my words, going over to sit on his black couch. He said with a shrug, "I don't like outsiders in my private t
|| ACE KING's POV || " Touch yourself, Lina! Make it hard!" I ordered, barging into her room. She sat up hastily, all excited just to see me. I didn't fuck her ever since I married the woman whom I hated the most. A part of me wanted to give her the traumas that her husband is cheating on her but other parts of my heart feel scared of disrespecting something holy called marriage. After living years under the clutch of abusive parents,I had always told myself that I would cherish my married life. But here I am!! I married the girl that I loved for revenge, giving her the taste of losing a child. Lina appeared excited, nodding her head before getting on the bed to spread her legs. She was always ready to please unlike someone who had an obsession with making me angry. I hopped to the mini bar, fetching a few glasses of drinks to keep myself distracted. Because I had no intention to fuck Lina. All I wanted was to torment the girl, living next to the room. Lina started doing her thin
|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " Come In!" Alexander voiced out after I knocked on his door for the third time. He was having a conversation with a bald man in front of him. After Ace dropped me off nearby, I had to block all the negative thoughts in my mind. I guessed that pregnancy wouldn't be so easy for me, considering how I missed my period regularly. However when the doctor uttered the truth, I didn't like it as much as I should. In my mind, I probably really wanted to become the mother of Ace King's child. " You have a meeting with the griffins, Alex. Would you like to dismiss it?" I inquired, using my professional voice. Alexander asked me to stop calling him 'Sir'. So,I quit calling him 'Boss' but I could tell that many staff from his office didn't like it. Alexander raised his eyes to smile at me, speaking in a warm voice, " No need, Katherine! We are done already! Oh, Meet Mr Jeremy. He is our new client." Mr.Jeremy stood up first to greet me. When our eyes met others,
|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " Why are you doing this to me??" I whispered, tears of betrayal forming in my eyes. After a long time, I really thought that someone actually had good intentions for me. But it was all proven a lie when Alex appeared in the spot, fully dressed like a villain. He had never left the town. He wanted to trap me in his evil game. Alex stopped, upon hearing me. His eyes rested on me so cold and emotionless. I didn't see the sympathy in his eyes that he showed me in his office. He looked nothing less than a cold blooded monster. He sneered at me, growling, " You think that I don't know, you are married to Ace King? I have known it from the beginning. That's why, you were there in my office, Sweetheart. Or else.. what do you think that I gave you the job?" It broke my heart to know that he did everything for revenge. I thought that I was finally capable but it seems like, everyone just wanted to use me for their own sick game. Alex continued, hatred lacing ou
