|| 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
|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || * Three * I blurted, squirming my thighs together to stop the sinful sensation. Despite our hatred, I hated to admit that his punishment unleashed some darker side inside me. My core started throbbing as soon as he slapped my ass cheeks. This man!! And his sick torture! How did I date him back then? Tears blurred my eyes but my body told the difference. I was sinfully enjoying every bit of it until another hard slap came without warning. * Four * I blurted through my clenched teeth, burying my head into the pillow. He growled, pinching on my ass cheeks, " You won't go to work anymore!!" I whimpered, pressed my lips together, " I am not your puppet.." " Ah...", another unexpected slap came as he groaned hissing, " You don't have the say! You almost lost your life!" I rebuked even though it was aching on my ass, " I have! I didn't make any deal with you that I can't work outside. So, I have the final say. I can't be a full time housewife. You kno
|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " WHAT DID YOU DO TO ALEX?" I barged into his office room, frustrated and furious. Even though Alex did wrong to me, I didn't want to ruin his life. I wasn't a dog like him. Pretty sure, Ace was behind the plot and game. Natasha chased after me, her piercing eyes on me as he tried to act like a good assistant, " Boss..I tried to stop her but she.." " LEAVE!", Ace blurted, lifting his eyes from the files. He looked charming in his dark grey suit. Subconsciously, I sucked down to my lower lips. He looked hot but he was the devil. Natasha didn't live, only smiled, assuming that Ace told me to get out. Ace furrowed his brows lightly at her, repeating his command, " I told you to leave us alone, Natasha!" Natasha seemed surprised a bit. After a moment of anger, she left unhappily. I didn't know why every girl swam over him like a fly. I mean, he was hot but it wasn't that to the point of going crazy all over him. Ace replied, standing up from his arm ch
|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " You hate me, don't you?" I asked in a whisper, hearing the door getting opened. His smell seemed different today. Instead of fresh cologne, he smelt like a raw and eaten. When I rolled on the bed to face his standing silhouette, my stomach dropped instantly. Ace's body was full of blood, stained with different marks. If I didn't know his character, I would have thought that he came back after killing someone without my knowledge. He replied, walking across the room as if he did nothing, " Why should I hate you more today? I have hated you already." I got on my knees, starting at his white stained t-shirt, " What did you do exactly? I don't understand you anymore,Ace! You sound like a gangster to me." He said nothing in return. Turning around, his lips curled up into a smirk before reminding, " Good wife don't question their husbands, Princepessa! Didn't I tell you that?" I kept my curiosity to myself. Watching the old man had already triggered m
