I am Ace King, your girlfriend's ex and the man who took her virginity, kissed her a while ago in the party."Too stunned, I shot Ace a knife like glare. I never knew that he was so desperate to tear me apart. Rowan's face sank as he clenched his fists on his side.

The Devil's Trap Chapter 5 _____ The Truths
|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV ||What the hell was happening here?I felt utterly clueless until the visual displays of bodies began to play in front of my vision. It was none other than my so-called groom in that video. There, he was fucking a brunette over a bed, letting out shameful moans. An ounce of regret never appeared on his face.Rowan shouted even before me, sounding panicked," Who the fuck.. dare to do this... Stop it..Stop.."" Honey, listen to me..", he nudged on my forearms, using the same sweet tone to delude me. The whole world felt non-existent in front of me.

I murmured in bewilderment, flipping through the pages of my father's past crime that had been reopened by someone one after another. The pages felt too heavy in my hands. I knew that my father wasn't a good man. But nobody held grudges against him. His arch nemesis had all died in cross fire already. Those dark empires were a fairy tale now.

I am afraid that if it continues, he can probably never get out of the jail." I slammed my fist on the table, growling softly, " This.. can't happen..He must come out or else I will lose whatever is left in my life." Uncle John asked another question, looking at me pitifully, " Kat! Remember! Did you offend someone? You kn

Mayor Hendrix was a man of fifty. He was a wise man. When I had given him the offer of controlling the North state, he agreed quickly. In exchange, he helped me, digging out all the buried crimes of Mr.Harper. Mayor Hendrix chuckled, raising the glass to clang happily, " Mention not! But I don't understand.
