The Devil's Trap Chapter 17 ____ The Strange Client
|| 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,
The Devil's Trap Chapter 18 ____ The Betrayal
|| 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
The Devil's Trap Chapter 19 ____ The New Office
|| 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
The Devil's Trap Chapter 20 ___ Man From Childhood
|| 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
The Devil's Trap Chapter 21 ______ You disgust me?
|| 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
The Devil's Trap Chapter 22 ______ Mysterious Gift
|| ACE KING's POV || " Mr.Mayor is here, Ace!" Lina said with a smirk, standing on the doorway. I let out a huff, crossed my legs before telling, " Let him in!" Mayor Dennis entered with a nervous smile, his eyes looking concerned. He greeted me with fake affection, " Good Morning, Mr.King. I got a call from your secretary last night." I didn't waste my time on explaining. Dropping the file in front of his face, I said with a smirk, " Right! You need to cover up another murder case." He wiped the sweat from his forehead, his lips pressing together into a smile. He swallowed hard before picking the files, " That..this man is CEO Martin..how..how did he offend you? Mr.King..You should restrain yourself now..This city is new to you.." I cut him off, standing on my feet, " That's why I paid you 20 million dollars in your campaign, Mr.Mayor. That's your job, not mine." His lips went shut as he reminded my big favour. Without me, his dream of becoming the Mayor of this city would
The Devil's Trap Chapter 23 _____ The Game Of Hatred
|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " What's the meaning of this secret meeting? How did you manage to get those flowers, dad? Are you bribing someone in the jail?" It didn't take a while for me to understand who sent those flowers for me. It was my dad who used to call me 'Daughter' instead of using my name. He lifted his eyes to shoot me a wicked grin, something didn't feel right about him. How did he manage to contact others? Was someone helping him out? So far, I knew that all his friends were killed or either in jail but his influence really shocked me this time. Even though he was my biological father, he was no good for me especially when I married the person that he hated the most probably. Even though I knew that his empire was destroyed,he still had a lot of useful connections. I just prayed that he wasn't digging his own grave anymore. He let out a dark chuckle, leaning to the glass before telling, " I know that you are smart, Katherine and stubborn too.. just like your father.
The Devil's Trap Chapter 24 _____ Sweet Deal
|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || " Madam! Are you okay? Do you need anything?" It was the lady caretaker who asked me these questions. I had been splashing water on my face over the past one hour literally. The nightmares came back again. When I woke up in my empty cold bed, I was being sweaty all over. Probably, I really didn't cure myself ever. I waved my hands dismissively, " I am fine! Thanks for your concern. Just give me a coffee!" The lady caretaker nodded before leaving. She didn't look convinced by my answer. Probably, his sick torture reached all ears. The caretaker was the only person who cared for me in the house. I came out of the washroom groggily. It was late at night and I didn't see Ace for the rest of the day. But the pain in my ass reminded me of what he had done to me today. I walked to the bed to sit down leisurely. It was even more difficult to move around with my sore butt. The caretaker returned with the coffee in her hands. She placed it in front of me and of
