The Devil's Trap Chapter 9 _______ The Unexpected Wedding
|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || LISLE HOSPITAL, " You will be fine, Mom! I..I promise..you...you will be out of this coma, one day. I am not gonna leave you alone again!" Tears trickled down from my eyes as I held my mom's hand after a long time. Talking to her without getting any response had become my favourite hobby in these years. Whenever I visited her, I made sure to tell her everything about my life and dad. She had been in a vegetarian state ever since I was only seven. Dad said that it caused her from an accident. The doctor said that there was no hope from her side to wake up again but I wasn't willing to trust it. She was my mother. How could I give up on her so easily? Even dad sometimes said that we should let go of her to heaven but I had never agreed. Until there was one tiny hope left, I was going to wait for her. Her medical expenses were bored by me so far. Dad's savings were more than enough to give her financial support but it wasn't working for her anymore. That'
The Devil's Trap Chapter 10 ______ Hell For You
|| KATHERINE HARPER's POV || Tears stung my eyes as I heard him commanding like a master as if I was just his fuck buddy. I couldn't help but growling those words out loud, " If you wanted to just fuck..you didn't need to marry me, Ace King." His sharp eyes returned to me, smirking as he slipped out of his clothes. In a few seconds, he was towering over me, pressing a finger on my lips to threaten me, " Sshh! Watch before you speak, Princepessa. I am not your prince charming anymore. I am the devil who is here to suck your soul. If I made you just my fuck body, what will the world call my child? An illegitimate one? In no way, I was going to allow it. Get on the bed and wait for me. I want your back to remember because I really don't wish to kiss your poisonous lips ever which fed me lies for years." I hated him today more than I loved me. A part of me shouted to remind me that I was responsible for the things happening today. It was me who ruined his beautiful life first. It was
The Devil's Trap Chapter 11 _____ Father-in-law
|| 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
The Devil's Trap Chapter 12 ______ The New Office
|| 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
The Devil's Trap Chapter 13 _____ Do Your Duty
|| 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
The Devil's Trap Chapter 14 ___ Ace King's Wife
|| 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
The Devil's Trap Chapter 15 ____ The Pictures
|| 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
