Chapter 3

Author's POV

Hearing the alarm, Ace woke up.

He gets down from the bed and entered the washroom. After taking a long shower then came out wearing his suit. Today, he needs to leave for Paris. 

Ace picked up his phone and wallet then left his room. 

When he entered the living room he saw his dad was talking with four men. They were looking like bodyguards. 

When Hunter saw his son his called Ace. 

Ace went towards him. 

"Here, he is my son and your boss. You need to protect him" Hunter said to him making Ace shocked. First, he thought maybe his father hired them for his mother. 

Ace was about to open his mouth when Hunter speaks up again," Now go and wait for him near his car" 

The bodyguards nodded and left from there.

Hunter walked towards the dining table where Stella was already waiting for them.

"Dad, what is it?" Ace asked him, dad. 

"What is what?" His dad asked him back and sat down. 

"Dad, don't play with me. I am not a child. I can take care of myself. I don't need bodyguards" Ace said. 

"Honey, will you bring the juice I brought yesterday?" Hunter asked his wife. 

"Sure," Stella said and went from there. 

Hunter looked at Ace then speaks up," Do you think I don't know anything?"

"What are you talking about, dad?" Ace asked him. 

"Two days ago you had met an accident," Hunter said and Ace got shocked. 

"Dad, it was a small accident. I just got hurt in my arm. Nothing serious" Ace said. 

"It was our business rivals work, my son. In the business world, we do not need to make enemies. Emery started making by its own when you start achieving success. They tried to broke your arms and legs so you couldn't able to attend the Paris meeting. I know you have worked hard for this project that's why I am not stopping you from going but you need to take the bodyguards with you. They can try to harm you in Paris too. And I will not listen anything about it. One more thing the bodyguards will not listen your any command. So do you shout at them unnecessarily" Hunter said and Ace kept quiet because he knows his dad is right. 

Stella came with the juice then they had breakfast together. 

After this Ace left for the airport. 

After an hour

Ace gets in his private jet and took his seat. 

Four bodyguards were sitting behind him. 

He just wants to throw them outside but he can't. He knows it was for his own self. 

Ace switched off his phone and took a magazine. 

The jet soon flying. Ace kept reading the magazine. 

Soon a waitress came there and served black coffee. 

Ace was about to take it but one of the bodyguards stopped him. 

Ace looked at him being confused. 

The bodyguard took the glass from him and pour down a little amount of coffee in his glass. 

The bodyguard checks the then he handover the glass to Ace. 

Ace took the glass and spoke up," They are my loyal person. They will not try to harm me" 

"We are sorry sir, but we can not let you have anything without checking. Mr. Hunter ordered us to check everything and if we don't do our duty then he will fire us the next moment. We can not take this risk sir" One of the bodyguards said to him. 

Ace sighed and gulped down the juice then started reading the magazine again. 

After some time, Ace stood up. 

"Sir, do you need anything?" One of the bodyguards asked him. 

"No. I am going to my private room. I want to take some rest" Ace said and they nodded. 

Ace went to his room and two bodyguards stood outside of his room. 

Ace went to the washroom and got fresh up. Then he came out and sat down on the bed. Although his wounds were healed up but sometimes he felt little pain. 

Ace laid down on the bed and fell asleep. 

After fifteen hours the jet landed. Ace gets down from the jet. Two cars were already waiting for him. 

Ace gets in his car and the bodyguards get in another car. 

Soon the drivers started the cars. 

Ace took out his phone and started checking his emails. After an hour the cars stooped in front of a hotel. 

One of the bodyguards opened the door for Ace. He gets down.

When Ace, entered the hotel the manager of this hotel came towards him. 

"Welcome to our hotel sir. Please come in. Your room is already ready" The manager said to him. 

Ace nodded at him then took the room's key. Then he started going towards his room. 

The bodyguards also took their keys and followed Ace as their room was beside his. 

Ace entered his room and put his bag on the bed. Taking out a towel and clothes Ace, entered the washroom. 

After taking a long shower. He wrapped the towel around his waist and came out. 

Ace took another towel and started drying, his hair. 

Just then his phone started ringing. 

Ace took his phone and saw it was Nick. His friend. 

Ace picked up the call and Nick spoke up," Hey buddy, how are you doing?" 

"Do not ask man. Dad made my life hell. His bodyguards are roaming around me for 24 hours. I got sick of this man" Ace spoke up being frustrated. 

Nick smiled hearing this. 

"Uncle did this for your good man. How was your journey? And when is your meeting?" Nick asked him. 

"The journey was good. My meeting is tomorrow" Ace said to him.

"Then when you are planning to come back?" Nick asked him. 

"Day after tomorrow probably," Ace said. 

"Okay. Take care of yourself. I have to go now" Nick said. 

"You too, take care," Ace said and disconnected the call. 

He started drying his hair. When he has done, he wears his clothes and ordered dinner. 

Taking his laptop he started working. 

After some time, he heard a knock at his door. 

Ace stood up and went towards the door. When he opened the door a waiter entered his room and put his dinner, on a table. 

Ace felt something off in the waiter. Her dress was too short than a usual waiter. 

"Do you need anything, else sir?" The waiter asked him and gave him dirty look. 

"What else do you have to serve me?" Ace started playing along with her. 

The waiter opened the chain of her dress and her dress fell on the ground. She is in her bra and underwear. 

"What do you think about this offer?" The woman asked him giving him a seduces look. 

Ace smirked and signal her to come closer. 

The woman smiled evilly and went towards him. 

When she was close enough. Ace looked at her head and noticed a small device is in peeking from her hair. 

"Do you like the service? You know you can take this service full night for free" The woman said to him. 

"Truly, your service surprised me. Dad was right" Ace said and removed the device from her hair carefully. 

The woman smiled and spoke up," By the way why you are here? For any meeting? On which product? I have heard you are so good a business. I have always wanted to work in a company like yours but my fate led me here. I have a plan. Will you play a little game with me?" The Woman asked roaming her hand on his chest. 

"Which game?" Ace asked controlling his anger. He needs to know why the girl came here and who has sent her. 

"Let's think of me as your PA. Let's discuss about the project and in return, we can enjoy a full night" The woman said. 

Ace smiled and took few steps back and press the alarm. 

Soon his bodyguards entered his room being alert. 

"Sir, are you okay? What happened?" One of the bodyguards asked him. 

The woman got scared watching four men with guns. She was about to go but Ace ordered his bodyguards to hold her. 

The woman tried to run away but the bodyguards were quick enough to catch her. 

"Who has sent you here?" Ace asked the woman. 

"What do you mean? I am a writer. I just come here to give your order food" The woman said. 

"Then what is this?" Ace asked and showed her the device. 

Watching the device in his hand, the woman gulped in fear. 

"Speak up before I call the police and hand over you to them," Ace said. 

Hearing this the woman started crying.

"Speak before we break your every single bone" One of the bodyguards shouted angrily. 

Just then, the hotel manager entered the room with some security guards. 

"Sir, this woman is not our stuff. She hit one waiter and locked her in the storeroom. She took her clothes and came into your room" The manager said to him. 

"You should close your hotel if you do not have the ability to protect your customers. Is it your VIP hotel? Where a random girl can enter?" Ace shouted at him. 

The manager looked down in shame. 

"We are sorry sir. It will never happen again" The manager said and told the security guards to take the woman but Ace stopped them. 

"We need to know something. Then you can take this woman" Ace said to him. 

The manager nodded. 

"Open your mouth woman before I make you" Ace shouted at her. 

The woman started shaking and spoke up, "I am from your rival company. My boss ordered me to take the project information from you. So, I came here as a waiter" The woman said. 

"And?" Ace asked her. 

"I have mixed drugs and sleeping pills in your food so you fell asleep and I can steal everything. Also, if you took the food you couldn't able to attend the meeting tomorrow. The drugs are very dangerous" The woman said. 

"Why did you put the device in your hair?" Ace asked her. 

"To record everything," The woman said. 

Ace looked at the manager and spoke up," You can take her now but I want her behind the bar" 

"Of course sir. She not only tried to harm you but also she harmed our one waiter. She will pay for this" The manager said to him. 

Ace nodded and they left taking the girl with them. 

One of the bodyguards took the food tray and left the room.

"Sir, take rest. We are outside of your room" Saying this the bodyguards left the room. 

Ace sat down on the bed. 

"Bloody fools, instead of working hard they are doing cheap things to get the deal" Ace muttered and closed his laptop. 

Soon, a bodyguard brings his dinner and left the room. 

Ace took his dinner and laid down on the bed. 

Tomorrow, he has to work hard to get the deal...

Next morning

Beep beep..beep

Hearing this annoying sound I got so irritated face and pulled up the blanket and cover my body. 

"Beep beep..beep

Beep beep..beep

But this annoying sound keeps coming into my ears. 

"Who is dying? Shut the hell up" I shouted and closed my eyes tried to sleep again when my phone starts ringing. 

Great. Just great" I mutter and picked the call without seeing the id. 

"Who?" I asked rudely. 

"Sir, it is Max. Your PA" He speaks up nervously. 

"What is it? Why did you call me" I asked him. 

"Sir, you have a meeting after an hour so I wanted to remind you about this," He said and my sleep totally went away. 

I pushed away from the blanket from my body and sat up. 

"Shit" I muttered looking at the clock. 

"Is everything ready for the meeting?" I asked him. 

"Yes sir. Everything is okay" He said. 

"Did the client reach already?" I asked him again. 

"No sir. But they are on way" He informed me. 

"Okay. I am going" Saying this I ran into the washroom and took a quick shower. 

After getting dressed I come out and start drying my hair. 

It is already 7.30 am

"Shit I have a meeting at 8" I mutter and wear my suit, watch. 

Just then a heard a knock on the door. 

"Who is it?" I shouted and took my laptop. 

"Sir, it is your bodyguard. Your breakfast is ready" He said. 

"I am already late for the meeting. I can not take breakfast now. I will take it after my meeting. Get the car ready" I shouted. 

"Okay sir," He said and went away. 

After getting ready. I left my room. 

When I come outside I saw my car was already ready.

"Good morning sir" The bodyguards greeted me politely and I nodded at them. 

One of the bodyguards opened the door for me. 

Soon the driver started the car. 

After 25 minutes the car stopped in front of the office. One of the bodyguards opened the door for me. 

I get down. 

When I entered the office, a man came towards me. 

"Welcome to our office sir. Everyone is waiting in the meeting room. This way please" He said leading me the way.

I nodded at him. 

"Go in our sir. Our CEO will be here in five minutes" The man said and opened the door for me. 

I entered the room and saw already many businessmen were waiting there. 

I took my seat and put my laptop on the table. 

After five minutes the CEO came and started the meeting. After long two hours of choosing he finally selected my project. 

"Congratulations Mr. King.  You have done a great job. We are happy to get the chance to work with you" The CEO said. 

"Same here," I said and we shake our hands.

Then we have breakfast there then I left from there. 

When I come outside my bodyguards opened the door for me. 

I get in. 

"Where to sir?" The driver asked. 

"Back to the hotel," I said. 

The driver nodded and started the car.
