Antonio Reymond?
"What?" I gasped. "How? How did this happen?"
She shook her head, wiping her tears. "I don't know. I just got a call from the police station a while ago. And since then I was calling Achilles non-stop, but he wasn't picking up his phone! Even our lawyer called him. Where's he?"
A while ago, means we were in his bedroom then…
Blinking away those thoughts from my mind, I said, "Don't worry, Tess. Everything will be fine. He's in his penthouse right now."
"Alright, let's…"
The ring of her phone cut her off. Receiving it, she listened to whatever the other person said and then cut the call.
"It was him. He's waiting for me outside in the car. I gotta go!"
"Wait! I'll come with you!" I insisted. I didn't want to leave her alone right now.
She nodded, sniffling. "Alright, let's go!"
Once we were outside, we found him in the driver's seat

We'll see?This infuriating man!"I'm just letting you hug me because you needed it. Don't think of something else. I'm still mad at you for what you did up at your penthouse…" My cheeks flamed at my slip of tongue. Why did I need to mention it right now?My lips tingled recalling the earth-shattering kiss on his bed.He put his nose into my hair. "And don't think I forgot what you did last night. It was a really reckless move. And about kissing you," he rasped, arms tightening around me, "I don't regret a second of it.

The Trap Of Ace Not his woman
I knew that he knew what I was asking. He knew really well what I wanted to know.His feelings couldn't grow just in these days. It had to be from our past. And if he really did feel something for me, then why did he do that? Why did he push me away like that?"I want to know, Ace. Will you tell me?"Not only about the night years ago I wanted to know about, what happened to his mom and his hatred for his old house also nagged at the back of my mind. I didn't forget the venom and pain reflected in his eyes when he stared at the doors of his mom's former room at Tess's engagement.There were so many things I'd questions about. But the answers weren't anywhere in my sight.Taking a deep breath, he took my hands and brushed his lips against my knuckles. "I will. I will tell you everything you want to know.

"God, girl! You should seriously dump that ass boyfriend of yours! I thought he was a nice guy, but I didn't know what a mommy's boy he is!" cursed Casie, shaking her head while Beth grabbed another tissue from the tissue box on her lap and blew her nose."It's not that easy, Cass. I love him. We've been together for three years." Beth sniffled, wiping her cheeks."Just because you guys have been together for three years, doesn't mean you'll take his mother's shit!

The Trap Of Ace Red freaking witch!
When I was finally outside, I was frozen in my place. And the cold breeze wasn't the main culprit for it. It was him. Looking like just dived out of a magazine, he stood there leaning against his car, waiting impatiently. The crease between his brows was the proof.Even comparing him to those models printed on magazines would be an insult to his beauty. He was… beyond gorgeous.Flaunting a three piece navy blue Armani suit, paired with a charcoal black shirt beneath and a pair of polished expensive shoes, he took my breath away. As always.Noticing me, he stood straight. "You're five minutes late." And then his eyes went to the rest of my body. My skin burned under those heated stormy gaze of his as they raked over me.With shaven strong jaws clenched, nostrils flaring, he let out a curse. Grey eyes deepened two shades darker."You aren't seriously going to wear that in front o

Whirling around, I came face to face with the red witch. With arms crossed over her chest, she sized me up and down with her cat eyes. Her nose crinkled with disgust."I don't know what he saw into you, but I've to say, you trapped him pretty well in your web."Biting my inner cheek, I cast the tissue into the bin and turned to her. "And guess what? I didn't even have to throw myself on him like a shameless woman to trap him. Seems like that trick got quite old now."Her face turned red matching her dress, eyes flashing. "So you used the bed then? Otherwise a man like him wouldn't even look at you if not you pleased him well. Am I right? Where did you take your classes to please a man like that anyway? He seemed so lost into you."My hands fisted into balls, trying my best not to punch her plastic face. "From the same place you took your PhD. I'm sure you now got your answers. Now if you'll excuse me, I need
The Trap Of Ace Escaping him
Twirling the spoon into the mug, I mixed the sugar with my tea. Steam stopped dissipating from the beverage, but my moving the spoon didn't halt.

Even at night, I couldn't sleep due to his revelation and proposal. Proposal to go on a date with him. And as usual, not being able to give him any answers or make a decision, I ran away.After returning home, when I recalled everything that happened out there at the hotel, I was stunned by my own doings.

"What are you talking about? I'm not escaping you," I excused, not really meeting his eyes."Really? Then what was that at the lobby?" Gaze hard.Surprise lit in me. He saw me?Damn! I knew I'd gained weight. My fat ass couldn't even run faster!"W-what was what? What did I do now?" I feigned innocent.His lips pressed together in annoyance. "You ran away seeing me."I shrugged. "I don't know what you're talking about. I was already late for office. And a lot of work was piled up. I was busy. You're just mistaken.""Busy talking to my employee?" he asked, nostrils flaring.My eyes widened. How did he know that I was talking to Matt?Was he keeping an eye on me now?
