She had fallen in love with the right person at the wrong time. Why did she have to go drunk at the bar and meet this charismatic entrepreneur in the first place? And of all the places in Perth, why should she take refuge only under his roof. Yes, it sounds like a fairy-tale but unfortunately it is not and the reality of her life.
She could not continue her education in a university where she had worked so hard to win a scholarship because of Lothario who tried to rape her. Why should she bear the brunt of actions for a crime that she has not committed? Carl is not dead. And whatever she did to him was under the grounds of self-defense. Otherwise she would have been dead today.
However she also knew taking rounds of the court her hairs would turn gray but with no justice. When she needed someone's help the most, Ace
Ace grilled his words in temper. "You are not an intruder because I have willingly invited you into my home. I do not have any problem if you stay here. But if you want to go then it is your choice." He had tried enough to instill some sense in the head of an inconsistent jejune who can't even decide what dress to put on in the closet filled with dresses. Yes, his secretary informed him about Scarlett's dilemma to choose between the outfits. All these days he was trying to help her save her career by giving her an opportunity but Scarlet is not only a fool but rigid and peeve too.She nodded in understanding but her eyes like always were trained to the floor during their conversation. "Thank you."Ace pummeled his fist into the wall with anger making Scarlet flinch in fear and walked out of the place. Scarlet did not know why he was
Scarlet decided to leave Ace's home. Nevertheless, when she was acting on it a gut wrenching feeling of sadness occupied the pit of her stomach. The very origin of the thought got emptiness in her heart. This is what she wanted. Then why was she feeling sad instead of staying happy?A lone tear fell out from the corner of her eye. Scarlet gulped and quickly wiped the tear away as if it was blunder not to be committed at any cost. This was the moment of happiness, not meant for crying, she pep-talked to herself.Scarlett contemplated if she needed to inform Ace of her leaving the house but the scene that went the previous morning rehearsed in her brain. Ace almost broke the wall with anger. Her heart missed a beat with fear and she decided not to inform him of anything.
"I'm thankful to you for your benevolence and kind-heartedness in saving me from court rehearsals, hearings, and cops regarding my situation with Carl. You have given me a new life by helping me with a seat in a university many of us can only dream of. But I do not want to be a burden upon you anymore." Scarlet slightly bowed before him and resumed her task of cleaning.Ace's teeth went chitter-chatter with temper. Within a leap of her eyes he stood in front of her as dangerous as a reckoning Tsunami."What is it with you? I only told you to come home and you're giving me a lecture here." Ace wasn't accustomed to listening, he gives orders and others listen to him. Scarlet was work, the complete opposite of his female preference but he has no idea why he wanted her happy and comfortable.
Scarlet had the opportunity to select out of four vacant quarters. The first one was in the Gray and white theme. She found it purely a male's choice. The second one was complete with white walls. Scarlet felt it bland and lifeless. The third one was purple and green. She was a difficult woman to please. Scarlet found the color choice to be gaudy. The fourth quarter was neither too simple nor too fancy. It was painted in cream and pink, a simple two-room set consisting of a front room with an attached kitchen and a washroom. Scarlet liked the color choice and it was enough to accommodate her basic needs. After showering, she came to Ace's home to cook. Even after half an hour she couldn't find him. She wondered where he had gone. As if on call she heard him yelling at someone on the phone. He sauntered out in fierce modulation as his long hairy and naked feet kissed the ground in a rebellio
The principal made a loud yelp drawing his face to the ground. He had made a blunder listening to his dick rather than mind. But it was too late to realize. In the court of Ace Taylor there is no second chance. One mistake, and the man is finished. He is a good pay master but a very strict boss and Pennsylvania university comes strictly under his jurisdiction no matter what's the name he is associated with."Finished pulling your foolish stunts? Now come home." He pulled Scarlet out of the scene where gossiping had already started.Scarlet kept staring at him as he guided her to his car and asked in innocence. "What happened? Why were you angry with the principal and why was he on his knees begging before you to save him?"Ace was already a burning sun ball by then. He
The next morning was a weekend. Ace knew Scarlet had to go to the university since she was having examinations.Last week when the exams were conducted, Angel was sick and Scarlett took a few days leave from college to look after her. Thus she missed her tests.Ace made Scarlett apply for re-exam and got it approved. She shouldn't be missing her high grades at any cost, especially because of him or Angel. Otherwise it will kill him every second with guilt.This morning he got up early and cooked breakfast for her since the previous night she stayed till late mid-night to study."Good morning!" He greeted Scarlett when she went into the kitchen to cook something for breakfast.
Ace released her with a jerk. He narrowed his eyes and observed Scarlet. "What is it with you? At one moment you are angry and irritated, completely against me coming here and rendering your sermons of self-dependence and the next moment you're too happy with eyes dancing in happiness as if you have received an Oscar for your acting skills? Why are you bipolar? Is everything with you okay, Scarlet?"Just why did he come here? The self-conceited asshole calls me bipolar. What about him? He is extremely jovial and light cracking jokes this second and the next he looks like he is about to kill.Scarlet made a face looking at Ace and then stared around at the people peering back at them like two people on the front cover of a romance novel.
After Brianna left Ace became a living corpse. In the initial years, he used to come home every day drunk and Margaret was worried about his future with their little granddaughter. That's when she dropped the idea of providing a nanny to little Angel.With the nanny's advent, Margaret will not have any information about her son's life but now he visits her every day to pick up his daughter because of which she would know the whereabouts of Ace.Ace also has to stay sober to handle Angel from the time he picks her up. Margaret is at peace now with the advent of Scarlet in the family. There is someone to watch over her son and granddaughter and hopefully Ace turns up to be a better human andfather.*****It was
