Ace checked the brakes and realized that they were indeed faulty. He noticed that Ava wasn't putting on her seat belt and told her to do so immediately. Ava was already panicking. She stared at Ace with a guilty expression and said, "there's no seatbelt, Ace."Ace stared at where the seatbelt was meant to be and instantly knew that Ava had been plotted against, and the enemy's plan was most certainly to send her to her death. He recalled how Gina had once visited her in his room and knew that this was either her plan or his fathers' since none of his underlings had the liver to openly go against him in such a way. He also thought of the possibility of Gina and his father working together to get rid of Ava and sighed sadly.Ava did not trust Gina from the start. She had only thought that Gina was trying to send her away from Ace for her own selfish motives but she had no idea that Gina could go this far. When she had already agreed to everything Gina wanted, why did she see the need

When Richard went into the church, he saw the priest standing at the altar and speaking on the phone. He seemed really upset and Richard wondered if it was because Ace and Ava had passed through the church.He took out his badge and showed it to the priest, causing the latter to sigh in relief. He realized that the gun in his hand may have made the priest uncomfortable and hid it in his jacket as he asked, "did you see an injured guy and girl pass through here?"The priest said, "yes, they went out through that door." He pointed at the door Ava and Ace had used.Richard thanked the priest and quickly hurried out of the church. When he came out, there was no sign of either of them but he did see an unconscious man on the ground and knew that Ace must have put him in that condition.He went to the man and just at that moment, the man opened his eyes. Richard heaved a sigh of relief and took out his badge while the man got up and began screaming for his car.Richard showed the man his ba

Ava pulled her hand away and said, "just hold on, Ace, I will be right back."Ace tried to tell Ava that there were more than enough medical supplies in the store but he could barely form the words. He watched in frustration as she went up the ladder. Ava stopped halfway and stared at the gun, wondering if it was a good idea to carry it. She did not know if Ace's enemies were lurking outside or inside the supermarket but she also knew that she would not be able to pull the trigger.She thought about it briefly and gave up the idea of carrying the gun. It was better not to attract attention with it. She quickly typed in the code and the door opened. After that, she pushed up the rug and came out. She left it open, just in case she needed to hurry back.As she got to the door, she peeped to see if there was anyone outside but there was no one. She knew it was because the room was at the back and it was a private room. This was an added advantage for her though. She slowly and quietly o

Ava had no idea about what to say to Ace. She just kept staring at him while her heart was beating fast. Eventually, she could not look at him anymore. She stood up and ran toward the kitchen.She closed the door of the kitchen when she got in and placed her hands on her heart which was beating very fast. "What is going on with me?" She asked herself.She knew she did not love Ace because she was still in love with Damon. But why was her heart beating fast just now? She could not even bear to look at Ace anymore because she felt shy. These things only happened when she was with Damon, what was happening to her?Ace could not understand why Ava ran away. This was the first time he had ever bared his heart out to her. Was he so bad that she couldn't even hear him out?He found her actions confusing. Sometimes, she acted as though she felt something for him, and other times she avoided him like a plague. People always said women were complicated but hers was way beyond that. Despite all

Ace's underlings searched frantically for him all over but couldn't find him. Felix was the most worried. He regretted working with Gina to go after Ava. If he had known that it would turn out this way, he never would have made such plans against her.Ace was his pride and strongest support. If he lost him, he would never be able to recover from the pain. Although he had another son from a different woman, he knew that he wasn't as capable as Ace.He wondered what spell Ava had cast on his son that made him disregard his own life and get into a car with faulty brakes. He didn't raise him to be controlled by women and Ace wasn't like this in the past. This new character he had developed was simply embarrassing, to say the least.Gina finally opened her eyes back in her mansion. The doctor told her to rest but she got up and asked the underling who had saved her, "any news on Scorpion?"He shook his head, "none, for now, boss. I checked the car though but could not find any bodies so th
