Pick me up

STACY’S POV.This foolish girl! She thought she was just going to come and snatch Jace from me? After working hard for years just so I could have a place with him, a place in his heart, this naive Anastasia wanted to ruin my plans but was too sad for her because I was two steps ahead.Now look who is lying unconscious and helpless.As I was rejoicing, all pumped up to ruin Anastasia’s ego, a call came in.I rushed for my phone and behold, it was Jace.I was surprised to see his call for the second time and wondered why he had called back again in less than two-minute intervals.“Is everything fine Jace? Have you heard anything from Anastasia?” I uttered the call.He assured me there was nothing to worry about but I had to get ready for something I knew nothing about.My lips drifted apart upon hearing this, I was confused.“Get ready for what?”“At least let me end my statement.” He responded almost immediately.I apologized for being too forward and hence I gave him a breathing space

Appearances

JACE'S POVThe wind had picked up its pace by the time I got to Stacy's house. A quick glance at my clock showed the time to be a couple of minutes past seven and suddenly, the darkening skies made sense. In less than thirty minutes the stars would be out, illuminating the night sky.A sigh slid past my lips. Why was I anticipating the stars? I had no idea.I pulled myself back to the present as I stared at Stacy's door. For some strange reason, I was particularly eager to go in and see her. Hell, I didn't even want to attend this business meeting either her. But it was inevitable at this point. There was no turning back and this whole situation was caused by one person; Anastasia.Finally, I took in a deep breath as I climbed the little stairs that led to her front door. I Knocked once, twice as I waited for a response, one that didn't take a lot of time to get."Who's there?" Stacy's voice came from inside. I could literally smell her excitement from out here. " Who is it?""Open up

Ecstasy

Liam's POVA smile crept onto my lips as I stared at the woman sprawled on the bed, just barely covered up and next to me. Her hair was spread out all around her, forming the image of some kind of angel's halo. She looked like one if I was being frank and I would no doubt call her one, but only if the circumstances were different.Life really was cruel, and yes, the circumstances were different.I mentally patted myself for a job well done. Right from the moment I picked up my phone to start recording, I just knew it was going to be a masterpiece and that it would work very well. Too well if you asked me.I darted my gaze back to the girl, she was still unconscious and at peace too. Maybe if she knew the danger that was lurking ahead,it would spur her awake. But it could happen, at least not now, Stacy and I had made sure of it.I saved the video on my phone as I pressed the gadget into my palm. I'd almost missed it, but then I remembered Stacy's instructions to me.Call me, the momen

Thrown off the roof

Stacy's POVThe moment Jace's Mercedes pulls to a stop at the entrance of the chosen venue, a sense of dread washes over me. There's no way it could be. It just wasn't possible. I was probably hallucinating or perhaps Jace had to make a quick stop to grab something. Yes, that had to be it. Right?But the more I watched Jace with hooded eyes, as he expertly turned the wheels around to find the perfect parking spot, my heart sunk deeper and deeper. If he was just making a quick stop then it didn't matter where he parked right? Him touring the hotel grounds for a suitable place to park was absolutely not necessary."Jace?" I called out, a hint of uncertainty in my voice. He hunmed in response, his eyes still trained on the road. " What are we doing here?""I don't understand." He replied, a bit absentmindedly. " Is that even supposed to be a question? You know why we're here, don't you? So I need to find a parking spot."" Is the event holding here?" I gasped, genuinely shocked to the

Excusing myself

Jace’s POVUnder the light dim but bright enough to see others that sat at the table with me, I zoned out occasionally as they only talked business matters. I inhaled sharply and exhaled slowly, I wanted the business deal to be finalized soon.“Jace…” A feminine voice called out.Stacy walked in looking ravishing as always and all the men’s attention was turned to her direction. She’s always had an effect on men. Her fingers trailed on the table which made a loud but pleasing sound and she walked directly towards me.I felt relieved as I wanted to ask her of Scarlet’s whereabouts but she surprised me and everyone seated by sitting on my laps and wrapped her hands round my neck.She l0ooked at me affectionately and smiled, I was perplexed by her actions while murmurings arose from my business associates.“Stacy?” I asked in a bit of shock.She chuckled, gently patted my shoulders and took a quick glance at the men who were tensed by the shocking situation before turning to face me. I t

Shocked and in disbelief

Stacy’s POVJace was stunned at the drama and stunt that I pulled in front of his business associate but I needed to go the extra mile to get his attention and get what I want, he was repulsed at it at first but I decided to pull my triumph card.After threatening him with our relationship, he concurred to my wishes and was scared of losing our friendship. Our alliance had gone a long way and I was too valuable to be discarded.I knew no one else had the audacity to do what I did but I wanted to be the only person to have that effect on him and not Scarlet. I chose the perfect location so he wouldn’t be able to turn me down.Seeing that he was ready to do as I wish, I teased him and since he was a man that stood by his word I made a mental calculation on the time frame needed for him to get the flowers and it was more than enough for me to put things in place.Feeling contented for accomplishing the first phase of my mission I went upstairs, called Jace and told him to come find me. I

To get out

Jace’s POVImmediately Stacy left I messaged one of my men and ordered a bouquet of Stacy’s favorite flowers, fifteen minutes later; it was delivered and my business associates couldn’t help but talk about just business.Our little interaction had shut their mouth and clarified any doubts concerning my relationship with Stacy. I excused myself politely.“Gentleman, you’ll have to excuse me for few minutes, I have to salvage my friendship with my best friend.” I said lightly.They laughed and gave me their consent. I perceived the scent of the flowers, put a hand in my pocket and headed for the rooms upstairs. I took the elevator and hummed a lovely tune.I chuckled at how childish Stacy was, one of the reasons I stayed friends with her was her competitive spirit, she would never back down from a business proposal or contract until she won it.Stacy stayed with me when I still struggled to build my empire, many girls were with me but only for the money. She had no ulterior motive and o

Get to the bottom of things

Annastasia’s POVMy eyes flew open as I felt cold water been poured on me, i closed my eyes almost immediately as I found it hard to adjust to the amount of light that entered my eye. I could feel other’s presence in the room as well and discovered I wasn’t alone.A man was beside me and he was hastily wearing his clothes, I asked who he was but he gave me no response and looked fearfully towards the entrance, my eyes trailed down towards the direction only to see Jace.My nausea made matters worse as I vomited, I felt irritated by something but couldn’t pinpoint what it was but it made me dizzy and weak.I was as shocked as he was and confused as well but he was quick to jump into conclusions, I felt my heart been torn into pieces and shredded into fragments that can never be made into a whole as he called me a whore.He proceeded to call me a slut, horrible and disgusting person, each word of his was like a dagger that tore my soul into pieces but I was still confused at what was ha

Alighting

Jace’s POVAs I stormed off; I had no other wish than to be alone and vent out my built up frustration, anger and feeling of betrayal. I hated being helpless and weak in front of others but my reputation would be at stake if I left the meeting abruptly.Scarlet had done enough psychological and emotional damage to me, I wasn’t going to let the whore affect my s=business so I headed for the meeting room instead. Never had I for once imagined that she would betray me.She had always posed as a weak, gentle and innocent woman but Stacy’s childishness today has opened my eyes to the truth and dark secret of the slut I called a wife.Stacy trailed behind me and tried to calm me down.“Calm down Jace, don’t get all worked up.” She said worriedly.I tried to smile but I couldn’t hide my foul mood and scowled instead, as I approached the door to the conference room where the meeting was ongoing she blocked my path and wouldn’t let me go in, I eyed her confusedly.“Move.” I ordered.“No, I can

Alone with him

Anastasia’s POV—Was that who I thought I had just seen?I glanced closer and for some weird reason it felt like I saw Liam, but how is that supposed to make any sense if I had just left Liam and how did I even get here in te first place for all I could remember was being with Liam and now I am here and now he is suddenly sneaking around, he can’t possibly be faster than me? And maybe was in two places at once as everything seemed to confuse me.I decided to walk up to him and question why I had seen him there. I adjusted my bag and paced towards we’re I thought I had just seen Liam only for me to get there and he was nowhere to be found.I became a bit nervous but still continued to walk closer to where I had seen Liam but he really wasn’t anywhere around.“Liam,” I whispered at first with a bit of fright clearly in my voice as I continued to move closer,“Liam?” I called out again as I got closer but he wasn’t there, was I just seeing things? I made sure to walk closer to the scene
