Ace's POVI shut the door on my brother's face, then pinned Angel’s back against the very same door. My brother was trying so hard to push the door open, but I had my other hand blocking his attempts.Angel’s tiny neck was in my grip. It felt quite satisfying because that's what I practiced my whole life. She’s lost her defiance; begging for her breath, her tear glands working overtime.“I will kill you, Angel. Don't try me. Just because I was soft on you the past week, doesn't mean you’ll have your way. Got that, little wife?” I roared with my teeth clenched.She tried to speak, but all that could be heard were her groans of pain.I continued, “If you and my brother are fucking, I swear I will have your blood on my hands. I’ve killed hundreds of people before, you’ll just be another one of them. You should never long to see me angry, ever?” Angel started shaking at the mention of me killing people. She struggled letting her sobs come out, I was still blocking her windpipe. She was o

Ace’s POV“Yes, please tell me. Because I thought you were going to kill me this time," Angel explained. Even though I was looking away, I could feel her piercing gaze.I debated whether or not to inform her already, and opted against it. She wasn't prepared to hear any of it. She wasn't prepared to hear her twisted family's heartbreaking dark secrets. Most significantly, she wasn't ready to learn I'd been watching her since she was born. The more I thought about her family, particularly her father, the angrier I became with her. But I kept my cool.I sighed, “Some other time, not today.”“Ace,” she paused a bit, then continued; “Just tell me what I'm doing in this marriage. It feels like hell on earth each passing day. Just tell me the truth, clearly you're hiding something, that's apparently bigger than my life. What fate have you and my father decided for me? I'm losing my mind trying to come to terms with the situation I'm in, for god's sake just tell me.” She muttered with he

Ace’s POV"She's in a coma," the doctor said, his attention shifting from me to Luis."What do you mean, doctor?" my heart sank, my eyes widened. "No, don't be afraid. It's nothing. It's a coma that has been medically induced. This sort of transient coma, or deep state of unconsciousness, is induced after an accident to protect the brain from swelling and allow the body to recuperate. The patient is given a controlled dose of an anaesthetic, resulting in a loss of feeling or awareness. We'll keep a watch on her vitals." He elaborated. "But why?" Was an induced coma needed, doctor?" For the first time since the doctor left the OT room, Luis uttered.“Yes. The intensity at which she hit the wall was high. It feels as though…there was a push.” I should have taken her to my doctor instead. But I obliged with my brother's demands. Now, if this doctor becomes invested in this, it may potentially reach the police. I'm not afraid of them; I just try to avoid getting into problems because o

Sarah’s POVAs soon I got off a call with Luis, informing me Angel was in the hospital, I hopped into my car and drove as fast as I could. I didn't realize I cared that much about her until today. She's always been someone I pitied but never have I thought I'd go to those extents for.I arrived at the hospital reception area where Luis was sitting, waiting. He spotted me and came up to me while I was still conversing with the receptionist.“Sarah, you made it!” He mumbled from behind. His voice in a hopeless tone.“Yeah! Where is that one?” I grumbled, looking around behind him for any signs of Ace. Luis sighed and threw his hands in the air. “He left. He had to meet with father. I just don't know how it's going to go, and I doubt it's even about Angel in the first place. He looked worried since a few days.”“Yeah!” I whispered under my breath, my gaze peeping into his. I could tell he was fighting really heavy emotions.“How do you feel? I know you like her,” I said, forcing a smil

Luis' POVWithin less than a minute, the doctor came in running. “Mr Kingston?” He uttered as he paced up to us.Sharon retrieved her ID card and put it on his face, startling him.“Detective Sharon, FBI. This is my friend, attorney general Luis Kingston. We want Angel Jackie-Kingston discharged now, to assist in further investigations by the police. We have a discharge warrant with us,” she took out a folded paper from her pocket and presented it.The doctor ran his eyes through the paper and swallowed hard. “You know she's in a coma, right? Do you have a doctor organised to take care of her during your investigation? She's your client but she's my patient, and I have to make sure she's going to be alright,” he said, nodding, shifting his focus from Sharon to me. “Yes Doctor. We appreciate your concern for your patient. It shows nothing but diligence and your well-deserved trustworthiness. But we assure you, all is taken care of. It's all written in the paper you're holding.” Shar
