Ace Book Novels & Stories

SERA The late afternoon sun streamed through the tall curtains, casting a golden glow over the towering bookshelves lining the walls. In the middle of the room, Ace sat on a deep red sofa, looking annoyingly composed—shoulders relaxed, legs crossed, a book resting on his lap like it was just another accessory. I stood at the doorway, took a deep breath. Without even bothering to look up, he asked, “Are you here out of guilt or intention?” I closed the door quietly. “Maybe a bit of both.”

Ace nodded and finished his breakfast then he left for the office. At office Ace entered his cabin and called Amelia. Amelia entered his room. "Bring my coffee" Ace said. Amelia nodded and left from there. Ace sat down on his chair and started checking the photos. After some time Amelia entered his cabin and put the coffee mug on his table. "We have a meeting in the evening. Inform your parents that you will be late today" Ace said without looking at her. Amelia nodded and left from there. The whole day passed away like this.

’ He asks. ‘I’d love to!’ Ace stands, walks over to a cupboard, and pulls out a large folder and puts it on his desk. ‘Bring your chair around,’ he says, and I push my chair around next to his, and sit down, excited to see the drawings. He opens the folder, and my breath is literally taken away. He smiles at my reaction. ‘Ace, these are amazing. I’ve never seen such beautiful dresses. This yellow one is gorgeous! Oh, and this one! Have these dresses been made already?’ I ask.

Kelsey asked in bewilderment and amazement. "Let's try it out, shall we?" Paulina asked as she turned to Ace, who was quietly munching on his cookie. "Ace?" She said as he looked up with those innocent, moss green eyes and adorable chubby cheeks. "Do you remember what you read on that big book this afternoon?" She asked him slowly as she referred to the gigantic science book she had. "You know, about those cells?"

“Sorry. It’s just... I can handle this. Just a moment.” I hurriedly carried the books before either of them insisted on helping. I can’t let them see what I’m reading, or I might just find myself in trouble. Though I’m pretty sure they’re getting confused about my reaction just now. Once I was done putting back the books, I returned to my seat and saw that my things on the table had disappeared. “Where’s—” “There you are,” Ace said when he saw me approaching. “We already packed your things. Where do you want to eat?”

- ACE - There is something about the way she looks in the morning that is captivating. Chaotic and new. It took me one second to know that I wanted to savour that look because I would never get to see that sight again. Because I would never have her in my bed till the morning comes. And was that sadness I felt in that moment? I cannot tell. I just knew right then and there that I did not want that sight to be forgotten.

"Ace the second session. . . Making out." -----

It was sweet of him, I tell ya. Taking my book for the last class of the day, I sighed as Ace continued telling me the stupid story of how he ate the perfect breakfast. When Ace starts talking, nothing can shut him up until every single detail rolls off his tongue. He told me how he cooked it, the procedure, how it was dished, its smell, and taste, how he ate it and finally, the beverage he used in flushing it down. It was none of my business, but I didn't exactly have a choice but to listen to his breakfast adventure.

It felt like he was hugging a humanoid phone on vibration. Luckily, they found the door to the kids’ dormitory. Florence was promptly led inside. After telling her not to come out, Javier took a deep breath, lifted his stick, and headed toward the ghost. “Tonight is the night when the Ace at the Apex—otherwise known as me—defeats a ghost!” he proclaimed in the corridor.

I could feel the feeling begin to return to my body and tears prick the corners of my eyes. I sucked in a deep breath and walked over to Eureka SkyDeck, paid and went up, up and up until I was at The Edge. Maybe the view of the city would help me figure things out and if it failed, well, I was going to be way high above ground and a lot could happen. I walked closer to the edge and looked down at the city. It looked so beautiful and peaceful as the afternoon sun shone onto it, illuminating most parts of it. Shame and disgrace washed over me as I continued looking down. Why did something so beautiful have to be tainted by the worst?
