Chapter 50
Lena's POV Karl always had his way of making me crawl back to him like a dog. I knew his methods but again, I was not familiar with it enough to be avle to identify it this time around when I saw my phone ring.A part of me was conflicted on what I was supposed to do. I could not answer it. Assert the dominance I was slowly beginning to realize I had to set, those boundaries that he always crossed now seeming like too much for me as I took in another lengthy sigh. I eventually decided against it, picking up the call." What do you want?"" What do I want? Is that how you talk to me now?"His voice was a different kind of annoying today. Maybe it was because I finally realized just how far he would go to hurt me, or maybe my head was still too sore from when I hit it on the bathtub but whatever the reason was, anger pulsated through me." I asked what you wanted. Or do you want to call more men to beat me up for something I did not do?"He gave a light chuckle like my safety has neve
Chapter 49
Ace's POV I was used to these kinds of conferences. The ones with the large lights and the inquisitive eyes of the reporters as they analyzed every detail of your movement, from your fingers tapping too quickly on the table down to the perspiration that glistened on your head.The few times I have been in a setting like this was to clear the air on a company mishap, but definitely not to hide a scandal that threatened to end the life of Lena.I took in a breath, my mind finally escaping the mental prison I set it in and walking back to my head." Mr ace! What do you have to say about the conference miss Clara held? Is this for real? Are you and Miss Lena having an affair?"I stared at the rows of sheets I had prepared before I came in." No we are not. It was a misunderstanding"" So you are trying to say your wife lied to the public?"Another trick question. How the heck was I supposed to manipulate this without making either of us look bad?" No also, she judged it from the perspec
Chapter 48
Ace's POV I did not want to go to her. I knew I was playing directly into her trap if I decided to do that but somehow, I still found myself walking into that house, the anger still sitting in my chest, almost suffocating as I stepped in.She looked up from her bowl of Nutella and nuts, her eyes lighting like I was the best thing she had seen this evening." Oh there you are! I was beginning to think you won't show up since you spoke so much about hating me and stuff"I gritted my teeth." What do you want to say?"She hummed, showing me her bowl." You won't believe just how crazy these pregnancy cravings can get. I even want you to come sit with me and rub my stomach and my hair and tell me that everything is going to be fine but of course I know that will be me asking for too much"I resisted the urge to sigh at her, choosing instead to lower myself into one of the high stool, totally fed up by her bullshit." If you don't start talking about what you truly want, I will go out tha
Chapter 47
Ace's POV She was huddled up inside the bathtub, her hands bleeding slowly as her eyes flickered open and close, body rigid with fear.Shit. No, no!I walked over quickly, bending down and scooping her into my arms and rushing out of the house.She seemed to have lost a lot of blood from her hand wound and whatever it was that caused that wound was nowhere to be found.I knew I broke more than a few custom rules speeding towards the hospital but I did not care.I dashed in, still gdokong a slumbering Lena in my hands as my heart thudded too damn loudly in my chest." Please help her, she is loosing consciousness and she has lost a lot of blood?! Help her somebody!!" I yelled.The two nurses snapped out of their haze, wheeling out a stretcher and letting me drop her on it while they wheeled her to a room.I tried to follow, aware that my suit was now stained crimson red with her blood but one of the nurses stopped me." Please stay here first for a minute. We will let you go in once t
Chapter 46
Ace's POV That was the thing about Clara, I always underestimated her.I underestimated how sturbborn she could be, how wicked she really was and just how far she would go to get her manipulation tactics approved." And I don't know, I really really tried to hold on to this marriage but it's not working. I know that Lena is behind all of this too. I know she is the one who posts articles about me being a cheat and those AI generated images of me sleeping with multiple men.I never did those things. I'm calling out to the public today as a wife and a mother who doesn't want her child to grow up in a broken marriage, please help me save my marriage from this home wrecker"That was the wrap of the conference that bitch held. She went on fucking live television to soil the name of Lena and turn the whole public against her like she was not the one who started this whole charade in the first place.I felt my head banging as I closed the laptop to stare at the board members who sat around
Chapter 45
Lena's POV The invite came just when I was going out to grab lunch for Karl.I stared at the small rosy invitation, wondering what Ace was up to now as I liked behind me to make sure karl was not lurking anywhere before I pulled the Invite open.A Japanese festival, for the rich and classy and I was supposed to be going as his plus one.My eyes dropped as I stared at it again before stuffing it into my purse.I pulled out my phone, my tone angry as I spoke." Did you get the Invite already? I was not expecting you to call so soon"My head ached. Why the hell was he so adamant in putting me into trouble." And what is it for? I don't understand I thought I asked you not to send things like this?"There was a pause at the other end of the phone before he sighed." Well I wasn't going to but I just served Clara the divorce papers and she came into my office two days ago, talking about how I had to take her there and stuff. I know I shouldn't have, but I told her I would be going with yo
