The Trap Of Ace
Chapter 29
Read The Trap Of Ace [by Eva Zahan] Chapter 29 – Whirling around, I came face to face with the red witch. With arms crossed over her chest, she sized me up and down with her cat eyes. Her nose crinkled with disgust.
“I don’t know what he saw into you, but I’ve to say, you trapped him pretty well in your web.”
Biting my inner cheek, I cast the tissue into the bin and turned to her. “And guess what? I didn’t even have to throw myself on him like a shameless woman to trap him. Seems like that trick got quite old now.”
Her face turned red matching her dress, eyes flashing. “So you used the bed then? Otherwise a man like him wouldn’t even look at you if not you pleased him well. Am I right? Where did you take your classes to please a man like that anyway? He seemed so lost into you.”
My hands fisted into b***s, trying my best not to punch her plastic face. “From the same place you took your PhD. I’m sure you now got your answers. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go back inside. He must be looking for me.”
Leaving her flushed with rage, I walked out of the washroom.
B***h! How dare she?
Oh how I wanted to pull her hair out of her scalp right now!
Fuming in anger, I passed a couple wrapped around each other, pulling at their partner’s clothes out of desperation. Noticing me, they jumped away from the other like even the mare proximity burned them. Their faces flamed crimson as they shuffled into their places.
Saving them from the embarrassment, I got out of the corridor as fast as I could.
Even my own cheeks grew hot at someone’s personal spectacle. Half of it was from my anger.
Just as I passed the huge window, something caught my eye. Halting, I neared the window ledge and peeked outside. Two figures stood there under the shadow, down in the hotel garden.
I squinted my eyes. I… knew them.
Was that- Arthur?
When he ran his hand through his hair, the numerous rings on his fingers lustered under the moon. It was indeed him. Along him was a figure of a woman, but I couldn’t make out her face properly from this far.
Who was he talking to?
The woman’s shoulders shook as she placed her hand over her face. I didn’t know Arthur could crack a joke. All I saw him do was stay emotionless and cold.
Deciding it wasn’t any of my business, when I was about to go back inside, the woman stepped behind and walked away from him with her arms wrapped around her.
And when the hotel’s walkway’s light fell on her face, a gasp slipped through my lips.
Sierra?
When she wiped her cheeks, I understood that she wasn’t laughing, she was crying.
What was she doing here with Arthur? As far as I knew, her presence wasn’t required here at all. And nor was she invited here. Then why was she here?
Even the other day I saw her with him. After that day, when I went to talk to her about it I found out that she took a week’s leave due to sickness. And now she was here. She didn’t look sick to me at all.
Though she looked, exhausted.
Strange. What was going on between them?
I definitely had to talk to her. Something was wrong, I could feel it.
I watched her as she rushed into the parking lot and then got into her car, before driving away. And when I looked back at Arthur, his gaze was already on me.
