The Trap Of Ace

Chapter 30

Read The Trap Of Ace [by Eva Zahan] Chapter 30 – Twirling the spoon into the mug, I mixed the sugar with my tea. Steam stopped dissipating from the beverage, but my moving the spoon didn’t halt. I was too lost into my thoughts.

I’ve always wanted you for myself.

Come on a date with me. You’ll get all your answers.

His words haven’t left my head since last night. Even at night, I couldn’t sleep due to his revelation and proposal. Proposal to go on a date with him. And as usual, not being able to give him any answers or make a decision, I ran away.

After returning home, when I recalled everything that happened out there at the hotel, I was stunned by my own doings. The jealousy, the kiss, and then demanding answers from him.

Last night I was too brave to pull off the stunts I’d never thought I’d do. But the bravery didn’t stay long when it was an actual time to do something.

It wasn’t my fault. First I kissed him, and then I asked him the questions that had been running in my head for so long. Yes, I was going to do that sooner or later, but I wasn’t prepared for that yet. It just came out of me. And when he opened his mouth, I was shocked and surprised. And his condition to disclose the truth had me dumbfounded.

Being confused and overwhelmed with emotions, I didn’t know what to say.

I still didn’t know.

I’d ignored his calls and messages. I was even k*****g the time so that I didn’t have to go to the office early today. Why? Because I was too nervous to face him.

The blare of my phone snapped me out of my trance.

My heart skipped.

Is it him again?

Disappointment and relief flooded over me at once when I read Casie’s name flashing over the screen. Disappointment because it wasn’t him, relief because I didn’t have to force myself to ignore him again so that I could get more time to think of an answer.

“Hey, what’s up?” Setting the spoon away, I took a sip of the cold tea.

“Should I take the disinterest of your voice that you aren’t happy getting my call?” Her tone accusing.

I rolled my eyes. “It’s nothing like that. Just having a bad day.”

She hummed, “Had a fight with Romeo?”

“Whom are you talking about?”

“Duh! Who’d be the Romeo of our Juliette other than Achilles Valencian?”

I shook my head at her. Even being sassy and sarcastic, in secret she was into Shakespeare’s romance.

“No, we didn’t have any fight. But…” I sighed.
