The Trap Of Ace

Chapter 31

Read The Trap Of Ace [by Eva Zahan] Chapter 31 – “What are you talking about? I’m not escaping you,” I excused, not really meeting his eyes.

“Really? Then what was that at the lobby?” Gaze hard.

Surprise lit in me. He saw me?

D**n! I knew I’d gained weight. My fat a*s couldn’t even run faster!

“W-what was what? What did I do now?” I feigned innocent.

His lips pressed together in annoyance. “You ran away seeing me.”

I shrugged. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I was already late for office. And a lot of work was piled up. I was busy. You’re just mistaken.”

“Busy talking to my employee?” he asked, nostrils flaring.

My eyes widened. How did he know that I was talking to Matt?

Was he keeping an eye on me now? Could this man be anymore weird?

“You don’t have time for me but you do have time to talk to another man?” I staggered back as he took slow steps towards me, like a predator approaching his prey. “How many times do I have to tell you I don’t like seeing you with other men? You seem to be fond of him too much.” A muscle of his jaw ticked, hands curled into tight fists.

In another time I’d have told him off, saying that he didn’t have any right to decide whom I will talk to and whom I wouldn’t. But at this moment, I decided to cool him down first.

“I- I was just talking to him about work. And yes, I do like him. But just as a friend. Nothing else.”

My heart skipped when my back hit the wall and I realized that I’d no other way to escape anymore, with him standing just a hand away from me.

I was stuck between him and the wall.

Closing the rest of the distance, he put his hands at the both sides of my head on the wall, trapping me completely.

Leaning closer, he said, “And it’s better if it remains that way. It’d be good for him.”

I frowned at his warning. “What’s wrong with you? You’re behaving like a caveman!”

My breath hitched as he pulled me flush against him, resting his forehead against mine. The heady scent of his had me light-headed. “You’re mine, Rosebud. And I can be worse when it comes to you.”

Staring in his stormy grey, I went speechless at the intensity of his words.

“I was going mad since last night, thinking what’d be your answer. And you weren’t even picking up my calls or answering my messages.” He sighed, brushing his thumb on my cheek. “I was even outside of your house last night, but seeing the lights of your room off, I’d to go back.”

I gasped. “You were outside my house? Why?”

“For your answer.”
