The Trap Of Ace

Chapter 54

Read The Trap Of Ace [by Eva Zahan] Chapter 54 – My eyes squinted against the bright light as soon as the room lit up. And then I found the person who dragged me in this room.

Dark orbs watched me silently.

My fists clenched. “What the h**l is this, Arthur?”

His head cocked to the side. “You don’t even know what h**l is. Trust me, I haven’t done anything yet to compare it with h**l.”

I frowned. “What do you mean?”

A muscle of his jaw ticked, his aged left eye twitched. “I’ll just say five words, Emerald.” Disgust dripped from his voice as he took my name. “Stay out of my path.”

My forehead creased more in confusion. What was he talking about?

And then realization hit me. A shiver ran down my spine at the malice that his dark soulless eyes held.

“What are you trying to say, Arthur?” I kept my voice as strong as I could.

He found out. He found out of my quest. But I didn’t know how much he knew.

He let out a humourless chuckle. “You exactly know what I’m talking about. You really thought that you’d try to dig out my past and my secrets, and I wouldn’t find out?”

When I didn’t say anything, his lips curled into a sneer.

“Surprised that how did I know?” he mocked. “Well, from the day you saw me with Sierra at that hotel, I knew you wouldn’t keep quiet. You’d go after her asking about me. And you did, just as I assumed! And then I found out that the worthless ex-boyfriend of yours had his cousin after me. Do you think I’m that unaware and foolish?”

I took a step back as he took a threatening step towards me. With my eyes wide, my heart pounded down my heart. Not because I was scared of him, but because he now knew about Warner and his cousin’s involvement with this matter.

S**t! I didn’t plan this! I didn’t want him to hurt them in any way because of me.

Be strong, Em! Don’t show him your weakness. Don’t let him threaten you just like he did to Liza and Sierra.

Holding my chin high, I held his gaze. “I don’t need to think you’re a fool. You are a fool.”

His nostrils flared at my comment.

“Anyone who would dare to go against Ace will be considered as a fool. Do you really think you can go and backstab him on his back and he would just let you leave like that? Just because you’re his uncle?” I snorted. “It’s just some matter of time until I tell him what you do under your respected businessman facade and he’ll throw you out of this company like a fly from the milk.”

A smirk tugged on his lips. “You think you’ll tell him and he’ll believe you? What proof do you have against me?”

Nothing. That’s why I was stalling time to reveal your betraying a*s before him.

I kept a straight face. “Do you think he’ll need any proof when his Rosebud will say something to him?”

His smirk slipped from his face. Even I knew Ace wouldn’t just wave my words off, but I just wanted to have some solid proof. And now that he was standing here before me warning me off, I didn’t need any other proof.
