The Trap Of Ace

Chapter 59

Read The Trap Of Ace [by Eva Zahan] Chapter 59 – “Ace?” I called again, but the shadow didn’t move.

Padding closer, I squinted my eyes. The lightning that cracked outside left a flash of luster on his face for a fleeting second. Stormy grey eyes were set on me. But they were dark tonight. Much stormier than I’d even encountered.

I let out a sigh of relief. “What the h**l is wrong with you? You almost gave me a heart a****k!”

When he didn’t answer, I found the switch and turned the lights on.

And there he was.

Still in his last night’s pants and a fresh black shirt, the one he must have worn before storming out, his disheveled form sat silently on the couch. Some of the buttons of his shirt were undone, giving me a sinful sight.

Even the dark circles under his eyes and a day’s of old stubble didn’t do anything to make him look any less sexier.

I missed him.

I gave myself an inner shake. It wasn’t a time to drool over him.

“So you finally got time to come back?” My tone sharp. Wasn’t I planning to give him a silent treatment?

I pressed my lips together when he just continued to stare at me with his icy cold gaze without saying a word.

“I’m talking to you! Where were you the whole night and the entire day? I was going crazy out of concern!”

“You were concerned about me? I thought you were too busy spending a nice time with your special friend.” His cold voice came out with his head tilted to the side.

Special friend? What was he talking…

Oh!

But how did he find out about Warner? He wasn’t even here.

Crossing my arms over my chest, I held a straight face. “I don’t think it should bother you if I spend a little time with my friend.”

“Of course, it should bother me!” He snapped, shooting up to his legs. And my flinching back at his thunderous voice was immediate. “My woman is getting cozy with her ex-boyfriend at my back in my own house, and you’re saying it shouldn’t bother me? It does f*****g bother me!”

I stilled.

At his back?

“A-at your back? What are you trying to imply, Ace?” I asked. It was more like a whisper.

My chest tightened. How could he even imagine that I’d ever do that to him?

Shock flashed over his eyes in place of rage as realization of his own words hit him. “I meant…” Tone thick. “When I wasn’t present here. What was he doing here in my penthouse? How did you even let him in? Even after knowing how’d I feel about it? Even after knowing how he feels about you!”

“Oh, I’m so sorry! I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to let my friends in your penthouse. I’d have definitely asked for your permission if you were available on the phone.” I faked a sweet smile.

I thought it was our home…

I blinked away the b**n in my eyes. Was he even aware of the fact that how he was hurting me getting lost into his anger and jealousy?

His fists clenched. “Emerald, don’t test my patience. You know very well what I’m talking about.”
