The Trap Of Ace

Chapter 60

Read The Trap Of Ace [by Eva Zahan] Chapter 60 – With clenched fists, I stood there with tears brimming into my eyes, watching him going still. Color slowly drained from his face, as his grey eyes widened to a friction.

“W-what did you say?” his deep accent asked.

“I said what you heard. If you don’t trust me at all, I don’t think this thing between us can work.” Shaking my head, I wiped my tears furiously. “I’m tired of you continuously keeping me in the dark! I’ve already suffered for years because of your one sided decision, I won’t take more. You can now happily stay in your penthouse with your stubbornness, secrets and privacy! No Emerald will nag you again and again to know your past from now on!”

Ignoring the way his shoulders tensed, the crazed look that flashed across his eyes, his clenched jaw, I turned around and stormed out of the room.

“Don’t you dare put even a step out of the penthouse, Emerald! You aren’t going anywhere!”

This time I didn’t flinch at his roar as he started to approach me. Instead, as soon as I stepped out of the room, I closed the door from outside, locking him in. I knew he wouldn’t let me leave at any cost. But if he was stubborn, so was I.

His heavy fists landed on the opposite side of the door. “What are you doing? Open the door, Emerald! You’re not leaving me! No way in h**l! I won’t let you!”

“I will! And you can’t stop me!” Yelling out, I strode towards the main door. On the way out, my phone lying on the floor caught my eyes. I picked it up.

“Emerald! Stop it! Open the door, please! You don’t mean what you’re saying! You can’t leave me!” The door jiggled with the force he was trying to open it. “Rosebud, please! Baby, open the door. You belong here with me. You can’t just leave like that. I won’t let you! Please, baby. Open the door!”

Shrugging my jacket on as I pulled the main door open, his voice made me hesitate.

“Baby, please! I- I love you…”

I gulped the thickness of my throat. My filled with tears eyes went back to the closed door of his bedroom.

Should I leave?

Then the words he spit out earlier rang into my head again. The ache in my heart added fresh fuel to my anger. Gritting my teeth, I wiped my cheeks furiously.

“Goodbye, Achilles Valencian!”

“No! Don’t you dare, Emerald…”

I slammed the door close behind me stepping outside, and the sound of his violent pounding on the bedroom’s door stopped along.

I strode towards the elevator as fast as I could. My heart pounded along the relentless pouring of my tears. The guards’ heads turned to me, definitely thinking of my disheveled appearance. And the moment I stepped into the elevator, a distant thump reached my ears.
