The Trap Of Ace

Chapter 62

Read The Trap Of Ace [by Eva Zahan] Chapter 62 – Letting out a cry, I got up from the floor and ran to him. His strong arms wrapped around me as protective wings as soon as I reached him.

I shook in his chest as hot tears ran down my cheeks. With my heart still pounding from panic, knees weak, I clung to him as if my life was depending on him.

“Rosebud?” he called out. “Hey, hey! Baby, look at me, are you alright? What happened? What did he do? Tell me?” Cupping my face, he attempted to make me look at him, but I hid my face in his warm chest again, still trembling from what just happened.

“He… he…” I hiccuped in between my sobs, not being able to form any words. His arms tightened around me.

I could feel his turning all rigid, the way his muscles tensed. His hands shook around me. His breathing came out heavy.

“WHAT DID YOU DO?” Deep Greek accent echoed in his voice, tone darker and rougher than I had ever heard. “What had you done to my Rosebud?”

The malice in his voice would’ve sent a shiver down my spine if I wasn’t too absorbed in my own shock now. My hold only tightened around him.

“She’s not yours! She’s my girlfriend! You stole her from me!” Warner’s slurred reply reached my ears, rising a vile up my throat. “I was just trying to get what’s rightfully…”

He didn’t get to finish the line as Ace untangled me from him and stormed towards him, connecting his fist with Warner’s jaw. A faint crack reached my ears. With a hiss when he fell on the ground, Ace grabbed his collar and pulled him up.

“You f*****g piece of s**t! You dared to touch my Rosebud!” His thunderous roar echoed throughout the hotel room, making me flinch. His almost dark orbs flared with untamed rage, redness spread across his face and neck when the veins of his temple stood up with him shaking with anger.

“Let go of me, you b*****d! I’ll k**l.. oomph!” Warner let out a cry when Ace’s polished shoe met his stomach. And as if a demon was unleashed in him, he didn’t stop.

“You’ll regret the moment you took birth in this world! How dare you touch her! Even after I warned you twice, you still dared to come near her!” Blinded with fury, he continuously punched Warner’s already bloodied face. Warner’s whimpers and yelling out in agony went unheard by him as he twisted his arm and kicked him in the stomach again, making Warner cough out blood.

“I’ll f*****g destroy you!” He roared again.

Clutching the door frame to keep balance with my wobbling knees, I called out for him. “Ace… stop!”

But my voice didn’t seem to reach him. Employees of the hotel rushed inside the room hearing the chaos. But no one seemed to have enough courage to get close to him.

Warner whimpered as Ace delivered another punch against his jaw.

“Ace! Please, stop!” I cried, my voice cracked. “Stop it! You’ll k**l him!”

I didn’t want to stay here anymore. I just needed his arms around me right now. I wanted him to get me away from this place.

“He dared to touch you! I’ll f*****g k**l him!” He sneered. Some of the hotel employees finally went forward and tried to get him off of Warner, but he shrugged them away and went for him again.

“Ace, please! I- I need you,” I said, more tears sprung out of my eyes as I slid down on the floor, not being able to stand up anymore. “Please, stop!”

And that got his attention as his murderous gaze fell on me. Realization of my need for him right now flashed over his features. Soon concern took the place of his anger. Throwing Warner on the floor, he rushed to me and scooped me in his arms.

“Rosebud, I’m so sorry, baby! I’m here! Everything will be alright!” he said, pulling me into his chest.

Though his voice was soft, the anger still lurked around. He placed his lips on my forehead as I let out a whimper.

“No one will come near to you. I won’t let anyone touch even a strand of your hair, my Rosebud. I promise you that! Don’t cry, baby.”

The chaos around the room and people’s whispers went vague in my ears. I only concentrated on his soothing voice.

“Get me away from here,” I whispered. My hands clutched his shirt in my fist in a vice grip.

Nodding his head, he stood up with me in his arms. My head didn’t move away from his chest, nor did my grip on him loosened.

“Let’s go home.” Placing another kiss on my forehead, he walked out of the room. And I didn’t even dare to look back.
