The Trap Of Ace

Chapter 72

Read The Trap Of Ace [by Eva Zahan] Chapter 72 – Across the open field, a black car that I knew really well passed through the empty road. No other sign of vehicle or human was there.

Then a truck sped through the field, going directly to the car.

I tensed. The rate of my heart beat peaked up. I had to stop it.

But when I tried to open my mouth to say something, yell his name, my body didn’t move. A panic set in when I attempted to open my eyes but they didn’t move either.

No!

I watched as the truck neared the car with full speed. It was going to hit it!

A desperation to stop it rolled inside, making me restless. I wanted to move but as if my body got p*******d, I couldn’t move even how much I wanted to.

I wanted to scream, thrash to be set from whatever that held me back. I wanted to stop that truck. But all I could do was watch as the truck went ahead and hit the car with a force that it flew across the road, flipping over, a fire immediately set on it.

“Ace!” I shot my eyes open, my vision blurred with tears. “No! No, no! Ace! Please nooo!!” Jolting up, I tried to get up, but a pair of arms held me back as I thrashed into their hold.

I didn’t know where I was, I didn’t see, I didn’t hear. All I could think and see was the accident. The horrible car accident, the same car my Ace was in.

“My Ace needs me! He needs me! Let me go!” I screamed, continuing fighting.

“Rosebud, Rosebud, calm down! I’m here. I’m here with you baby, just calm down!” A voice reached my ears but I couldn’t really concentrate on it.

“Let me go! My Ace needs me! Please…”

“Rosebud, look at me!” Cupping my face, he made me look at him.

“No…” My voice caught at my throat as his stormy grey eyes met mine. They held concern and the same affection they always bore for me there.

Then I realized where I was.

I was in the arms of my Ace.

“Ace…” a whisper left my lips, eyes not moving from his beautiful face.

He nodded, kissing my forehead. “Yes, baby. Your Ace, I’m here with you. I’m fine, and so you’re. Everything is alright now, sweetheart. Calm down. Everything is fine.”

“You… you’re here. You’re here with me. You’re alright.” Touching his face, shoulder and chest to console my heart that he was really there, I let out a sob and wrapped my arms around him.

Taking me in the cocoon of his arms, he held me close, nuzzling his face in my neck.

“I- I thought I lost you! I… I was so scared. I thought you left me. I- I saw the video, I…” Sentences came out uncompleted from my mouth in between my sob. I couldn’t talk without stuttering.

But the tightness of my chest was slowly dissipating as I had him in my arms.
