Ace POVI had to go to Alvarez for the first shipment which of course she had to start shit right before I was leaving. Every time my anger took over towards her, I felt disgusting. I hated myself and I hated how I was breaking the girl I loved but I didn't know how to stop.The way she begged me to forgive her, to love her. When I thought I left those marks on her something inside me shifted. I was so rough with her, fucked her hard while wrapping my hand around her already bruised neck. I even left a few bruises on her ass and she thought she deserved it. I was fucking drunk, drowning in myself pity that she wanted Ethan and I lost control. I didn't even know she was hurt or nearly died. How can I let her leave my side when she is so willing to walk right into danger?I realized the next morning that she was slowly losing herself at the idea of me turning my back on her. I wanted to be everything good to her and I was turning into everything that would destroy her. Everything Derek

Ace POVThe second my eyes caught hers I knew exactly what she was thinking. Elise was hanging on my shoulder boasting how generous the Blackwoods were to the right clients. I wasn't listening to anything anyone said. I was just counting the minutes until I could steal another glance at my perfect girl. I saw the anxiety and fear take over her body and I was about to race to her. She shouldn't ever have to feel hurt because of me or my father. I pushed Elise off me giving her a look that she will pay for this behavior then walked towards my angel. She pushed out the doors and raced up the hill. I watched as every step she took the light came back into her body. I couldn't help but smile when all the kids surrounded her making her laugh. They knew how perfect she was too. Then the search started and I had already spotted the golden egg. It was in the same area every year. I never once stepped outside these doors but every year it was the same schedule they followed and I found whatev

Ace POVI knew this was coming and as much as I braced myself, I couldn't ever fully prepare myself. Derek tried starting a fight the second we came into view, Alley chose him over me to walk her to class, Nikki and her whores begged for my attention then Asshole picked her up spinning her around while throwing little pet names to my girl. Layla came and then fucking Derek again. My hands were in fist and I wanted to kill them all until I caught her eyes. My perfect angel perched on the ledge filled with pure happiness. I hated that I wasn't enough for her but I couldn't be the reason she lost this. I relaxed into her eyes and let everything else fade out. "Did you get Alley's ticket? I want to go shopping for a dress soon." Layla was asking Ethan and I swear my heart fucking cracked. She wasn't going with him! I don't care if it was just as friends or not. "Of course, I got my girl her ticket." Ethan pulled two out from his pocket and something inside me snapped. Derek snickered

Ace POVI walked in the bathroom looking around for a wash cloth. We should jump in the shower but there was no way she could stand right now. Fuck! That makes me way too happy to think of. Why did I love fucking her until she passed out? I said I was never going to take out my anger on her again but she wanted me to and loved it. Another thought that had me smiling like a kid on Christmas morning. Her body was always so sensitive to mine. The way I took her didn't matter, she always came at least three times and I could see the pure pleasure washing over her. The pleasure my body gave her. I needed to stop thinking about this or I'm going to fuck her again and this time she would be pass out before I finished. I started the bath looking for bath salts. I only had sport types for athletes with menthol so I shot a text to Daniel. Me: Do you have any good smelling stuff for chick's baths? Daniel: Considering I'm not a chick, no I don't. Please do not tell me why you want that at fou

Ace POV"Your father has requested your presence for dinner tonight at home." Daniel gave me a big smile opening the back door. "Fuck! Why?" I opened the passenger side door giving him a look. I didn't want to sit in the back by myself plus all I would do is go crazy thinking how I just fucked her back there and now she is not here by my side."Something about keeping our alliances strong. I'm guessing you're sucking up to some rich asshole all night." I side eyed him knowing he meant I was a rich asshole too. "Great!""Did you approve the scholarship Ace!" He blurted out and I wanted to punch him."Not yet but I will, just give me a chance to breath."It was quiet the rest of the ride home and I hated that Daniel was pushing me away. Why the fuck did it matter so much to him anyways? Why did I care so much if he was disappointed in me?———"Let's go my boy. Time to eat!" My father put his hand to my back. I looked behind me trying to check if there was a knife in his hand but he ju
