~~~~~ Ace's Mansion ~~~~~
Taylor sighed looking at his twin brother walking away, the truth was they were both twins born to the same parents. Their parents had an estate and a rich business but neither of them wanted to run it, Terry wanted to become a doctor and Taylor was willing to sacrifice his life for Ace. They both chose their various careers leaving their parents helpless.
"What did Terry say? Is she alright or dead?" Ace questioned walking out of the room which jolted Taylor out of his thoughts. "I think she is okay master, there's nothing to worry about." Taylor muttered turning towards Ace, "that's good then." Ace mumbled turning back to walk into his room.
"Master what should we do about her parents? They are looking all over the country for her, we can't keep them in the dark for too long." Taylor remarked talking about Alix's parents.
"I got some intel that the mother fell unconscious today, I think we have to return her sooner than later," Taylor added waiting for Ace's words. Ace's brows raised into a frown his face to Scrooge into a deep frown, he didn't know what to do just yet. All he knew was he didn't want his heir from any other woman but the woman who dared to call him a pervert and a servant. He found it interesting that she called a deadly being like him a pervert, girls were after him not the other way around.
"Make the stock rate of the company drop, hype the news of their second daughter's cheating with the first fiancee on her wedding day. This will keep them distracted for a while, it will also pave way for my plans. " Ace muttered with an ounce of thinking, he pushed away the nagging of his conscience.
"Master isn't that too harsh? The Dennison has not done anything to offend the Hawthorne family, won't this seem as hatred." Taylor questioned slightly taken aback by the master's order. "Do as I say, Taylor, also get the young lady some food I need her to be strong."
Ace mumbled cutting off Taylor's opinion, he turned around and walked into his room to get some sleep. "I don't know what you are planning master but this isn't right," Taylor mumbled to himself before walking away from Ace's room, he picked up his phone made a phone call, and laid out the boss's wishes as he had instructed them to.
"Make sure they are no mistakes, and push the blame onto the Brook family took. Send some evidence to the boss too, seems like he needs it." He instructed the person at the end of the phone who nodded before ending the call.
He moved towards one servant and instructed her to go give food to Alix, the maid nodded and did as she was told. She dished out some spaghetti, tomato sauce, rice, and chicken soup on a tray taking it up the stairs. She pushed the door open, walked into the room, and placed the food on the bedside table. Alix was currently in the bathroom taking her bath. Then the maid gently walked out of the room.
~~~~~ The following day ~~~~~
The light shook from the window onto Ace's face, Ace groaned turning his face and twisting his body. He had not gotten any sleep the previous night, he worked on his laptop going through files and plans for his upcoming business. Groaning Ace rose from the bed, he sat up on the bed running his fingers through his hair. He took his bath and got dressed in black pants, a white sleeve, and a black suit jacket for work. His hair was styled backward giving him a neat look, as he attempted to pick up his shoes his eyes caught sight of the 50 dollars he was given for a one-night stand.
He frowned walking to pick it up, he picked up the 50 dollars glaring hard at it. He couldn't forget how he had felt when he woke that day and had seen 50 dollars laid out for him, his eyes flashed with intensity and hatred. He had hatred for people who threw money at others, he had a phobia from the past making him like that. He picked up his suitcase and wore his shoes keeping the money on the bedside table he matched out of the room, shutting the door behind him.
A little creature like her had done such a deed, he wanted to find out more about this creature.
His gaze met with Alix's room door, he had the urge to walk past without checking up on her but changed his mind. He matched towards her room and opened the door from the outside. Alix had woken up not too long ago but she had sat on the bed staring at her surroundings, she missed her mom and dad so much already. She wanted to go back home but the mean man here wouldn't let her go back when the door pushed open she quickly lay on the bed covering herself with the covers. Ace raised his brow looking at the messed up bed covers, he wondered if she was this messy and dirty.
He wanted to walk back out when he noticed she wasn't sleeping but was pretending instead, "Hey, come on wake up. I have something to tell you." He mumbled holding onto the covers to pull them away from Alix, Alix quickly rose in shock and fear. She shivered when she heard his cold tone, she immediately knelt begging him.
"Please let me go home, am sorry for calling you a pervert and a servant please forgive. Just let me go home I promise I won't say anything to my parents, please." Alix pleaded with him, tears running down her cheeks.
Ace stared at her begging him expressionlessly, he raised his eyes and stared around the room "you know what you will do to make me agree to help you and let you go. Why don't you just agree to that?... " Ace muttered in a cold tone, he wasn't ready to negotiate with her, he only wanted a thing from him and she had to give it to him. He wanted an heir and she was the one he had chosen to be the mother of his child.
' Little creature, you are mine now" Ace thought in his heart.
