They all knew how he disliked being touched, "Master, you can place her down here. We will take care of her." The leader of the men said but Ace ignored him walking towards the car instead.
"Start the car and drive to the mansion Idris (the name of the leader of the men). Taylor calls the doctor and tells him to come to the mansion this instant." Ace ordered in a freezing tone as he got into the car with Alix held tight in his arms. Everyone immediately swung into action to avoid the wrath of the boss, Taylor then made a call to the Hawthorne family doctor.
~~~~~ Ace's Mansion ~~~~~
In less than 30 minutes they all arrived at the mansion standing at a reserved area in the city, Taylor rushed out of the car's front seat and opens the door for Ace to come down. Ace climb down the car with the still unconscious girl in his hands, he brings her into the mansion with the doctor already awaiting his arrival. "Master, what happened to her? Is she dead? Did you manage to kill her?"
Terry the doctor asked as Ace walked up to him. Ace gave him a cold stare making Terry shrink in size before walking off into the mansion, Terry immediately rushed after the master praying he didn't have to revive a dead being to life. Ace entered the room adjacent to his, he walks towards the bed and place the unconscious Alix a little rough on the bed.
"Get her treated, make sure she is alive when I come back." Ace muttered before walking off, he gets out of the room and walks into his room. Terry glares at the door for some time before shifting his attention to the lady laying on the bed, he examined her face and body before starting treatment on her.
After 15 minutes, "He could have just performed a simple First Aid on her, did he have to call me all the way here? Tsk! He is such a handful." Terry complained staring at the amount of water on the ground, he had drained the water from her body but she remained unconscious leaving him worried. He pressed a button at the side of the bed and three maids immediately appeared inside the room, "please clean this place up, sorry for burdening you."
Terry muttered with a toothy grin to the maids which left them blushing, "also please change her clothes too." He added packing his things and walking out of the room. The maids immediately got to work, cleaning up the floor and trying to change the lady on the bed's clothes. "Who do you think she is?" The first maid asked the others curiously staring at Alix's face. "Mind your business, Andy. You don't want to get in trouble." The second maid said returning her attention to the cleaning she was doing. "Yes tell her, she likes doing what she wasn't sent." The third maid added rolling her eyes at Andy.
***** Living room*
"How is she doing? Is she dead?" Ace asked in a calm tone from where he was setting when he saw Terry climbing down the stairs with a large smile on his face. Ace had changed his clothes into a house t-shirt and a pair of jean trousers giving him a bad boy look, Terry shook his head and decided to ruffle Ace a little bit.
"She could not make it, she is dead and didn't survive. I think you came in too late." Terry muttered with a grim expression on his face trying to act serious, "that's good then. On your way out inform my men to take her body and dump it in the pile of trash outside." Ace responded in a calm tone before turning to the business news flashing on the screen.
"Do you have to be so uncaring, she survived. Even if she had died you can at least show some pitiful expression for her.." Terry scolded Ace seeing his unfeeling attitude. "Do you want to get your salary deducted? Or do you want to become food for my sharks if not, get out?" Ace muttered in a cold tone without turning his attention away from the television screen. Terry sighed several times before picking up his bag to go out, he placed a packet of tablets on the table for Ace's consumption before walking out.
Ace was allergic to getting himself touched by anyone that wasn't his family, he rarely touched anyone too but he had to have her. if he didn't take his tablets then he would end up with a rash.
~~~~~ Ace's Mansion ~~~~~
"I just wish the previous Ace I knew would come back to me, he can't keep dwelling in sorrow for a long time. I hope he gets better soon." Terry muttered to himself as he walked out of the Mansion, he got into his car and drove away to kill off time in a club or bar. Ace glanced at the tablet laying on the table after Terry had left, he stared at it for some time contemplating within his mind. He bashed himself for being mean to Terry but he could not stop it, it was already embedded in his blood.
He picked up the tablet and opens one from it, he pops it into his mouth before drinking from his glass of Champagne to let it flow freely down his throat. He immediately started plotting that he was going to teach Alix a lesson for placing a change of 50 dollars on the bedside table. As he drowned himself in his thoughts, his phone rang on the table breaking him out of it. He glanced at the phone screen and sighed when he saw the name father flashing on the screen, his eyes stilled for a little while before he answers.
"Yes, dad?" Ace muttered in a monotone immediately he picked up the call, his eyes roamed around to see if any servants were lurking around him.
"Did you manage to kill someone else? Why is there a woman in your house that too the runaway bride from the Dennison family?" James remarked from his end of the phone, he twirled his fingers continuously staring at the tall trees on the beach.
"What do you want dad? Why pester me? Just spend a good time with mom, nothing detrimental is happening here." Ace muttered frowning at his father's remark, his eyes and expression turned cold. His hidden anger started flowing freely.
