QUEEN’S VILL@*
Paisley stood there like a statue, her eyes wide in shock. What was Ace doing here?
Her mind was in a total confused state, and the only thing which cleared her confusion was his next word.
“Nice to meet you… Essie,” Ace smiled and Paisley’s eyes widened.
Wait… Did he just call her Essie? Like he Füçking called her that name? The only person who called her was none other than the anonymous… Does that mean?
“This is not true, it can’t be,” Paisley shook her head vehemently and made to rush into the house.
Ace was quick to get that, because he quickly ran after her and grabbed her hand just because she could enter the building.
“Let me go!,” Paisley shouted whilst struggling to free herself from his right grip.
“No, I’m not! I’ll never let go of your hand, Essie,” Ace shouted back.
Hearing that name, Paisley raised her other hand and struck Ace on the face hard.
Ace wasn’t surprised about that, he was expecting that from her… Even more.
“Don’t you dare call me that, you don’t have the right to!” Paisley shot, glaring daggers at him.
Even though she was trying hard to assure herself that Ace wasn’t the guy, she knew it was futile… Not when the proof was right before her.
The first day he messaged her, she never knew his name because he preferred to keep it hidden. And then, they became so close that she spent most of her days chatting with him. They’ve never spoken on the phone, they only chat.
He was the one who personally gave her the name Essie, it was the name of his late sister and she had felt important when he decided to call her by that time.
When she was busy grieving about Ace, he was there for her. He took her pains and brought smiles upon her face mere by his messages.
When he told her he was outside waiting for her, her joy knew no bounds. Maybe she would finally be able to get over Ace, those were her thoughts. But then, it was as though fate was totally against her. Because, the guy who healed the pain in her heart was no other than the one who inflicted the pain in it itself.
“Don’t you dare,” her voice came out as a whisper. Pain was the only thing evident in her voice, and one could have guessed that, because right at that time, her tears came trickling down her cheeks.
“You…” She pointed a finger at her, her voice shaking slightly.
“You played me,” she cried gently while Ace’s eyes widened.
What?
“You tricked me!” Her voice came out as a yell, her eyes suddenly turning cold. She was glaring at him h@tëfully and that pierced Ace’s heart deeply.
“Just when I thought, I’ll finally be free from you, when the thought of me getting over you made me feel elated, you decided to shatter that! You tricked me!!” She screamed.
Ace quickly pulled her to his chest, holding her stubborn body to his and she wouldn’t stop thrashing in his arms.
“No, I never tricked you. I only need you back in my life, I didn’t mean to hurt you by that. I was desperate, so I had to do that. I’m sorry,” he begged.
“Let me go!” Paisley screamed in his arms, crying hard.
Ace wasn’t shaken, instead his arms tightened around her the more.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered.
Slowly, Paisley’s body relaxed in his arms as she began crying her hearts out. She could never believe things turning around this way.
“I’m sorry,” Ace repeated, his eyes getting glassy.
“For everything,” he added and that made Paisley cry harder.

THE BROWN’S RESIDENCE***
The car stopped just in front of the gigantic building and Axel alighted from the car. He strode to the other side and quickly opened the car door just before Melanie could do so.
Melanie chuckled and came down from the car, she tucked her hair to the back shyly.
“Thank you,” she muttered.
Axel only smiled before holding her small back, he stared at the building in front of him and a sudden wave of nervousness washed over him. He heaved a deep sigh.
Melanie glanced at him and she didn’t fail to notice his other hand shaking slightly.
“Nervous, huh?” She asked slowly.
“Never imagined I would be,” Axel chuckled, hoping it would ease his nervousness… But no, instead it got worse.
“You don’t have to be, my parents are nice. Especially my Dad,” Melanie said
“Füçk, my palms are suddenly getting sweaty,” Axel groaned.
Melanie laughed. She went on her tiptoes and placed a light kiss on his lips.
Axel was taken aback by that action of hers. Of course he wasn’t expecting that from her but strangely, it eased his nervousness.
“Wow! Did you just perform magic or what?” He smiled.
“My kiss is magical, you know” Melanie winked and a gummy smile escaped his lips.
“So, shall we?” She asked.
“We shall,” he winked and they both entered the building after it was opened by the security.

“Honey, help me with this, they’ll be here soon!” Mrs. Brown screamed after her husband who was in the kitchen.
“Coming!” Mr. Brown yelled from the kitchen.
Soon, he appeared with an apron around him and Mrs. Brown giggled. There were some visible flour stains on his face.
“I’m sorry honey, it’s just kinda hard for me” she said.
Mr. Brown waved it off. He walked to the dining table.
“What do you need my help with? I need to hurry up, my daughter mustn’t see me this way,” he said
Mrs. Brown laughed before pointing at some dishes on the table
“Here, help me with this. After that, we’re done,” she smiled.
Mr. Brown arranged the dishes on the table and at that moment, the bell rang.
They both exchanged glances and Mr. Brown’s eyes went to the apron around him.
“I think they’re here,” Mrs. Brown said.
“Er…I should change my dressi…” The door was opened before Mr. Brown could finish his sentence.
“Mom, Dad!” Melanie screamed and rushed to them, leaving Axel standing. She pulled her parents to a warm hug and broke it afterwards.
“Gosh Dad, what’s this?” She laughed, seeing the flour stain on Mr. Brown’s face.
“That’s the handwork of your Mom, she wouldn’t let me rest,” Mr. Brown said.
“Hey honey, you were the one who volunteered to do so. You were all over me, asking what you could help me with,” Mrs. Brown rolled her eyes.
“That’s an obvious lie, you were the one who kept disturbing me,” Mr. Brown said.
“Mom,” Melanie nudged her Mom gently, while staring at Axel who had a smile on his face.
“Oh… Sorry,” Mrs. Brown mumbled and silence descended into the house.
“C’mon,” Melanie waved Axel to come closer to them, which he did.
“Good day, Mom… Dad?” Axel bowed his head and Mr. Brown and his wife exchanged glances immediately. Did he just address them as Mom and Dad?
When there wasn’t any reply from them,Axel raised his head and stared at Melanie. He didn’t say anything wrong, did he?
“How are you?” Mr. Brown asked which relieved Axel immediately.
“I’m fine sir. I’m Axel… Melanie’s boyfriend,” Axel glanced at Melanie with a light smile playing on his lips.
Melanie groaned inwardly at his straightforwardness. She stared at her mom who had a blank expression on her face.
“I could have guessed right. C’mon, have your seat,” Mr. Brown gestured to a chair in the dining room.
Axel made to take a move but Mrs. Brown’s next word stopped him.
“If you dare hurt my daughter like that jerk did, then you’ll have to hear from me” she growled.
“I’ll cut that thing between your legs, make you feel what hell tastes like. I’ll break your head into little pieces and feed it to the lions. I’ll….”
“Honey!??” Mr. Brown cut her off, staring at her in amazement.
“What? I’m just giving him a warning,” Mrs. Brown shrugged.
Axel swallowed hard before rubbing his sweaty palms together.
“I’ll never hurt your daughter, Mom. Because… I love her,” his eyes held sincerity in them and that made Melanie smile.
“She changed me, Mom. She made me believe what love is as she’s my first love, I see no reason why I have to hurt a rare gem. If I should, then I guess I might have gone insane,” Axel professed gently.
