Audrey felt a shiver run down her spine as Ace's eyes locked onto hers. She couldn't deny the attraction between them, but she was scared of getting hurt.

"I need time to think," she said finally, turning to leave.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfSKWUrTBb
Ace nodded, but his voice stopped her. "Audrey, wait."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFZCQfMPcr
She turned back to see him holding out a small piece of paper.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8iOyhDdq0
"My number," he said. "In case you want to talk... or meet up."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCRFhaiiE9
Audrey took the paper, her fingers brushing against his. It was like a spark of electricity had passed between them.

As she walked away, she couldn't help but wonder what she was getting herself into.

That night, Audrey found herself staring at Ace's number, her mind racing with possibilities. She thought about James's warning, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that Ace was different.

I must have slept off because when i woke up, my body was aching from sleeping on the floor. I cursed myself for passing out from crying too much, a new habit I wasn't fond of. Mrs. Bree, our maid, knocked on the door, and I struggled to respond, my legs and voice failing me.

After what felt like an eternity, I managed to tell her I'd be with her shortly. I checked my phone and saw 18 missed calls and 45 unread WhatsApp messages. I ignored a call from an unknown number and began to get up, hissing in pain as my legs stung from laying in the wrong position for too long.

As I got ready for a quick hot shower, I thought about James's warning and felt my head spinning with worry. But I decided to focus on ignoring Ace and shutting down my friends' encouragement.

Feeling better after my shower, I walked into the room to grab my phone and found Ace sitting on my bed, playing with my phone. I screamed, and he held me down, teasing me about dressing in front of him. I asked him why he was with Estella, sounding jealous, and he scowled, looking for answers on the ceiling.

He pulled me close, almost touching lips, and asked if I wanted to know how he got in. I gave him an apologetic look, and he laughed, teasing me about being smartly cautious. He pinched my butt, and I told him to stop, but he promised to go soft on me.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjJnG2PYW4
Finally, he let me go, and I said I'd be back, stealing a glance at him before leaving. My heart felt warm and at peace.

As I walked downstairs, I couldn't shake off the feeling that Ace was hiding something. But at the same time, I couldn't deny the connection we shared. I felt like I was torn between my head and my heart.

Mrs. Bree greeted me warmly and asked if I was okay. I nodded, trying to brush off my worries. But she could see right through me.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWctvYTMiH5
"Audrey, what's going on?" she asked, concern etched on her face.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kO4sG7aCc
I hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. But something about Mrs. Bree's kind eyes made me open up.
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHwvfuQlwe
"It's just... Ace," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I don't know what to make of him."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJXLpzKqiT
Mrs. Bree nodded thoughtfully. "Ah, Ace. He's a complicated one, that's for sure."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItSy6SJLN8
"Complicated?" I repeated. "That's an understatement."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiNYn0aqBS
Mrs. Bree chuckled. "Well, let's just say he's got a lot of layers. But I think he's worth getting to know, if you're willing to take the risk."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYLxr2eI3g
I raised an eyebrow. "Risk?"
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKKv7lgrNh
Mrs. Bree nodded. "Yes, risk. Because when you get close to Ace, you're not just getting close to him - you're getting close to his secrets, his fears, his demons."
214Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1iQGWj2YZ
I felt a shiver run down my spine. What secrets was Ace hiding? And was I ready to face them head-on?
