(Devil's Marriage Trap) - Ace & Nina - Chapter 8 - Stirred his emotions...!!!

“What do you think he wants to do?" Theo asked.

“You will know soon enough,” Mike said without any expression on his

face.

“Brother, do you think he knows?" Mike was serious about this.

“Even if he knows, I don't think he can do anything because I have my

way with him.” Ace looked outside the window; somehow, he couldn't

think about anything else even though he knew someone was up to

something, yet his mind drifted about last night.

He felt something in his body change overnight; the pain and the

suffering seemed to end with the last night; he didn’t feel like his past

self anymore,

and most of the time, he kept reminding himself not to remember the

face he decided to forget, yet flashing before his eyes, whenever he

closed his eyes, that tearful face flashed like it was the only picture he

could ever imagine.

The girl stirred his emotions as no one had ever done to him and never

would; he clearly remembered the feeling of touching her and tracing

every inch of her; he felt like last night was a whole night in his life.

“Brother, brother,” Mike called Ace a few times, but he saw his brother

had his eyes closed even though he was asleep.

After Ace's thoughts broke a few times, he snapped his eyes. “Yeah?”

He didn’t hear what Mike said because his thoughts were not there

anymore.

“I said, is there any possibility the girl might remember you?” Mike

asked when Ace pressed his hand over his mouth.

“Never mention this to a soul, Mike, and this is the last time you said

out loud, if you don’t want another in our life, don’t speak out what you

shouldn't.” Ace glared at his brother because he knew if this night came

to light, something would go toward them, which would be his doom.

He was not ready for everything yet; isn't that why he wiped off his

being in S country?

Mike and Theo understood this was not the time to discuss what

happened because if this went out, something big might happen again.

The car stopped before a big old mansion; the mansion looked old

enough to be a witness to history, and the model of the estate looked

like it was hundreds of years old, yet it stood as a proud witness of

time.

The car waited for permission to open the gate, and until the gate finally

opened, from inside, the car entered; unlike other mansions, this

mansion had no soul itself; the entire mansion looked more like a horror

mansion; there wasn't a single soul outside the mansion.

Yet somehow, this mansion gave them the feeling of death and silence.

Mike and Ace got out of the car while Theo waited in the car because

no outsider was allowed in the mansion. This was a rule set by

someone, and everyone followed it. Theo didn’t come because he

would go inside but waited to fulfill his duty.

Ace entered, and Mike followed; both brothers knew what was waiting

for him; the moment they entered, they saw three people inside the

living room.

A man in his 80s sat there like a real king, and another man sat beside

him, but compared to the first man, the second one looked even more

dangerous, and there was a woman in a wheelchair who looked

soulless.

“So you decided to appear even though I called you last night.” The

second man spoke, and it was even colder than Ace Welsh himself.

“We were out of the country,” Ace answered politely.

“Why?” The man asked without giving him any excuse.

“You should know.” Ace didn’t answer him directly as he knew the man

in front of him, pretending not to see since he already sends men

behind him even though they couldn't find his trace, but he knew what

this man wanted to take out of him.

A heavy vase fell on him as blood flowed from his forehead

“Bastard, do you think you can fool me? How dare you leave the

country when I told you not to go? Don't you know you're needed

here?”

Mike fisted his hand with this action before him but didn’t say a word

like his brother.

His brother once told him to bear everything until he told himself the

wait was over, but they needed to take everything for now.

Suddenly the man stood up and grabbed Ace's hand, bringing a knife

out of nowhere. He cut Ace's palm, and blood dozed out from the

wound, but the man in front of him didn’t show sympathy.

Ace didn’t even wince or show any pain in his expression and calmly

saw what the man did and waited for it to end. Instead, the man took a

small jar, and Ace's blood fell on the jar. When the jar was filled with

blood, he let go of Ace's hand.

“Get out of my face; if I find out you did something like this again, I don't

mind using my way with you, and if I ever need to call you twice, I don't

mind showing who has control over your life.” The man showed his

back to Ace and left with the jar of blood.

Ace didn't bother looking at the heartless man who claimed to be his

father, yeah, his father, Damian Welsh; while the old man was his father

person yet, his father respected the man more than his father,

while the woman in the wheelchair was none other than his mother,

who needed him to be on this earth to live.

It was their mother, yet he was not allowed to go near their mother.

Mike was the second son treated a little better than Ace, yet Ace was

treated like a corpse by his father while he treated Mike invisibly.

Blood was still flowing out when Ace walked out of the mansion while

Mike followed his brother; when they reached the car, Theo looked

concerned, and he took out a medical box and warped the wound on

Ace's hand.

“Brother, when will this end this shit?" Finally, Mike couldn't help and

cry since he couldn't bear to see his brother suffer like that.

Ace smiled as if his hand was not wounded so cruelly “when the light

would appear, and the ending would be near.” Ace said he had been

bearing this for 20 years since he had turned seven years, and he knew

this would continue until this year's end.

Mike didn't know that his brother had grown his wings long ago, and

now he was waiting to spread them until Ace had to bear what was

stored on his fate.

Weeks passed, and Nina's condition worsened; whenever she saw any

man other than Alex, Liam, and Adam, the girl would react like she saw

her death, harming herself and closing herself inside her.

And now she looked like a soulless corpse; Alex and Adam tried their

best to bring her out of pain and misery, but it seemed her fate was

connected with pain; she constantly searched for David, who was in a

coma.

Finally, after a few days, David opened his eyes, he was frail, and the

wound was still fresh, especially on his lower abdomen; even a strong

person like Alex was shocked when he saw the damage.

He thought his master would first ask Nina when he woke, but he

suddenly asked about the girl who sent him to the hospital and stayed

with him the night of the accident.

Alex was shocked; he never thought his master would remember the

girl since his master barely noticed any girl in his life other than Nina

and Rose.

“Find her for me at any cost.” this was the first sentence David spoke

after he woke up; Alex nodded at his order; he thought his master

wanted to thank the girl, but who knew his master’s obsession with the

girl would be on another level?

After that, he asked about Nina, and Alex explained everything about

Nina; when David heard what happened to his sister, he was shocked;

what he feared happened.

“And you couldn't catch her till now?" David looked at Alex and asked.

“Master, It seems she vanished into thin air, we kept our eyes on

Martin's family, but they stayed quiet, which made us clueless about her

whereabouts,” Alex said with guilt; that woman caused Nina such pain,

yet he couldn't do anything because old master Martin is too cunning.

“Blow Martin enterprise, I don't have anything left behind for Alina

Martin to have from AL international.” So David would start with the

business. Since the old man wanted to play games with him, he would

play with the old man.

“Okay, master.” Alex was more than excited now that his master

ordered since his master ordered him to blow AL international cause it

would indeed be made old master Martin anxious; his master said that

meant his master could handle everything.

“Bring me to Nina.” David couldn't walk since he was not allowed, so he

sat in the wheelchair, and Alex pushed him to Nina's room.

When they were there, David saw Nina sitting on the floor and looking

at the white ceiling with blank eyes; his heart ached at the scene; he

always tried his best, if possible, he wanted to give them the moon on

the sky, yet his one careless decision dragged her down and gave her

a scar for life.

“Nina,” David called Nina's name gently.

But Nina didn't react because these days she always stays lost in her

world, as if nothing matters to her anymore and she has nothing to live

for anymore; the liveliness in her was nowhere to be found.

“Nina, brother is here. Are you not going to talk to brother?” Before

coming to Nina's cabin, David thought she would at least come running

to him, but his thought was proven wrong.

Nina finally reacted; she turned her head and looked at David. Then,

when she saw David in a wheelchair, she stood and walked toward

him. “Brother, what happened to you?” she asked anxiously.

David had never cried, not even when his mother died, yet seeing the

girl's face hold any emotions, his eyes turned red, but he held back and

smiled. “Nothing, it was just an accident,”

“Is that why you didn’t come to save me?” Nina suddenly asked,

stabbing David's heart with a sharp knife, it was not a question, but

deep down, she was angry at her brother for not coming to save her

when she needed him.

Alex's eyes turned full of tears, while Adam looked at Nina with tears in

his eyes.

David grabbed her small, shaking hand and brought it to his mouth; he

kissed her hand, and suddenly Nina jerked her hand away, and in front

of David, she wiped her hand again and again with her hospital gown.

“Brother, it's dirty; I'm dirty,” Nina murmured as if she wasn't telling him

but herself.

David felt taking a breath became an unbearable pain for him; he never

thought once he would return from the death door, he would see his

precious Nina like this, his heart broken into a thousand pieces.

He held back his tears because he didn’t want her to see the side of

him. Right now, she needed his strength to hold on; David grabbed her

hand and kissed it again.

“My Nina can never be dirty; my Nina is so precious that even there

may be stains on the moon, my Nina won't because it's impossible, so

precious, remember what brother is saying and forget what is giving

you pain because my heart aches to see you in pain.”

David never thought he would ever open his heart in front of Nina.

He always acted strict for Nina and Rose, but seeing her like this, his

world shattered, and now he has no idea how to bring every broken

piece and connect them again in her life.
