(Devil’s Marriage Trap) Ace & Nina - Chapter 45 - I can help…!!!

Nina's eyes tear off Ace and turn to Aiden. “Third brother, what do you

mean?" She looked afraid of his words.

"He has been doing it since he was 5." Aiden knew Ace's history

because David dug out every detail of Ace Welsh, so there was no

hidden secret that they didn't know about him,

David knew something even Damian Welsh wasn't aware of because

he might go through Ace Welsh's nerves, but he never could pass

through Ace Welsh's brain, but David did; David left it in the dark

because he wanted to keep it hidden for Noah.

For Noah, David even helped Ace Welsh to hide it deeper.

Nina's mind went blank for a second; she never thought this man, who

looked cold and cruel from the outside, had such a painful life; death

would be better than this pain; she could imagine how painful it was for

this man.

"Why? Does anyone else in his family have this disease?" Nina had no

idea about Ace's past.

“Yeah, his mother and his father made him the antidote for his mother

since he was five, and now Noah also needs his blood to survive,”

Aiden added.

Nina didn't know why she felt pain for this man, so he was just

medicine for everyone; she couldn't bring herself to hate this man; the

pain was replaced with sympathy just a few hours after she met him.

Adam looked at Aiden with a shocked expression; wait, weren't they

supposed to hide everything from Nina? Why did he expose every

secret about Ace Welsh to Nina? What the hell is this man thinking?

Aiden felt Adam's scorching hot stare at him, but he just smiled

because he knew Adam was still far away from reality. He was

tempered, protected by Richard's family, then by David; others might

not know, but Aiden knew Adam yet to face the truth.

Because of David's endless protection, the guy has yet to face the

world, but he understands David, the man treated Adam the best more

than his little brother because he never wants to put Adam through

what they went through; not all man needs to go through hell like them.

Nina's eyes glued on Ace until the process ended, the moment it

needed. Theo didn't take a second to pull the middle out of his chest,

and Ace leaned back on the couch; he looked pale, as if there wasn't

even a drop of blood left on his face.

Before he could say anything, a glass of water was held. Ace raised his

eyes and met Nina's, his gaze stacked on her face; he could see her

red eyes and the sympathy in her eyes for him.

There was no hate for him in her eyes, nor did she have fear in them;

she used to look down whenever he looked at her, but this time, she

was looking at him while evading her eyes from him; he didn't find any

trace of fear in her.

He gave a nod and took the water glass; he took a sip, and her

behaviour changed, surprising everyone in the room.

But it was any human reaction; everyone felt his pain, so obviously,

Nina would feel it, too. It was no surprise, but it was a surprise for them

because Nina hated Ace Welsh until now, so this sudden change in her

was surprising.

Nina didn't notice the changing eyes around her; she just felt this man

was pitiful; if Noah had to donate his heart blood to someone else this

painfully, she would've died from pain.

Theo smiled wickedly. He could use another method since there was

another way he discovered since he found another way; even Damian

Welsh was not allowed to take blood in this way, but for Noah, Ace

didn't want to risk, but he had no other intention.

But Theo used this method because he wanted to show everyone Ace's

life was never entirely of fairy tales since David Xiver's side hates Ace

Welsh to their guts; he lived with a monster, especially Nina Xiver; this

girl's hate was visible in her eyes.

He wanted to remove this hate from this girl's heart, and he had already

guessed Nina's fear about Ace.

So this was the best way.

Adam carried Noah away and took him to the room; Aiden followed

since the boy was in a deep sleep; he didn't feel anything other than

the spot where he received the antidote. He would be in pain when he

woke up, but it wouldn't hurt much.

Nina looked at Ace, who was struggling to put his shirt on; she stood

there without moving. Theo looked at the duo; one tried to ignore her

presence, and the other looked at him without noticing anything.

Their awkwardness was something Theo found funny.

Ace was trying hard to put on the shirt; he looked at Theo. Usually,

Theo would help him, but suddenly, Theo wasn't interested and

shouted, I'll go check on Noah."

He left without hesitation; Ace was speechless; damn him.

Nina looked at Ace, whose face was covered in pain. She walked to

Ace. "If you don't mind, I can help you." This was the first word Nina

said to Ace since she came here.

She didn't even look at him straight, yet she stood so close to him and

willing to help him, which was something Ace had never expected.

Ace didn't say anything and stared at her intensely; Nina felt his deep

stare on her; she felt embarrassed, she felt she was out of her mind,

how dare of her to think she could help him, she blushed from

embarrassment, when she thought the man would reject her, she heard

his unexpected answer "sure."

Nina looked at him in shock; her small face turned red, giving Ace

Welsh a different excitement, but he didn't show it on his face; he

raised his hands.

Nina hesitated. She regretted her action the very moment, but what

could she do? She had already thrown herself into this embarrassing

situation, and now, no one was there to push all the responsibility onto

someone else.

She braced herself, held the shirt sleeves, and put on one hand; she

did her best not to touch him; this might be the most challenging

situation she ever felt in her life she ever faced.

Ace didn't show much on his face, but something in him moved by her

action; he noticed the pain in her eyes earlier; she felt his pain, and that

was what warmed his heart; no one looked at him like the way she

looked at him when he was in pain, suddenly he didn't felt the pain

anymore.
