1072 Words
ACE’S POV
The moment my eyes landed on her as I waited for her in the lobby, I could barely recognize her. She looked like a model straight from the cover page of Vogue magazine. She was very perfect. I couldn’t believe that she was the one who saved my son this morning. She is really God sent, and angel here on earth.
I stood up when our eyes locked and I rushed to meet her. She was happy to see me and this made me so glad, I shook her and I dismissed my chauffer. I couldn’t stop drooling over her.
I wanted to tell her how sexy she was, I was dying to tell her this but I had to stop. I didn’t want her to think that I am a womanizer or something like that. My behavior is not something close to that.
She was different. I really couldn’t believe it. I kept staring at her from the corner of my eyes and I hoped that she would not catch me string of something like that. It is so weird because all of a sudden, she was like a magnet I was so much attracted to, no matter how I tried to walk away, I was pulled right back and each time deeper than the last.
This is really confusing. I was not going to date any woman, not after what Yvonne did to me. We stood next to each other in the elevator as we waited to get to the top most floor which of course is my house.
We talked about random things and I chose to understand her silent nature. I mean, we had just met today and I needed not to rush her to talk to me.
We were almost getting to my floor when the elevator had a small crash. I used that moment to hold her. I couldn’t help it, I wanted to protect her. I felt that strong urge to protect her. The contact we had sent a wave of sweet shivers inhabiting my body from the tip of my hair to the smallest toe of my feet.
I remember this feeling. The first time I felt this way is when I kissed Yvonne. Don’t get me wrong, it was during that time when I thought we were madly in love with each other. I was stupid to think that I would be the only one in her life because she was just a w***e. A woman who could be laid with anyone at any time. He thought of her makes me feel like throwing up. Literally.
After the elevator episode, Ivy was pale and shaken. I couldn’t blame her. I was afraid on my part. I mean, it is not every day that you almost crash in an elevator as it crashes too. Well, is that even a thing?
Anyway, I wanted her to relax after all this and that is why I went and served her the best wine. My dad gave it to me the last time I was there. It very expensive and that is why it is my father’s gift to me now that the firm is doing great.
I had asked my house keeper and other maids to go for an off for a few hours because I was going to invite Ivy in the house. I didn’t want them to make her uncomfortable. I loved her attitude back in the hospital, I didn’t want that to change or for her to cringe now that I have servants and I am their master. I wanted to make things as chilled as possible.
I know you guys are worrying about Jayden. Well, you don’t have to. Do you remember that app I told you about? Plus I had CCTV installed everywhere for security reason. The only one thing I love in this house is the beefed up security system, otherwise, I would easily move out.
Talking of this house, I had called them to complain about the weird elevator thing and they assured me that nothing close to that would ever happen again. Well, they better be sure about that. I am paying them a lot and I can easily sue them.
When I brought her the wine, I found her staring at everything in that house in awe. I know that I bought the most expensive and elegant thing ever, but well, I didn’t mean to scare her with that.
I gave her the wine and she hesitated. I know she could have feared me. That is what people always think, that billionaires are bad people mostly because where the heck did they get all that money if not by being wanted criminals or something as bad as that, like let’s say drug dealers.
Well, I accumulated my wealth. It sounds absurd but that is true. The firm has been the best in the country for like ten years in the row. With best I mean, the lawyers of the firm have won many important cases and that means that we made a lot of cash. Some I saved while others I invested. The combination of the two is what makes me in this billionaire’s status.
I am just a normal person and she didn’t have to worry about me. I couldn’t possibly harm her yet she saved my son today. Only God knows how I couldn’t take it if something worse would happened to him.
My dad almost taught me something now that we were lucky to be rich. I should always know what the girl thinks or wants from me from the word go.
I had to know if she would really want to worship me because of my money or not.
I hated people who love because of money and I crossed my fingers that Ivy would not be of that kind. I didn’t want to repeat the mistake I made with Yvonne. The last thing I wanted was for her to be a gold digger.
I swear, I was in love with her if this is all I could think about. I could hardly stop staring at her very kissable lips as she talked to me telling me exactly what I wanted to hear.
I know I promised myself no more women but after I met her, I think some changes have to be made. I am in love with this woman.
I love Ivy.
“I should check on your son Jayden, it is kind of getting late,” She faltered me from my thoughts.
