Crimson Vendetta

CHAPTER 30

VIV'S POV

I woke up beside Ace. Naked. I just had sex with him. He had his arm wrapped around me and he was still sound asleep. I felt very comfortable and I didn't want to leave this position.

I looked at him. He shifted his position and pulled me closer to him. "Ace," I muttered. "Hmm.." He hummed in his sleep and buried his face into my neck.

"Ace?" I said a little louder shaking him. "Viv." He croaked. That morning voice.

"Come on! Get up." I said smacking his arm. "I'm very comfortable right now." He said. He glanced and smiled at me. "Shut up," I said pushing him away. He let go of me and we got up.

The blanket was wrapped around me. "You look very hot right now." He said kissing my neck. "Ok, what is this?" I asked looking at him. "Nothing. We had sex, amazing sex and we could stop at any moment if you want." Not that I wanted to hear but it is probably for the best.

He continued kissing my neck and started sucking on it. "Ace.." I whispered. "Do you want me to stop Viv?" He asked pecking my lips, my neck kissing me everywhere.

"N..no.." I moaned. "Good. I was hoping for that." And then we had sex again. How am I supposed to say no to him with him kissing all over my body?

*•••••••••*

I checked myself in the mirror. My neck was completely covered in hickeys. I tried to cover it as much as I could then I wore a turtleneck to avoid my terrible attempt.

I was already late meeting Stella. Ace left an hour ago. We agreed to keep it low because it's complicated. After all, I still hate him but a little less now since we had sex. Twice. Me and Ethan were meeting Stella for lunch.

"Ethan!" I called him. "Come on." I said entering his room. He was playing with his toys. "Can I have waffles today and chicken?" He asked. "Yeah, we are going out with Stella for waffles," I said kneeling beside him and running my hand through his hair.

"Let's get you ready," I said picking him up in my arms. I changed his clothes then we both went down. I don't have my car so we had to walk but it was just two blocks away so it wasn't a problem.

We entered the restaurant and slid into the booth where Stella was sitting. "Hi. You look Terrible." I pointed out. "What is this? Why are you wearing a turtleneck? You hate it!" She asked. "Oh just pushing myself into Liking things I hate." I smiled. She looked at me for a second then her hand reached out to my neck as she slightly pulled down the turtleneck.

Her eyes widened and a grin crept on her face. "Who is the guy?" She chimed. "No one!" I said looking at the menu. "Viv come on.. Tell me... Tell me." She begged.

"It happened suddenly and I don't know how to react-"

"Name Viv?" She cut me off. "Ace," I mumbled. "What! Seriously!" Her mouth was wide open like she was still trying hard to believe. I am still trying to believe that I slept with him.

"Wh.. How?" She gulped. "Last night. Then this morning. It just happened!" I admitted. "Twice?! Was it any good?" She asked. "Yeah, very. He asked me if I wanted to stop, this morning and I said no."

I ordered Ethan's food and continued the conversation. "I didn't think you would end up with him." Stella chimed. "Yeah me neither. And it's not like we are dating it's just..." We were careful with our words around Ethan.

"Yeah, sure... Keep telling yourself that. I mean you guys always had a thing for each other since high school." She reminded me. "There is nothing and there was nothing. Just forget about it." I said. Suddenly my phone started ringing. There was no caller ID.

"I will be back," I mumbled and got up. "Ohh Ace.." She teased. "No... And shut up." I smiled and walked outside the restaurant. I answered the call.

"Vivian! You picked up..." The guy said. I remembered that voice. It was my father. "What do you want?" I snapped. "Just here to remind you that you only have 10 days left." He reminded me.

"No! I still have 17 days left."

"Well, I decided to implement a few changes. Remember you are still my daughter and you will listen to me like a good little girl you are." He beamed. "I'm not your daughter!" I snarled.

"Now a car is going to stop in front of you. I want you to enter it without making any scene." He said and a car appeared in front of me which I didn't realise was there. "Now go sit." He said demandingly.

I didn't question it. I glanced at Ethan and Stella. Ethan was eating and Stella was busy talking to Ethan. She didn't seem to notice me. I took a deep breath and entered the car. The guy sitting in front of me told me to switch off my phone and hand it to him.

I did so and the guy started driving. He gave me a cloth and indicated it to wrap around my eyes. I waited calmly and patiently until we reached the destination. Not going to lie I was scared and I was shaking but I couldn't show my weakness to my father or else he would think that he had power over me. And frankly, he does. I'm scared of him since I was born. He used to hit me and my mother whenever he was angry or drunk.

I don't know what he is going to do now because I stole all of those files. He is going to be angry and Maybe he will hurt me but at least he won't kill me because he needs me. That's one positive thing to look at I won't be dead at the end of the day.
