Chapter 23: Chapter 23

Jace had already called Victor to quickly come to the parking lot.

He left that bastard that wanted to take advantage of his wife in a miserable state. He really wants to beat him to death but his wife needs his attention more.

He doesn't know what was put in her drink….. like the type of drug and what effect it could have in her body. He wants to take her to one of his houses in his estate and then call the doctor to come check her up.

He picked her delicate body and scooped her into his arms. Luckily he found a small exit that will lead him to the parking lot without walking over the paparazzi and the crazy fans. Victor was already at the parking lot when he arrived with his wife.

“What happened?" Victor was fast to ask, also surprised to see Jace's wife. They didn't come here with her and why is she in this not pleasing state. Also, Jace's white shirt was stained with blood. Victor wonders what happened… Did he get into a fight? But his boss is not that type of person.

“No time to explain Victor, open the door," Jace replied.

Victor didn't speak further and just opened the door, Jace quickly dropped Constance inside the luxurious car and moved in himself.

Victor was fast to take the driver's seat per Jace's hasty order to move the car. He put on the car's ignition and in no time, the car had already taken off on the smooth road.

Peeking through the rear mirror, Victor could see the distressed state of his boss. He looks extremely angry. Victor can also see a bunch of care in his eyes as they stare at his wife who's upper body is lying on the car seat while her legs which couldn't fit in dropped to the car floor. Her head used Jace's laps as a pillow. Her eyes are closed as someone who's sleeping but Victor knows that's not a normal sleeping, she's forced to do so. Could it be that she was drugged at the party?

Victor was stunned to see the feeling of trepidation or panic hovering around Jace's face and clear in his eyes. Victor had never seen Jace this way and it seemed that he became this way because of his wife.

That was surprising. Jace was forced to marry his little wife, he doesn't love her, so it's not vivid to Victor why there's both feelings of care, fear and panic in his eyes at this moment and worse more, they weren't hidden… it was visible. It's strange because Jace is not someone you could read the way he feels through his eyes or his expression. What could have changed?

Still stealing glances at Jace through the rear mirror, he watched as he brought out his phone and pressed it for a few seconds before placing it in his right ear.

“Hello doctor, an address will be sent to you and don't waste time to come to the location!" His voice seemed more like a command than a request.

Victor wasn't surprised, his boss doesn't request, he rather commands no matter who the other party is.

“Jace… what happened?" Victor asked when he couldn't contend his curiosity. He's the only person out of Jace workers that could ask him questions like this.

“She was…" Jace trailed off. He's not even sure of what happened to her. Was she actually intoxicated before that bastard tried to rape her? Her unsteady steps when she tottered towards the brown door and her state right now says it all, she was actually intoxicated.Was that bastard the one that intoxicated her or someone else?

Instead of answering Victor's question, Jace was in deep thoughts. After thinking for a few seconds, something quickly rushed through his mind.

Yes… he saw a waitress give Constance a red wine. After taking a few sips from the wine, she went for a dance with the brown skin guy whom he noticed how he was stealing lustful glances at her. He hated that guy at that moment without even knowing who he was, maybe he's an upcoming personnel in the entertainment industry.

She was dancing with the guy before she excused herself and staggered away. The way she staggered away means that the wine she drank was drugged and that waitress added the drug to it.

What actually registered in his mind was that the waitress spoke with Annabelle before she took the wine to Constance.

No one other than Annabelle will drug his wife but why did she intoxicated her.

Wait… could it be that she paid that man who nearly took advantage of his wife, so that was the reason she drugged his wife so that she won't be conscious when he takes advantage of her.

Jace clenched his fist in anger at this realization. He couldn't believe that Annabelle will do something like this, she wants an innocent girl to be raped because of her stupid jealousy. She has crossed her limit.

Jace was so furious, even if he doesn't love his wife… he won't entertain such attitude from Annabelle, he's going to deal with her and that stupid guy she paid to rape his wife but not now, his wife needs his attention.

Finally getting out of his thoughts, he replied to the muddled Victor who wondered why he left his words hanging in the air in the process of replying to the question he asked him.

“She was intoxicated and a useless bastard wanted to take advantage of her but I was there on time," his voice was calm but one could make out the anger he's trying to suppress.

Victor was shocked, how could someone think of raping such an innocent girl. Victor knew the girl is beautiful and that's probably why some asshole tried to take advantage of her but luckily his boss was there to save her, this explains the blood stain on his shirt.

His boss being there on time to save her only meant that he had his eyes on her at the party. It's surprising, he thought his boss doesn't like her… why then was his attention stuck to her even to the extent of knowing when someone wanted to take advantage of her.

The way his boss is worried about her right now, says otherwise with what he claimed to feel for the girl. He claimed to hate the girl but his action says another thing.

The rest of the drive was quiet. In no time, Victor drove the car through the automatic gate and entered the large exquisite compound. One may think that this is a castle due to how big and vast both the luxurious building and the compound is.

Parking the car in the contemporary parking lot, Jace stepped down from the car before he gently scooped Constance into his arms.

T

his house of his is big but yet no single soul lives in it. This is just a place he comes to whenever he wants to spend time alone, especially during vacations. There are lots of beautiful memories housed in this building and most of the time he comes here to relish the feelings of those memories. This house enclosed the memories of someone so special to him and that was why he didn't allow anyone to live here.

The only people that come here are either him, Victor or the cleaners who come every week to keep the house neat and tidy.

The huge silvery door was opened for him by Victor and he walked in, striding directly towards the masters bedroom which of course is his.

Because there wasn't a single soul living in this house, it made it appear cold and eerie despite its beauty. The house is enormous but empty. Stepping into the house, one doesn't need a sorcerer to know that no single soul lives in the house, it's clearly over it.

There's no single picture, no flowers, nothing to keep the house Lively, only a set of beguiling cushions aligned at the center of the spacious living room. The house looks dull and sad.

Victor stayed behind while Jace entered the masters bedroom with Constance, the doctor must be on his way by now. He already told Victor to send him the address since not many people know about this mansion.

He doesn't even know why he brought Constance here. This is not the time to think about it. Surprisingly he's so worried about this little wife of his and couldn't think of anything else but her, his mind hasn't been at rest and though he hates to admit, his mind will never be at rest until the doctor comes and confirms that his little wife is okay.

The bedroom also appeared dull and sad just like the rest of the house.

He carefully dropped Constance on the bed and tugged her into the duvet. He was about to straighten his back when a tiny hand wrapped around his neck bringing him so close to that pale and yet beautiful face.

He subconsciously gulped down in nervousness as his lips are now an inch apart from his little wife's lips. Staring at those pink yummy lips, his body started reacting differently and he quickly understood the language of his body.

At that moment he felt his heart beating louder than usual and the urge to devour those lips increasing.

No… this isn't the plan. He shouldn't feel this way because of his little wife. He shouldn't feel anything for her, why did he feel that his heart is trying to betray him.

His heart has never beat for anyone except one person in the past. Why is this frail girl making his heart beat uncontrollably?

He was about to withdraw himself from her grip but she mumbled something incoherently, he couldn't understand what she said.

The way those lips of hers move is a great temptation to Jace and he's greatly fighting this temptation.

He vowed not to touch her because he doesn't want to give her the satisfaction of this marriage working between them. Why's his body saying otherwise at this moment.

Not wanting to lose control of himself, he tried again to escape her grip but before he could do so, his little wife dragged their faces more closer and that made their lips touch.

Jace widens his eyes in shock. He felt as if there was a surge of electricity which passed through his whole body and erupted on fire. His already fastly beating heart started beating more rapidly and he could hear the sound of it.

That huge thing between his legs has already become hard as rock. Jace couldn't believe he felt aroused by just a lip to lip kiss, it's not even a deep kiss but he also knows that even a deep kiss hardly arouses him.

What is this little wife of his abruptly doing to him? She's making him go crazy without even trying. Without thinking twice, he uses his tongue to part her lips as he sucked deep.
