EPISODE 34

Ace's POV:

Her heart was beating violently against her chest.

She was scared.

I glared at Kisa and sighed. She would always find a way to piss me off.

"You are fucking her? Is that it?" Kisa asked.

Catherine glanced at the both of us, she was shaking and hiding herself in the water. I guess she was ashamed of herself.

"I can do what the hell I want, I can kiss whomever I want, you're not my girl." I retorted in annoyance. I climbed out of the swimming pool and grabbed a towel then wrapped it around my waist.

Kisa scoffed and glanced at Catherine.

"Oh, that's right. You can't fuck her because you're still tied up with me." She said cockily and pushed her chest out. "Why? Can't get enough of me?"

No matter how hard I tried not to get annoyed by Kisa because of the good old days we shared, she still finds a way to make me angry, a way to get me upset and get a raise out of me.

"Why are you still here?" I asked. I sat down on the chair and grabbed the can of coca cola from Liam.

"Dude, I brought that with me." Liam said before glaring at me.i smirked while uncorking the lid.

"It is mine now."

Catherine got out of the water, her body was drenched and she was shivering.

She grabbed her backpack from the ground and walked past me.

"We will continue this later." I told her. She stopped for a moment before walking away.

Why did I kiss her? why.... How did I kiss her? what led me into kissing her, what pushed me.

I must be going crazy.

"Does aunt Veronica know? Does she know that you're kissing a girl you've been bullying for almost three months now?" Kisa asked.

Okay, now I'm annoyed.

What concerns her with whom I kiss?

"Go home Kisa, I'm not in the mood for your bullshits." I told her.

I drank the last drop of my coca cola and stood up from the chair.

I walked away from the swimming pool and down the hall towards the boy's locker room.

I opened my locker and I went back to the poolside where Liam was waiting for me.

Kisa was gone.

"Where is Kisa?" I asked him. Liam stood up from the chair and grabbed his backpack from the ground.

"Gone." He responded before walking away.

We walked out of the school together, I grabbed my phone from my pants pocket and checked the time, it was 5:40 p.m.

I unlocked my car door and looked up to see Liam watching me.

"What? Are you not leaving?" I asked him.

He shrugged before getting inside his car. I chuckled softly and shook my head.

He prolly has something going through his mind but couldn't say it out.

I know him so well that I can detect when he's deep in thought.

I parked my car in the empty space inside the garage before stepping out of the car.

I grabbed my backpack from the passenger's seat before locking the door.

When I walked inside the house, chef Bruce was the first person that I saw.

"Good evening, young master." He greeted me. I nodded my head and started climbing stairs. I stopped climbing the stairs and called on Chef Bruce.

"I'm here, young master." He responded.

"I'll be having creamy shrimp fettuccine pasta with Alfredo sauce tonight." I told him.

"Copy that, young master."

I finished climbing stairs and walked past mother's room.

I stopped in front of the door for a moment before grabbing the handle.

I pushed the door but it wasn't opening.

I know that mother isn't the type to leave her privacy for others to prey on.

I left the door and walked towards my room, I unlocked the door and walked inside.

I dropped my phone on the nightstand drawer and put my backpack on the bed before walking inside the bathroom.

Oh, my head hurts.

*****

I got out of my car and walked towards the grave. I kneel down before the grave and wipe away the dust on the name.

Gray Julius Hampton.

1986_ 2015

I dropped the flower that I brought on top of the grave before sitting down.

"Hi Dad." I said and looked up at the sky. "I finally finished my senior year exam, prom is in two days time.

I am finally graduating from high school.

My plan to get revenge for you is finally falling into place.

I'll make her pay for what her father caused.

I will make sure she lives to remember what I did to her."

I sighed and glanced down at my shoes.

I hate showing my emotions like this.

I stayed in the cemetery for about two hours. When it was 7:45 p.m I got inside my car and drove back home.

I walked inside the house and switched on the light.

Mother was sitting down on the couch with a glass of wine in her hand.

Was she drinking in the dark?

I ignored her as I walked towards the staircase.

"Where did you go?" She asked me. I turned around to look at her and I chuckled.

I really chuckled because what the hell!, What sort of question is that?

"Was I supposed to report my movements to you?" I asked in contempt. I started climbing the stairs again.

"Kisa came to my office. She said you're seeing a girl."

I'm not seeing anyone but going off.

"Am I not allowed to date?" I inquired. Mother dropped her glass of wine on the table and stopped up. She turned around to look at me, a smile gracing her lips.

"Of course not, you're allowed to date. But who is she? Is her family of the same or higher status than Kisa Queens?"

This is it.

This is always how it is.

Power. Money. Ace.

That is the only thing Veronica Hampton stands for.

The only thing she cares about is money, power and her precious only son, she never cares about my feelings anyway.
