He hated that voice. It came from a woman that contributed to the hatred he had for women."Bruce." The lady was closer to him. As she spoke, he could feel her breath on his neck. "You're the one, right? Can you please turn around so I can confirm if—""Get lost," Bruce chipped in."I know I have wronged you, but please forgive me. At least, I would feel less guilty if you do.""You deserve something worse than a guilty conscience." Bruce turned around and faced her. "Claire, you deserve every bit of the treatment you got from that animal in the form of a man."Bruce turned away from her and continued walking."I know that I do, but can you please forgive me?" Claire asked, tailing behind him."Go back to Cole. Stop disturbing my life," Bruce snarled."The Fulton?" Claire scoffed. "He turned out to be a really big jerk. He was however a big jerk at first anyways. I was just desperate and

"B. A. Ace has struck again. Earlier today, an unconscious young woman was taken out of Bruce's hotel room. No one knows what had transpired but according to B. A. Ace, she was an assassin sent to kill him. He defended himself and she got hurt. However, most people around the hotel believe that the young lady only wanted to get closer and not assassinate him.""That black faced devil," a lady in her late twenties said, shaking her head in disapproval. She was a worker of AAB groups and like other workers she was on a break. Bruce was in their midst and he listened as they insulted him without having the slightest idea that he was amongst them."I'm sure he made up the tale of the lady trying to assassinate him," a male worker said. "How would a woman kill a full grown man like him?""Women are more dangerous than you think," Bruce chipped in."Are you saying this because your rich wife left you?" Max, a male worker, said scornfully and everyone around laughed. "Everyone expected it.

"Take a look at who you're referring to as Bruce Ace. Whenever he comes to work here, he works like an elephant and eats like an ant. His allowance is small compared to how hard he works. Why would Astor Ace's son work that hard when he has more than enough money? I thought you all refer to him as a nobody. How can a nobody be Astor Ace's son?"Bruce turned to see who was talking— it was Claire. He frowned when he saw that like yesterday, she was carrying a food basket."The woman who is crazy enough to be obsessed with Jade Fulton's useless ex-husband is right," a co-worker of Bruce said, then she eyed Bruce Ace from head to toe. "Take a look at him. Nothing about him suggests that he is rich. He got a fairly good job despite how much he does not deserve it but he still looks like a houseboy. Some people are not just meant to have money and those people are people like Bruce.""Yes," another co-worker agreed. "The similarities must have been a coincidence.Bruce heaved a sigh of reli

Bruce bent before her, hoping that she was still alive. He frowned.He hated the fact that despite how hard he tried to get rid of his conscience, it was still there. Claire sat up straight. Seeing that she was Okay, he straightened up and she raised her hands gesturing to him to help her up."You can get up yourself," Bruce said glaring down at her."You've injured me. The least you can do is to at least help me to my feet because I can't get up myself.He grabbed her hand and dragged her up."Leave my office," Bruce said immediately.Claire went inside instead. "This is a really nice office," she said, looking around, ignoring the glare she got from Bruce."The last person that dared to walk into my space without my permission is in the hospital now, battling between life and death."Your evil deeds shouldn't be something you should be proud of," Claire pointed out."Get out.""You're B. A. Ace, aren't you? What the lady said was right, wasn't it?" Claire frowned. "Why wasn't I sm

"I'm B. A. Ace. Yes, Bruce Ace, Jade's ex-husband is B. A. Ace." "Just switch it off," Mr. Archibald cried out, frowning, referring to a video of Bruce confessing his true identity to the whole world. Despite how he, Mr. Archibald tried to stop him. Bruce acted out of impulse and confessed who he was to the whole world. "That's the cringeiest revelation ever."Bruce nodded in agreement. "I used to think that my reveal would be a really big event. I never thought it would be so casual.""The responses however are not casual," Mr. Archibald pointed out. "Journalists are everywhere around. Your workers can neither leave nor come in. The situation is critical.""Those workers of mine deserve it. I pray the reporters never leave so they can starve," Bruce said nonchalantly.Archibald frowned. "Fulton's mansion which you had gotten is filled with journalists. One of them jumped into the compound through the fence despite the heavy security. The property there is not safe.""Jade deserves

Tricia widened her eyes in shock on hearing what Bruce said. Claire smirked and walked majestically with Bruce into the car."Leave the way, else I'd hit you," Bruce warned.Tricia who disbelieved that Bruce would attempt to hit her stood before the car, daring Bruce.Bruce frowned. Without wasting time, he started the car and drove toward her. Tricia, seeing that Bruce cared less about hitting her, jumped out of the way and escaped an accident at the last second. Bruce drove off without looking back to check whether or not Tricia was hurt.Claire looked back, surprised at how brutal Bruce had become. She recalled how he had almost killed her by pressing the door against her without mercy. At that moment, Claire realized that he was more than deserving of the name, black faced devil. Bruce turned to Claire and Claire, who had been staring at him, looked away. Immediately Bruce stopped driving and opened the passenger door, the door of her seat.Claire, confused at his actions, turne

"Oh, I'm bad." Bruce smirked. "Just that you don't know how bad I've become.""I just want you to find a girl. Any girl. Just make sure she gives you a child that can inherit your property.""I can adopt a child," Bruce said as a matter of fact and Mr. Archibald frowned. "It's better you have yours.""You're not the one to tell me what or what not to do.""I mean the best for you. Get married. Don't make me force you to get married.""No lady in her right senses would be willing to marry me. She would go through hell," Bruce said"Well, Hugh Steele had indicated interest in becoming your father in law. I heard his daughter feels the same and you—""Just stop." Bruce frowned. "If I ever get married, Tricia would never be part of the list. She is pure evil.""Well that makes the both of you," Mr. Archibald said, rolling his eyes.Bruce turned to him abruptly. "Thought you said I was only pretending to be bad.""You just told me you aren't. That I don't even have an idea of how bad you ar

Bruce rushed into the building to see that the gunshots had stopped and that everyone had left the thugs.Bruce noticed that the thugs were surrounding someone and when he took a good look, he saw that the person they surrounded was Claire. They were about seven of them and Claire was sprawled on the floor looking half dead. Bruce figured that they had beaten her up.Bruce's eyes widened in terror, wondering if the thugs had targeted Claire and if they did, why did they do so?As soon as the thugs noticed his presence, one of them lunged forward."Nothing should happen to him. That was the order," one of the thugs said. "Let's just leave this place."In less than a minute, they all fled the building."Claire." Bruce placed a finger under her nose to check if she was still breathing. He wasn't.He panicked. He placed his other hand on her chest and realized that her heart was still beating. Bruce sighed, relieved to know that Claire was still breathing."Let's take her to a hospital."B

"Hugh Steele," Bruce snarled immediately he got out of the car. "Come out with Mr. Archibald this very moment.""Hugh Steele. Son of a demon.""That's not a very good way to address your father in law.Bruce scowled at both father and child as soon as they walked out of the house."Where is Mr. Archibald?" Bruce snarled."I'm with him. What would you do about that?" Hugh Steele asked."I'd make sure you rot in jail if you don't provide him this very moment," Bruce threatened. Hugh Steele laughed. "You're the richest, we get it, but are you the most powerful. I have tons of connections. You, on the other hand are hated by everyone. You can try, but you can't harm me.""Just tell me where Mr. Archibald is." Bruce gritted his teeth."I would give him to you myself," Hugh Steele said, grinning. "Well, that is if you get married to my Tricia."Tricia, who had been standing next to her father the wh

"My Dad? How is that possible? How did he know that I was here?" Jade looked at Bruce, wondering if he had a hand in what was going on. "Did you know he was coming?" She asked Bruce and he shook his head. "Bring him in," Bruce ordered. "Yes, sir." The butler left and he had no time, she returned with J. J. Fulton. Jade gasped when she saw her father. His clothes were faded. His hair and beard were unkempt. He had lost a great deal of weight too. She wondered what was wrong. He had enough money to take care of himself even without working. He could only lack money if he lost everything in a gamble and she knew that her father would never do such. Jade actually expected more from her father. Sure expected him to multiply the money he had. Or, was he this way because he missed her? Jade wondered. "I'm sorry for how I treated you, Jade." He turned to Bruce and placed his palms together. "Please forgive me for having a hand in your parents' death. I don't deserve your forgiveness, bu

"She'll be there all her life?" Jade's mouth hung open as Bruce and Archibald broke the news to her. She was packing to leave for Beijing and hence had little time to be at Claire's trial.It's been weeks since Claire got arrested. She was sentenced to stay imprisoned for life."I think she deserves it," Jade added and Bruce nodded in agreement."She threatened to throw her child off a tall building. Of course, she deserves something worse than a life imprisonment," Bruce said."And her mom?""She's going back to her hometown. I gave her some money to take good care of herself. She has her flaws but Claire's mother does not deserve the pain her daughter caused her.""Jade, tell me you're not still thinking of going back to Beijing," Mr. Archibald chipped in. "I thought both of you got married."Jade and Bruce exchanged looks. Mr. Archibald was right. They were once married and have never had a divorce."You can go back first. I'd prepare the divorce papers," Bruce said and Jade nodded

"Sir Archibald-" Bruce's voice trailed off. He was short of words."What is it now? Don't tell me you're not happy to see me."Bruce looked at Jade and then at Mr. Archibald and smiled. "Of course not. I'm very happy to see you."Bruce got out of the chair, rushed to Mr. Archibald, and gave him a hug. "I was scared that I would never get to see you again.""You were scared and you did not bother to call me.""You told me not to. That you wouldn't answer even if I did. I'm sorry."Mr. Archibald smiled. "You're like a son to me. I will always answer whenever you call."Bruce pulled away from the hug and smiled. "I was so dumb not to have realized that much earlier.""And I should not have tried to force you to marry Tricia." He turned to Jade and smiled. "I should have forced you to find Have instead."Jade smiled nervously. "We don't intend to get back together.

Jade stopped before a hotel."This is where I stay.""Why stay in a hotel when you have a family house?""It's sold.""No, it isn't. I bought it back.""You did?" Jade's face brightened, then it became dull. "Claire now owns all your properties, so it's hers now.""I bought it in your name," Bruce said dryly and got out of the car.Jade beamed. "Thank you."She was here because she wanted to give him his money, but knowing that Bruce still cared made her happy."Then we should go there, instead of staying in the hotel. I'll quickly go to my room and get a few of my things."Bruce got back into the car and Jade got out.She walked into the hotel. After about ten minutes, she came out with a traveling bag and dropped it in her boot.Jade handed out a debit card to Bruce immediately after she got into the car. "It has your five hundred million."Bruce took it from her and mumbled a thank you."What about Mr. Archibald?" Jade asked, breaking the silence that lingered between them as she d

Bruce's eyes flung open. His breathing was back to normal and his heart stopped beating fast. He felt everywhere was brighter too. He guessed right. The door was opened and he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion immediately he saw who opened it. "Jade?" "Bruce." She ran to him to check if he was alright, but when she touched him, Bruce slapped her hands away from his body. "What are you doing here?" "If I had not reached here on time, you would have died." "That's what you want, isn't it?" Bruce scoffed. Jade shook her head. "If I wanted that, I would not have risked my life to save you." "Risk your life? I know you're on Claire's side. Stop the pretense. I know you somehow found out that I had a mp3 player that could land Claire in trouble. You told her about it and like you wanted, she was not absent. As a result, the case was dismissed. " "That's not true," Jade said, defending herself. "I was the one who took the audio recording. I asked the old man to give you

"He is your son too. Are you seriously going to kill your son?" Bruce could not believe his ears.Claire scoffed. "He is your son. Not mine. According to the contract I signed, you did not need a mother for your son. You only wanted an heir. You planned on paying me off so I could leave the child I would give birth to with you.""He is your blood. Don't tell me you're this heartless.""You know what poverty is like. You know what being powerless is like and what being powerful is like. So you should understand when I say that I want power and money. I want to teach those who have ever looked down on me a lesson. I want to be able to get what I want whenever I want. I want people to look at me with respect. I want the kind of money you have without being at your mercy.""Claire, don't I give you what you want whenever you ask?""You can wake up one day and decide you don't want our marriage again. What should I do then? I refuse to be at the mercy of a man. I want to have your money. I

It's been two months since Bruce saw Claire. She was nowhere to be found. He involved the police, and his men and searched for her himself but he still could not find her.Finding Claire was the only exciting thing that had happened in the space of two months. He worked from 7 am till 9 pm, then from work, he would go to the bar.Once in a while, his eyes scan the bar for Jade. The night before his first trial was the last night he saw Jade. He never saw Jade again after that day.Bruce looked around his office. The furniture was sleek and modern. The floor-to-ceiling windows gave the office a good view. He placed his hands on the mahogany desk, his eyes on his phone.His phone rang and he picked up the call immediately."Have you found them?""Ava still lives in this city but Naomi has relocated," the caller said and Bruce Ace nodded."Text me Ava's address."The last time he saw them was the day Claire ditched him on their wedding day.

Bruce Ace sat on the wooden bench. His eyes moved around searching for any trace of Claire. The courtroom was filled to its brim. The judge was visibly annoyed at everything that was happening.Murmurs filled the air.It's been an hour since the trial should begin but Claire, the plaintiff, was absent.The judge finally raised his court to talk. "The plaintiff seems to be nowhere to be found. In this light, the case is therefore dismissed."Bruce Ace frowned.He was ready for her.He has something to prove his innocence. Something to show that Claire was the guilty one here.Bruce was fixed to his seat. Refusing to get up. If this was the case, everybody would think that he had paid her off to shut her up.They will think he was the cause of her absence. Not like he cared what they thought of him but he wanted to shut her up the lawfully way.He wanted everyone to get a glimpse of what he had to go through because of women.Bruce finally left his seat and headed for the exit.

"Claire?"Claire raised her head from her food to see who was calling her. Her eyes flew open."Jade."She frowned."Oh my! How have you been?" Jade asked, joining her at the table. "Where have you been?"Claire raised an eyebrow, wondering if Jade had no idea of the ongoing case between her and Bruce. The news was everywhere. How would she not know?"Are you talking to me?"Jade smiled. "I know we don't have a good past. The issue with my brother and Bruce and stuff like that, but now these people are no longer in our lives, so I think we should be nicer to each other now.""Have you not seen Bruce?""I've seen him." Jade's face fell. "I saw him in a bar yesterday. He only talked to me when he did not know who I was. When he did, he yelled at me and left. He was telling me something about his wife trying to kill him to get his property and that she had sued him for beating her up which is not true.
