Mr Ceo's Pregnant Ex-wife

Chapter 112 - SWEETEST KISS

Meet me in the silence,

far from all the noise,

where our hearts can make

the?honest choice.

***

The soulful sound of the piano combined with the sensual sound of the violin filled the room. Everyone stood staring at us, their jaws dropping to the floor. The performance stole the hearts of everyone inside. Some were listening with their eyes closed while others were already dabbing a handkerchief at the corner of their eyes.

I felt as if I\'m in heaven. It\'s unbelievable to think that this is actually happening. I\'m even doubting that this is just a dream and soon I would wake up only to find myself alone inside my room.

But Ace flashed me a dazzling smile. It was so powerful that it melted all my doubts. It proved to me this is not just a dream. This was the reality… our reality.

I never knew that it could be possible for people to feel so intimate through music. It\'s what we\'re experiencing right now. It\'s as if our bond was stronger this time compared to the last time.

The piece ended so soon. And it left me wanting for more. But there are things which are meant to end and this night is one of those. The sound of the piano and the violin faded until it couldn\'t be heard anymore.

I slowly rose from my seat, pulled my skirt, and made an elegant curtsy to the still stunned crowd.

Angela was still staring at me in pure disbelief. She was insulted that her plans to ruin Ace backfired. She sure wasn\'t expecting a ghost to resurface and sabotage her evil plans. The woman she thought was a ghost was very much alive.

Vince on the other hand hasn\'t recovered yet. Perhaps he\'s still pondering if this was real or merely a nightmare. His pride and ego couldn\'t handle the fact that Ace and I were together again. All these years he\'d been working hard to destroy his brother. Unfortunately, he failed miserably this time.

I gave them both a lethal smile. It\'s a smile that says it\'s not just the end but only the beginning. It\'s a smile that declares a war—a war that I know I will end as a victor.

I felt Ace\'s presence behind me. I know he was there without looking back, I just knew it. Even if I keep my eyes closed and surrounded by a thousand people I will still know if he\'s nearby.

When I turned towards his direction, his glowing eyes met mine. He was so happy, it emanated from his body. He was beaming with pride as he looked at me. With long quick strides, he reached my side and pulled me into his arms right in front of Vince and Angela.

"You made me so proud tonight, Phoenix. You did a great job."?He murmured, cupping my face with his palms.

"And you too, Ace. You did an amazing job. I am so proud of you."

"Prove it to me then." He urged, sliding his arms around my narrow waste.

That moment, I forgot that five hundred people were watching the two of us. That moment, it was only Ace who mattered to me. I inched closer until his hard, muscular?chest pressed to my breasts. My fingers flew to his neck taunting him to move his face closer to mine.

"I will show you then, my king. It would be?my pleasure." I replied and kissed him deep, oblivious of the fact that we are being stared at.

I heard Angela\'s sudden intake of breath but I don\'t give a damn. What\'s important was Ace\'s lips pressed on mine.

The kiss was gentle at first but it gradually deepened. Before I knew it, we were engaged in an erotic french kiss in the middle of the crowd.

I didn\'t see Angela and Vince leave but when the kiss was over, the two were nowhere to be found. Perhaps they could not take the scene anymore. It only proved that they are still bitter.

If the crowd didn\'t erupt into a round of applause, we wouldn\'t let each other go. When our lips parted we were both trying to catch our breath.

The guests were still overcome with?applause as Ace\'s words drowned against the noise. He was trying to tell me something but I couldn\'t hear him correctly.

Ace\'s captured my wrists and leaned closer to my ears. "Let\'s run together."

He pulled my wrists and we ran away from the commotion. I followed behind him as he ran to the stairs before anyone could follow behind us.

It felt so good to spend this eventful night with him. Before coming here, I thought that I would be overcome with boredom before the party was over but it seems I was mistaken. So far, this had been the liveliest night of my life.

My heart was still pounding after we reached the second floor. We went on running on the seemingly endless hallways, the sound of our hurried footsteps reverberating behind us.

We\'re extremely lucky that we are the only ones inside the second floor.?All the guests were still downstairs in the room where the party was underway.

Just when I thought we would be running forever, Ace finally located our room. He fished the room key inside his pocket and hastily inserted the key. There was a soft click. Ace turned the knob and pushed it open. He allowed me to enter first before he followed inside and closed the door behind him.

I sat on the foot of the bed, my chest heaving. I felt as if I\'d run a long mile when we only run a short distance. Despite the exhaustion, I couldn\'t ignore the fact that K enjoyed the thrill of our short adventure.

Ace moved to the bed and sat just beside me. He too was trying to catch his breathing. At last, when we finally recovered, our eyes met and we both burst into a crispy laughter.
