Mr Ceo's Pregnant Ex-wife

Chapter 10:ACCUSATIONS

I went straight to the front desk and asked the receptionist for a room to stay overnight.? After eyeing me from head to toe,? she offered me a strained smile that barely reached her ears. "The rooms are fully booked. We no longer accept new guests."

I swallowed hard, hurt by the uncivil treatment of the receptionist that left me wishing that her attitude was as beautiful as she looked.

"Thank you," I mumbled and whirled away. But before I could leave,? Ace captured my wrist with his iron clutch. My startled gaze landed on his menacingly dark face,? I never saw him this angry before. He paid me no attention,? his dangerous gaze was locked to the startled receptionist.

"Your lack of professionalism disgusts me. I don't tolerate employees with rude behavior. See to it that tomorrow I won't see your face anymore."

The words were a? sharp sword digging deep into someone's fragile heart.? The receptionist trembled with alarm,? her face contorted with profound fear.? She did what she thought was the best thing to do,? she fled in haste with tears streaming down her face.

Pity sprung inside my chest.? Ace was too cruel.? He doesn't need to fire the receptionist at all. He could just suspend her for a week for her misconduct.

Ace pulled my wrist before I could even react,? I was about to argue but decided to save my strength for later purposes.? I followed him like an obedient wife as I steer clear from the tempting idea of an argument.

He pulled my heavy backpack securely around his shoulders and set my fingers free when the door clicked close. The thought that there were only the two of us inside filled me with discomfort. I whirled my back towards him as I gently rubbed my sore wrists.

"I'm sorry,"? he mumbled in a sincere apology which I pretend not to hear. The weight of his stare against my back was making me uneasy.

The steel door clicked open,? exposing the flawless splendor of the golden walls. My lips parted with awe watching the impressive structure of the hallways that reminds me of a royal palace.

My keen and observant eyes noticed how terrified the employees became as he made his way. The sight of him was enough for the hotel staff to shiver with fear under his sharp,? scrutinizing glare. Greetings flooded his direction but he made no move to acknowledge them. He remained aloof until we reached the door to his room.

He produced a key card and the door clicked open.? He entered the door and I followed behind him.? My feet sunk into the warmth of feathery carpet and a soft amazed gasp escaped my lips. I was busy admiring my surroundings that I did not notice him stopped in his tracks and my head ended up bumping on the hard contours of his muscular chest.

"Careful." He murmured and held my shoulders tight to keep my balance. His touch burnt my skin and I flinched in shock. I quickly made a retrieving step backward.

He saw the palpable fear rose in me and he felt it too. His narrowed eyes captured mine.? "Are you afraid of me Phoenix?" He asked into a threatening whisper that made me catch my breath in alarm.

"No, "I lied. He took a step closer until my back collided with the wall,? leaving me no room to escape.

I pushed him away but my strength was too weak compared to a man as strong as him. He held my fingers captive and pinned them into my head.

"Please let me go, Ace." I pleaded while inwardly trembling with trepidation.

"No... Not yet Phoenix."? He buried his nose deep into my neck and a shiver ran through my spine.? "I'm not letting you go unless you answered me correctly."

A scream almost tore on my throat when he bit the flesh on my neck and sucked it lightly. "Please don't." I pleaded,? heating up. I shut my eyes firmly while resisting the urge not to flung my arms around his neck.

My plea fell on deaf ears. He sucked my neck harder.

"Stop it, Ace!!" I pushed him hard using the strength left in me but my efforts were futile against a six-footer giant.

His fingers caught my chin in a tight hold that made me wince in pain.? He lifted my face upward and forced me to look at him. His eyes were dark and menacing,? and I never saw him look this dangerous before.

"Why did you cheat on me Phoenix?"
