If I didn't remember what Ace had done to me, I would probably think of the man as a normal man in general just based on his current appearance. Ace-kendati has some damage in his brain, looking like a sane man who is busy with work. His phone rang several times and in the first thirty minutes I was with him, I don't know how many times Ace spoke on the phone.

Ace didn't really bully me after forcing me to sit down. He went back to work while I stayed on the couch monitoring the whole room that seemed to be the Hunter family study.

I once visited this place to accompany Mr. Anggara and Mr. Indira to discuss work. At that time, the Ace I found was the same Ace I see now. He is calm, doesn't talk much and focuses on his work. No one will know that the man is crazy because of his outward appearance.

I was the one who had been deceived because of his extremely neat outer appearance. If I knew the person who would likely harm Miss Indira was this person, I might be armed with a suicide pill in my mouth.

Damn, I didn't know she was a sadist!

"You haven't spoken at all since, what's going on?" Ace asked while looking at me. His face was serious and his focus became more relaxed than before. I rolled my eyes.

"I don't want to talk to you" I said.

I don't want to mispronounce and abuse him. Not when he's in serious mode like that. Who knows in case the madness falls and he orders his men to eliminate my dear ones. Just thinking about such a situation happening already made my heart ache.

"Why? Aren't you bored? You sounded really loud when you made trouble with Felix, but you're getting really tight-lipped right now. Tell me, what your peanut brain is thinking!"

I immediately nodded. "Who do you call a peanut brain?"

Did he say I was stupid?

"You don't look smart."

Goddamnit! I couldn't control my frustration and moved nearby and held a single fist in my arm. He should be grateful I didn't punch him in the face. Motherfucker! Why would I be stuck with this psychopath?

"You're so excited, right?" Ace laughed while wiping the trail of my punch. I didn't feel like my punch was strong enough. "If you're bored, just say so. I'm not gonna kill you for that."

"I'd rather you kill me." Ace laughed at my response. I don't know what's funny. Maybe he's just crazy.

"You're very comforting to me, Fawn. I'm not surprised why Indira likes you so much. He talks about you like he's talking about his true friend."

"No-nona Indira is talking about me? When's? Where's where?" Hearing the name of Miss Indira, I became very enthusiastic. My body leaned towards Ace, ready to listen more clearly to the information about Miss Indira.

"We met last night, when you went to bed early." Ace answered my question in a soft voice. His fingers moved and rubbed my cheeks. His actions made me uncomfortable, so I kept my face out of his reach.

"You met Miss Indira? You didn't do anything to him, did you?" I almost forgot that he was the criminal who tried to kidnap Miss Indira. If I hadn't taken the place of Miss Indira, would Miss Indira have had the same bad luck that I have now?

"I want to do something, you know kind of tie her up and make her cry under me like that, but-"

Plaque!

I don't know when my hand moved, I know I slapped Ace's cheek. My emotions were turbulent just by imagining what he said. I'm out of control, damn it!

Ace gasps for my slap. The ignorant expression imprinted on his face faded in place of anger. He rubbed his lips with his eyes still locked on me. Before I could make a move to escape, he caught my wrist and dropped me on his chest. That sharp masculine scent came back to pierce my nose.

"You think you can be free after hitting me?" His voice and grin clearly show that Ace's psychopath has come to the surface. Forget about any normalcy, this man is not sane!

"I wouldn't hit you if you didn't say such disgusting things about Miss Indira."

"You crazy? I can't possibly-let go!" Where did this strange conclusion come from? I'd rather swallow a bullet than be envious of anyone caught up in Ace's disgusting scheme. "I just don't like you saying bad things about Miss Indira, damn it! Miss Indira is an honorable girl, you must not do bad things to her!"

Even if it was only a verbal insult, Miss Indira did not deserve such treatment!

"Just calm down, I won't do anything to Indira." Ace held me tighter on his chest, making me very uncomfortable when his lips swiped my earlobe. Someone, please save me from this demonic incarnation!

"I've got you," continued Ace's remark making me pull my face away only to stare it right in the eye. Looking around for sanity that might be left in his brain, but nothing.

"You've really gone crazy, haven't you?"

He smiled beneath me, the type of smile that should have fascinated you but in my eyes it looked like the grin of an angel of death. I hope he takes my life, but I know that hope is in vain. Ace is a sadistic man with a mentally disturbed. He wouldn't let me die that easily before destroying my physique and mentality.

"Take me off." I tried to get up from his chest, writhing like a caterpillar.

Instead of releasing me, Ace secured my position between his legs. Imprisoned my movements between his open knees while his hands flicked up the oversized black shirt I was wearing.

"Please, don't do this..." I shuddered at his every touch on my skin. Although it was only a light touch, there was a dangerous aura there. As if my body was on the deck of a giant snake, I was trying to escape from its embrace.

"Don't move" he whispered. That bastard didn't listen to me. He enjoys his own game too much, clearly visible from his eyes burning passion.

"I'm bored, comfort me."

"Aces..." I shivered in fear as his lips swept across the surface of my skin. Plied my neck with ridiculous bites and suction. It's dangerous, I don't want to do this with him anymore. The pain in my hip has not even subsided, and he has already forced me to do this again!

"Please," I pleaded in panic. "Don't do this."

Am I an animal in his eyes? Does he not see me as a human being? Why does this bastard have no mercy at all!

"You know, your begging voice like that makes me even more excited." Ace-the-fuck is laughing!!!

"Keep begging, I love it when you do."

"You psychopathic bastard!" My speech came to a halt when Ace managed to pull off the shirt I was wearing from my body. 

Thanks to Felix's terrible service, the man didn't give me a bra or women's clothing. Thanks to him anyway, I was easily exposed before Ace's eyes without wearing anything. Bastard, I immediately used my hand as a shield. Ace's eyes flashed wittyly, scanning me more intensely than before.

Ughhhhhh!!!

"It's not the first time I've seen your body, you don't have to be ashamed." Ace's words made me even more disgusted. "After all, you look more beautiful without wearing anything."

"You bastard."

"Hahaha, your face is so red."

Shit, shit, shit, motherfucker, shit!

Ace got up and sipped my nape. The gentle friction of his lips and the heat of his breath made me close my eyes. I can't do anything. Once again, I was trampled under his feet. Like a worthless figure, every time he touched me, I felt like I wanted to meet my death immediately.

Tears flowed back down my cheeks, but as if blinded by his evilness, Ace ignored my sobbing and continued to do as he wished. I could only shake and bite my lips firmly as the longer the touch became more intense.

I'm really weak. I hate myself being treated like this.

I know, if I don't die, I'm gonna hate this guy for the rest of my life.
