Chereads / My Irresistible Sugarplum / Chapter 17 - Lowlife

Chapter 17 - Lowlife

Ace POV

I felt as if a hammer had been hit in my heart, which was immediately after Natasha had indirectly coursed me.

She had asked me to stop looking down on her because she's not from a rich family.

Natasha had boldly told me her mind and how she felt whenever I talked to her rudely.

"Are you seriously going to dress like that to follow me?" I had questioned her.

She wore big trousers, a big shirt and a bag which is around her waist.

"What's so bad with my dress code? Besides I'm leaving my life and not yours so it would be best if you stop giving me that judgemental look okay. And my clothes might seem like rags to you but they are the best I got so far, and I'm grateful." Natasha had started and I felt a heavy rock in my heart.

I'm a man of fashion, and I won't let anyone dress poorly while walking around me.

I can still clearly remember that she had mentioned something about taking pictures when she carried me to the meeting hall early this morning.

Natasha had said that the most annoying thing in life is going out with a nice outfit without being able to take pictures with it.

Yeah! She's right about that statement, but her clothes don't look like a nice outfit.

In my eyes, I see rag and rag alone.

Her statement made me feel as if I couldn't breathe anyone.

The last time that someone's words worked for me was when I was still with My Ex-girlfriend.

After we both broke up due to an inappropriate incident, I swore to never feel anything.

I swore to never feel the pain of any woman again, but Natasha awakened that dead side in me.

I told her that she should drive me to a boutique that is downtown.

Natasha did as she was told, but my heart couldn't bear the pain.

I felt like collapsing, and before I knew what was happening... I collapsed.

My heart would have been in danger if Natasha didn't carry me to the hospital on time.

I was able to hear her panicked voice, and it sounded strange.

The lady who had been scolding me a while ago is now panicking, as she prays that I get well.

When the doctors attended to me, the first individual that I requested immediately I recover was none other than Natasha.

It's weird! But still, I asked the doctor to send Natasha in.

I have the urge to wipe away the frown on her face with a smile.

Well! I guess that might be a result of the fact that she's my contracted bride.

Victoria requested that I fire Natasha from being my driver, and just to play along I told Natasha that she was fired.

Victoria is more like the most troublesome individual on the entire planet.

I introduced my sister and Natasha to each other because they are the craziest individuals in the entire universe.

At first, I was expecting Victoria to ask me a pile of questions, but after a while, I decided not to expect anything.

"Don't you think that Victoria's behavior is a little bit strange?" I asked Abe because Victoria, who I'm aware of, wouldn't accept Natasha as a friend within the blink of an eye.

Not to mention the fact that Natasha isn't from a wealthy family.

"Hmm! I'm also confused. I think Natasha is up to something." Abe replied.

I scoffed, rolling my eyes. "Why do you think that Natasha is up to something? Besides, we should be scared of the angel we know, which is Victoria." I declare.

Yeah! I have noticed that Abe doesn't like Natasha a bit.

It still surprised me that he wasn't the one who had chosen Natasha as a bride for me.

"Ace! Those who behave so carefree are the dangerous type of humans. Natasha doesn't care about her looks, and she pretends to care about the money we offered. Seriously! She didn't even charge up to five million dollars for a month, and that alone makes me believe that she's pretending to be someone that she isn't." Abe declared.

His manner of words tells that he dislikes Natasha from the button of his heart.

"I still don't trust her Abe. And I won't trust her because it's going to be the end of me." I replied, convincing myself not to trust her.

Natasha is open like a book and she doesn't care if others read in and out of her.

She had change the tense atmosphere between her and my baby sister within a few seconds.

Her pretentious character is already giving her away because she seems like an expert.

"Investigate more about Natasha and her family members," I said to Abe.

He slightly nodded his head as a smile was plastered on his face.

Ace derives pleasure in doing an investigation not to mention that the person is someone that he dislikes.

My brother and I were still discussing because Natasha and my sister went out to have some fun.

The voice of Victoria cut me off from my statement.

Victoria, who had pleaded with me a while ago to fire Natasha from being my driver, is now pleading that I shouldn't fire Natasha.

Seriously! This is a bit weird.

"What did you tell her?" I asked Natasha, which is immediately when Victoria was no longer inside the room.

"Which part are you asking about?" Natasha asked, as her brows were slightly arched.

"I am talking about everything. What on earth did you say to her?" I question Natasha one more time. "Did you threaten my sister that you are going to deal with her unless I give you back the job?" I added, staring at her with an annoyed expression.

"Why would I do that?" Natasha asked. She's confused by the silly questions that Ace is currently asking her.

"Because that's what a low life like you is capable of doing. You pretend to be good whereas you are evil, and you do all that for the money." Abe declared.

Natasha shook her head sideways as she made her way toward Abe and angrily stepped onto his feet.

"Thanks for reminding me that I'm not born with a golden spoon." She smirks.

Abe winced in pain, as he bent down to wipe the dirt on his shoe. "Woah! I never thought that you would be able to stand so low, even to the extent of wiping a worthless shoe." She added, before sighing, and with that, she left the room.
