Luna had not seen Ace in weeks, and her life was back to normal, not that she complained about.
She did not have to look around or wonder if he was lurking, which had made her very afraid, but no more.
Her phone beeped, and it was Dave. She wanted to cry for joy but when she opened it, there was an address and he needed her to come and fetch him.
She groaned, knowing that he had probably gambled and lost, he was out drunk and she had the job of taking him back home.
Luna went and it was quite fancy when she arrived at the place. She ran inside, and there she found Dave on the floor and his face was stained with blood and bruises.
She went to him and looked up. There was a vicious man and next to him was Ace. Luna froze. She had tried everything that she could to avoid Ace, but now she came back to him and it was not his fault.
But surely he knew that Dave would call for her, so she had to come. So had he waited for her willingly or bated her to be here?
Whatever it was all set and done, she would deal with everything one step at a time. Now to focus on Dave.
"Do you know him?" The man asked.
"Yes."
"How?"
"He is my husband." She lied, maybe they would feel sorry for her and be more lenient.
She saw Ace's jaw clench and Luna prayed that he would not blow her cover. What was she thinking lying, in front of him of all people?
She waited for him to say something, but nothing came from him.
"He owes me close to a million dollars."
Luna felt the blood drain from her face and wanted it to be a dream, but it was more of a nightmare.
She knew that it was no joke as to how the man looked and she had to pull herself together.
"Is it possible if we could make monthly payments?"
"What do you think this is? A credit loan. Pay the money or he dies."
Luna didn't know what to do, but Ace stood up and crouched in front of her, he whispered in her ear,
"I will pay the debt for you."
She was relieved. "Thank you, and I will pay you back."
"No, I want you to do something for me."
"What?" she replied in fear as to how he said it.
"Let me do what I want to you for half an hour."
She was shocked. "No, I haven't had sex. This is not how my first time should be."
"Don't worry, sex is off the table, but I have other things I want to do to you."
"No, I...…I …can't."
"Then he dies."
She nodded. "Fine, I will take your offer."
Ace stood up. "The money will be sent to you."
Luna got up and tried to lift Dave but he was too heavy. Ace came and picked him up in a swift movement.
As if he weighed nothing, they got into the car and Luna was quiet. She could feel Ace's gaze on her.
She could not ignore it, it was too intense, but her mind worked. They arrived at Dave's place and the guards carried him away.
They drove back to Ace's place, and he held out a hand for her. Luna took it as he led her to his mansion.
She got in and everyone was silent when they saw them arrive, and he did not say a word. Ace led her to a room,
"They are going to prepare you for tomorrow and our half an hour will begin tomorrow evening.
"Prepare me?"
"You will see."
With that, Ace left and she was left alone in the middle of the room, wondering what would happen to her.
She paced back and forth in the room, she felt too uneasy, he had said it would not be sex but what would it be?
Prepare for what?
She went to bed, but couldn't fall asleep as to what Ace meant, she hoped that Dave would know about the sacrifice she had made for him.
