Suicide

~~~~~ Ace's Mansion ~~~~~

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, everything that happened within those days was like a dream to Alix. She had remained adamant and stubborn about not listening to his words or bearing his child, she had refused to eat for two days wanting to starve herself to death and to convince him ( Ace ) too. But Ace refused to budge either, he instructed the maids to keep sending her food regardless of her content denial. He also intensified the suffering of her family by 10 folds each passing day as she denied his request.

"Get some food upstairs, prepare a new dish and present it to her. Make sure she finishes it." Ace ordered the maids, after walking into the kitchen to get a glass of water. He was ready to continue in the cat and mouse game with Alix till she gave up, taking a phone from the insides of his pocket he placed it on the tray. "Also show her the videos on the phone and tell her, I am waiting for her reply." He added and the maids nodded their heads in fear. "Yes, master." They responded, quickly getting to work.

After Ace walked out of the kitchen, the maids quickly bundled up the food and the phone taking it up the stairs. The scared maid unlocked the door of Alix's room and walked in, shutting the door behind her. "Ah! ..... " She gasped out in shock and fear when she saw Alix lying in a pool of blood. Her eyes widened to the extreme, and fear immediately filled her entire being ". She... She... Is... Dead. " The maid stuttered in complete fear, she ran her eyes across Alix's body afraid to go close to her or walk out of the room.

The door was pushed open by another standing outside when she heard the sound of a plate falling on the ground, her eyes widened in surprise like her colleague's. She ran downstairs to quickly inform the master, unlike the others who stood shell-shocked, panting "Master, master the young miss... She...." She stuttered talking to Ace, who was busy watching the morning news on the economy of the country. Ace turned his eyes to her, "what happened to the young miss? Did she refuse to eat once again?" Ace questioned nonchalantly. "No matter, she... She... Is...." The maid continued panting and making mistakes.

"Will you speak up? Are you daft or something?" Ace muttered with a cold and angry expression towards the maid standing before him. "Master, the young miss is dead. She is in a pool of blood." The maid answered not wanting to be a victim of the master's wrath, Ace's eyes widened in surprise at her words. He wondered what that silly girl had done now, he quickly stood up and ran up the stairs towards her room... He knew she wouldn't agree to his words easily that's why he had tortured her a little, to make her agree.

He didn't think she would do something as crazy as attempting to kill herself so soon, this was too absurd. "Call the doctor now, tell him to arrive here in 10 minutes," Ace ordered with a loud voice to the maids who quickly did as they were told. He rushed into Alix's room to find her lying on the ground in blood, he quickly picked her up from the floor disregarding his allergy to women he brought her out of her room to his room. Getting into his room, he laid her on the bed and looked for a towel to tie her hand to stop the bleeding.

In ten minutes, Terry arrived at Ace's house. He ran into the mansion with his suitcase and doctor's coat, he was in the hospital when the maid from Ace's house called him. He quickly rushed up the stairs, getting up he pushed the door of Alix's room open but couldn't find her then his eyes trailed the trail of blood on the ground which led him to Ace's room. He pushed the door of Ace's room open and rushed to her, "quickly treat her, I don't know why she did this to herself." Ace muttered to Terry, a ounce of his usual cold and heartless expression couldn't be found.

~~~~~ 10 minutes After ~~~~~

Terry immediately got to work, "thankfully she hasn't lost a lot of blood yet, she just needs a little rest after the treatment and good food for her recovery when she wakes up." Terry told Ace after stitching Alix's hand and putting a bandage on it. "Are you sure she is alright? Isn't there anything else that needs to be done?" Ace questioned Terry when he finished treating Alix in just 10 minutes. "Nothing more Ace, thank God you discovered her before it was too late. Else she would have gone into a coma or worst still died"

Terry remarked gazing at Alix's pale face, the once bright girl he had talked with three days before was looking pale and completely sick too. He felt sad for her but he could do nothing to help her, he didn't have enough power to go against Ace. "Ace, I need to talk with you. Let's go out." Terry muttered after securely covering Alix with the blanket on the bed. Ace gazed at Alix for a little while before turning to Terry, he nodded his head and walked out of the room.

Terry followed after Ace shutting the door behind, "what do you want to you?" Ace asked with raised brows, his cold aura was back to enveloping him completely. "Ace, I think this is enough. Please stop torturing the poor lady, you can't do that to her. She has a life aside from taking to your wishes, you managed to save her that day and today but will forever be able to? Just stop it already Ace. Let her go, I hope you listen to what I have said now... " Terry mumbled, he walked towards Ace and pat him on his shoulders before walking out.
