The visit of Max

Ace had woken to water dripping down her face, she realised she has passed out yet again and this time she was still on the floor in Nicks office. Looking around her she see's Nick standing over her, glaring at her with annoyance. Slowly sitting up she feels her body aching like she had just fallen of the roof the tallest building in New York.  Trying to get up onto her feet seems like a impossible task but Ace was determined to get home. With every bit of strength she has left in her she slowly  gained her balance and pulled her self up. Nick seeing her struggle, offers her his hand. Not reaching out for his hand gesture, makes him feel uncomfortable, but knowing Ace's body couldn't handle anymore abuse.  he just lets it go and laughed at her. He then he shrugged his shoulders, Muttering under his breath

"fine suit your self don't say I didn't try to help you" with that he sits down at his chair and watches Ace struggle in pain with amusement.

Ace was fuming , she couldn't cope anymore and her body was showing it she knew she had to end this and she knew exactly how she was going to.

Ace rises to her feet and shoots a revenge look at Nick. Nick not taking any notice, Ace quickly slams her hands onto his desk.

"You sadistic prick,

you won't get away with this , I will see to it,  that I make you personally endure the pain that you have caused me. When you beg for my mercy I will shove it down your throat and up your arse" furiously stated Ace making it crystal clear of her intentions towards him.

Nick at once stood up and goes to throw a slap at Aces face, seeing this just in time, Ace grabs his hand and throws it back at him. As he runs towards her she grabs her pen knife from her bag and stabs hims in the chest. In shock of reaction  Nick falls back and tries to pull out the knife. As Nick begins to bleed in pain, Ace feels a sense of achievement and with him finally backing away from her trying to recover the pen knife from his body, she makes a run for the door.  That night Ace ran home as fast as her legs would go. She managed to get home safely and bolted her door shut. She quickly grabbed a kitchen knife and held it in her hands keeping her eyes locked on the front door. She was scared Nick had followed her home, so now she was going to fight for herself as this was her safe place this was her home and he wasn't going to take that away from her like he did everything else. After what seems like a decade, Ace fall's asleep in her chair, with the knife still tight and firm in her hand.

"KNOCK KNOCK" 

Ace jumps out her seat, holding the knife out in front of her, she tries to reach for her phone on the table beside her, But its falls onto the floor as she goes to grab it.

"FUCK " Ace whispers.

"Who is it" Ace calls out towards the door. Dreading the answer, she bends down to grab the phone.

"Its Max" he loudly whispers through the letter box. Ace feeling embarrassed quickly puts the knife away and hides her bruises on her body she grabs her nearest grey hoodie and shoves it on. Then she puts her hair down to hide the marks around her neck.  Max countiously calls out for her to open the door. 10 minutes later she does.

Max looks at her laughing at first, thinking she was hiding something silly, but then he takes a second glance at her and begins to see her bruised face, her eyes are bloodshot and swolen. Her neck is near enough blue and black. He immediately slams the door open and looks for an imposter. He smells the flat out there is no other persons scent, except Aces. Looking astonished and stunned Max shots a look at Ace for a explanation.

Ace stays quiet unsure of how to answer. Biting her lip, she feels herself wanting to admit to everything in desperate despair.

"Who the fuck did that you and don't make me ask again" max yells from the top of his lungs, his eyes turn red his body becomes stronger and tensed. He veins drawing to the surface of his skin. Ace didn't even know how to respond, her brain was frazzled and all she wanted to do was sleep. Before she can even blink max's arms are placed round her body he ripped her clothes off there and then and falls back in horror and shock. Her body is covered in mark and bruises and fractures. He could smell all the blood running through her body, rising to her wounds all over skin. He began to turn red and if steam could come out of his ears,  I'm sure that would be happening to.

Digested and horrified he pleas for Ace to answer him immediately. Ace let's outs a small sob,  she ask him him let it go and repeats over and over again that she wish to talk about it.

Max becoming even more furious picks up her up and and helps her get intk her pjs before putting her to bed.

As she falls into a deep sleep he turns to her living room and searches through her things. He notices her new bags of clothes and receipts. With the name Mr Woods on them.

BINGO. He whispers to himself.

Going through her phone he finds the his contact number in her contacts down as her boss for work. Over loaded with disgrace and Diguest Max sends a text to Mr Woods from Ace's phone.

"Meet me outside work in ten minutes, we need to talk"

and with that he instantly got a reply from Mr Woods.

"That's my girl come back to your master and face your punishment...

woods"
