LOS ANGELES
Ace couldn’t dare to move himself because his knees were so weak as Jenny vented out her anger. It was true. Everything she said was true.
When Ace was seeing Jenny, he had said that he loved her. He said he has never loved any woman the way he loves her but he was seeing other women. Ace had used that same lines with every woman he had met in his life except Ivy Rivera.
Ace didn’t have to sugar coat his words when he met her. He had fallen in love with Ivy at first sight and she had changed him.
Why Jenny of all the women he had been with in the past? Ace remembered buying so many things for Jenny at that time. He thought satisfying her needs would solve it all. He had made sure to pay her each time they had sex and she never rejected his money. Even though she has some grudges against him, she shouldn’t have dragged his son into it.
“Jenny, please let my son go. He is innocent.” Ace said in a soft tone.
“Let him go? I don’t plan to let him go. Listen to me! I am not done telling my story!” Jenny pointed the gun at Leroy who cried out in fear.
“Please! Please Jenny! Don’t kill my son! Fine! We have enough time to talk.. I’ll listen to your story.” Ace pleaded.
“You.. You left me after you came back from that damn town! You stopped picking my calls, you didn’t text me back.. and when you did after.. one month-” Jenny paused as she pointed the gun back at Ace.
“You ended everything you had with me. You didn’t want to see me even after I begged you over the phone.” Jenny sobbed as she tried to calm down.
“Little did you know that I was.. carrying your child!” She blurted out after two minutes of silence.
Ace eyes widened in shock. Jenny was carrying his child back then and he didn’t suspect it.
“I left the country.. travelled to somewhere in Africa. I carried your child for seven months but-” Jenny stopped as more tears streamed down her cheeks.
“I lost my baby!” She said finally.
Ace was breaking apart into pieces when it hits him. Jenny carried his child for seven months and he didn’t know about it. Ace had cut off his ties with every woman he was seeing after he came back from Winslow, Arizona. It has been so hard for him to keep up his playboy scheme. He just wanted to be better for the girl he had spent time with for just a day. He had hope that he would see her again some day.
Jenny sniffled. “If you were with me.. it wouldn’t have happened. I would have had my child in my life then maybe I would have a better chance to be the main woman in your life just like his mother!” She grimaced in anger.
“Jenny, I.. I.. didn’t know you were carrying my child. You didn’t tell me-”
Jenny interrupted him sharply. “You didn’t want to see me! And would you have accepted the child if I told you back then?!” She demanded.
“Yes.” Ace replied.
“Liar! You would have denied it just to save your face and family’s reputation in the media!” Jenny countered.
“No, that’s not true! I would have accepted the pregnancy. I would have been by your side! I might be a playboy back then but-”
“You were irresponsible! Ace.. you didn’t want to study! You just wanted to get into anything on skirt!” Jenny let more tears flow down her cheeks.
“The most painful part of it all is that fact that I can’t even bear a child anymore! The moment I lost my baby.. it affected my womb and the only option I had was to remove it. You destroyed me, Ace Clark!” Jenny pointed the pistol into the air and she shot into the ceiling.
Leroy was terrified while Ace covered his ears to block out the sound.
“I couldn’t move on. I stayed in the hospital for a very long time. I lost my mind completely! Weeks turned into months and years went by until I saw you trending on the news. I got true information from a friend who works in the media. A one night stand, the billionaire playboy fell in love and Ace Clark’s Junior. You called off your wedding to Camilla after you found your son and you ended up marrying his mom. And I couldn’t stop thinking.. it should have been me in that position!” Jenny cried.
Ace looked straight at her. The hatred towards him ran deep in her eyes. Jenny wiped her tears with her free hand.
“You married Ivy Rivera. Is she better off than me? No, so.. so.. I started out with a plan. Him.” Jenny pointed at Jack. “He is my blood brother who was with me throughout those times I suffered greatly. Revenge, that’s all I had in my head throughout the years. It was hard to get into a residential area to abduct your pregnant wife so I settled for him instead. My plan is to destroy your happy family and the only way to do it is have someone close to you. My brother volunteered to apply for the post of a driver after you got your son a Bentley.” Jenny laughed but it soon faded quickly.
“It was all over the news but it only fueled my anger towards you! It should have been my son!” Jenny gritted in anger.
Ace realized that he had wronged Jenny completely. And it pained him more because his innocent family has been dragged into his past. His youthful exuberance and the mistakes he had made in the past has finally caught up with him unexpectedly.
Ace had wronged Jenny and he wondered if he could ever have a chance to make it right with her. It’s all his fault that his family was in a mess at the moment. He was still shocked by Jenny’s revelation of the past. He was stupid for toying with a lot of women and discarding them like a dirt into a trash can as if they didn’t have their own emotions.
