The Wonder Of You (Pentagon Series Book 1) {needs to go under drastic revisions}

Chapter 33 (What To Do?)

...And here is another chapter...

***

"You did what?" Michelle asks Ace, there is a confused smile on her face.

"I broke up with Trisha" Ace drawled.

"No, not that, the first part before you said you broke up with Trisha."

"I talked to Alex but I never had the courage to tell her my feelings, I left her in the garden."

"That was stupid." Michelle scoffs.

"I know, but I don't know what to do, I don't know how I would say that things haven't change, that I still..." Ace brushed his palm onto his face and rests his chin on his knuckles.

"That you still love her" Michelle continues his sentence.

"Things are now different Michelle." Ace rest his back on his chair. "After all the terrible things I've done to her, she's hurt, I awfully hurt her feelings, I don't think Alex would forgive me, I don't think she would want me back."

"You haven't tried it yet, why are you giving up so easily?"

Ace didn't answer; he turns his looks at the ceiling of his office and put himself into deep thinking.

"There is no easy way Ace, she needs to know, you've got to tell her."

Ace turns his eyes to Michelle.

"What if she doesn't feel the same way anymore? After my accident, I pushed her away, she did everything and then...I told her If I'm going to live my life again I don't want her to be a part of my life anymore. I hurt her feelings so much, what if she doesn't want me, I am so afraid to be hurt again and hurt her back."

"There's no assurance in this world Ace, there is no assurance in love, you need to bet, you have no other choice but to play, it's a gamble of chance for love."

"What do you think I should do?"

"I've been telling you this every time we talked about Alex...win her back."

The next day Ace went to Alex's restaurant. But hesitation keeps on flowing; he stayed inside his car and watched Alex from afar.

Ace is watching Alex talking to a customer, after a couple of minutes Ace wonder, the customer that Alex is talking to doesn't look like a customer. They're laughing, and they're seemed intimate. Ace look at them with anger in his eyes, he grabbed his cell phone and took a picture of the man Alex was talking to.

After he sends the picture, he dialed Tony's number.

"Yeah" Tony answered.

"Have you received the picture I sent?"

"Yeah"

"I want to know who is that person, is he married? What does he do? Does he have kids? Find out anything about that man."

"Wait...who is he?"

"That guy is someone who's messing with my wife."

Tony laugh, Ace far up the phone to his ear.

"What's so funny?"

"Alex is your ex-wife not wife and you don't really expect me to run a file for this guy."

"Why not?"

"Well, it's not my job, come on Ace."

"Tony please."

"Ace, I do everything you've ask, me, Michelle, Chase and Chloe. And we had gone too far. If you want Alex back you need to do it on your own."

"Tony I am asking as a friend."

"And I am telling you as a friend, if you want her back, do it yourself."

"I don't know how to do that. It's not that easy."

"Do you remember what Bob Marley said about amazing woman?"

"Yeah...If she's amazing she won't be easy, if she's easy she won't be amazing."

Tony continues the phrase.

"If she's worth it, you won't give up, if you give up you're not worthy."

Ace didn't answer there was silenced on the other line then Tony continue the phrase.

"The truth is everybody is going to hurt you, you just gotta..."

Ace butts in:

"You just gotta find the ones worth suffering for."

Tony chuckles.

"Exactly, I have one question for you Ace, is Alex worth suffering for?"

"She's amazing." Ace answered.

"Then prove you are worthy, go get her my friend."
