"Liam is under my control now, sweetheart," Ace sneers, tightening his grip.
Amella's eyes blaze with defiance as she confronts him, "Why do you hate him?! Leave him alone!" His hold on her neck loosens slightly.
Gripping her hair tightly, Ace looks...

"I don't really care" Amelia states at Liam's statement. They both knew that she was lying. Something has changed between them. Something that may or may not be good, for both of them. There was a spark, a tension they both could feel yet they knew it won't end up well.
There was a reason behind it. A reason why they can't be together. Amelia knew how bad Ace is, and how deadly he is and Ace knew that having Amelia will awaken those monsters lurking around him. Ace knew that bringing Amelia here is one of his stupid decisions but Ace couldn't control his anger when his men informed him that Amelia is kidnapped.
"I didn't kidnap you," Ace says. Amelia looks at him, shaking her head. Her anger building up more and more.
"You are such a Liar, Ace. Fuck you. I fucking hate yo-" Before Amelia could say anything, Ace holds her neck from behind. His dark eyes looked straight through her soul.
"I mean it, Amelia. Someone is out there looking for you. My men informed me that you are kidnapped. It took me a whole fucking week and when I finally tracked you, I found you in a fucking basement. You were unconscious so I took you." Ace says, his voice cold and dangerous.
Amelia frowns, shaking her head again. Her heart was thumping in her chest loudly, she believed him. She didn't want to believe him but the seriousness on his face and voice said it all. Amelia knows when a person is lying, she could feel it. She was good at reading people and she was really good at sensing emotions. Right now, she could clearly tell that Ace was serious, there was that right sincerity in his voice even though it was cold.
"But...that ship" Amelia whispers, her eyes becoming tearing. It was too much for her. Her emotions were not in the right place, she was tired.
"It was mine. I didn't want you to know about this. That you were kidnapped by someone else so I kept you locked in that ship with...Liam's Twin. I thought that after he will gain your trust, we could talk about it but things didn't go as I planned. You are smarter than I thought, Amelia" Ace says with a light smile, one that did something to Amelia.
Even though her emotions were everyone, even though she was hurt there was something deep down in her heart that told her that she is safe. Amelia was scared, yes but not of Ace.
"What about Liam?" She questions, her worry clearly reflecting in her voice. Ace clenches his jaw, his mood changing into that of jealousy. He clenched his jaw, thinking of the answer.
"Answer me!" Amelia says in an angry tone. Ace tightens his grip around Amelia's neck. Amelia takes a deep breath, her body relaxing which did not go unnoticed by Ace who simply smirks.
"Liam is under my control now, sweetheart," Ace says.
Amelia glares at him, "Why do you hate him?! Leave him alone!" Ace loosens his grip on her neck.
He grips her hair in his hand, earning a small yelp. He looks deep into her eyes.
"You are smart, Amelia. I am sure you know the reason already You are mine and I won't let Liam come between us like before. You. Are. Mine." With that, Ace claims her lips once again.
