I don't know where I am going but I trust Ace.
He sent me an address this morning the way he said that he would. I was so relieved last night when he texted me and informed me that he was safe and at home. When he left the police arrived along with Eric and his father. My parents also called me later on to ask if I was okay. Catalina is the only one who knows what really happened.
I played dumb and acted as if I was clueless on what happened, and I even said that I didn't see anything. Rose did tell them that a man put something over her mouth and nose, and it knocked her out. She thankfully didn't see his eyes and his face was covered. She then questioned me on the disappearance of the cookies this morning. I told her that I was becoming anxious and that I began eating them all from the nerves.
No one has asked me anything since, but Eric might be suspicious. I'm not sure if he believed a word I said or not but I'm praying that he did. I can't let him find out about Ace. I've come to the realization that Ace is probably more powerful than him, but I still don't want him hurt in any way.
I'm interrupted by my thoughts when I step in front of the luxurious apartment building. I don't know if this is where Ace lives or why he asked me to come here. I am a little curious, so I walk in. The moment I do I am greeted by the doorman up front on a desk. He gives me a kind smile that I return as I look at the apartment number Ace texted me.
"I'm looking for apartment 108." I inform him. He nods looking down at a paper on the desk.
"Lucia?" He asks.
I nod immediately. "Yes, that's me."
He smiles and motions to the elevator. "Go up to the second to last floor and you should find it there." He instructs and I let out a small breath.
"Thank you." I see him reach for the phone as I head to the elevator.
I'm a little nervous for some reason. I'm used to meeting him outdoors, so this is different. I wonder if we will be alone because the thought of meeting his friend or sister makes me feel anxious. What if they think the worst of me for being married and being with Ace at the same time? But then again, he didn't mention me meeting anyone.
A few seconds later I am standing outside the door. I hesitate to knock as I reach my fist up to it. What if I leave? No, I can't do that when I already told him I was coming.
I sigh but before I get to knock the door opens and Ace appears in front of me. He smiles and it's a very attractive and beautiful smile. I don't even get to greet him because he grabs me by the face and kisses me hard the way he seems to like it.
"Come in." He pulls me in by the hand and closes the door behind us.
I hear a man and a woman talking and I almost faint. I've never been so nervous in my life. I guess it's because I really like Ace and I don't want the people he loves to not like me. It would make me feel bad and I don't want him to deal with that. Why didn't he warn me about this so that I could have prepared mentally?!
