Good For You

(Chapter.45) The Heat of The Moment

Apparently I had fallen asleep after the man left. I opened my eyes to the beautiful penthouse. It was empty, I was left handcuffed. 
So I fell into deep thought. 
Is there a such thing as the "perfect love?" Is every love perfect in its own way? Or do we go through life wondering and hoping we will find this person that always makes everything better? Will this be the rest of my life?  Will I be murdered by some man with an accent in a fancy penthouse? Is this what I've really been gearing up for all of my life? Is Ace and I's love even real? I feel so lost and sad. I feel hopeless and vulnerable. I don't know how I can get out of here. I'm just trapped here. It breaks my heart. I'm scared and I want to cry. But I don't want to give that man the satisfaction of me crying. I don't know what's going to happen, but I do love Ace. 
Next the man reentered the room. He punched me in the other jaw and laughed about it. Next he punched me in the nose. Blood was soon everywhere. He then took pictures of his work to send to Ace I'm guessing. He then left me alone again. 
A couple hours later the man force fed me stale saltine crackers. He chased them with warm water that had a thick chlorine taste. After forcing me to drink it he then let me know it was toilet water. I had never felt so grossed out in my life. Next he was gone again talking to Ace on the phone. 
"So, I've decided I'm going to kick this up a notch. I'm going to kill you in front of your husband!" The man exclaimed as he reentered the room.  I said nothing. 
"Oh you should've heard the conversation, I told your husband that as well. He got all worked up which is quite comedic to me. For years I've been trying to find a way to hurt Ace. He has always been rich and heartless. The man is a well known womanizer for crying out loud. He's never loved anything or anyone. But then everything changed. My dear he met you. Ace absolutely positively loves you. I believe he would do anything for you. A few years ago he was hired to kill my daughter. She was a drug addict that was in pretty deep, she even turned to prostitution to get money. Regardless of how much I was disappointed in her, she was still my little girl. Anyway one of Ace's men took care of the job. They slit her throat and left her to die, which she did. It was devastating to lose my daughter especially that way. Once again I apologize for putting you in this. I know you did nothing wrong. But I want Ace to understand how it feels to lose someone he deeply cares about. This is the only way I can think of to do it. I hope you've lived a good life seeing as it's coming to an end." The man explained.
I understand that this is Ace's job but I wonder if he knows how many people get hurt along the way. I wonder if he even cares. Maybe this guy does deserve his revenge. If I had a daughter I'd feel the same way as this man does. What good parent wouldn't? I think it's sad that not only did they slit the girls throat but they just left her there. That makes it a lot worse in my opinion. 
"Just do it, kill me and get your revenge." I finally responded. 
"Oh no my dear it will be in front of your husband but how noble of you." The man responded. 
Next the door flew open so hard that I thought it was going to come off the hinges. 
"Well, well, well I was wondering when you'd join us. I see you still make dramatic entrances of course. Take a seat the show is about to begin." The man said. Next the man put duck tape over my mouth again. Ace sat down in the chair and winked at me. He obviously has a plan. 
Next the man pulled out a gun and put it to my head. I could feel the cold barrel on my forehead. I closed my eyes to embrace the shot. Then I heard the shot. I jumped as hard as I possibly could. I then opened my eyes to see the man in front of me dead on the floor. Next Ace's group of people were fighting the man's group. There were gunshots everywhere, Ace unhandcuffed my hands and ankles. I stood up and fell from being in the chair so long. Ace came to help me and then his blood splattered on me as he hit the ground. Ace had been shot, the love of my life is on the floor fighting for his life. It's time to put up or shut up. I grabbed Ace's gun and took a deep breath. I next shot the man in the head that had shot Ace. The man hit the floor, his brain had splattered on the walls behind him. I looked around and every other bad guy was down. Next Ace's crew diligently picked him up and carried him out. Matthew picked me up and carried me to the car. He sat me next to Ace. I put Ace's head on my lap.
"Don't worry we will get through this. We have so much more to do together this isn't the end. I love you Ace McCoy and I always will. Don't give up on me. I need you Ace, don't stop breathing." I said while starting to cry. He didn't answer. I held his hand tightly and cried.
We then finally arrived at the warehouse. The men immediately grabbed Ace and took him in, Matthew grabbed me. Matthew took me to a separate curtain than Ace. 
"Matthew is he going to be okay?" I asked.
"We don't know as of yet. But the doctor is already with him. Once she's finished, she will be over here to check you. What you need to do now is stay calm. She's a brilliant doctor, everything will be fine." Matthew explained he then exited the room.
