ACE

Killing Ace

Lisa POV:

As soon as I entered the kitchen downstairs.

I had no idea where to look, so I just stared about, hoping to see Evelyn.

I approached the first maid I saw, shook my head, and tapped her shoulders.

I whispered, "Hey, uh, Ace asked for breakfast."

""I'll take care of that, did he ask for anything specific?" I shook my head and sat down in the chair as she asked.

"Where is Evelyn please?" I looked and asked.

"Upstairs in her room." She gave me a muttered smile.

I smiled back at her and started for the stairs.

"Oh, and Nurse Lisa, thank you, for helping Ace." In a whisper, she said.

I looked back at her, shocked at her words.

"Just doing my job," I said quietly walking away.

The smile never left my lips.

When I arrived, I saw a door open slightly.

Walking closer to it, I tried listening for a sound.

Then I heard someone whispering.

"I'm telling you, I give him that same injection, I have no idea how his awake."

The person whispered.

My eyes wide out when I recognize the Voice.

Evelyn kept whispering to the person on the phone.

"You told me it would kill him, not bring him back to live, how the f**k are we going to kill him then." She said harshly.

A grasp left my lips, before clapping my hand over my lips.

Quickly I walked towards my room when I noticed Evelyn stopped talking.

My heart was racing. What had I just heard?

Evelyn had been talking about killing Ace.

I opened the door to my room and closed it behind me, my mind racing with questions.

Why would Evelyn be involved in something like that? And who was she talking to on the phone?

I was filled with dread as I considered the possibilities.

I didn't want to believe that Evelyn was capable of such things, but the evidence was right in front of me.

Which made no sense, quickly I grabbed my phone and called my friend Emily.

After a few rings, she finally picks up

"Wassup girl." I heard Emily's happy voice on the phone.

"Uhm Emily, I need help with something," I whispered.

"So uhm, I'm working for a businessman now and I found an injection bottle that they used to give him, could you help me do some research on it pls," I said quietly.

"Sure, just send a picture of it."She said softly.

Nodding my head, I walked toward my bag where I kept the injection.

I thank God I took another bottle with me.

Quickly I took a picture of it.

Then sent it to her.

Quickly ending the call.

I tried acting normal so Evelyn wouldn't notice my mood.

Opened my door, and looked around the hall before taking a step out.

When the ghost was clear, I made my way downstairs.

The maid looked up with a smile when she saw me.

"Nurse Lisa, I was looking for you, here is your meal." She said handing me the food.

I gave her a smile and a 'thank you' before making my way upstairs.

Back to Ace's room.

When I arrived at his door.

I knocked on it, waiting for his reply.

'come in' he said loudly.

Smiling my heart beat slowly, I thought he fell or something.

I pushed the door open.

Smiling at him, I walked into the room.

"What took you so long?" He asked his green eyes on me.

"Uhm I went to the bathroom." I lied smiling at him.

He looked at me for a second before nodding his head.

For a moment I thought he knew I lied.

"Here's your food," I said quietly dropping the tray of food.

"Where's your food?" He asked licking his lips.

His eyes were on me.

"Uhm I forgot it downstairs," I whispered looking away from his eyes.

"Then sit, you are eating with me." He ordered making my open drop.

"I can't do that, Mr. Ace," I said shaking my head.

"But I told you to, now sit Lisa." He ordered.

Lord the way he calls my name.

Nodding my head, I sat by his bedside.

He pushed the food closer to me before looking up.

"Now let's eat." He said opening the plates.

"Ain't you going to pray?." I found myself asking.

"Pray?" He asked his voice deep with an accent I couldn't understand.

"Yes, pray, close your eyes and I'll pray," I said with a smile.

Ace looked at me for a moment before letting out a breath and then closing his eyes.

I found myself smiling at his action.

With that, I said a prayer before opening my eyes.

When I was done, I opened my eyes only to see him already staring at me.

Shaking my head, I picked up one bread and then took a bite of it.

"Come on eat," I mumbled looking at him.

Ace nodded his head before grabbing his bread, then ate it slowly.

We went back and forth eating, No words were shared.

When we were done, I grabbed the tray before standing up.

"I'll go bring your medications," I said with a smile as I made my way outside.

Ace said nothing but just watched me walk away.

When I closed the door.

I walked toward the stairs.

Dropping the tray, I looked at the maid.

"Thank you for this," I said softly.

She nods her head.

"Is Evelyn is here?" I asked softly.

"No, she left, packed her bags, and said she was going back to her home." The maid mumbled.

I looked at her shocked for a moment before nodding my head.

I walked back to my room to get Ace's medications.

But all I could think of was what was happening in this house.

Why did Evelyn try to kill her brother?

And why did she leave without telling him Goodbye?

A breath left my lips before shaking my head.

I just have to wait for Emily's message, so I will know what exactly they gave to him to put him in a coma for that long.
