Bad Boy Billionaire

9. The corpse

Perv. of Ace:

„Yeah? Aunt Amanda?“ I was confused that aunt Amanda called me. Normally she just called me on weekends or late in the afternoons. Asking me how I was doing or if I would like to come to there home eating dinner. But on school time she would never call me. Unless something happened. I was begging it had nothing to do with Joanna.

„Ace..“ I heard her sobbing. In this moment I loose control. My breath started to get really heavy and my mind blank.

„They found her, Ace. They.. they found Joanna. Shes dead, Ace.“ She added, and I was struggling to understand her right due the sobbing.

F**k.

This could not be true. How? How was this possible?

„I am coming.“ With this words I hanged up the call trying to control the inner devil in me, wich was getting furios. I kicked the f*****g wall. Again and again. Not caring about the students, wich were getting quit in the hallway noticing me. I did know something bad happened when I heard her sobbing but I did not believe something like this would be the reason. My mind could not process it. The devil in me did not want to accept it. I punish the wall and screaming out from the top of my lungs. Again and again. Letting the devil do what ever he wanted. Letting the devil loose his anger and frustration to the wall in the hallway. After a time I stopped exhausted and leaned my head against the wall for support. What was going on here? Why did they find Joannas dead body suddenly? I believed in her. I believed that she was still alive. Somewhere in this f*****g world. Waiting for me to come and save her. But I was not strong enough, to protect the only human, who knew me like nobody else. I loosed her. I loosed again one of my closest member. She was way to young for letting me alone. I was not ready for this. What am I supposed to do now?

F**k.

My blood was boiling due anger. I could feel the sweat i was soaking in after I was finished with the wall. This situation was driving me crazy. I needed to go the the mansion of my aunt and find out what the f**k just happened.

I let go off the wall and made my way out of the building. Thankfully the students stepped away without a world, scared that they would be the next one, who was going to end like the f*****g wall.

When I was out of the building I walked fast to the parking spot, when I heard someone calling my name out loud. I turned angry back ready to smash the head of who ever was about interrupting me from getting to my aunt and finding out what happened. Adrian was running to me with his laptop in his armsY he was breathing heavy like he just came from a running marathon. It annoyed the s**t out of me. I did nit have time for his f*****g break.

„Ace..“ he tried to speak but stopped to gasp for breath.

„What!?“ I screamed pissed of. He was not talking. What a sop.

„Adrian! Speak! Now!“ I yelled at him and pulled him by his shirt near to me. If he was not going to speak in the next second I was would beat the s**t out of him. My devil was begging for it. He got scared like hell and stopped breathing in the same second.

„I-I checked h-her, Ace. I waited f-for you yesterday, b-but you did not c-come.“ he started to stuttering.

„And?“ I looked at him sharply.

„She is clean. She lived her whole life in Blackhill with her mother. They habe no contact to the father or other family members. She has excellent marks. No police records. No abnormality. I am sorry, Ace. I could not find anything.“ Adrian explained and avoided to look at my confused and emotionless face. He fixed his shirt, because I let him go due to shock.

S**t.

Bella was telling the truth all the time and I was playing with her like a f*****g jerk! This was the last thing I wanted to get to know about today. I did not say anything to Adrian. I stepped to my motorcycle and drove away from the school.

Adrian was a little genius on the university. There were nothing he could not find out with his laptop. He was like a hacker. My hacker. With a bit money, he could find out everything I ever wanted about who ever I wanted.

When I got to know about Bella I immediately called him and gave him the trail to check her up and inform me right after he is finished about everything. Yesterday night, when I drove her to the dorm, he called me and told me he checked her and when I was on my way to him, the f*****g lift has to stop working. I was the whole night with Bella. This girl was driving me crazy as f**k. No matter how heard I tried, all I wanted was to be in her near. And when I was not in her near I could not stop thing about her. She was truly something spezial. I never met any other girl like her in my life. Altrough I was caged in the lift, I was feeling free with her. All I wanted to stay with her for ever and don‘t let this night ever end. In this time I did not even know that she was actually innocent. Still, I was craving for her taste. Alle her movements. Her looks. Her giggle. Even her tears. Everything she did was driving me crazy. My heart broke when I saw her starting crying, when I told her about my parents. I still can not believe I actually tell her about them. She was making me comfortable as f**k. I could not do anything, but trist her and her reaction broke my heart. Never ever did I think she would turn out to be this sensitiv. I could not stop my self from getting to her and make her stop crying. And when she slept at my should I felt how my heart wormed up. Not, it was burning like fire. I could smell her parfume all the night. She was smelling like vanilla. After awhile she tried to search for a better position ending up hugging me, like I was about to leave her forever.

F*****h adorable.

He whole night I was gaping at her pure face. She was so beautiful. She had a beautiful face with big brown eyes and full lips. Her hair were long and falling on her face and I gentle rub them away. How am I supposed to hold myself back from attacking her lips in the future? The only thing kept me away was the insecurity about her who she really was. The whole situation is getting worser and worser.

When I reached the mansion I could see the patrol car parking in front of the house. Two officers stepped out of it. Mr. Audley was in the back waiting for them. One of the officers opened the door for him and he get out as well. They entered the mansion and I made my way to the front door.

„Ace?“ I turned around when I heard my aunt Amanda and immediately hugged her. She was crying her eyes out.

„John just got back. He had to identify the corpse.“ She cried out loud. I rubbed her back trying to comfort her a bit.

„Everything is going to be okay.“ I whispered heartbroken. „Let go inside the house, okay?“ I added and did not let her go. I kept her head on my shoulder and we walked together im the mansion. I needed to talk to officer Snow. Something was not matching in the whole story and I knew he would be here. When we stepped in the living room officer Snow directly noticed me and stood up from he couch.

„Ace Adems.“ He said keeping his eyes on me.

„Officer Snow“ He replayed with the same energy.

„Shoulden‘t you be at the universitiy?“ he asked directly with a confused tone.

He is f*****g kidding me. I did not give a f**k about my studies at all.

„Well, I got a call from my aunt that the dead body of my cousin just got found, what do expect me to care about more? My f*****g studies?!“ I yelled furiously. My aunt touched my shoulder and I turned back to see in her broken face.

„Language, Ace.“ she just whispered. I rolled my eyes, but did not talk back. She was like a mother to me and the only person I allowed to determine about me.

„How is it possible that the dead body got suddenly found after one year? What were you doing all the time?“ I fixed my gaze on officer Snow.

„Do the kids nowadays not read the news anymore?“ he throw his words in the room looking confused around.

S**t.

Of course the f*****g news already knew about it. The case of Joanna was populate in our town. They used to report everything about her, when she was missed a year ago. The only thought that came to my mind in that second was Noe. Now I knew why he was gaping frozen on his phone.

S**t.

In the same moment when I got the call from my aunt he already knew that Joanna was dead.

„A jogger found the corpse in the morning at the edge of the forest. The pathologist already told us, that the body of Joanna Audley was dead since a year. We are waiting for the autopsy now, to know how she died.“ Officer Snow sat back on the couch and touched the shoulder of Mr. Audley to show him his commiseration. My aunt and mr. audley were just sitting there lost and starring to the front. I never saw them heartbroken like that. Just in that same second the phone of officer Snow rang and he picked up the call directly. Hey was sounding surprised and told the caller that he was on his way. He hang up the call and stood up.

„I need to go now. We got a important clue about a girl, Bella Stone, who just started to study at the greenwood university. She knows Joanna and as luck would habe it, the corpse showed up after one year. I need to find out what the girl has to do with Joanna.“ He told us with a serious mine and started walking to the front door.

F**k.

What was going on here? Who did made this call to the police office?

„S-Stone?“ suddenly I heard mr. Audley asking confused and in show.

„Do you know her, John?“ officer snow turned around rapidly.

„N-no. I do not know her.“ mr. Audley made clear fast.

He did know her. I could see it in his eyes. He did know Bella.

F**k.

What was going on here? My mind started to spin around. This was getting to much for me. Someone called the police office and told them about the incident with the photo, at the same time I did found out that mr. Audley knew Bella Stone. He lied to officer Snow, no matter, if it was about the dead of his own daughter. To keep the fact, that he knew Bella was more important. What was going on here? What kind of a s**t was going on here?
