GINA



That night was perfect. Their colleagues have already found out about their upcoming wedding. Their co-workers offered handshakes, hugs and deafening good wishes, even though they were surprised at first because they knew that she and Ace are like dogs and cats who are always teasing and fighting. Judge Soler also agreed to officiate at their wedding. Brando Nicolas canceled his reservation tonight. The restaurant was about to close when Maryam arrived.



"I'm really sorry if I just arrived. I was stuck in the shop yesterday and now with so much work, I haven't been able to go home." Maryam explained to her.



"So you slept in the shop?" she immediately asked Maryam.



"Yes dear, I've never been able to give up control of my business. No matter how many people I hire to take charge of, I still follow up on things myself." Maryam said with a shrug. "I have lots of orders this w

ACE



She came into his arms as if born to be there. He felt her shiver, heard her moan his name softly and her arms tightened around him as she came closer.



"You feel so good," she whispered. "So right."



He put one hand inside Gina's top and caressed her breast. He spread his other hand across her back, massaging her.

He pulled himself away for a moment to look into Gina's closed eyes. He needs to stop this now...right now. But instead of stopping, his hands covered her breast again.

He felt too good. Too damn good. Stop. His conscience stopped him. He really needs to realize that what he is doing is wrong.



"Kiss me. Oh, please. Kiss me," her words were like ice water, a chilly re

ACE



The words shocked him speechless and he didn't know where Gina's question was coming from.



"I'm no longer a virgin, Ace." She said.



"I didn't expect you to be a virgin," he said honestly.



He got up from his seat and immediately took his jacket before he went to the exit door. Gina followed him and spoke continuously.



"We can sleep together." Gina said without hesitation.



"What do you mean, Gina?"



"I mean, we can consummate our marriage."



"I don't want to talk about those things," he stammered.



"Is that why you want us not to share a room when we get married because you think I'm still innocent of those things? Or maybe you think I'll just give myself to my 'real' husband in the future?"



He was still unmoved by what Gina was telling him and instead he continued to walk. Gina, on the other hand, continued to tail him.



"I don't care about it."



"Then w
