Chapter 9: A Hard Life-9

She's in prison, and she's practically using her body as gambling money. Why would she tell him that?

Anna hung up the phone.

Ace, are you having a bad time too?

Ten years. Even if you had a cat or a dog, you'd still have feelings for it, right? Even if you're in a play and stay in it too long, you may need help to get out of it.

It's just I'm not that Anna anymore.

For us, we're done.

But between you and Daisy, you still owe me a child and money.

Ace collapsed on the couch. The woman was crazy. All she could think about was money. But she'd go to another man if he didn't give it to her.

Any man with money, any man, she would come to them.

His heart was twisted by a giant hand.

Ten years ago, when she was fifteen, she walked into the trap he set, looking up at him. When she was eighteen, she walked into his bed. She'd been with him ever since. He always felt in his heart that only Anna owned him. He was the only man in her heart. Even when they broke up, she would never have anyone else.

But now, not only did she have someone else, she started selling her body.

Not only had she become a whore, but she made sure to keep reminding him of this fact.

Ace waited for his phone to ring, for the shameless woman to call him. But he stared at the phone for a long time and no more calls came.

Ace took a deep breath and decided to call Anna back.

When the call was dialed, he gulped nervously. Sweat covered his back. The image he had pictured of Anna in bed with another man for money was so vivid that when he heard "Hello," Ace's heart went back into his chest.

"Where are you?"

"Just about to go out."

Going out?

Ace clenched his fists, "Come to my place."

"But I have an appointment with someone else." Anna had just had a doctor's appointment and had to make a trip to the hospital.

Ace closed his eyes, "I suggest you'd better come to my house right now, or there won't be anything good waiting for you when I come for you!"

Anna heard his tone. He was very angry now. So after she hung up, she rescheduled her appointment with the doctor for the next morning and took a cab to Ace's villa.

When Ace saw Anna, he patted the couch next to him, "Sit here."

He handed Anna a check, "Here's your allowance for the month. You have to come to my place every night for the next month. But you have to remember one thing, when you're in my bed, don't fuck around with anyone else."

Anna smiled happily and took the check, kissing it a couple of times before putting it in her purse as if she was afraid Ace would back out, "Don't worry, since I'm taking your money, I'll never mess around with another man. I promise to clean myself up for you every day this month."

Anna was really glad that she didn't have to find another way out to have his baby.

If they did this every night, she'd get pregnant.

Ace stood up and lit a cigarette. Anna hadn't mentioned her father or their old feud from start to finish, acting so calm and natural.

The more she did, the more Ace felt very uncomfortable.

When he got out of the shower, Ace saw that Anna was taking a pill. He knew it was some long-term birth control pill.

He took a deep breath. By this time, Anna had changed into her pajamas. She came over to him, hooked her arms around his neck, and started kissing the knot of his throat, "I took your money, so I can't make you wear a condom. I'll take the pill, and you can enjoy me more directly."

Ace grabbed the woman's ass violently, "When did you get so fucking cheap?"

"Don't you know it? I've been cheap since I was eighteen, haven't I?" She kissed him, giggling.

Ace couldn't laugh. All he could do was pin her to the bed and thrust into her as savagely as he'd lost his mind, spanking her, "How many men have fucked you! SAY IT!"

However, Anna just smiled and said nothing. She answered Ace's question with an even more frivolous moan.

Ace knew that this month Anna was his, and he could fuck her all he wanted. He paid for a whole month to have Anna serve him alone. But it was just business. After this month, she would have nothing to do with him.

He wondered if he would start to get restless again then like he did today.
