(Devil's Marriage Trap) Chapter 49 -
“Brother, it’s not time for you to show you crawl in front of that damn bastard; now you’re not alone
anymore. Don’t forget now you have Noah to protect; I’m sure you remember what he promised to
David Xiver if you fail to protect Noah,
He will not care even if that bastard has our mother on his hand or not and kills him, brother. You know
as much as he needs us, we need him otherwise our mother ....”
Mike was not an emotional person for anyone but for his mother and brother. His emotions flowed out
of his mouth.
They have all borne everything for one person till now. If his brother wants to drown their hope near the
shore, how could he bear to see this happen? But he didn’t know why his brother suddenly changed
everything.
Only time will tell; Whatever his brother did for someone, he fell for unconditionally, which was even
more significant than any bond he had on this earth.
“Mike, if you don’t want me to throw you out of my house, don’t come here to poke your nose; I know
what I must do.” Ace looked at Mike coldly as he said.
“Bro, I think you should take the first step; otherwise, that damn old man won’t stop until he gets what
he wants since we already did what we needed to do.
“Don't get started here.” Ace didn’t want to listen to their nonsense, so he was about to leave the office
when Adam burst in furiously, following Aiden behind him.
Adam looked like a wounded tiger as he looked at Ace’s face; he couldn’t hold himself anymore and
threw punches at Ace, who had never lowered his guard even against the air but easily dodged it.
Adam got even more furious when he saw he couldn’t hit Ace’s face; before he could attack again,
Mike grabbed him from behind and dragged him away from Ace.
“Oh ho, what are you doing? Mr Richard.” Mike could never bear anything that would hurt his brother;
he hates it very much when someone wants to hurt Ace.
But Adam was never afraid of these Welsh brothers because he knew what he did right now was right;
if David had been on his spot, he would long strangle the man before him.
“How dare you touch her? Do you want to die? bast*rd.” The fury in his eyes came out with his words
as if he couldn’t bear Ace Welsh’s presence.
“Adam, just shut up.” Aiden stopped him before Adam could spill out the dark truth in front of so many
people because Nina wouldn’t like someone to look at her with pity, which she hated since she was
little.
Three years ago, Nina changed. She used to seek attention and love from everyone, and she loved
and trusted people quickly, but it changed since that day; she now caged herself in herself.
She hates when someone pities her; she would hate it even more if the person who gave her the pain
showed sympathy toward her because she was now miserable.
Ace looked at them with a confused but sharp glare. He could sense Aiden was trying to stop Adam
from spilling something he shouldn’t because it might cause something immediately.
“Adam Richards, don't always shake your tail before me. I'm not a very patient person. If you want to
say something, speak. Don't act like a hooligan before me; I'm not patient. I might answer you the
same way you want, and David Xiver is not here to protect your tail. You might be his brother, not mine,
so don't act recklessly."
Ace wouldn’t even bear his brother’s tantrum, let alone a man who had no relationship with him.
The moment Ace spoke, everyone around him felt his overwhelming aura since they hadn’t seen this
man get angry yet. This was the first time since they came here Ace talked in this tone; even Adam felt
flustered by his tone.
“Mr. Welsh, I don’t think you should blame him for this situation; he is just a little over-possessed about
Nina since she is our sister, and because of you, she is not okay. I don’t blame you for anything.
Everything happens for a reason, but don’t forcefully overstep Nina’s boundary. She had suffered more
than you can imagine, so please respect her.” Aiden looked at Ace as if he were saying so much to hint
at something, and he knew Ace Welsh was not a fool.
He would know he had hidden meaning behind his words. He didn’t want to reveal anything to them,
but he wanted to see if Ace Welsh was capable and cared enough about Nina to find everything; only
then would he know if this person was the right one to heal Nina’s hidden wound.
Aiden dragged Adam and walked away.
Ace’s face turned dark as he heard Aiden very clearly, but Aiden’s words left him in a daze; the words
were clear, but the meaning behind his words was hidden; darkness was in his light. He knew earlier he
had overstepped her boundary.
But what happened to her to make Adam Richard's act like this? He knew this boy always made
everyone lose patience, but he wouldn’t act like this without reason.
“Brother, do you want me to return Adam Richard to S country?” Mike knew Adam always got on his
brother’s nerves.
“No need.” Ace didn’t want to mess with David Xiver since he made both of them accompany Noah,
which means he trusted them enough with Noah’s life; right now, their priority should be Noah’s
treatment, not anything else. Also, he felt something was off with Nina Xiver, but he felt this was not
only for him.
Whenever they were in public, the girl would always cage herself in a shell and show that no one
existed around her. He noticed it, but he ignored it because it was not something he should involve
himself with; she was no one to him other than his son’s mother.
But today, something changed inside him, and he wanted to know more about this girl; when he first
met her, she was different than her current self; he thought she had grown up after so much, but it
seemed this was related to something else.
“Theo, come inside, and you, Mike, go back and do what I asked you.” Ace looked at Mike. Instead of
answering him, he pulled Theo inside and shut the study room door on Mike’s face; Mike pouted, his
brother always treats him like an extra.
Inside the study,
“I want you to find out more about Nina Xiver.” Ace looked at Theo with a severe gaze.
Theo looked at Ace with an even more severe gaze. “What do you want me to find out?”
“How she was all these years since that night.” Ace’s words surprised Theo.
“What do you mean?” Theo looked surprised; he didn’t notice anything unusual about the girl.
“I touched her today, and she showed an unusual reaction as if my touch burned her; I thought she was
shy, but it seemed something else was going on; you heard Dr. Aiden right now; he is not revealing
anything, but he hinted something as if he threw a puzzle at him.
He had a gut feeling about this and knew he could never be wrong.
Theo fell momentarily silent upon hearing Ace’s words. He also noticed Nina’s reaction earlier; he
thought she was shy toward the strangers, but it seemed something was wrong. Otherwise, Ace
wouldn’t think so.
“Okay, let me go through everything; I’ll let you know in seven days.” They also agreed.
“3 days, you need to find it in 3 days,” Ace said.
“WTF, man, three days. Do you want me to dig out three years' records in 3 days? Are you out of your
mind? Even though I have a smart mind, don’t mean I can spin my brain out and find out anything I
want, especially since the girl is David Xiver’s sister; I’m sure he hides everything from the world. I
need time.” Theo cursed inwardly but still said to the man in front who acted like he had god’s power.
“If you don’t want me to take back your lab, do as I said, put everything else in Pause, and focus on this
matter.” Ace didn’t give him a chance to speak because everything else could go to hell when it came
to his lab. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Theo gritted his teeth. “You can just ask Mike to find out about it; why are you involving me?” he had
more important things to do.
“Mike is not suitable for this matter; just do what I asked you; if possible, try to talk to her to find out
more. I think something is going on.” Ace looked puzzled and deep in thought.
Ace looked at the greedy man in front of him. He knew if he gave him what he wanted, he would even
go underground to find out what he wanted.
“Sure thing! We're in business, buddy, but unearth the truth, not just pick it up," Ace chuckled. He was
game for getting his hands on whatever he fancied, even if it meant splashing some sea-sized cash.
“Deal, I will be a secret detective for three days. Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you.” Theo left dancing
with his happy tail.
Ace looked at the blank wall and fell into deep thought. ‘Nina Xiver, what is there that I don’t know
about you.” Draмaոovеls.cом
Inside Nina’s room,
Adam looked at Nina, who lay on the bed with her hands tightly tied together; it was Aiden who tied her
hands since she couldn’t stop rubbing her skin; she almost peeled her skin; it felt like if she rubbed a
little more, blood would come out.
“Why did you stop me earlier? Don’t you see what he had done?” Adam couldn’t stop himself from
getting furious; Nina hadn’t reacted like this since Noah turned 2; they thought she had almost
recovered.
But today, this came back; earlier, when Adam and Aiden returned, they noticed Nina was still in the
washroom. In the end, they had to enter the bathroom forcefully and saw Nina keep rubbing her skin to
wash off the place where Ace Welsh touched her.
She lost her mind and kept murmuring she was dirty as if these old memories became fresh into her
mind, when Aiden tried to stop her, she became violent and in the end, Aiden had to put her in sleep
with medicine forcefully.
To stop her from harming herself, they used the same method: they tightly tied her hand to her clothes
and put her on the bed.
“Nina won’t like it if you reveal her condition in front of them; they are like a stranger to her, and in
Nina’s mind, Ace Welsh is someone who violated her even though she couldn’t remember,
