The Trap Of Ace
Emerald, a young woman haunted by a childhood promise, returns home after years, only to confront the man who unknowingly broke her heart. Now, he's engaged to her sister. As old wounds reopen and secrets unravel, Emerald must navigate a tangled web of past affections and present betrayals. Can she truly move on, or will she be ensnared once more in the trap of Ace?I stared at the girl before me, and her nervous eyes behind those black rimmed glasses were also set on me. Tentatively, I tucked a strayed strand behind my ear and bit my lip. She mimicked. I blinked, so did she.
"You done with your staredown match with yourself, Em?" A huff came from behind me. "For God's sake! You're doing this for the last five minutes! You're creeping me out now!"
I glanced at my best friend through the mirror. With folded arms on her chest, sitting at the edge of my bed, she scowled at me.
My eyes went back to my reflection. "I don't know, Beth. Do you think he- he'll like my look?"
"After we spent two hours to doll you up? Yes, we think that he'll like your look. And won't reject you when you announce your undying love for him," said my other best friend, Casie, standing beside Beth.
Reject. The same word that has been haunting my dreams for years now. I've been waiting for this day for six years. The day he said those words to me. I've been waiting since.
And if he rejects me today… I don't know what I'd do.
