Chapter 128

• Hours later…
• Ace sighed as he finally closed his office door, grateful that another workday had come to an end. It had been a long and tiring day, with project deadlines looming and meetings piling up. Weariness seeped into his bones as he made his way to the car park, his mind craving nothing more than a restful evening at home.
• Slipping into the driver's seat, Ace leaned his head back against the headrest and closed his eyes for a moment, letting the quietness of the car envelop him. The rhythmic hum of the engine filled his ears as he navigated the familiar streets that led to his house. The constant throbbing in his temples slowly started to subside, replaced by a sense of anticipation for the comfort that awaited him at home.
