Love Me Harder c120
Months had gone by and we hadn't gotten another opportunity with Leonardo. After the incident in A3, he's definitely been a lot more careful.I had been with Ace's mafia for over a year now. We strayed from capturing Leonardo for awhile, something bigger came up in Ace's mafia that required our attention.Ace and I had grown very close. I would call him my best friend now. However he was complicated man. I don't know if he'd say the same about me, I could just be a pawn in his bigger game but he's my best friend that's for sure. Although recently he started confiding in me about his father. I've still to meet his father even though I live in the same house. Kai is rarely home."My father is insisting on marriage. He wants my heir as soon as possible, he's probably planning on murdering me and raising my heir to his beliefs, obviously because I wasn't so easily manipulated" Ace remarked as he sat on the edge of my bed. I was just sitting on my laptop, humming every couple of seconds so

"We've made no progress Ace!" I slammed my hand on the table in his office."He knows we're fucking looking, obviously it's going to be harder to find him than before Alex!" Ace stated, standing up from his chair. He approached me, getting in my face."Don't think you can ever speak to me like that either. I'll drop this whole case in a second because all of this is for you" He yelled, throwing his phone across the room.He was furious but so was I."We've had opportunities but you've been too busy with this arranged marriage" I shouted back, I wasn't backing down this time. We had slowed down; we were 10 steps behind.Ace turned 18 a few weeks ago. He was preparing for his marriage but it was interrupting our business. I knew this would happen but I would of never expected how angry I'd be. I was murdering innocent people to reach Leonardo. I was murdering people who knew information, even if it wasn't by choice. I couldn't leave a trace."I don't have a fucking choice Ice, you're m

"Why didn't you- why didn't you call me for the funeral?" She questioned, wiping away her tears as seemed to sink into the couch. I stared at the wall, why didn't I call her?."Do you want the truth?" I asked, swallowing back my grief. I knew telling her the truth would hurt her."Of course" She replied, her voice still breaking from crying moments ago."I hadn't spoken to you in months, I just didn't think you cared enough anymore. I also didn't want to drag you into our mess. I couldn't just ring you up and say Avery had died. I couldn't make you just stop your life for us" I spoke as my eyes welled up with tears."I would've thought Alex, I would've," Deja said softly as she rubbed my back soothingly."I'm too far gone" I whispered, before glancing over at her."I'll always be here, no matter how far you go" she spoke reassuringly."Where are you living Alex?" She asked curiously, wiping the tear from my face with her finger."I live with a work colleague" I stated; I knew it was v

We stood at the entrance to the nightclub.I didn't know many people that attended but I had been cut off from the world a long time ago. I didn't even have a phone. No way to contact people for a long time unless it was face to face. Ace and Dante seemed to know everyone here, greeting different people.I attempted to enter but the bouncer shoved me back."What the fuck?" I grumbled, staring at the bouncer who not only towered over me but was pure muscle."I don't know you, you're not coming in" he grunted, shaking his head, keep his palm flat against my chest."You- He's with me" Ace interrupted suddenly, standing in-front of me. He also towered over me. I was tall, 6'0 exact. But Ace was 6'3 and had a big build."My bad" The bouncer uttered, letting us through; He almost looked scared of Ace. I wondered how much power this man truly had. I feel as though everyone would be curiousWe entered the club, immediately walking up a set of red carpet stairs. We slipped through a draped cl

I put the gun to his head and sighed."Then I guess I'll have to slaughter you here" I stated."Do it, you never would" my father grinned."I wouldn't underestimate him if I was you" Ace reassured him, his eyebrows raising; It's almost like he was giving advice."I'm not the same little boy you left behind anymore, I'll kick your ass" I warned him, my face showing nothing except a blank expression.This was bigger than us. Bigger than me and him. This was about avenging my little brother. I knew I wasn't going to let him leave. I knew I wouldn't let either of them go. My thirst for revenge was unbelievably strong. I had to kill someone for his death."Why do you even want to kill us" Leonardo spoke, still holding his hands in the air. I wondered if his arms were going numb. I hope he drops them so I can shoot him.I looked at Leonardo and leaned in close to his face. "Look at my eyes, do they look familiar?.""Yes-um-no-um" He stammered trying to decide what was the best answer. I sho

I threw another punch, my hand covered in Leonardo's blood."Please stop!" He begged, blood spilling from his mouth as he tried to speak.I couldn't feel any mercy for him, no matter how hard I tried. I couldn't feel anything, and the things I was going to do to my father, would be so much worse.Ace stood in the corner of the room, smoking a cigarette. He always seemed to have one with him; he says it helps calm him down. I don't believe that though. I've witnessed Ace being angry, nothing calms him.He began to walk out the door before saying, "Ice, I've got to go. I'll see you at the meeting in my living room tonight""I thought it was a party," I replied, rubbing my hand which was sore from hitting Leonardo so many times. I hadn't been to Ace's house in a few days. I stayed with Deja while we dealt with Andrew and Leonardo."Mm, it is, kind of," he replied before shutting the heavy metal door behind him. That was a bit suspicious.Ace and I were divided on what to do with our cap

I watched as Sofia took a seat next to Kaylo I only knew her name because I had heard Ace mention it previously. No one liked Kaylo, not even me. I don't know why Ace keeps him around, probably because of his father. I watched as Kaylo slid his hand onto her thigh. Sofia reacted viciously, mumbling something I couldn't hear; This girl had a bit of viciousness to her. That's how it seemed anyway.All I knew is that Kaylo was lucky Ace hadn't noticed. I was tired, it had been a long day and I felt like kicking up some drama."Who are you bringing to the ball, Ace?" Someone chirped, I didn't notice who said it.Ace clenched his teeth, not replying. I saw my opportunity."Are you bringing Sofia?" The same person asked."Sofia is just another one of Ace's whores. Look at her, she's dressed in his clothes from earlier" I winked at Ace, expecting him to laugh.Ace looked over at Sofia, who was sitting by Kaylo uncomfortably, barely speaking. I saw his eyes darken."His dad always chooses wh

I stood in-front of the mirror as I checked my tie. I wore a dark blue suit with glossy, black shoes."Alex, stop checking yourself out and help me!" Dante whined from the bathroom.He couldn't do his tie. I just laughed as he stood quietly, looking defeated."Why do neither of you two know how to do your ties, I was the one who grew up without a father you know?" I sighed.Dante wore a brown suit with brown leather shoes and a black tie to match. His suit had a checkered pattern woven into it. I rolled my eyes after doing his tie in two seconds. Dante seemed nervous as he stood by the mirror. I noticed a glimmer of doubt in his eyes."What did you think of Sofia?", he asked suddenly, breaking the silence and grabbing my attention."Not much, she seems more like a distraction if anything. I want her gone", I scoffed, as I sat on the edge of my bed."I liked her, she seemed nice", Dante smiled stupidly in the mirror.It seems like he also has a crush now even though he's bringing his '

Ace rose from his office chair for the first time in days, and put on his iconic black suit. I've never witnessed a man wear a suit so much.He did his hair and buttoned up his shirt.I stood in-front of him."What are you doing?" I asked, acting like he was crazy."What do you mean, 'what am I doing?'" He widened his eyes at me."Why are you getting all dressed up?" I asked, pretending it was obvious."Because I want to look good," he responded blankly, blinking a few times. He was so clueless, it hurt to watch."Are you joking? Do you not know women at all?" I questioned him, starting to unbutton the top of his shirt. I ruffled his hair and his heartbroken appearance was falling back into place. Ace stared at me, his expression was emotionless. I couldn't help but laugh at him because I knew he was annoyed that undid everything he had done."Tell me you're joking, I'm not going to see her like this." Ace threw a tantrum."Ace, I'm telling you, she'll see it all over your face, that

What the fuck had happened?I hadn't been asleep for that long, had I?Where's Sofia?Where's Ace?Those questions kept playing in my mind, like a record player on repeat, as I drove Dante to the hospital. He was clutching his arm, which was bending the wrong way. I was worried; for him, for us, for everyone. There were cracks in our friendships and they were beginning to show."I can't believe he did this," Dante spat, clearly attempting to distract himself from his arm."What the fuck happened?" I snapped suddenly, which seemed out of the blue for Dante but I still hadn't been told anything about what had happened. I was still in the dark and he wasn't shedding any light on the situation."I was just in the living room, until I heard Sofia and Ace arguing from the kitchen. I hadn't really ever heard them argue before so I stood up from the couch, and all of a sudden, Sofia storms through the living room, not even looking at me. She heads for the hallway and leaves.The girl just lef

I was in my room with Dante, watching a movie. He had expressed that he was beginning to dislike Sofia because she was taking up so much of Ace's attention. More like she wasn't giving Dante any. I blocked out his rambling by focusing on the tv. "Are you even listening?" Dante sneered. "Yea, yea, we don't like Sofia, I get it," I mumbled, stuffing more popcorn into my mouth. "You don't understand." He sighed. "I do," I said, my attention turning back to the tv as a really intense moment happened in the movie. I could hear his voice in the back of my mind, but I wasn't concerned. Dante wouldn't hurt a fly and he certainly wouldn't hurt Sofia. Plus I'm sure Ace would murder him if he tried. I hadn't spoken to Sofia since the day I found her in my room. I hadn't saw her and I didn't know if it would be awkward. I kind of disliked her but it wasn't hatred anymore. I had given up on hating the girl for no reason; but just as I let my vendetta go, Dante begins his. This girl couldn't ca

"What pitstop?", Dante asked, unbuttoning his suit jacket and taking it off. "It's just a quick one", I reassured him. We climbed into the Porsche and drove away from the murder scene, knowing we'd never have to face the consequences of our actions. It was strange; being able to murder someone and not end up in prison. Even if police came knocking on Ace's door, he'd either pay them off or they'd go missing. Ace made his message loud and clear to the government. If they didn't let Ace go about his business, there would be war, and he would win. "Do you ever think about the things we do?" Dante muttered, as if he was thinking out loud. "Sometimes." I replied quickly, watching the trees go by through the window. "Do you think we're bad people, do you think karma exists?", he questioned, his concentration on the road yet his mind was somewhere else entirely. "No, i think we're just morally fucked." I answered, glancing over at him. "Yea, definitely fucked alright. I doubt any of u

"I'm not here to fight you Alex, as much as I'd like to. I've brought you here, to tell you I need Leonardo back. After all he is your brother. Well....half brother" he stated, and I swear I could've been sick. He didn't look anything like me and that's when it hit me. Yes, he didn't look anything like me, but he looked like Avery. The same dark hair and eyes. They couldn't have been brothers. Leonardo couldn't have been more of his brother than me.It couldn't of been possible. He was only his apprentice. Surely he wouldn't leave his son..... oh my god.I was so confused. Leonardo didn't have the same second name as Avery and I; then I felt like someone had stabbed me in the chest, I couldn't breathe. Anderson was my mothers surname. Not my fathers. I never knew it wasn't his, but the look on her face said everything. I never got the name Accardi because he didn't want us to be associated with him. I had lived my whole life never knowing my fathers name. I was going to be violently s

We walked through the empty apartments, choosing to take the stairs over the sketchy elevator. I'd rather not get stuck and die in an old elevator. There was so many flights of stairs and Dante was already sweating by the second one. The paint on the walls had peeled so it was a patchy mess. The stairs themselves were dirty, as if a cleaner had not been here in months. I didn't dare to touch the handrails.As we trudged our way up the stairs, a man who was clearly a drug addict passed by us, throwing us a glare. Dante took it to heart."Why did he look at us like that? I'm offended." He muttered, slightly out of breath."Dante only people that struggle live here, and I'm sorry but we don't struggle anymore because of Ace, you came here in a suit for godsake!" I rambled, which only made Dante more defensive."What's wrong with my suit? I like my suit, thank you very fucking much!" He argued, rolling his eyes like a child."I like the fucking suit Dante, but I'm just saying, these peopl

I had been busy the last few days with mafia related business, so I hadn't been home much; but I was today."Why do you eat so fucking loud?" Ace grumbled to Dante who was eating my cookies in his office. He was slouched in the chair and looked miserable for some reason."What is your problem, bitch?" Dante asked, spewing cookie crumbs everywhere. The palm of my hand slapped my forehead. These two were idiots, I'm living with idiots."Would the both of you just shut up?" I hissed."Fuck you Ice," Dante sneered."Fuck you Dante," I spat, scowling at him."Yeah, fuck you Dante." Ace glared at him."I'm leaving, fuck this," Dante snapped, suddenly becoming angry. I didn't think he was joking, but Ace carried on with the joke."You're a pussy." Ace rolled his eyes."I'm a pussy?" Dante sneered, turning back around and walking towards Ace."You heard me," Ace said, with a big smirk across his face."I'm the fucking pussy," Dante shouted, sounding as if he was in disbelief. "Says the one wh

I hadn't left my room in days, Dante had tried to bribe me out with food but little did he know, I'd rather not eat anyway.I had fallen deep into depression, deeper than I had ever gone before. Breathing was difficult. I stared at the blank wall, trying to process my thoughts. I had nothing left anymore, no revenge, no purpose.Until I heard a knock at my door."Ice, you might want to see this!" I heard Dante say urgently, he was behind the door."I don't" I rejected his proposal."Is this you?" He asked, and it caught my attention. What was he talking about?I climbed to my feet with a groan and unlocked my door, opening it to reveal Dante. He held a golden locket in his hand, which dangled gently."It's a locket?" I rolled my eyes about to shut my door again."No look," he pleaded before I turned back to him.I watched as his chunky finger pressed the smallest button on the side of the locket. It opened to reveal a picture of Avery and I as kids. My eyes widened with disbelief as I

My fist pounded against Ace's door as I stood outside furious."Ace, open the fucking door!" I yelled, Dante still sitting in the car from shock.I saw a silhouette of a figure approaching the door and unlocking it. I swung the door open and it revealed Ace."What the fuck were you thinking?" I shouted, waving my arms in the air with panic. "You could've gotten yourself killed"."That would've been so tragic" Ace smirked, as we made our way down his hallway towards his kitchen."I'm being fucking serious, you could've gotten yourself killed. Look at Dante, I had to drag him from the ball, he's so traumatised. I had to kill some innocent girl and you get to walk away?", my face becoming twisted with disgust. "How is that fair?"."None of it is fair Ice, you fucking idiot, I'm the mafia boss so I decided what I can or can't do. Keep yelling at me, it won't change the outcome!" He sneered back, his pride so unbelievably high."You ruined yourself, do you realise that?" I spat, "ruined".
