Terry dropped me back to Ace's house.I locked my door and sat in my room watching movies for the rest of the day. It had turned 12 am and Ace still wasn't home; He was probably still mad. I'm not angry at him, I don't think I ever was. I think I was shocked and afraid of him for a moment.My eyes were struggling to stay open as I watched the movie. I was woken up by a knock on my door before I paused the film and sat in my bed."Sofia" Ace muttered sounding like he was almost scared to say my name. I didn't reply. "Can you open the door?" He asked, his tone was softer than usual. I slowly wandered over to the door. I assume he was able to tell I had come over due to my light footsteps approaching the door. "Are you still angry?" I questioned him, probably sounding tired. "No" he mumbled quietly.I knew that his explosive anger was due to his grief and adrenaline but it wasn't acceptable. I unlocked the door before quickly walking back over to my bed.Ace entered the room and all you

ACE'S POV:She had fallen asleep quite quickly after our conversation, I don't blame her. She was only waiting to sleep until I walked in.She snored slightly causing me laugh quietly. It's the little things about her that I like, the simple things; the colour of her hair or the way her eyes glow when she happy. She's beautiful to watch and I could do it all day if I had the option without seeming creepy.She began to stir, obviously having a nightmare. "Sofia" I whispered, trying to wake her. "Stop it" she hushed me before grabbing my arm and forcing it around her. I snickered as I tried to stay quiet; she was strong when she wanted something.Part of me thought I'd never find myself in girls bed being so happy just holding her. I knew she was slowly creeping her way into my heart but I couldn't stop it. I just hope I don't ruin her like the way I ruin everything else."I may be the person you like the most but you're the only person I like" I muttered softly into her ear, planting a

Sofia's POV:Ace had to go to work, leaving me horny and alone.It was so boring since Ace took my phone when I was first living there and still hasn't given it back. I went through most of day walking around and talking to a few of Ace's bodyguards. Especially Terry, I liked Terry, he was cool.Suddenly there was a knock on the door. I peeked my head around the corner, no one usually knocks, they all just stroll in as if they own the place. I peeked my head out of the window to see Cara, Scarlett and Riley standing at the door.I don't like these girls but I can't just speak to Ace all the time; I'd go crazy.I opened it; Hopefully Ace won't be angry. "Come on girl, we're going clubbing" Scarlett cheered while dancing, making me laugh. "Tonight?" I questioned. "Yeah" Cara nodded persistently. "I don't knowww" I sighed, knowing Ace wouldn't let me go."Call Ace, tell him you're going and that you'll be back by 12 am, no big deal" Riley shrugged like it was no big deal. "He's um- he's

Sofia's POV:Cara, Scarlett and Riley had dragged me to some nightclub. I didn't want to go, I just wanted to wait for Ace to get home and then go to sleep but no. Instead I had to drink, dance and probably end up looking stupid.We showed our fake ID's and got in. "Guys I think this dress is a little too short, Ace is going to kill me" I muttered worriedly to them. "Don't let Ace control what you wear Sofia! You have an amazing body, show it off" Cara hyped me up."Oh my god, look at him" Riley shrieked at the girls. Their heads turned towards a table that had 4 guys sitting around, smoking cigarettes. There's a no smoking sign in front of them on the wall?; Ignorant assholes."Let's get their attention!" Scarlett giggled mischievously, pulling us onto the dance floor. "No guys, I'm engaged to be married, I don't want any other man's attention" I reminded them. "Then just dance for yourself, have funnn" Cara giggled, grabbing shots of vodka off of the waitress walking by us. This was

Cara approached us, joining the conversation."She hates attention" Cara murmured while downing shots of vodka, pointing over at me. "Cara relax on the drinks" Riley scolded as she snatched it away from her. "Get them away" Santi snapped his fingers, signaling his goons to take my friends to one of the other tables. "Sofia, Ace is going to be madddddd" Riley yelled crazily at me. I instantly felt my heart stop at the mention of Ace's name; The most notorious man in the Mafia."Who's Ace and you told me your name was Lexi?" Santiago's face became angry, his eyebrows frowning and his jaw clenched. "Oh Ace is my brother and as for my name, I use my middle one when I'm partying" I said the first lie that came to my head."Ace......" he waited for a response. "Hernandez" Scarlett shouted as she winked at me, thinking she was doing me a favour. How did she even know his second name?. I must've told her at the sleepover and forgot. Well, there goes my life; not like it was a good one anyway.

"Aceeeee," I asked in a high-pitched tone, signaling to him that I wanted something."What?" he hissed at me from behind his office door. He's been so angry lately. "Fine then" I muttered walking away; I'll just do it since he doesn't seem to care anymore.I know he's a mafia boss but can he try and be nice for once, would it kill him?.I took out my laptop that Ace had gotten me when I first moved in, well forced me to move in. I signed up for a private school and I may have used Ace's bank card but it's ok. He'll find out eventually. I chose a school that specifically had ties to a medical school or collage.I can only hope it'll be a drama-free year.I sat on my phone waiting patiently for an email back.I finally heard the ding after an hour. I almost had a heart attack, not gonna lie. I threw myself out of the bed and opened the email.I was accepted, how the fuck was I accepted? I've missed like a million days but I guess my grades made up for it. It did say in the email that I

I lifted my head off of the cold concrete ground, at least today I get to go to school.Raul opened the basement door for me. "He shouldn't be punishing her as that" Stefano snapped at Raul. "I can't do anything about it" Raul responded challenging him. "How about you just leave the door unlocked so that she can go up to her room and sneak back down in the morning, you dumb piece of shit" Stefano shoved Raul, trying to force him to move out of his way."I can't!" Raul growled. "It's ok Stefano" I rubbed my eyes, slowly rising from the floor. "You're not allowed food, father's warning" Raul informed me with an uncomfortable expression on his face. "This is fucking bullshit" Stefano snarled at his brother. "She's our sister!". Raul rolled his eyes, not wanting to listen to Stefano's rant anymore."Here" Stefano handed me a sandwich. "If father asks, blame it on me" Stefano assured me. "Thanks, Stefano" I kissed his cheek before leaving for school.It was a long walk, grueling walk, espe

Ace's POV:I majorly regretted what I had done.Fuck. I sat at my desk, combing my hands through my hair. She just left, I let her leave!. Fuck; I fucked up big time.It's dangerous when I start catching feelings. Truth be told that I've never felt anything for anyone except her; That's probably why everyone was so worried. We didn't even kiss and this girl had me wrapped around her finger. I would've done anything for her yet I ended up pushing her away like everyone else.Maybe this was for the best, I made her act on impulse and acting on impulse is never good but she made me happiest I've been in awhile. I was so torn, I didn't know what to do.I needed to stop thinking about her, about what I could've done to make her stay; I could've just told the truth."What was that?" Dante asked, storming into my office. "You said it yourself, you don't like her, she's too good for me". "I don't like her, I'm in love with her okay? I didn't really love Kylie and I didn't know that until I me

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".
