Love Me Harder c45
Ashton, Ace and Chase all came in, looking like they had just gotten out of the shower due to how much they had sweat.Ace flopped on the couch, seeming exhausted. "Ace you stink" I uttered, holding my nose. "Oh yeah?" He stood up, grabbing my wrist. "Ashton help" I shrieked as Ace pulled me into his arms. "Sorry Sofia but my wife's getting it too" Ashton lifted Ella into his arms. "Ashton Carter, put me down" Ella couldn't help but laugh while yelling at him. "Looks like you'll have to shower with me now" Ace whispered to me, sending shivers down my spine. He ran his fingers along the bottom of my stomach playfully. "Don't" I growled at him."Feisty" Ace responded with a chuckle before finally letting me go. "You're still showering with me though" He shouted as he ran up the stairs. "He literally doesn't care who hears him" I threw my arms up in the air frustratedly while blushing. Ashton and Ella laughed at my reaction.A few minutes had passed and Ace came back downstairs. "Come on

Ace's POV:Ella had fallen asleep in Ashton's arms not long after Sofia fell asleep against my shoulder.Me, Ashton, Grayson, and Chase were all talking about random shit.Then Sofia sat up frantically, gasping, and looked horrified. "Sofia!" I said loudly trying to make her realize she was awake. Ella had been woken up by Sofia's gaps and was about to come over before Ashton put his arm in front of her to stop her.She looked at me before searching the room frantically with her eyes. I gently grabbed her face forcing her head towards me. "Look at me" I muttered but she couldn't hear me. "Look at me!" I demanded loudly. She had tears welling up in her eyes as she stared at me, shaking from fear. She shut her eyes as she tried desperately to catch her breath. "I've got you" I reassured her, stroking her cheek with my thumb. "B-but he had me" She uttered, still seeming paranoid.I hated this. I hated this so fucking much. I can't help her when she's asleep and that's why I hate it. I'd

I didn't stop hitting the tree.The bat was still making whipping noises from swinging through the air so fast. I grunted frustratedly as I bashed the wooden bat against the tree repeatedly with no sign of stopping.My cigarette stayed in my mouth while swung the bat as hard as I could, taking out my anger on the tree; My hands tightened around the bat."Ace" I heard a soft mumble only to see Sofia standing behind me, shivering from the cold with a confused look on her face. I stared at her as I caught my breath. "What are you doing?" Her soft, sleepy voice questioned me. "I'm just releasing some anger" I muttered to her quietly as I took the cigarette out of my mouth. She blinked slowly, showing me that she was tired. I watched her while she hugged her own arms, trying to shelter herself from the cold, wearing only a shirt and jeans. "Oh" she responded quietly with a hint of confusion after a moment of silence. I could tell she wanted to ask something but was too shy."What's wrong b

Sofia's POV :I opened my eyes hesitantly due to the light that was peeking in through the curtains. I glanced around the room confused. I sat up, noticing that my body was still really sore from the other night.I got out of bed and wandered downstairs; I was still sleepy. I noticed that Grayson standing at the bottom of the stairs. "Ace has gone to work, he told me to tell you" Grayson announced. I huffed sadly before going back up to Ace's room and grabbing one of his few hoodies.They were too big and they smelled like him so they were perfect. I then ended up in the kitchen with Ella making me breakfast."Hey Sofia" She smiled warmly, flipping a pancake. "Hey" I voiced groggily. "Are you okay?" Ella asked with a worried tone before slipping the pancake off of the pan and onto a plate. "I'm fine, my body hurts a bit from the other night" I admitted, finding it hard to breathe before resting my head on the table."I'll call Ace" Ella picked up the phone suddenly. "No it's fine, don

Ace's POV:I was writing in my journal after killing the woman to get some things off my mind.7/15/30Today I killed a woman. She wasn't like every other ordinary woman but she was a woman nonetheless. She even tried to plot with her husband to kill me, probably for money so that they could attempt to get out of their drug debt more than likely.But a lot of people don't know that once you're in the Mafia, there's no way out. And the only way out is to be hunted forever. I was born into this lifestyle so I had no choice. I had to grow and adapt to live in this environment and just to survive. I thrive because I feel nothing. Well ..... felt. Past tense .I was hesitant to kill the woman today. Very hesitant . I didn't show it though , I'm not really good at showing emotion anyways. I think I was hesitant because I keep thinking 'what if it was Sofia' . What if Sofia is in that exact same position. What if she gets kidnapped by a person like me or Haze . We would kill her with no seco

Sofia's POV :I sat at home on the couch, eating pizza. Ice had ordered me the pizza before he left to go help Ace. Ashton and Ella were upstairs taking a nap and Chase and Grayson were in the guest room playing video games.Ashton strutted downstairs and came inside . He snatched a slice of my pizza so I threw him a glare. "Did you hear?" Ashton mumbled with his mouth full of pizza . "Hear what" I blinked at him curiously. "Ace's mom's funeral is tomorrow" he shook his head as he spoke with a sad tone . When he said that I immediately worried about Ace .I stood up and peaked out the window to see if his limousine had pulled up yet. I let out a sigh of disappointment when it wasn't. "Is he okay?" I tried to ask Ashton causally . "No he's sobbing in his office" Ashton said with a straight face . My jaw dropped and I was ready to run out the door when Ashton burst into laughter. "That's not funny" I scowled at him. It's very funny" he chuckled , calming down ."He's fine" Ashton brushe

"You can't kill him" I muttered quietly, playing with my hands . "And why's that?" He challenged me . "Because I said so" I wanted to tease him a little , he could kill him and I wouldn't mind . "I can do what I want" he growled playfully, pushing his forehead against mine . I pushed back ."I'm the alpha" I tried to growl but it didn't work . I seen a smile appear on Ace's lips . I giggled while rolling my eyes . "You can't even growl" he shoved me , making me lie on the couch . I went to sit back up but he pushed me down again , this time pinning my arms above my head . I giggled at him making him smile.He opened my legs and lay on top of me . "You're heavy" I struggled to breathe . "Are you calling me fat!" He gasped staring at me with his eyes widened . "Yes" I grinned giddily waiting for his response . "See these , they're pure muscle" he informed me while running his hands along his abs . "Fat" I muttered jokingly, earning a scowl .His scowl then turned into a pout . "No I was

It was the next morning and Ace was getting ready to go train the newbies while I sat on his bed in a towel and my hair also wrapped up in a towel , scribbling in his journal . I ask to draw in it don't worry , but I did get a very serious response ; 'don't read any of the pages because it's an invasion of privacy' with a very stern tone which I found incredibly sexy .He tried to do his tie , but as always , he messed it up . "Come here" I waved my hand and pointed to the edge of the bed where I was sitting comfortably. He wandered over , still trying to tie it on the way but failing again ."This is so fucking stupid" he snapped getting frustrated. I stood up infront of him and did his tie wit bc ease . "See you need me" I winked teasingly at him. "Stupid fucking tie , I wear one every day of my god damn life and I still can't tie it" he slammed his dresser shut , making me jump . He looked over at me .I know he's a bit angry , and he has a right to be . "I'm sorry" he ran his hand

Love Me Harder c138
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".
