Ace drove us to my old home.His right hand gripped the steering wheel while his left rested on my thigh . "Are you sure you're okay to see them?" Ace questioned with a worrisome tone . "Yeah of course , I'm fine" I nodded . He let out a sigh of frustration. "Promise me you won't be rude" I took his hand and placed it in mine ; they fitted together like two pieces of a puzzle . "I can't promise anything" he grumbled at the thought of my brothers . I pouted , trying to give my best puppy eyes . His scowl became weak , but he was still angry ."I hate what they didn't do" he huffed . "But , I won't kill them , if that's what you're worried about" he rolled his eyes . It meant a lot to me that he would even come considering he hates them all . I haven't told him why they want us to come and I'm very nervous to see how he reacts when he finds out .Things are better between me and Ace now , but if there was a possibility I could go home , I would definitely explore it . I want to see what

"So princess , how have you been?" My mom asked , cutting into her steak ."Good , Ace has taken great care of me" I sat awkwardly , speaking with a quiet tone . It's something about this house that always makes me tense and sacred . Probably the years of constant , continuous abuse , I felt like my heart was going to break open my chest due to how hard it was ponding .Ace glanced in my direction before his eyes drifted back to his plate . "Thank you Ace for taking care of daughter , it meant a lot" my mother smiled after wiping her mouth with a napkin . I saw a confused expression appear on Ace's face , he was wondering why they were speaking in past tense. Raul was sitting in my fathers seat , I never realised how much he looked like him . He had all his facial features, just different colour hair ."No problem" Ace responded after a minute of silence . He was only being nice for me and I know that which makes him currently 10x more attractive. There was silence at the table except

His breathing was unsteady and he was beyond exhausted but he still had the energy to be angry at me ."You were going to go home" he took his arm off of my shoulder , refusing my help . We stood in front of the car outside . "I don't know what I was going to do" I answered honestly , I didn't want to lie to him . "We came here so you could leave me after you told me you loved me" Ace sounded hurt.......very hurt . "After I told you I loved you". There was a strain in his voice . "You can't blame me for wanting to see if my family had changed" I shook my head ."But they haven't , you're brothers were raised by your father , to act and think just like him , just like me and my father". I just stared at the ground , I didn't know what to say . "Your brother is just like him , and for me to think you wanted to go home and not be with me anymore...... I've never expressed my feelings Sofia but I'll tell you , you hurt me , this hurt me" he shook his head ."You can stay here and be with

I sat on the edge of my bed , holding my phone in my hand , contemplating calling him first . I never wanted to leave him , not like this anyways , I just wanted to see what my life would be like if my father wasn't in it . What it felt like to not fear every minute of being in that house. But it gave me some clarity , I guess .That my brothers were raised to be exactly like my father , but they are all different versions . Stefano is the strength , Raul is the cruelty , Diego is the naive , Javi is the quiet and Marco is the paranoid. They all have traits that they took from my father , whether they know it or not .I shouldn't have to apologise for wanting to go home but I will if it stops our fights and arguments, I'll apologise every time if I have to because I love him , and he loves me . He's hurt and thinks that I was going to leave him . But that's not what happened at all . I was going to reject my brothers offer face to face so that it wasn't done over a stupid phone call ,

I woke up to the sound of footsteps but then I realised that Ace was still in my arms . Suddenly my heart started to pound in my chest . I reached over to the side of the bed and pulled out my biggest throwing knife that I had previously wedged in between the bed and the frame a few nights ago . I had one less knife when it came to throwing but it gave me peace of mind when I slept . I was in Ace's shirt and a pair of his shorts.I could hear the light footsteps approaching the bedroom door from the corridor. How did I even wake up from them , they're so light that I could barely hear them . Then I realised that I had just woken from a nightmare, the footsteps were just a coincidence. There was only one person by sound of the footsteps .I glanced at Ace who was soundly asleep . I shouldn't wake him , he needs his rest but who is walking around ? . I glanced at the time , 5 am . No one is allowed in Ace's house after 12 , except for Ice or Dante and I know this because I live here. Fu

"Just kiss me"He pressed his lips against mine , slowly and gently . He knew I liked the slow kisses . Our kiss eventually turned into a make out . Ace's tongue brushed against mine as we moved in sync with each other. We knew all of each other and I think that when we fight , we forget no one will ever love each other as much as we do .He broke the kiss , wiping away my tears that were still falling . "Do you want to watch a movie" Ace spoke after clearing his throat . I nodded slightly while staring blankly at the blood on the floor . My brothers blood . I had forgotten that his blood was still on my hands .Ace's touch couldn't heal the pain in my heart this time , because he didn't cause it. "Maybe we should do this in your room" he whispered in my ear , pressing his forehead against the side of my head , I loved when he did that . I nodded gently in response , not wanting to speak . Without hesitation , he lifted me into his arms . "I can walk" I croaked quietly. "I know" he sh

2 weeks had passed and I was finally feeling better about the whole situation. Of course it took a lot of reassurance from Ace to realise that I wasn't a monster or that I wasn't like my father , not to mention the sleepless nights and the nights he had to stay up , cradling me in his arms because I couldn't stop crying . I can't believe he wasn't tired of me yet , if anything, he's been quite clingy which I find adorable.I reached over to the side of our bed and grabbed my phone after glancing at the pile of plates , stacked on my bedside table . Ace had been cooking food and bringing it up to me in hopes that I would eat it , but he knows I don't eat breakfast and since I was sad , I wasn't really in the mood to eat , so a lot of the time he would end up eating it instead of me .Ace had left his journal on his locker , he never leaves that thing out . He probably wants me to read it but I'm not going to , I won't ever touch his journal, it would be too invasive and rude of me to d

I wiped the sweat off of my forehead with the towel that was in my hand . I dabbed my neck and collar bones before dropping the towel off to the side of the room . Ace's gym was fun to use except I couldn't use the weights since Ace's lightest ones were too heavy for me to use which is kind of embarrassing.I continued doing squats and listening to music until I felt two hands on my waist as I stood up from my squat . I screamed and jumped back , quickly realising that it was just Ace . I pulled out my ear phones and stopped my music . "You scared the shit out of me" . I was out of breath from being scared so bad. Ace couldn't contain his laughter . "I'm sorry" he chuckled , calming himself down .His attention turned to his weights . "You use these ?" He asked curiously. No they're too heavy" I muttered angrily while I stared at myself in the big mirrors on the wall . I watched Ace come up behind from in the mirror . He placed his hand on my stomach from behind me , placing his head

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".
