My Devil’s Side: Book 1 & 2 Reversed Roles
Alley POVI stayed all week with Ethan in the hospital and still had no word from Derek. Prom night Layla showed up in her dress and brought one for me and a suit jacket for Ethan. We texted Katie to join us but she never even answered Layla back. The three of us had our own little Prom in his hospital bed. As always, like a true pimp, Ethan kept both his dates entertained. They both knew I was in so much pain from both Christian and Derek but they made sure we had a goodnight together and I was thankful for them.I know Layla was worried about Derek too and I'm not sure she even believed what we told her about what Ace did at the club. She knew what vile things happened with Angelo but she couldn't believe Christian could be like him too. She never really like Christian that much but she didn't hate him, not until now. I went to school a few days during the week but I could barely breathe and left early. I didn't know who I was anymore. Everything I felt before was gone. I didn't c

Ace POV"Any word about the girl?" I asked Daniel the second he came into my office. Some kid overdosed on Dante's shit drug the other night and we still had no ID. "Just got off the phone with the ME. It was a girl from your school. Her name was Katelyn McArthur. Did you know her?"Fuck tears were going to spill. Not for me and not for the girl but for Alley. How did this happen?"Is the warehouse cleared?" I asked"Yeah, and Alvarez has a bullet in his other leg now too. That old man will have more bullets than organs in his body pretty soon." Daniel chuckled."He should be dead. I told him to stop selling that shit after the raid went down." I slammed my fist to the table."He claims he did but who gives a shit if he was telling the truth. I rather enjoy torturing that man.""Me too. When are the arrangements?""Arrangements?""Funeral. When is Katie's funeral?" Once I said her name it finally clicked. "Fuck! The loud mouth red head Katie? Alley is going to be destroyed over thi

Alley POVI have serious issues. I threw my shirt on running back out to the kitchen and grabbed my tables food. "Hey you're out of here!" My manager Dave was approaching me like I just stole something. Right before he could grab my arm, we heard a loud crashing of furniture and dishes breaking. Shit, I think Ace is pissed. Oh well I guess he should learn some control. I probably should too."Ace cleared me to work. Want to go ask him yourself?" I smirked at Dave knowing there was no way he was stepping foot back there.I dropped my food to my table apologizing for the construction going on in the back. Nikki hung around the rest of night and I know she was itching to find out what happened, but I wish she would just disappear. I noticed Angelo spoke with her for a bit which made me suspicious. Since when did those two talk to each other and more importantly what did he want from her?"Turn the news up! They ID the girl." People were shouting from the bar area. I don't know why but

Ace POVI shouldn't of went to the funeral but there was this nagging feeling inside me forcing me to go. I didn't really know Katie and I would have never spoken to her if it wasn't for Alley, but she was a friend. She never seemed to fear me and loved giving us a hard time. She was even at my little party Alley gave me when I turned 18. Fuck! How different my world was back then. How quickly life changed in a few short months.Throughout the entire funeral my eyes kept drifting back to her, needing to watch if she was about to break down because I knew it was coming. Asshole and her little friend kept her close by and a part of me was thankful she had them. They would watch over her, help her in this life. I didn't want her anymore but I didn't want her to have nothing either. I just needed her to leave so I wasn't constantly reminded how I loved a girl that didn't love me back. I needed to have her out of sight so maybe one day she could be out of mind. Then it finally happened.

Alley POV"Where is your mother?" Daniel asked looking around our dingy little playground. Layla and Ethan were standing at the edge of the sand pit and I swung lightly back and forth on my favorite swing. I didn't hide from the memories anymore. Every single moment from my childhood flooded my brain the second we stepped foot in this park. All I could do was dissect each one wondering if we made different choices if we would still end up in this moment."She is fucking stubborn and refuses to leave without Derek. I don't give a shit though. He wanted to help her and that's the only reason I tried.""Wow! You are about to explode.""Yes, but trust me I'll wait until we are clear of this town first. You got the tickets and phones.""Of course. Why aren't you leaving with them Alley?""Good question." Ethan added"I need to be there to get Derek. Ace won't hurt me or him if I'm there.""Ace won't be there. His father is throwing a party at his house that night.""It doesn't matter they

Ace POVI held my little vixen in my arms kissing her, trying to make it last forever. Her soft lips belonged on mine. My tongue needed to caress hers every day, but we weren't getting our forever.She pulled away and every part of me tried to hold on to her. I watched our fingers slowly slide out of each other's and I took a hard breath as she walked away one last time. This wasn't the way we were supposed to be."I know you love her, but you have to let her go. You could have just as easily turned that bust on your father, dissolved everything he built, and been left with nothing but that girl. You chose to stay, and I pray it was to keep fighting and not for the money and power." Ethan's hand clapped my shoulder. "My father told me you didn't just get her eyes but you also got her soul and that's why you were worth saving. Be safe bro.""You're still an asshole. Keep her safe." He smiled at me then wobbled away. That was really it, the end of Christian and Alley and our forever. E

Alley POVI left that house that once felt like home in tears. I would never be his again, never feel him again or know his life. As much as it tore my insides apart, his life wasn't one I wanted to be a part of. Once I hit the street I crumbled to the ground and cried out. There was so much pain rushing through my body and all I wanted to do was make it stop. I felt Ethan's arms wrap around me and I sank into his chest. This man that never left my side, never lied to me sat on the ground with his leg in a cast holding me. "I can't, I can't." I kept repeating through sobs. I wasn't sure what I couldn't do but I had a feeling it had something to do with this hole in my heart."Shh it's ok Alley. I know it hurts but it'll be ok." He caressed my hair and back soothing me out of my darkness. I let myself breakdown releasing all my pain into my tears."Did you hear from Derek?" His thumb wiped away my tears as I slowly pieced myself back together."Yeah, he said he got away and would mee

Ace POV"We need to go!" Daniel was at my doorway and had a look like he was not in the mood for anyone's shit. I was still staring at the broken bracelet. "Fuck off!" I didn't take orders from him or care."Derek is dead!" I didn't process that information correctly. What the hell did he say? Derek is gone? Yes, that is what he said."Did hear me Ace? Derek is dead. He was found this morning at the lake. ME said overdose which probably means Alvarez."I sat up from my bed, throwing my legs off the side and placed my head in my hands. I was feeling better from whatever drug my father gave me but I was still a bit hung over. Maybe I was hallucinating, dreaming."Get the fuck up!" Daniel yelled and it jolted me to my feet. Only one man ever yelled at me and I fucking hated him."Watch your mouth. What the fuck are you talking about? Where is Derek?""He is dead. We need to go.""Where?" I heard it again. He said dead. That's not possible."Alvarez and if she isn't there then we kill h

My Devil’s Side: Book 1 & 2 Epilogue 2 - Life Was Never Kind Until It Was
Nanny Fuck Face POVI looked down from my balcony from my bedroom window leaning on my cane as all my great grandchildren played in the pool outside. Today was the twin's sixteen birthday and the house was full of friends and family. For six months I stayed with Ace in hiding, waiting patiently to be able to live this life I desired for so long. After my daughter died I gave up thinking life would ever be kind to me. I felt hopeless and weak until that day I stood at Ace's graduation party and saw his undying love for Alley. They were saying goodbye but I knew she was his salvation. The light he needed to keep his soul alive and good. Then I saw my other grandson, a boy I thought that was lost to this family and was thankful for it.

My Devil’s Side: Book 1 & 2 Epilogue 1 - Simple Life
Alley POV"Are you saying my son is a problem. I can assure you he is the least of your worries." Christian's tall muscular frame was backing up a perky little woman against a wall. I rolled my eyes with a sigh. Such a brute, especially when it came to his kids."Calm down there, Varsity dip shit." I pulled his shoulder away from the scared woman. Christian's eyes turned dark on me and I just raised my eyebrows at him. My fingers touched my necklace, one he had made for me on my sixteenth birthday but gave to me years later. He was my forever, our love and bond infinite, and he will be a good boy that listened."This woman said Darien seems distracted. She thinks he's been the one pranking the principal. I want to speak to this so called principal!" His voice softened as he spoke to me, but it still held a demand in his tone. "This woman is his teacher and is harmless. We know our son and I'm sure he has been causing some havoc. Sit and calm yourself." I pushed him down in a small cl
My Devil’s Side: Book 1 & 2 Where To Go From Here
Alley POVMaybe it was the pregnancy hormones or maybe I was really hating Ace right now. So much rage was coursing through my body and I was doing everything in my power not to grab the cake next to me and smash it in that motherfucker's face."What just happened?" Greg asked. He was still playing catch up."Ace faked his death. I'm going to kill him." All the pain I felt the last six months and he was alive? He was just hiding out, lying to all of us to keep us safe. That was bullshit, he was a motherfucker."Whoa! Alley's about to go lethal." Ethan and Daniel were next to me now as I watched Ace kneeling down speaking to Darien and Derek. He did look really hot and how he played with the boys was making my body call to him. No! He pays first."He lied to us." My head shot to Daniel. He knew too."Calm down. Remember you are with child Alley." Daniel had his hands up in the air in surrender."What's happening? I love when Alley goes psycho!" Elise said way too happy at my anger. Lyd
My Devil’s Side: Book 1 & 2 Finding Happiness
Alley POVSix months later:It has been a hard few months, but Greg was right, I did find happiness again. Losing Ace was just as hard, if not harder, than losing my brother and I would never get over losing either one of them.Daniel and his partner Rowan survived the explosion, but had some scars on their face and arms. I was beyond thankful they made it out alive and thought they just looked more bad ass now. Today Greg, Lydia, Darien, Derek, and myself were driving up to Daniel's summer home in Rhode Island to celebrate his engagement to Elise and his official promotion. Ethan and Layla had the baby girls in tow behind us and I looked back to them in my rear view mirror with a smile. For some reason, I was really, really excited about this weekend trip. We hadn't all spent time together in months and I wanted to be surround by my family for the whole weekend. Daniel already promised a big fire pit out back just for me, it was of course for everyone, but he knew how much I like s
My Devil’s Side: Book 1 & 2 Waiting
Alley POVIt took Ethan a long time to calm me down and get me on a plane back home. I didn't want to leave without Christian, but Darien was waiting for me at home. I wish I could say it was easier to walk away for my son. I would always choose Darien above Christian, but it didn't mean it made my decision to leave any less harder.I cried in Ethan's chest the whole plane ride home, swearing I would never step foot on one of these again. The second I did get home Darien and Derek were there welcoming me with tears. That did make my sadness a little more bearable. I loved this family so much and I just didn't understand why I couldn't have Christian too. That night Greg stayed with me and we watched movies well past the moon rising. He knew I wasn't sleeping anytime soon and Ethan needed to be with his wife. Layla was doing much better, but she still had her own stuff going on.We didn't speak much and I appreciated how Greg was relentless with the way he cared for me. It reminded m
My Devil’s Side: Book 1 & 2 Then It All Went Wrong
Daniel POVI paced the hallway outside Ace's hospital bed losing my mind. The switch was supposed to take place already and now I was losing my window. On top of that, once they arrested my boss IA moved in our department. Within a few hours I was assigned as the temporary head of the criminal organization task force and had one sorry ass fucker with a stick up his ass questioning my every move."So, you've worked undercover for seven years with this," a studious prick with four inch thick glasses looked over his paperwork, "ah, Christian Ace Blackwood?""Yes! We discussed this two hours ago. It's not that hard of name to remember either.""I see, yes. I'm just curious if maybe you've been too deep undercover. Seven years is a long time and you seem to have an unhealthy relationship with this murder." The IA agent looked in Ace's room with disgust. He was a murder, but they didn't know his story. He didn't kill randomly and never hurt someone innocent. I can't explain that in any ra
My Devil’s Side: Book 1 & 2 Last Chance for Redemption
Daniel POV"It's time." I called into Rowan to move in on the people at Déjà vu. "You got everything on our boss we needed." I could hear his amusement over the call. We've been working to take our boss down for over seven years and this was our moment."Every last fucking word." I smiled and hung up.Once I heard about Angelo taking Alley, again, and how Ace was calling a meeting, which included Dmitri I knew how to get my boss. His filth went as deep as you would line his pockets.

My Devil’s Side: Book 1 & 2 What Matters
Ace POVI stood in front of my wall length mirror adjusting my tie. I haven't looked myself in the eye in a week and I wasn't sure if I liked the man staring back at me. I had my black suit on, black tie, and white shirt. Tonight was about ending as much of the bullshit as possible so I kept it simple. My jet black hair was still a little wet and slicked off to the side. The best feature of my whole body were these eyes and that was because they didn't belong to him. Well one other part of my body but he wasn't getting any attention tonight. I used to see my father in the mirror and fucking hated it more than anything. Despite knowing I was a good looking man I would give anything to change my appearance. To look less like that monster that raised me. Now I say that little boy. A smile tugged at my lips seeing his little face with so much power in it. He was a confident little shit and would grow up to be a man that did what he wanted. No one would keep him back, build him up just
