Ace POV.Waking up has never been tiring as it is today. Maybe the fact that I have to wake up so early and I sleep late has something to do with it. I dragged myself out of bed and went to the bathroom. I stood in front of the mirror and looked at the bags below my eyes. I will surely get questions because of them. I took the toothbrush and started brushing my teeth. Afterwards I walked to the shower to take a bath. It took me just a few minutes to finish. I wore a black jeans and a white tee-shirt. Even though I am a businessman, I am really not used to wearing suits all the time. I wear them when I have a meeting or there is a party.I sprayed my outfit then walked out of the room with my phone in my hand. I walked downstairs and heard noises coming from the dining room."Where is uncle?" I heard Ivan's voice.That is my nephew. I did not know that they were coming."I don't know. Maybe he is still sleeping," Bob said."What! Ace sleeping at this time?" My brother, Mark asked."W
Adrianna POV.It was an hour drive. Throughout the drive, Ivy listened to her favourite songs. I didn't get a chance to even change considering that this is my car but I am already used to her behaviours. We got out of the car and gave the guard the keys so that he could park the car. We walked in the building. It looked like a company's building considering that it consists of a penthouse, gyms and offices. We have our own penthouse in the building. It is just that we don't like living here. It is too dangerous since most of our enemies know that this is the headquarters."Morning little bosses," the guards greeted us."Morning," we both said with a cold voice.We went directly to Victor's office."Daddy," Ivy said as she rushed to him to give him a hug."Hae there kiddo," he greeted her as he hugged her. I walked to the couch and sat there."Adrianna?" He asked instead of a sentence. I know he wanted me to be like Ivy but I couldn't."Hae there papa," I said and he let out a sigh bu
Adrianna POV.Tomorrow is the day which the charity ball is held. Ivy has been climbing nonstop and I regret agreeing with Victor what he did. I just want my innocent little sister with me. Victor on the other hand, has been trying to contact me but I have been avoiding him. I can't let whatever happened on that day repeat itself. It makes me feel like the worst daughter even though I am not. There are fifty percent chances that Vincenzo will be there and I am also very aware that they are still looking for me. It was fun messing with them but the fact still remains that one can never mess with a mafia leader and continues to leave. I am actually lucky that I am. Today, I really have a busy day ahead of me therefore I better get out of bed before it is too late.I dragged myself from the bed towards my washroom. After taking a bath and brushing my teeth, I walked to my closet to choose today's outfit. Before I got a chance to walk in, my bedroom door was opened and I looked in the d
Adrianna POV.The ball will be starting at 8 in the evening. This does not give us any reasons to justify our laziness but we have to use it. Both Ivy and I have not left the bed. I called our housekeeper early today so that she can come and make food for us as she cleans the house. I don't know what Ivy is doing in her room since I haven't left mine but hope is something productive. She is never into either movies or novels. I have been staring at the tv for three hours now. I feel like I'm just a lazy being. After two hours, my stomach groaned and I knew that I needed to get up and get food. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday at the restaurant. The reason why I didn't eat? I was not hungry! Yeah, that's the best answer I can come up with right now.I pulled my shit together and managed to get from the bed. I first walked to the washroom and I looked at myself in the mirror. I was just a mess, the hair was everywhere on my face and my eyes made me look like a zombie. I decided
Adrianna POV.I had not moved any inch from where I was sitting. I looked and saw that it was Ivy."Why were you running? Do you know I thought that we were under attack," I told her and she chuckled."I am sorry if you were in an action mood," she said and I glared at her."We need to start ready right now," she said and I raised my eyebrows at her."We still have time," I complained."Time? We still have time, you say?" She asked angrily and I did not see what was making her angry. I know that she is eager to go to the party but not at the point to get angry about it. Therefore, I nodded my head since I did not know what to say."For goodness sake Adrianna be serious," she yelled and I glared at her. "Look what time it is."When she said that, I told her my phone since I had already removed my wristwatch. "What! How?" To say that I am shocked is really an understatement. It is 6:30 and we are supposed to be there by eight. And the drive is one hour. Therefore that means that we onl
Ace POV.My brother-in-law arrived some few days ago. He owns his company and different restaurants but not as many as I do. My parents came back from their trip yesterday since they were also supposed to go to the ball. Today is the ball's day.The charity foundation was founded by Mary Scott. She died when I was little but I knew her. She was one of the women in the mafia who cared deeply about family and the innocent but she loved children more. She sent a children's home and every year, there was a ball to donate for it. She claimed that since we are monsters, we can also be at least kind and one of the ways is to show love and care to the little kids with no family. I am aware that most of the mafia leaders will be present and some will also try talking to me. As much as I would love to decline the talks, some of the leaders always have great ideas. I am actually looking forward to hearing some and making new allies.The time has already flown and I need to start getting ready be
Adrianna POV.I walked towards the bartender. "What can I offer you?" He asked with a smile and I gladly reciprocated. "The strongest wine please," I said and he nodded his head before disappearing.After a few, he came back and placed it in front of me. I looked at a chair which was there and I started drinking."What is a beautiful lady like you doing here alone?" Someone asked and I glanced at him. He is old and he thinks that he can flirt with me?"What you can see her doing," I answered rudely and he seemed shocked by my answer. His expression immediately changed and smiled. "Well then, let me join you," he said as he pulled the chair next to mine closer. "Hello beautiful," I heard and I immediately recognized that voice. I turned and smiled at him innocently."Hello there. It seems that you dressed well tonight," I said with a grin."This is what happens when mom is around," he said with a smile."So does that make you a mommy's boy?" I asked teasingly and he chuckled."Yes,
Ace POV.Taking her hand, I led her to the dancing floor. From how she was behaving, I am sure she hates when people stare at her. She is so feisty but at the same time shy. When I suggested that we should give them a show so that they can watch us more. I didn't have any idea on what to do. I am just attracted to this lady. I want to fuck her so hard so that I can get her out of my system. I saw that her eyes were looking around and I wondered what's wrong."Why are you scanning the room?" I asked."I honestly don't know but I don't trust how the Scott's made sure everyone has their own escort," she said.Fantastic. At least I'm not the only one with that feeling."I know. I actually came with my car. My family are the ones who came with the escort," I said and she chuckled. "What?""Obviously there was no way I was going to do as I was told and what they were expecting," she said but I did not understand her. I know that she is stubborn and hates to be told what to do, but what does
Adrianna POV."Gosh, I am so sleepy," Ivy exclaimed while we were watching a movie to kill time."Then why don't you just go to bed?" I asked out of sympathy as I looked at her."Have you forgotten that we are waiting for feedback?" she asked as I roll my eyes."Who said that I did? You can decide to go to bed and you would be woken up by the ringtone while he calls," I said.After some minutes I turned back at her and said, "or, since you are a computer expert, why don't you hack into the Russians mafia premises and find out for yourself?" "You are definitely a genius. Why didn't I think of such a thing earlier?I would have avoided staying here for more than five hours while waiting," she said."Okay, let us go and see," I said as I stood up since I also wanted to see what happened."It seems that you are just a hypocrite. You were pretending that you aren't sleepy yet you are," she said."I have a lot of work to do but I can't do it till I know what happened. Whether he succeeded
Adrianna POV."Did you have to choose that car?" Ivy asked angrily making me raise my eyebrow unto her."Why can't you understand it? We told the guy to call after thirty minutes or did you want us to keep loitering around the shop till the time passes and we won't be able to talk to him later on," I said trying my best to keep calm."Oh, sorry I forget," she said in a low tone as a way to show that she was in wrong and was embarrassed making me roll my eyes."Can you text him and tell him to call immediately," I said as I walked towards the grey three-sitter couch."Alright," she said as she took out her phone."I hope that he passed the interview and will be able to always get inside,"she sat on the couch across me."Let us hope for the best," I said as I looked down to see what Jasmine was doing cause she was really disturbing me."Ma..ma," she called out as soon as she realised that I was looking at her.Raising my eyebrows to her as a clue to indicate that she should tell me what
Adrianna POV."Finally, we are going to the streets of America," Ivy said as we got out of the house."Girl, we don't even own a car here and you are already happy about such a petty thing," I said with a chuckle."I know but that don't matter. After all, since we are going for shopping, we will get a car from a car dealer," she said."Then I just hope you have carried your fake id. We don't want to mess anything just because f a shopping which could be done online," I said seriously making her roll her eyes."Do you have to always to a joy killer? Anyways, as for your information, yes, I carried them together with the fake bank cards," she said as she waved her bag in front of me making Jassy grab it making me smile. "Dude, can you let go of your aunty's bag."Jassy looked at her innocently as she hugged it tightly and hidden it in my chest."Who the hell did this kid take after for real?" she asked as she shook her head."Come on, if both of you are going to start your little tantru
Third POV."Dad, why did you send someone to call me here?" a young man asked as he walked in."How is everything at the organisation?" the old man seated behind the desk asked."Everything is fine," he said after a few minutes of silence."Why were you silent? Don't tell me that you are thinking about going against me just the way your uncle did. You better do what I ask for you. We both know that you aren't my only child so I can decide anyone to take the position from me when I am ready to retire," he warned."But dad, haven't I always done what you ask of me? Now you are telling me that you are changing your decision about me been the leader?" The young man asked loudly. Anger evident in his tone."Don't you dare raise your voice at me, young man. You better remember who you are talking to! I am your father!" Elijah snapped."Don't give me that bullshit. You are just a greedy old man who only wants a big piece of a pie that he can get his hands own. May I should remind you that it
Adrianna Pov."There is no need for you to be confused. What we need to do is figure out what we have to do," I said. I looked up and saw that Jasmine was already fast asleep. She tends to sleep when she is bored or has no one to play and talk to."But do you think it is safe?" she asked and I gave a a question mark expression since I couldn't figure out such a silly question.""Don't give me that look. What I mean is that, do you think it is safe for us to deal with them alone? Maybe we could ask your baby daddy's help," she said and I glared at her."I don't need his help," I said firmly."I know that you don't want but look at the positive side girl. Ace has connection with the Spanish and Mexican mafia help it would at least safe since we are all alone since for now we can't trust the people from the organisation," she said making me shake my head in disagreement."Have you forgotten who we are and why each mafia is fighting to get in our good side and back back?" I asked."Its no
Adrianna POV."I think you were right," I told her before feeding Jasmine and taking a bite of my pancake."What do you mean I was right? Why can't you just go direct to the point instead of beating around the bush?" she asked angrily."My dear sister, why can you see a bush in our house?" I asked as I chuckled making her groan."Adrianna!" she yelled making me glare at her as I closed my child's ears cause who knows when she will be turned to a deaf cause of Ivy's daily shoutings."Can you stop shouting for goodness sake?" I asked as I took a breathe."Sorry. Can you know tell me what do you mean by your sentence?" she asked more softly this time as she looked at Jasmine to see whether she is been affected with how she is talking."On that day, Max was not at the organisation headquarters," I said as I looked at my food."What? Now how are we going to find out who the mole is?" she asked in a low tone as if she is in low spirits."Idiot. You know, sometimes I find you clever others s
Adrianna POV.I was waken up by the cries of the baby. Who told me to sleep with her in the first place? Immediately I looked at her, she kept quiet and smiled at me. That little cute smile was enough for me to forget that I was mad at her in the first place. I picked her up and looked whether she had peed on herself. After changing her up, I carried her to the bathroom so that I can clean her up first since it would be a waste of time if I showered then cleaned her. It would force me to back and have a bath."You woke up so early," I said after checking out what was the time. Maybe the fact that she had slept for some many hours made her wake up early. She giggled as she played with my hair."Don't splash water on mama again. If you do, I will end up beating you," I warned her and she sided her eyes. I smiled cause I knew she had understood my words. After making sure that the water temperature was good enough for her, I added her body wash before getting rid of the clothes she was
Adrianna POV.Ivy and I stepped out of the chopper,looking up at the grand mansion that was to be their new home. They had escaped the chaos and danger of their old life, and were now embarking on a new chapter while hoping they won't be discovered where they were hiding. The mansion was the perfect place to hide and start anew. It was isolated, with acres of land surrounding it, and had everything they would ever need. Nonetheless, they didn't know who the American's mafia leader was and their house was not even close to theirs. They knew that they were safe for a while and the place was good for them to bring up Jassy."Wow, it's beautiful," she said, as she looked up at the mansion in awe."It's better than I imagined," I replied, feeling a sense of excitement and relief at the same time.We had arranged the purchase of the mansion months before, and now we were finally here. It was a huge, four-story building with almost twenty bedrooms, five living rooms, an indoor pool, a gym, a
Ace POV.My phone started ringing and I picked it up."Hello, who am I talking to?" I asked "You don't have to know my name. I am just calling you to tell you about Adrianna's whereabouts," the other person said."Fine, tell me, where is she?" I asked " Wait, what do you want in return after telling me that?"He laughed but didn't answer my question. After getting the information about where they were, even if I didn't know whether it was the truth, I opted to go and try my luck. I called my best team and family so that I can inform them since I knew that they also wanted you to find her as soon as possible. Even for my men, most love her since she saved Ivan. They claim that if they got such a donna, they won't have to worry about their families. I really don't know the meaning of that but I am just happy and proud that she's loved by everyone and they are welcoming towards her."Ace, why did you call us all here?" Dad asked."Dad, I received a call from someone who claims to know a
