Ace…My men and I decided to go to the fight tonight. I think a little excitement will do my men good. I know it is an underground fighting club that is illegal. Only the mafia’s and small gangs know about this place.“Are you ready to kick some ass?” Daniel asked as I walked down the stairs. My men
Ace…My men and I were at the place Michael had given us. We were currently arguing with a man in his late sixties. He looked as if he was about to pass out in any second. His eyes showed that he hadn't slept in days and by the looks of his skinny face, I would say it had been days since he had a de
Michael…“Avenge her death? Oh, please, what is there to avenge? Let me tell you a little secret,” the woman I once loved said with a smirk on her face. “She isn't dead.”This revelation left me shocked. “What do you mean? I saw her fucking body along with Brendon’s body.”The bitch started laughing
Bella…We were underground, where they keep the girls. I knew there would be guards here since they keep a tight leash on the girls. When we stepped out of the elevator, only one guard was there. I quickly snapped his neck before he could even draw his gun, “move his body to that coner.” I instructe
Bella…I pulled my dress back on and made my way over to the rooms. We had to find the girls before more guards came in. “Is this what I think it is?” Ace asked as we walked in a room filled with chains and torturing devices on the wall and tables.I looked to where he pointed and nodded. “Yes, ther
Bella…“Did they, um, did they?” Daniel couldn't finish the sentence.I nodded and gave him a sad smile. “Yes, all of these girls.”Richard looked at Ace and me with a smirk. “Why are his lips red and your lipstick is off?” I snapped my head towards Ace. Oh, sh*t, he had lipstick on his lips. How di
Bella…I slipped into my favorite red porch as I looked at the sun setting. Valentina took a seat beside me and strapped herself in. I had some unfinished business to take care of before we leave for America tonight. I turned on the ignition and felt the purr of the engine. I pushed my foot down and
Ace…I was angry when my father arranged a marriage for me. I shouldn't have been surprised since my parent's marriage was also arranged. I never wanted to have a marriage like my parents. They didn't love each other. They always fought. I don't want an arranged marriage. I don't want a loveless mar
On our way home, we stopped at a shop brimming with vibrant candies, chocolate bars, and treats in various shapes and sizes. Chloe's eyes widened in delight; candy was undoubtedly her weakness. She peered through the glass, contemplating her choices. Bruce stood beside me, arms crossed, both of us o
Ace…My feet were resting on the desk shared by Bella and me, our office now organized and neat, though I knew it wouldn’t last long. I had spent the early hours sorting through paperwork and issuing directives. As I brought a cigarette to my lips, I inhaled the acrid smoke, watching it swirl and gr
I appreciated Chloe's charming nature; she had stunning dark brown hair and a mature demeanor, yet she could be quite mischievous. It became clear that she had inherited my personality traits. Whenever she threw a fit, it was incredibly amusing. Ace, however, did not share my amusement; he seemed to
Richard shook his head disapprovingly at Ryder, clearly unhappy with how easily he succumbed to Chloe's antics. As for me, I didn’t mind at all. Ryder was her uncle, and he could spoil her if he wished. The food arrived, and I took a sip of my wine. Laughter filled the air as everyone enjoyed themse
Bella…I urged the maids to hurry up with the dining room as we were busy setting it up. Only the finest cutlery and crystal glasses were to be utilized. The table was to be adorned with white tablecloths and red placemats. I moved gracefully around the room in a black dress that accentuated my figu
“You have created a family, my love.” I returned her smile, gently rubbing her shoulder as I looked down at the way she cradled her so effortlessly. She traced a finger through her dark hair. "She’s going to look like you," she said with a soft chuckle. "What have you decided?" I asked, feeling a se
The atmosphere was intense. "It's okay, Bella. I'm right here with you." I gave a reassuring smile while holding her hand. The fear coursed through me. Her contractions came in waves, accompanied by a mix of screams and whimpers. I could see the exhaustion etched on her face, but I believed in her s
She sat down on the lounger, gazing straight ahead, the sun's glare making it difficult to look up. I approached her and settled down beside her on the spacious lounger, using my arm to support her head, creating a makeshift pillow. "Ashton called me a whale the other day," she scoffed. "What a jerk
Ace… I secured my firearm back onto my belt after taking a man's life. He had it coming; he was undermining me and it was intolerable. "Clean it up," I commanded with a snap of my fingers. My team sprang into action, quickly removed the blood, the body, and any trace of what had happened here. As
