Ace POV:A black eye peered at me through thick, white glasses, a hint of confusion evident.Iris quickly moved my hand behind me, concealing the gun."Mama!" Iris called out, her voice ringing with affection.Her small hands clung tightly to the woman's large belly."Oh! Baby look at you," the woman exclaimed, her gaze softening as she looked at Iris.Iris's face lit up with a big, beautiful smile."Who is he?" the woman asked, her eyes darting suspiciously towards me."Mama, it's Ace. Ace, meet Mama Trina," Iris introduced us, her joy apparent.I nodded in acknowledgment as I took in Trina's appearance. She seemed to be in her late 60s, her demeanor warm yet guarded.Returning Iris's smile, Trina spoke, "You're friend?" her gaze shifting between Iris and me."Mama... uh... he's my..." Iris hesitated, her fingers fidgeting nervously.Trina's gasp echoed in the room, followed by an intense scrutiny.Pardon me, didn't just look at me, she freaking scanned me from top to bottom."He lo
Ace POV:I huffed like a fucking kid and clenched my jaw.Pussy.Pussy- whipped.I-I...We can cuddle later, too," she bargained, making her doe eyes glistening in happiness.Mini, we both despise crowds and people so why we are in a crowded market," My deep authoritative voice rumbled.I want to show you a normal Sunday evening," she mumbled, swinging our joint hands back and forth.God, why does she have to be this perfect?Ok," I sulked.There is a fair, maybe we could buy something," she said, encouragingly when I agreed, unfortunately.Well, who am I to say No to her?We walked inside the crowded people, our eyes wandering through the things that were placed outside the shop to attract customers.Dresses, shoes, jewelry, food, etc.Our hands joined tightly. She would squeeze my hand whenever she would see some people staring at us.Yeah, we looked odd together and I looked odd too much.But it made me proud that she was doing this because I never had normal things to experience. F
Author's POV:Beep, beep, beep, beep.Ace Salvatore's eyes snapped open to the sound of a ringing alarm which is annoying him so much.But eventually, he got up from bed and wrapped a towel around his body.Walking towards his bedroom because he doesn't have sexual relations in his bedroom.After freshening up Ace wore his black suit which suited his physique body perfectly then he was faced with his bodyguard, assistant, right hand overall one of his closest friends Ivan Smith."Buongiorno capo ( Good morning Boss)" Ivan said in monotone.Ace nod his head in return.Even though they were friends Ace maintained a cold posture always and Ivan is used to his nature.So he didn't make any fun not this time."Capo le spedizioni sono arrivate, le armi sono pronte per la spedizione. Cosa dovremmo fare con il capo Larry? ( Boss the shipments are arrived, weapons are ready for shipment. What should we do with Larry boss?)" Ivan asked, walking behind him.Ace hates one thing- betrayal. Which L
Ace POV:"Stop it Aiden, before I come and kick your ass", I sighed and rolled on my stomach.Because my stupid fucking friend was tickling the sole of my feet- which I found annoying and irritating."Come on Ace, wake up, we are all here to see your psycho ass and you behave like that", Aiden shook his head in disappointment.I opened my eyes and saw my friends sitting on various things but not on couch.Aiden was on the end of my bed, Felix was leaning on the door at the entrance, and Liam was scrolling through his phone as always in my bed.Leo was sitting with Liam like there was no space in this big ass room, Hudson was glaring at me sitting on a table and Alexander was calming Hudson.Yeah, these are my friends from school and college days, well basically my remaining family."..Ivan said you killed someone", Hudson asked sighing."Yeah, I did And that's none of your business Hud," I said my voice came off gruffly.I rubbed my face and a yawn left my lips."Ace did you forget ou
Ace POV:Ivan was bombarding me with questions, but honestly, she didn't seem dangerous at all.I couldn't understand why he was so serious.He drove the car while the girl and I sat in the back, silently.Despite her small size, I hoped she might be useful to me somehow.I snapped my fingers to get her attention since she had kept her head down from the start.Judging by her looks, she must be 15 or 16 years old."Come ti chiami (What's your name?)", I asked and lit a cigarettes'.She looked at me clueless, it was clear that she didn't understand."Your name", I asked my voice came out roughly than I intended it to be.She had this baby-faced appearance with doe eyes, pouty lips, fluffy cheeks, caramel skin, curly hair sticking to her head, and a red nose—probably from sniffing and rubbing it simultaneously."..I-Iris", her voice was low and a little squeaky."Age", I asked, rubbing my temple.She didn't look afraid more like she is nervous. Weird."..17", She uttered, looking at my
Ace POV:Ivan gave me details about her when I came office but everything was clear about her.Iris...no surname, No parents, One brother who's no longer contact her, working 2-3 small paying jobs and living with her roommate in a shitty hostel."Looks like I saved her innocent ass", I tsked.Ivan shrugged his shoulder."I think so boss, but still we have to be always careful", Ivan said."I don't think she even know how to live in the outside world," I throwed the files on the table and started to work.As I arrived at my mansion after work and the whole house was different.There was flower vases, smell of fucking cookies and food. What the hell!"Melinda!!!", I yelled as she came running from the kitchen, hurriedly."What the fuck is going on here! do you think this is some park that you put flower's and shit or do you think this is your house? Answer me goddamn it!! ", I yelled.Her head hung low as her body trembled.I hate flower's inside the house, it just angers me and the hou
1 MONTH LATERAce POV:"You can't find him! Are you fucking kidding me! Find him before I cut all your necks. Dismiss! ", I yelled, irritatingly.Everyone nodded thier head in synchronized.As I came out of the office after yelling for hours because the Noah is nowhere to be found now.If I tell Liam he will find him in an hour. He's the best hacker in our group.But I don't want any one of them to know about her, then they will eventually find out about Iris and that will make a huge drama in my house. Fucking Dramas.Yeah! Hudson don't trust me with girl's well that's what he think about me FUCK BOY.Well about Iris she's just roaming inside the house like a snail. Always roaming in the corners silently and cleaning something.Silent, shy and submissive."Boss", Ivan yelled, grabbing my attention because we arrived at the mansion."I am not deaf Ivan," I said, emotionlessly.I know he must be glaring at me right now. I don't care it's not like he don't mess with me.As I entered the

Lifeless peoples.Today I am going to talk to boss because i
