Ace POVI spent three hours playing the same game I had my entire life. I was the hardened boss who didn't allow an ounce of disrespect while everyone around me kissed my ass. Fernando somehow seemed to develop a sick fascination to me too which he made obvious all night. He constantly gave me eyes of desire and somehow fucking found reasons to rub against me. I know I'm a good looking man but Fernando needed to learn fucking boundaries. He had a serious drug addiction with a weird as fuck sex fetish. I couldn't wait until I killed him.I had ducked out a few times to speak with the workers. It appeared none were loyal to Fernando himself, only his money. As long as my demands were discreet with a hefty payment they were willing to do anything I asked. I started formulating a plan, but it would take some time. Time I didn't want to spend here or really anywhere other than locked in a room with my girl.As I left the kitchen I saw the woman who constantly scolded the red hair boy to g

Alley POVFor three amazing days I ran around this paradise of a resort with my family. The sadness in my heart for Ace was there but my family was enough to get me through. Ethan was extra attentive to me and Layla was acting mostly like herself again. When I first saw Lydia I was unsure how to act then she just hugged me for what seemed like forever. I never seen that blood sucking Barbie be nice around me before. Sure she had a fake smile on at Greg's family's event. I always saw the jealousy in her eyes though. Now it was gone. Funny how almost dying changes a person perspective of you. I wasn't sure if we would be friends but I knew going forward there would be no more hate between us. Greg smiled often when we chatted and I loved that I was making things easier for him. He was such an amazing man that I hurt so many times. I didn't even realize how I used him for so long. I promised myself I would make it up to him by being just as an amazing friend to him as he was to me. I s

Ace POVI stepped over Daniel's body walking right in a puddle of his blood. The only destination I had in my mind was my father's... no he won't be called my father ever again. He was the worst scum to walk this earth and I would happily send him to hell once I was done with my own torture for him. Igor and Ivan stood at his door but quickly moved to the side with one look at my face. My gun stayed at my side and bloody foot prints trailed behind me. I kicked open the door and walked into an empty room. Somehow the rage inside me built even higher and I could feel my insides summoning him to me as if I could make him magically appear before my eyes. The ways I would torture him, make him cry in pain and agony was a burning desire of mine. My only desire now. "Where is he?" I turned to the Russian brutes looking like they were about to crumble in fear. "He left this morning. Angelo..." My hand rose smacking the back of my gun into Ivan's face. "Don't say his name." I ordered as i

Alley POVWe spent all night watching way too many scary movies and I found myself tossing and turning more than actually sleeping. I had enough nightmares I didn't need to add chainsaw killers or creepy clowns to my already messed up mind. I sat up slowly pulling my arm from under Darien and looked to the clock. 6 am! This was ridiculous. We finally passed out at 2 and I woke three times already."Hey! Can't sleep?" Greg's groggy voice came from the other side of the double beds we pushed together. He gently moved Lydia off him then gently pulled his arm from under Derek. This was a crazy mess."Not really. A clown with a chainsaw was chasing me and thankfully I woke up right before he cut me in half." I smiled looking down at the boys. They were going to be the death of me. "I'm going to grab some coffee from the cafe downstairs. You want anything?""I'll come with you." Before I could tell him it was ok he was already out of the bed. Layla and Ethan came in around midnight to get

Elise POVI left Alley with her family feeling like a different person than I was a few weeks ago. She spent most the flight silently crying and when it was time to leave she put on her smile. I could see the self doubt that woman carried on her shoulders. I wish she could see how incredibly strong she was, but more than anything I wanted Ace to have her in his life. They were the exact opposite yet exactly the same. Complete contradictions that fit perfectly, if that's possible. Ace was a complicated man with many demons he never truly dealt with. He was good at pushing his own needs to the bottom while avenging anyone hurt by his family. He was rude, inconsiderate, and loved fucking with people, but he never hurt anyone that didn't deserve it. Most the world can't take matters into their own hands like Ace did though. I did believe in the law and that it was needed, but I also trusted in Ace. That's why even though I sat on the wrong side of good and bad I always remained by Ace's
