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
