The club was only 20 minutes from the house. The ride was silent, Ace and I stole glances here and there. It was hard not to stare considering he was sitted directly opposite. One time, we stared long enough to see who would break until the driver announced we had reached.

And I accidentally blinked and he winked celebrating his little victory. I rolled my eyes and got out of the car making my way to the back entrance, while Ace made his way to the front.

I flashed a fake smile to the guard wh

  • Over my dead body...or yours.   chapter 150

    “Did you grab food?” My wife said as I got in the car, bouncing excitedly in the passenger seat. “Did I grab the food?” I said playfully as I held up all her favorite and disgusting food she’s been craving for the past month. “God you’re the best.” She said as she snatched the peanut butter and Oreos out of my hand before I started the car and drove to the private airfields. I fell asleep for most of the flight, and woke up to the somber memory of all four of us laughing on our way to Colombia before both of them jumped out of the plane. Well, my brother willingly jumped out. I looked out the window at the tarmac and the surrounding buildings as we landed smoothly. I looked over at my wife, and gently nudged her shoulder to wake her up. “We’re here love. Come on.” I said as I gave her a slight smile. We exited the jet, and I got into the driver’s seat of the black Range Rover that waited for us and drove towards the shore. The beautiful and lush countryside was gorgeous, and I m

    ***ROMANO’S POV *** 4 weeks later*** We watched as my brother’s coffin was lowered into the ground. My father held my mother as she was crying hysterically, and to my surprise, even the Grey’s were crying over the loss of Ace. Allegra's coffin was buried on the other side of the field, something I know they’d absolutely protest against. I know that they’d want to be buried side by side, hell they’d even be buried in the same coffin if they could. But I kept my mouth shut and my opinions to myself as I watched the rest of the ceremony with my wife by my side. After Ace and Allegra went down to stop Moskov, the Russians grabbed the family members and dragged us down to the basement on a private elevator. Alice wasn’t a blood relative, so she was left behind. Luckily for me, my wife is a total badass, and practically killed all the Russian members at the venue herself. She found the explosives, and she and the members snuck down to the basement, and rigged them to the bottom of the s

    Fuck! Fuck! Fucking Fuck Me!!!! My heart was racing as we pulled up to the estate, both from anger, excitement, anxiety, and fear. I was going to see Ace after 5 months! A part of me wanted to run into his arms, while the other part wanted to slit his neck. As the car stopped, my excitement quickly morphed into anger and sadness. He didn’t want to see me. He didn’t miss me. If he did, he would have written, he would have tried, he would have done something, anything. I needed closure. I needed to know why he completely disappeared from my life like a vapor vanishing in the wind. I needed a freaking explanation, a good one. I stepped out of the car and took a deep breath. I slowly walked up the steps to the house and opened the massive double doors. I opened the doors to see Alice running towards me with a huge smile plastered across her face. She embraced me with so much force, I had to stumble backwards in order to prevent falling on the marble floor. “ALLEGRA! Fuck I’ve missed

  • Over my dead body...or yours.   chapter 147

    For the past 5 weeks that he’s been absent from my life, I was starting to think something happened to him, but it was rather unlikely considering he’s one of the best assassins in the world. He was one hard fucker to kill, and if he was alive… that means he forgot about me… avoided me on purpose. At first, I was a complete and total mess, drinking every night until I couldn’t feel the pain in my chest anymore. But after 2 weeks, I broke beyond the point of no return. I was numb, comfortably numb, and I embraced the familiar feeling with open arms. It was all a lie, all of his words, the sweet nothings he’d whisper in my ear, the promises, everything was a fucking lie. If he meant what he said, he wouldn’t have given up so easily on us because there was just a few thousand miles between us. He just… gave up. I was sent on a recon mission, to strictly gather information and to not engage in any combat unless absolutely necessary. But since Ace vanished from my life, I went on a damn

  • Over my dead body...or yours.   chapter 146

    It’s been 155 days since I’ve arrived in this frozen shithole. I’m not sure whether it’s the constant snowfall, or my aching heart, but time seems to move unbearably slow here. When I first arrived here, things weren’t as bad as I thought it would be. Ace blew up my phone 24/7, our conversations usually consisted of him telling me how much he loved me following a heated discussion consisting of me convincing him to not take the first flight down to Samara and bring me back home. Some nights were impeccable. We talked for hours at a time as the sun rose in Russia, and the moon lit up the sky in New York. No matter how uneventful or dull my day was, I was always excited to go back to my hotel room because I knew Ace would be calling. But as Issac Newton so eloquently described, with every action, there is equal or opposite reaction, some days were less desirable than others. The belligerent calls were an obvious indication that the distance was driving a wedge between us. Russia was

    “I can’t wait to take you to Italy, Amore. I can’t believe you’ve never been there!” He said as looked at me with excitement in his grey eyes. “It’s amazing, greatest culture, art, food, wine, you’d absolutely love it there baby.” Ace talked about his home with so much enthusiasm, it was like he was a kid on Christmas, and it was absolutely adorable. “Can you blame me? It’s forbidde, De Luca territory. I’d be killed before I even crossed the border.” I chucked as I took another sip of my wine. It took a moment for my words to process in my mind, and a somber feeling spread throughout my body at the fact that I’d never be able to experience it with him. I could tell he was thinking the same as his smile slowly faded, and was sat in silence. “Ace, how long do you think we can keep this up?” I asked quietly after a few moments. “What do you mean babygirl?” He asked with his eyebrows furrowed. “Us. How long can we continue keeping this a secret. I said as I took another sip of my win

    “Where is Moskov hiding?” My father chimed in. I couldn’t give a fuck where Moskov was. I’m here to make sure he regrets the day he was ever born. The Russian let out a bloody spit to the floor. I walked back to the table, and hummed Ace and I’s song: Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You as my fingers ca

    “What exactly is hard for you?”My father said with concern, awaiting my answer. Oh you know, the man that I love is currently fighting for his life on the operating table THAT’S WHAT. “The Russians.” I said, standing up straight and regaining my composure. “This war with them has gone for way to

    “North side cleared.” Romano called on the mic. “West side, cleared.” Alice called from her sniper position up above. “South side cleared.” I state as I evaluate my surroundings. “East side cleared.” Aces' deep voice said from behind me as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I looked around, o

    Ace's hands immediately stopped on the keys, filling the room once again with an eerie silence. He rapidly pushed me behind him protectively. We looked towards the entrance, where Alice and Romano were leaning against the cracked doorframe with smug smirks plastered on their faces. “Aww why’d you
