ALEXIA“ACE! PUT ME DOWN!” I hissed, pounding uselessly on his back as he carried me like I weighed less than air.He didn’t even flinch.Of course he didn’t. This man could walk through a burning building and look bored.His grip stayed iron‑tight—one arm locked under my thighs, the other wrapped around my waist with possessive ease—as he strode toward the stairs. His stride was slow, deliberate, annoyingly confident, like he was making a damn point.“Ace, I swear to God—”“You swear a lot,” he noted calmly. Calmly. Like we were discussing the weather. “Calmati, amore. We need to talk.”“Talking doesn’t require THROWING ME OVER YOUR SHOULDER!”“It does,” he countered without hesitation, “when you run your mouth like that.”Then—like he had the AUDACITY—he smacked the back of my thigh.“ACE!”“And when you threaten to shoot someone in the vagina,” he added casually, like he was reminding me about groceries.“That was SELF‑DEFENSE.”“No, that was entertainment,” he corrected. “And incr

Ace's POVFor some reason, the way she handled Marie—cold, calculated, fearless—turned me on in ways I couldn’t ignore. I wanted to kiss the hell out of her right there and then, but I controlled myself. Not anymore. Once Marie was gone, running for her life like a scared little rabbit, I hoisted Alexia over my shoulder without warning and strode toward my room.Once inside, I tossed her onto the bed before quickly moving to lock the door behind me. I turned around to see her sitting up, confusion written across her face.So fucking beautiful."Why did you do that, Ace?" she asked, standing, trying to regain her composure.I didn’t reply immediately. Instead, I closed the distance between us, wrapping my hand around her waist and pressing her against me. My lips met hers.She didn’t hesitate; she kissed me back with just as much fire. I bit her lower lip, asking for entrance, and she gladly obliged. My tongue explored hers as she gripped my hair tightly, pulling me in closer, making m

Alexia's POVI groaned as I heard people whispering and laughing like I was sleeping out in a park instead of a freaking bedroom."Why'd you have to turn your flashlight on?" a familiar voice asked."Are you sick? You woke her up now," another added.Slowly, I opened my eyes and squinted at the morning light. Zayn, Alex, Harry, Arielle, and Liam were all crowded in the room. Even Grace had somehow found her way in. Of course they did—everyone in this family had an obsession with disturbing people at the worst possible time.Ace’s hand was still on my waist. I was ridiculously close to him, our legs tangled together, and he was shirtless. My eyes widened as I tried to wiggle free, but I didn’t want him to let go either. Sighing, I closed my eyes again and muttered, “Get out.”“Morning, Cara Mia,” Grace said cheerfully. “Breakfast is ready. Wake that son of mine and come down to eat.” She shook her head, chuckling, and finally left.I opened one eye to glare at the others, who still had

ACEGiovanni sent us Moscov, and right now Alexia, Zayn, Harry, Alex, and I were on our way to see him. My men reported that he’d been delivered by a group from the Russian mafia—tied to a chair in the basement, untouched. My orders. Though that didn’t mean he was in good shape. Giovanni had already done his part before shipping him over.“Leave,” I ordered, and the guards slipped out, shutting the heavy door behind them. Only the people I trusted remained: Zayn, my brother. Harry. Alex. And of course, Alexia—sitting on the weapon table like she belonged there, legs crossed, eyes gleaming with curiosity.“I’ll do the interrogating. You watch,” I told her.She nodded, calm, like this was nothing more than a late-night movie. Last time she had fun. Now it was my turn.“So, Moscov,” I said, stepping toward him as his bloody face lifted weakly, “you seem like a reasonable man to me. Why betray Giovanni?”“That fucker was going soft because of Angelina,” he growled. “I heard you had a weap

Alexia's POVKnowing that both the Lebanese Mafia and the Australian Mafia were after me—or, in the latter’s case, after Ace and me together—didn’t scare me. I’d never been afraid of dying, but I did fear the collateral damage—who would get hurt because of me.We were currently in the car, heading back home. I stared out the window, the city lights blurring past, until Ace’s voice cut through the quiet.“Alexia, are you good?”I didn’t answer with words. I just gave a subtle nod.“You aren’t scared? At all?” Zayn asked from the backseat. I shook my head and finally spoke.“I’m not scared for myself. Never was. I’m scared for the people around me. I know they want me dead—but who will they hurt to get to me?”Ace’s hand moved from the wheel to rest on my thigh, the other hand steady on the steering wheel. “Hey, it’s gonna be alright,” he reassured me, his voice firm yet gentle.Alex chimed in from the backseat. “Let’s watch a movie when we get home?” Zayn immediately shouted, “Yes!” wh

Ace’s POVThe first thing I felt when I woke up was warmth—her warmth—pressed lightly against my arm.The second thing I heard was her soft, steady breathing. Almost like a whisper. Almost like a promise.Alexia.My eyes opened, and there she was, lying next to me, her face relaxed and impossibly peaceful. The same girl who could snap a man’s neck without blinking looked like the softest fucking thing in the world when she slept.I smiled—genuinely smiled—at the memory of last night. Our night.She had given herself to me.Her first time.Her trust.Her body.Me.Knowing I was the first man to ever touch her like that made something inside my chest feel too tight.“Good morning, amore,” I whispered.She blinked awake slowly, lashes fluttering, then smiled—this small, sleepy smile that made me want to kiss her all over again.“Good morning,” she murmured, leaning back into the headboard.“How are you feeling?” I asked, brushing my knuckles lightly along her thigh.She sighed. “I feel l

Ace’s POV“Fuck!”The word tore out of me, raw, desperate, filled with frustration and guilt as I threw the vase sitting on my table across the wall. It shattered into countless pieces, ceramic shards littering the floor like the mess my life had become.I hated myself. I hated that I had to play the hand I was dealt. I hated that Alexia’s trust was in my hands, and I had broken it. I could still see it in her eyes—the betrayal, the hurt, the disbelief. I had shattered her. And I hated myself even more for doing it.But I had no choice. No choice. If I hadn’t done it, they would have killed Liam. My little brother—the only family I couldn’t afford to lose. The thought of anyone laying a hand on him, of blood spilling in my own house, made me grit my teeth until they bled. I can’t let that happen. Not for anything. Not for anyone.I ran a hand through my hair, tugging hard enough to sting my scalp, trying to think. How could I explain this to her? She stormed out of the house, tears st

“Fuck!”The word ripped out of me like an explosion. My hand moved before my mind could catch up, grabbing the vase on my desk and hurling it across the room. It shattered against the wall in a violent burst—ceramic shards flying, skittering across the floor like the pieces of my fucking life.I braced both hands on the edge of the table, breathing hard. Rage and guilt twisted inside me like barbed wire.I hate myself.No—I fucking despise myself.I didn’t just hurt her.I broke her.The look in her eyes—wide, betrayed, shattered—was burned into my skull. It was going to haunt me for the rest of my goddamn life.And the worst part?I couldn’t even explain.Not then. Not now. Not when she ran out of the house like I had stabbed her in the chest.This morning when I left… I didn’t want to go. She was still warm beside me, still sleepy, still mine. And I had to walk out. Because the phone call sounded urgent. My men never called like that unless shit was about to burn.I thought it would

Alexia’s POVThe first thing I noticed was the cold. Not the kind of cold that comes from a draft or an early morning breeze—it was deeper, heavier, like the chill had seeped into my bones. I tried to move, and then the pain hit me like a brick. My wrists. My arms.They were tied. Hard. Tight. My hands ached, the skin raw where the ropes—or whatever they used—bit into my flesh. Panic clawed up my throat, but I forced myself to stay calm. Breathe. Think. Don’t panic.I looked around. The room was small. Dimly lit by a single flickering bulb overhead. Shadows danced across the rough, stone walls. No windows. No escape. Only the faint hum of electricity somewhere, distant and mocking. The air smelled of dust and cold concrete, and every sound I made echoed back at me like a cruel joke.I tried to remember how I got here, piecing together the last few hours in a haze of fear and disbelief. One moment I was leaving the main house, trying to act normal after seeing Ace… and the next… nothin
