What Happened To The Ace Family Novels & Stories

"Didn't we agree to let Max make his own choices? To support him no matter what?" "We did." My father turned to her, his expression pleading. "And I was ready to. I was ready to accept their relationship, to welcome Ace into our family. But that was before I found out what I know." "What do you know?" The question came from both me and my mother at the same time, our voices overlapping. My father took a deep breath. "His family took you away from us when you were a baby." The words didn't make sense. They were English, I understood each one individually, but strung together like that they might as well have been in another language.

Relief showed in the small shift. Ace came in thirty minutes later. He sat down at the table and looked at both of us and then he started talking. He went through the meeting in order. The broadcast. The mother's story. The Morettis ordering the hit because she tried to leave. The two years of running. The debt used as the mechanism. We listened without interrupting. When he finished the room was quiet for a moment. "She left her family for you," I said. "Yes," Ace said. "That was the core decision."

Arriving home was the event that I expected it to be. As soon as we exited the plane our family pulled us into a big hug. The perks of flying in a private jet. They kept wiggling their eyebrows at us and it wasn't until Alex pulled up something on his phone showing us a picture.

He smiled back and wept at the same time. He knew she was not me, but he also knew that I would live forever in his memory. I would watch over him differently. Our family’s story, which began in the cruelest way imaginable, ended in the gentlest way possible. We said goodbye, wrapped in love. We would meet again in memory. Forever.

Of course he did, the same milk of glass he gave her in which he had mixed the abortion pills to kill their child. Her teary eyes stared in his as she grabbed the back of his head and clashed the edge of the glass against his lips making him stare back at her. If he wanted he could simply refuse to drink it but something in him didn't want to hold back as well, there was nothing left in him to go on anyways. He had gotten everything he wanted but at the same time there was nothing left in his hands. Ace's death news spread like a fire around the country, Sia became another victim of his psychotic break, and his body was crushed by his brother before he surrendered to death. Ace knew what he

I asked bitterly. Ace's hand reached for my fingers. He took them gently and kissed them. "I already told you. On Dante Hill, we are the Cassilas family. We live our lives as normal people. There's no pack, no Alpha, and no Luna. All I ever wanted was a family." Ace turned to me and kissed my fingers as he focused on the road ahead. "You are Mrs. Cassilas, the mother of the Cassilas children," he added, soothing my heart.

Ace knows my body more than I do indeed. Settling myself in the middle of his legs, Ace wrapped his arms around me. I stared at the dancing light of the fire, red flame dominating the other colors, prevailing and beautiful. It only dawned on me that I never heard stories about Ace’s mother. Word has it, she died in an attack on their Villa somewhere in Italy years ago. However, this sister he mentioned earlier is unknown to the whole underworld.

"But it's never okay! I am not fine!" Her vulnerability gave Eloïse room to snatch her into a hug and join the distress. Glad that she wasn't the only one who missed Ace so. That she wasn't the only one to have seen what they had become in his absence. She guessed just like them, Nate and their parents too missed him despite being a nuisance as they crowned him. Ace's departure or better still exile hit them to wreckage. Ace was no doubt the heart of the family.

I said, finding a small smile creeping on my lips. "Great, so we're going to end up with two nerds in the family in the future. Him and his future wife. Let's hope the gene doesn't cancel itself out and make his children stupid," Ace grumbled, pulling into a cemented driveway that led to a white house that had the American flag flying out front. "Again, you're being mean," I chided with a glare. "I'm just kidding. The more smart people the better. We can't all be killers in the family. We need some hackers and strategists, too," Ace threw open his door and left the car while flashing me a grin.

"When I was bothering you in the cafeteria, do you remember that you said that my face reminded you of someone?" And the blue-eyed girl furrowed her brow in surprise. "I was the one who wanted your parents dead, Alicia," Ace said slowly. "I approached you and found out information about them, then I let dad manipulate my brain. Because I thought that your parents would destroy mom and dad's business back then." Alicia was shocked, so she got up and exclaimed, "So, you killed them, huh?! You killed my parents!" Instead of shouting back, Ace calmed down and looked at his girlfriend regretfully. "It wasn't me. It was Dad. He was the one who prepared the accident," he said frankly. "You should h
