Chapter 8 I didn't like the idea of Ace knowing so much about me. Only God knows how much he know. It terrified me, did he know everything that happened in my past? I felt like he had a book filled with information about me. Finger prints, birthday, favourite things. He probably even know where I can find the woman who gave birth to me. Ace and I stared at each for felt like an eternity. He was most likely waiting for me to prolong this conversation. I wanted to scold him, he can't just walk into my life and tell me what to do like that. It wasn't something I was used to. I always did things on my own without anyone, ever since dad died. "You should not have done that because I don't want it. I already accepted living with you, but what I did not accept is you offering to buy me new stuff." I condemn. "Do you know why? It's because I don't want your corrupt money to go towards anything that have to do with me. I don't know what you are involved in so I don't want anything
Chapter 9 After almost flooding the bathroom and breaking the stylish faucet. I dried myself and got dress in a pair of jeans with rip in the knees and a black shirt. I decided to only wear my socks since I didn't want to get dirt on the floor while wearing the only pair of shoes I own which is a old black Chuck Taylor all-star converse. I found the kitchen after about five minutes of searching. The large house was designed very elegantly, it had a feminine touch which made me wonder who had chosen all these decor. "Hey there," Someone says from behind me before throwing an arm around my shoulder. Micah wore blue jeans and a white t-shirt. He was also taller than me and his personality I could get use to. "I see my brother didn't stop until you came with him.""Yeah he's very persuasive," I say awkwardly as Micah and I walk into the kitchen where Ace was sitting busy on his phone. He didn't even acknowledge our presence until Micah cleared his throat with his arm still around m
Chapter 10 It's been three weeks and a couple days since I moved here. Ace was here most of the time and during those times he argues with his brother like cat and dog. When they weren't busy trying to bite each other heads off Ace would abruptly appear at my side playing in my hair or kissing my cheeks and forehead without my permission and every time he does this it makes my heart skip a beat or beats harder which makes me wonder if I'm developing a heart problem. Other than Ace having to leave for a couple hours most of the time without stating where he's going despite it being none of my business; I can't say there's anything shady going on. Well that's what I would say if I didn't know he was the son of the deceased Mafia. Micah on the other hand, I got along with him. Turns out he is a computer genius. He's like Jimmy Neutron only a hundred times better looking, with perfect hair like his brother, a lot taller and of course he doesn't get into trouble while using his br
Chapter 11 "I was born in a middle class family back in Mexico, both my parents were Mexicans. I was told that I had my mother eyes. I wouldn't know because she abandon us when I was only three. Papa raised me until I was nine years old, we actually moved to the US when I turn eight and he got a good job.""One night he was driving—the roads were icy, but we were almost home. It all happen so fast that I can barely recall the incident. All I remember is my body flying out of his blue van, which hit a street light far away from where I was thrown.""I cried as I watched it explode into flames. I remember waking up in a hospital room, my left arm was in a cast and I had a few bruises here and there. I came to realize what had happen when I saw a doctor talking to a woman dressed in some fancy suit—" I paused as I remember what they were talking about.""What were they saying?" Ace ask. I didn't want to see his reaction, I lean my head on his shoulder for the second time toni
Chapter 12 Whispers were heard outside of my bedroom door. Ace fell asleep next to me and he was no longer there. I check the time on his phone that was left on the night table. 1:05 am. Gosh no wonder my eyes feel like they are a dozen pins poking them. "It won't be long before they locate us. We need to move." "Get the men ready I'll get Joeniya. " Seconds later the door push open and Ace hurried in. "Hey sleeping beauty. I want to apologize in advance." Sitting up I run my fingers through my tangled hair. "For what?" He sigh. "We're leaving for Russia in a couple of hours. You need to pack your important things so we can make it to the airstrip in time." "What's going on Ace?" I ask while doing as I was told. "I've been trying to keep this from you in order to keep you safe, but Paul wants revenge and he has located us." We boarded Ace private plane at 4:00 am. Micah went back to sleep after complaining about having a private plane and still had
Chapter 13 Rico thought it was a good idea for us to find something fun to do while he prepare his favourite Russian dish. Micah's kind of fun is not fun for me, reason being I was the one getting all the hurt. I dogged a punch sent at me and meet another one that was sent at my face. "Ouch!" I yell before placing my finger on my bottom lip. It was bleeding. "Hey take it easy on her!" Ace yelled at his brother while looking at my bruise lip. "I always wanted a sister." "What for, so she can be your personal punching bag?" I ask him. "Well no." Micah answered. "I'm sorry Joe Joe, but you need to practice this; besides you said I shouldn't take it easy on you." "I'll handle you later." Ace seethe before pulling me out of the training room. "It's a good thing I didn't let him near the gun. Probably Jake was right." Earlier Jake told them I didn't need training, that I am at a safe place and there are professionals who will protect me. "I don't think he would shoot
Chapter 14 The house was just beautiful. It was a one story house painted in warm yellow. There are five bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, living room and washroom. Nothing over the top. The beach was located at the back of the house that Ace says I'll get to see in a little while. He was in the kitchen busy unpacking the food he had bought, while I admire the beauty this house had to offer. The walls held arts of flowers and other picture of nature, there was also a large sea shell hanging over the large black couch in the living room. I never want to leave this place. I was busy reading a quote written on the bedroom wall when I felt Ace's presence behind me follow by his arm snaking their way around my waist. His breath brushes my neck like soft whispers as he spoke, "Do you like it here?""I love it Ace. Can we stay here, like this forever?"His chest vibrates against my back as he chuckles. "I wish things were that easy Angel, but I promise you one day it will be j
Chapter 15 It's been four weeks after Ace and I went to the beach house. Micah have been acting a little weird Ace nor Rico is around and I need to find out what's wrong with him. "Are you sure you are okay?" Micah ask holding back my hair as my breakfast makes it way in the toilet. "I'm fine it's probably just a flu. What about you?" I flush the toilet. "You look a little pale. I think I should call Ace to take you to the doctor." "I'm fine Joeniya, you are the one I'm worried about." He said in between coughs. "It's just a little nausea Micah." I feel his forehead, this is not his normal temperature, I thought. "Micah you are burning up and you're breathing isn't r—" before I could finish I was puking again. Micah sat in the corner and watch as I rinse my mouth. I know something is wrong with him and I'm not going to sit around and wait until his symptoms gets worst. "I'm going to call Ace to take you to the hospital." I inform him. Luckily I kep
