~Lianna Black~
Watching Ace land his fist on Luka’s blooded face is a blood curdling sight. Feeling nauseous, my head was spinning and I thought I was going to faint.
How did we come to this situation?
“Ace!” I called his name for the nth time. Unsure of what I was going to say to him. “Please, stop…” my weakening legs moved on their own accord. I tried to grab hold of Ace's fist, but he pushed me away, making me land on my ass ungracefully.
His icy gray eyes were completely dark, clouded with pure hatred and anger directed towards his best friend.
Crowds were building up around us now, but all I could focus on was the smile on Luka’s face as Ace continued to pound on him.

~Lianna Black~“Are we going to get up from this bed or what?” was my question when Ace wouldn’t even allow me to go to the bathroom. “I need to pee so badly, Ace.”“No” he only tightened his arms around me.“Come on, Ace” I groaned. It was a cute and sweet gesture, but when your bladder is about to explode, it’ll get annoying at some point.“Fine,” throwing the covers off of our body, Ace scooped me in his arms and carried me to the bathroom. “Do it.”Rolling my eyes, he finally allowed me to stand on my feet. “Are you just going to stand there?” I groaned when he didn’t move from where he was standing.

~Ace Romano~When the girl you love asks you to kiss her and make things better, what choice do you have but to oblige, right?I did what Lianna asked and damn did she taste heaven. It was nice to kiss her without using force. She was giving what I want without us fighting over it.My hands stayed where they were as my lips molded perfectly with hers. One rested on the small of her back, keeping her close to me while I wrapped the other around her neck, tilting her face to give me more access to her sweet mouth.Lianna’s hands fisted my shirt, tugging me towards her. Bending a little, I allowed her to pull me down to accommodate our height difference.I don’t plan on taking things too far with her, not now. Scarin

~Lianna Black~“Please, say something.” Still inside me, Ace kept his gaze locked with mine. His icy gray eyes in turmoil, shoulders stiff and jaws clenching and unclenching.A few seconds more, his eyelids flutter close. The heavy intake of air he did was only making my chest constrict tightly. I had willed myself for the inevitable. He wouldn’t want this baby with me. However, it’s still so hard to accept that this is the reaction I’m getting from him.“I want you again, Lianna” Ace groaned, lifting me by my butt cheeks, and soon I was the one resting on the couch.Ace didn’t allow me to voice out a protest. With his huge stature between my legs, he wrapped my wanton legs around his waist. Kneeling in front of me, he pull

~Lianna Black~“What do you mean, Lian?” Alexa had been pacing our living room back and forth for about twenty minutes now.Ace agreed with my plan before we came back to my place. Our baby’s safety comes first and the more people who know about my pregnancy, the more danger there is for us.“It is what it is, Alex,” I said calmly.Alexa glared at me, seeing a glimpse of the heartless assassin that she is sending shivers all over my body. I’ve seen her like this once, when she was in Ace’s captivity. Just a look from her would have anyone cowering away.“You,” she snapped towards Ace, who was sitting calmly beside me on the loveseat couch.

~Lianna Black~Knowing my mother’s life had long been twinned with Ace’s father was an immense shock for me. I knew my father was not born a powerful man. It must be Ace’s father Dante had told me about when he held me captive with Mira’s assistance in Ragusa.I understand now where my father’s deep anger for the Italian mafia comes from. My mom had smitten both Arthur Black and Eugene Santino. She chose to be with my father and had Alexa and I along the way. My father blames Ace’s father for every misfortune in their relationship that had transpired from then on.“Dad will be our biggest problem,” I mumbled against Ace’s chest.After narrating my mother’s love story to me, Ace and I decided to stay in and order

~Lianna Black~Ace let out a snit when we heard a loud knock on the cabin.“Let the kids be, Arthur,” an unfamiliar voice sounded on the other side of the door.“I will kill your son for hurting my daughter!” my father growled angrily.Holding Ace’s hand, I flinched when another sound of gunfire reverberated outside the cabin. “Let me handle him,” I whispered to Ace.“No, he can’t take you away from me,” he stubbornly responded. We were whispering like we were the ones invading privacy instead of our fathers.“No one will take me away from you, Ace,” I cupped Ace’s face and pecked his lips. Reaching for

~Lianna Black~“Dad?” taking careful steps down the narrow staircase, I announced my presence. From one corner of the area, warm light met my eyes, and the faint smell of an old storage room mixed with scents of enamel and acrylic paints. “Dad?”As I reached the end of the stairs, I looked around and saw every furniture covered with white cloth. A bed rest on one side, few dusty books placed untidily on the shelves, and the huge lonely form of my father met my gaze. He was sitting in front of an easel. His shoulders gently roll up and down in sync with his hands, moving the brush on the bare canvas.“Dad,” I placed my hands on his shoulder. He didn’t flinch, but his hands stopped from moving gracefully.The canvas was painted with black and blue stormy colors. Both dark shades from two colors occupy the opposing side of the canvas. Lighter shades dance around the darker one. A fight for dominance, light and dark s

~Lianna Black~It was safe to say that I got my father to work with the Italian mafia. He had his own condition, though. And I’m regretting ever agreeing with him on this.One by one, Dad’s men came to the Romano estate. Most of them looked like normal human beings and not the assassin kind that I was picturing in my mind. I thought they’d be as stiff as my father, but they got along so well with Ace’s men. It made me happy that the alliance between Dad’s Black shadows group and the Italian mafia is finally happening.It caused a fuss in the underworld, of course. We prepared ourselves for this, but what I didn’t expect was Dad’s last condition.~~We gathered in the great room after my heart to heart talk with my father. I managed to make Eugene Santino and Arthur Black sit across from each other without burning the Romano estate down.Standing in front of the Italian mafia underbosses and capos, to
