At the poolNext day at the pool party.The bosses could be seen having the best time of their life with their women after the meeting was concluded. Light romantic music played in the background and some of the women danced to it while others stayed with their men.Ace was just about to retire to his room when one of his guards rushed to him and whispered something into his ear. Ace left for his room at once, from afar he could see Anna standing in front of his door with her head lowered.He walked faster until he got to her, she lifted her head and Ace immediately recognized her. "Come in," he muttered and opened the door to his room. Anna walked in and Ace followed, he shut the door and walked to the sofa to sit."Have your sit," Ace pointed and Anna walked to the sofa opposite his. She glanced around the room once and took her gaze down again."You are Anna.""Yes," Anna said."Do you also work for my father?" Ace questioned and confused Anna looked up at him."Your father? No,
In his room"Is he... Is he dead?" Anna tried to look at the lifeless man but Ace blocked her."Let's go," he said. Ace led Anna to his room."You can have your sit," he said as he went in search of something she could wear in his closet, Anna took a sit, still startled by what happened."Try not to think of it," Ace advised as soon as he came out from the closet. He dropped the shirt he brought with him on the bed and asked her to change into it."Huh?" Anna looked at him, confused by his request."Aren't you spending the night here? Or do you have a dress to change into?" Ace questioned staring back at her."Oh-oh, I could ask Bay to...""Just change into it, I'll be outside." Ace interrupted before leaving her alone in the room.Anna stood up and walked to the bed, she took the shirt and examined it, the shirt was quite long and could get to her thigh if she wears it.But it's his shirt, I've never worn a man's shirt. Not even Desmond's, Anna thought.Anna gently dropped the shirt
Bambina's trouble"Is it true that Padrino has a woman? That he has children with her too? Is it true?" Bambina asked as she tried to hold back her tears."Calm down Bambina, calm down. Here, wipe your tears first," Cosimo found some tissue and gave it to her. Bambina slapped the tissue away angrily. "Answer me!! Just answer me!" Bambina yelled."It is true, yes, he has a woman. Yes, he has children with her," Cosimo walked to his bed and sat down, he was no longer feeling so sleepy."When? How? When did it all happen? How did it happen? Explain to me." Bambina walked to him."You will have to calm down before I say a word Bambina, the last thing I need is someone yelling out their lungs so early." "Just spill it Cosimo, just tell me," Bambina demanded."Do you prefer I go back to sleep? I still feel sleepy, maybe you should wake me up when you are calm, or better still go yell at the Don."Cosimo laid down on the bed and did as if he was going to sleep."Just tell me, I'm calm tel
A gift "It's time, it's officially time to meet your kids," Cosimo said in excitement as he held the car door open for Ace.Ace shook his head at his Consigliere's childish attitude and got into the car, the meeting got concluded last night and he was finally returning to his mansion.Cosimo sat down beside the driver and instructed him to leave, the driver started the vehicle and drove out of the compound."What about the results I asked for?" Ace asked."Oh the results, I forgot to give you the result but they all came out positive, all six of them," Cosimo informed and Ace relaxed against his sit."Are you nervous? Don't tell me you are nervous.""I'm not, shut it!"Ace scoffed."But why do you have that look on your face? And is that a sweat I see there?" Cosimo said teasingly.The driver cleared his voice and Cosimo gawked at him."What? Do you have something to say?" Cosimo glared at him."No sir, forgive me, sir.""Just focus on what you are doing, I'll have your head if you li
The dinningSame Day. At the dining.Anna gathered the children at the dining when it was dinner time and they all happily came out including Rico. Bay and Cosimo joined the dinner shortly and the only person left was Ace."Is Daddy not joining us for dinner, Mom?" The kids curiously asked."Of course he is, he will be down soon," Cosimo answered the kids."So guys before your daddy joins us, you need to tell me about yourselves, so who is starting first?" Cosimo looked at them."What do you want to know about us?" Riccardo asked."Um... Who are your friends back in America and were you guys sad because you were leaving them? How much do you like it here? Do you like it here better or not?" Cosimo lined up his questions as he tried to engage the kids.Anna and Bay exchanged a few glances as the kids reply Cosimo."I think you should go and check on him again," Bay whispered to Anna when Ace didn't show up after some time. Anna shook her head reluctantly."Rico, can you bring your da
Love life?The next morning Lady Mary came to Ace's mansion to stay with them, once she arrived she went in search of Ace to inform him of her arrival.She got to his room and knocked on his door and when he doesn't answer she went in search of him in his office and luckily found him there."Good morning Padrino. I'm done arranging the gathering house, everything is back to its place now." Lady Mary announced."I'll see you later Mary," Ace simply said and Lady Mary left.Ace came out of his office ready to head out for a meeting scheduled with someone when Luna blocked him on his way out."Daddy, where are you going to? You haven't given us a good morning kiss," Luna said."Oh, I'm sorry about that Princess," Ace picked her up and kissed her on both cheeks which made her giggle a lot. Aldora who was nearby also rushed to get her kiss and before you know it the girls surrounded and prevented him from leaving the house."Dad have breakfast with us before you leave, have breakfast with
Mary's life"That evil man is my father, Mr. Agostino is my biological father so I know that much." ."I'm so sorry to hear this Mary," Anna couldn't help but apologize. "You don't need to feel sorry for me or anyone else, this is my fate, although it appears bad I'll live through it with pride."Anna took her gaze down, she felt bad and embarrassed with herself for her dislike for Mary, she never imagined that Mary lived such painful life."One fateful day I annoyed that evil man, I broke a glass cup while trying to serve him and his visitors, he got so angry and decided to discharge me. The man didn't see me as a useful object and he wanted to discharge me with his own hands so he took his hand around my neck and started strangling me.I was around 23 at that time, he didn't even let me attend college because he saw it as a waste of time. While he was strangling me Sir Ace ran out from his room and knocked him to the floor. I was almost out of breath at that time but I saw the angr
Photo albumAnna watched in shock as Ace stood in the middle of her room."What is that?" Ace pointed to the album still laying on the bed and that was when she snapped back to her senses."Ye... Yes, you can come in," Anna closed the door and rushed towards him."Oh, that? That is an album, the children's photo album." She took the album and gave it to him."You can check the pictures out," Anna smiled.Ace sat down on the sit he found and opened it, he started flipping through the pages slowly as he saw cute poses of the children. And for the first time since Anna knew Ace, she saw him laugh a little when he saw a funny pose Riccardo made, he was only three there. "Riccardo right?" He asked still laughing."Yes, he is the one, I don't know why he makes these funny faces whenever his picture is about to be taken.""Is that all?" After going through the two albums Anna gave him, he implored."No, there are more actually but I usually don't touch them for fear of misplacing one of th
