"Princess , would you like something to eat?" Jane , a maid of hers says with a soft smile. Lia was on her bed with a smile on her face as she did her homework.
"Yes thank you! Can I have pancakes please?" She asked nicely . Jane only smiled as she nodded her head.
Jane has always been her maid ever since she was five. Too her Jane was like her second mother she could depend on. Her phone buzzed and she looked at it confusingly. Hey . Can I come over ? She totally forgot she gave her number to Ace yesterday.
Lia felt her heartbeat rise and she grabbed her phone , almost falling off the bed at that . Yes ! Let's have a sleepover ! She texted back with a couple of emojis.
It's a school night . You need your sleep silly . Text me your address. He replied back making Lia saddened but she understood. She gave him her address and got up from her bed waltzing over to her closet. She pulled out a yellow summer dress and she let her hair fall low.
After changing , the door opened and Jane walked in with her favorite blueberry pancakes. "Yay!" She cheers as she sits in her seat and devours the pancakes. Jane giggles at the girl.
"Slow down dear." She scolds as she gave Lia a look. Lia nodded her head and said a low "yes ma'am"
Minutes later the door bell ranged and Lia has completely finished with her pancakes. She skipped down the stairs and to the door but someone stopped her. "Lia what did I say before? Don't open the door without one of us." James her butler scolds .
Lia blushed from embarrassment but nodded her head. "Sorry." James ruffles her hair and gave her a short smile before opening the door.
"Yes?" James asks as he looks at Ace suspiciously. Ace did the same and then saw a Lia below James knees.
Ace smiled at her and Lia smiled as well. "I'm here for her." James furrowed his brows before looking down at Lia.
"You made a friend and didn't tell me?" James says with a frown and Lia giggles as she let's Ace in fully .
"I'm sorry ! We'll chat later . We're going to my roo-
"Not happening." Her mothers voice speaks up as she looks at them. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Ace suspiciously once again. "You again? What is this?"
Ace cleared his throat as he smiles at Gina. "I'm just hanging with her , there's nothing to worry about."
Gina was about to say something but Lia groaned. "Mama... please . He's my first friend l-let us hang please?" She whimpers as she feels the tears coming to her eyes. She held on Ace's arm as she looks at her more with pleading eyes. This tactic usually worked on her mother.
Ace winced as he wiped away her tears. "Don't cry ? We can hang another time beautiful." He smiles as he kisses her cheek. Though he didn't want to leave but he knew it would take time for there relationship to grow. That is , with him and Gina.
Gina looked at her crying daughter before she sighed. "Fine Fine! But I want the door opened." She gives in as she hugs her daughter. "Don't cry anymore hunny okay?"
Lia sniffed as she nodded her head and gave her mother a hug. "Promise! Okay let's go to my room Ace!" She pulls away from her mother and holds Ace's hands . She dragged him to his room and kept the door opened as her mother instructed.
Ace looks around the girls room and smiled. She had stuffed animals almost everywhere and her bed was pink . "So why'd you want to come over ?"
In reality, Ace just wanted to see her. He said some difficult business at the gang. He had to kill one of his trusted gang member. His name was Joey. But he was a lier and a thief. "I just wanted to see you."
Lia blushes as she jumps on her bed. Ace watched her as she licked her lips and nodded her head. To him she looked gorgeous. But that was nothing knew because he found her gorgeous the moment he saw her in the hallway.
"Oh okay!" She giggles as she pulls her phone out. She starts to scroll on her phone hoping to find a game she liked . She felt his gaze on her and she noticed that he was now sitting on the bed with her.
He didn't say anything to her only stared at her. For once he couldn't stop staring at her. His heart actually raised. It was all so scary to him. "Oh my gosh you're bleeding !" She hisses as she looks at his cheek.
Ace's eyes widened and he looks away. "It's nothing . Don't worry about it beautiful." He tried to cover it up but Lia was not buying it. She shook her head and held his arm , leading him to her bathroom.
"Sit." She demands with her best scary face. Ace only smiled at her and sat on the toilet . Lia got a cloth and put water on it. She cleared the blood fully and she looked at Ace. He was already staring at her. "W-What?" She blushes as she gets a bandage from her cabinet.
Ace laughed deeply as she came back and ripped the bandage open. She tripped over his foot slightly but Ace caught her. He held her firm and Lia blushed from embarrassment. "Clumsy." Ace whistles making Lia huff and she securely placed the bandage on .
"Does it hurt?" She whispers as she still looks at the mark. Ace shook his head and Lia sighed. "Good , what happened ?" She asks as she backs away. Ace gets back up and walks to her room.
"I don't know ." He says . He didn't like to lie to her but he couldn't ever tell her who he was. "How about we watch a movie ?" Lia looked at him and sighed as she felt like he didn't trust her.
"Okay." She whispers as she starts scrolling through Netflix and picks her favorite movie , Turbo on. She sat down on the edge of her fluffy bed. Ace noticed she was sad and he sat next to her pulling her into his lap. "Uhh.."
"Just watch the movie and don't be sad. It pains me when you're sad." He whispers, wrapping a arm on her small waist. Lia only nodded her head slowly and got comfortable in his lap and watched the movie.

When it was the next day , Lia wore simple pants and a shirt. She was so happy. She made a friend and her mother gave her snacks to school.
When she saw Ace , she smiled . But it looked like he was talking to someone so she wanted to surprise him . She tipped toed to him and shook him. "Boo!" She yells as she giggles .
He flinched but turned back around with a eyebrow raised. Her eyes widened when she saw his lip busted. Her eyes wield up as she watched his lips.
"What happened?"
-
Ace looked at her with a soft smile before interlocking his hands with hers. "I just got into a little fight with my sister." Lia frowned slightly but nodded her head. She didn't know much about his family , maybe they were crazy."Okay! Well guess what Ace , I asked my mom to buy you something." She lets his hands go and she pulled a white box out of her bag. "Open it quickly." She demands as she she smiles up at him.Ace was hesitant before he opened it and saw a gold necklace. "Now we're matching see." She pulled out her necklace and showed it to him. The necklace hand a heart on it making Ace smile . He kissed her cheek and she blushed like always ."Thank you Lia." He said sincerely . He was too cherish this necklace to the day he dies. He puts the necklace on and then they start walking around the hallways.Ace had to tell Lia something important . He wasn't goi
The next day came along. It went well where Lia went to all her classes. Even though Ace hasn't arrived yet , she managed to get to her places.That all stopped until a skinny tall girl with brunette hair walks up to Lia with a killer look. "Like... what's your deal?" Lia stares at the tall girl with a confused look ."I-I'm sorry what?" The brunette laughed as she looked at her friends before looking back at Lia."Ace. Yeah stay away from him. He's my boyfriend." Lia blushes as looks down. She felt this pain in her chest because he didn't tell her that he was dating someone as beautiful as her."Oh? Okay then I'll stay away if that's what you." Lia felt that maybe the brunette which her name was Bethany thought that Lia was clingy .Bethany smirked as she walks away with her tall friends and Lia's smile soon fades as she starts walking to her next class. "Hey...
Ace noticed the girl sleeping and he smiled down at her. He picked her up with ease and she instantly clanged onto him tightly. His phone ranged slightly disturbing him but he picked it up. "What?" He says rudely in the phone."River wants to chat. Something about you killing his son or something?" His closes friend , Noah , exclaims.Ace smirked at the thought and he told him that he would be there in a hour. "Mm.. too loud shh." Lia mumbles as she holds onto his neck tighter. He smiled softly as he rubbed her back and they finally made it too his car. He was about to pull her to the passenger's seat when she groaned and shook her head."You don't want to sit in the seat Lia?" He asks softly and she nodded her head softly . "My lap then?" She has a bright smile on her face and nodded. Her cheeks flushed but she didn't mind it much.Luckily he brought his really big car so they would be able to fit.
Ace look at Bethany from afar and was truly disgusted by her. She sits there with her friends and laugh about nothing important; it only ticked Ace off more."So you want this girl beaten because she messed with your girlfriend?" Noah says with a cocky grin. Ace scowls at him and sends him a glare. "Oh you're serious! Well then I might have to meet this girlfriend of yours."Ace only smiled sarcastically at his friend. Though he didn't want any male to met Lia , he was okay with just Noah meeting her. "Look I don't want her dead. I'm no murder." Noah smirked at that and Ace only shook his head. "I just want to teach her a lesson to not mess with Lia or there will be consequences.""Oh ... oh so her name is Lia . That seems like a cute name." Noah smiles as he sparkles his eyes to Ace. He only looked at his friend with disgus
Ace.What's their to say about him? He was a psychopath or murderer or just a boy with a broken heart. Though he's been called worse , one thing he hasn't been called was bunny. That's until Lia calls him one. "A bunny? How?" He laughs as he takes a sip of his water.Right now the two were at a small cafe talking nonstop about anything . Never getting bored. "Yes a bunny! Your noes is really cute and ... and you're always frowning and bunnies frown so..." she trails off as she picks at her cake.Ace smiled at her before lifting her chin . "Alright then if you're gonna call me bunny then you have to let me call you princess." Lia looks up at him with a frown . Like before she didn't like to be called princess."I-I don't like it." She mumbles as she takes a spoon of cake into her mouth . Ace brought her it."Why not ?"
Lia frowned as she saw her grandmother appear. She didn't like her grandmother from her father's side because she always made Lia do things she didn't want to. Lilith, Lia's grandmother , always cared for Lia. After the kidnapping , Lilith made sure that she had bodyguards with her twenty four seven. But that's not the only reason why she disliked her . It was simply because she was mean and rude."Oh my baby!" Lilith cries out as she walks over to Lia with her arms out. Cradling Lia , the familiar perfume smell drowned her nose making Lia want to run away."Grandmother." She spat out as she hugged her and then soon departed. Once they did Lilith grabbed her chin roughly and forced her to look at her."Are you having fun at school?"Lia blushed as she shifted on her feet and she simply nodded her head. "Yes grandmother."
I guess she spoke too soon."Everyone welcome Sebastian Moore! He's come from London." Sebastian simply smiled at everyone and the girls instantly love him.In all truth , the guy was a bad boy who smokes in school! What's there to love about him? "Take your seat next to those boys over there." The teacher says and Sebastian did so.Lia shook her head as she looked back at the board. She was... uninterested. "Alright guys. So next week , we are taking a little trip to the Florence College. I know you're all most adults but I need some approval that'll it be okay for you to attend for the next weekend ."Lia's ears perked up. A whole weekend where she won't have to be with her grandmother? Lord knows Lilith won't be staying for just a few weeks. Possibly would be staying for at least two months!&n
Ace tapped his foot as he watched his gun. He needed to release some anger but Noah told him tonight wasn't the best night because of patrols. "Just why are you so angry man!""Because Noah! I told you I don't want no boy close to her ." Noah gave him a look before shaking his head and pouring him a class of water."Boss. Maybe you should just let her be and let her do what she wants to d-"I don't care what she fucking wants!" He yells as he stands up. He tugs his hair and Noah sighed.This wasn't the first time something like this happened. When Ace got stressed from work or school he would have this habit being mad at the world and doing things to annoy people . Mostly teachers. Though this was something new and it was because of a girl he personally had an affection for.He gobbled down the water and stood up . He needed to see
