Haze took me to a building, similar to Ace's. "Our mafia is called the Vipers, specifically because we're all quiet, fast and sneaky. It's okay if you're not perfect at everything first time around, you'll get there eventually" he explained positively as he showed me around. He showed me the room where they spar boxing, throw knives, shoot and they also did pain tolerance tests."I'm not much good at fighting" I admitted shyly as we walked around. "That's fine, you'll probably exceed at everything else" he smiled at me, making me feel better about this whole situation. I was basically thrown out from one Mafia into another within two days."Is that why Ace wouldn't place you onto the fighting squad?" Haze raised his eyebrow at me. "Yeah, I think so" I lied while staring at the floor."This is Nina, she'll be showing you to your room" Haze introduced me to a tall, dark skinned girl with tight curly hair that rested just above her shoulders. She looked really intimidating but was actual

I followed Haze to a bathroom."Tell me why you can't feel that" Haze glared at me, knowing I was hiding something. "I don't know.... it just doesn't hurt" I tried to play it off and lie to him. I clenched my hands nervously. He grabbed them and I swear, just for a second, Haze was Ace. I stepped back in fear, clearly showing my distress.He stared at me confusedly. "Bad memory?" Haze questioned me while soaking a cloth in warm water. "Yeah" i shook my head, trying to shake away my feelings for Ace along with it.Haze grabbed my wrist and pulled me close to him. He stared at me straight in the eye, which was pretty intense, not gonna lie. "You always look hurt" Haze admitted to me, noticing how every so often I'd be caught off guard, thinking about Ace. "N-no" I stuttered and then immediately after wanting to face palm myself."Tell me what's on your mind" Haze asked with a soft and gentle tone. I sighed, giving up, he was going to find out eventually. If I was going to be killed, it

About an hour had passed and the group reassembled."This is the pain test or the pain simulation" Haze announced to everyone. "It simulates pain such as punches, kicks, getting shot and stabbed etc." Haze rambled on."Up first, Sofia" Haze announced but then instantly stared at me confusedly. "No" he grabbed my wrist, stopping me from going into the room and lying on the bed."Boss, it's a crucial part of the tests" the doctor who sat by the bed announced. Haze sighed before releasing my wrist. "Don't grab me like that again" I glared at Haze who just blinked at me.I lay on the bed/chair type thing with the doctor placed sticky pads on me. "Now you need to remember that this is fake, you're not actually being stabbed or shot" the doctor reminded me as I nodded in response.He started the simulations. At first I couldn't feel anything. I started to feel pain around 5 minutes in. Haze watched anxiously as I just sat there but then suddenly the pain went from about a 2 out of 10 to abo

I had woken up in Haze's arms which was quite nice to be honest. I think I like Haze as a person. He's a good guy and he doesn't want to hurt me. I stood up and realised that Haze had ripped my underwear off. I rolled my eyes with a smirk on my face before putting on a pair of his boxers.I didn't really feel anything for Haze though. I felt guilty because he was a really nice guy and not to mention his sister."You look good in my underwear" he groaned whilst stretching. "Thanks" I climbed back in beside him. "I know it's a bit sudden and maybe very fast but do you wanna be my girlfriend?" He asked running his hand down the side of my body. Oh shit, I should probably should probably say no but I need to move on with my life. I nodded hesitantly. A smile appeared on his face as he relax into the bed after his stretch."How do I have the prettiest girl in the world lying in my bed?" he gushed. "Shut up" I rolled my eyes, shoving his shoulder playfully before he pulled me in, pecking my

"I'm actually shit at shooting" I whispered to him with a smirk. "Don't worry, let your awesome boyfriend show you how it's done" he glanced at me with a cheeky smile on his face before he threw me over his shoulder, making me shriek. "Haze" I yelled, dangling in the air.He walked over to the shooting range, everyone was staring at him carrying me. There's Nina, this is going to be awkward."I didn't know you guys were going public now" Nina winked at me. I squirmed on Haze's shoulder before he finally put me down. I playfully slapped his shoulder while shooting him a scowl. He turned to me before chasing me around the hall. I laughed as I swerved around groups trying not to hit them.Haze caught my wrist and pulled me into him. I was panting from running and he was staring at me. "I think your stamina needs a bit of work" He teased grabbing my chin with his hand, making me look at him. "Can you carry me?" I pouted at him. "You want me to carry you even though a few minutes ago you h

Ace's POVMy fist collided with the punching bag; All you could hear was the thud of my fist against the bag, echoing throughout the room. This is how I decided to release my anger when I was younger. Having the weight of the world on your shoulders is exhausting, mentally and physically.Not to mention the fact that I never sleep.I sat on the floor, taking a sip from my water bottle. "She's not dead" Dante announced as he strutted in with an unimpressed look on his face. "What?" I questioned confused, already worked up from my workout session. "Sofia, she's not dead, if anything she's very much alive" Dante grumbled before he handed me some pictures.She was standing on a balcony and she seemed to be upset. But then....... in the second one, Haze had his arms around her and she was leaning into him. "How...." I was speechless, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Finally, in the last photo, she was asleep in his arms. She had done it, she had left and wasn't looking back; She was h

I stood outside in the freezing cold, shivering uncontrollably because I'd rather be out here than surrounded by the evil men in there.I was being overwhelmed my thoughts; they weren't making my decision any easier.I can't hurt Haze. I don't want to hurt him like the way Ace hurt me so for that reason I'm choosing Haze.Ace is toxic. He's broken and damaged, impulsive and reckless, selfish and cruel. I don't even have one bad thing to say about Haze. He is a good guy.He's the right guy and he's the safe option.I stared up at the stars that shined so brightly above me. The stars were so beautiful. It was nights like these that made me want to live. I felt cold air move in and out of my lungs, it felt almost therapeutic to appreciate for just a moment that I was alive.It's a lot. Everything's a lot.Then, without warning, I felt someone grab the back of my neck roughly. "The Vipers" someone hissed making my heart pound. I saw my father's hand and I immediately whimpered in pain; I

I woke up to Ace sleeping next to me. It wasn't a dream.This was a rare moment, I'd never really seen him sleep. I watched him for a moment, only for him to mumble something and stir around in his sleep. He had little droplets on his forehead; I assume it was because it was too hot but it was also weird because he didn't look peaceful, apart of me wanting to wake him up."Ace" I poked his big, muscular shoulder cautiously. He let out a snore making me smile. He wasn't wearing a shirt, well he never does because he's usually always warm in bed and the shirt just doesn't help. I think he does it on purpose.As I was lost in thought, Ace shot up, staring around the room frantically. I was freaking out watching him just scan the room vigorously for something. His eyes connected with mine."You're okay, it was only a dream" I tried to calm him down; He was really paranoid. I grabbed his face gently, making him look at me. "I've got you" I reassured him while sweat dripped from his forehea
