Ace POV.I took her to the basement when we arrived home. I had drugged her so that means that I have tomorrow hours before she wakes up. After tying her up, I walked back to the mansion. They were all shocked to see me. I guess they expected me not to be back very soon."What are you doing here?" Mom asked."Aren't you supposed to be on a mission?" Dad asked and I nodded my head."Yes, I am. We already went," I answered."But how fast?" Mark asked."When we got there, the hostages were nowhere to be seen," I said."Are you sure that you were given the right location?" Abigail asked."Yes, there were signs of hostages in the basement," I said."Then who informed them that you were going to rescue them?" Mom asked, seeming to be thinking. I knew for a fact that they think that we have a mole in our family."Adrianna is working for Elijah," I said after a few minutes of silence."What!" Abigail and Mark shouted."Son, are you sure about that?" Dad asked."I met her there. We know that w
Ace POV."Chip.""Chip.""Chip.""Chip," she said while looking at the window which was high enough so she couldn't reach for it. I followed her gaze and saw there was a little bird. As if it knew age was trying to communicate with her, it flew to her and landed on her shoulder. I shook my head while I saw what I was looking in front of me."Good my friend. At least I won't be lonely again with you beside me," she said as It landed on my shoulder. "Too bad, I suck at naming things but you are my little birdie," she said and I internally chuckled. Deciding to pay attention to what has brought me here in the first place, I stabbed her upper part of the thigh but she did not winder in pain or even look at me."Adrianna, I am asking you a question!" I whispered-yelled but still I received silence as the answer.Maybe if I took the little bird from her, she would pay attention to me and give me the answers I want. I walked close to her so that I could take it away, but the bird decided t
Ace POV.I walked back to the dining room and started eating. I was aware that they were all looking at me but at this time, I did not care at all."Has she agreed to eat?" Mom asked."No, the food is scattered on the cell's floor," I answered cause I knew there was no way, I was going to escape mom's questions."I really can't blame her though. With your arrogance," Abigail said."I don't care what you think or not. She is an enemy so I will treat her as one," I told them and they looked shocked.Mom had high expectations that I will end up with Adrianna after what she witnessed on the charity ball but a real disappointment doesn't hurt right?Looking at the food with zero interest in not eating since I have lost my appetite, I played with the food. Mixing food pretending to eat it but who could I fool? Everyone here is a grown up and can see through me. Yes, I was hurt. Having high expectations of something or someone always makes one easily get hurt. From the corner of the eye, I s
Ace POV."I don't trust you," I said. "Give me five minutes to talk to her. You can also be present.""Fine, lead the way. Just know one stupid mistake, you are dead," it said and I nodded my head.I stood and walked to the basement. I opened her cell on arrival and she looked up. As much as I wanted her to notice my presence, I saw her looking past me and a smile on her face."What did you do?" It sneered."As you can see, he hurt me," she said with a grin on her face."I can see that Adrianna, all of his men who were guiding the perimeter are already dead. Ivy gave that order cause she knew he had hurt you," it explained."Fantastic but at least you could have left me some little fun," she pouted."Come on, there will be next time," It said and she nodded her head happily."I want to make an offer with you," I said."And what makes you think that we will agree with you?" It said,"If she doesn't then I won't have a choice but to kill her in your presence," I said."You kill her, I k
Adrianna POV.I looked at the room. It was huge but not my room back in my penthouse. I really want to kill them. Who do they think they are?Why did I stab him? Because he was really annoying.I really hate annoying people.I stabbed him the second time to show his family that I don't care what they think or feel. I was in worse pain but they could only see their son. But what did he do to me? To think that I wanted him to fuck me disgusts me. The love and worry I saw in his parents' eyes made me jealous. How I wish I had parents to love me and protect me. Enough with the thoughts.Where is the first aid kit? I forgot to ask him that. I started searching for it and after some minutes, I found it on the top cabinet in the washroom. I cleaned my wounds, treated them and then bandaged them. I walked to the shower so that I could get rid of this awful smell. I really didn't have any clothes or belongings, so I will go shopping tomorrow. As I walked out of the shower with a towel around m
Adrianna POV.I ate silently while Maria washed the dishes. I was trying my best to eat faster so that she can also wash the dishes I am using."Is Miss Adrianna here?" I heard a voice ask for me and I got off the counter. I walked to the living room and saw Ace talking to a man. I have seen him countless times in the company where both Ivy and I buy our electronics."Just back off," I shouted at Ace who had not yet acknowledged my presence. This seems to shock him but nonetheless did want I said."Where is my stuff?" I asked coldly."Ma'am there is the car," the man answered but he was afraid of me."So? Do you expect me to go and carry them inside?" I asked annoyedly."No ma'am. I was just…" I interrupted him."Just go and bring me my orders, you prick if you don't want me to tell your boss about your poor services," I said and he stepped back."Adrianna dear, you are making him afraid," Maria said."As it should be," I said but it came out more closely than I intended it to. I hear
Ace POV.We were just sitting watching what she was doing. After what she did to me, mom believed that I made a mistake by telling her to stay in our house. Abigail has been nice to her even to give her some outfits to wear. We were all shocked to hear her talking and laughing with Maria about the same lame jokes. I came to understand that she is not arrogant and rude to everyone. With how she laughed with the lady who brought her clothes and how rude she was with the guy who brought the electronics just proved me wrong. It made me wonder what was so special about the people she was talking and laughing freely with. The amount of clothes she ordered told us that she was so rich. After Paul searched, we found out that Victor, their dad, was a multi billionaire and he left all his money to them. The fact that Ivy and Adrianna were already billionaires, this made them to be more rich. With the way the both carry themselves, no one can guess they are richer than the Italian Mafia leader.
Adrianna POV.It has been months since I started living with Ace and his family. When I remember how they were always afraid of me, I chuckle. In those months, I haven't stopped assassinating. At the beginning, Ace would always ask me where I was but when I told him it was none of his business multiple times and we weren't friends, he backed off. I feel bad for doing that but it was necessary. I have been spending most of my time with Ivan. That kid is so adorable. His birthday is in a few months and I am planning to gift him what he asked for. I am lying on my bed watching The Originals on the tv. I really love this series. It is one of a kind. Most people prefer Klaus, but I prefer Elijah. Like that man got decency, he feeds then wipes of the blood. He is also calm in every situation even before attacking someone. He is unpredictable. I had my snacks with me since I knew that I would be getting out of this room at dinner time. I have nowhere to go so I better spend it here. After
