Alexia Skylar Hale

After that little scene yesterday with my sister, Ace, his father and everyone else, things have been pretty quiet. For me.

They made a decision, my very own father and Ace's father, that I will be moving to Ace's house and will work with him. I didn't have a say.

Although, my answer would be no. I'd never want to work with Ace again. That man annoys the shit out of me even though he is fucking good looking.

"Alexia." My dad snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I asked

"You'll be leaving in a few minutes. Are you ready?" He asked.

Yeah, I'm leaving in a few minutes. To be honest, I love my dad but sometimes, his decisions sucks.

"Yes, dad. Everything's packed. Mom helped me last night. Is this really necessary? I can protect myself and protect you all. Why do I need to go?", I sighed.

It was the truth. Im a fucking assassin. I can very well protect myself and my family.

"Yes it is necessary. Alexia, I know you don't like him but at least, try to keep your differences apart and work with him until we've found whoever is messing with both of our families." My dad explained as he placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Fine." I sigh as my mom entered.

"Alexia. Be safe, ok?", My mom said, enveloping me in her arms.

"Aren't I always?", I said sarcastically.

"Sir. A black SUV is here.", A guard said to my father earning a sigh from me.

I guess this is where i go to Ace's house. Im going to unleash hell on that man.

"Bye, daughter. Call. Everyday.", my dad said sternly as I took my suitcase and placed it in the car.

"Will do. Call me if anything is wrong. LIKE ANYTHING." I said in the same tone as my dad. After hugging both of them, i went inside the car.

"Bye!" They yelled as I waved at them.

Here I come, Ace. Here I come.

After a good 20 minutes of road, the car finally stopped. I tried talking with the driver but he stayed quiet. Shy assholes.

I got out of the car and stood infront of a huge mansion. It was beautiful and bigger than mine.

"Welcome. You're probably thinking if this is Mr De Santis home but it's not. It's Mr De Santis's yes but all member, everyone who works with Mr De Santis stays in here. They are like his other family. So, welcome." The driver said in a serious tone.

"I thought you didn't know how to talk." I scoffed.

"I apologise. Mr De Santis told me not to talk to you and tell you everything I told you when you got here." He held an apologetic face.

Of course, he did.

I nodded and went inside. Opening the door, i saw men walking around. Some were shirtless on the couch watching TV.

"Well, well, well," A unknown voice said behind me. Turning around, i was met with a man. He was hot, i give you that. But not as hot as Ace.

My eyes widened as i realised i just compared a random guy to Ace. What the fuck is wrong with me?

"Hello, gorgeous." He smirked.

"Hello," I replied, keeping a neutral face as I looked around the house

"What's a beautiful girl like you doing here?", He questioned, grinning.

I decided to ignore him and starting walking pass him only for him to grab me and made me stood infront of him.

Wrong move, fucker.

I glared at him as he smirked, "I asked you a question, sweetheart."

"Fuck off." I said in a loud tone that gained everyone's attention. I looked around me only to find all of them staring at the scene.

Might as well give them something to look at. With that thought, a smirk made it's way on my face.

"Didn't your mommy teach you that you shouldn't touch a woman without her permission?" I asked, grabbing the hand that touched me and broke it.

He yelled in pain and held his broken hand. "Fucking hell! You broke my hand. What the fuck you bitch!"

I laughed at him. "How can a man like you yell like a little girl?"

"I'll kill you!" He yelled as his eyes darkened and threw a punch at me which i dodged. That only seemed to make him angrier.

I sighed. "Okay, you asked for it." punched him as he fell on the ground. Smirking at this bleeding nose, I kneeled infront of him . "—Now, that wasn't a way to treat a lady now, was it?"

Eyeing everyone in the room, i asked "Who's next?"

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?" A familiar deep voice boomed from upstairs.

I looked up at him and gave him a fake smile. "Well, Ace, you see—", i started, "Your little bitch here wanted to act like the little bitch that he is and he pissed me off while doing so." I shrugged and made my way to the couch.

"And as you can see—" I continued once i made myself comfortable on the couch. "Pissing me off has it's consequences." I ended eyeing the man whose nose i just broke.

"Alexia." No one has ever pronounced my name as perfectly as he just did.

Okay what is wrong with me?

He started walking towards me and soon, he was standing infront of me.

God took his time with him.

"Hmm?" I hummed as i let my eyes roam around his body. He has the most beautiful eyes i've ever seen before.

"Get up." He ordered as i snapped my gaze back on him.

"Excuse me?", I scoffed in annoyance.

"—Now why would i do that? No but have you ever sit on this thing? It's comfortable as fuck."

He groaned. "Everyone get your asses in the meeting room. Now." And as they were told, they all stood up and rushed to wherever the meeting room was.

I looked at him only to find him staring at me. I cleared my throat hoping to earn his attention which i succeeded. "You too." He said with an eye roll and headed towards the meeting room without waiting for a reply.

I'm working with not for him and I'll make sure he understand what the fuck that means cause he clearly is having a small misunderstanding.

My curiousity got the best of me and decided to go to that meeting. As soon as i entered the room, all eyes were on me.

"Do you guys want a picture?", I asked irritated by their stares and made my way to the chair next to Ace.

"This seat is for the underboss." A guy sitting infront of me said.

"And i should care, why?", I raised an eyebrow.

"He is sick. He won't be attending so, she can sit here." Ace said to everyone in the room.

"Why did you call for a meeting, don?" The guy whose nose I broke earlier asked. I could barely contain myself from smiling at my art.

"Are you questioning me?", Ace asked in a serious tone.

"N-no. I'm s-sorry." He stuttered making it hard for me not to laugh. I bit my cheek to contain the laughter but i couldn't help the smile making it's way on my face.

Ace looked at me raising an eyebrow. "What's funny, Amore?"

Amore, really?

Rolling my eyes at his nickname, i muttered a 'Nothing' as i smirked at the guy whose nose i broke.

As he realised i was making fun of him, he glared at me. "Bitch." He yelled.

"Really? Well, I wasn't the one crying on the floor a few minutes ago." I stated looking right back at him.

Before the guy could answer, Ace took out his gun and shot the guy in his head.

"Anyone else got something to say?" He asked earning complere silence.

"So, as I was saying—", he placed his gun on the table infront of him, "Meet Alexia Hale. Some might know her as the ghost. She'll be working with us for a while. Any questions?" He ended as he looked at me while everyone muttered a 'No boss.'

"You're all dismissed." He ordered and everyone was out of the room.

"So, I'll be staying here?", I asked.

"No. Sometimes, yes but most of the time, you'll be at my house." He replied.

"Okay." I sighed and left the room.

Ace De Santis

I was in my office upstairs when I heard a particular voice from downstairs. I'd recognise that voice anywhere.

"Didn't your mommy teach you that you shouodnt touch a woman without her permission?" I heard her say in annoyed angry tone.

I knew it. I fucking knew it. I knew that the moment she was to enter here, one of those fuckers downstairs would try something.

Standing up from the chair, i walked outside and leaned on the rails as i watched the scene downstairs. Alexia punched the guy and he fell on the ground.

I shook my head in disappointment at the man who was on the ground. Even while being twice her size, she managed to take him down. But then again, i can't blame the man here. Alexia is an assassin and very good at her job, might i add.

She was a hot, beautiful, attractive woman and and I knew all of the guys in here wanted her by the way they were looking at her.

Having enough of the scene, i interrupted their little scene. "What the fuck is going on here?", I asked, still leaning on the rails.

I didn't want this to end up in a bloodbath. If anyone was to kill that asshole who touched a woman without her fucking permission, that person is going to be me because everyone here knows we don't do that kind of shit here.

Once Alexia saw me, she looked up at me and gave me a fake smile. "Well, Ace, you see—", she started, "Your little bitch here wanted to act like the little bitch that he is and he pissed me off while doing so." She said with a shrug and made her way to the couch.

"And as you can see—" she continued once she made myself comfortable on the couch. "Pissing me off has it's consequences." She ended eyeing the man whose nose she just broke.

"Alexia." I said, walking down the stairs and stood infront of her.

That woman is a goddess.

"Hmm?", She looked at me.

"Get up." I ordered.

"—Now why would i do that? No but have you ever sit on this thing? It's comfortable as fuck." she replied with a smile.

I hated the fact that i am not doing anything to her after she just talked back at me. I don't usually allow that but by the looks of it, i do now. It's useless anyway. Knowing Alexia, she will probably just find another comeback and throw at me. We will end up killing each other so, being the mature one, i let it slide.

'Keep telling yourself that, Ace.' my subconscious told me.

"Everyone get your asses in the meeting room. Now!", I ordered and snapped my gaze back on Alexia, "You too." With that, i made my way to the meeting room where everyone was already waiting for me in their seats. Once i took my seat, Alexia finally decided to grace us with her presence.

She stood infront of the door, inspecting the room and entered. I noticed her walking towards me and soon realised there was an empty seat here.

This seat is for the underboss, my second in hand but as he was sick, he couldn't make it.

The meeting was dismissed after I presented Alexia to everyone and killed that asshole who touched her earlier. I was not going to kill him, maybe punish him but not kill him. Now, i was already half angry at him and the anger became a whole one the second he questioned me.

He asked for death and i delivered.

Alexia Skylar Hale

After the boring meeting, i decided to explore the house a little. During my little exploration, i met some cool guys and some horny motherfuckers whose sole intention was getting into my pants.

Not looking where im heading to, i bumped into a wall and heard a groan. I was pretty sure a wall can't talk until i realised it wasn't a wall. Looking up, i was met with an unknown guy.

"Im sorry." I apologized smiling slightly.

"It's alright," he smiled at me, "You're Alexia, right?"

"Yeah," i replied and nod, "And you are?"

"I'm Alexander. You can call me Alex," He started, "Ace's younger brother. Can you see the resemblance?" He pointed to himself.

"I can see the resemblance." I smiled at him. "Nice to meet you, Alex. I didn't know Ace had a brother."

I really didn't know. Even if im meeting Alex for the first time, i could tell he is nothing like Ace. Ace is cold, emotionless and serious most of the time. While Alex seemed a chill dude, he seemed cool.

"Well Alexia," He snapped me out of my thoughts, "See you at home later!" He waved at me and soon disappeared.

"Let's go." A demanding voice said from behind me. I jumped because of the voice and turned around to see the culprit.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?", I groaned, "Do you wanna kill me or something?" I asked earning a smirk from him.

"Nevermind. I already know the answer to that," i said with an eye roll, "Where are we going?"

"Home." He simply stated as he turned his back on me. "And control that beautiful mouth of yours."

My eyes widened, realising he just told me to control my beautiful mouth.

"You coming or what?" He broke me out of my thoughts. I muttered an 'I am' and quickly joined him as he walked to his car. We drove to his house in an uncomfortable silence.

Once we arrived, i gawked at his house. It was even more huge and beautiful. Noticing Ace walking towards the house, i joined him and he opened the door.

We were greeted by a very pretty woman. "Hello!"

"Hello." I smiled at her.

"You must be Alexia," she smiled back, "I'm Grace. Grace De Santis." I realised this woman standing infront of me is his mother. Now i see where Ace got his eyes from.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs De Santis."

"Please dear, call me Grace." She insisted earning a nod from me.

"Okay, Grace, Can you show me where the bathroom is?", I asked earning a chuckle from her. "Of course, dear. Come with me, I'll show your room. There's your bathroom in too."

"I'll be in my room" Ace stated and went upstairs as i followed Grace. We soon stopped infront of door. Once she opened it, my eyes widened at the beautiful room im currently in.

"Thanks." I gave her an appreciative smile which she quickly returned. "Anytime dear. When you're done, come downstairs to eat something. You must be starving." She said.

"I will," i replied, "Im just going to take a quick shower and be downstairs in a few." She nodded and left the room.

Grace seemed sweet. im sure we'll get along very well. I thought to myself and went in the bathroom.

when i was done, i changed into a black shirt, a pair of white shorts as i let my hair fall on my back and went downstairs.

I was met with Ace, his dad, mom, brother and a girl whom i did not recognize. Once they realised i was standing their, they smiled at me. Except Ace of course.

"Finally we meet!" The girl jumped from the couch, running towards me when i took a step back. She hugged me and i just patted her back in return.

"I'm Arielle. Arielle De Santis.", She said once she broke the hug.

"I'm Alexia."

"I know!", she grinned, "You're a legend."

"We are going to be best friends!", she yelled and brought me into a hug again.

I've never had a best friend before because well, the girls were too girly. If you know what i mean. But Arielle didn't have that vibe. Maybe i could try.

"Okay!", Alex interrupted us, "Arielle De Santis hugging and talking to a girl? That's news."

"Shut the fuck up, Alex." Arielle said and glared at him. I smiled at her and whispered, "Yeah, we're gonna be best friends." She shook her head with a chuckle.
