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.

Ace De Santis

She stood on the stairs, looking beautiful as always and whispered something to my sister to which she chuckled in return. I raised an eyebrow at them in a questioning way.

Alex was right. Arielle literally hates girls. She never spoke to them. If she is speaking to Alexia and hugging her, i have a feeling i might not like this friendship.

"Alexia," My dad voice got her attention, "Welcome. Feel at home." She smiled and thanked him.

"There's food in the kitchen dear." My mom said earning a nod from her as she went in the kitchen with Arielle.

"Brother." Alex poked me in the arm earning a glare from me. "What?"

He smirked as i raised an eyebrow at him, "Why were you staring at her?"

"I wasn't staring at her." I denied his true statement.

"You were."

"I wasn't."

"Sureeee—", He trailed off as i continued ignoring him. I wondered what is going on in the kitchen right now. Why not see for myself?

"I'm gonna go get a glass of water." I said and went in the kitchen only to see Alexia sitting on the kitchen counter as she and Arielle talked. She smiled at something she said.

Her smile was so contagious that i found myself smiling at her. Once i realised what i was doing, i got rid of the smile and cleared my throat earning their attention.

"Someone's drooling." Arielle chuckled as i rolled my eyes while Alexia glared at her then snapped her gaze on me. "Want something?" She asked.

"Are we out of chairs?", I asked gesturing to the kitchen counter she was sitting on.

"No. The kitchen counter is more comfortable." she shrugged.

"I'll be right back." Arielle quickly said and left. Once she did, I walked to Alexia, placed my hands on her thighs as i opened them and stood in between.

"Wh-what are you doing?" She stuttured making me smirk knowing the effect i have on her.

Alexia Skylar Hale

"Wh-what are you doing?" I stuttered.

What the fuck. Since when do I stutter? What the hell is happening to me? I

I looked at Ace and saw a giant smirk formed on him. Fucking bastard.

"Nothing, Amore", He replied smirking and stepped closer to me.

"Ace." I said. My voice couldn't even be heard. What the hell is he doing to me?

"Yes, Amore?" He whispered to me as his hands traced up and down on my thighs.

Holy fuck. What is this man doing to me? I've never been turned on by a man just by being close to me. And right now, I am. I'm turned on.

"Am I interrupting anything?" Arielle said with an eyebrow raised. Ace quickly stepped away from me. I mentally thanked Arielle for interrupting us.

"No. We were just talking." Ace smirked and winked at me.

"Talking sure-", She rolled her eyes, "Anyway, let's go shopping for your dress tonight. Remember, the party?"

"Fuck no." I quickly said, "I hate shopping and I already have the dress." Ace smiled at me

"Oh my god!", Arielle screamed. "You passed!"

I could hear Ace mutter something under his breath but couldn't figure out what.

"Passed what?" I asked confused.

"The test!", she started, "I wanted to know whether you love shopping or hate it. And you hate it, like me. We are really going to be best friends!" She ended excitedly.

This girl is crazy.

"You really didn't need to yell." I stated earning a laugh from her as she yelled again. "I know!"

"Jesus." I sighed.

"Be ready by 6. Don't be late, Amore." Ace said and left the kitchen.

"What was that?", Arielle asked raising her eyebrows

"What was what?"

"that Amore and that little scene of you two almost kissing?", She asked.

"That was nothing. We were just talking. Anyway, gotta go get ready.", i said and jumped off the kitchen counter, avoiding Arielle's gaze.

"Okay! Im downstairs if you need help with anything." She yelled

I heard her but i didn't bother to reply. I passed by the living room first, told The De Santis family that I'm going to get ready and went to my room.

I wore a black dress, long enough to cover my thighs which had Knives around it and a gun behind my back. Always gotta be armed. We don't know what's going to happen at that party.

I let my hair fall on my back then looked at myself in the mirror. Once i was sure i looked good, i headed downstairs where Ace was waiting. The second he saw me, his eyes roamed around my body and so did mine. He looked hot.

********************************************

Ace De Santis

Once she was downstairs, i couldn't help but let me eyes roam around her perfect body. That dress hugged her perfectly, showing her curves. She looked absolutely breathtaking.

Breaking my eyes from her body to the eyes, i smiled at her. "Ready?"

She smiled back and said "Always."

"Good," i smirked, "Let's go." With that, we both headed to my car.

"Won't open the door for me?" She asked while standing infront of the door.

I shook my head my her behaviour, "Something wrong with your hands?" I asked and sat in the driver's seat after she opened the door herself and got inside.

Once i was in, she looked at me and rolled her eyes before muttering 'Asshole.'

"Language." I warned glaring at her then turned my gaze back on the road.

The ride to the party was a silent one. We reached the address written on the invitation in a matter of minutes.

After parking the car, Alexia and I went inside.

Alexia Skylar Hale

Once inside, we found a seat at the back where it was a little quiet. I noticed a group of men eye fucking me from the corner of my eyes. I turned and giving them a death glare making them stop.

Smiling in victory, i turned back only to see Ace watching strippers. I rolled my eyes at him. "What now?"

"Now," he snapped his gaze away from the strippers to me, "we wait."

"Ace De Santis and Alexia Hale?", An unfamiliar voice asked, We both turned and was met with a waitress. We gave her nod, "Please follow me." She continued and started walking towards a room with Ace and I behind her.

"He's in there." The waitress said and left. I looked at Ace whose gaze was fixed on the door. He sigh and opened it.

"Oh my—", I breathed earning everyone's attention. I don't know for Ace but i was not prepared to see this.

A man was lying naked while a woman sucked his dick. Ew. Gross.

"Leave." The man said in a cold voice to woman who was pleasuring him. She quickly stood up and ran to another room.

"That's awkward." I murmured to Ace. "I second that." He replied.

"Ace De Santis." He grinned at Ace as he wore his robe before lighting his cigarette. "Alexia Hale." He smirked.

"What the fuck do you want?", I hissed angrily.

"I'm Mason. mason Horax." He presented himself with a smile, showing his yellow teeth.

"Get to point," Ace stated, "We're not here to fuck around." He continued, removing his gun from his waistband and pointed it at Mason.

"Ace. Ace. Ace," Mason chuckled, "Do you really think Im defenseless right now?"

"What the fuck do you want from us?", Ace asked through gritted teeth.

"Revenge. I want revenge!", Mason replied with a clenched fist.

"Revenge?" I asked.

"Yes," He started, "—A few years ago, you killed a man. That man was my friend. My best friend. Now, you shall pay for his death.", He ended as his eyes were clouded with anger.

"Listen man," Ace said, "You've got to be more precise here. I've killed a lot of men. The name of your friend would really help in this matter."

"Oliver. Oliver ricci. It was a mission you two were on together. And you fucking killed him." Mason hissed in anger, throwing a glass on the floor.

My eyes widened and a smile almost broke out on my face. I turned to Ace and smiled. "Hear that, Ace?", i asked, "Oliver ricci."

Oliver Ricci was the man who Ace killed when we were on that mission together. The one we fought over but he ended up killing him and now, we are in this situation because of him.

Ace glared at me while i continued smiling at him. "Yeah we killed him. I killed him. He was messing with mine and The Hale's shipment. He was stealing our shits. So, he had to go." He ended with a shrug.

"Now, You have to go." Mason grinned pointing his gun at Ace.

"You know—", Ace started, "Killing me means you'll have the whole Italian Mafia after you, right?"

"I don't fucking care. At least I'm doing my job.", Mason said furiously. My eyes widened as i heard his answer.

"What do you mean 'your job'?", I asked, pointing my gun at him while his gun was till pointed at Ace.
