Chapter 18: Chapter 18

Ace POV.

"Ace, you have to get that girl on our side," mom said.

"She is right. Befriend them. We need to make an alliance with them," dad said.

"Paul, you claim that you are a computer expert. Can you come up with such weapons?" Mark said while laughing.

"Shut up. I am still trying to process what I have just witnessed," he said, making us chuckle at his stupidity.

"Ace, how do you know the girl?" Lorenzo asked.

The three of our mafia are allies so we help each other in times of need.

"Apparently, I met her beating one of my club's managers," I said.

"Then what happened? She is feisty so I am sure something happened when you walked in," James said.

"Of course, she threw daggers at us to distract us from catching her. She knew I was the Italian Mafia don immediately she saw me," I said.

"Obviously she knew since it seems to be part of a certain mafia," Lorenzo said.

"She is dangerous. They hacked into our systems," Paul said.

"What! If they manage to hack into your system and you are one of the best, that means they can hack any mafia system," Lorenzo said.

"She has. I know she has," I told them.

"How?" James asked.

"If their system knows which tattoo belongs to which mafia, which cars, the leaders, their wives and children, you think that they haven't?" I asked and they all kept quiet.

"We need them on our side as soon as possible. Maybe she can help us defeat Elijah," James said.

"Yes, she is the key. I will keep looking for her," I said.

"Let us call it a night," dad said and we nodded our heads.

"Wait, what will happen to the others?"Abigail asked.

"Let them be, when the drug wears out, they will go back to their homes," Mike told her.

"I am still pleased with them. They managed to deal with the threat without hurting the innocent or anyone who wasn't Scott's wife," James said.

"Maybe they have had a higher training," Lorenzo said.

"I just wonder how they knew some of the kids," Bob said. He has been silent.

"Maybe they always visited them," mom said.

"Yes, maybe," Bob said.

"They seem to have a good heart and caring but at the same time, the way they talk, carry themselves with a lot of confidence, their tactics betray their innocent and caring looks," Lorenzo's wife said.

"I was shocked when Adrianna called the man, what is his name again, aaah, yes, Victor dad," James' wife said.

"I know. Like she had threatened her own dad when he reprimanded her sister," mom said.

"Not just that, when she threatened him, he wasn't shocked. It was as if he knew it could happen but at the same time he looked afraid," Abigail said.

"Maybe he was once taught a lesson when he did that," Lucia, Lorenzo's sister said.

"To me, what I admire the most is her torturing tactics. They claim Ace is the worst but after seeing her, she has definitely taken the title," Mark said.

"I don't think so, have you ever seen a body tortured by The Poison?" Lucia asked.

"The most feared assassin?" Mark asked and Lucia nodded her head.

"The man tortures someone. I one day hired him and requested that the body be delivered to me. It didn't take more than 24 hours before I had the body. It was tortured in the worst way possible," Lorenzo said.

"I remember I vomited upon seeing the body," his wife said.

"I have heard of what she does but I have never seen any," Mark said.

"Then you should ask your brother to give him a job and request the body to be delivered and you will see for yourself," Lucia said and I shook my head.

"He has done some work for me and I have never been disappointed. He tracks down someone very fast. I had a traitor in my mafia and I had been searching for him for seven months. My second in command then suggested that we hire him. After six hours, I was called and informed that the job was done," James said.

"Ace, don't tell me that you have never given her a job!" Mark said.

"Who do you think tracks down and sometimes kills the traitors who ran away?" I asked him.

"Ooh and how come I have never had the praises from you?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.

"I started giving him the job even before he was famous, son. So when Ace took over, he already knew who works for us and we had already gotten used to her tactics," dad answered him.

"I once called her secretary and she told me that he has some work to do so he would be able to tend to me as soon as possible when I inquired and even promised to pay her double the amount if she did the job right away and do the other after. She told me that he works with loyalty and has to pledge her loyalty to whoever made him to become successful. Afterwards, Alex informed me that the enemy was killed by The Poison. Now I understand," James said and dad just nodded his head.

"Come on kids, let's live before the others wake up and start bombarding us with questions," he said.

"Maybe you seem to forget that we came in their car," James said.

"I now agree with Adrianna that you are all fools. How couldn't you see that has never happened before? Anyways my men are out here with their cars, they will escort you to the hotels you are starting in," I said.

"Did Adrianna also come with her car?" Mom asked.

"'I am my own boss. I never follow orders' that's what she said. Yes, she actually came with a white Lamborghini," I said.

"While you came with a white Ferrari," Abigail chimed in immediately.

"Are you sure both of you had not planned that?" Lorenzo said.

"Nope. Don has been trying to track her down with no success for the last two weeks," Bob said.

"Actually she knows where we have gone thinking she is there and who we have called," I said.

"What!" Mark, Lucia, Mike and Abigail yelled.

"But how?" Dad asked.

"She said that she doesn't have an insider from our mafia. Apparently, Ivy is one of the best so she can easily hack any security system, do what she wants and leave without the owners noticing that it was hacked. Don't worry, she said that our confident information is safe. They didn't take anything," I explained.

"And you trust her?" Mom asked.

"Someone who tries killing you?" James asked.

"Unfortunately, I do. She said the only information they have stolen are Elijah's," I said.

"At least we now know that she is on our side," James said and I wanted to ask him about trusting her.

They were really getting on my nerves. I walked out of the building and towards my car. The compound was covered in red colour and dead bodies. They had really done a lot with them. Honestly, I am wondering whether I am making a mistake by going after her. If her mafia is strong with that kind of technology and weapons, I know I have to be smart.

Shit! I forgot to ask for her number. She is a pretty little thing. Actually not a thing, I want more than her body, I want for myself. To be waking up next to her, to bathe with her, to shower her with love and gifts and to have kids with her.

Shut the hell up. That isn't love you are feeling. It is just adoration and infatuation you have for her. You better stop dreaming big boy if you don't want your ego to be ruined. My subconscious said.

He is correct though. But that doesn't mean I won't go after her and make sure I get her into my bed.

I started driving but I stopped in front of the door. I saw that they were standing there waiting for my men.

Shit.

I forgot to tell them. I pressed a button in my car.

"I need seven SUVs in front of the main door of the premises."

After five minutes, they parked in front of me. I walked out of my car and walked towards my men.

"One car should carry the Spanish mafia leader's family and they should have two escorts, the same case of Mexicans. The other should be given to Paul so that they can drive my parents," I informed them and they bowed their heads in respect.

I walked to where my family was.

"Lorenzo, James, each one of you will have three cars, two escorts and the one you will be in. I will be driving with my siblings, mom and dad, Paul and Bob will drive you," I said.

"Thank you so much Ace," Lorenzo said.

"No need. You should get going. I'm sure you are really tired and hungry," I said and he nodded his head. After bidding us goodbye, they two families left. I walked into my car with my siblings trailing behind me. Mom and dad were already in the car.

"We are leaving," I said to my men using the microphone.
