Chapter 30: Chapter 30

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 kill you," it said and I knew it was the truth but now, I didn't care.

"I know and that isn't my problem," I said.

"And you think it's mine?" She asked.

"What do you want in the first place?" It asked.

"To make a truck," I answered.

"What kind of truce?" She asked.

"You're living here," I said.

"What! Of course not!" She shouted angrily.

"You don't have a choice. That or death and I am sure you don't want to leave your sister alone," I said. She shut her mouth afterwards.

"Fine," she agreed. "Now untie me," she said and I walked towards her and untied her.

When she was free, she lunged at me and stabbed me. Why did she get a dagger from?

"Why…did you get a dagger from?" I asked..

"None of your business," she said coldly. She pushed me to the chair which I had tied her on and I sat down.

"Now let's make this clear. I know that you have made me the condition to live here so that Ivy can't do anything to you but I am sorry to inform you that will not happen. Yes, I will be living with you but you are placed in danger. You tortured me, do you know what that means? I won't back out just as she won't. The game is on. I will get rid of five of your warehouses worldwide and you won't stop me cause if you do, I will do worse," she whispered in my ear. "Now stand up and lead me to my room before I do worse to you," she shouted.

What did I get myself into?

I thought by proposing that they won't do anything to my mafia but how mistaken I am. Dad will be so disappointed in me.

I struggled to stand up but she didn't care. I wonder how she is able to stand up while I have tortured her that much. I stood up nonetheless and walked out of the cell.

"And I hope that my room is big enough cause if it isn't, you will have to buy another house," she said and I rolled my eyes.

"Who do you think you are?" I asked angrily.

"Adrianna of course," she said with a chuckle.

When we got to the living room, Ivan and Mike were nowhere to be seen. I guess Mike took his son to bed.

"What happened?" Abigail asked.

"Why are you bleeding, Ace?" Mom asked.

"I stabbed him, of course. What does it look like?" Adrianna asked annoyedly. "Now, if you excuse us, he has a room to show me."

"Paul can show you. His wound needs to be treated," dad said.

"Ooh really? You people are pathetic. What about me? Just one stab and you all are behaving as if he is going to die," Adrianna said.

"But he will if his wound won't be treated," Mark said.

"Tsk tsk," she said and she stabbed me again on my thigh.

"You should all learn to shut up if you don't want me to kill him then. He brought this upon himself so he will have to suffer. He also stabbed me but can you see me behaving like a person who is going to die in the next minute?" She asked.

"But you are used to being stabbed," Abigail said.

"Who said I was used to it? Then I will stab him until he gets used to it. He is the leader yet he is so weak. No wonder you haven't been able to capture Elijah. He has been tormenting you all," she said and all our faces fell.

"I was never your enemy but after what he did, I am your worst nightmare and first enemy. Maybe I should find Elijah and make a truce with him," she said with a grin.

"Don't you dare, we already have a truck," I said.

"Asking me to live in your house isn't a truce, Ace. Ooh and never again dare you force me to address you as don't cause no son of mine can be so weak as you are," she said. "We have no truce and you know it. Ire, how many of their houses are down?" She asked.

"Two," it answered.

"You will all regret kidnapping and most of all torturing me. I have no heart .I am heartless so is my sister and whoever crosses our paths pays. Now move," she sneered at the last part making us flinch.

I started limping towards the stairs. I could see my mom shedding tears. It is all my fault. I wish I didn't torture her. No, I didn't capture her in the first place.

She walked boringly until we arrived. I showed her the room and she walked around checking whether everything was in the right place.

"You can leave now," she said arrogantly. If I wasn't in pain right now, I would have shut that mouth of hers by kissing it.

I walked out of the room and walked to my room. As much as I wanted to go downstairs, I knew that they were in shock right now. We are the strongest and most feared mafia but unfortunately, Adrianna and Ivy don't care about that. Whether they are playing fire with a mafia. We have never been afraid of anyone. But now, everyone in my mafia is afraid of them. Even I. I know I will lose a lot of men with their revenge tactics. I wish I knew which warehouses they were planning on attacking. That way, I would have warned my men and maybe taken some of the goods away from the building. Unfortunately for me, the first warehouse that they blew up was the biggest and had the most supply of weapons. I wish I could go back again to the time I injected her, I would have done the deed I did. How can she be so tough? Even after I tortured her? Is she that she is used to being tortured or do they torture themselves? I always wanted to take her to my bed but after what has happened now, I don't think I will ever be close to her.

I walked to my washroom and took out a first aid kit. I needed to clean my wound and bandage it before going downstairs. It was so painful doing it but I had to endure. It took me more than half an hour to treat it. After I took some painkillers, I walked out of my room and went downstairs. The room was quiet and everyone was on his thoughts. Upon hearing footsteps, they turned their heads to my direction.

"Ooh son," mom said as she rushed to my side.

"I am a fine mom. I have treated the wounds," I assured her and she nodded her head.

"I knew this wasn't a good idea. We were supposed to have them on our side not making them need our enemies," dad broke the silence.

"I know dad and I am very sorry. I know that you are disappointed in me," I said.

"It is okay. What we need is a solution to this," he said.

"She will be living here with us. At least we have extra help," I said.

"I don't think she will help us when we get into trouble or when we are going on a mission," Paul said and we kept quiet because we knew that he was right.

"Of course she will," Bob said and we looked at him. "She can't say no to having fun. She loves killing so I am sure when we invite her for missions she will join us."

"He has a point but we need to gain her trust first," Abigail said.

"I think today was a very tiresome day and we all deserve to rest. We will talk more tomorrow," mom said and there was no way we could argue with her so we nodded and left for our rooms.

On the other hand, I honestly don't know whether I will be able to sleep. All I can think of is the woman sleeping next door. I know I wasn't supposed to torture her but I really wanted answers. I need to find ways so that she can forgive me for what I did to her. After I get her to my bed, then I won't care at all. I just want to feel myself inside her. To devour her and know what she tastes like.
