I Wish You Were Mine

CHAPTER # 4

ACE'S POV
♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇

LOVE - a four letter word that used to be everything for me..... and the most useless thing for me now. I hate to even hear about it and  the name of the person who made me hate love .

I had never thought that  i would  become so cold hearted but all thanks to  my dearest ex wife amelia( note the sarcasm) . I still remember the day when i caught  my wife kissing my only business rival in a hotel room .

I  tried to control my anger but my  rage and pain overtook and the inner mafia beast of my mine which i had inherited from my father took control of me. The sweet cheerful Ace who was a replica of her mother was completely replaced by the ruthless mafia boss. Something which i never wanted to happen . 

I was having a perfect life with my queen and princess but guess what.....the queen had to betray the king cause she could not see the world living peacefully with the beast sleeping and had to wake him .

I remember smirking at the sweet couple( note  the sarcasm again)in front of me that day who were even more shocked to see me smiling at the scene. Amelia's face was completely filled with fear and shock.

" Do not bother to come and get your things . I will deliver them to the nearest dumping ground. You can  collect it from there. ENJOY  DARLING " I said and left . She tried calling and texting but i ignored everything.

The next day by morning i had signed the divorce papers and sent them to her address. If there was anyone who was happy about my divorce was one and only - my father. That old man threw a freakin party the next day cause i had accepted to take over the mafia business from him which i had earlier disagreed to .  He had respected my decision of not wanting to be a part of mafia but had always wanted otherwise. I wanted to have a simple  and peaceful life with a happy family but life had other plans ......

The only  one thing that has kept me  sane  till now is my little angel .....Celeste . A small smile graced my lips thinking about her cute little face. I remember the day when celeste first asked  about her mother's absence and  how difficult it became for me to distract her from the truth. I don't want my daughter to have any hurtful memory of her mother no matter what she did .

Few days later i don't know why or how  .....but celeste stopped asking anything. She started to remain more quiet and never again asked about her mother. I was happy to not to have to answer anything but her reason for being uninterested about the absence of her mother's presence in her life was still unknown .

Ever since I took over the mafia and the business, I became very busy and could not care for Celeste personally. Not that I do not trust Mary but still. I never want my daughter to feel ignored.
Mary was my nanny and had always been like a mother figure for me and I completely trust her with Celeste but she already has a lot of other responsibilities of her family  and is turning old so she can't manage to give her 100%attention to her  all the time.

And this was the reason why I had been looking for a nanny for my angel. I had gone through more than 20 interviews since morning but could only shortlist 4 of them . All others were either too old or too fashionable clearing displaying their lack of maturity and responsibility  through their sense of  dressing and behaviour. Few of them were  even trying to flirt with me  and some where too afraid to even talk properly  .

The last girl in the interview intrigued me a bit . The way she was zoning out again and again was weird but she looked decent and wasn't too old also.
The most important fact that made me confirm her for the job was her interaction with Celeste. My angel seemed comfortable with her after a few minutes as i could interpret from watching them through my one sided office mirror .  She even allowed her to draw with her. She rarely gives attention to anyone other than me Mary and Mom,  Dad and of course the two racoons Xavier and Leo.

I decided to choose her as her file that Mrs George has brought to my office after i sent  her out to wait also had nothing suspecting  . She was a university student only.

I just hope that she cares well for my angel or else i won't hesitate to dig her grave...........
