I heard Jordan call my name after the dance ended, I got out of Ace's grip and walked over to Jordan. For some reason leaving Ace's presence made me sad as if I was empty again. Fuck what the hell are these feelings. Jordan was grinning with a surprised look as Caroline stood by him.

"Huh so you and Ace, who would of thought" he stated in a teasing manner as we started to walk back to our table.

"Mafia king and Mafia queen, how romantic" Caroline chimed in. We all took our seats as they both stared at me as if I was supposed to say something.

"More like prince and princess cause we're not married yet but go" I reply correcting our titles but in public are still referred to king and queen due to level of power among the nations.

"So y'all are getting married" Jordan asks with a smirk.

"I'm this close to snapping your dick off Jordan" I glare at him bringing my thumb abs index finger close together just barely touching.

"Explain now" Caroline says leaning in.

"Guys it was nothing, you all just left and me and Ace were the only was still seated. So he came up asked me for a dance and before I said anything he held his hand out to me and led me to the rest of you guys. Literally nothing happened." You said giving them a "what the fuck you were you expecting me to say" look.

Jordan and Caroline exchanged glances before looking back at me. "If anything happens don't say we didn't call it first" Jordan says in defense.

I just rolled my eyes at him from how stupid they both sound thinking Ace would be in love with me or that I would be in love let alone with him out of all people.

"Lover boys coming" Caroline says as I shoot my eyes up to see him.

I see Ace and his family walk towards our tables as he takes a seat next to me with a smirk on his face. His parents sat on the other side with my parents as me and Jordan exchanged looks of confusion. What the hell was happening.

"As you all know we have created an alliance with the American Mafia" my father stated.

We already finalized it all?

"Wait it's official?" Jordan questioned as we all looked at the adults with pure confusion.

"We made this alliance months prior so we could have it finalized tonight. He stated with a smile.

"But the mission?" Ace question as I become even more confused.

"The mission was a joke son" his father said smiling. "We just wanted to see if you have any actual social skills."

I bit my lip to hold back my laugh. As Ace glared over at me with a sour expression and rolled his eyes.

"Now that the alliance part is cleared up we have some actual issues to get to. Both of our mafias are at risk, the Grey's will be moving in with us for a few months until this is all cleared up. As soon as we get home we will discuss all of this in my office." My father stated in a serious tone.

What the hell was going on?

"I think now would be a good time to call it a night here." Ace's father said as him and his wife arose from their seats. We all stood up and Jordan kissed Caroline goodbye and I went to go give her a hug before leaving the ballroom.

I wrapped my arms around myself as the cold air stung my bare skin the second we stepped outside. "Should of brought the shawl" I mentally noted to myself. But luckily the limo was already here.

Me and Ace sat in the back of the limo as everyone else got seated in the rows in front of us. I was trying to sit next to Jordan but just my luck, i'm stuck in the back with the devil.

The ride home was going to be an hour long because of accidents on the highway from the winter snow. I was looking out of the window admiring the night and how slowly the little snowflakes fell from the sky.

The driver took a sudden turn to avoid getting hit which caused everyone to stumble to the side. I tried to grasp onto the window but failed and was thrown to the side as Ace caught me. This night just couldn't get any better now could it.

I looked up at him trying to release myself from his grip but he was holding onto me tight. What the hell is he doing? I looked back up at him pure confusion but he was just looking down at me as he held me in his muscular arms. I tried again to release myself but he had a strong grip on me and the fact that he was 4 times bigger than me didn't make this any better.

I wanna bite his arm off.

He finally hesitantly released his grip on me and let me go. I couldn't tell because of how dark it was in the car but I definitely had a bruise on my arm. When he let me go it felt like a wave of relief but also sadness. Why am I feeling like this?

I didn't bother to move over to the other window so I was still seated right next to Ace. I felt his eyes glued onto me. I wanted to look up at him and say something but I didn't. He started to removed his coat and he placed it over my shoulders and then wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close to his chest.

As much as I adored the warmth that I was getting from him I wanted to be let go of so bad. But my body didn't move. I just sat there looking out the window on Ace's side as he looked down at me. I glanced over at his watch to check the time. "9:25 PM" we were still 45 minutes from home.
