the devils love

chapter 15

It's been a while since i passed out. I've gotten 13 more voicemails from Tate. He puts on a brave voice but i know he's scared.

Boss man has walked in on me a couple of times listening to them on repeat and tried to see what it was for himself. I really don't want him to know but he's a mafia boss if he wants to find something out for himself he will.

We found out it was the Spanish-Italian mafia that attacked the ball. I know my big brother had something to do with it.

The man i recognised at the ball was his right hand. I have only just remembered everything from my old life. It came back it flashes and it still does.

The one who ran away when he saw me, was my ex boyfriend. Also who i was arranged to marry. And my brothers 'best friend'.

They weren't actually close. He was just the only person my brother didnt want to put a bullet in. And he was partially the reason i needed to leave.

I thought i loved him but i realised it wasn't actually him i loved. Just the fake him he pretended to be so i would agree to the marriage.

"Ace- you okay? you spaced out again..." Shade said, lightly gripping my shoulder.

I give him a quick smile and say im just hungry then head to the kitchen.

I have been keeping up on my meals lately because i dont want to worry Grey again. I cant stand to see that look in his eyes again. It hurt my soul.

"Good morning, hermosa." Grey says as he walks past me.

"Good morning my dear." i reply in a teasing voice. I love when he calls me his little nicknames and it makes him laugh when i call him stupid ones.

"I was thinking about taking you with us to Italy. Since i am needed there for business and you are clearly better than most of my men, i think you would come in handy." he passes me the milk for my cereal.

"I would love to boss man, but you know i am really needed here." i say laughing as his arms rap around my waist.

"Oh yeah?" he smirks, "what for mi amore?"

"You know, just that our bed will miss me so much and so will the ice cream in the freezer."

"We will leave in two days. Pack your things." before i could protest he walks out of the kitchen.

Fuck.

How am i supposed to go back to Italy when i have been running from it for so long....

I won't be able to go there. I can't. What if they find me again? I cannot end up in his hands again. How do i tell Grey?

When i try to find him to somehow explain i cant go without telling him the actual reason i find Carina instead. So he left. And didnt say goodbye. That shouldn't make me sad.

I smile at her and ask if she needs any help. She insists that she doesnt but this is a huge ass place to clean so i pick up some random cleaning supplies and help her. We talk for a long time and go into different rooms as we clean the house.

We run into some of the men and Shade looks shady. Haha get it? word play? no? okay... well i think im funny so nvm.

I can tell he's up to something so i decide to plan something with Carina as well.

I whisper in her ear, "I'm going to go get something from my room can you distract Shade ........."

I tell her my plan quickly and we both start laughing which makes Shade look at us suspiciously which makes us laugh even harder. I run away quickly and Carina does what she needed to.

When i come back two of the boys have left and Carina gives me a small nod so i just act as nonchalantly as possible. The whistling and everything. This makes Shade worried so he runs up into his room.

Exactly what we wanted.

Andddd 3... 2..... 1....

"AHHHHH WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ACALIA FUCKING HELL AHHHHHH!!!!!" the house fills up with the screams of Shade and we all run up laughing to find him in his room covered in white, black and green goo and glitter.

I got Carina to tell him how he has stuff in his hair and knew if he thought i was in his room he would run up and end up taking a shower.

The water wasnt water and his towel definitely wasnt clean.....

"I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU MY SHOWER!!!" he cries "THAT IS MY SAFE SPACE YOU BITCH"

"No where is safe when you start a war with me sweet cheeks." i wink and walk away extra sassily.

Grey is going to have to deal with his ass complaining when he gets home.

And then i have to tell him i can't go to italy. i hope he understands.
