"Liam is under my control now, sweetheart," Ace sneers, tightening his grip.
Amella's eyes blaze with defiance as she confronts him, "Why do you hate him?! Leave him alone!" His hold on her neck loosens slightly.
Gripping her hair tightly, Ace looks...

Amelia's Pov
I groan at the pain that shoots in my head. Fuck. Trying my best not the curse, I slowly open my eyes. Rubbing my eyes, I slowly sit up and looked to my right to see Ace sleeping on the couch. Hmm...I looked at the digital clock and my eyes widened in surprise. 3:30 Am! Damn...I switch on the table lamp beside me and take the medicine beside it. After reading the name of the medicine, I took one pill out and pop it into my mouth. Grabbing the jar, I fill the glass and drink it.
What happened exactly...Oh right! The gunshot...panic attack...and the intense scene, all flooded my mind. I lean my body back on the headboard of the bed and take a deep breath. What the hell just happened?! My stomach growls and I sigh.
I slowly pull the blanket off my body and shiver when my feet touch the cold wooden floor. Taking a look at Ace, I smile to myself. I think I have an idea of what my heart is trying to tell me but I don't think I am ready...Sighing, I push my body and stand up.
My heart's race increased at the silent whispers I heard when I come closer to the door. Silently opening the door, I peek out of the room. The hallway was dark and no bodyguard was standing there. That's strange. Normally, there are at least four guards in the hallway at night. After what happened a few hours ago, Ace should have been more careful.
"Where do you think you are going?" I jump at the grumpy voice from behind. I Turn my body to face Ace. Just like I thought, his arms were crossed against his chest. His face was glaring at me and all I did in return was a smirk.
"Escaping from you," I say with a fake smile. He raise an eyebrow in amusement and comes forward and I immediately took a step back.
"I am hungry, I am going downstairs to find something," I say, my voice laced with anger. He can't always order me around! How dare he! Motherfuck-
"If you think that glaring at me like that will scare me then let me tell you, the little fighter you are wrong. Honestly, you look like a little girl pouting for candy" Ace says and I take a deep breath. This stupid hulk!
I was about to say something when he walked past me. WHAT THE HELL?!
"You!" I scream at him. He stops in his tracks and turns to face me. His eyes shine in amusement at my finger that was pointing at him. He chuckles and gives me a wink and then continues his walking.
I huff but nonetheless, follow him. The hallway was too silent for my liking. The only good thing right now is Ace. NO! Not like THAT. I mean, he is a giant man so if some ghost tries to attack me he can beat the ghost. Suddenly, I bump into a wall. I looked up to see....Ace. Damn! His back is like a wall.
Ace turns around and raises an eyebrow, "Be careful, little fighter" I roll my eyes at him and huff. Ace enters the kitchen which lights up immediately when he steps inside. I look at the kitchen and my jaw hits the floor. Freaking hell.
The kitchen was white. It is designed beautifully and is made up of marble with golden touch and outline here and there. The huge chandelier above me was golden with pearls as the outline. My god
"Close your mouth or I will make you open it for a good reason," Ace says. I look into his eyes which were filled with amusement and lust. I gulped, suddenly feeling scared. Taking a deep breath, I move towards the counter and sit on the bar stool while Ace goes to the refrigerator.
"What are you making?" I question. Ace takes out two eggs and bread. I smile. Scrambled eggs. I wish I could say 'You're the best, Ace' but I refrain from saying so. He is my enemy and he is an arrogant Bastardo.
"Non sei cosi male" I say in Italian, knowing he won't understand it. Ace turns towards me and raises an eyebrow.
I wink at him. He chuckles, "Thank you, little fighter." He says.
This time, I raise my eyebrow. I put my palm under my chin and questions, "Do you know what I said?"
Ace nods, "You're not that bad" He translates and my mouth opens wide in shock. How tf-
Ace winks at me, "Little fighter, Don't underestimate me"
