My Past

Chapter 44

Author's Pov [EARLY UPDATE]

Amelia stood on the sofa without saying a word, her face devoid of emotion. Ace looked up at her and knew she was trying to hold back her feelings in front of him.

 He didn't follow her when she went back upstairs to her room. He knew she couldn't handle the weight of everything they were dealing with. However, he was surprised when she asked him to continue telling her about the organization later on. Amelia was stronger than he had thought.

Several hours later, Ace sat in the living room scrolling through his phone when he heard footsteps approaching. He quickly pretended to be asleep, but couldn't resist a smile as he heard Amelia chuckle. 

She walked over to him, observing his sleeping face as she traced his cheek with her nail.

 Suddenly, he grabbed her waist, and her head hit the sofa. She looked down to see his face right beneath her neck, and he brought his attention to her eyes, licking his lips. She tried to stand up, but he held onto her, pulling her down to his level.

Their breathing slowed, and they gazed at each other, blushing. Ace traced her lower lip with his thumb, and Amelia let out a contented sigh, relaxing at his touch.

 Their lips touched, but they didn't move, savoring the moment."Amelia," Ace whispered, his lips brushing against hers. She closed her eyes, reveling in the sensation."I want to kiss you," he said, and she responded eagerly, letting out a soft moan. 

They kissed passionately as if they were starving for each other. Suddenly, Amelia pulled away.

 Ace frowned, trying to kiss her again, but she stopped him, placing her hand on his chest.

"What happened next?" She questions and Ace frowns confused about what she is talking about and then it hits him, she wants to know more about it. 

Ace clears his throat, "Your kidnapper, he was chosen as the head of the organization. The one who will make sure there is no dispute between any mafia. But..That fucker" Ace curls his hand into a fist and Amelia notices how angry his demeanor became at the mention of him. 

"He was working with the Spanish Mafia" Ace says and Amelia gasps. Spanish mafia? How is that possible? It's been years since the Spanish mafia was seen, and no one knows where they have been. Everyone thoughts that they have died after the first war between the mafia. Amelia knew about the first war, a war between 6 mafias that left a huge impact on everyone but she didn't know how it started. 

"What? How...why? I...what exactly happened?" Amelia questions, the question of how the war started always made her curious. She didn't exactly know what happened then but it was something related to some traitors. Some pieces of the war she had were now making sense, she wanted to know more. 

Ace sighs, "There is a crystal somewhere out there, a crystal that was only a single one in this world. Its worth is more than billions, some say that it is worth thousands of Kuwaiti Dinar"

 Amelia gasps. That's too much...too much to even imagine. How can something be so precious?

"Why? It's just a crystal"  Amelia says. Ace shakes his head in denial, "It's a rare crystal, Amelia. There is only one crystal. There were rumors that it can heal people, bring dead people to life, and...whoever has it will be immortal. I am not sure if it's true though." 

Amelia was lost, out of words. It was hard for her to digest this all. Amelia frowns when she remembers something. 

"What...what is the color of that crystal?" She questions. 

Ace looks up at her and says, "Multiple colors. Like a universe"
