"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
It's been 20 hours since Ace told me everything. 20 hours since I got to know about that crystal, the reason for the first war. All these things are messing up in my head, there are so many thoughts swarming around in my head and the most annoying thing is that I am not able to stop those thoughts.
I haven't seen Ace, when I got down to the living room it was empty. I figured out he was out for work. There was one thought in particular that has been bugging me since then. If Ace doesn't answer that question, I don't think I will be able to trust him.
"Amelia" Ace yells from downstairs. I jump at the sudden voice. I open the door of the bedroom and ran down to see Ace looking around, I frown.
"Yea?" I ask and he looks up. He gives me a small smile and comes to me, hugging me. My eyes widen in surprise at the sudden gesture. I awkwardly pat his shoulder, he was suffocating me.
"We have to go" He slowly whispers, and my frown deepens. Go? where to? Ace breaks the hug and turns around but I stop him by holding his wrist. Ace stops and looks at me with a questioning gaze.
"How do you know about my kidnappers? My parents and Clyde?" I question. Ace tenses and my heart starts beating faster, waiting for his answer.
Ace looks down and gulps. "My dad told me about your parents and Clyde," He says. I nod in understanding. I breathe in a sign of relief, relief that I can trust him.
"And?" I question, raising my eyebrow. Ace keeps quiet. One minute, two minutes, three. I wait for him to say something, to answer the question but he didn't. Why? Why is he not telling me? The worst reasons start coming into my mind but I wait.
Ace takes a deep breath and looks up at me, "Amelia...I have spies everywhere. In every mafia, even yours...I know about your kidnapping because of my spy in your mafia. I have three spies in the Spanish mafia. Everyone thought that the Spanish mafia have vanished but I knew that they haven't." He completed.
Wow, Ace is a lot smarter than I thought. It's shocking that he is so smart at such a young age. But at the same time, it's not good to have a spy on every mafia but again, mafias are all bad.
"They don't get caught?" I ask. Ace shakes his head, "They only contact me when something big and dangerous is about to happen. My agent left your gang after you were kidnapped and then told my dad about it"
I nodded. Ace then takes my hand and drags me upstairs. What the hell?!
"Ace!" I yell at him but he ignores me. Even though his grip was not tight at all, I still curse at him. We stand in front of the bedroom, Ace turns me towards him by gripping my shoulder. I glare at him as hard as I can.
"We need to go, Your parents are in danger, Your brothers, I and you are all going to help them," Ace says and my breath hitched in my throat. My parents? Tears welled up and start falling down my cheeks but I just stare at Ace.
It's been over a month now since I have seen them or even more I guess. I miss them, a lot. All these things have been so depressing that I completely forget about them...and Liam...Oh my gosh, Liam.
My body was jerked to left and Right, I yelp to see Ace looking at me with concern lacing his eyes.
What's going to happen now? I have to save my parents, my rocks, and my love. I close my eyes. I hope it will be all over soon.
