My princess to the Black Widow Mafia

Chapter 172. Level up

*Warning* Slightly dark theme!!

Caleb POV
She fell asleep after crying herself to sleep because of what Ace said to her. I felt so bad because I knew that hurt her a lot cause she was very insecure about her stuttering.

I didn't know what was going on with Ace but I was very upset and disappointed with him. He was never mean to his mother why today? I knew he was angry about something but when I tried to ask him what was wrong he wanted to be left alone.

I knew those words were going to be replaying in her precious little mind all day. I kissed her forehead softly as she slept in my arms curled up like a ball.

"My precious little princess daddy loves you so much." I whispered against the top of her head. I kissed her forehead once more before I got up carefully from our bed so I wouldn't wake her up.

She turned lying on her stomach grabbing her stuffed animals out of instinct to cuddle with something as she slept. I covered her in the blanket kissing her head softly as she slept peacefully.

I walked out of our bedroom quietly closing the door softly so she wouldn't wake up from any sudden noises. I walked down the long hallway towards Aces bedroom.

I opened his bedroom, it was a total mess books, clothes, pillows, toy cars were thrown everywhere. It looked like a tornado ran through his bedroom.

He was sitting on the edge of his bed staring down at the floor as if he was trying to calm himself down. "You gonna tell me what's wrong before I decide how to punish you for disrespecting your mom like that?" I asked him impatiently.

"I didn't mean to say that dad I'm sorry." He apologized again looking up at me with guilt in his eyes. "I told you how to control your anger not take it out on your mom." He looked away from me not being able to look at me anymore.

"Look at me Ace!" I demanded from him in a firm calm tone. He looked up at me again tears filling his green eyes with anger fueled inside him. "What do you want me to say dad I apologized like ten times already?" He asked me angrily.

"I want you to tell me what's wrong stop shutting me out like I'm your enemy, I'm your father let me help you with whatever the hell it is you're going through." I explained to him pleadingly.

"Okay." He responded as his frustrated tears rolled down his cheeks. I sat beside him on his small bed ready to listen to all his problems. "Tell me Ace i won't get mad at you just tell me what's wrong." I encouraged him.

"You know Marco's son Dominic?" He asked me. "Yeah the one you had a fight with at school." I answered him. "Well him mainly and a group of his friends keep messing with me talking shit about mom because of the way she talks." He explained to me.

"Yesterday the principle told me if I got into another fight I would be expelled from the school so I've just been trying to ignore his remarks about mom but it's really starting to piss me off." He explained to me expressing his frustration.

Now I understood why he was angry but I couldn't understand why he was angry with his mom she didn't do anything to him nor did she deserve his harsh treatment and words.

"I get that they're pissing you off but explain to me why you had to basically insult your mother and take out your anger on her." I told him needing an explanation because what he said to her not only hurt her but opened up old wounds as well.

"I didn't mean to do that dad I really didn't i wasn't thinking when I said that." He explained regret filled in his voice.

"I'll come to the school with you tomorrow if he doesn't stop messing with you I want you to beat his ass don't let anyone stop you do you hear me?" I told him firmly because I was done with this kid messing with him.
