I fell in love with the mafia devil

chapter 26: her diary

Ace's pov

The house has been quiet, and everyone knows why.
Cruise is not talking to me, and I'm basically an alcoholic now. Yeyyyy!

Catie tries to stay happy, but I can see that she misses Ashley, and Marie, well she doesn't talk to me like she used to before

"Ace",Marie called out. I stood still, and she came towards me, "-you haven't been going to work, I don't think that's good", she stated
"I just want to be alone",I said, not being able to stand still.
"You are drowning yourself in alcohol, you are trying to forget everything, you are trying to forget her, but is it really helping?",she asked
"Marie...", I was about to answer but she interrupted me
"..you know what? Don't answer, because by answering, you would be lying to me and to yourself, and you know I hate lies. I won't act or pretend like I'm not disappointed Ace, because I am. You treated Ashley like shit, and now she has left, and deep down in your heart you know that along with her, the happiness in this house left too", she said, leaving me alone

'Happiness in this house left too'

Her words kept ringing in my head repeatedly, and I couldn't take it anymore. I just want to rest, I want to stop thinking about everything.

I went upstairs, holding on to the walls of the house for dear life, because I could feel my feet bailing on me.

And there it was, Ashley's room, the door was still broken, and I couldn't call anyone to fix it, because I don't want anyone to enter her room.

I slowly walked up to her room, being careful of the steps that I take so that I don't end up falling.

I entered her room and I could smell her scent, it's as if she was still here, as if she never left

I thought I could hold on to a table for dear life, but my hand grasped air instead, resulting in me falling

"Fuck!"I groaned, and I was about to pick myself up, but I saw a book under a table. I quickly reached out to grab it before standing up

It had 'dear diary' written on it's hard cover, and my eyes started tearing up as I brushed my fingertips against the hard cover

I sat on Ashley's bed holding her diary. I didn't want to read her diary, after all it's her privacy, but I was tempted. I sighed as I flipped over the cover page that was neatly decorated...when did she even get the time to decorate this book. She must have used Catie's colors.
Then I began reading

Dear diary

I landed up in this mysterious place, full of mysterious people. Due to my curiosity, I will end up dead. My kidnapper sleeps thirty seconds away from my room, and I'm expecting him to kill me anytime.
When we were at that warehouse, where I was tied to that uncomfortable chair, I could feel Ace's eyes pierce through me, sending shivers down my spine. His gaze was cold, calculating, and menacing. I felt fear, anger, and resentment. Who is this man? Why has he taken me?
This might be the last thing that I write, and I won't even be able to bid my bestfriend goodbye

Dear diary

Cruise took me shopping today. It was a welcome escape from Ace's suffocating presence. But even as we laughed and joked, I sensed Cruise's loyalty remained with Ace. He warned me about him, told me to be cautious.
I keep thinking about the time Ace helped me with my injured leg, when he touched me for the first time in my so called room. His touch sent sparks through my body. I feel drawn to him, despite knowing that I shouldn't. I'm afraid of him, yet I feel safe around him. I see glimpses of kindness in his eyes, especially when he talks to Catie and Marie. Am I fooling myself?

Dear diary

I've been noticing Ace more and more. The way he moves, his confidence, his power. It's intoxicating.
I feel like we have had our moments, the time we had Natalie over for dinner, the time he grabbed me by waist telling me how naked I am, which was solemnly false, the time he carried me to my bed, the time we slow danced, the time he sat beside my bed to watch me sleep, the time he put me on top of that kitchen counter and the time we went on the ice cream date as a way of him apologizing.
One moment he is this cruel, controlling bitch, the next moment, he is this gentle, caring gentleman. It's all so confusing. Is he putting up a facade by pretending to care, or does he really care?
Can I trust him? I've been betrayed so many times before, and I'm afraid I'm too weak to take another betrayal.

I kept on reading, and the one I was about to read had dried tear stains all over it, and it was the last diary entry she wrote.

You can listen to the song now>>

Dear diary

I've made up my mind - I'm leaving
Ace has told me about his shady side, and I've accepted that. My mistake was thinking that it's the only secret he was hiding from me. He is keeping something else from me, I know it. I've tried trusting the process, I kept telling myself, convincing myself that he will gradually tell me. But it's clear that regardless of what I do, he will never trust me.
I don't want to assume anything about him, I want to trust him, but everytime he lies to my face my trust in him slowly fades
But I've also committed a sin, a huge sin, I fell in love with him.
I'm trapped in a love that can never be mine. I've allowed his darkness to draw me in, and now I'm lost.
Every moment with him is a contradiction - fear and excitement, danger and safety. His touch ignites a fire within me, but I know I can never truly have him. His world is one of crime and violence, and I'm just a pawn.
Cruise warned me, but I didn't listen. Now, I'm torn between my love for Ace and the need to escape. Leaving him will shatter my heart, but staying will destroy my soul. He's like a distant star, way out of reach for me

These are my chronicles of falling in love with a mafia devil
