Guarding The Mafia's Son

Chapter 5

Diamond's POV

"What?", Jessica exclaims after I tell her the entire story and how I'm now Ace Milan's bodyguard in my powder room.

"This is too risky Diamond", she warns.

"I know Jess, but please promise me you will tell no one about this".

She finishes my make-up and Denise has arrived.

"I promise no one will hear of this", she assures me and I smile at her but I can see she's still tense.

"Wish me luck"

She chuckles, "you don't need it, all the best".

"Aww", I get up and hug my best friend.

In an hour, I'm done with my first show and retreat beside Jessica to watch the other dancers. I notice Jessica looks around every few seconds and I know she's looking out for Ace.

Max comes over to tell me I'm up in ten minutes. Jessica pulls me aside and adjusts my red hair wig before Max calls out again. Jessy nods at me and I head onto stage by my pole.

I look around but Ace is nowhere in sight. I thought I was supposed to pick him up here. An hour till 11:30 and he's not here.

After a wrap around move, I spot Ace and Jeremy seated at the bar with glasses in front of them.

I catch Ace glance at his wrist watch and I take it I'm supposed to be there. Luckily, the music stops and I exit the stage quickly. Max catches up with me and hands me a brown envelope. I say my thanks and rush into the powder room. I bet Jessica had seen Ace because she is waiting with my stuff sorted out for me.

Quickly, I change into the suit and wash my face off Denise' make-up. Jessica fixes me up and in five minutes, I open my eyes and I can't see myself in the mirror.

"Hello Monica", Jessica says and I smile.

Jessica is a pro at this.

"Ten minutes to 11:30 baby, get going and remember, front door", she reminds me.

I hug her, insert the gun in my waistband and walk out. I head through the tunnel, climb the stairs and walk out to the front door. I turn the knob and push the door open.

I walk down a hallway and make an only turn to the right. I follow down a dark path then appear at some sort of a barricade door. There's a guard so I pull out a card Mr. No name had given me and the guard let's me in.

I enter and make a show of searching. My gaze meets Ace's and he nods slightly and I proceed towards him.

"Agent Monica Pierce?", Ace inquires and I wonder briefly if I'm the only one.

"Yes", I respond in a fake Australian accent that seem so real none suspected a thing. I take his proffered hand in a shake.

"Ace Milan, and he is my friend, Jeremy Meyer", he introduces and I turn to take his hand as well.

Ace glances around and I know now that he is waiting for someone. On cue, the door opens and a girl in a similar suit as mine walks in.

" Raina Starks", the dark haired lady announces and Ace introduces Jeremy and himself.

"Time to leave Ace, we've got ten minutes", Jeremy informs him and then we all walk out of the club. The barricade door opens and there are two men dressed in dark suits waiting. Ace nods at them. They nod back and join us.

Wait a minute!

Ace has got guards so why does he need me and Raina? I shake my head to clear my thoughts and concentrate on where we're going.
