Guarding The Mafia's Son

Chapter 6

Ace's POV

Shit! My knuckles are throbbing. I wring my fingers as I walk out of the arena with Ray watching my back. I hate doing this but I can't stop now, not until I have achieved my goal.

As I pull out my mask in my cave like room, the face of my other female guard, What's her name again? Um, Monica, appear in my thoughts.

I had furrowed my brows at her and wondered why she'd been staring at me like that. She does know I'm Trace right. Dad might have told her or should I say dad's personal bodyguard, Declan.

Whether she knew that or not, that look had something but I can't get what. She'd been shocked, yes I'd seen that but...whatever.

I change into my jeans and T-shirt and head up back to Paragon with Ray tugging behind as usual. Dad and his overprotection.

Jeremy is seated at the bar with a bottle of beer in front of him. I join him and order a bottle for myself.

"Hey, how you feeling?", he asks and I chuckle.

"Good".

After a moment, Jeremy motions behind me and I turn to see my female guards and Trent at the exit. I turn back to Jeremy and he's giving me a weird look.

"What?"

"Agent Pierce", he quips and I arch my brows at him.

"What's wrong with agent Pierce?", I inquire and take a drink from my bottle.

He scratches his forehead, "I saw her staring with this weird look on her face after your fight"

Oh.

"She's probably shocked I think".

"Yeah but I think there's more to that look than shock", he says and cast a glance at her.

I laugh, " you and your insinuations. They are sworn to secrecy remember, and I don't think she's up to something. Forget it bro".

"Well, here she comes".

I sigh and pat his shoulder then I hear from behind me.

"Sir".

I turn to Monica and stand. Jeremy picks up his phone and says, "see you at school tomorrow, man".

I nod and he walks out of the club.

"Shall we?", Agent Pierce asks and I nod. She follows me out to the lot. We stop by my Camry and I get in the back seat and she the front.

I really hate been driven about but l know I don't have a say when it's comes to my father and his decisions concerning my safety.

We are both silent throughout the ride except when I'm giving her the directions to the Paragon mansion, which was given to me and my four friends by my father.

And why is she stealing glances and avoiding my gaze at the same time?

My phone rings suddenly and I catch Monica jump. What's up with this girl?

"Hello Aunt Jennifer", I say into the phone after answering the call.

Jennifer Mercer Milan was my father's elder sister by three years. Jennifer was a tough woman and headed the mafia alongside my father. She turns out to be my mother's best friend as well and I turn to her every time I need advice or help. I could say she was my mom only she's not. No one can take the place of Maryse Milan, not even aunt Jenny.

"Hello hun, how are you?", her soothing voice asked.

"I'm good aunt. Any news from Prada?", I inquired. Prada was a group my father had assigned to look into the Clint issue. Well, I think Clint is very stupid. Standing up against and threatening Paragon? He was just asking for a death wish, and considering him messing with my aunt and father, he was asking for one and I knew Aunt Jennifer wasn't gonna spare that fool for messing with me. I shook my head and caught Monica glancing my way.

"No news son but I know we'll get one soon and when we find that son of a....", she trailed of and continued after a second, "he's gonna regret ever messing with you honey".

"I know aunt, but he's the least of my worries right now", I told her and there was a moment of silence before she asked.

"Is this about Prey?"

From nowhere my breath laboured and I had to force my lungs to function again. The mention of that name had my blood boiling in rage. I won't be responsible for whatever happened to them if I found them. They were the main reason I was in that horrible fight circuit."Yes aunt and pray I find them".
