Guarding The Mafia's Son

Chapter 12

Ace's POV

Oscar, my father's guard, pushes the door open when he sees me approach.

"Sir"

I nod and walk inside. I don't know what to feel right now, excited I'm gonna see my father after three months or prepare myself for his reprimanding.

"Father", I call out to him and he turn to me.

The room is pretty dark but vision is possible. My father is standing by the floor to ceiling window with a glass in hand.

"Sit down Ace", he orders and oblige, taking the seat by a work table. He comes to sit opposite me and regards me carefully.

"Father, I'm sorry okay. I just...I just...its just...shit"

He comes around the table and leaning down, he pulls me into a hug, "hey, its okay", he assures but I shake my head.

"No, it's not"

He pulls back then, "it will be and we'll find her"

"It's been more than five years", I tell him after a pause.

He nods, "yes but please let me take care of this. I don't like you putting yourself at risk"

What? She's my mom, he can't ask me to drop all this.

"Father, I'm not sto..."

"I'm not talking about the circuit, son. What you and Monica did"

I nod but I'm not promising anything. I need to speak with Aunt Jennifer.

Diamond's POV

"Argh, my waist hurts from all that whining and twerking and ouch", I yelp when Jessica deliberately pulls my hair.

She scoffs, "nobody asked you to make that acrobatic move to get the gun"

I roll my eyes at her through the mirror. Yeah, I told her all about it before my dance session began, and she'd smacked my ass for being reckless and foolish, claiming I could have died. Leave it to her to state the obvious.

"A mini skirt?", she says and holds out my outfit from my bag.

"Yeah, I've had enough of jeans already", I get to my feet and she hands me the skirt. I pull it on and shrug on a matching black button down short sleeves shirt, then pull on high knee black boots with red laces.

"Hmm, I look chic", I end with a wink.

She shakes her head, "don't tell me you plan on getting drunk"

I grin wide at her and wink.

"Ha, no way", she half shouts.

"Oh come on, just a shot"

"A shot?"

"I promise", I bat my lashes dramatically and she gives in, "yes!"

She chuckles and we walk side by side to the bar.

Okay, so I broke my promise but we're having fun, Jessy and I. Not drunk but having fun.

"Hmm look who's here", Jessy announces and I catch her wave to someone.

I whirl around in my seat.

"Hi beautiful", he says and kisses me full on the lips.

Hmm.

"I've got to go Diamond", Jessy is already up and leaving.

I grab her arm, "what? You are my ride home, remember?
