My jaw dropped.

Ace shook his head in annoyance. The girl laughed loudly before leaving him. When Ace saw me giving him a dirty look, he immediately fumbled out, "Wait, don't get this wrong-"

"Wow, so you want to make me fall in love with you while you were already engaged huh?" I flipped him off. "Good job being a cheater-"

"Look she's-"

"I don't need any explanation! You are just a player and manipulative little shit and I should have know that before."

He stuttered to get right words to explain me but I was already walking away. That's when I heard the girl laughing behind me. "Honey, I am just joking. Come, take your mans."

I turned around, a confused look on my face. She hung her hands around his shoulders and said, "I am his friend, Emily. I just saw that immense tension between you two and was like, oh let's fuck with them." She explained. When she still thought I didn't look convinced enough, she came to me and grinned, whispering, "I don't even like men, honey."

Ace slapped his forehead. "Emily, you always mess things up."

"Wow, man not even a 'how are you?" She teased. "My virgin lil' boy's dick seems thirsty."

"He is a virgin?" I looked at Ace, surprised.

"Omg, you didn't know?" Emily laughed. "He's too busy with coding to get girls. But good for you though, you gonna get the untouched, pure eggplant."

Ace blinked. "First of all, I am not one and alsoI am very uncomfortable, why is this a topic-"

"See he's not denying." Emily looked at me and seriously said, "I am relying on you to give Ace a good time. I know you can do it, you have that tigress vibe to you."

I don't know why but blush creeped into my cheeks. "Well..."

"Sad that you are straight and taken. You were totally my type." Lexi sighed. "Where's Domb?"

"Domb?"

"I just combined Dom and dumb together because that's what he is."

I started wheezing and we both high fived. Ace stood there awkwardly yet his eyes watched me. It's as if seeing me laugh brought a smile on his face. When my eyes met his, he scratched his head like a little puppy and mouthed, 'Sorry for acting like that' and he hurried out. I don't know why that made me feel bad.

Or maybe I just didn't know how to act when people weren't rude to me.

Emily looked at me excitedly, "Well now that there is finally a female in this place besides those stinky men, we can have so much fun. How about we start with some shopping?"

* * *

At first Ace didn't even allow us to leave the premises in fear of something happening to me but after a lot of begging and whining, he made Dom to tag behind us because he had some work, along with some other guards in disguise or something. Dom constantly grumbled how he was always the 'babysitter' as we arrived in the mall.

"These look so good." Emily held up a bunch of clothes and I nodded. "I am getting them all then, period."

She swayed to Dom and lend her hand out. Dom rose a brow and she rolled her eyes, grabbed his butt, took his wallet out, picked the credit card and put the wallet back in. Dom directed a glare at her and she gave him a smile before coming to me. "I am going to buy everything in here because it's not my card that's going to pay anymore."

"I doubt he has that much money though." I said. "Look at him, looking like a homeless dude. I bet his credit card is just air."

Dom caught our eyes talking about him and he screamed, "Stop back bitching about me, losers." in a high pitched voice. Me and Emily laughed and this reminded me of the old times when me and Kelly would hangout. I missed her.

And that's when Kelly facetimed me.

"Hello! How's your trip?" Kelly asked. I had told her that I would be away for some time as I am taking some refreshments in the form of a trip somewhere. "I miss you bitch."

Emily's eyes fell on Kelly. "Your friend?"

I nodded. "It's good, I am out right now. How are you?"

"I am good. Had an interview yesterday, hope I get the job."

"You will, baby. I know you will." I encouraged her.

"I bet they will be lucky to have a beautiful woman like you to work with them." Emily said beside me.

So I took it as a cue to introduce Emily. "Emily, this is Kelly, my bestfriend. Kelly, this is Emily." They both waved at each other. At one point, they started talking with each other. While they were conversing, I went around the shop looking for some more clothes. But that's when I noticed somebody.

A woman facing me, a cap over her head, covering half her face. I wondered if she was one of Ace's guards but something about her body language seemed off. She seemed like she was examining me and wasn't even here for the clothes. I looked around the store. It was a pretty big one and right now where I was standing, nobody was there. I could see Lexi talking with Kelly in a distance but I couldn't see Dom.

I could feel the woman step closer.

I started making my way back when I heard her speak, "Don't go back with them."

I turned around and scanned her. "What?"

"Come with me."

My alarms were ringing. I clenched my fists and said, "Excuse me, I got to go."

"You really want to go with those people who killed your mother?"

I stared at her, wide eyes. "I don't know what you are talking about...."

I could see her smiling. "They will kill you too, just like they did with your mother. Alessandro is just like his father. He won't bat an eye when he kills you."

Alessandro...?

"You might know him as Ace." She said. "Come with me before it's too late."

I looked back to see Emily watching me intently. Dom also was back in the store again. His eyes. searched for me and when they finally saw me, a strange look came on his face. I turned around to see that the lady had vanished. Dom came to me and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." But I could feel something in the pocket of my jeans. So as soon as Dom turned his back on me, I put my hands into my pocket and took a crumpled piece of paper out. I opened the paper and it read:

Don't trust anyone there - J. L ; with a phone number scribbled at the bottom.

- - -

WELL J. L COMING THRU. IS SHE GOOD OR BAD?

Ace's full name....🌚
