Audry's POV

"Let me handle it,"

He stared into me. He gently kissed my lips. This time. I'm expecting to do the thing he wanted but he didn't.

He stopped kissing me and just stared at me. I looked at him curiously. My body frozed when he give that very first smile.

A true smile

"Your so special Audry. You don't deserve this. If I want to take you. Not here but somewhere fits how special you are to me," Ace

Before I can speak his lips stop it. He kissed me passionately. So slow and soft. As if something was in there.

Something like ...

Care

Like

Mahal...

"Are you leaving?" I will ask

"No. Why?" Ace

"Let's go somewhere,"

***

"Where are we?"

He looked like a child who had just seen a plane when we got out of his car. I requsted to him that it's better if we go with just the two of us.

I took him to an amusement park which I guessed he'd never been. And I was right.

"Trust me !! It's fun here!" I try

"It's just for kids! Hell! I won't go there!" He walked back to the car

"Common! It's not just for kids! Look! There are teenagers here too ohh. And some .. Couples," I pointed out to the group of young people who passed in front of us.

"Still I won't go there. It looks like a big version of PLAYGROUND!"

"THEN GO !!"

I turned to him and walked away. I can't drag him then force him instead. He will obey!

"Damn! I don't suit there!"

I felt his presence in the back. He hold my arms and make me look at him.

"Why would you care to those people out there? If you knew you could be happy here. Why would you listen to them? Why would you stop yourself from being happy just because of what they'll be going to say to you? This is our world. It's your life. Be happy just once in a while Ace and now that's it, "I thought

He sighed loudly and look around. Thinking for his next action. He looked at me again.

"Fine but we'll leave before 6," Ace

I smiled. He agreed !! I immediately pulled him inside. I was so happy that he didn't argue more. I pulled him on the roller coaster. Just wanna see what his reaction would be.

"Damn! I'm not going there!" He protested immediately

"You will haha,"

***

Whole day had passed and night came up. I sat on one of the benches here. He sat down next to me.

"We should go home," He whispered

I looked at him intently. He looks natural. No emotion but not cold.

"Didn't you enjoy it?" I will ask

It's now his turn to looked at me too. His smile sends butterflies to my stomach.

He's way to more handsome when he smiles ...

"I enjoy it so much Audry. It's not my first to be here but this time. It was one of my best memories. Thanks for the effort," He states

I smiled at me, "Everyone deserves to be happy,"

He hold my hand and kissed me on my forehead. To my nose. Until he reach my lips and kissed it softly.

"I don't regret choosing you,"

I smiled at him. We stay in comfortable silence. I stood up and said goodbye to C.R. him. He agreed and told me he'll stay there and when I come back we're go home.

I made my way to ladies room. I immediately entered one of the cubicles and did what I had to do. I washed my hands after and fixed my hair.

I remember his reactions yesterday. I'm actually laughing mentally on the roller coaster. I didn’t know that a guy like Ace, would shout even louder at me when on rides.

I laughed suddenly but it also disappeared suddenly when I stared at a human figure in black. Before I could scream he preceded me.

"Try to scream. I won't think twice of cutting your throat,"

She's a GIRL!

"W-what do you need from me ?!" I stepped backward

He closed the door of the c.r to make sure no one could enter. Her hazel eyes stared murdeously at me. I gasped as he pulled out the swiss knife under his black T-shirt. She's wearing a hood, mask, T-shirt and ripped jeans. All in Black.

"Who are you to the Mafia Boss?" She asks sharply

His slave?

I remained silent because I did not know what to answer. Questions filled my head.

What are we?

"Well. I see. Raveniel had found another sex toy. Poor you lady. He's just using you," she laughed devilishly

"What exactly do you want?" I put a brave face

"Tough one, eh? I'm just here to inform you that the man you brought here was not the dream man you'd dream. You don't know him. So you must stay on your place. You would never TAME the boss! It you're thinking you are not some other girls. You are Audry! The man out there was a cruel, manipulative, controlling and sex monster! He'll going to shoot you right away when he get what he wants. If I was, I would ran away from him to save my life, "She warned

"I don't need your concerns regarding how cruel he was! I know something deep inside him. He's a caring and good man! I know you're just doing this to keep me away from him! Well. Sorry to say but I would never walk away from him! "

"Are you that stupid? What do you expect from a Mafia Boss? Soft? Caring? YOU'RE ILLUSIONAL! You can't change him. He'll just going to use you so fuck off,"

"You fuck off! I'm going to do whatever I wanted to do. And besides. He owns me. Wherever I go he will eventually follow me. I refused to left him. Right now that I know something must have gone wrong before. I. Won't. Never. Leave. Him! "

She gritted her teeth. He would have spoken when there was a knock on the door.

"Audry? Are you okay there? What took you so long?" Ace

"S-just a moment!" I shout

"Why the hell is the door locked?" He asks

I looked again at the woman in front of me. Her hazel eyes were now blazing with fire.

"You will pay for this. Trust me. She won't never allow you to live once she knows you stick at him! This is not the last we're going to see each other Audry Fernandez!"

I opened the door, to reveal him. He immediately pulled me closer to him.

"What the happen? Why do you look so pale?" He asked worriedly

"N-no! Nothing. Can we go home now? I'm already tired," I plastered my tired smile

“Okay,” he states

We both sat comfortably inside the car while he's driving in comfortable silence. I closed my eyes and tried to erase from my mind what the woman had told me earlier.

*ring*ring*ring*

"Yes? ............ What the fuck happens now? ..… .... I'll be right away,"

I looked at Ace whose aura suddenly changed. His light mood suddenly vanished and changes back to his usual behavior.

Cold. Distant. Emotionless.

"Ace?" I whispered

His eyes were still locked into the road. But I know his mind was somewhere else. I sighed.

"Ace? Are you okay?" I will ask

"I'm okay. I'm going somewhere after I dropped you to the house," he replied

I sighed in frustration. It seems like just now ... He was so happy. That I'd finally saw his genuine smile but lost all that with just a simple call!

"What's up with your work that made you cold, Ace?" I suddenly blurt out

I almost slapped myself for asking that stupid question. I saw the change in his aura. It changes to annoyance.

"It's none of your business Audry!" He asked coldly

I felt hurt.

I was filled of curiousity and frustration. I want to know what's up! I know he's a mafia boss!

But I don't know what Maffia Boss do ...

The car stopped. Without a word I immediately got out of the car and went inside. I heard him leave quickly. I went straight to my room. I locked it up before I stumble into the soft sheets of it.

"He's so frustrating!" I growled

'Are you that stupid? What do you expect from a Mafia Boss? Soft? Caring? YOU'RE ILLUSIONAL! You can't change him. He'll just going to use you so fuck off '

I closed my eyes again and tried to calm my mind but still. Many question keeps me restless.

Do I really know Ace all too well?

He's a cold, controlling so distant. He'a also Mafia Boss and a billionaire. But damn! It's the only infos I knew about him!

I don't know if he had a family!

If he also has sisters and brothers!

What his favorite food!

I don't know anything about him! The woman may have been right earlier. I don't know Ace but I'm willing to know him more. But how?

When you know he's so aloof!

Before I could swallow so many questions in my mind I heard the loud ringing of my phone all over the room. I took the phone out of my purse and answered the call.

"Hello?"

[AUDRY!]

"Tristan? Why were you summoned?"

[I planned of pool party yesterday but I think my planned accidentally went true. Tomorrow night. 8 at my house]

"I'm not in the mood!" I protest

[Don't be killjoy Audry! And Ace is going. There's no way he'll leave you there!]

"I'll think about it...,"

I felt my eyes drop due to drowsiness and tiredness.

[And .... Don't forget to bring your friend. Celine]

***

I just stared at the house all day because Ace didn't come or even feel it. I wonder what he's doing right now. So I guessed I'm going there without him.

"Ma'am? You have a visitor,"

I got up from my seat and hurried to go outside. She stepped out of her car still in her army uniform making her looks like a hot army uniform model.

“Nice mansion Ace had,” Celine

"I miss you !!" I hugged him right away

A friendly hug that she'd never like. She hates being sweet. She hates being hug and kiss. I let go of her hug. I pulled him inside and seated him on one of the sofas there.

"What's your purpose of making me come here? I just want to sleep now Fernandez!" He filled me with a bored look

"You pool party?" I asked uneasy

"Of course you know I do! Stopped being like a child. You make me come here to ask if I can accompany you right? Because it looks like you're alone or I was invited by someone," She glared at him

"H-huh?"

"Nevermind. My answer is a big NO! I'd rather get on my bed and sleep than go to a party to act like an idiot. No! Never!"

"P-please come Celine! I swear! It'll be fun!"

"Fun? You are not even sure if you're going to fit in there! I know you more Fernandez! You always stay away from blastering speakers and just stay where you felt really comfortable. And it was TOTAL SILENCE!" Celine

The wind blew me away. He really knows everything I'm thinking. She's a total mindreader!

"Can't you see Celine? I'm totally confused now. There are many questions playing in my mind and I want to get rid of it in just one night! I don't want to go alone so please join me!" I pleaded

She sighed and leaned her back at the sofa. She eyes me straight to the bone.

"Ace has something to do with it, right?" Celine

Shot!

"Don't want to talk about it. Are you coming?"

"Do I have a choice?"

***

"Ready?" Celine asked me

I just wore a simple red dress that ends beneath my thigh and pair with 3 inches heels. Celine do my make up. I thank her for not putting too much.

"Let's go,"

Celine wore a maroon fitted dress that hugs her curvacious body. If you look at Celine. She was a very tough woman and boyish but she had actually had taste in fashion. Her hair was in a high ponytail emphasizing her gorgeous facial features.

We once got inside the limo we service since Ace was nowhere to be found. We waited until we reached Tristan's house. Music immediately reached our ears.

"Whose house is this?" Celine asked

Did I told you that Celine doesn't know that Tristan's house were the party takes place. Knowing that he would not consent.

"Ahmmm .... This was Tr ---,"

"Hey baby! It's been a long time,"
