Alexia Skylar Hale

After that little scene yesterday with my sister, Ace, his father and everyone else, things have been pretty quiet. For me.

They made a decision, my very own father and Ace's farher, that I will be moving to Ace's house and will work with him. I didn't have a say. Although, my answer would be no. I'd never want to work with Ace again. That man annoys the shit out of me even though he is fucking good looking.

"Alexia." My dad snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?" I asked

"You'll be leaving in a few minutes. Are you ready?" My dad asked again. Yeah, I'm leaving in a few minutes. To be honest, I love my dad but sometimes, his decisions sucks.

"Yes, dad. Everything's packed. Mom helped me last night. Is this really necessary? I can protect myself and protect you all. Why do I need to go?", I asked. It was the truth. Im a fucking assassin. I can very well protect myself and my family.

"Yes it is necessary. Alexia, I know you don't like him but at least, try to keep your differences apart and work with him until we've found whoever is messing with both of our families." My dad explained as he placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Fine" I sigh as my mom entered.

"Alexia. Be safe, ok?", My mom said as she hugged me.

"Aren't I always?", I joked and hugged her back. No, I'm not always safe. I've never been. I don't care about my life. I never did.

"Sir. A black SUV is here.", A guard came and said to my dad.

I guess this is where I go to Ace fucking De Santis's house. I'll unleash hell on him. Trust me.

"Bye, daughter. Call. Everyday.", my dad said as I took my suitcase and placed it in the car.

"Will do. Call me if anything is wrong. LIKE ANYTHING." I said seriously as I hugged them both once again and went in the car.

"Bye!" They yelled as I waved at them.

Here I come, Ace. Here I come.

After a good 20 minutes of road, the car finally stopped. I tried talking with the driver but he stayed quiet. Shy assholes.

I got out of the car and stood infront of a huge mansion. Hell, it was bigger than mine.

"Welcome. You're probably thinking if this is Mr De Santis home but its not. It's Mr De Santis's yes but all member, everyone who works with Mr De Santis stays in here. It's like his other family. So, welcome." The driver said to me.

"I thought you didn't know how to talk." I said rolling my eyes at him.

"I apologise. Mr De Santis told me not to talk to you and tell you everything I told you when you got here." He replied. Of course, he did.

I nodded as I walked inside. I opened the door and saw men walking around, shirtless. Some were on the couch watching TV.

"Well, well, well. Hello, gorgeous.", A random guy came and said to me as I admired him. He was hot but not as hot as Ace. FUCK. Why am I comparing him.. Ew....

"Hello.", I replied back, keeping a neutral face as I looked around.

"What a beautiful girl like you doing here?", The guy asked again. What it is with flirting. God. I wanna kill him.

I ignored him and walked pass him only to be grabbed and turned back by him again. Wrong move, fucker.

"I asked you a question, sweetheart." He said as he eyed me.

Everyone stopped doing whatever it is they were doing and looked at us.

Fucking creep.

"Didn't your mommy teach you that you shouldn't touch a woman without her permission?" I asked as I broke his hand.

"FUCK. BITCH" He yells out in pain.

"How can a man like you yell like a little bitch?" I said laughing. It's true, his yelling was like a girl.

"I'll kill you!!" He yelled as he tried to punch me but I dodged it.

"Okay. You ask for it." I sigh as it punched him and he hit the ground.

"That wasn't a way to treat a lady now, was it?" I added as I stood, looking at him on the ground with a bleeding nose.

"Who's next?", I asked as I eyed every guys in the room.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?" A deep voice said coming from upstairs. I'd recognise that voice anywhere. Ace.

"Well, Ace, you see... Your little bitch here wanted to act like the little bitch that he is and he pissed me off while doing so." I said as I walked and sat on the couch.

"And as you can see...." I added eyeing the man whose nose I just broke a while ago on the ground, "pissing me off has it's consequences" I continued as I relaxed on the couch. Fucking comfortable.

"Alexia." Ace said as he walked down the stairs and stood infront of me.

He is fucking perfect. Stop Alexia.

"Hmm?" I hummed as I stared at his body. Made by god himself. His eyes were beautiful, light grey. Damn. Could he be any hotter? SNAP OF IT!!

"Get up." He ordered.

"Excuse me? Why would I do that, hmm? This couch is comfortable as fuck." I replied back and closed my eyes.

He groaned and said "Everyone get your asses in the meeting room. NOW."

The second he said that, everyone rushed in a room.

"You too." He said to me as he went inside the room.

I'm working WITH HIM not FOR him and I'll make sure he understand what the fuck that means cause he clearly is having a small misunderstanding.

But, I'm curious so why not? Let's go in that meeting room. Whatever.

As soon as I entered, all eyes were on me.

"Do you guys want a picture?" I asked as I took a seat next to Ace.

"This seat is for the underboss." A guy said

"And I should care, why?" I asked

"He is sick. He won't be attending so, she can sit here." Ace stated and the guy nodded

"Why did you call a meeting, don?" The guy whose nose I broke earlier asked

"Are you questioning me?", Ace asked furiously

"N-no. I'm s-sorry", the guy replied shaking. It almost made me laugh. I had to bite my cheek in order not to. But I did smile.

"What's funny, amore?", Ace asked eyeing me. Amore, really?

"Nothing." I replied back quickly. His voice, damn.

"BITCH" The guy said starting at me.

"Really? Well, I wasn't the one crying on the floor a few minutes ago." I stated looking right back at him.

Before the guy had time to answer, Ace took out his gun and shot the guy in his head.

"Anyone else got something to say" Ace asked and no one dared to reply.

"So, as I was saying... Meet Alexia. Alexia Hale. Some might know her as the ghost. She'll be working with us for a while. Any questions?" Ace asked as he looked at me.

"You're all dismissed" he ordered as everyone left the room.

"So, I'll be staying here?", I asked curiously

"No. Sometimes, yes but most of the time, you'll be at my house." He replied

"okay" I let out as I left the room.
