Ace Pov
I feel so helpless sitting here by your bedside looking at you in this state.
I'm sorry I didn't make it in time to protect you and your parents, I'm sorry you had to experience their death and I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you just now I said holding onto her hands.
Wow, this is new I've never said so much " sorry" in one sentence this is really new for me this doesn't happen especially because of my line of work I awkwardly laugh.
Forgive me for how I will be treating you from now on I said to her sleeping from much more serious this time.
I have to make you believe that I killed your parents, I have to make you hate me for your own safety because I know you are probably looking for the people who killed them
So to protect you I have to make you direct your revenge to me while I find the persons who did it and kill them. I don't want these delicate hands of yours to have blood on them and I don't want your mind to be tainted with the thought of it, that's why I must do it for you.
My hands have a lot of blood on them as it is, what more going to do I let out a little chuckle looking at her sleeping peacefully.
The people who did it are really dangerous, your parents got caught up in the wrong crowd but they didn't have much of a choice I guess seeing as though they wanted you to have the best of life but I guess it caught up to them in the end.
I have my suspicions but I can't let them know that I'm aware of who they are and what they're up to.
to protect you I have to keep you near but far at the same time I can't allow you to get close to me either. you might not remember me but when we were young our fathers were great friends so one day my father and I decided to visit I remember taking a walk outside because I wasn't interested but then in all the political talks so I decided I was going to go outside and look around.
I don't remember much in details but I remember looking out the gate and saw little girl being bullied by a group of boys upon our first encounter I protected you from those boys and after I looked at you crying with with a bruised arm and your doll in your hand you looked at me like I was your savior at that moment I vote to protect you.
but I have failed to do so but I promise you I will from now on, this time it's a bit different this time you won't see me as your hero but your enemy.
There was a knock on the door taking me out of my thoughts.
I immediately let go of Caroline's hands and I walk to the table in my room and poured myself a whiskey and replace the expression I had on my face earlier with a cold one, it's time to go back to my old self.
What's wrong with this person are they going to tear down my door can't they be patient.
Come in
I was right, with the way they flew open my door like they own it I guess they really wanted to tear it down.
Uncle we need to talk.
what is so urgent hunter that causes you to aggressively push open my door. I took a sip of my whiskey to call myself down because I can feel myself getting angry
Uncle I think it's unnecessary for Caroline to be your maid.
So that's her name I said turning around looking at Hunter surprise as if I didn't know that it was.
And why is that Hunter?
I will better be able to protect her than you, you're hardly around you're always out and about doing business.
So please Uncle gives her to me and let her be my maid.
No one can protect her better than me it's my job to protect her I thought angrily I began to squeeze the glass in my hands I had to calm myself down before I break it.
No, she will be my maid and that's final, do I make myself clear I said leaving no room for argument.
Yes sir
you know better than anyone to oppose me.
do remember that in the near future, now get out of my room. after a few seconds, I heard my door close.
Caroline Pov
Ah, my head hurts really bad where am I?
I thought to myself trying to sit up, I close my eye trying to recall what had happened.
Oh, I see you're awake
and as if he said a magic word I remembered everything.
Ahm, thank you for what you did earlier, thanks for standing up for me and protecting me.
he kept staring at me not seeing anything, after a few seconds he said something that shocked me.
You and I wanted to see you that was not my intention I wanted to watch them beat you to nothing but then I saw this as an opportunity to look like the savior, a good person to have a good name.
This guy is fucked up.
I didn't want to be suspected because someone in this house is investigating your parents' death and I didn't want them to catch up to me.
What? I ask confused.
you're probably confused right now well, it's a part of my good plan to make you suffer dear Caroline.
Well, you see your parents aren't alive anymore to finish what they were supposed to and that's where you come in Caroline they said smiling wickedly at me.
By the look on your face, you're probably wondering if I'm behind your parents' death.
Yes, I was he said turning around and pouring himself a brown color liquid I am assuming it was whiskey and he then turned to face me leaning on the table.
I feel so distracted I can't believe my parent's killer was right under my nose and to think I found him somewhat attractive I felt disgusted at myself.
As you might remember from now on you are now my maid, sleep if you will it will be good to have you near me easier to make you suffer, and for me to do whatever I want with you, after all, your mine now.
Sad, angry tears began to roll down my face, there was a bit of fear in my heart that he could kill me anytime he wants what's bitterness was most dominant. Anyone in their right mind would try to find a way to run away but that's not me he just made it easier for me being his maid might not be a bad idea it will be easier for me to make him pee and I will kill him even if it's the last thing I do.
That would be all for now.
get out of my bed and get yourself cleaned up you look like shit, after that come back here for further instructions about your role as my maid.
I got out of his bed, shame wanted to creep in but now is not the time for that before I walk through the door I heard him say
oh and Caroline don't you dare run away because if you do you will not like the consequences.
After I close the door behind me as if I couldn't control myself tears began to roll down my cheek I took off running and end up in a garden I sat on a nearby bench and let everything out.
A little while after I felt a presence sitting beside me
Caroline are you, all right?
Hunter my is a mess everything seems to be going wrong lately. Hunter began to console me why do you say that what's going on?
I lift up my head to look at him could I trust him? from the very first moment I came here he has been helping me I could hear Granny's voice in my head but I think Hunter is an exception.
And so I told him everything from the beginning about my parents about why I was sent here and that is confessed he killed my parents.
He hugs me I'm sorry you had to experience that but Caroline is a dangerous man he hurts a lot of people.
I know he's a psychopath that kills people for fun.
No for real he's the type of man that kills people and gets away with it. Caroline Ace runs the mafia.
Banana bunkers am I overthinking this revenge thing maybe I am biting off more than what I can choose a Mafia Boss.
He who's the largest Mafia in all of America.
Don't worry corline I will help you prove is guilty and get revenge for your parents it's full-time is put behind bars for his crimes.
