Author POV:
Mini breath", Ace said to Iris as he put her in bed but it was not working she was crying hard. He hugged her but she tried to push him away but he just tightened his hold on her. Mini breath with me", he said trying to calm her down.
After 5 minutes she was sobbing sitting in Ace's lap but he was hugging her tight like his grip on her didn't loosen a bit more like tightened.
He looked at her. She was messed up, her hair was disheveled, her eyes red and glossy, red face, breathing hard and panting, trembling.
Ace palmed her face and made her look at him because she closed her eyes again. Look at me mini bear", he said, bringing his face close to her. Their faces were so close that their noses were touching each other.
Ace never dealt with crying girls but with Iris, he wanted to calm her down no matter what.
Mini look at me", he said. Iris opened her eyes. Their faces were so close that she could feel his breath on her. This whole time he was just staring at her then his eyes went to her lips which were so attention-grabbing that movement plumpy, pink, and a bit of black dots.
Why! Why do you always hurt me? First I got slapped if I got late, sick, took a leave whatever I do, and then some people tried to touch me and then you hurt me, calling me names god knows what they mean", she yelled at him.
At this moment she just let it out she didn't care how pathetic it looked she was tired of everything.
Why", this time she looked straight into his eyes and asked him but Ace was stuck. He didn't know what to do. Can't I deserve happiness not even a bit", her voice was low now.
her harsh breathing and her voice was the only thing that could be heard in the room. Ace's heart was beating fast and he was staring at the little girl who fucked up his mind, his heart every single thing.
It was 1 in the morning. Iris passed out in the bed while crying but Ace was sitting on the couch staring at the wall. In his life not any girl has made him feel things like that. He can't understand why he cares if she's hurt, happy, crying.
It should not affect him because all his life he is trained not to feel things like this.
After his parents died when he was 8 years old. His training started more like his hell started that day. His uncle trained him like a dog every single day.
And at the age of 18, he became the most feared underground mafia leader. His friends were against his decisions but still, they were with him in every stage.
Ace's eyes started to feel heavy and he fell asleep beside her hugging her little body close to him.
Ace POV:
I stirred in my sleep when I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Liam. What", I asked sleepily. It's already 6 you will be late for work big man", he said and left.
I sat up and looked for her but she was nowhere to be found. After I got freshen up I wore jeans and a black shirt. When I came downstairs Athena was smiling at me. But I saw Iris in the kitchen with Hudson. When I got near them I saw everyone sitting there, even Liam.
REALLY", I heard Hudson say. It will add sweetness into it if you put tomato in it and it will balance the sweetness. Perfect combo to eat with rice", Iris said kindly.
But when I came everyone became silent and she looked away. Bitch.
Iris", I called her. I don't care what others think about me right now because of last night, actually, I never cared. I pushed Felix and grabbed his chair and I heard Felix murmuring something.
Come here", I said again. She started to walk toward me very slowly. This girl always tests my patience so much. She stood in front of me, her head hung low. I placed my hand under her chin and made her look at me. Her cheeks look better than yesterday.
Are you okay?", I asked her involuntarily. In my life I never ask a girl like this God, fuck me.
Yes", she nodded. Mini bear did you eat something", She nodded again then she answered verbally. Such a good girl. Why don't you serve me today hmm", I said wanting to see her more.
Okay sir", she said and went to serve in the dining hall.
What was that?", Athena said. I raised my eyebrow to her. Mini bear", She said disgustingly. suits her", I said as a matter of fact. That's lame", she said. Didn't ask your opinion", I said and started to walk away.
Iris was serving me and her smell was making me calm. Her scent is so addictive and different. You look beautiful Mini", suddenly she choked and I started to pat her back. Gosh, this girl.
Mini are you okay", Felix said. Non chiamarla così(Don't call her that)", I said angrily. Tu la chiami così (you call her that)", Felix argued.
Beh, perché posso. Chiamala di nuovo con quel nome e guarda cosa succede(Well because I can. Call her again by that name and see what happens)", I said sternly.
He looked at me for seconds then started to eat his food. When I looked at Iris she was serving me faster than she usually does. Sit with me", I said.
Sir, I have work to do", she said awkwardly standing there. OK, but don't you think it's bad manners if someone compliments you and you don't respond to them", I said teasingly.
Yeah, sorry sir Thank you", she said unsurely and ran from there. I smiled looking at her till she got out of my sight. Then I started to eat my food.
After that, I left for work.
Boss", I nodded to my man as I was walking to the basement. When I got inside the basement Jack and James, who tried to touch my Mini last night, were sitting at the chair angrily. Looks like they didn't know who was in charge.
Who the fuck are you", James said. Well I want some information from both of you", I said calmly. What", Jack asked. Last night you tried to rape a girl about that.
They both looked at each other. No", James said. OK then I don't give second chances," I said walking to the table where I put my supplies. I grabbed some gloves because today it's going to be exotic.
I shot both of them in their knees so that they would not run anywhere.
*Gore*
I grabbed James and put him on one of the steel stretchers. Well, I wanted to try these and it looks like today is the day.
I strapped his hands and legs tightly so that he would not move.
OK, I grabbed the scalpel and started to cut his stomach. He was screaming. How satisfying. I took out his kidney and put it in the emesis basin. Well, it was easier than I thought.
James was on the verge of passing out. Then I stitched it well, not so good but it was OK.
When I looked at Jack he peed in his pants. Coward.
I did the same with Jack but then I started to cut his groin and tongue because he said he sniffed his neck. Fucking pathetic bitch. Eat it," I said referring to his fresh body parts which are on the floor.
I grabbed his groin from the floor and grabbed his jaw to open his mouth and pushed all of it inside. He threw up again.
After that, I drop a full bucket of hot boiling water on them. And rubbed rock salt on all the cutted areas. It hurts like hell.
Then I grabbed James who was dizzy by now and forced him to lick the blood from his so-called friend's body. He was licking the blood from his cutted salted chest.
I scoff at them, can't even fight back, and dare to touch a girl. Pathetic creatures. I told Ivan that after he finished licking throw them in the dark tunnel.
It was already 9 in the night by the time I arrived at the mansion. When I was at the entrance I noticed Iris was hopping like a rabbit in the front yard. When I got near to see what was up to this time. Then she stopped suddenly and I did too.
Then she got up and started to run inside the mansion. She checked the surroundings but didn't see a 6-foot man who was standing in front of the entrance.
She stopped as she saw me. Idiot. Come here piccola ragazza( little girl)," She stood in front of me, her head hung low but she looked fat suddenly. What are you hiding?
Nothing, everything is cool and good", She said smiling and laughing nervously. Then she tilted her to the right side and she smiled. Fucking hell she looked so fucking cute.
Then my eyes go down to her hoodie. It has mud on it. I snapped out of my trace and told her to get freshen up because she was dirty. She pouted and left from there. Gosh. She is a fucking kid for god sake Ace. But she is hiding something.
As I was going to my room Aiden asked why Iris is going into my room. Well, I didn't tell anyone she is staying in my room.
I told her to take my belongings," I said and left for my room. But he just stared at me suspiciously. Gosh, sometimes my friends are a pain in the ass.
When I entered my room, I was met with mud all over the floor. Iris get your ass here right now," I yelled furiously. But I heard weird sounds coming from the bathroom then she opened the door but she didn't come out fully.
Yes sir," she said sweetly her head sticking out of the bathroom door.
IRIS", I said again sternly. She came out looking fresh and clean. This time she looks different. Her hair was half up and half down naturally wavy and curly and a little bit wet.
She was wearing an old frock that hugged her body perfectly showcasing her curves, her prominent collarbones, medium big breast, and curvy waist. Fuck.
Sir", she said uncomfortably standing there. But god I was stuck in my thoughts all the time I had a sexy yet innocent girl in front of me. All the fucking time.
Iris POV:
I am dead. He is going to find out about the kit rabbit(baby rabbit). God, please help me. Suddenly he started to walk towards me. I closed the door behind me so that he would not listen to the rabbit's sounds.
He bent down and his face was dangerously close to me. He put my curly hair behind my ear and kissed my neck. I widened my eyes. I was going to push him. But he grabbed my hands and pinned them beside my head. Yeah, I was stuck.
You look different Mini", he said emotionlessly but his eyes look so dangerous. OK...," I said, breathing hard. My heart was beating so fast. If I move my lips will surely touch his for sure and I don't want to. My first kiss will not be with some stranger.
He was leaning forward and I whimpered. Ace", someone called and he also stood to his full height. THANK GOD.
What do you want Hudson?", Ace said irritatingly. Hudson said something and left, after a second Ace left the room looking angrily at me. What did I do?
Then I go into the bathroom to clean the baby rabbit I found in the park. Wounded. I cleaned it and Wrapped it in a towel. Then I started to clean the room because it was muddy.
It has been half an hour but Ace didn't come to the room. I shrugged off the thought that he was going to kiss me. Did he like me? What! NO! Iris, are you mad or what. He is like a god greek and I am an ugly potato in a road shop.
Suddenly I heard a squeal. Then I remembered the Rabbit. What did I do now? It is not moving anymore. THINK, THINK, THINK... Aiden, I can ask for help from him. Yeah, and he's not scary like everyone.
OK, Melinda said left corner and the last room. Maybe this is the room. I knocked at the door but it was not Aiden but his friend. Hey shortcake," He said in a weird tone. Creepy.
Hello, Sir Is Aiden available", really Iris it doesn't sound professional at all.
AIDEN," He screamed after some seconds Aiden came out. Hey...," Aiden said emotionlessly. I want your help," I said, looking at his feet nervously. Sure what is it", he said, smiling a little. I showed him the rabbit which was wrapped in big towels. It's not moving", I said.
He took it from me and examined it. Let's take it to Hudson," he said worryingly. He said he likes rabbits because his girlfriend calls him bunny. CUTE. I knew he will help me.
As we reached the room more like they reached sooner than me gosh do I walk slowly or do they have very long legs? But they were just standing at the doorway.
Hudson do you have something up here or not, I SAID SHE'S NOTHING THEN JUST A DUMB GIRL. I am not going to like some kid who's horrible like her and she's useless," OK they are talking definitely about me. Ouch.
Felix cleared his throat and this time Ace's eyes directly landed on me. And I looked away. I took a deep breath and it felt like someone was beating my chest.
Come on Iris don't be a fool. Do you think a man like him will be interested in you? Gosh NO one even proposed to you ever, you're ugly Iris.
Iris," Hudson called me. Yeah", I said. Where did you find this", he said referring to the rabbit. At the park", I said. I-I I forgot something in the room", I said and left from there.
