Ace's POV

A few minutes have passed.

We sat in the car with silence. I know he's upset. I'm not very good at guessing someone's emotions, but I can tell when that person is hurting, especially since it's me who usually hurts them.

I saw him trying so hard to be strong. I hate seeing people cry, it disgusts me, because I think it will only show how weak they are.

But when I saw tears falling from her cheeks, I didn't think she was weak. I don't know why I don't like to see her cry, I really want to take the pain away.

"Are you okay?" Those words came out of my lips before I could even think about it.

I saw her lips quiver as she shook her head, just looking out the window.

I felt a tightness in my chest when I saw him struggling not to cry. I don't like feeling this way.

******* out of my lips when I look at it.

"I shouldn't have invited you to meet your family today." I murmured slowly while rubbing my forehead tensely.

Sofia nodded in agreement.

"Did your brothers ignore closing their eyes when your father treated you like that?!" I finally asked.

He remained silent until he finally had the courage to answer.

"He did that to all of us. I didn't know that it was a 'violence' until I was in High School, I thought it was normal to be beaten up for the little things, maybe that's how dad raised us all." Answer, doubt.

"They're bastards." Angry me.

Sofia looked at me with a dislike look, as if she disapproved of what I said.

"Don't look at me like that." I growled at him.

I need to calm down. I'm still very excited from a few minutes ago, but somehow right now my emotions are very unstable.

"I may be a cruel person and I may do bad things as you know. But I promise, I will never let anyone hurt you. Do you understand?" I demand him to answer.

My attention turned to the broken handle on the car. Then I heard the sound of sobs.

I turned to the side to look at Sofia, and it was true that she was crying. He couldn't keep it all alone.

****

"Why don't I like to see her cry? It makes me uncomfortable." My inner.

I don't know what to do because I've never calmed anyone down before.

"I just want to sleep." He whined while wiping his tears.

Bizarrely.

He sleeps to avoid his problems, while I stay awake to fix my problems. We are completely opposite.

"You can sleep." My proposal while shrugging my shoulders.

I saw him leaning against the window as he closed his eyes. He finally fell asleep.

I played the phone while responding to some incoming E-mails. Instantly I felt tense.

I saw Sofia change her position and decided to lie on my lap.

Never before has anyone been this close to me. It's okay, I guess I can make an exception just this once.

My gaze was fixed as I watched Sofia fall asleep quietly. Her cheeks were still dry, I slowly rubbed my back along the tear stains on her cheeks.

I really wanted to take all the pain away with one touch, but I knew it wasn't that simple.

I stroked her strands of hair gently, as if it was a breakable item. She's beautiful, and I hate to admit it, I'd rather have an ugly wife, at least I don't want to marry her.

I stopped looking at him and refocused on my work.

I saw discomfort on her face as Sofia kept moving a little in her sleep. He must have had a nightmare. He furrowed his brows as his hands searched for something to hold onto.

I grabbed and held her hand gently. The frown on his forehead instantly faded, the expression on his face regained its calmness.

I looked at the hands of the two of us in chains, and I felt that the hands were very fitting when I held them. They fit and perfect.

I need to stop thinking about this girl. I can't let myself love anything.

I called Fiona, one of my whores. My mom hated it when I called them 'whores'.

"I'll be home in 10 minutes, until I get there you haven't come I'll kill you." My gertutuku on the phone.

"Of course Mr. Hernandez." Answer with flirtatious.

"If you whisper like that again, I'll break your jaw." I got angry while staring out the window.

"I'm sorry." He screamed at the phone.

I hung up on me. I rolled both balls of my eyes. It's hard to deal with him.

My attention was once again glued to Sofia. He kept holding my hand as his head moved on my lap.

"Suckhead." I took a deep breath, closing my eyes.

All I can think about is how not to get an erection. I breathed heavily as he stopped moving.

Just moving her hand alone had already made me tense and hot as cold as this? What if...

****

I breathe out slowly. Staring out the window, trying to take my mind off.

Damnit damnit! It was an excruciating 10-minute ride and I finally got out of the car.

I stepped out as I adjusted myself again.

"Yooo Ace, do you want me to take him to his room?" Kaylo asked, appearing suddenly out of nowhere.

"No, I'll do it myself." I said in a annoyed tone to him.

"Awh come on, I just want to help." Kaylo put a wicked grin on his face.

"Get in before I shoot you." My threat.

"Come-y"

Her words came to a halt when I pulled out my gun and stuck it on her forehead.

"I swear to God, I'll shoot you if you don't leave right now!" Shouted me furiously.

I saw Kaylo's face turn pale.

"Y-yes boss. I'm leaving now." He almost tripped while running away from me.

Fucking coward I thought while lifting Sofia up to my arm. I stepped very carefully because I didn't want to wake her up.

When I got to my room, I took Sofia to my room. I gently laid her on the bed.

I can't leave it in the guest room just in case Kaylo comes back and tries anything suspicious, plus I can lock this room.

I closed the door slowly. Fiona walked up the stairs.

"Hi boss." She smiles.

"Let's get this over with." I rolled my eyeballs lazily.

God, I hate this girl.
