ACE
Definite

"I want to tell you all something." Kai announced excitedly.

I saw Dante, Ice and Kaylo here. Dante together really came with his girlfriend, I'm sure she told us that she loved him. I'm happy for him.

"I don't know how you all got separated from our Mafia, either from the main branch or became affiliates." Kai reminded them.

"Even so, most certainly remember our rules." Kai smiled wickedly.

Everyone started chanting words that I thought were very strange.

"Mafia before love"

"Mafia before life"

"The only way out is to die"

"Dead." I screeched at Ace but he didn't even flinch, I looked at Ace, he didn't chant the slogan. I knew he was trying to imagine what would happen next.

"So after reading our rules, this is the time to go to the top of this year's event. To prove your allegiance, the event or task of the year as I wish to convey is ........." Kai looked at me and said, 'you won't survive' without a sound, but I know it's from the movement of his lips. Ace did not see his father speak because he was too deep in his thoughts.

"I want you to slit the throat of the man you brought here today. Remember our first rule is 'Mafia before love' So I want you guys to prove it." Kai's hiss demanded millions of people in this room.

Both balls of my eyes widened after hearing Ace's father's words.

"What kind of rules are they!" My inner.

I felt my heart stop for a moment, I almost fainted, feeling like I was going to throw up. I'm gonna be killed by Ace.

I could see even Ace was very surprised. All the women in this room were crying, afraid of what would happen to them.

Ace might help me.

"What if it doesn't." My inner speech is afraid.

"Well, it will start with..... Dante Firmanch." Kai announced while smiling very cynically.

"Oh shit." Ace was surprised, not believing what he heard.

I saw some people appear carrying a worn-out chair and putting a large tarp on the floor. Dante's girlfriend is dragged forcibly into a chair, she screams, and rebels trying to escape.

I don't want to watch this, my stomach's already churning wanting to vomit. Most of them brought prostitutes, but Dante, he brought the woman he loved.

Dante's face was already deathly pale as he held the knife I had guessed to be very sharp and stood in the middle of the room with the crowd around him, staring at all of us watching in the corner of the room. My jaw hardened as I saw the girl crying on the chair. Dante looked at the knife doubtfully.

"Do Dante!" Ice yelled at him. Everyone was silent so quietly that you could hear the sound of the clock ticking.

Dante tightened his grip on the knife and tried to calm himself down.

"He wouldn't really do it, would he!" Someone screeched.

Dante started walking towards her.

"Please Dante, please, don't do this." He begged, yelling while crying. He knew that running was not an option.

In less than a blink of an eye, Dante unsheathed the knife in the woman's throat. I flinched shut my eyes, Ace's hand holding the back of my head, forcing my face to hide in his chest. He didn't want me to see this but I think it's like an apology.

Blood spurted from the wound Dante made as the woman held onto his throat, gasping for breath. But in less than a minute, he was already lying on the floor.

A few men came in and took his body away as Dante stared at the blood on his hands.

"Without doubt." Kai clapped his hands, he's really a psychopath.

Everyone looks surprised.

"Next is Alex Adderson." Ice started walking.

Ice's real name is Alex? Why is he called Ice?

Without hesitation Ice took out a knife and slit the neck of the woman he was carrying, even before the woman had a chance to sit down. I whimpered in Ace's chest, hearing that scream. I could hear Ace's heart pounding as he put his hand on my head.

Ace didn't even say a word.

Some people started to be called. Men kill their women, and blood splashes everywhere.

"I'd be worried if I were you." Someone whispered in my ear. I turned it over, and saw Liz standing next to me.

"Why?" I looked at him nervously.

"Ace is famous for the most brutal killer." She's telling. Of course I know that. I'm going to die brutally at Ace's hands. May luck be on my side. My prayer in my heart.

"Next.ah my son, Ace Hernandez." Kai grinned towards us.

"No." I said softly, looking at Ace who was about to say something but two men held my arm before Ace had a chance to speak, pulling me forcefully into the chair. I didn't fight them, or scream. I know I can't stop this inevitable. Maybe this is how I should have died, at least not in my father's hands.

My heart always knew that my end would not be peaceful.

"It's an honor to watch Ace." A man cheered as Ace tensely walked behind the men.

Tears were already welling up in my eyes, I felt like crying when those people took me to the tarp, I had slipped on the blood. Only a cold expression was placed on my face as they sat me in that chair full of blood.

"No scream?" Kai sighed in distress.

"Ace, make him scream." Kai played him. Ace stared at the knife on the floor that had been covered in blood. He slowly leaned over and picked it up, my heart beating so fast at the moment.

Ace and I stared at each other, I did not show any emotion on my face, the only thing that signified my sadness was a drop of tears flowing slowly over my cheeks.

I could see Ace's eyes widening as he walked towards me, taking a deep breath.

"It's okay." I nodded with tears still dripping.

"You have to do it, I understand." I nodded again as he approached.

"Terima kasih untuk kenangan yang singkat ini." Momen dimana ketika Ace membela dan menyelamatkanku berputar di ingatanku saat ini. Bibirku bergetar saat dia berdiri tepat di depan ku. Aku melihat matanya menjadi mengkilap. Apakah Ace menangis?

Ace put a knife to my neck. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, preparing for the worst.

"Why is it so long?" I heard Ice screaming. "You are Ace Hernandez." Ice shouted at him.

Ace clenched his free fingers, pressing the knife against my neck. I felt blood dripping on my skin.

"Why hasn't he done it yet?" I said in my heart.

I opened my eyes to see his jaw clenching and his eyebrows frowning, I put my hand over his hand and urged him to do so.

Everyone watched with a look of disbelief at Ace. Ace is known as the devil. Cruel, Cold, Sharp, and Emotionless.

I knew Ace was hesitant to swing the knife around my neck. I re-enforce his grip.

"Do it." Everyone started to encourage him. Ace was overwhelmed, I could see it on his face.

"Do it." My whisper. Ace looked pale as he realized he couldn't do it.

"Ace, what are you doing." her father whispered to her.

"I can't do it!" Ace threw the knife to the ground in frustration and he took a few steps back from me. Everyone gasped in shock at Ace who was standing in the middle of the room with anger controlling him. Can't believe an Ace didn't do what they thought was easy for an Ace Hernandez.

"You have no choice." Kai growled furiously at her.

"Sofia's up now, we're gone." Ace said in a very cold voice, not caring about his father's words.

"Ace Hernandez!" His father sizzled at him.

I stood up from the chair and Ace reached out to me, and I grabbed his hand, trying not to slip on the blood.

Ace and I walked out of that cursed room, somehow we were both still alive.
