"The Ma...Maa...Mafia?" "Yes the Mafia but please let me explain before you start freaking out" and he did he explained to everything to me from the moment he found out about it himself to him taking over, even to the business deal Elena's dad proposed him. "Ace i appreciate you telling me this but i cant put my kids in danger " "You leaving the state and being away from me is putting them in danger they are my heirs when my rivals found out i have them theyre going to come after to them. I cant let that happen" I immediately start to panic, someone coming after my kids ? i couldnt bear the thought. He notices im having a panic attack and he comes and tries to comfort me. "Being here with me you will never be in danger baby, i will devote my life to protect you and the kids" "Ace it's not that easy your mother will never accept it and you said it yourself you need to marry Elena" "f**k what my mother thinks your safety and well being along with my kids is the most important thing to me" Im not going to lie hearing him finally say something about his mother did make me feel important since the first time it wasnt like this. "So what do you propose on doing Ace?" "Move in with me, we dont have to be official just yet but i cant have you in a different state without my protection" "I cant take the kids away from my mother and i cant leave jasmine alone with the apartment " "Im sure Jasmine wouldnt mind moving in with Santi, and for your parents theyre more than welcomed to live here or you can regularly fly out to see them. I have many properties here where they can live or if none is of theyre liking i can purchase which ever one they like" "Ace you cant just buy a home for my parents" "Why not ?" "Because thats alot of money" "Theyre my kids grandparents, they helped raise them when i wasnt there, they were there for you when i couldnt be so its the least i can do. And dont worry about the money, that is no object for me. You and the kids will never need anything in this life" "I dont want the kids to be spoiled and ungrateful, we've lived a very simple life they have never been in the need for anything but they are not accustomed to the lavish life you live. "Aria they dont have to become spoiled and ungrateful for seeing the more expensive side of life, youve raised them well im just supplying monetarily. I have a lot of money, billions and what good does it do me if i cant share it with my kids" "I'm sorry it's just im not used to your lifestyle." "It's okay baby youll get used to it, with me you guys will never face any worries. Whatever that is mine is yours and my kids." "You know your mom is never going to accept this Ace, i cant have her disrespect me and try to make you believe her and you guys take my kids away. "Listen to me Aria, my mother will never disrespect you again, i was young and stupid and i will use every bit of my life to ask for your forgiveness." He says this as he strokes my face and wipes a tear rolling down. "I love you Aria and if you let me i will you show you how sorry i really am". All i could do was nod and he pulled me into a hug. Im terrified of what his mother will try to do, im scared of exposing my kids to this lifestyle but he's their father if there is anywhere where they are going to be safe its going to be with him.
We left the cafe after eating our breakfast, we talked about the kids and he continued to tell me about what his life has been as the leader. He asks me if i need anything from the shops since he knows i only bought a selected amount of items because my stay here wasnt supposed to be this long. We head to the mall and two cars have been following us every where we go. When we reach the mall i look at Ace and ask him why we're being followed. Panic began to grow inside of me at the thought of it possibly being one of Ace's enemies. "Dont worry baby they're my guards ill introduce you when we get back home." "okay" we head inside people immediately turn theyre heads i mean we're walking around with 4 body guards. We make our way around and get what i need he ends up buying me a whole new wardrobe after we argued for 15 mins about me not needing it but he won. He spent thousands of dollars in less than an hour and it didnt faze him one bit. He bought cribs, strollers, car seats, bottles everything the babies would need at his house. When we finally finished and went to his apartment. As soon as we walk in the aura of billionaire bachelor immediately hits you. Everything is black and grey very minimal decor but super elegant and expensive. He has the tv the size of a movie theater and the kitchen the size of one of those you see on cooking shows. He has 3 rooms in his apartment each one all give off the same vibe. His men bring in all the stuff while he sits on the couch with the babies who are evidently exhausted. "Thank you for buying all this stuff, you really didnt need to but i really do appreciate it." "No problem my love anything for you and these precious angles" "Lets put them in my bedroom so i can get their cribs together. " "Okay do you mind setting one up in our room i dont like them sleeping out of my site" He stares at me frozen, then a huge smile appears "What ? "i asked confused as to what has made him get all weird "Do you just realize what you have said?" still smiling. "About the cribs?" "No you said "our" room". Oh s**t i didnt even realize i had said that it just came out. I saw how much joy it brought to his face so i didnt know what to say all i know is that my face was as bright as a tomato. "Stop Ace lets get going you have alot to build" "Okay my love" he was smirking he knows why i was trying to avoid this conversation. But he got to building and trust me there was a ton of stuff and he did not complain once. It was nice seeing him so excited about the twins having somewhere in his home to sleep. I;m just scared of what this could bring us.
