Life with 8 brothers | ✔️

•°•°• Ch20: Quality Time •°•°•

Ace's POV 🔱

I just parked my car in front of my house and got out of it, throwing the keys to one of my men.

Today when I woke up I didn't feel like going to school so I decided to skip. Plus, I had some important stuff to do.

As I made my way up to my room I passed the living room and saw the asshole ,aka my uncle speaking with a man in low voice. I hid behind the wall and perked my ears up in an attempt to hear what they were saying.

"Sir they got away, but one of our men managed to shoot one of 'The King's' brothers before they killed him" The men in the black suit said.

"You idiots! You couldn't complete a job as simple as this!" My uncle hissed.

The men looked at the ground before my uncle added " What about their sister? She was home alone, didn't you at least kidnap her?"

When I heard them talking about Sophia I saw red. I clenched my jaw and curled my hand into a fist.

" No sir " The men said then gulped before quickly adding " Her brothers men were all around the mansion ,we couldn't have gotten her with all of these bodyguards around ".

My uncle cussed under his breath before dismissing the man. I entered the room at the same moment, when the man saw me his eyes widened in fear and he gulped before bowing his head in submission and exiting the room.

" Ace?" My uncle seemed surprised to see me. " What are you doing here?"

"It's my house" I said with a blank face " What are 'you' doing here?" I added emphasizing the 'you'.

" Oh nothing, I was just leaving " He said and headed to the door.

I raised my arms in front of him stopping him from leaving " What did I just hear? Are you using 'my men' to do your job? Do you want to set me up with ' The King's' ?" I said in between my clenched teeth.

"Oh I would never do that" He said faking hurt before adding" I just asked for their help" .

I scoffed at his lies and said "Right!".

" If I ever again know that you're doing something behind my back I'll kill you " I threatened him.

He gave me a sickening smirk , one which I wish i could erase, before saying " Ohh i see. Little Ace is all big and scary now " He dropped his smirk and replaced it with glare " Don't forget that if anything happens to me she'll die " He added poking my chest.

I clenched my jaw in anger that it would break if I clenched it a little bit more. I grabbed his finger and broke it before pushing him to the ground.

He screamed in pain before he laughed like a maniac " You're getting stronger huh?" He said the added " I'll let it slip this time, but next time I'll make sure you regret it".

I growled at him and motioned to my men, who barged in when they heard his girly scream, to take him away.

I sat on the couch grabbing my hair with frustration before sighing. I stayed like that for a couple of minutes and headed uo to the bathroom to have a nice shower and to think about what I should do next.

Sophia's POV ☁

People were giving me weird looks as I walked down the hall. It's probably because I look like a freaking zombie since I didn't get enough sleep yesterday.

It was now my break along with Cayden and Jane. Will was obviously absent, while Alex and Eljah had classes. We were sitting on the football's field grass while drinking whipped coffee.
