Badboy Ace novel Chapter 65

Ryn's pov

Robert steps away from us and laughs without an ounce of emotion. "You know it surprised me that all the men I had sent to kill y'all ended up dead instead. Y'all were tough, I'll give y'all that."

He walks to Ace and sneers. "But I'm always one step ahead, isn't that right son?"

Ace glares at him but doesn't respond. From what I could see from where I was, the rope had cut through his flesh. It was red, raw and bleeding. It got worse when he kept tugging to get free.

A phone blares disturbing the silence. I looked at where the disturbance was and saw the man that was named Jace pulling out a phone from his pocket.

He answers it without looking at the caller.

("What the fuck do you want?")

"Che cazzo vuoi?" He hisses through the phone.

("I thought you had an eye on him. How the fuck did you make him slip away?")

"Credevo lo avessi d'occhio. Come cazzo hai fatto a farlo scivolare via?" He roars and brushed a hand through his strands.

I couldn't understand a word he was saying but by the way his body was rigid I knew he was getting bad news.

("That's why we don't let pussies do the job.")

"Ecco perché non lasciamo che le fighe facciano il lavoro." He yells and hangs up. His breathing was uneven as he looks at Robert in alert.

"Stark fucked up didn't he?" Robert questions without showing concern.

My head perks up at hearing the name that passes his lips. It couldn't be Captain Stark could it? Yes the man was a sleazy perverted bastard that annoyed me to a point that I dreamed of stabbing him.

But would he stoop so low in working with Robert? Then again it would explain why Robert was always one step ahead and why Stark was hell bent on taking Ace and I down.

Jace walks to him and speaks to him lowly. Robert's once laid-back form was now tense. I was happy that whatever news Jace had gotten had gotten under his skin. Robert lets out an irritated breath then curses.

"Go and take care of it." He hisses at Jace then turns around to face us. His face now emotionless whilst he speaks. "I'll stay here to have a little chat." He then smirks and motions for Jace to leave, who left in a hurry.

He advances towards us, more specifically me. Before I could let out a word his face was directly linked to mine as he reaches out and grips the nape of my head. He tugs on my strands harshly earning a painful yelp from me.
