Belissima's P.O.V

I woke up to the jerk of a plane,but it wasn't as violent as the ones I experienced before. I then realized I was on a hard surface and it was warm.

"Good morning,"I heard a deep husky voice say from above me.

"Morning sir" I said embarrassed of the position we were in.

"Should I set you down" he said. I nodded silently and he picked me up by the waist and put me in the seat next to him.

Memories from the night before came rushing back and immediately I turned as red as a tomato. One of the biggest and baddest mafia bosses had turned as gentle as a lamb just for me,he even let me sleep in his lap,I'm really heavy so I can only imagine how uncomfortable he got.

"Don't worry red you're not that heavy" he said interrupting my thoughts.

"how did you....."

"Well your face says it all, you're very readable? I don't even know if readable is even a word..."he said trailing off.

I didn't know what to say. Should I take it as an insult or not? if I take it as an insult what would I say to him? I sat in my thoughts when suddenly the pilot announced....

"We will be landing in 10 minutes, please fasten your seatbelts,"

I quickly fastened mine and saw that Ace hadn't. I looked at him and saw he was too lost in thought to hear what the pilot had announced.

"Sir, your seatbelt," I said while tapping his shoulder. He still didn't budge. I took in a deep breath and put my hand across his waist to reach the seat belt. Once I strapped him in properly,he magically snapped out of whatever trance he was in. He looked at me and gave me a smile while thanking me.

"Is the big bad mafia boss blushing?" The man in the back asked playfully.

"Shut up Fabrizio!" Ace said slightly embarrassed.

The plane touched down with no complications and soon I was off the dreaded thing. We got into a black SUV with tinted windows. When I entered I was awestruck. The inside had a small table filled with different snacks and foods. I took a deep breath to calm myself down,took a meat pie and ate it quietly.

We reached two huge golden gates and entered a smaller road that led to a huge mansion. No this was a castle! I observed the clean red-brick work, admiring the way the sun kissed it's exterior. I was lost in my thoughts when someone tapped my shoulder. It was Ace,he had opened the door for me and was waiting for me to get out. I got out of the car, slightly embarrassed but made sure to hide it. I walked up the beautiful marble stairs and got to the front door. It was made of light wood, with a beautiful flower design and a lion roaring in the center.

"Welcome to my humble abode," he said in a joyful tone.

Someone opened the door from the inside and out came a blue eyed woman, with a pointy nose,long raven black hair,that was dyed sky blue at the end. She wore a long mermaid dress which obviously was custom made for her hourglass body. Suddenly, I was pushed by her and fell onto the ground. I sat there in shock for a moment.

"Hey brother,I missed you sooo much," she said while smiling

"Gratziella what the fuck did you just do?"Ace said coldly

"The peasant was standing too close so I put her in her place," she said with an evil smirk on her face

His eyes became dark,I felt his aura become deadly. He walked over towards me and helped me up,i felt a sharp pain in my ankle and I let out a small whimper,shit,it's broken. I was about to continue walking when Ace swept me off my feet and carried me bridal style. I was feeling a bit embarrassed so I buried my face deep into Ace's chest,not minding the consequences that were to come later. He went up a wooden,semi-spiral staircase,I was too busy to take a look at it properly. He turned down a few corridors and entered a wing of the house. There was no one there. Soon I heard the click of a door and we entered a darkly decorated room,black and grey to be exact. He put me on the bed and I looked around. I remembered the ceiling I saw last time and looked up,there was a beautiful painting, a depiction of a prince who was surrounded by traitors,there was a light next to him and the prince was smiling at the light,it was beautiful,but it wasn't the painting I saw last time. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my ankle again,I looked down only to see Ace touching my ankle.

"Yep,it's definitely broken,"he stated.

He walked around the room, rummaging through draws. He finally found a white box with a grey hospital sign on it. He took out a bandaid and walked towards me.

"I can do it myself sir," I said quietly.

"My name is Ace,I think I like going by my name Belissima," he said sarcastically.

He then put the bandaid around my ankle,and I silently watched him.

"You can take a nap, I'll send someone to give you food. You can take the bed but if you aren't comfortable with it,you can take the couch. I won't be here tonight so you can make yourself at home, don't leave this room and if you get bored that door,"he said pointing to the the black door on the right.

"has both a TV and a liabary. Did I forget anything,"he said thinking to himself

"Oh! don't open the door for anyone except Mira or Fabrizio got it?" he asked. I nodded, gesturing a yes.

"The most important thing is,do not,under any circumstances put pressure on your foot" he finished.

I watched him exiting the room and quickly limped to the liabary,ready to get engrossed in the world of books.I opened the door and my mouth dropped to the floor. There were at least fifty shelves filled with books all the way to the roof. I looked to the left and there was a huge screen with red seats. I scanned endlessly through the books and found a book titled The vampire and his mate. I took it and lay down on the bed and started to read.

A/N: Ace is being so sweet. Why do you really think Gratziella is being mean is it really because Belissima is a Peasant? Or is there something else? Comment your answers.
