Author's POV
Ace looked at the girl who was walking with him towards the car. He didn't liked how Xavier behaved with her but still he doesn't know that she is not Natasha but Sarah. Ace felt bad seeing her tears and ruined makeup, whatever happened was not her fault. Ace knows how manipulative her father is, after all he is a mafia leader. He couldn't understand why he gave Sarah his business, is he really a caring father or it was just a way to shut her mouth.
Sarah's eyes were still glossy, she was trying to digest all the information she just got. She said all those things bravely in front of her father but in reality she was shaken from within. Since childhood she was surrounded by the criminals and she had no idea about it. She was constantly thinking how her life will be with Xavier. She was so engulfed in her thoughts that she stumbled due to her high heels and long dress.
Ace quickly held her by arms making her stand.
"Careful..."
He gently said, she nodded and thanked him and ace quickly maintained reasonable distance from her.
He handed her his handkerchief making her look at him confused.
"Take this... Your mascara is ruined..."
He said nervously, being gentle was not his way.
"Ohh... Thank you..."
She quickly took it.
He opened the car door for her to get in. Sarah got in and wiped her face, she looked at herself in tinted windows and scowled, she was total mess.
Driver started the car and ace sat beside her as another bodyguard was sitting in front passenger seat.
Ace introduced her with them first.
"And I am ace. Xavier's right hand man and friend too. If you need anything or have some problem you can call me anytime, I'll be there..."
He said in friendly tone, trying to make her comfortable as much as he can.
"Okay."
She said with small smile.
"Ace can I ask you something ?..."
Ace looked at her and nodded with smile.
"Anything..."
"He didn't wanted to marry me... Did he?..."
She asked straight forward.
"No he didn't but..."
Ace quickly said.
"but It's not about you. He didn't wanted to marry at all. He is a very private man and Don't like anyone's interference in his life."
"Will he hurt me?"
Her questions took ace off-guard.
"Umm... Sarah I don't know what Xavier can do but I advise you to be careful around him. Xavier is very unpredictable, I can't say anything about this. just make sure not to piss him off."
He said hesitantly.
"Means he will hurt me!..."
She stated looking away.
"May be you can become exception. Don't judge him just like that, please try to know him. May be you could change Xavier, he is not that bad..."
Ace said with desperation.
"It's all philosophical things ace. I can't change anyone specially cruel mafia boss. It only happens in movies and all those things. I can't change him neither I want to..."
She said coldly.
Ace's lips twitched upward.
"You never know..."
He said mischievously and Sarah ignored him not wanting to find any meaning in his words.
Driver pulled in front of the palace like mansion. Ace helped Sarah to get out of the car like a gentleman as she was having troubles with her gown.
"I didn't expected a gentleman like you in the mafia..."
Sarah Said to ace making him grin.
"I am a gentleman but only for beautiful ladies..."
He winked making her blush. She wasn't used to compliments like this. People called her smart, brave but never beautiful. She has never carried herself like that.
"Do you kill people ace ?..."
She asked and ace Smirked.
"We are mafia Sarah. That's our thing. But we don't hurt innocents, children or women."
He assured her but still she was very uncomfortable with the thought that they kill people.
Sarah looked at the big mansion and instantly got impressed by its beauty. Everything was designed with unique color combinations. Shiny marble floor and expensive paintings. It was screaming royalty.
Sarah saw one maid coming towards her.
"Hello ma'am. I'll guide you to your room please come with me..."
She politely said.
Ace frowned at her.
"Which room ?..."
He was worried that Xavier might do something to hurt her. Either physically or emotionally but He was sure that he won't hurt her physically.
He is yet to know that she is not Natasha.
"Uhh... Sir... Boss has instructed us to give her one of the guest room. He don't want to share bedroom with her..."
She awkwardly answered.
Sarah was listening Everything. One part of her got sad because her own husband don't want to see her and other part was extremely happy that she don't have to face that monster.
"What the hell... He can't do this."
Ace sneered thinking about Sarah's feelings.
"Ace..."
Sarah quickly said and he looked at her.
"I will be fine in the guest room. I don't want to be near him either. I don't trust him. Please..."
Ace judged her expressions and realized how desperate she sounds.
"Are you sure?..."
"Yes, yes... Hundred percent sure. I don't want to be with him..."
She quickly said.
Ace nodded in understanding and asked maid to guide her. He told driver to drop her luggage in her bedroom.
Sarah sat on vanity chair and wiped her makeup.
"Such a lovely day it was..."
She rolled her eyes sighing.
She showered and wore her pajama's.
"I never thought that my wedding night will be like this..."
She shook her head.
"And I never thought that I would be this much happy that my husband didn't show up. At least I got the whole bed for myself..."
She giggled and plopped down on the bed, she was happy that nothing is happening like she imagined. it will be better to sleep alone rather than having sex with criminal.
She was about to sleep but her eyes snapped open.
"Ohh medicines... Dang it..."
Sarah opened her bag and took out the bottle. She looked at the night stand but there was no water. Tossing the bottle on the bed she head out to grab water bottle.
She tried to find way towards the kitchen as she was new and had no idea about the mansion.
Surprisingly lights were on and she saw two guards patrolling in the living room.
"Guards inside the house. Seriously ?... What does he think of himself... The president?..."
She mocked.
"Excuse me?..."
She grabbed the attention of one guard.
He looked at her up and down and quickly recognized as Ace has warned everyone to be respectful towards her.
"Yes Mrs. king? ..."
She cringed at her new name.
"Sarah would be fine and if not then, miss... Please don't call me that. And could you please tell me the way towards the kitchen..."
"Yes off course Mrs. king... Go straight then first right..."
The guard completely ignored her words about the name thing.
Sarah sighed looking at him, that Mountain like guy who answer like robot was impossible to break so She thanked him and walked away.
She was near staircase when she heard moaning voices. She clasped her mouth with her hands and quickly hid in the corner. Her newlywed husband was literally eating out some brunette and she was moaning which was really disgusting, it sounded so fake. Her dress was torn showing her cleavage and she was unbuttoning his shirt desperately.
'Get a room you people...'
Sarah mumbled to herself still hiding.
'ohh lord my ears...'
She cringed at the scene in front of her.
'how can someone have sex with a murderer. What if he kills you after sex...'
She gulped and shook her head remembering the scene where Xavier killed that man.
"Ma'am what are you__"
"Shhh...."
Sarah quickly placed hand on maids mouth.
"Water... I need water."
Maid nodded with wide eyes and with muffled mouth. She raised her hands and showed her the water bottle.
"Ohhh thanks..."
Sarah took that bottle and literary ran away from there.
That maid looked at her weirdly.
"Why isn't she angry... Her husband is fucking someone else in front of her and all she care about is water. God! rich people are weird..."
she rolled her eyes and walked away.
Sarah took her medicines and try to fall asleep.
"Sleep Sarah... It's a new beginning tomorrow..."
She sighed.

She didn't realized when she became workaholic. She got ready for the office wearing her maroon color shirt and black pencil skirt with blazer. "I am losing my curves...

Taking of her glasses she wore lenses and loosened her hair from ponytail setting them free. She also fixed the appointment for herself in the salon. It was six in the morning when she head out. "Hey!..." She heard familiar voice. "Good morning Ace..." She smiled and he greeted back. "Where are you going ?..." He asked looking her all ready. "Office... I hope I am allowed to do that?..."

"It was good ace... What about you?..." "Same... Exciting. Killing and torturing people..." Ace winked. Her expressions turned horrified. "Ace please..." "Ok ok I am sorry... I was just messing around. Why are you so afraid of violence?..." he asked curiously. "Not violence but I have a phobia of blood. I can't look at it___ it's just gross..." She shivered remembering the same scene and brutal act of Xavier. He was still giving her nightmares. Ace chuckled. "The daughter of mafia don and still this kind of phobia... Interesting..."

Author's pov "I am feeling like a shit right now but only few things okay?..." Ace warned her and she nodded assuring him. "Fuck it's feeling like I am betraying him..." he said but he was sure that it might bring some change in their life. "My father was Xavier's father's right hand and I got to know this from him. Actually Xavier was deeply in love with some girl in his college days and she broke up with him. I don't know what's her name is or how she looks. Her betrayal broke Xavier, he was in depression for years and started staying alone. his father started his training and He became brutal and heartless, like he turn his pain in power. Now he don't believe in love and don't want anyone to come near him..." Sarah's face turned sad. "Ohh... That's sad. I didn't know that love can be that fatal. Is that why he is so heartless?..."

Her so called husband was covered in blood looking at her face like he has seen a ghost. all she wanted to do is run but her body was frozen in shock. Nausea hit her when he touched her cheek with his bloody hand. She quickly turned her head and puked all her dinner out. Thanks to her quick movements otherwise she would have done it on Xavier. She tried to stand but her world was already spinning and the fear of mafia husband wasn't helping either. She couldn't understand why he was looking at her like that, he didn't even looked disgusted by her vomiting. Her body left all the energy and she collapsed on the ground. "What the fuck did you do Xavier ?..." After finishing his cal

"Hey, be careful... You should rest. I called your PA and he said you don't have anything important to take care for now so I think you should take a day off. After last night___" Sarah's mood turned sour. "Thanks but I am fine ace..." She said nonchalantly and ran towards her car, Ace was confused by her behavior. Whatever happened last night and whatever she saw, after that she wasn't ready to stay in this mansion. She looked out of the car window and adrenaline rushed in her body when she saw those scary grey orbs which were staring straight in her soul. Xavier was standing in the garden with hi

He usually never pay attention to anyone or simply eat his breakfast in his bedroom or office but today he was purposely eating In the dining hall. Maids served breakfast but the special person for whom he was waiting was nowhere to be seen. He was thinking where is she and why she haven't come yet. Suddenly he was interrupted by the voice of Richard, his uncle. "Hey boys!..." He greeted Xavier and Ace. Ace greeted back while Xavier just gave him a nod. "Why are you here so early today..." Ace asked casually when Richard sat beside him. "Why ?... Can't I come to see my nephew, how is it going married man?..." Richard asked teasingly. "Where is Sarah by the way... We didn't get the chance to meet..." "She went to office." Ace shrugged and Xavier's hold tightened on his spoon, he was waiting for her and what made him mad that his right hand man knows where is she and not her husband. "Excuse me, who is t
