Ace's POV

I brought Alexia to my room and locked the door behind me. She looked at me confusion written all over her face.

"Why bring me here?" She asked and crossed her arms.

"We need to talk." I replied coldly.

"We do, don't we?" She asked

"I know I acted like a cold hearted—" I started but she cut me off. "Bitch? Asshole? Motherfucker? Jerk? Dick? Prick?"

"Shut up Woman." I let out. "Fammi finire, vuoi? quella tua lingua ti metterà nei guai."

[ Let me finish, will you? that tongue of yours will get you in trouble.]

"Get to the point." She hissed

"I wanted to apologise for acting the way I acted." I finally said. Look at me, Ace De Santis is apologising to a woman because of the way he acted. God why did I even do that?

"Apology noted. Acceptance still pending." She replied. Seriously woman?

"Get ready for the gala." I left her room. At least she's considering accepting My apology. Why the hell do I even care?

It was almost time for the gala, I went to my room and took a shower then got ready.

Alexia's POV

Wow. Ace De Santis came to apologise for acting like a Dick towards me. How touching.

I went to the bathroom, took a shower then wore my dress after doing my make-up and hair. I didn't wear much makeup as I don't like wearing it. My dress was silver in colour.

After that, I went downstairs to see Ace waiting for me. his eyes were locked on his phone, texting away while the others were talking.

"Lookkk at youuuuu" Arielle yelled when she saw me. Everyone turned around to look at me. She looked gorgeous also with her red dress.

"Holy shit." Zayn let out and Ace glared at him.

"You are gorgeous Cara mia!" Ace's mom said happily and I smiled at her.

I walked down to Ace and stood infront of him.

"You look... Beautiful" Ace stated.

"Thank you. You don't look too bad yourself" I replied and we walked to the car.

After 20 minutes, we arrived at the location. It was nice, well decorated and all.

The bodyguard asked us for our names to announce us. It's the rule.

"Your Name and the name of your partner?" He asked Ace.

"Ace De Santis and Alexia Skylar Hale" Ace replied coldly, the man nodded and let us enter. "Ace De Santis with Alexia Skylar Hale" He yelled and everyone stopped murmuring and looked at us.

"I hate this." Ace muttered under his breath. "Same"

People started talking again. This time, about me and Ace.

"Oh my god. He is hot"

"Look at Alexia Hale. She is so hot"

"Ace and his whore"

"I heard they are both ruthless. They are made for each other"

"They think we're deaf?" I asked Ace and rolled my eyes. "Just ignore them"

We made our way to my dad, my mother and of course, sister.

"Alexiaaa daughter! I missed you" My dad said and hugged me. "I missed you too, dad" I hugged him back

"Alexia sweetheart. You look beautiful!" My mom hugged me. "You too mom"

"Ace." My dad said and nodded his head.

"Mr Hale."

"Aceee. I missed youuu" Daniella said in an annoying voice. Wait.. What am I saying? Her voice was always annoying.

She was about to hug Ace when he said "touch me and you lose your hands." She immediately backed off.

Just then, a man spoke in the mic. "Get on the dance floor with your partner for a dance. We shall start after"

"Dance with me?" Daniella asked Ace. What the fuck woman? Am I jealous? Yes I am. Why? I don't know. Not that Ace will say yes or anything.

"I don't dance" Ace stated coldly to her and turned to me and placed his hand infront of me waiting for me to place mine on it. "May I have this dance, amore?"

"You may" I said and placed my hand on his.

"BITCH!" Daniella yelled earning a little slap in the head from my mother. I couldn't help but chuckle. With that, we made our way to the dance floor where everyone was slow dancing.
