Chapter 88: [Bonus ]Ace's Story

Atlas leaned in his chair, staring at his brother. He seemed to be in a bad mood from the way his jaw was tensed.

"Okay…...what is going on? It's too early for you to be looking like you want to murder someone."

Atlas arched his brows as he said.

Ace raked his hand through his hair and sighed.

"I met Sofia at your place." He said coldly but Atlas recognize the edge in his brother's tone.

"Ah Sofia…your first love huh?" A mischievous glint passed through Atlas's eyes as he teased his brother.

Ace glared at Atlas who just smirked at him.

"Shut up."

Atlas chuckled, "Oh come on, Ace. Whether you want to admit it or not, you fell in love with Sofia. You were literally obsessed with her that you use Helena as her replacement because she reminded you of miss spoil brat."

Ace tensed at Helena's name. An awkward silence passed between the brothers because of Helena's name.

Atlas cleared his throat and continued, "Well why did you leave Sofia? I'm curious because I remember you nearly killed a guy because of her. Your obsessiveness and possessiveness are too great for you to just leave a woman you were clearly in love with. So, what happened?"

"Her dad…." Ace said in a low husky voice.

"Her dad? What is wrong with him?" Atlas asked, curiosity laced in his voice. Everyone knew Sofia's parents treated her like a princess and there is no way they would send a boy she clearly loves away. They just allowed her to do whatever she wanted.

"Her dad is a FBI agent. Agent W"

Atlas's eyes widened in shock. The shock left him uncertain how to proceed.

"What? I thought her dad was just a business man."

Ace shrugged, "It just a cover made by the FBI. No one will suspect the powerful Agent W is a businessman in this city."

Atlas nodded. This made more sense.

"How did you find out?" Atlas asked.

"He shot me once remember? I always remember the face of my attacker. Imagine my shock when I met him at a family dinner the next day and he was the father of the girl I was dating. It was too much risk. I know he suspected me too, because he grabbed my shoulder, the place he had shot during the dinner as if to confirm it was me. Fortunately, I can bear pain and not show any emotions if I don't want to."

Atlas nodded, "Then you're the only one who have seen Agent W's face and know his real identity?" Atlas asked surprised. It is believed those who sees Agent W's real face never live to tell the tale. The man was poison to the underworld and the fact that he was always wearing a human mask made it difficult to know his real identity.

Ace's lips curled up, "Hmm. The one and only. I placed a camcorder in his suit when we were fighting. That's how I found out about his identity. I blackmailed him using Sofia to stop investigating us. I also sent him proof the bombing wasn't us.

They were a lot going on in the mafia with the FBI suspecting us of bombing the airport even though it wasn't us. And I had lot of enemies who wanted to take control of the mafia. I had to leave to protect her. If something had happened to her, her father would have dug deeper and found out the truth about my identity. It will also put my men in danger. It was either her or the mafia."

Atlas nodded in understanding, "So you chose the mafia over love?"

Ace chuckled and shook his head, "No I chose her safety over love. I'm too dangerous for her spoiled sheltered princess life."

Atlas sighed, "What about Helena? What happened with her?"

"When I left Sofia. I was a mess for a whole year, then I met Helena. She was supposed to be a rebound but I fell in love with her not knowing she was a spy from the Silican family-our enemy."

"How did you find out?"

"Oh, I didn't. She told me herself while we were driving but it was too late. They had already sabotaged the car. She was the traitor we had been looking for. I was blinded by love I guess."

"What about the baby, was it yours?"

Ace shook his head, "No, she was also screwing the leader of the Silican family. I think she met him after I told her I was Maschera. Out of love, she told him about my real identity and they started using her to do their dirty work."

"How are you?" Atlas asked concern etched in his voice. He knew his brother was bad at expressing his emotions. Everything was bottled up and Helena was the only person who could get through him, now she had also betrayed him.

"Physically, never been better. Mentally? Well, that's a whole new thing. I feel torn and conflicted. I don't know if I should hate Helena or not. She might have betrayed me but the time with her was my happiest. She filled the void inside me with happiness and for that I can never hate her. Maybe it's karma for what I did to Sofia."

Ace chuckled lowly and raked his hands through his hair.

"So what are your plans now?"

Ace shrugged, "I don't have any plans. Just focus on the mafia and clean the rats. Also, I get revenge on the Silican. I nearly lost my legs in the accident. Fucking bastards."

"Well, I'm here if you need anything." Atlas offered.

"No. You have done enough when I wasn't around. Enjoy your life with your secretary. What happened to your fucking rules? Your secretary seriously?"

Atlas avoided his brother's gaze, "What? She is an attractive woman it's hard not to fall for her."

"No, she is not. She is the plainest woman I have seen in your life. Love really makes people blind I guess." Ace laughed.

"Huh? But I have been attracted to her since the first day I met her."

Ace raised his brows and nodded, "She seems like a good woman. I'm happy for you."

Atlas beamed and nodded, "She is."

"Aww look at you Atlas, already a lover boy huh?"

Atlas rolled his eyes at his brother, "Shut up!"

They stared at each other and broke into laughter.
