DICE

"Oh my God, I really thought one of you two was going to lose their head, and—" My wife's voice stopped abruptly as soon as she sighted me. I stood beside my Range Rover Sport, arms crossed around my chest as I waited for her to get to where I stood.

When I got back home after the ritual, I saw Greta at home, she was preparing to start going out, though. To go pick her up, like she said. I fired Greta on the spot, my main reason being that I wanted Liya to remember this forever and know that she was the reason the bodyguard lost her job. I hoped that it would hunt her forever.

Greta had tried to reason with me and give 101 reasons why I could not fire her just like that, but I had a couple of my men escort her out the very moment that I could not take hearing her voice anymore.

I had specifically told Liya not to ever leave the house without her bodyguard and she had decided to disobey. This would serve as a good consequence.

It was 7pm, and standing before Terrace Mall, waiting

    LILIYA Dice was mad at me. That was a given, no matter how much he tried to hide it. But it was not the only reason he seemed out of it. Or that was what I believed. He went straight into his room and I went straight to mine, but I could not as much as blink throughout the night. I could not stop thinking of what life could be with Dice forever. He was my best friend, and I did not mind spending the rest of my life with him but I could not just jump into a life with him without being sure of why my 22-year-old self felt it was better to escape him. I had chosen death over a life with him. I needed to be sure why exactly I had made that decision before wanting so much to do with him. I owed myself that much. The next morning, I was at the dining table having breakfast alone, when Dice came out through the hallway. I watched as he ended a call in front of me, then watched me for sometime before silently ordering a help to get his own food. I sat there and watched as he took a seat

    LILIYA "Now I'm convinced you look amazing in every color. This dress on you is totally fire." Pablo mused, clapping his hands together in glee. I blushed at his compliment.I was wearing a knee-length, corporate fitted red dress with cute short sleeves and a V-neckline. I completed the look with silver colored heels. It made me look so classy that I swooned over myself so much in front of the mirror before finally leaving my room."Thank you, Pablo. You look amazing too." I said to him, That was not just me being polite, though. It was an absolute truth. Pablo looked gorgeous everyday, and today was not an exception.He was a gay man, and quite unapologetic about it. He dressed to fit his femme nature and never failed to attract attention to himself whenever he stepped out. Today was no different. He wore a pink chiffon shirt with navy blue wide-leg tailored pants. He had on pink heels to go with it; they were not so high, just classy enough to be worn around a working environment.

    DICEBrandon had called me up earlier. He needed me to help the men arrange some containers which were to be shipped to another state. I did not tell Devin about it, nor did I plan to, because I knew the man would throw a tantrum about it.Naturally, it was only our men who were required to arrange containers, but the boss had the power to instruct a Made Man to join them if he saw it fit. It was why I did not question Brandon; he never really questioned me during my reign as his Mob Boss, after all.I headed to the warehouse after dropping off Liya's lunch. The moment I entered into the building and the men sighted me, they curtsied in greeting at once."How are you all doing?" I asked them, giving some of them firm handshakes. They glanced at each other, as if they would like to say something but for some reason, had to hold it back. I stared at them inquisitively and waited to see if they would spill anything…One of them finally spoke, "I believe everyone is doing fine, boss." He

    LILIYA I swallowed. He sounded like he really meant that. Dice really sounded very different when he was turned on, and for some reason , I wanted to hear him sound like that all the time… only for me. Wait, what? When did I start becoming jealous of who Dice got turned on for? Another squeeze of my shoulders caused me to bite my bottom lip in order to stifle back a moan, because goddamn, it felt so good. His hands felt so good on my shoulders, too good that I wished he would go down a bit more. Touch me in other places. It was so confusing with Dice. One moment I was sure I wanted his hands nowhere near me, and the next, I wanted his hands all over me. He kept his skilled hands on my shoulders, though. It was like he fully intended to punish me for all the days I said no to him, or maybe he was just innocently massaging me. I only wanted a massage anyways, I reminded myself. He kept kneading my shoulders, kept massaging the sore muscles there in such an experienced manner that ma

Both Dice and I had been invited.I was so happy for Papa, really. He had worked hard for this. He had dreamt of this position for so long, never failing to remind us on different intervals that he would eventually grasp the position. And he did.Yes, I had lost five years of my memories, but even before I lost them, Papa had been working for the position. He had always wanted it and talked about wanting it, long before I even started saying words. He had worked his way to the top, literally.I sat on my bed, legs crisscrossed as I decided to call him. I was excited, yet nervous. I could not remember the last time I phoned Papa. It was always him who called, just to inform me that he had paid for something I wanted, or to dish out one of his endless instructions to me.I highly doubted that he would pic

    DICE"Liya? Liya!" I continued to shake her until she jerked awake, sweat rolling down her forehead. I pulled her to my side and held her delicately, waiting until she could control her breath intakes before I would say anything.She had managed to pull me out of the sleep which she had induced on me herself, and though I was not very pleased because I knew I would not be going back to sleep anytime soon, I did not think I fancied sleep more than knowing what exactly had gotten Liya to scream so loudly. She had been shaking so violently, like she was attacking someone or something in her sleep. I was curious to know what all that was about; I had a feeling it had something to do with her memories…"Calm down. I'm here, princess. I'm right here, you're okay." I whispered, surprising myself by knowing what to tell her at a time like this. I blamed it on the numerous rom-coms she had made me watch back in Paris. I knew I should not have paid so much attention… but somehow, I was thankfu

    LILIYAI kept having nightmares; and the worst part of it all was that, these nightmares were not really nightmares. They had happened. I had bullied my best friend until we became strangers, just for some attention.I should have really died when I fell off that cliff. I really should have. I did not deserve to watch Dice act as if I meant the world to him, knowing what I had done. I would have been able to take it if he hated me or something, but I did not have the slightest idea on how to deal with him showing so much care for me.I had been sexually attracted to Dice for the longest… he had always been really handsome and knew the right words to say at all times. The girls tried to get his attention, but he did not seem to see them, so they resorted to bullying him for his nonchalance.I had joined in to bully him, because somehow I was one of those girls. I had a real crush on Dice back then and I did everything to make him notice me but he would always tell me how much of a sist

    LILIYA"Take the medication, princess.""I can't move my legs." I countered. There was nothing physically wrong with my legs, though. They worked pretty fine and could very well take me to the kitchen if I wanted to go, but mentally… I just could not do it."Let's go together?" His voice was softer, and he gazed into my eyes as he made the suggestion. It was something about the way he said it. I stood up on my feet and rolled my eyes at him first, before walking to the kitchen with one hand holding my phone close to my face, while the other held the pain medication.I placed the phone on the counter when I reached the kitchen, going to take a cup and fill it with water."This kitchenette looks good. Aleksander did something right for once." Dice spoke, then thought about it for a second and corrected himself, "Well, this is not the first time he has done something right, actually."I raised a brow. "Really?"I was gulping down the medicine now, whilst waiting for his response. He was

    EIGHT MONTHS LATER Liya had a tear rolling down her right cheek as she gazed at the child in her arms. He was hers. Perfect, a bundle of joy, and most of all, utterly and undeniably hers. She thought she would burst of happiness just by watching him wiggle and whimper in her arms. Was this the love of a mother they spoke of? Just a few hours ago, she thought she would definitely give up due to the amount of pain she was passing through while pushing the baby. Dice had held her hand while she pushed, encouraging her to push for him, and she tried, heaven knew she put in her last strength to get the baby out. She did it. He was here now, even if his dad wasn't, at the moment. She already missed him, and she wanted to see how proud he was of her, because it was always there in his eyes—how much he appreciated her strength. She had missed that look in his eyes, because she had fallen unconscious immediately after the baby was all the way out. The nurse said he had stepped out sometime

    LILIYADice immediately pressed his lips to mine, kissing me like I was his oxygen. I knew, because I felt that way too. I kissed him back with as much affection, pouring all my love into the single kiss.We kept going at it until I was nudged onto the bed, and I started to protest right away."Dice…""I know you're wet for me already, princess. Open those legs." He spoke hoarsely against my ear, and ever greedily, I forgot why I did not want this to happen in the first place and my legs were wide open in no time.Because I was not wearing any panties under my nightgown, his fingers met my most intimate part directly, causing him to groan."What a naughty girl…" He mulled, then slammed his middle finger inside me to the hilt. My lips parted in an ‘O’ and stayed like that as his long digit pumped in and out of me without mercy. I was already close to release, so, so close… I could already feel it…He pulled his finger out of my pussy, leaving me needy as fuck and I grabbed his hand, tr

    DICEI did not have a good feeling about leaving my wife alone with her bitter sister, Inessa. It was why I rushed to finish everything I had to promptly take care of on time, and before evening, I was on my home.As I drove, I could not help but recall that the contract was ending in a matter of days. It was something that I had been trying to avoid, but it was simply impossible to do so now. It was so close, and even if Liya had not spoken about leaving me in a while, I still had my worries. I could not imagine her leaving me. I just refused to think of it.I was almost close to my house when my phone rang. It was Ethan."Hello—""Boss, Henri! Trevor, actually or whatever. He is… the other men told me that he's inside your wife's room right now and he wants to… he's about to shoot her… I'm on my way upstairs, I—"Boom!And then the line went dead. A fucking gunshot.

    LILIYAI wanted to cry so bad, but I could not even bring myself to do it. Yet another person who did not want me. My own mother gave me away without thinking twice.I stared blankly at Inessa as she went on and on about our past, and it was only when she called my name loudly that I jerked back to present."Where did you go?" She asked me, rubbing my exposed arm in a comforting manner. I just smiled slowly, unable to quite get used to this side of my sister."I was here all along…""Was not." She retaliated, giving me the stink eye. I chuckled. "I should start the story over again. I was just telling you about the thing that led to me killing Ma's sister and you dare not pay attention?"Well, how could I not pay attention to that now?"Oh, I must have missed that. Tell me all about it."And so she did. Inessa loved to tell stories, and I already knew that asking her to repeat herself would not be much of a problem; she was chatty like that.She had killed Rosa's sister in self defens

    LILIYAWe returned home that same day, late at night.Dice and I had just finished taking a steamy shower together, in his room, and I was busy drying my hair with a hairdryer while standing in front of the vanity mirror when my phone beeped, indicating a new text message.I peered into the device on the table from where I stood. It was an email. The first person who came to mind was Papa. Yes, I got work emails a lot too, but for some reason I did not think that this email was work related.I had obviously been staring at the phone for a long period of time, because Dice was suddenly in front of me with his hand waving in front of my face.I blinked twice, then looked up at him. My eyes did not stay up for long, though. They trailed down his shirtless, taut body and wandered down…"My eyes are up here, princess." He taunted and I looked away from his body with the speed of light. He quietly chuckled at this and stepped forward to tilt my chin up so I was facing him. He continued, "Or

    LILIYA "She's lying, Papa. How could you believe her? She made up these evidences and you immediately believe her? She's useless and dumb! How could she know all these things all of a sudden?" Inessa yelled, and since I was done playing nice and trying to cover up her ass, I pulled out some more files and walked up to Papa, then chucked the laptop into his hands. "See for yourself, papa. Now, why would I lie about a thing like this?" I questioned and crossed my arms over my chest as I kept my eyes on Inessa. In no time, I could feel Dice's presence behind me and I naturally leaned back into him, causing him to wrap a protective arm around my waist. Rosa's eyes immediately went down to the hand wrapped around my waist and when she looked back up at me, I could not read the emotion on her face. She was not even defending her daughter, which shocked even Inessa. I could see her shock from the occasional glances she threw at her mother and squinted eyes from time to time. Rosa never loo

    LILIYA"After this truth, I will leave your lives forever. I know for a fact that it would make you all super happy if I left." I spoke with a lot of bitterness in my tone. Inessa rolled her eyes at once and spat,"Why don't you just get on with whatever you want to say and stop making a party out of it. As you can see, I'm all dressed to go out." She informed me, making a gesture towards her clothing. Dressed in a skimpy dress with heels and lot of jewelries to complete the dress, Inessa really looked like she had somewhere to be. But where could she be going, dressed like that? I shrugged in my head; it was not like that was any of my business. I only smiled, though the show of emotion did not reach my eyes. Only if Inessa knew that she would not be going anywhere for days if I revealed this truth.I did not try to keep them in suspense though, as my parents… or parent and his wife, already had gigantic frowns on their faces."I'll just get on with it." I spoke, then began to take

    DICEAll the air left my lungs as soon as Brandon said the words. I waited for sometime to see if he would take his words back, or laugh, anything that would show that he was not serious about this. But Brandon's expression remained the same, as serious as ever."What do you mean by this?" I asked him, my fingers rapping against the table as I struggled to remain calm. I could act like the position of a Mob Boss meant nothing to me as much as I wanted, but in truth, I knew that I totally abhorred watching Rex Corp lose more respect as the days passed, I hated watching the people complain every single day, I absolutely hated watching Rex Corp slowly crumble just because of my decision. It was not that I could choose taking back the position over wiping off Liya's family, but still.Brandon sighed, then ran his fingers through his hair and watched me for a few seconds, intently, like he was looking for something. I did not care what."I was wrong to take the position from you in the fi

    DICEShe did not protest when I lifted her off the ground and carried her in my arms, bridal style, moving towards the stairs. She was still sobbing into my shirt, and I did not dare interrupt. She had every right to let all her pain out, even if I personally felt that the people she was crying over weren't worth it one bit.It was the first time I had seen her break down completely; with such a defeated look in her eyes. The results had completely broken her spirit, and while I felt very bad for making her feel like this, I also knew that this was unavoidable, and she could either choose to know this now, or later. She would still learn of it one way or the other.We arrived at my room and after unlocking the door with one of my hands which was underneath her, I walked inside. Then, I laid Liya on my bed, covering her with the duvet before going over to the side to lie beside her.We just lay beside each other—her, avoiding my eyes like they were plagues and me, unable to take my eye
