I slowly opened my eyes to the sound of a conversation being held close to my room. Sitting up on my bed while rubbing off the sleep from my eyes, I tried to listen to what the whole thing was about.

I heard Jane's unmistakable bold voice say, "I only wanted to care for those kids!"

"By stealing them from their parents? And now that your dad wants to do something about it, you want to beg Dice to help you. Help you do what exactly? Continue stealing the babies?" That voice… it sounded a bit familiar, but I just did not know who exactly it belonged to.

"I don't know, okay? I don't know what exactly I want from Dice, but I would not mind if he would help me steal the babies. Do you think he would agree to that? I only want to protect the children from their horrible parents and you know that."

What? So this was what Jane did with the children that we had always heard rumors of her stealing? Who did she think she was, taking them away from their families like that? Some knight in

    DICEI told Jane and her obsessed boyfriend that they would have to return the babies to their rightful owners, despite the fact that Jane was begging me to help her. According to her, there were twin babies whom she felt were being maltreated by their parents. She wanted to take them to her orphanage, but the security around their parents' mansion was too tight.She needed me help to break into the building. I told her that I did not have much connections anymore, as I was no longer crowded with much security. They still wanted to flock around me, but rules were rules; they had to guard the new boss now.I dismissed them, after telling them to go meet Brandon if they needed security to break into the mansion. Sloan hastily said that Brandon would probably shoot the babies dead as his own way of help, and he told Jane to give up.She stormed out of my office after that, Sloan following after. I stood up too, heading towards Liya's room.When I pushed the door open, she whirled around

    LILIYA How was Dice so calm about this? He just held my hand as we walked out to the stairs, down and into the kitchen. Cecilia was facing a counter, but whirled around at once as we entered.And then she smiled, like she was not the most conniving bitch to ever grace the earth. I was thankful for the fact that I was not one of those girls who acted on impulse, or by now I would have been tearing this bitch's hair off her head."Boss! Liya! What is it that you both need? You should have rang for a help, I'm sure they would have been happy to serve you both." She spoke, her lips still spread in that deceitful smile. I could not believe I had trusted this woman with everything in me. It was at this moment that I realized that she had been able to make me fall for her and trust her so much because my real mother had been absent from my life and I needed that kind of motherly affection. She gave me a taste of how it felt like and I sharply became addicted; I could not help myself.If it

    LILIYACecilia was locked up, and Dice asked that I sent a message to Inessa, telling her to inform her husband that we had her husband under our roof. He maintained that Inessa knew where Henri was, no matter how much I argued it.Inessa replied immediately.INESSA: Tell hun to go ahead and kill the old hag if it would make him happy. I only care about my husband.I relayed her response to Dice, and he said he would handle it.Currently, I was counting the days until when this whole thing would be over. Not really looking forward to the day, but I still did a countdown in my head. I kept assuring myself every single time that I had the chance, that I was doing the right thing.I kept talking about how blood was thicker than water, refusing to admit to myself how much I knew I would not remain the same after my actions. I had my memories back now so I knew that Dice was going to hand over his position in his syndicate to someone else, because of me. I told myself that this was another

    DICE"She's been acting very differently lately. I know it has to do with her memories. I believe that you will tell me exactly what I need to hear." I finished with a nod that urged Doctor Sam to start talking. He mildly loosened his tie, and no matter how much he struggled to hide it, I could see the fear in his eyes. Hell, I could even smell it.He shifted in his chair which was opposite my office chair while his fingers tapped absentmindedly on the desk, before speaking, "I do not quite understand what you mean, Boss."I stared blankly at him, when in truth, I was raging inside. How many more people were lying to me?"I would hate to end our business together with a bullet to your throat, Doctor Sam. Will you tell me what I want to know, or do you want to see for yourself what I do to people who lie to me?" I asked with a calm I did not feel. That caused his face to pale, and he sat up on his chair, a head of sweat starting to form in his forehead. The room was quite the opposite

    LILIYAI could not stand. Actually, it was more of a 'I wouldn't dare to'.The doctor told him. After all I had said to the man, he still ended up spilling probably everything we spoke about to the very man who should not have known of it. How was I to defend myself now?"I know you are hearing me, Liya. Get up and answer me." Dice's voice was a literal roar now. I knew I could not pretend that I was deaf forever, so, still squatting, I responded, "There is nothing to answer."There was silence for sometime, and it was the sound of this silence that caused goosebumps to cover the entire skin of my back. The material I wore was silk, so I blamed my reaction on the cold."Liya. I do not want to have to pull you up myself, because I am not in the mood to be gentle. At all." He told me, the tone he used, familiar yet scary. It was that intimidating tone of his, the one that got anyone terrified before he could start trying to terrify them.I shook my head no, still squatting. We fell int

    LILIYADice hardly talked to me. But he was not ignoring me either. He looked like he was overworking himself and this time, more than I had ever seen him work. It made me think about the worst… a prominent thought being, could it be that he was no longer Mob Boss already? This thought hit me multiple times but every single time, I pushed it to the back of my mind. I was scared to think about the fact that Dice had probably given up his position for me already, yet I wanted to leave him. If he had truly stepped down, then I was sure that he was hoping that I would not leave. And God help me, I did not want to leave either.I sat at my office desk today, typing away at my laptop. Pablo had called in sick, and so it was just Louis and I in the room. We worked in silence for a tangible amount of time, but I caught him stealing a few glances at me because I looked really distracted; it could not even be hidden. I tried my best to ignore his inquisitive glances, until finally, Louis slamm

    LILIYA Inker and Jane watched Dice walk away, and when he was far off, they turned to me and lifted their brows inquisitively. I shrugged and said, "It's probably some documents he wants me to work on, you know how much of a workaholic he is."I walked towards my desk and arranged the files on the left side of the table, then turned back to face them. They had obviously believed the lie… which could also not be a lie, because I had a hunch, but I was not completely sure that those papers contained what I felt it would."Oh yeah, I understand. Sometimes I wonder why you chose to work here, of all places. Your dad has a branch here in New York, too." Inker recited the same boring anthem she was used to reciting. I ignored it, and instead, offered them seats next to mine.When I looked at Louis, his whole attention was on the laptop, but I was sure that he was listening in on the whole thing, and since he did not really like my friends, same with Pablo, I was sure that he would definit

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

    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
