IN THE CAPO'S BED Are we mourning?
LILITH POVI groaned, turning around on the bed. I had been awake for a while but didn't want to stand up from the bed or even open my eyes. It wasn't because of the comfort. It gave little to no comfort because I turned all night, barely asleep.I was still in bed even though it was noon because I didn't want to face reality just yet.I didn't want to meet with Giovanni, who had come to the door twice, but Casey had sent him off, saying I was asleep, along with every other person.I was sure everyone already knew what was happening. Casey and Christie had already eavesdropped, so there wasn't any reason to tell them, but the boys—someone might have gossiped about them.It could be either Casey or Lilith. Or maybe the both of them. I didn't trust the two girls not to snitch at a time like this.My mother? I wondered if she knew what was happening or maybe she didn't want to butt into my business. She had been quiet lately.Even though she was very much present around the house, we did

LILITH POVI was on my third cup of water, while watching Casey and Christie chug down two cans of beer.We were at a luxurious bar. It was my first time in here and the girl had forced me out of the room to bring me here. Although I had declined initially, I was glad I had come here.It wasn't just about the fun and cozy atmosphere, it was because I wanted to forget Giovanni. Although nothing was happening to make me do so right now.Everywhere I glanced at, I felt like I was staring at him. Like, I could feel his gaze on me. I didn't think he was here.No. He wouldn't have followed me here and there was no way in hell that Casey and Christie would have brought me to the same place as him.Anyway, I didn't trust them. They could try to make me speak with him but that was the last thing going on in my mind."Hey pretty," A tall handsome man sat in the vacant seat next to me. His blond hair was cropped close to his head, bushy brow that added to his overall attractive, angular face, an

GIOVANNI POV"She's hot," Jason said as he returned."Careful if I were you," Theo murmured.I narrowed my eyes at Jason as he continued speaking."She smells really nice. Too nice and natural. I almost was tempted by not only her beauty but that intriguing scent and—""Would you be quiet, or do I knock out your teeth?"Jason was the youngest of all of us. It should be Xanthos, but he was a few months younger than Xanthos. He wasn't a part of the gang although he tried to insert himself in things that didn't concern him.I met him at the same time I met Christie; he has been clingy ever since. I didn't even want to talk about the fact that he went around introducing himself to people as my cousin or even falling into one trouble or the other and having me clean up his mess."She looks pissed," Jason frowned, and I glanced at where Lilith was.She was now standing and speaking to Casey and Christie. I didn't need to be near them to understand what they were discussing. Also, she was in

LILITH POVTheo didn't die. I was sure of that. Of course, he had been shot at. I saw him go down. But I didn't see any blood. Someone wouldn't die without seeing any blood from a gunshot wound, right?My suspicion was confirmed when Theo burst into the room, and a relieved breath spread through me.He was alive.I turned to look at him, but Jared held onto me tightly, whispering, "Keep still,, or you'll have your throat ripped out of your damned tiny neck."I bite my lower lip, doing as he said. My focus was on Giovanni and things going on around me.I could read the fear on Christie's and Casey's faces.Giovanni was furious, even though he was trying to keep his anger in check. I wondered if he was mad at me for leaving the bar and becoming bait to Jared or mad at Jared for putting a knife on my neck.The boys had the same expression as him. Even though they said nothing. Also, they didn't move from where they were standing. I guessed they were awaiting instructions from Giovanni be

LILITH POV"How can you put yourself in danger?!" Giovanni grunted.We were already home, and I was tending to the bruise and injury he had sustained.It was just a slight cut on his palm and then bruises on his face from the punches, I guess."Why did you leave the safety of the bar?""How do I know the area was unsafe? It wasn't as if I knew I was going to walk into a disaster!""Of course, you didn't," Giovanni murmured, frowning. "Then you should have stayed with your friends all through. At least, they were smart enough not to leave the bar knowing they can be endangered.""Smart enough?" I snorted, putting down the ointment and glaring at him.I stood from the bed, creating as much distance between us as possible."I didn't mean for it to come out that way," Giovanni grimaced, using his good hand to brush his hair."You meant it," I pointed out. "All you've ever done was to make me look stupid. Stupid for getting married to you when you went around to frolic. You even have a blo
Last Updated : 2025-03-16IN THE CAPO'S BED Why do you care?
LILITH POV"So?" Casey drawled, raising her eyebrow as I came down the last step of the staircase.I ignored her eyes, which were zeroed in on me while making my way toward the kitchen. I knew what was going on in her head, but I didn't want her to ask me anything—at least not in my mom's presence. She could do that while we discussed it later."Morning, Mom," I greeted."You look quite excited this morning," my mother observed."I have always been excited," I murmured, looking through the fridge.I turned to my mother, wondering what she was about to cook as she kept bringing out things from the top cabinet.I frowned, staring at her face. "Are you alright?" I asked her. She had dark circles under her eyes like she hadn't been sleeping for a while.She looked exhausted, too, thin and pale. I had seen her yesterday and even the day before, but she didn't look as awful as this. Or maybe I hadn't been paying attention at all."I am fine," my mother said with a weak smile."No, you're no
Last Updated : 2025-03-18IN THE CAPO'S BED It's terrible
LILITH POVI paced the hallway, my breath coming out in a short gasp. I placed my hand on my pounding chest, keeping my gaze fixed on the door as I moved around.It was close to an hour, and none of the doctors had stepped out of the room my mother was in. I wanted to be in there with her. To see what they were doing and understand it, but the doctor had told me it would be best to stay outside."Best indeed," I muttered, glaring."You should sit. You'll tire yourself," Casey patted the space next to her.I looked at her, shaking my head. "I am fine this way."There was no way I'd be able to sit knowing my mother was still in there. I didn't even know the state she was in! How could I be relaxed?!"Well, you're not helping matters," Casey pointed out."What is not helping matters is them asking me to stay outside. What the hell? She's my mother and not theirs! I need to know what they're doing to her or if they're even attending to her at all."This wasn't a quack hospital. I knew the
Last Updated : 2025-03-18IN THE CAPO'S BED It's a promise
LILITH POVGiovanni watched me as I munched on the toast. I didn't realize I was hungry until he forced me out of the hospital and to the nearest café. Thanks to Casey for being a big mouth and telling Giovanni that I needed a break and wouldn't eat anything."What?" I murmured, taking a sip from my coffee cup.He had been staring at me. I wondered if there was something on my face that he was trying to point out. I didn't freshen up before leaving the house. I doubted anyone in my shoes would have thought of doing that. Besides, I was with Giovanni. I doubted there was a need for me to start looking all nice. And he wasn't judging me. Maybe he was.I could care later after my mother was out of the room she was in. Just not now.Giovanni furrowed his brows, looking from the cup that was now on the table and back at me. "Is that even healthy? Won't it hurt the baby?""The coffee?" I questioned.Giovanni nodded. "That's your second cup.""It's fine," I pointed out. "It's barely the amou

IN THE CAPO'S BED I love you.
LILITH POVIt was close to midnight, and Giovanni hadn't returned yet. I was home. When I got home, I met Casey and Christie. I was glad that they were fine.They had all returned from the hospital except my mother. Even though she was still in the intensive care unit, there was an assurance that she wouldn't die overnight. The doctor had said so, and they were monitoring her. If her condition changes, they'll inform us as soon as possible.I was okay with her staying there. At her present condition, I didn't think we'd be able to care for her as much as they'd be able to do so in the hospital.Again, it would be a hassle having her here, and when she had another crisis, we'd need to take her to the hospital again.I looked out the window and saw a light flashing into the room. It was from a car driving in. One of Giovanni’s cars, but not the one he always drove in.I stepped away from the window as the car came to a halt, and Rowland climbed down from it.Snatching my robe from the s
IN THE CAPO'S BED the house is surrounded
LILITH POVI paced the room. Despite being lovely to look at due to the pastel wall painting and the vast window that allowed light to come into the room, it didn't give me any slight comfort that I needed right now.I believed the room had been specially prepared for me. I'd have thought of how thoughtful they were if the room wasn't a prison to me.No matter how cozy the room looked, it was a prison, and I didn't think I'd be coming out of it anytime soon.I hadn't seen my father in sight, nor Diego. The bastard that brought me to this place had only pushed me into the room before locking the door and walking away.He had even warned me not to attempt jumping out of the window as I'd only break a neck or even die in worse-case scenarios.I walked to the said window, looking down. Instantly, I withdrew my head as a wave of dizziness washed over me.It was higher than I had thought, and he wasn't lying. If I tried to jump, I wouldn't be breaking a neck alone, I'd die from the impact.
IN THE CAPO'S BED he's audacious
GIOVANNI POVI was with the guys, having a drink. We were trying to unwind and hoped for the best.Everyone was on edge. I glanced at Romeo sitting by himself and playing on his phone. He had stopped crying long ago. I wouldn't blame him.If I was his age, I might have that emotion as well. Only if I had my parents and I was as close as he was to them.I never had the privilege to feel this intense emotion because it was seen as a weakness. And I'd never allow myself to be as weak as that.But when it came to Lilith. It seemed like an entirely different thing for me. I had experienced moments of weakness, fear, and even more sensitivity than I had ever experienced in my life.I had tried to distance myself, believing because I was always in her presence, that made it that way.But even in her absence, she still managed everything to be about her.Looking away from Romeo, I caught Casey and Christie's movement. But not Lilith. Both were running towards us.I frowned, looking at both of
IN THE CAPO'S BED Choice is yours to make
LILITH POVMy mother had been taken to the intensive care unit, while we were outside the door pacing, and waiting for the outcome of the doctor's diagnoses.I couldn't understand what was happening. I was still confused. Not only me. But Romeo who was now crying silently while Casey comfortable him, and everyone else.They had the same expression on their faces. I mean my mother had been fine. She was doing fine today and suddenly, she seemed unresponsive and her breath fading.Even though no one would openly admit it, I could tell the end was near for her. I didn't want to believe it too. But it was fucking too soon.I expected her to live months!Or even beat the doctor's words and stay years and even forever. She'd get to see her grandchildren and be the best grandmother ever, but that wouldn't be happening."Where are you going to?"I stopped walking, looking around me. I didn't realise I had left the others and was now very much closer to the main entrance.Giovanni was behind m
IN THE CAPO'S BED He's irrelevant
LILITH POVOut of all the things I wanted to hear Giovanni say, my father coming back was certainly not it.I stared at him. He wasn't bluffing. He looked absolutely serious. It was weird that he was mentioning my father seeing as I hadn't spoken to him about him. Also, the fact that he knew his name and he mentioned it made it even weirder."How do you know who my father is?" I questioned.Giovanni gripped my hand, pulling me up the remaining step, and towards the room. When we were inside the room, he let go of my hands.I watched as he stepped further inside, tugging his tie, and undoing the top button of his shirt.He rolled up his sleeves, pushing his hand inside his hair before turning to me."I am certain we haven't spoken about my father," I winced at the term father. I didn't want to refer to him as that because he was anything but my father, but at this moment, I had no choice.Since I wanted answers from Giovanni, it was only fitting I used it."There are things you don't k
IN THE CAPO'S BED Your father is back
GIOVANNI POVShe was fine.The thought jumped around in my head over and over again.Since I received Luca's call and went there to take care of business myself, I had been unsettled. Even though Luca had assured me that Rowland had driven her home safely, I didn't want to believe that.But now, seeing her in person, a relieved sigh coursed through me.I stumbled towards her, almost falling to her feet, but she caught me, her arms wrapping around me."What happened to you?" she whispered.I didn't respond to her. I couldn't. I doubted I could find my voice even if I tried to.I hugged her as tight as I could, never wanting to let her go. Inhaling her intoxicating scent, I shut my eyes tightly, opening them as I heard her voice."You have blood all over you, Giovanni. What happened to her?" She tried to move out of my embrace, but I held her back."Don't leave," I choked out.I had never been this emotional. Not even when Diamante left me a day before the wedding. Not even when Diamant
IN THE CAPO'S BED Just forget about it
LILITH POVAs soon as I stepped inside the house, I was engulfed in a hug. It wasn't Giovanni as I had thought.Rather, it was the two people I had thought were still in the spa. The two people I was afraid for.As soon as they released me, my eyes widened, and I pulled them into an embrace of my own."You're safe!" I whispered again, holding them as tight as I could, as if they'd disappear if I let go.Casey laughed, "Of course we are."I pulled away, looking at both of them. They seemed fine and barely had any scratches on them. I was confused, but I was also curious to know how they had come out of the spa unscathed.Also, why didn't they bother to come looking for me?"What happened? I tried to make Rowland go back for the two of you and he assured me that you both would be fine. Perhaps I shouldn't have bothered!"I scowled at the smile still present on Casey's face. She was enjoying this. I had almost died because of them. I couldn't imagine what would have happened if I had bee
IN THE CAPO'S BED They'll be fine
LILITH POVWe had barely reached the escape exit when I remembered I had forgotten something.The girls!I halted abruptly, my eyes widening as I looked around me. I tried to find Christie and Casey. But it was impossible to see anything due to the crowds and everyone running here and there to save themselves."We need to leave here!" Luca urged, tugging me.I resisted.Turning to stare at him."I need to find Casey and Christie!" I yelled."They'll be fine. We need to save you first," Luca said.I glared at him, tugging my hand from his. "Really? You want me to leave my best friends to some murderers?""I am sure you're ready to answer Xanthos when he knows you purposely left her, " even to Theo.Although Theo wouldn't admit to wanting Casey, and she, too, had denied it several times, I knew there was something going on between them."Or the murderers could be here for you and you'd get hurt because you wish to look for your friends who might have saved themselves. Then, I won't have
IN THE CAPO'S BED It's a joke
LILITH'S POV"Really?" I murmured, scowling as I saw Luca.He must have followed me here on Giovanni's order. But I thought Giovanni didn't care. How the hell did he know I was leaving the house, seeing as he had been avoiding me and we hadn't seen each other all morning?Perhaps he was watching from his window."So convenient of him," I rolled my eyes. He could watch me and despatched his bodyguard to watch me, but he couldn't even bring himself to speak to me."That's Luca," Casey pointed to where Luca was standing at the entrance.He wasn't even making his presence discreet. At least, someone else would have hidden from sight and maybe watched from a distance. Someone like Rowland.But he was doing the opposite."Did you mention you're coming here to your husband?" Christie asked me. "I thought both of you weren't on good terms."I shrugged, then stared at Christie. She shrugged as well. How would she know Giovanni and I weren't on good terms? She was really observant.She must hav
