LILITH POV Blend in and do not get caught. Giovanni had said before I stepped out of the car. I had thought it was an easy job. At least, the one he had required me to do with the banker a few days ago had seemed easy, although unnerving as I wasn't prepared for it. This seemed worse. He was watching every move I made from the hidden camera in the stupid bracelet he had made me wear. And right now, he would definitely see how nervous I was. I let in a deep breath, letting it out slowly. A small smile played on my face as I walked towards the main building of the Grand Aurelia Villa. The Aurelia villa was a wealthy estate perched on a hill offering sweeping views of Ravello. The Villa's sprawling gardens were lit with golden fairy light, casting a warm glow on the manicured hedges and marble fountains. The soft hum of classical music drifted from a string quartet stationed near the entrance, their melodies mingling with the murmur of conversations and the gentle clink of champagne

LILITH POVWe were ushered into another room for the main event.It was a grand ballroom dripping with wealth and elegance at every corner. Gilded walls reflected the warm glow of chandeliers, making the entire space shimmer with gold. Massive windows lined one side of the room, giving a breathtaking view of Ravello's lights glittering against the night sky.Hushed conversations could be heard around me, and the same soft strings of a quartet played in the background.It smelled faintly of expensive wine and roses, a mix that felt both intoxicating and stifling. On a raised stage, under bright spotlights, the auction items waited.I found a vacant chair that was around one of the elegantly adorned round tables near the middle of the room, close enough to see the stage clearly but not so close as to draw too much attention to myself.Walking towards it, I sat down and was happy to be ignored by the high-profile attendees who sat there.The blonde from earlier stepped onto the stage, a

GIOVANNI POVThe bastard was here.I had only wanted to watch all that was happening from afar. Well, I trusted Raven could keep everything under control. At least she had managed to put Victoria in her place and not let herself be intimidated by the spoilt brat until my intervention.If I hadn't intervened, Victoria would have had her security toss out Raven, but that wasn't what I wanted.Victoria had given me a personal invitation to this event, and I declined, telling her someone would be attending instead of me. I never wanted to come here as I had a reason for staying hidden in the first place. There were too many enemies here, looking, waiting for me.Raven was unknown and could easily do what I ordered her without getting detected.Now, the attention I had been avoiding on her had been created the moment she had bade on the necklace.The damned necklace always causes this much chaos. I had no choice but to rescue her.Now, the painting.I had seen it before. It was at the Ricc

LILITH POV"I'll miss you," Casey sighed, pulling me into the hundredth hug since we arrived at the airport.She had refused to let me go and only did that when she checked in her luggage, and she returned soon after."I'll be closer to you than you think. Technology already made it easy for us," I said.Casey groaned, "I do not want to speak to you on the phone. I want you there with me, Lily. How the hell am I going to navigate somewhere as big as New York?" Her brown eyes widened as if she was already thinking of the possibility.I rolled my eyes, "Come on, no one will ask you to walk the whole of New York. Besides, you can always use your map to guide you wherever you are going.""You're no fun," she nudged my shoulder, jutting out her lower lip, and folded her arms in front of her. "You should come with me.""You know I'd have done that if I could," I sighed.Casey's expression turned serious, and she nodded, "I understand. I was only kidding. But I am still going to miss you.""

LILITH POVTWO WEEKS LATER"And Time is up. Please stop writing and put your pens down." Dr Livia instructed, "Enjoy your summer."Her exam was the last paper for the term.I handed her my paper, picking up my bag by the side of the door, before joining the students walking towards the entrance.I sighed, allowing the warmth of the sun to caress my face. The weather was favorable today and a clear indication of the summer break. Summer break. I mused. I had never had any meaningful ones, not counting the ones I had with Casey.But that was before I began to take the responsibility of looking after my mother and Romeo.Casey and I often camped in her house. I had nowhere else to go, and her parents usually preferred where she was in close proximity.They weren't as strict as my mother, but they were only being cautious.Despite how lovely Ponteverde could be, summer break was mostly the time when most kidnappings occurred. Children, teens, and even adults would go camping, hiking, or

LILITH POVI was in Santorini, sweet!It looked surreal.I never thought I'd be here, in a place where the world's colors looked like they'd been painted on the sky.This was the last place on earth I'd ever thought I'd step foot in. I couldn't afford a plane ticket that'd even take me away from Ponteverde, much less fly in a private jet where everything you needed was handed to you on a platter of gold.The city was too beautiful to be true, and I couldn't help but ogle every little detail my eyes could see, albeit in a subtle manner. I believe Giovanni noticed.I had caught him chuckling each time he stared in my direction, although he didn't tell me the exact reason he was laughing. But he was. I didn't get the chance to take in my environment fully as I followed Giovanni to a sleek black car waiting on the tarmac.The driver, a middle-aged man with a goatee and a bald head, opened the door for me, then for Giovanni on the other side of the passenger seat, before he moved to the dr
Last Updated : 2024-12-11IN THE CAPO'S BED Twice as bad as me
LILITH POVI was down in about thirty minutes, meeting with Giovanni at the dining.His attention snapped to mine as soon as I stepped into the room, and a small smile adorned his lips. His eyes appraised me slowly, from my head to my toes, and then he gave a gentle nod as if he approved of my look.It was a below-the-knee golden sequined dress with a wrap-around skirt and a low-cut v-shaped neckline featuring an open back. It was sleeveless as well and showed a great deal of skin, from my cleavage to my back.I had thought it too casual and assumed Giovanni would disapprove, not like I'd have changed into something else if he had asked me to anyway. Besides, I believed it was my overall appearance, not just the dress itself.My hair, or rather the wig I was wearing, was curled at the tip; I had done my makeup, making it even bolder than usual but not overdoing it so I wouldn't appear like a weirdo.Before I stepped out of the room, I had caught my reflection in the mirror. I didn't e

LILITH POVChristie and I seemed to be hitting it off pretty well. I had thought the blonde petite woman would be someone I'd detest. You know, those nepo babies who got everything handed to them on a platter of gold because of mommy or daddy dearest and believed the world revolved around their ass? Yes, them.Christie was far from that. Not only was she beautiful, she was accommodating and overly thoughtful.Somehow, I couldn't tell how she had snagged the attention of someone in Giovanni’s circle. Giovanni was dangerous, and everyone associated with him would be too.Behind the playful façade that Theo was trying to portray, he was as dangerous as Giovanni, so I didn't think her groom would be anything less.Christie, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind about the company her husband kept, or maybe she was used to it all ready and prepared to live with such.She straightened from where she was sitting in front of the vanity mirror—we had left the celebration outside to check her o

IN THE CAPO'S BED But she's not deåd...are you?
LILITH POV"Fuck," I muttered as soon as I came awake.I could barely move any part of my body. They were heavy plus my eyes had refused to open. A sharp pain shot through my ribs as I tried to move, forcing me to stay still. When I finally was able to open my eyes, I stared at my surrounding and for a second, I tried to remember where I was or how I got here.And then it hit me. I was in the hospital. The fire alarm. The chaos and burning building!"Giovanni," I whispered, turning my eyes around the empty room. I had heard his voice in the midst of the chaos.Perhaps I was imagining things but I doubted it as it sounded so vivid and sharp.The door opened, and Casey stepped in. She stood by the door briefly, staring at me. She didn't move, and she seemed to be in a daze."Casey," I murmured, my voice hoarse.My voice snapped her out of her daze, and she began to move towards me robotically. Then she stopped."Lilith," she whispered, then her eyes widened. "Oh my God, Lilith. You're a
IN THE CAPO'S BED Please, save her.
GIOVANNI POVDespite how often I had denied stalking her, I might as well be called a stalker right now. I sat on a bench near the cinema, watching everyone going in and out.I saw Lilith climbing out of a red SUV with her friend Casey.Diamante was around, and she told me she'd be coming to the movies so we could meet here. Although I had told her to say what she wanted to on the phone, she had refused.Initially, I was furious at her and didn't want to be here, but now I am glad I was. At least, the sight of Lilith would distract me momentarily from her.I watched as Lilith and her friend walked through the entrance. I stood, dusting my pants, and was about to walk, but I stopped as Diamante appeared in front of me."Nino," she murmured, sliding her dark sunglasses down her straight nose. She bites her lower lip, one of her hands now touching my shoulder.I stared at the hand briefly before looking at her. I might have thought this gesture endearing four years ago. Or even thought h
IN THE CAPO'S BED Help!
LILITH POV"Don't leave the safety of the house," I read from Giovanni's text."Why not?" I muttered, staring at it. He didn't give any other reasons except for that.I rolled my eyes, depositing my phone into my pocket.I wrinkled my nose as the buttery aroma of popcorn filled the air, leaning back into the cushioned seat, I let the movie draw me in."Goodness, I hate romantic comedies," she sighed dramatically."You picked it," I pointed out. It wasn't as if I had picked it. She was the one who suggested that she needed the laughter and all, and it was the only good fit as far as far as I was concerned."You look at her perfect hair. Nothing out of place. She irks me!" Casey groaned, pointing to one of the characters.I laughed, shaking my head. I knew she loved it because she was still watching it. If Casey hated a movie, she wouldn't pay any attention to it, no matter its high ratings. She only needed to glance at the first scene to judge.But she had been complaining about this s
IN THE CAPO'S BED Suit yourself
LILITH POVThe phone fell from my hand, clattering to the floor. My heartbeat quickened, and I let out an inaudible gasp. My eyes widened as I looked around Casey's living room.It was just the two of us, and nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary. In fact, Casey was already calmed and was now staring at me as if I had lost my mind. I must have looked at the part with my mouth open while I gasped for breath."Are you alright?" she bent to pick up my phone, but I snatched it from the ground before she could."Okay," she frowned, nodding her head.I ignored her eyes as I stared at the phone again. The text was anonymous, so there was no way I could have known who sent it or even traced it!Now, I feel even more paranoid. I was right about someone watching me. This just confirmed it. But who the hell was that? What do they want from me?Giovanni was ruled out already, maybe it was Marco.He had contacted me sometime last week to ask about my whereabouts. I hadn't given him an answer be
IN THE CAPO'S BED I know who you are, Lilith Russo
LILITH POVI think it was paranoia, or maybe I was losing my mind.I glanced over my shoulder for the umpteenth time while crossing the street leading to Casey's apartment.I still felt the feelings from yesterday of being watched, from leaving Giovanni’s penthouse to arriving here.I wanted to believe a car had been trailing me as well! I had seen a car from the rearview mirror. It had tinted windows, so I couldn't see who was in it. But each time the car I was in made a stop, it did as well.The only thing that convinced me I wasn't being watched and that I was just going crazy was when the car zoomed past me.Coming down and about to go to Casey's, I still felt the eyes on me!Using the spare key with me—Casey had given it to me after we graduated high school. She had said I could come to her house whenever I felt like—I inserted it into the keyhole.When I unlocked the door, I looked around me briefly to ensure I wasn't being truly followed, and then I stepped inside.Gasping as I
IN THE CAPO'S BED Should I be scared?
LILITH POV"Raven?"I swirled, locking eyes with Giovanni as he climbed down the last flight of stairs. I was in the kitchen about to make chicken broth for him. I often made it for Romeo whenever he was sick, and it was pretty effective against the flu, too.This morning, Giovanni's temperature had spiked even higher, so I thought doing that would alleviate the symptoms."You're awake," I said to him. I turned off the cooker and rinsed my hands under the faucet before wiping them on the apron around my neck.I walked up to him, touching his hands. I stood on tiptoes, touching his temple with the back of my hand."How are you feeling?" I asked him."What are you doing here?" he answered my question with one of his."Wrong answer," I replied. "I was hoping to wake you up with breakfast, but now that you're here, I guess it's okay for you to have the soup here. You can take your medication afterward," I said to him."Medication?" Giovanni murmured as I pulled him to the sofa. I nudged h
IN THE CAPO'S BED Stay
LILITH POVI left the house as soon as my mother went to bed, claiming to be staying over at Casey's. She didn't say anything as she looked at me with suspicion.Now, here I was, in the usual spot waiting for Giovanni to show up. It took only a few minutes for the black monster car that Rowland often drove Giovanni in to pull up in front of me.Rowland came down at the same time as Giovanni."I'll get the door, sir," Rowland said, approaching me but Giovanni ignored him.He leaned against the car briefly, before heaving a breath, his shoulders moving as he did.Giovanni opened the door, pointing to it, "In," he said.I walked past him and was about to slide into the car when he staggered.I gripped his shoulder, steadying him. "Are you alright?" I asked, placing the back of my palm on his forehead."Fuck!" I winced, withdrawing it. It was scorching.I turned to Rowland who helped me take him inside the car."What's wrong with him? He's running a fever!" I glanced at Giovanni again, an
IN THE CAPO'S BED Happy Birthday
LILITH POV It was two days since I met with Giovanni at the convenience store, two days since he killed a man in front of me, acting as though it was nothing, and two days for a breath of fresh air without wondering if he was going to appear before me or not. Today was Romeo's birthday. He'd officially be seventeen years old today, and I was hyped up for it. Even though my mother didn't seem the least bit interested, she mentioned not being able to afford to throw a party for him, which made her feel somewhat down, although I assured her it wasn't her fault we were in poverty. I had made it my responsibility to make Romeo feel special today, and I was going to fulfill it without any distractions. "Does he like chocolate or strawberry?" Casey asked, curious. We were in the dessert section of the store to get some prebaked cake because baking would take a lot of time, and we hadn't planned the day before. Also, if we decided to bake, it would be in Casey's house and not mine because
IN THE CAPO'S BED This is a public space, love
I winced, shoving my hands into my hair. The loud music playing from the old jukebox was beginning to get to me. My head pounded, and my eyes hurt from the disco lights swirling around.I was in the clubhouse, Velvet Haven, in the gritty part of downtown. I know I shouldn't be here. But Casey had guilt trip me into coming. Also, I didn't want to stay cooped up indoors thinking about my pathetic pregnant life.So, I gave in. It wasn't as if I'd be drinking. But I could badly use one drink right now. At least to calm my nerves and to stop me from waking over the pudgy man that was sitting in the corner, eyefucking me.I tried to concentrate on Casey's dancing. She was grounding into a shirtless dude. He was all over her, and I had seen both even share a kiss. Yeah, she was totally fine with it.That was Casey, but she had boundaries. I knew she wouldn't go overboard by fucking this total stranger in the presence of everyone except if he was her date. But he wasn't. She had come alone wi
