IN THE CAPO'S BED Wearing that outside?
LILITH POVI knew I couldn't stay mad at Casey for long; honestly, I had already settled with her within me the last time she was here. I just didn't want her to keep apologizing to me over and over again.Now, it was a week after and the eve of my wedding. Yes, wedding.I agreed to get married to Giovanni. For love? No.But for protection's sake. Yes.Also, he had sweetly proposed two days after his initial proposal in the fanciest way I couldn't even imagine.It was held at a charity gala, which he co-hosted, and everyone was present, the boys and even Christie, to witness it that day. I wouldn't say I enjoyed the cameras that went off like crazy that day, but the best thing was that Giovanni had made the proper proposal, and even if we weren't going to get married for love, it was better than a secret proposal."How do I look?" Christie broke of my thoughts, checking herself out in the mirror. She was wearing a sleeveless red sequined halter gown, reaching just her knees. It hugged

GIOVANNI POV"Do you care for some company?" the third woman, a brunette now, walked up to me. Her manicured fingers spread on my chest while she sat on the vacant chair next to me."I can't help but notice how quiet you are," she said.I turned around, looking at Boaz before shooting him a glare as he shrugged.That bastard. Always wanting to set me up.I knew he was waiting for me to slip. It would only take a picture of everything planned for tomorrow to be ruined, and I wouldn't let that happen.She'd be the third woman I'd be ignoring tonight, and it wasn't as if she wasn't beautiful. She was drop-dead gorgeous, with shoulder-length dark brown hair. Her caramel skin shone as the disco light hit it, and her lips were full, tempting, and begging to be kissed.But in all, she wasn't a match for the image I currently had in my head.Lilith. Even in her absence, she still had a firm hold on me. I had tried to imagine what she'd be up to all evening and even checked my damned phone to
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-10IN THE CAPO'S BED Get your hands off me
LILITH POV"I'M COMING TO GET YOU AND PRAY I DON'T GET BLOOD ON MY HANDS TONIGHT,"I stared at my phone, blinking away the daze from my eyes as I read the text from Giovanni. I had had too much booze, but that didn't mean I wasn't conscious of what was happening. Also, I knew I shouldn't be drinking.Giovanni would kill me if I caught myself with the alcohol, but this might be the last time I'd get to have a taste of alcohol.I stared at my phone still in my hand, furrowing my brows.I had sent a message to Giovanni and not just any message, but a picture message of me with some guys grounding into me and a bloody voice text of me...moaning."Shit!" I mumbled, stumbling towards the bar stool. How the hell did I do that?Of course, I could remember everything and I hated the fact that I could.After thinking about Giovanni nonstop, the dancing barely keeping my attention away from him, I brought out my phone and took some pictures. The most intimate pictures ever and proceeded to make

LILITH POV"What the hell were you thinking?" Giovanni grunted as soon as I stepped into the room. I stayed by the door, looking around the dimly lit room, anywhere else except for him."You sneaked in men to an all-female party, and as if that isn't enough, you proceeded to dress like a prostitute and act like one in front of that idiot!""You said I could do as I desire," I whispered. Clearing my throat, I heaved a breath.The effect of the alcohol in my head was slowly subsiding, but what happened was still in my head.I couldn't help but wonder if that guy was truly killed because Giovanni had practically dragged me away from the party, while Xanthos Christie.I didn't know how Casey had managed to go home. I wanted to believe that Theo or someone else had helped in taking her home."I said you could do as you desire, but that doesn't mean you should act totally irresponsible!"I flinched at his voice. It kept going high and high. I was glad that the room was soundproof. The last

LILITH POVDiamante was here.From the moment we started our vows, I had sighted her in the audience. I was surprised she had opposed it when it was mentioned.For one, I knew Diamante didn't come to wish me well. She wasn't interested in my well-being and might have only come to see what was happening or even given me a message.Her expression was neutral all throughout the event in the cathedral, making me wonder what was going on through her head.Now, I was out, searching for her.It was almost time for the reception, and I was meant to change into the dress Casey and Christie had picked for me. A peaceful, flowy dress with a slit at the side featuring spaghetti straps.I didn't need to change my make-up because I believed it was still perfect. Maybe only some touch-ups would do.Yet, I desired to meet with Diamante first. I wished to know her agenda; hopefully, she wasn't here to disrupt things."Looking for me?"I swirled around, to see Diamante beside me. A smile curved her low
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-13IN THE CAPO'S BED I can explain
LILITH POVThe reception went well. I had a lot of fun with Christie and Casey, plus the dirty dancing with Giovanni that almost drove me insane because it was purely explicit.He touched me in every place I had imagined impossible and whispered dirty words in my ears, filling my head quickly with naughty thoughts. Despite the fact that we were clothed and danced like any couple on the dance floor, what was happening between us was far from it.I was glad the party ended soon enough because I didn't trust myself. I didn't trust myself not begging Giovanni to strip the dress off me and fuck me while everyone watched.My thoughts even appalled me because I had never had public sex before. Well, maybe I had, but not where everyone was watching us! But at the minute, I wanted to do so.All shame seemed to fly away from my head; the only thing I could think about was my satisfaction.Besides, the party was still ongoing, but Giovanni wanted us to leave. I asked him why, but he said nothing
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-13IN THE CAPO'S BED Didn't cheat
GIOVANNI POV"What the hell just happened?" I pondered, looking at where Lilith had been standing.She wasn't there anymore. Instead, Casey and Christie were by the open door, their eyes wide with confusion.I shook my head, trying to understand what had happened and what had gone wrong; above all, how the fuck did she get the photos she had slammed on my chest.I stared at the pictures once again and couldn't help but be disgusted. That little whore. She had taken a picture of me.If I had known and wasn't in over my head that day, I'd have requested that it be deleted. Although I doubted it would have gone down without a fight, I believed telling her to do as I desired would have been better.Now that Lilith had discovered everything that transpired between Diamante and me, plus connecting the dots together, I could do nothing to lessen the damage."What the hell did you do?" Christie's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.I scowled at her. "What the hell are you doing in front of m
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-14IN 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

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
