IN THE CAPO'S BED Get used to it
LILITH POVMy head thumped, and I could literally hear the sound. It didn't help that the pain intensified as soon as I opened my eyes.The bright light from the chandelier flashed into it, and I winced, shutting them back. Slowly, I opened them again. I stared at the ceiling for a brief seconds before looking around me.I was in a room. It wasn't mine.I sat up abruptly, clasping my throbbing head with both hands while I observed my surroundings.I recalled it here. It was the hotel that Giovanni had brought me to on my first night with him. I flushed slightly, thinking about the night and the possibility of being here with a different person.I quickly dispelled the thought as I saw Giovanni standing by the large open window. He was staring out of it with his arms folded across his chest.Why was I here? I wondered. Of course, I remembered what happened and no, it didn't help the embarrassment slowly creeping inside of me.I wondered what I was going to tell Sofia had happened to me

GIOVANNI’S POVBullshit!Total bullshit!How could she overlook putting herself in danger just because she desired to make herself look independent?It wasn't my intention to be here, but I wanted to see it for myself after what Rowland had told me. Also, I couldn't help being worried.I was the one who placed Lilith in the situation, I might as well take responsibility for it.Besides, both Lilith's mother and Christie had put a call through to me.While Lilith's mother had been calm and told me she'd never allow me to have access to Lilith and the child after it was born, seeing as she would be taking responsibility for it, Christie had threatened me for the hundredth time.She warned me never to let anything happen to Lilith, and I'd pay for everything else. Even though her threat meant Lilith to nothing, it was Lilith’s mother, Maria's words, that mostly got to me.I had a rethink. Was it possible to stay without wanting to see Lilith? For the past few days, I have tried my best t

LILITH POVHis words hurt me. I couldn't tell why he kept on reminding me of the fact that he wasn't in love with me and would never dream of doing so, now he had added marriage to the list.I had never thought of getting married at 19, likewise getting pregnant, but if the opportunity came now, I doubted I wouldn't want to explore it.Now that Giovanni had ruled out love and marriage, I wondered what he would rule out next."Can I leave now?" I asked him.We had been here for two hours, and it was too late for me. I had snuck out of the house without my mother's knowledge. This time was different from when I would sneak out and sneak back in.I was pregnant, and my mother had made it her responsibility to check on me every hour to see if I was fine or not."Yes, yes," Giovanni nodded. "We had come to an agreement, have we not? See, it's not that hard."I wanted to provoke him by asking what agreement and we never discussed anything, but I knew damned well what had been discussed and

LILITH POVI sucked in a deep breath as his hand hitched higher into my dress. My gaze moved from his wandering hand to his face, and he immediately held onto my chin, stopping me from looking away."Look at me," Giovanni demanded, his voice raspy.I did as he said. Even if I wanted to look away, I couldn't. His eyes had turned dark with lust swirling around in them; I leaned into his warmth, my hands still clenched tight."I want to kiss you," he said."Why," I whispered, licking my lower lip, before continuing, "Why are you asking me?"I was curious. If he wanted it. He could take it because I wanted it too!Maybe he desired to look like a gentleman he barely was."I need to be certain you want to be kissed, too," he said to me. "Do you?"I swallowed, shaking my head.Giovanni seemed to take that as my answer as he immediately withdrew his hand that was close to my panties, and he let go of my chin.I held onto one of his hands, which was still close to my thigh, and guarded it back
Last Updated : 2025-02-09IN THE CAPO'S BED See you soon
GIOVANNI’S POVI placed both hands on the shower wall, my eyes snapping shut as the water cascaded down my body.Lilith.If it weren't for the command I had given to Rowland to drive off as soon as she came down from the car, I had the strong urge to bring her back in and do as I desired with her. Or maybe inviting her over to the penthouse for the night would have made more sense.But she had rejected moving in with me; how would she accept just coming for the night?I opened my eyes briefly to stare at my hardened length. Nothing was helping it calm down. Not even the freezing water.If anything, it was getting worse. Perhaps I shouldn't be thinking about Lilith since she was the reason I was in this predicament, but how could I not think about her?She invaded my thoughts without trying. No matter how hard I tried to push her out of my head.Aside from that, I was mad at her for telling me lies, and she was a potential weakness to me; I had been trying to stay away from her for thi

LILITH POVMy lesson wasn't learned. With everything that had happened between Giovanni and me, you'd have thought I'd keep my distance. Instead, here I was in his arms, in a function he wanted us to be in.Two days ago, after our meeting and how u had allowed him to do as he pleased with me despite my vows, I went to the hospital with him the next day.Mostly, it was for an ultrasound and something else that Giovanni didn't want me to know because he had called the doctor in private, which, in my opinion, was stupid, seeing as I was the one who was pregnant and everything they wanted to discuss should be in my presence.But Giovanni had returned a few minutes later, looking smug while the doctor was flustered. Well, he had taken me to a hospital of his choosing and demanded a female attend to me.Now, if the woman wasn't already in her fifties, although she looked young enough to be seen around a man like Giovanni, I didn't think Giovanni was interested in a woman her age—I'd have th

LILITH POVAs soon as we returned inside, the event started. Like always during a high-profile event like this, Giovanni was nowhere to be found. He hadn't even excused himself; he just left.Although I was a bit worried, as Diamante could come here anytime soon and demand I leave the event, or she could try to pick a fight with me, aside from that, I could manage by myself.I had seen how Giovanni ignored Diamante when we stepped into the room. He had even ignored answering her questions, making me wonder if it was because I was mad at him that made him do that.Although he was going a little too far just to prove that he was with me and not Diamante, I was somewhat pleased."Hey, second bitch."I turned around to see Victoria. She stumbled slightly as she walked towards me, with a wide grin on her face and holding a glass of wine.She was already intoxicated. It was evident from the crazed look on her face and the nonsensical smile she kept sending towards anyone who passed by her.

LILITH POVI stared at Victoria for a long time, allowing my gaze to linger, even though I didn't know why I was staring at her for too long.I guessed I was still surprised by her desire to take Diamante out of the picture. And having a gang herself? It wasn't what I had pictured about her.Victoria was like every other rich girl that I had seen fancying Giovanni. There was nothing special about her, but now, I see something else I hadn't noticed before.There was some kind of strange vibe about her that made everything feel weird.I couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was but I knew it wasn't anything I had seen."Good to see you both getting along pretty well," Giovanni commented.I raised my brow at him, looking from him to Victoria and back to him to ensure I wasn't missing something.Giovanni flashed me a brief smile as he came closer to me and held out his hand."Excuse me," Victoria said, standing to her feet; she brought out a pack of cigarettes I was only just noticing in her

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
