IN THE CAPO'S BED I wasn't jealous
GIOVANNI POV"Trouble in paradise?"I didn't raise my head from the position it was in. It was currently between my hands, and I was staring at the empty cup once filled with whisky on my office desk.Theo was in the office with me. He'd be staying over for a week, and he had come to Milan for an important business, so rather than let him live in a hotel, I had invited him over.He was my friend after all and he'd be saving money too."Judging by what I saw, I'd say you were the faulty one," Theo continued.I snorted. Sighing, I raised my head, looking around the room. It was somewhat dark. The only light came from the chandelier, and it should have been too dim for anyone to be able to see anything.I could see just fine; no obstacle on the road would make me stumble. In fact, having the curtains down and minimal light was one of the things u preferred while in the office.Despite how gloomy it seemed, the outside sometimes got me even more furious than I always was."What did you sa

TWO DAYS LATERI pulled out the trash bag from underneath the kitchen counter, checked around the room for any wrappers, and when I couldn't find any, I headed to the door.I stepped out of the room, letting in a deep breath and letting it out as the frigid air whipped my hair around my face.I loathed taking the trash out because I didn't enjoy leaving the comfort of my bed, especially at this time of the day. Also, after being stalked for days before, I was a little paranoid, although I was kind of recovering now.But there was nothing I could do about my situation.Romeo was too busy with his school project to help, and I couldn't tell my mother to do so when I could.Looking around me, I walked towards the alley and tossed the garbage into the dumpster. Pulling out a wipe I had stuffed into my pocket before leaving the house, I wiped my hand and then tossed it into a trashcan nearby.I sighed, wrapping my sweatshirt around my body tightly.My phone vibrated in my pocket, and I pul

LILITH POVI still believe I could struggle and fight as much as I desired since I had that much energy still left in me. But everything evaporated as soon as I caught sight of Romeo.He was my only hope. The one person I believe would call for help and maybe save us out of this situation. He was found.I swallowed hard, shutting my eyes tightly as he approached. I didn't want to look at him, to see the fear in his eyes.I believed I should be protecting them, but I needed protection even more!"Quit fighting bitch," Lance grunted, striking me for the second time on my cheek.Romeo broke free from his captor and sprinted towards us. Because I could ask what he was doing, he shoved Lance away from me, wrestling him to the ground.I'd have been proud if this wasn't our situation. I mean, Romeo having that much strength to push Lance away as if he was nothing was everything to be proud of. But I couldn't even express that because we weren't saved yet.I hurriedly stood from where I was,

LILITH POVSon? Whoever told him I was having a son anyway? I didn't know the sex of my baby yet, and I hadn't made a move to do so.It wasn't because I didn't want to or I didn't care. And maybe I did care. I guessed somehow, Giovanni not wanting the baby in the first place influenced me not wanting to know the sex.Giovanni gripped my hand bringing me back to the present. I yanked my hand away from him, glaring."Well, you're doing a terrible job keeping me alive," I said to him. It was because of him I was mostly in danger. When I didn't know him, when it was just me, my mother, and Romeo, I never had a reason to hide from anyone.Also, I never had a reason to feel threatened. It wasn't as if going to live with him would eradicate the threat anyway.Giovanni seemed taken aback by my action, and he took a step back, furrowing his brows as he looked at me."You have no right to say where I live and where I do not. Just because I am pregnant with your child doesn't mean you should tel

LILITH POVA WEEK LATERI believed it was weird that I hastily accepted my fate and situation of thing. Someone who had more brains than me would have wished to stay anywhere but near Giovanni.He was a criminal, maybe not literally, but he was involved in crime, and I was taking it lightly like it was an everyday thing.Again, I think I was taking it lightly because I could not know what was happening. I couldn't leave. Giovanni would surely scour the whole earth for me if I did due to his baby in me, and I didn't want to even guess what he was going to do if that were to be the case.The sound of the doorbell brought me out of my conversation with Casey.She had come to visit after learning I moved. Well, I wasn't the only one who moved. My mother and brother had agreed to come live with Giovanni.The penthouse was large enough to accommodate them, and I didn't think any of them had a choice because the threats were still out there. They could be used as bait to set me up, which wou

GIOVANNI POV"I disposed off the necklace, sir. Also, I tried my best to trace the delivery boy and question who had sent him to deliver it." Rowland said.I turned away from the window, staring at him with a raised brow. His head was bowed and his gaze avoided mine. I knew this too well. Trying to find who might have sent it from the delivery person might be somewhat impossible because, most of the time, it wasn't always the sender who gave it directly to the delivery person. It was mostly through a third party.And that happens to ensure confidentiality. That must have been the case here."What did you find?" I asked him.Rowland shook his head. "Unfortunately, nothing sir," he said.I nodded. I wasn't surprised. It was just as I had thought. Through a fucking third party.I turned away again to the window while thinking of who it might be. A week ago, Lilith and I went out to an event.Someone might have taken an interest in her because she was with me and assumed she'd be a way to

LILITH POVThe sound of laughter, music, and clinking glasses filled the air, creating a rich and heartfelt atmosphere as we entered the grand estate.This was my first time in a masquerade ball, and this might just be the best feeling I had ever experienced at a party.It was a surprise that Giovanni told me to prepare for tonight. Unlike before that, he had never made any move to tell me where we were going except it was essential to him; he had told me about this. They even gave me a rundown of the event and exactly what I'd be doing.The event was hosted by Marco De Santis, a wealthy and influential businessman with connections to the underworld. It was a charity gala to raise funds for a local children's hospital, but also an opportunity for him to showcase his wealth and influence, in my opinion.I could imagine what the guest list would be. As far as I was concerned, events like this were always filled with a who's who of high society, with politicians, business leaders, and ce

LILITH POVIt wasn't until we arrived outside of the grand estate that my captor let me go.I rubbed my clammy palms on my dress while trying not to shudder so as not to give away my fear.He smirked at me, taking a step forward while I took one backward with each step he took until the back of my leg hit the garden's bench, and I stopped moving."How about we unveil ourselves, darling? I know you've been wanting to see my face all evening. It's a good thing that you also intrigued me.""Why do you think I am interested in you unveiling your face?" I said to him."Oh darling, we both know you are," he chuckled lightly. "Else you won't wear that counterfeit around your neck."I touched the necklace on my neck, staring at him with confusion.He knew that the necklace was not the original. But how? Giovanni did it in a way that resembled the original. Even Theo had sworn that it would give people a hard time to figure it wasn't.No other person had said anything about him until him."For

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
