IN THE CAPO'S BED I let Giovanni drag you
LILITH POV"Did I do too much?" Christie slumped her shoulders, her face buried in her hands."Of course not," I shook my head, sitting next to her on the sun lounger.I gripped her hand to uncover her face.Her lips quivered, and she looked like she was about to cry."I know I chose this life. I know all these things would certainly happen; I mean wedding disruption, one of us dying soon..." she trailed off, laughing.Her laughter was tinged with sadness, just the way her eyes were."Hey," I said as I heard her sniffled.Christie shook her head, her shoulder heaving, "I'm sorry," she giggled, wiping at the tears gliding down her cheeks."I know I tried to make everything picture perfect than it really is. But can you blame me? I love Xanthos to death, but I don't want this life; I don't want to watch my back continuously while trying to make sure I don't get hit. I want to live as every normal being lives and not this pathetic wannabe perfection I try to show off..."This wasn't abou

LILITH POV"Morning," I murmured as I passed by Xanthos."Hey," he returned the greeting, nodding.I walked in the direction of the living room. We were still in Giovanni’s penthouse. There had been no attack yet and no news of what to expect next.They should know since they might have experienced this too many times because it didn't look like anything new to them.I was the only one who seemed lost here. Everyone, including Christie, seemed to be taking everything perfectly well.Arriving in the living room at the same time as Theo, he grumbled, "I hate mornings."He looked grumpy as fuck, with his hair sticking all over the place as if he had a fight the night before with a cat. He hunched his shoulders forward while he walked towards the chair in a zombie manner.He was in a black robe and barefoot. When he sat, he crossed his right leg over the left one and patted the chair next to him, "Come sit with me, sweetheart."I complied. There were only two vacant chairs: one near him

LILITH POVI doubted there was an adjective I could use that'd do justice to describe this place. I mean, Theo never told me we were going to heaven when he spoke about us having lots of 'activities'. I know this wasn't heaven per se, but it looked and felt like a mini-heaven, and I didn't want ever to leave it.The soft hum of the boat's engine thrummed beneath my feet as I leaned against the railing. The breeze tugged at my hair and brought with it the faint, briny scent of the sea.I gripped my hair, holding it in place as I looked at the horizon. It stretched endlessly, awash in a fiery shade of gold and crimson, blending into softer streaks of lavender—a breathtaking display that felt almost unreal."Where is this place?" I found myself asking, my voice barely above a whisper. Even as Theo told me not to say anything, he said, 'Watch, feel, and enjoy,' and I couldn't help but agree. However, I was curious.Theo turned, a knowing smile lighting up his face. "This is Santorini at

LILITH POV"Where the fuck is Raven? It's almost midnight, and she's yet to be here?!""I never said she could come here to walk around.""And why the hell is she with Theo? What's this stupid picture about?"Christie gave the best impression of Giovanni she could while pacing around the room with her face scrunched up.When she was done speaking, she burst out into a peal of laughter. "You should see his face, Raven. He looked pissed as fuck.""It's just a picture. Why should he be mad? Besides, he's not my father and has no right to want to impose a curfew on me."I stared at Christie's phone again. All the pictures that Theo had taken of me, including our dancing, were on his Instagram page.I never knew he was the kind of person who'd have an Instagram until now.I stared at the picture for a longer time. Even if no one could recognise me as the one, I didn't want my picture to be all over the Internet on some man's arm I didn't even know."It's a job well done, and I am satisfied

LILITH POVAfter yesterday's events, I didn't want to stay back and allowed Diamante to take control of the kitchen. I knew what happened yesterday would occur again if I did that.I glanced behind me as I heard footsteps approaching. It was the boys and Christie."Morning sunshine," Theo greeted, walking into the kitchen. He stood behind me, peering into the pot as I began to stir the pasta."That looks delicious," he said.I smiled, nodding. "You should have a taste before judging."Theo snorted, "Whatever comes from you will be good, most certainly."He was so sure of himself. I think I was the only one who didn't believe in myself because the others agreed with him."What can I help you with?" Christie murmured, yawning. Then, she went over to the kitchen sink to wash her hands. "I should have been awake earlier, but Theo kept me all night.""No, I didn't!" Theo argued."You did," Christie retorted."I did not," Theo scowled."You did Theodore. You did and you should be glad that

LILITH POV Giovanni opened the car door for me before the driver could.I stepped out of the car, and he put his arms around my waist.Sucking in a deep breath, I watched as his hand casually rested on my waist as if it was the most natural thing to do. He didn't look fazed, unlike me.My body was on high alert, my heart pounding continuously as if I had been running, my pussy clenched and unclenched, and my nipples tingled, straining against the fabric of the dress.Thank goodness it wasn't translucent.Since today I had been reacting unreasonable to Giovanni. From being Jealous that he was always around Diamante to wanting him now.Perhaps it was due to his nearness. If he wasn't near me, I often had a clear though and he was barely part of it.I pushed his thoughts to the back of my head, looking around me for the first time, my brows drew together in a frown, and I turned to him. "I thought we were..."Going to a fancy restaurant as we always did. I was hoping this was a mission

LILITH POVThe deck was bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, its silver beams shimmering on the rippling waves around us.The scent of salt and sea filled the air, mingling with the faint trace of Giovanni's cologne as he closed the space between us.His hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer. His warm, deliberate touch sent heat coursing through me, igniting something primal and unstoppable.Cupping my face, his lips slowly descended to meet mine. The kiss felt like the soldering heat that joined metals, leaving my mouth burning with a fire I had never felt before.I held onto his shoulders as if he was my lifeline.Giovanni let go of my mouth. I sucked in two big gulps of air, touching my lips. It felt numb and swollen, my gaze snapping to his as his eyes narrowed on mine."Do I punish you for your inappropriate behavior with my best friend or just overlook everything you did with him and act as if it never happened?""What do you mean?" I questioned. I was surprised that

LILITH POV"Spill, Spill, Spill," Christie singsonged, plopping on the chair while crossing her legs.I shook my head, going to the vanity table to sit. I sighed, staring at my reflection. Indeed, I looked questionable.Aside from Christie and Diamante, I couldn't help but wonder what was going through the others' minds.For instance, Theo could see me as a cheap whore. I grimace. The look on his face was enough to expect that even if he wouldn't say it loud to my face."Raven!" Christie shouted, causing me to jump."Stop that," I winced, covering my ears."I asked you a question, and you're trying to zone out on me. That isn't fair. I thought we were friends and should tell each other everything?""We are friends," I murmured, but not best friends. As far as I was concerned, the only person I could easily narrate this to was Casey, who wasn't here.Casey wouldn't judge me. She'd rather cheer me on. It seemed weird, right? Yeah, but she was that kind of friend."Fine," Christie mutter

GIOVANNI POV"I have information on the lady you asked me to look into, but that might have to wait because Miss Diamante Amato sent me something disturbing," Luca said at the other end of the phone."And what's that?" I asked. Since I told her off earlier, I hadn't seen her.I believed she had left angrily, and I didn't care to ask or even call her to find out where she was going to."What's wrong with her?" I asked him again unable to hide the irritation from my voice.He had called me to break a piece of irrelevant information. "How about you tell me about the more crucial one?""This is crucial," Luca said. "I sent you a message now."Pulling the phone back from my ear, I glared at Luca's text. I wondered why he couldn't just say what he wanted to. Maybe it was insensitive information, but even the most sensitive thing, he had always spoken about it in a crowded place.It was a video text, and the more I watched it, the angrier I became. Diamante was standing precariously on the e
IN THE CAPO'S BED I feel safer with you
GIOVANNI POVI returned to the hospital after a while. I loathed being here. I didn't like how it smelt like death at the same time, it was the place where lives were saved.I didn't want to be here. But I wanted to make sure Lilith was doing perfectly fine. Despite receiving information about her condition being stable, I still wanted to see for myself.Standing in front of her room's door, I tapped on it and heard a small voice ushering me in.I wanted to believe it was Lilith's but she couldn't have sounded as strong as that. I stepped into the room to see a woman, probably in her fifties, with greying hair that could have been the same as Lilith's if she were younger, and her eyes had the same warmth as Lilith's but less naive and very much intelligent.Without a doubt, I knew she was Lilith's mother. Lilith had her features, and there was no way someone who wasn't related would look the same as this.She tilted one brow, looking at me as I walked further into the room."Giovanni,
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
