IN THE CAPO'S BED Mercy
GIOVANNI POVGuy, my secretary took the phone I extended to him as soon as I was done with the call. Cracking my knuckles, I walked to the man in the room's centre.He whimpered, his bloodied face pressed against the cold concrete floor. The dim, flickering light above threw shadows across his trembling form, his muffled pleas barely audible over the distant hum of machinery. I crouched down, gripping his chin to force him to look at me. His bloodshot eyes darted, searching for mercy he wouldn’t find.Mercy was never in my eyes, to begin with.“Loyalty isn't a choice, stronzo,” I said, my voice calm, “You took a damn oath, James, and for a fucking pussy, you choose to throw all that in the wind.”"Tell me, how many days did she offer to fuck your little dick for you to go against your family and the code of honor?"He tried to speak, but the gag stuffed in his mouth made it pathetic, incoherent. I snorted, and my patience wore thin. With a flick of my hand, one of my men yanked the ga

LILITH POV I was nervous. It was an emotion one could easily see if they were focused on me, but I tried to play it down with a bright, wide smile that was soon hurting my mouth. The Il Serafino was perched at the top of an exclusive High-rise in the heart of Ravello, offering a panoramic view of the city's glittering skyline. From up here, the chaos of the streets below felt distant, muted, like another world entirely. Yet, it didn't do anything to quell the—chaos— slowly building inside of me. Warm, golden lights spilled from the chandelier, casting soft shadows over the polished marble floors, while floor-to-ceiling windows showcased the city's glow against the dark sky. The faint melody of the piano drifted through the air, weaving between hushed conversations that seemed to belong to people who mattered: the elites, the stinkingly rich men and women. I didn't belong here, no shit, Sherlock. I looked very much out of place. Anyone could easily pick me out despite the one thou

LILITH POVI was halfway done with the meal when Giovanni started to speak again.He leaned back in his chair, his predatory gaze scanning the room as he swirled the wine in his glass. His attention settled briefly on a man in a tailored navy suit seated two tables away.At least, that was what I believed he was looking at. The man chuckled at something his companion said, but his hand never left the edge of his knife. He was holding the knife with the golden handle as if it were his possession rather than using it to eat as everyone was.“See that man over there?” Giovanni’s said, his voice low. “The one who’s too relaxed, but his fingers are always touching the knife like it’s part of him? That’s Pietro Marino. He runs the rackets in Verona. Killed a man once just because he reached for the wrong breadbasket at dinner.”I blinked, glancing subtly in Pietro’s direction. He looked ordinary enough until you noticed his movements, the way he scanned the room like he owned it. He looked

LILITH POVMarco was here. What the hell did he want?From the corner of my eyes, I watched as he made his way towards the restaurant bar, making himself comfortable.After speaking to the bartender, I presumed it was to get his order; then, he began looking around the room.I grimaced as his gaze landed on the area, and hastily, I glanced away. Using one of my hands to shield myself, even though I knew it would be useless, I did it anyway.Hopefully, he wouldn't recognize I was the one that was there. But it was unlikely, seeing as I was very much like the Raven that danced in La notte, despite the fact that I had used only a little bit of makeup as I didn't want to appear like a clown next to Giovanni.I could still leave here undetected if I wish to. Giovanni wasn't here. He had excused himself. He didn't say where he was going exactly but I knew it was for a business transaction.He hadn't brought me here mainly to lecture me or even make me sign the contract, he was here for hims

LILITH POVI sighed as the professor finished the lesson for the day. It was what I had been looking forward to.Last night's event kept finding its way into my head, and I couldn't push it out. I had tossed and turned on my bed all night while my brain conjured the image of an injured Giovanni. Some of the pictures were good, while some were nauseating.The ones I couldn't get out of my head were the nauseating ones where several bodies lay on a heap in front of the restaurants with their head blown off. While Giovanni stood at the side, his blood quickly drained. It was certain he would soon be like the heap of dead bodies, but at least he would look as handsome as ever while at it.He had only gotten injured in his right arm; that was the exact place I had seen exposed while he was shooting the opponents before exposing himself as if he were some protagonist in a story with a lot of plot armor.I couldn't get past that image of him in my head, and I had tried my best to push it out

LILITH POV I sat on the tree trunk facing my father's gravestone, crossing my legs. Some people had come with a flower, bottle of champagne, or even a precious item to drop at the grave of their loved ones, but I had come empty-handed. I was always here empty-handed. I didn't come here to reminisce with him or have a father's daughter talk we never had. I had come here to spite him as I often did. My mother barely talked about my father. She had always dismissed every talk about him while growing up. She never told me if he was dead or even living. But I believed he was dead. At least to me. Just three years ago, I rented a plot in this community burial ground just to set his gravestone on it. To tell the stone how well I was doing without him. To say to it, he was going to get the award of being the worst father in hell, adding to his punishment. To tell him I was a stripper, which wouldn't have been possible if he was alive. Well, maybe. My mother didn't know about this place

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

CASEY POV"Jesus Christ, Lilith, can you stop doing that?" I groaned, raising my head slowly from the pillow.My eyes were still shut as I sat up on the bed, and I pushed my hands into my hair, holding my pounding head, trying to ease the headache.But it was pretty useless because my head pounded intensely with every little movement I made with my face.I didn't get drunk last night, and I knew the reason I was in this situation.That jerk. He hadn't even spared me or even for a second thought. I was a woman, and he shouldn't be hitting on someone who was supposedly weaker than he was. But no, he had slammed the fucking club at the back of my head. I wondered if it was to prove to Lilith that he could hurt me as he had said, or maybe he just desired to inflict pain on people.I opened my eyes slowly, allowing them to adjust to the bright lighting in the room. When they were fully opened, they flickered to Lilith, who paced around the room with a mug clasped in her hands.I grimaced,
IN THE CAPO'S BED Lacking parental love
LILITH POVAbout a few minutes later, we were out of the cage room and outside in the cold. I hurried towards Giovanni as he strode to the car, with Theo carrying Casey walking behind us.Theo promised to take Casey home, although I had declined his offer. It made no sense that I let my best friend be taken home by someone she wasn't familiar with. But I trusted Theo.He wasn't a creep and would ensure Casey arrived home and was well taken care of before leaving.I knew that Casey would be fine with him. So, I allowed it after much prodding."Wait up," I said to Giovanni as he continued walking.I walked as fast as my aching legs could carry me. When we reached the car, I gripped the door's handle before Giovanni could.I didn't let go and that made him turn to me.He furrowed his brows, staring down at me."Are you mad at me?" I asked him. "I know I shouldn't have brought Casey here. It's my fault that happened to her. Besides, I didn't want to be alone because you're mostly either t
IN THE CAPO'S BED Unwilling captor
LILITH POVEverything happened so fast that I could barely keep up. From Giovanni landing the first punch to Jared, my so-called captor retaliated, and everyone started fighting.My attention was mainly on Giovanni, who had succeeded in shoving Jared into the cage facing him off.I hadn't seen Giovanni in a fistfight before until now. Oh boy, he easily was the sexiest man I had ever seen despite the blood dripping from his hands and bruises on the side of his face.I hadn't doubted Giovanni beating Jared but I never thought it would be as easy as this.It looked like this was what he did everyday and Jared wasn't even a match for him.Giovanni emerged from the cage a while later, wiping the blood in his hands.He gripped the door of the cage and pointed to Jared's body, which was now on the ground.Two men immediately ran towards the body and pulled him up. I recalled one of the men as the guard who had stopped me from entering the VIP section the first time I met face-to-face with Gi
IN THE CAPO'S BED She's the bet
GIOVANNI POVWe were done with the meeting. Although the underground club, as it was called so as not to draw unwanted attention, wasn't just filled with one Mafia group. There were different factions from different Italian mafia families. It was owned by multiple factions, and everyone had gathered to decide who would get what cut of the profits.Not to brag, but I had the most significant profit in this underground club. Likewise, the club wouldn't be functioning without my influence."Really?" Theo murmured, igniting his fourth cigarette since today. "Bringing her here? What point are you trying to make exactly?"I shrugged, walking to the window and staring at the darkened area. I could only see the three swaying gently as the wind blew it. Also, it was possible to see the twin lampposts a few distance from the tree.We were in an office that could be used by anyone. This was a private space, especially when you had something you desired to say and didn't want the world to know ab
IN THE CAPO'S BED Part of the bet
LILITH POVIt wasn't long after Theo left as well to go into the room I had been in. I was with Casey once again in the cage room.Both of us looked lost and wondered what to do with our time. We needed to wait for Giovanni and Theo to be done with whatever they were doing before leaving here."Where did you go?" Casey asked me as we walked towards the bar at the room's corner. Less people gathered there. Most of the people were close to the cage, which was situated in the room's center, and they were fixated on the event that was going on.Also, they had servers bringing wines and liquor to them, so they had no reason to come to the bar except if it was necessary."In a room," I murmured. Casey raised her brows, and I thought of what to add precisely to what I said.It was a room filled with all sorts of things, perhaps the ones I hadn't seen yet, and it was the reason Giovanni wanted me out of there. To shield me. But I doubted that was the case because if he had wanted to shield me
IN THE CAPO'S BED They're waiting. who's waiting?
GIOVANNI POVI stared at Lilith. She still had her thinking face on. It was tilted in the air, and her lower lip between her teeth and forehead had crease lines. I was expecting her to heed my advice and do as I said. Bringing her here might not have been the best thing I ever did as far as I was concerned.She was in the danger zone and barely had any experience with the Mafia world. If that was Diamante, she had all the knowledge from her father. Lilith was different.At this same time, I wanted her to see me for who I was. There was no way I could give her what she desired and there was no point in her staying with me because it would be a waste of time.I was doing her a favor and hoped she was sensible enough to know that."Maybe I am not brainy after all," Lilith finally said. She shrugged her tiny shoulders and a small smile formed on her face.She was exceptionally gorgeous tonight. It wasn't the makeup. She was always this beautiful but something about her tonight was somewha
IN THE CAPO'S BED Scared? Do you want me to be?
LILITH POVThe room wasn't as dark as I had thought. I guessed it was due to the dimness, and my brain had processed that it was that way; hence, I had seen nothing at first.All the same, I was still curious."What's going on? Why am I here?" I asked Giovanni."Relax," that was the only thing he said as his hand, once again, snaked around my waist.Relax? I wanted to scream at him. How the hell was I going to relax in this manner? What the fuck was he thinking bringing me in here?! Ever since I had been following Giovanni, this was the first time I'd be in such an atmosphere as intense as this.Although I had seen him with guns many times, killed people, and even once saw him being shot at, the first time, that was all.We were always in a high-profile event with wealthy-looking men and women.This wasn't as noisy and chaotic as the first place we were in, but it didn't make it less dangerous.This place was darker. Cooler. It seemed like the place where silence held more weight than
IN THE CAPO'S BED She's my best friend, Casey
LILITH POVI had no choice but to leave the house. Casey waited until it was precisely the time to lead me out. She had borrowed me one of her dresses because she believed the ones in my wardrobe weren't fitting for the occasion that Giovanni wanted.Even though we didn't know what the occasion was about. I never knew, so I wasn't even surprised one bit.When I was out of the house after giving an excuse to my mother to stay over at Casey's for the night, to which she had agreed, Casey and I both walked to the bus stop, where we waited for Giovanni to arrive.In about ten minutes, the car was here but he wasn't the one picking me up. It was Rowland and Giovanni wasn't even in the car.I furrowed my brows as I walked to the car, leaning close to the window, "Where's Giovanni?" I asked him."The boss is in the party. He needs to arrive there because he's having an important meeting in about," Rowland stared at his watch, before glancing back to me, "2 minutes and shoot! He asked me to b
IN THE CAPO'S BED In the spotlight
LILITH POVI was right about being on the news, on the front page, seeing as Diamante's father was an influential man in society, and so was Giovanni, too. But the caption that was on wasn't a pretty one.I grimace, staring at the paper in my hand again."The orge that came in between the princess...""Excuse you?!" Casey snatched the paper from me and slammed it on the table. "Hey, I told you to stop reading that. It's not your fault that her ex didn't take her back despite everything she tries to do to you.""She's a bitch and for one, I am glad she's receiving everything she tries to dish out to you."On the other hand, I felt the opposite. It wasn't as if I was sad about what happened between her and Giovanni, but the fact that she had threatened me and my baby. Also, she had made it seem like I had thrown myself at Giovanni and was solely after his money. That was what was on the headline.The paper wasn't just about them, it was mostly about me. Also, against me.The only time
