IN THE CAPO'S BED He's not your husband
LILITH POVI was yet to recover from the trauma of the burning building. Well, the building that didn't get burnt. It was apparently a false alarm, and the smoke that people had seen coming out of the building was from several burning papers. I didn't know how the perpetrators had done it, but it was very clever of them.I couldn't tell who had been targeted, but I believed I was lucky to have come out alive sustaining just bruises.The bruises were yet to leave. I bet it would take another two weeks for it to finally be erased from my skin.Yesterday, going out with Giovanni, I used makeup to cover up all the bruises on my skin. I shouldn't be going around with bruises as Raven.My cheeks heat up as I recall what had been done to Marcella's gravestone. I hoped I was forgiven by her.Due to the desire that had enveloped me yesterday, I had forgotten to ask Giovanni about what caused the death of his sister. At the same time, I was glad it was his sister and not some ex-lover or wife.

LILITH POV I left the university hospital to go to class as usual. However, all that was taught barely registered in my mind. I could only think of Diamante and all the threats she had poured out. She was going to harm me and the baby. She had planted the drugs on me, and she was going to do worse to us. Was I scared? I wasn't one bit. At least I wasn't scared for myself but for the safety of the child. Giovanni didn't know about the baby yet, I wondered if I should call him to tell him and mention the threats from Diamante. However, what would I say to him? "Hey, Giovanni. I happen to get pregnant for you, and I am about 9 weeks pregnant. I know it's not part of the deal, but will you accept the child? Also, your crazy ex is threatening my life this instant. And do you know she's the one who planted that drug on me? Of course, you must have suspected that!" I cringed as I repeated the words over again in my head. No, it wasn't good enough. I didn't even think Giovanni would ac

GIOVANNI POVI snorted, staring from Jacques to Luca and then the soldati that were in the room.I stood from where I was sitting, took a few walks around the room, and then returned to my desk."You're telling me the plan was foiled? I mean, the plan we fucking did in secret was miraculously known; hence the bastard got to escape?!""We'll do better next time," One of the soldati murmured.I scowled at him, using all my willpower to stop myself from hurling the contents of my cup at him.I didn't care about the plan being futile. Of course, I could make another hit on Diego Cardenas until I was satisfied with the result.It was because the information had leaked out. That was what was pissing me off.The meeting was held between everyone who was here. The information could have only been obtained through one person here, or someone must have said something outside.I wanted to believe we had a spy here but the person must have a fucking death wish to be willing to spy on me.Certainl

LILITH POVI gasped as I came to. I opened my eyes, blinking as I stared around to ascertain where I was, but it was impossible to make out anything. I believed it was the bag over my head or a blindfold; I couldn't tell. But certainly, there was something obstructing my vision.My head pounded like I had about three drums inside, where people continued to beat, venting their frustration. My wrists burned, and I tried to raise my hands but I sensed they were tied together as the rope bit into them."She's awake," I heard a voice say. It wasn't familiar, unlike the one that had pulled me into the car."Hello?" I called. But I doubted anyone would answer me.My ears perked up as I heard footsteps approaching. I turned my attention towards the direction, sniffing the air. The smell of mildew and oil wafted up my nose, and so did the unmistakable odor of blood. My stomach churned, causing me to grimace, and I bit my lower lip to push back the vomit that surged up my throat."Not now," I h
Last Updated : 2025-01-21IN THE CAPO'S BED Raven and Lilith are one person
GIOVANNI POVI paced the living room. After hearing the news of Lilith being kidnapped, I dismissed Luca and the others. Even though I wanted to immediately spring forth into action, launching an attack on Diego needed proper planning.It was even more necessary now that we had a potential spy in our midst. I knew I wouldn't be saying any of the plans I had to all of them.Luca and Jacques were enough for me to fill them in on the development on the ground. Also, having a plan B was paramount.I glared at the door as I stopped in the middle of the room, Luca stepped inside. He was the last person I wanted to see at this minute.I wanted to be alone with my thoughts. I needed a fucking clearhead where Diego was concerned.He stood by the door, staring at me. I believed it was to see if I was approachable or not.Luca nodded, letting out a sigh as he stepped closer."What do you want?" I asked him.He brought out the same purple butterfly hairclips he had a few days ago once more."Last

LILITH POVIt was three days that Diego Cardenas had put me in the cell. Although it was more like a room, seeing as I had a standard bed I could sleep in, a nice bathroom, good meal that was often rejected by me, I still was in a prison because I couldn't step out of the room.I couldn't even look out of the damned window without him barking orders through the intercom announcing my death if I kept looking.I didn't even have a phone to contact anyone. Everything I had with me was confiscated.I stood from the bed, pacing the room. Glaring at nothing in particular, I walked to the sofa in the room's center and sat heavily on it.Giovanni wasn't here and it didn't even look like he was coming. It was fucking three days already. If he had wanted to come, then he should have been here. At this moment, I doubted if I meant anything to him. Maybe I wasn't as important to him as they thought I was.Then, if that was the case, I'd fucking rot here."So much for having so much trust in him c
Last Updated : 2025-01-23IN THE CAPO'S BED Is that a threat?
LILITH POVI was rudely awoken by a deafening bang. Disoriented, I rubbed at my tired eyes, looking around the darkened room.It was already evening, and the moon wasn't out. I could tell because from where my bed was, I could see the moon. Diego told me he had allowed it to be so because he wanted me to feel as though I wasn't alone.I didn't know if he meant for that to be sarcastic because he had looked and sounded so severe. It wasn't as if I could talk to the moon, complain to the moon about my predicament, or even request for a hug from it.Another bang again, causing me to jolt. I grimace, placing my hand on my pounding chest. It was already past 8pm, I wondered who the fuck was doing that. Beating on a drum as if they were the only person here. It could be Jamie but I didn't think he'd want to disturb Diego.I walked to the window, there was nothing much to see except the swaying of tall trees and the lovely stars that were starting to adorn the sky."Fuck it," I muttered as t

LILITH POV I am alive. That was the first thing I thought as soon as I came awake. Then, the beeping, slow, rhythmic, and persistent sound in the room followed soon after. I slowly peeled my eyes open, then shut them back, wincing as light flooded them. No doubt, I was in the hospital. The same place I had left about a week ago. I had returned to it. My nose wrinkled as the scent of sterile disinfectant reached my nostrils, and a wave of vomit surged through me. I pushed it back. "Mom?" I murmured as I noticed a mop of greying brown hair resting on the small place beside me. My mother raised her head. Briefly, she stared at me. I believe she was startled to see me awake. It took a few seconds for realization to dawn on her. Her eyes widened as she gazed at me once more. "Baby," she whispered, gripping my hand. Her grip on me was so tight that I believed she was still finding it hard to believe I was awake. "Mom," I murmured, attempting to crack a smile. But it came out as a

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
