IN THE CAPO'S BED We're not done here.
LILITH POVGiovanni ordered the usual double espresso while I opted for a cappuccino and cinnamon rolls.I was suddenly hungry. I recalled I had barely touched the pasta earlier.I ate, not minding that Giovanni was watching me. He didn't do anything else, and I couldn't help but wonder why.In between mouths filled with Cinnamon rolls, I asked him, "What do you want? Don't tell me you drove all the way from your home to come watch me." Or maybe he had left home early so he'd come and stalk me.Giovanni chuckled softly. He didn't seem a bit offended by what I had said. It was meant to come out casually, but the sarcasm was very noticeable."How would you know I drove all the way down here? I could have easily entered the bus. It's for everyone, you know.""Of course," I muttered. I wasn't dumb, and I knew he hadn't been to the bus station. I doubt if he had ever used it."So, what brings you here?""You know," Giovanni said, casually leaning back on his chair. He rested his hand on th

LILITH POVThe airport buzzed around me, a chaotic blend of rolling suitcases, echoing voices, and the occasional announcements cutting through the noise.I leaned against the cool metal railing near the arrivals exit, my eyes fixed on the stream of travelers emerging through the sliding doors.Inhaling as the smell of freshly brewed coffee teased my nostrils, I let my eyes wander briefly to the nearby café."Tempting," I muttered, shaking my head. I couldn't bring myself to move from where I was, not even for a quick sip that I needed badly to keep myself alert.I could miss Casey, which I didn't want to do.Casey's call woke me up this morning, and she announced returning home with no explanation whatsoever. I didn't prod her to give me the answers I needed because I knew I'd be seeing her, and we'd get to have a sleepover. So, I'd get to ask her whatever I wanted.Yes, my mother had allowed the sleepover. It was Casey, so she'd allow anything that involved her.I stared at the bouq

LILITH POV"It's okay to love him. We all do," Rachel, the host of this charity event, said.She grabbed a glass of wine from a passing waiter before sitting where Giovanni had been a while ago before he excused himself.I stared at Giovanni again, as I had been doing for the past few minutes. He was still conversing with the men in black and grey suits.They looked serious and deep in conversation. He had barely turned to glance at me. Even though I didn't mind, he was having an important discussion, and looking at me should be the last thing he wanted to do.I reluctantly peeled my eyes away from him to stare at Rachel.She was a woman in her late forties, with a handsome face and the fullest mouth I had ever seen on a woman. I wanted to believe it was natural, but as a woman of her caliber and wealth, I doubted she hadn't had any work done.Even her nose was too straight; it almost looked unnatural. Her eyes were deep-set, and her cheekbones were high.She didn't give off that Ital

LILITH POVTWO WEEKS LATER(CLINIC NEAR THE UNIVERSITY.)The bleach and antiseptic smell of the hospital stuck to my senses just as doctor's words replayed in my mind.Pregnant. I was pregnant. My stomach flipped, though I couldn't tell if it was the nausea that was threatening to push itself back up my throat or what she had said and the hopeful smile on her face.That was the last thing I'd have thought was happening. I hadn't thought of missing my period; I had only thought of the nausea that hit me every time during the morning. I had assumed it was food poisoning. Even as I barely eat at home and only with Giovanni.I was relieved at the same time, too stunned to speak.Staring blankly at the clipboard in her hands, then the printed confirmation in mine, I folded the paper. I shook my head, barely managing to whisper, "Are you sure?""The test results are conclusive. Congratulations."Congratulations?No. No. No! I didn't want to be Congratulated!I was nineteen years old, in my

GIOVANNI POV"You didn't do that, man," Theo said at the other end."I did," I murmured, taking a drag from the cigar in between my fingers."That's Diego's cousin." Theo reminded me."And?" I arched a brow. "My sister died because of that wimp. And I did what I got to do."I shrugged, walking to the window and peering out of it."You're calling for war, bro. Pulling a hit on his nephew isn't the right way to go about it. What if he isn't responsible? It's possible he's only there at the wrong time-""I don't care if he's not directly involved. He placed his dirty hands on Marcella." I said through clenched teeth.The video I had watched the other day and maybe more of him terrorising her each time. I had tried my best not to give in to my rage, but I couldn't.I couldn't overlook everything he had done, and watching him walk the university as if he fucking owned it.He had been hitting on Lilith, and to stop him from doing the same thing he did to Marcella, I had done what I needed t

LILITH POVHugging him felt so nice. His familiar manly cologne enveloped me, making me momentarily forget my ordeal and the reason I had come to school in the first place.I shouldn't enjoy being in his presence in this form, but I couldn't stop it on my own will. I was Raven. I was Lilith. What Raven felt, Lilith would do, too.I was stupidly in love with someone who didn't care about me. A potential murderer. Even though he hadn't accepted the fact that he killed Melvin, I believed he was the one who did. He was the only one I gave the information to."Did you come here to enjoy what's happening? Perhaps you take pleasure in seeing people cry." I murmured, my back was still turned to him.I hadn't made a move away from where I was, even as I had told him I was leaving."You see me as a monster," Giovanni chuckled. "Even if I was responsible for the death of that little shit, wouldn't you want to know why it happened? Would you think he deserved it after knowing, or would you judge

GIOVANNI POVI walked into the hospital, ignoring the eyes that followed me. When I got to the room Don Massimo was in, I opened the door, stepped inside, and locked it behind me to ward off intrusive nurses.Also, I wanted to be in the room alone with him.I had been restless since I heard the news about Massimo being hit. I had gone to Varese, a town about 15km from Milan. I couldn't leave there as fast as the news came due to the negotiation that was currently ongoing. If I left, I'd be missing out on the deal.In the Mafia world, leaving a negotiation halfway could be seen as a sign of weakness. Since I had enemies everywhere, they'd surely take advantage of the situation and jump in on any offer given in the deal just to spite me.It was Don Massimo who had sent me there, and now, thinking about it, I wondered if this had been set up so I'd leave and Don Massimo could be hit.They knew if I were around, they wouldn't have been able to pull this shit.I drew out a chair and sat on

GIOVANNI POVI stepped out of my car and looked around me.The sun's golden rays covered everything, but they did nothing to distract me from the eerie stillness of this place. Her home—or whatever you could call it—sat at the edge of a swamp, its wooden stilts rising just enough to keep it from sinking into the murky water below. The air was thick with humidity, sticking to my skin like an unwelcome second layer. Around me, the buzz of insects was incessant, making the silence even louder between their calls. But it still gave life to this place.The house itself was a patchwork of faded wood, rusted tin, and scraps of colorful fabric strung up. Wind chimes made of bones and broken glasses hung from the porch, clinking softly in the warm breeze. A small black cat darted out from the shadows, its yellow eyes fixed on me before disappearing just as quickly into the underbush.It wasn't my first time coming here. Whenever we desired to embark on a mission, our first stop would be here

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

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
