IN THE CAPO'S BED I'm sorry
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

LILITH POV"Does he know about the baby?""Nope," I said, pressing the phone to my right ear with my shoulder.Casey told me about seeing Giovanni in front of his usual spot today. He asked after me, and she denied knowing me.It was funny thinking about it now, but I knew Casey; I believe she was trying to protect me. It wasn't as if she didn't know who Giovanni was since I had told her a lot about him; she must have done that on impulse."Why didn't you let him know? Does your mother know, too?"I didn't respond to her as my mother suddenly appeared in the doorway. I flashed her a brief smile, arching a brow."Dinner is ready," she said."I'll be out in a few minutes," I said to her, hoping they would eat without me. I didn't think I was interested in eating whatever was prepared. By the smell drifting into my room, I could guess she had made pasta, bacon, and some pancakes.They were, in fact, one of my favorites, but at this moment, I preferred not to eat any. I'd rather go to bed

GIOVANNI POVI was at the location Mama Cole asked me to be; honestly, it wasn't like anything I had imagined. Also, I hadn't been here before.The roads were uneven and cracked in some places, but they were still functioning. They wound between low-rise buildings. Some of the buildings looked really old but were livable.It was far from the polished, manicured world I was used to. There was no glamour, no pretense. The people moved with quiet confidence, their clothes simple. They didn't care to impress anyone. There was no need. Their presence alone commanded respect.I was in their settlement—the nomads. As I had heard, they had a tight-knit community that protected its own no matter what. They were known to be resourceful, adaptable, and fiercely independent. However, they were outcasts, wild and ruthless—unforgiving in their ways.They curse people just for the fun of it and when asked to lift the curse, they'd send them to the devil to ask for his mercy because mercy wasn't thei

GIOVANNI POVA while later, when I came awake, I found myself in an unfamiliar room with nothing on. The girl I had seen before wasn't there, and I wondered if she had done something to me because it made no sense she had stripped me of my clothes just to help me tend to my injuries.I glanced around.The room had a dim ambient light that filtered through large windows, offering a skyline view in the distance.The walls were a soft gray, decorated with murals, and the furniture was all sharp angles and dark, polished wood.I tried to sit up but immediately regretted it as the pain in my side flared to life again. I stared at my side and noticed a small incision there. I certainly didn't get it from the people stoning me."That little witch," I murmured, clearing at the mark.From the corner of my eyes, I saw the man from earlier. John, was that his name? He was standing by the window, looking out at the city below. I hadn't noticed him there because I didn't look at that side of the w

LILITH POV"Have you been hiding from me?""Have you been stalking me?" I retorted, walking as fast as I could. "The police are a phone call away."I waved my phone in front of Giovanni."Hey!" he yanked the phone from me."Give it back!" I yelled, standing on tiptoes as he raised the phone higher."It's rude, you know; I was only trying to make a conversation. Involving the cops when I am totally harmless, eh?""And stalking is a crime, so yeah, I am in my right to involve the cops," I jumped to reach for my phone, but Giovanni only made it even more difficult as he rose to his full height.I huffed, relenting. I doubted I'd be able to take the phone from him because, if you hadn't noticed, Giovanni was several inches taller than I was, and without the six inches I often wore, I was merely reaching his chest."You're the one who's rude for stalking me. Stop getting in my personal space. I don't know you, you don't know me. We never met in my university. In fact, pretend as if I do no
ปรับปรุงล่าสุด : 2025-01-12IN THE CAPO'S BED This is a public space, love
I winced, shoving my hands into my hair. The loud music playing from the old jukebox was beginning to get to me. My head pounded, and my eyes hurt from the disco lights swirling around.I was in the clubhouse, Velvet Haven, in the gritty part of downtown. I know I shouldn't be here. But Casey had guilt trip me into coming. Also, I didn't want to stay cooped up indoors thinking about my pathetic pregnant life.So, I gave in. It wasn't as if I'd be drinking. But I could badly use one drink right now. At least to calm my nerves and to stop me from waking over the pudgy man that was sitting in the corner, eyefucking me.I tried to concentrate on Casey's dancing. She was grounding into a shirtless dude. He was all over her, and I had seen both even share a kiss. Yeah, she was totally fine with it.That was Casey, but she had boundaries. I knew she wouldn't go overboard by fucking this total stranger in the presence of everyone except if he was her date. But he wasn't. She had come alone wi
ปรับปรุงล่าสุด : 2025-01-12IN THE CAPO'S BED Happy Birthday
LILITH POV It was two days since I met with Giovanni at the convenience store, two days since he killed a man in front of me, acting as though it was nothing, and two days for a breath of fresh air without wondering if he was going to appear before me or not. Today was Romeo's birthday. He'd officially be seventeen years old today, and I was hyped up for it. Even though my mother didn't seem the least bit interested, she mentioned not being able to afford to throw a party for him, which made her feel somewhat down, although I assured her it wasn't her fault we were in poverty. I had made it my responsibility to make Romeo feel special today, and I was going to fulfill it without any distractions. "Does he like chocolate or strawberry?" Casey asked, curious. We were in the dessert section of the store to get some prebaked cake because baking would take a lot of time, and we hadn't planned the day before. Also, if we decided to bake, it would be in Casey's house and not mine because

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
IN THE CAPO'S BED I shall remind you...
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
