IN THE CAPO'S BED I won't bother you
GIOVANNI POV"Do you care for some company?" the third woman, a brunette now, walked up to me. Her manicured fingers spread on my chest while she sat on the vacant chair next to me."I can't help but notice how quiet you are," she said.I turned around, looking at Boaz before shooting him a glare as he shrugged.That bastard. Always wanting to set me up.I knew he was waiting for me to slip. It would only take a picture of everything planned for tomorrow to be ruined, and I wouldn't let that happen.She'd be the third woman I'd be ignoring tonight, and it wasn't as if she wasn't beautiful. She was drop-dead gorgeous, with shoulder-length dark brown hair. Her caramel skin shone as the disco light hit it, and her lips were full, tempting, and begging to be kissed.But in all, she wasn't a match for the image I currently had in my head.Lilith. Even in her absence, she still had a firm hold on me. I had tried to imagine what she'd be up to all evening and even checked my damned phone to

LILITH POV"I'M COMING TO GET YOU AND PRAY I DON'T GET BLOOD ON MY HANDS TONIGHT,"I stared at my phone, blinking away the daze from my eyes as I read the text from Giovanni. I had had too much booze, but that didn't mean I wasn't conscious of what was happening. Also, I knew I shouldn't be drinking.Giovanni would kill me if I caught myself with the alcohol, but this might be the last time I'd get to have a taste of alcohol.I stared at my phone still in my hand, furrowing my brows.I had sent a message to Giovanni and not just any message, but a picture message of me with some guys grounding into me and a bloody voice text of me...moaning."Shit!" I mumbled, stumbling towards the bar stool. How the hell did I do that?Of course, I could remember everything and I hated the fact that I could.After thinking about Giovanni nonstop, the dancing barely keeping my attention away from him, I brought out my phone and took some pictures. The most intimate pictures ever and proceeded to make

LILITH POV"What the hell were you thinking?" Giovanni grunted as soon as I stepped into the room. I stayed by the door, looking around the dimly lit room, anywhere else except for him."You sneaked in men to an all-female party, and as if that isn't enough, you proceeded to dress like a prostitute and act like one in front of that idiot!""You said I could do as I desire," I whispered. Clearing my throat, I heaved a breath.The effect of the alcohol in my head was slowly subsiding, but what happened was still in my head.I couldn't help but wonder if that guy was truly killed because Giovanni had practically dragged me away from the party, while Xanthos Christie.I didn't know how Casey had managed to go home. I wanted to believe that Theo or someone else had helped in taking her home."I said you could do as you desire, but that doesn't mean you should act totally irresponsible!"I flinched at his voice. It kept going high and high. I was glad that the room was soundproof. The last

LILITH POV This was my world, but tonight felt different. The music's beat throbbed through my chest, grounding me as I stepped onto the stage. Here, I wasn't Lilith Russo, the awkward nineteen-year-old college student who trips on her own two feet. Lilith Russo, who couldn't look into anyone's eyes or make a coherent sentence without fumbling or blasting out classical literature to hide her nervousness. I was known as The Raven. A beautiful seductress, a shadow they couldn't touch but watch, a desire they couldn't hold but feel. Letting out a deep breath, my hands gripped the pole. I started slow, letting the rhythm seep into my bones, each sway of my hips a controlled invitation. I let go of the pole and let my fingers glide along my thighs, a practiced movement meant to tease. Of course, I knew how to play this game and dangle just enough mystery to keep them wanting without giving too much. "How much for that whore?" I heard whispers. It wasn't the first time an

LILITH'S POV I gasped as a hand gripped me, stopping me from moving further. A relieved sigh pierced through me as I saw it was Marco. I couldn't be any happier to see his annoying face; at least he had stopped me from making a terrible mistake. He pulled me towards the room's corner, where it was quieter. Many people do not come to this part of La Notte; you only come here when you want privacy. I frown, staring at Marco, wondering what he wanted. "How are you?" His toffee-brown eyes moved over my body. "Um, fine, I guess," I laughed. Even as I was anything but that. My body ached from exerting too much pressure on it. You'd think doing this for three years would make me an expert in the field, but I was far from that. Also, the fact that Marco was asking about my well-being when he had never indeed cared made it even more laughable. "Good," he nodded. "Do you remember the deal from earlier?" Tilting my head, I tried to remember the exact deal he was talking about. W

LILITH'S POV My head hurt, and likewise, my throat. It wasn't easy to keep my eyes open because it closed by itself as soon as I opened them. I couldn't remember the last time I tasted booze. It was my first time in La Notte, and I was clueless about what was being done. Someone had offered me a drink, and I had drunk without thinking. That was the first time I suffered from a hangover, and also the last time I stopped drinking since I tend to do something out of the ordinary. When I mean out of the ordinary, I embarrass myself. Last night, I never wanted to drink, but it was the only thing that could keep me calm. I never would have imagined that a glass would knock me out cold. Shifting on the bed, I heaved a breath, pushing back the nausea that surged through me, before opening my eyes. They slowly accommodated to the brightness of the room. I glanced at myself as I felt exposed. I couldn't remember slipping out of my clothes last night or maybe I had changed before returning

GIOVANNI POVBeing made in the family—it was more than a title. It was a damn oath written in blood. I'd earned my bones long ago, proving to Don Massimo that I had the stomach for what The Life demanded.As a capo in La Famiglia Ricci, it was my job to run my crew with a tight fist to make sure no one got any ideas about stepping out of line. To keep the family's interest protected, to settle debts, to enforce loyalty—I did what was needed to do. And in return? I had the family's backing. Respect, fear.But it wasn't all power and luxury. Being a made man meant you didn't get to quit, didn't get to retire. You either did the work, or you were sleeping with the fishes. That was how it was, how it always would be."Capo." Jacques, one of my muscles said.I stopped walking to stare at him. He was standing by Luca. Jacques and Luca were my muscles, always two steps behind and ready to handle any trouble that came my way. Loyalty was everything in this line of work; they were the only one

LILITH'S POV I felt jittery. Rubbing my clammy palms on the A-shaped brown skirt I wore for the umpteenth time, I placed my hand on my raving heart. "Take a deep breath, Lilith, and remember that the universe is unfolding as it should be." taking two deep reassuring gulps of air as if my life depended on it, I walked towards the entrance of the hall. I had practiced for the test a week before and was sure it was also child's play. In fact, I had skimmed through my notes before arriving at school. However, I couldn't tell why I was afraid of failing. Maybe it was because of Social Psychology (PSY 340), and I had heard a lot of rumors from the seniors about that class. I guessed it was because I learned one could fail without trying, which made me a bit nervous. "Fuck, watch where you are going?!" A voice growled, causing me to jump back in fright. I had almost slammed into him. It was my fault; I didn't watch where I was going. "I'm sorry," I stuttered, bending to pick up my book

LILITH POVI knew I couldn't stay mad at Casey for long; honestly, I had already settled with her within me the last time she was here. I just didn't want her to keep apologizing to me over and over again.Now, it was a week after and the eve of my wedding. Yes, wedding.I agreed to get married to Giovanni. For love? No.But for protection's sake. Yes.Also, he had sweetly proposed two days after his initial proposal in the fanciest way I couldn't even imagine.It was held at a charity gala, which he co-hosted, and everyone was present, the boys and even Christie, to witness it that day. I wouldn't say I enjoyed the cameras that went off like crazy that day, but the best thing was that Giovanni had made the proper proposal, and even if we weren't going to get married for love, it was better than a secret proposal."How do I look?" Christie broke of my thoughts, checking herself out in the mirror. She was wearing a sleeveless red sequined halter gown, reaching just her knees. It hugged
IN THE CAPO'S BED Ex-bestfriend
LILITH POVThe doorbell rang for the second time, and I paused the movie I was watching. My eyes wandered to the clock in the living room, it was noon.My mother was in her room, sleeping, maybe while Romeo had gone out with Giovanni. Only God knows where.But I wasn't bothered. I knew no matter what, he'd protect Romeo from arm's way.That said, I wasn't expecting anyone and couldn't help but wonder who was at the door.I walked to the door, looking through the peephole, but I couldn't make out anyone there."A prank?" I wondered. It wasn't even April or Halloween for anyone to have wanted to prank me.But I opened regardless. I knew I was safe in Giovanni’s house and I wouldn't be getting attacked because not only would an intruder have been caught at the heavily guarded entrance, they wouldn't have had a chance to sneak to get to the door because there were surveillance cameras everywhere.I opened the door slowly, standing behind it, and peeking. When I saw who was there, I let th
IN THE CAPO'S BED Marriage is sacred
LILITH POV"Marry you?" I echoed back the words that Giovanni had said. I couldn't hide the disbelief in my voice or on my face.Surely, he was trying to tease me. Giovanni would never ask me to marry him, but that was a fucking red velvet box on the table.It could only be a ring inside. Of course. Nothing else would fit into a box as small as that.But Giovanni didn't make a commitment. He didn't want to get married to me, and he had said it himself. But what had changed?"I don't understand you, Giovanni," I said to him, moving closer to the table to take a closer look at the box. It was still closed. There was nothing special about it. Just the fact that it was red and an expensive-looking ring would be in it.I was tempted to take it, open it, and see what was inside for myself. But I didn't want to be too forward. Also, what if he was only trying to test me to see if I was still very much in love with him?I never did stop loving him, though, and I didn't think I'd ever stop.I
IN THE CAPO'S BED Marry me
GIOVANNI POV"Bloody bastard!"I heard Gabriele Amato yell as soon as I stepped out of the house."Who the hell did he think he is? Just because he took over from that bloody thief, he believes he can walk all over us?""Father!""That's your chance to become a married woman, Diamante. Who would take you after the humiliation he put you through? I don't want any other man for you, except for him. Better start thinking of how to get to him."I scoffed, moving away from the entrance to the car. Like father, like daughter. I wasn't surprised.It was more irritating that Diamante was acting as if she was on my side. As if she hadn't planned with her father to ruin me.I hated when she looked innocent and unaware of what was going on.Whereas it was fucking planned by both of them.Rowland stepped out of the car and opened the door for me.I slid into it, sighing."Did the meeting go well?" he asked me, his hands on the steering wheel.I looked at him through the opened divider and shook m
IN THE CAPO'S BED A woman of no background
GIOVANNI POVI clutched my hands tightly in front of me to stop me from doing what I had in mind. To strangle the breath out of Diamante and watch the life slowly fade away from her.I wanted to call her bluff. Even though I knew there was a 99% possibility that I had fathered the bastard inside her because I released it before I could stop myself, I still wanted to say to her face that she was lying.Diamante, seeing the stunned expression on my face, laughed heartily.This situation didn't warrant any laughter. I wanted to know the fucking truth.She just told you. My subconscious jeered."Are you surprised, Giovanni?" she asked me. "I stopped using birth control pills a long time ago. I had no one to fuck, so I didn't see any reasons to keep using it. Besides, stop looking at me as if I am the one who caused it. We both lost control. So, be a man and take up your responsibility."I opened my mouth to speak, but Gabriele Amato interrupted our conversation when he returned.He had a

GIOVANNI POVMy heart throbbed once again. I didn't know why it kept doing that. It had been doing that since I stepped out of the house. I felt kind of guilty for not precisely telling Lilith what was happening.I shouldn't feel that way because it was my life, and it wasn't as if I was bound to anyone or I promised to stay with anyone forever; I couldn't help it. I think Lilith deserved to know about Diamante's plot.At the same time, leaving her out of it seemed like the best decision ever."We are here," Rowland announced. I looked at the elegant Victorian building in front of me.The Amato's villa. The first time I came here was the last time, and it was to ensure her safety. After a message from her wanting to end it all, I arrived at the villa, hoping she was joking, until I saw it for myself.Also, after confronting her father, even though we didn't speak much and I said most of the words since I was pissed at him for neglecting his daughter in that manner, I realized he didn'
