IN THE CAPO'S BED Your brother is here
LILITH POVIt was past 10pm, and Romeo had yet to be home. Ever since we arrived here, he had barely kept up late at night. Also, he sometimes mentioned that he'd be arriving late, which always put our minds at ease.But since he left, no words had been heard from him. He didn't even tell my mother where he had wandered off to since I asked her, nor Giovanni, who was starting to look like a brother figure to him."Did I do too much?" I groaned out, stretching out on the sofa in Giovanni’s office.I was lucky to see his office open when I went there after my confrontation with Casey, and I told him everything that had happened."Do you think I spoke to him too harshly?" I questioned again. "Although I am not sorry for what I said to Casey."She should have known better. She was my best friend and had gone behind me to do what she did.Giovanni was quiet. His head was bowed, and he was barely staring at me."Say something," I mumbled. Anything from him at all. I couldn't understand why

LILITH POVI had thought I'd meet a sane Romeo in the living room, but the person that was here was barely the Romeo that left a few hours ago.He looked tattered and beaten, even as I could spot bruises on his face. Also, it seemed like he had jumped into the mud and rolled himself around until he was satisfied.I pinched my nose as I got closer to him. I didn't understand the stench coming from him. I could smell the distinct aroma of alcohol and something else."Romeo," I called him, but he wasn't even listening to me. I didn't think he was in the right state of mind to listen to anyone.He stumbled around the living room, picking everything in his way and tossing it around.He kept muttering nonsensical words, and he stilled when his eyes landed on me.For a brief seconds, he seemed to have returned to his normal self, until the crazed expression returned to his eyes."You dirty whore," he pointed to me and began to walk towards me.I stood rooted in the spot I was, not moving an

GIOVANNI POVThe door clicked shut as I stepped in. Lilith was close to it, and she didn't make a move to even move closer.Inhaling deeply to curb the rage that was suddenly filling me away, I turned to her."Why am I here?" she asked me as she continued to stand by the door.How couldn't she know? Was it her thing to always act this clueless after trying to put herself in danger, or was I the one just doing too much?No, I didn't think so. This wasn't the first time she'd acted this one, which was annoying."You bloody put yourself in danger all the fucking time, Lilith." I snapped. I couldn't hold the anger back in. "How could you just fucking stand in front of him and let you smack you with that pillow?"I had seen the interaction. I followed her as soon as she ran out of the room, and I said nothing, only watching. I had hoped she would be in control and take care of everything without me butting in. Hence, I stood and watched until it was necessary for me to speak."You saw what

LILITH POV"Good morning, mom," I whispered; my voice was groggy as I walked past my mother to the living room.I groaned as the fresh aroma of coffee wafted into my nose. That would be my mother's doing. She must have woken up early to do the cooking.I walked to the counter and poured myself a cup of coffee before sitting on one of the stools in front of the kitchen's island.I cupped the mug, enjoying the warmth that spread from it to my fingers. Sighing, I glanced behind me as I heard my mother's voice. She wasn't alone. She was with Giovanni, who walked to where I was, and, well, Romeo.Briefly, I stared at Romeo, catching the hunt of remorse in his eyes before he looked away from me.He stood in the middle of the room, pocketing his hands in the grey joggers he wore. For someone who had been totally drunk last night, he barely looked hungover.Except for the blotches on his cheeks, which I couldn't tell what caused it, and the redness of his eyes, which I believed often appeared

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'

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 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

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 I love you.
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
