Vincenzo give a look of pity to the man lying on the ground in front of him, covered in tattered clothes and blood. His own blood. He signaled his men to tie him up to the chair. He took a seat opposite to him while James observed the scene, leaning against the wall in the corner of the room."Why?" He asked calmly as Ben spat some blood on the ground. He looked Vincenzo in the eye and smirked. He was not ready to spill anything just yet. He only sighed before looking away from his boss' eyes. This infuriated Vincenzo and he grabbed his bloody face in his hands to squeeze it hard, making Ben grunt in pain."Why?" He asked again. This time with much anger, "I fucking gave you everything. Money, shelter, I even trained you myself. Then why?" his voice boomed by the end of the sentence."Why?" Ben spat. "You are fucking asking me why? The real question is why I shouldn't when you were the reason behind my misery. When you were the actual reason behind me being without a penny, me struggli
The breakfast got a little exciting as Lily couldn't erase the feeling of having Vincenzo's huge hand on her core when he rubbed her through her pants' fabric all the while acting so casual. Damn, she was definitely falling in love with him and his ways. Hold up. Did she just say love? Nope. Definitely not. She said she was falling in love with his ways. She convinced herself. She was going through her latest emails when she saw a new email pop up. "What's this?" She wondered as she clicked on the new email. Her eyes were trained on the laptop screen as she read through the message. It was an invitation to the class of 2015 of St. Lawrence high School for a reunion party, which was apparently the next day. "O.M.G," she squealed and dashed off to Rose's bedroom. "Rose! Rose! Rose," Lily burst through her bedroom door and straight away went to her bed as she started jumping on it with joy. Rose gave Lily a questioning look. "You won’t believe I got an email from St Lawrence High
Lily was happily talking to one of her old school friends with Vincenzo beside her. He looked bored as some of the girls gave him looks, but he only ended up glaring at them and pulling Lily closer to him. Things took a turn when someone unexpectedly tapped Lily's shoulder and captured both Lily’s and Vincenzo's attention. Vincenzo's fist and jaws immediately clenched at the figure in front of him. The last thing he wanted was a boy approaching Lily. That, too, in his presence! He was fuming. And what happened next had his veins pulsing. "Lucas?" Lily asked, shocked to see him there. "Hello there pretty lady," he smirked at her. "What are you doing here? I .. I thought you had joined the Military," Lily was confused but happy to see he was alright. On hearing that, it clicked to Vincenzo who he was! He was one of those Lily's ex-boyfriends who she actually liked. He remembered Lily telling him in the car the other day that he had joined the army. "You've grown even prettier, Lily
Rose was sitting on her bed thinking of how to get her phone back from Dante. She had forgotten that he still had her phone from earlier and she didn't take it back on their way home. That reminded her of the scene that happened a few hours before. She chuckled at his jealousy, finding it cute. She knocked on his door, waiting for a few seconds before it opened. Her throat dried at the sight as all the air escaped her lungs. He was freshly showered and was wearing nothing but sweat pants. His chest was bare for her to run her hands over. Oh no! What was she thinking? Stupid dirty thoughts get out of my mind, she thought, before mentally slapping herself. She remembered she was here for a purpose. But her mind blanked when her eyes met his. He was looking at her with hooded eyes. Because surely he had caught her checking him out, which got him excited in his lower regions. He had a look of desire and hunger in his eyes. He wanted her to be his in every way. But he wouldn't do anything
Vincenzo woke up to the sun beams cutting through the window glass, resting directly on his face. He flipped over to see his beautiful queen lying naked and tangled in the sheets. He admired her for some time before his phone rang. He quickly answered, not wanting his Queen's sleep to be disturbed. "Hello?" He asked in his gruff voice. "Vincy! How is my baby doing?" Cooed the voice from the other side of the phone. Immediately, a smile spread on his lips as he heard the woman's voice. "I'm good mom! How are you?" He asked with excitement. "Oh I have a surprise for my boys!" She exclaimed. "I'm coming to visit!" Their mother, Georgia, had been living in Paris ever since their father's death, in the Mansion her husband had gifted her as her last birthday present. She was so attached to him and the memories they had there, she refused to live anywhere but that house that truly felt her own. She used to visit her sons quite often, but for the time being she wasn't able to for about t
“Where is Dante, by the way?" Georgia asked, frowning. She was in the living room gossiping with Lily over tea, while Vincenzo was shocked to see how those women could go on for hours without taking a break? "I think he might still be in his room," came his reply. "OK great and then I'll see you guys at lunch. Let me go and surprise my other son," she waved at them before rushing to Dante's room. Standing outside his room, she kicked the door open as if she owned the place. She took a step in but froze at the sight in front of her. A tear leaked from her eye and continued to trail down her cheek. It was a tear of happiness. For the first time in ten years, she was witnessing her baby sleeping. His head was calmly placed on the chest of a pretty girl who was sleeping like an angel. She had never seen anything so beautiful. Her son was looking so calm and relaxed. For the first time, he had no worries plastered on his face. She knew instantly the girl was truly an angel for having d
Dante and Rose made their way downstairs only to see everyone having lunch now. "Geez, how long did we sleep?" Dante chuckled. This captured everyone's attention on the table and their heads instantly whipped towards the new couple that had just arrived. Georgia immediately popped out of her seat and rushed to engulf Dante in a hug. "My baby," she exclaimed, "you're finally awake!" "Yeah... Wait ... How did you know I was sleeping?" He raised his eyebrows "and what are you doing here," he asked, surprised. "Well surprise! I just missed my sons so much that I couldn't help but come over here as soon as I could," Dante smiled at his mother's reply and hugged her. Rose watched the sweet interaction between Dante and his mom. It was honestly really cute and reminded her of her own mother and how jolly she used to be. Georgia broke the hug and now advanced towards Rose. On seeing this, Dante immediately wanted to introduce her. "Um Mom, she is ...." "Rose, I know" Georgia cut off
Rose applied some moisturizer to her hands as she made her way to bed. She lied down, grabbing her phone to scroll through I*******m. It was late at night and everyone had already gone to bed. Soon her phone started ringing and it was from an unknown number. She scowled at it first, before receiving the call. "Hello," she spoke in a hushed voice. "Hey baby girl! It’s Mike" "Mike! How are you?" she asked, delighted to hear his voice again. "Well, after the stunt your man pulled on me, I guess I'm OK," she laughed at his reply. "But dang girl! You've got yourself a hunk. I mean, did you see his jawline? Fuck. And his eyes. Damnit. Where did you even find that piece? I wish I could find someone like that," he continued. "You will Mikey. I'm sure no one can resist you," she smirked. "Hmm, I am guessing you are included in the list," he chuckled. "Mike" she warned him. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding girl," he laughed "You know I don’t swing that way. Plus, I can never look at you in th
1 year later... "You can't just say no Rose. Your wedding is in three days! And we still do not have your dress!" Rose groaned at her annoying sister. Couldn't she leave her for once and let her sleep? Her sleep was more important than anyone's. And by anyone she meant anyone. Well ..maybe except a certain someone. "What the heck Lily, it's not even 9 in the morning and you are babbling like a baboon here in my room. Go make more babies with your husband!" She huffed before stuffing her face back in her pillows. Lily had given birth to a healthy baby boy a few months back and to say he was adorable would be an understatement. He was an exact copy of his father, but was a Mama's boy. Lily was already 3 months pregnant at her wedding but found out only after her honeymoon night, when in the morning she woke up vomiting like crazy. Vincenzo had taken her to the doctor instantly and found out that they would become parents soon. He was beyond happy. He couldn't believe that he was fina
"Ughh come on. Just when will you finalize the dress Lily? I'm freaking tired. Just get it done with already. I need my pretty sleep!" Rose complained as she pulled back into the comfort of the couch and continued examining Lily in the next dress she came out wearing from the changing room. Since the morning Lily had kept her busy with her wedding preparations as Vincenzo had not quite been a gentleman dropping the bomb of their wedding in less than a week. He said he didn't want to wait anymore and just wanted to see Lily as his wife. The boys had taken a break from the gang dealings and it really helped things go back to normal for the time. Although Vincenzo had taken care of all the preparations, Lily still wanted to get her dress done personally. And even if it was the only thing she had to take care of, she portrayed it as if she had tons of other things to deal with. Georgia had been excellent at helping her soon-to-be-daughter-in-law get everything on line for the wedding. But
Dante sighed as he ran his hand through his hair. Since the past week, there has been something unsettled in his chest. Yes, it had been a week since Lucas was killed and the threat was over. But he could not get over the feeling. The probability of what the fucker Lucas was about to tell him. Although he didn't get the chance to finish his sentence because Lily happened to be there at the most unexpected moment, it doesn't take a genius to guess what Lucas was going to say. He just couldn't believe those words. He didn’t want to. They couldn't be true. He trusted his brother. Then why, why couldn’t he just let it go? Something in his mind kept nagging him that Lucas wouldn't have said such a thing without any reason. There was something behind it. Was Vincenzo really someone who could be trusted? He heard a soft knock and ordered the person to come in. The door opened to reveal Rose standing in a knee-length dress looking beautiful as ever. His lips twitched into a small smile but Ro
"What the hell..." Rose gasped as Dante and she stepped into the room where Lucas had escaped to. The sight in front of them scared them to the core as they could only imagine why there were 6 bomb timers ticking. "8 minutes," Dante whispered, reading the numbers on the timer. "Tch Tch Tch, is the little boy scared?" Lucas mocked coming out of the dark while wiping his busted lip. Vincenzo had done quite a good number on him, but obviously he deserved way more than that. That man needed to be buried 6 feet under and that too quickly. Dante only laughed at him, "You wish," he spat at him. "There is no way you are escaping this place today you bastard." "I know," Lucas smiled arrogantly at him, "I know that very well," he spoke sending a disgusting glare at the couple. "But neither are you. I'll make sure none of you do!" Lucas screamed the last words. "We will see about that," Dante loaded his gun and pointed it at the man who was causing his blood to bubble in anger. That person
Vincenzo felt his blood boiling at the sight. He felt like killing the bastard at the exact moment. But then he wanted to give him a nice slow and painful death for all the chaos he had caused for them. On the other hand, Dante was worried. Just worried for Rose. Nothing should happen to her is all that mattered. He sure got really angry at the fact that she was there at such a crucial moment. But then he also had the slightest idea that it would have been her sister's doing. Rose once told him about how Lily always emotionally blackmails her into doing anything she wants. He really was just conflicted at the moment. He wanted to scream at Rose for listening to Lily. But at the same time, he just wanted her in his arms where he would be kissing the hell out of her. As a punishment, of course. He saw the dagger that was held close to the girls' necks, and started to dig in their skin. Lily stayed put. She had her eyes shut painfully tight. However, Ro
Rose sat back on the couch changing the TV channels while Lily continued chewing her lips, staring at her sister whose eyes were fixed on the television and she looked pretty calm. "How can you be so calm?" Lily exclaimed suddenly, breaking Rose's concentration on the show. Rose flinched at her sudden loud voice. "Jeez woman! What is wrong with you!?" She asked, irritated. "Me? What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you!? How are you so calm when your man's life is at stake? Why are you not doing anything?" Rose slightly blushed when Lily mentioned her "man" but got over it. She understood that Lily was just worrying about Vincenzo. But she knew the boys were capable of handling anything. After all, they weren't feared for nothing. "Lily chill. You know they are perfectly capable of handling everything themselves." "No! I think we should still go and help them! What if they need us?" Rose sighed at Lily's stupid demand. "Well, to start with, yes, they do need us but not to help
Footsteps echoed in the dank warehouse as the man continued strolling down the familiar place. The same warehouse that once belonged to the Connor family was now their opponent's base. The same place where he betrayed his own family. The same place where he put his father in danger. The same place where he used to enter as if he owned it was not theirs anymore. The memories flooded in one after the other and only made Vincenzo's hand clench with anger. Only if he was not greedy for power, things wouldn't have been the way they are. Walking through the familiar aisle, he kicked open the door of the main room of the warehouse. Nothing was heard except the loud thud. The place was pin drop silent. "You can show your fucking self now," he spat, trying to control his anger. Three claps echoed as soon as he spoke those words. "Well, well, well. If it wasn't my dearest enemy. Good to see you finally," Vincenzo saw the same man he met at the girl’s reunion party and felt nothing but hatred
Vincenzo squeezed his phone in his hands as he fumed in anger. ‘It will end where it all started,’ the message he received said. Dante entered his office, observing the hard expression on his face. "Everything alright?" He scrunched up his eyebrows. "We have a lot to discuss. Sit." Dante nodded, taking a place opposite to him. "What's the problem bro?" Vincenzo said nothing but tossed his phone at him. Dante arched his eyebrow at the message before the same expression marked his face as Vincenzo’s. "What is this about?" Dante gritted with a clenched jaw. "Where did this all begin?" He asked, having no clue about anything. But Vincenzo knew everything. Every small detail of what that one phrase meant. It will end where it started. The same warehouse that was his father's base. The same warehouse where they were attacked after he betrayed his family. The same warehouse where he tried killing that bastard, Derek, after finding out his reality, before he managed to escape. The same w
"Where are you taking me?" Lily asked for the umpteenth time as Vincenzo continued dragging her to don't know where. Plus, her eyes were blind folded, so she couldn't make out where she was except for the fact they were somewhere in the open, since she did feel some wet grass grazing her feet through her slippers. "Like I said, it's a surprise!" Vincenzo continued, guiding her with her hand in his, not giving away the surprise just yet. He wanted everything to be perfect. "Yeah sure! I mean who barges into someone's bedroom early in the morning, not letting them brush or change, and drags them out in the open in nothing but a night gown and some fuzzy slippers? Not to forget, keeping them blind folded!" Lily exclaimed, getting curious as to what it was that Vincenzo was hiding from her. "Just wait for a few seconds! Please!" Vincenzo spoke in a soft voice that was only supposed to be heard by her. "Fine!" She grumbled before continuing to be dragged to don't know where. But then sh
