Lily“What? Is it true? Gabrielle, you read this for me. I don't have my glasses so I can't read properly.” Grandpa was also shocked and asked Gabrielle to read. He nodded and opened the parcel.“It's an invitation from the Royal Elite Institute.”“That we also know Gabrielle can you just already read what's inside it and who it's for?” Emma asked impatiently. Everyone also nodded since they are also very curious and can't just wait. Gabrielle also did what he was told and started reading the invitation as all of them listened to him carefully, not missing a single word.“I Mr. Richard Sr. personally welcome Ms. Mia Mancini to the Royal Elite Institute and would love to ask her to join our institute and report to us on Monday and we are very glad to have her as one of our students.” Gabrielle ended reading the letter and looked at me with wide eyes.Everyone's eyes were also wide in shock. I simply lifted my glass and took a sip of the water. Breaking the pin drop silence that was ta
LilyThe next day was a sunny bright day. I woke up early since I slept super well at night. It was amazing, I took a nice shower and by the time I came out. I heard my ringtone playing as my phone buzzed.Wearing a bathrobe I went towards my phone to check the person calling me. Now guess who it was, the one and only rude bastard I was about to pick up but the call ended.Shit, but wait a minute why he called he never called he always text. Suddenly I heard a ding catching my attention as I saw the text on my screen popping up. I opened it and it was.“We had to attend an event tonight. It's an art exhibition. The dress and everything you need to get ready will be at your place in an hour. I will pick you up at seven, be ready." That's it, that's all he said.I read it again and again and then put it to the side as I put on some clothes and went downstairs.Coming down I saw Nick and Dari arguing about something.“What's up brothers, why so fighty in the morning huh?” They looked at
Dante“You ready?” I asked her as the driver opened the back door. “Absolutely.” She replied while taking my hand that I offered earlier. We held up the steps to the entrance. The door was opened for us and soft music poured out , and when we stepped inside Mia's eyes widened. Chandeliers hang everywhere with an old style, gold frame arts hanging on every wall.Soon Music, laughter and clinking of glasses reached us. Women walk around in tight dresses and jewels holding onto the arms of men in suits. I looked at my side and I saw Mia being nervous, she might feel out of place. It's common to do so.Even I feel out of place from these fake people kissing each other asses to gain favours. That's why I wear black it make me feel at home. I leaned down towards Mia and murmured.“Fake it love, they all are, all of them are hiding their own dark little secrets. It's all a game, I know that you know how to play it, and so do I. So just chill and relax, none of them is better than you here.
Lily“Hey , what you do-” My sentence got cut off with a gasp as Dante suddenly came closer with a swift moment, and now my back is touching against the wall. “Where were you?” He growled as his pulse beat a furious rhythm, that I can clearly feel and hear.He scanned me from head to toe trying to search for something, but nothing. I looked at him as if he was some alien crash-landed on earth. “I was in the bathroom.” I spoke slowly like I would speak to some child, he looked worried and it's the first time I saw him out of control. It was only when I spoke he looked towards the side noticing the bathroom sign marking the door. “Is everything alright? What happened? Are you ok?” I asked and his jaw tightened and he took a deep breath.“I thought something happened to you.” That's why he is so panicked and out of control, just because he thought something happened to me. “I am all fine ok. Nothing happened, someone spilled champagne on my dress. I was just trying to fix it.” I h
LilyCovered in sweat I took deep breaths, exhausted from my run.It was a sunny morning and I got up early , well more like I didn't sleep much at night so I decided to go for a walk. Which later turned into a run.After Dante dropped me off last night I wasn't able to sleep much the whole time he was in my mind like a stubborn bad thought, which no matter how hard you try, you just can't brush it off. Today is no day to overthink, but does my brain ever listen to me?No! Never, the whole fucking night my mind keep on recaping my time with Dante and especially the moments I should forget about. Brushing off the thoughts about him again I wiped off my sweat from the mini towel I was carrying around my neck. After the whole morning run thing I returned back to the house and saw Nick and Dari sitting in the living room.The maid saw me coming and brought me a cold glass of water which I took and went straight to the living room flopping on one of the single couches. I gulped down the
Lily“Good morning mam, my name is Mia Mancini. Mr. Richard told me to report today.” I introduced myself to the headteacher.“So you are Mia. I am Ms. Amber, it's nice to meet you, so you are a Mancini.” She said looking a bit surprised.“Yes I am, but why do you look surprised about that?” I asked“Well let's say Mr. Richard wasn't really enthusiastic about the first few children of the Mancini family.” Really damn aren't Nick and Dari quite popular. Well then again the crowd that came to get the glimpse of James was way more than theirs.“Anyways, Mr. Richard told me to instruct you to the best class. So the teacher from class A and B will be here soon, you can choose.” She said, wait a minute I have to choose.I am a bit surprised now, I mean he sure does say that I don't have to care much about the studies but this letting me choose my own class I didn't expect such a thing.Soon enough two teachers arrived in the office, a woman wearing soft brown pants with white shirt and a m
Lily“Hi Lily, finally you contacted me. Wait a minute, where are you?” Mia questioned on the video call.“I am in a washroom of the Royal Elite Institute.” I told her and looked so confused.“Ok sorry about not updating you, but long story short. I made a deal with Dante that I will act as his fiance and he helped me set up a meeting with Mr. Richard, And then well here I am.” She seemed hard to digest the new info she just got.“Ok, ok I will explain later but first remind me of this Jules and Chloe thingy, I mean I remember the names but quite forget it.” “They are my cousins from my first uncle, remember. I told you about the twins.” Ohhh so it's the twins, no wonder the names were sounding too familiar.Jules and Chloe are the daughters of uncle Henry and aunt Emma. Well they aren't the actual twins in fact Jules is a year older than Chloe but because they always stick together and do the same things, many call them twins. These two and Norah bullied Mia to the point where she
LilyThe whole cafeteria gasps in horror, including my brothers and cousins who were sitting not so far away.They shouldn't fear him right now, they should fear me. Because I am not the sweet, sunshine type of girl they all were imagining for me to be. I am a cold, merciless, maniac of a bitch who will return everything you gave her by multiplying it to ten. “Now hear me you jerkass, next time you come near me I will kick your ass so fucking hard that it will even pain if you stand, forget about sitting. Got it?” I asked and when he didn't answer I twisted his arm more. He cried out in pain as he tapped his hand on the table continuously saying yes. Now that's a good boy. I left his hand freeing him from my grip as he screamed and fell on the floor.His sidekicks ran to him and one of them even stood up scolding me.“You brat! How dare you hit Elijah.” “Do you want me to recreate it? It might give you a better explanation.” I said, pulling up my sleeves as he backed off, all of t
DanteI have to physically force myself to stop from going back outside and punch James. Or accidentally killing him.But we don't want a dead jackass on our hands, especially when we have many other things we rather focus on. For example, this woman who is standing just in front of me crossing her arms over her chest, glaring at me. Like I did something wrong. She should be thankful that I didn't puncture that motherfucking Richard boy's face and break his hand for holding her's. I am still considering going back and doing it though.“What. Is. Fucking. Wrong. With. You.” She finally spoke up after glaring at me, for what seemed like an hour. “What do you mean?” I simply asked because I don't know what I did wrong, considering the fact that I could have done many things but chose not to and walk away.“Oh, so now you wanna play ‘the dumb’ game huh? Why did you canceled my plans with james and act like that, when did I ever fucking agreed to attend a birthday ball with you?” For fu
LilyGroaning at my own mind, losing and betraying me in my sleep, I glared up at the ceiling wide awake. Last night all I did was toss and turn on the bed but when I finally slept. All I could dream about was tattooed hands running up my thighs, dark eyes peering up at me and a lushful mouth whispering down my ears.And when I jerk away in the morning light, I was covered in a sheen of sweat. While my things clenched together, throbbing and soaked with my own wetness. “You do understand that you are in a FAKE relationship with him and TRICKING him the whole time.” I snarl talking to myself, emphasising the words fake and tricking that my mind should note. But choose not to give a fuck about. Leaving the bed I headed for a cold shower again. Stupid hormones, it doesn't seem to care that he is a dangerous man. Who might or might not be gonna kill us after knowing the truth. “But he is hot.” A voice from the back of my mind said, which I threw back where it came from. Bastard.I me
LilyDante Romano had some nerve.Anger simmered in my stomach as I walked out of the cafe, opening the door with more force than necessary. I don't know why I reacted so strongly to Dante's dismissal. I have been in worse situations than this but still, still I don't know I felt that way.One second, I thought he would kiss me. The next, he was kicking me out of his lounge. The man flipped hot and cold more frequently than a broken geyser. Worse, there had been a moment when I wanted him to kiss me. When the curiosity over how that firm, sensual mouth would taste pulsed in rhythm to the ache between my thighs. Frustration twined with my anger as I also felt embarrassed and humiliated at the same time. I don't know how he manages to pull such dormant emotions out of me. I was feeling hurt, even though it was an emotion I felt often, thanks to my family. It just never bothered me much as I was somewhat getting used to it. But the way he called it a mistake, it ate away my inside li
Dante“I heard you were waiting for me.” I asked , tugging a loose strand of her hair from her face to the back of her ear. The action left a soft tint of pink on her cheeks. “E-excuse m-me sir , you might not know but this girl is a thief.” The girl who was shouting before spoke fully flushed.“This cafe belongs to Mr. Romano and Ms. Mancini is a VVIP here, that's why everything is free for her.” Alex spoke up, jumping in the conversation and shutting their mouths . I ignored them as they weren't even there.“I thought you weren't coming today.” Mia asked, looking up on me with her curious eyes. “Why were you missing me?” Why this girl always brings out a playful personality of mine, which I even didn't know existed.“Dante Romano? Aren't you the junior owner of the Romano Groups?” The girl on the corner who was accusing Mia earlier spoke up. “I can't believe it! He is Mia’s fiance.” Another one who looked similar to the previous girl also spoke up looking all shocked. “Mia, you
LilyNext morning I woke up early and after grabbing an apple I left for school. “You look mad today, is everything fine?” Finn said, approaching me with Ivy. “Nothing, just a slight headache.” I have had a headache since I woke up. And why would I not , after all those bitches in the family never let me take a break.“Aww you look stressed out, want some medicine.” Ivy asked out of concern.“No, no I am fine.” “Ok then you better hide, Elijah is here.” She said , hurrying me to hide.I didn't expect Elijah to still have the audacity to come to me after what happened yesterday. However I am also a stubborn bitch so I ain't going anywhere. “Yeah Ivy is right, he must be here for revenge. Go to the teachers office and don't come till the class starts ok.” Finn also said concerned.They both looked at me anxiously as I didn't move. It was heartwarming to see both of them being so concerned and caring about me. Just when I was about to say something. “Why are you even so worried abou
Lily After Dante dropped me off, I went ahead and the guards opened the door. As soon as I entered I saw everyone sitting in the living room including my first and second uncle, even Jules and Chloe were there.“Mia it's normal for you to be unmannered as you are from the countryside. But don't you think you should learn more manners, how could you make your elders wait for you?” Emma said in a sarcastic tone.Every time I see her I think, no lily don't be disrespectful, she is an elder afterall. But no, she is just like my aunt back in India, a bitch who doesn't know how to mind her own damn business and also passed those genes to her children. And that is fucking irritating. “I am not the one who is making you wait, the kitchen is.” I said calmly, as I passed my school bag to the servant. I just stated the facts, when I walked in I saw the kitchen serving the food now. The dishes weren't fully served yet, then how the fuck I am making them wait. But obviously how could these aunt
Dante“Well I want to ask you for help. I want you to talk to Mr. Richard Sr.” She told me as I frowned in confusion.“About what? Didn't he already get you enrolled in the college?” “Well I just want you to make sure that I keep enrolled and don't get expelled.” I raised my eyebrows as she smiled nervously.What? Wasn't today her first day of college, how is she already on a peak to get expelled? Does that even make sense?“Well I am ninety nine percent sure that Mr. Richard won't expel me, you just have to make that a hundred percent.” “Now would you care to tell, why you are in this position in the first place?” She better tell me everything clearly because I need to know.“I beat up one of the Lockwood kids today, Elijah Lockwood and he threatened to get me expelled.” She answered immediately, making me nearly choke on my drink.“What?” Did she just say that she beat up one of the Lockwood kids , just like that. Lockwoods are one of the few families that are really well known a
