CHAPTER 16 Lily’s POV
I woke up hugging something warm and soft. No, It’s not soft but it's not that hard either. What am I hugging? My hand gropes the thing, trying to figure out what it is. I feel something bumpy and trace my fingers on it. I heard a laugh and the thing vibrated.
“My angioletto, What are you doing?” he chuckled, his voice low and raspy.
I froze, I realized my head was laying on his chest and his right arm was wrapped around me. We were half spooning! And he woke up because I was groping him! His pecs and abs were well defined and was so satisfying to touch. I hid my face on his chest, knowing too well that I’m blushing from my dirty thoughts.
“Don’t be shy. I don’t mind being touched by an angel.” He said while he ran his fingers to my bushy red hair.
I lifted my head and saw his mesmerizing blue eyes looking at me. He kissed my forehead and hugged me tightly.
CHAPTER 17 Lily’s POVI saw William, Andrea, Salvy and Enzo waiting for me in the lobby. My therapist and I extended for an additional 2 hours, I did not expect that they would wait for me. I feel so tired yet so relieved after crying my heart out to her. She said I need to really feel the pain before I can move forward, I need to acknowledge that I was hurt and wounded before I can heal.Salvy rushed to me and hugged me. “Are you okay my angioletto? Do you need anything?” He whispered to me, he gently cleaned my tear stained face with his handkerchief and kissed my cheeks.I feel the familiar warmth on my face due to blushing. I gave him a smile and nodded. He patted my head and took my hand. I love the way he holds my hand, his hands are big and rough but it always gives me a sense of belongingness that I was always meant to be on his side.I rolled my eyes, the trio is having another weird argument. It’s Andrea
CHAPTER 18 Lily’s POVI yawned and Salvy moved away from me. Why is he moving away? Did I do something wrong? I think he wants to swim.“I’ll be your personal pillow my angioletto. I know you’re tired.” He winked and patted his thigh.I lie down and rest my head on his thigh, My heartbeat is so fast and loud. We look at each other’s eyes. His mesmerizing blue eyes looking at me with adoration. What did I do in my past or current life to deserve this? I reach out for his face and poke his cheeks.“Why are you poking me my angioletto?” he asked while smiling.“Just want to make sure you’re real” I whisper.He leaned closer to me and kissed my nose. “Real and alive” he smirks.“Thank you ahmm for not asking any questions about why I’m in therapy and waiting for me earlier.” I traced my fingers from the side of his eyebrow to h
CHAPTER 19 Lily’s POVAndrea and William had been fighting about pizza being a salad for four hours now. I’m not sure if I should be impress because they are smart enough to prolong this debate or pity them for being dumb enough to fight about it.I decided to ignore them and checked my phone, I still haven’t received any message from him today. I sigh and look at the clock. Salvy left five days ago to do some underground dealings, he usually messages me during this time. I badly want to message him but I know he is busy.I accidentally threw my phone at William when it rang, I really don’t like phone calls but Salvy prefers calling me.William caught the phone before it landed on his face. “What the fck? Not the face Lily Fiore.” He said.He checks the ringing phone. “Saliva is calling you, want me to answer?” he asked.I stood up and quickly grabbed my phone. I went to the ba
CHAPTER 20 Lily’s POV“I told you it’s not about the size it’s about the shape and firmness” Andrea said while poking my slightly exposed lemons.They asked me to wear a beautiful floral white dress. It’s a summer dress that’s a bit revealing but they said I look nice in it. I hate wearing V neck cut clothes because I have a lemon sized chest, I got nothing to be proud about.
CHAPTER 21 Lily’s POVWarning: French Kiss and ViolenceMy knees gave up and Salvy tightened his grip on my waist to prevent me from falling. I looked at his eyes, trying to see if he was lying but his blue eyes were filled with sincerity and anticipation.(Heavenly by Cigarettes After Sex played through the speakers.)H-he asked me to be his girlfriend. Me? A sh!tty anxious broken girl. My tears roll down my face, He really wants me. Am I dreaming? Is this a prank?“Hey. Did I scare you? Are you okay?” He softly asked. He cups my face and wipes my tears using his thumb.“A-re you sure? I m-mean you can h-have anyone. Why w-would you want s-someone like me?” I choked out“Why not? You’re the best thing that ever happened to me. You’re the person I want, I like, I need and I crave.” He kissed my nose and smiled charmingly at me.“B-but
CHAPTER 22 Lily’s POVHmm the smell of aftershave and citrus came to my senses as soon as I woke up, it’s Salvy’s scent. Oh God I got shot! I sat up from the bed and touched my shoulder, wait? It doesn't hurt. I peeked through the bandage, I just got a small wound. Salvy covered for me! Is he okay? I looked around the room. Wow this room is big, It’s a very eeer sensual room. The bed is so big with white bedsheet and black duvet and pillows. The ceiling is white contrasting the black matte walls and the curtains on the big windows are dark red. There was also this huge chandelier in the middle of the room. I noticed a paper on the bedside table.(Good Morning my angioletto, I need to do some errands but I will be back as soon as possible. Your clothes and shoes are already on the walk in closet, It’s on the left side. Your toiletries are also in the bathroom. The fridge near the sofa has all the snacks you like.)Wh
CHAPTER 23 Lily’s POVSalvy led me to his messy office, there were boxes everywhere. In the middle, there are two black leather sofas facing each other. There is also a huge wooden desk with two chairs in front of it, for visitors I guess? The chair behind the desk looks like a seat fit for a president or a king, It looks so comfortable. Each side of the office is covered with bookshelves and drawers.“Sorry for the mess my angioletto. I just moved here last night and no one is allowed to touch the files except me and Enzo.” He said while moving some boxes.“I can help in organizing the files? I swear! I won’t snoop.” I said and sat on the sofa.“Do you still want to know more about my Mafia?”“Y-yes. I promise I won’t be scared. Oh wait I might get scared but ahmm I’m not afraid of you. Wait I’m not sure if I’m still making sense” I sigh and lower
CHAPTER 24 Lily’s POV
CHAPTER49Lily’s POVAndrea is massaging my arms while William is helping me do breathing exercises. Can I really be pregnant? How can I take care of a kid if I can’t even handle myself? My thoughts were interrupted by someone clearing their throat.Andrea and William both froze. I slowly open my eyes to see who it is. My heartbeat became more erratic when I saw Salvy looking at us.“What happened?” he worriedly asked and rushed to my side. Andrea and William step away from the bed, panic evident on their faces.Salvy sat beside me on the bed and I a
CHAPTER 48 Lilyβs POV "Lily Can you stop calling Salvy every minute of the day?" Andrea irritatedly asked while we were walking back to the main house after our training. It's been a few weeks since the incident and the school year has already started. We decided to not attend this semester because it's too dangerous for us, especially for me since everyone thinks I'm already dead. In our group of friends, only Ethan will attend this semester. Chloe will wait for Andrei and start doing volunteer work in various charities to kill time. I ignored Andrea's question and tried to call Salvy again. I actually hate calls, I never called anyone and I usually ignored it if someone tried to call me but ever since we came back from Ireland, I always get too anxious if I don't see or hear Salvy f
CHAPTER 47 Lilyβs POV I woke up in Salvyβs arms, he was sleeping so soundly. Of course he will sleep like a log. He was kidnapped for some time then the moment he went home, I jumped on him and did not let go. I stared at his face, he looks so peaceful right now. I move a little closer to his face to get a closer look. This Blue eyed Greek God is mine, all mine. I giggled at the nickname I have for him. I kiss his beard, loving the ticklish sensation of his hair on my skin. I heard him groan and it encouraged me to enjoy myself more. I started kissing his jawline and Adamβs apple, occasionally sniffing his addicting smell. I really need to get stronger so he can rely on me more. I want to be like Mariella. Sheβs a great partner to Valerius and was amazingly skilled when she trained us. I continued to trail kisses to him and he pulled me closer. βWhat a wake up call.β he huskily said. βI-Iβm sorry. D-did I wake y-you up?β I ask
CHAPTER 46 Lily’s POVWarning: Frickle-frackleMy heart almost stopped when I heard the main door open and saw Salvy walking in. I ran as fast as I could and jumped into his arms. He caught me and hugged me tight, his head resting on my shoulder. Tears started flowing from my eyes and waves relief ran through my body.Salvy started to walk and I just clung to him more. I don’t care about our surroundings right now, all I care about is being in Salvy’s arms. I felt him sit down and now I’m sitting on his lap, choking on my tears.He tried to slightly pull away but I buried my face on his chest, not wanting to move away from him. “Vita Mia. I am not going anywhere. Drink some water and look at me. I miss seeing your face.” he softly whispered in my ear.I obediently drink the water and look at him. He looks as sexy as ever and his beard is wow. How did he get more handsome after be
CHAPTER 45 Lily’s POV“We found him!” Mariella shouted while running towards me. She hugged me and cried in relief. I was stunned. We just got the news that the substitute was kidnapped last night. We are all worried for the girl’s safety but also feeling hopeful at the same time that we might get a lead on where Salvy is.It took me a few seconds to absorb what was happening. We finally know where Salvy is, We can already bring him home. Salvy will be with us again. The realization of Salvy coming home opened the dam in my eyes and I collapsed on Mariella’s arm.She stroked my back and hugged me tighter. I miss Salvy so much, I started to choke and had a hard time breathing from crying too much. When I finally calmed down, I pulled away from Mariella and tried to wipe the snot and tears on my face using my hands. Valerius offered tissues to Mariella and me. I accepted it and tried to hide my blush using the t
CHAPTER 44 Salvy’s POVWarning: ViolenceI closed my fist and put my mask back up again. Keep your cool, don’t let your emotion slip.Someone brought her a chair. She was pushed on the chair and harshly untied. All my worries were lifted when the bag on her head was removed and our eyes met. She quickly sat straighter and rubbed the bruises she got from being tied.She’s not Lily. She’s Arah, the doppelganger I produced for Lily. It’s a secret tradition in our family for the Don’s lover to have a substitute, only the current and the former Don is allowed to know the real identity of the doppelganger.I personally trained and molded Arah to have the same mannerism with Lily even the stuttering of Lily was perfected by Arah. No one will be able to know for sure that she’s not Lily except me. Even William and her father might have a hard time identifying the difference. The ma
CHAPTER 43 Salvy’s POV“Do you want our chef to cook any other food for us?” Orla asked while pouring wine on my glass, making sure that she leaned towards me so she could display her fake breast.I stared at her forehead to avoid seeing some nauseating sight. It’s been four days since she visited me on the cell. One of her men asked us to take a shower and gave me a suit to wear. I guess a male escort is better than a prisoner.“No need. Just the sight of you is enough to fill me” I smiled. Yeah. Fill me with vomit. I mentally cringe, who would have thought I’ll end up having a romantic dinner with Lily’s biological mother.She sat back to her seat and drank some wine. I also started eating, purposely dripping some sauce on the side of my mouth. I licked the sauce on my mouth lewdly and maintained eye contact with her. I saw her swallowed hard and subtly adjusted herself on the seat. I smir
CHAPTER 42 Lily’s POV“You did good Lily, I’m proud of you.” Dad said while smiling. We are currently video chatting Dad while Anthon and Valerius are busy tracking the witch.“She is so proud of herself. I hate her. She said that she misses you but doesn’t even ask how you were doing and only asked for a gift from you.” Andrea rolled her eyes, anger evident on her face.“An item personal enough to have your DNA? So what should we give her?” William asked and gently stroked my back.“Your lingerie?” Andrea suggested.Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at her. Even Dad on the phone looked at her weirdly.“You really are stupid. Yes Andrea, Let’s give Lily’s lingerie to her evil mother.” William mockingly stated.“Sorry, that was a stupid suggestion” she whispered.“How about a replica of your
CHAPTER 41 Lily’s POV“What did you do Andrei Emilio?” Valerius cold voice echoed in the room.Andrea lowered her head while William instinctively pulled me closer to him. I hid my face on his chest, not wanting to see Valerius face.“I uh I th-think I’m the reason wh-why they were kidn-nap.” Andrea stuttered.“What?” William and I said at the same time.“You have 1 minute to explain before I personally kill you.” Valerius threatened.William tightened his hold on me. My heart started beating fast and I am worried that he will really kill Andrei.“I-I thought her mom is a good person and she w-wanted help on getting t-to know Lily’s life right now. I sw-swear I did not k-know. Fck sht, this i-is all my f-fault.” Andrei explained.My entire body is shaking now, That was a lie right? My mother never cared because if she did care, she wo
