CHAPTER 4 Lily's POV
I covered my mouth with my hands to make sure that I will not make any sound.
The older tall guy is saying something to the younger tall guy. I can't understand it but I have a feeling that they are speaking in Italian judging on the accent and on how freaking good looking the younger guy is.
He freaking looks like a younger version of Tyson Ballou and damn the way he speaks in Italian makes my ovaries want to burst because of too much horniness.
I mentally slap my face, Good job Lily!! Eye rape a dangerous guy who is about to kill someone.
The two guys are having an argument when the tied up guy starts to laugh. He laughs so creepily that it gives me goosebumps but it is obvious that he was having a hard time breathing.
Tyson Ballou Jr. Stares at him and kneels in front of the tied up guy.
"Let it all out, because I'm not sure if you can still laugh when you're 6 ft under the ground Stronzo." Tyson Ballou Jr. Says while smirking evilly to him. Ooh so the tied up guy's name is Stronzo. And then it hit me.
Oh God. They will bury him alive. Sh!t Sh!t!
"Then see you in hell" Stronzo says while laughing and coughing.
Tyson Ballou Jr. Pushes Stronzo on a hole and I hear a click. He starts burying Stronzo.
I feel like I'm gonna puke and I'm having issues breathing. I can't help but feel bad for the guy, what should I do? Should I save him? Should I ask for help? Call the police? But the two guys look like they came straight from a Mafia book.
Tyson Ballou Jr. Finished filling the hole. The older and younger guy spoke in Italian then Left.
I'm torn. Should I help him? I can't just leave him to die. I mean he was still alive when he was buried. Arrrrggh! I scan the area and when I'm sure that the coast is clear. I look for the shovel and start to dig up. The rush of my adrenaline helps me to dig fast. After 10 minutes I hit something hard with the shovel. They put him in a casket, I try to open the casket but I can't freaking open it. My hands are bruised from digging and trying to open the casket. I can hear his hard breathing and whimpers in pain. I don't know what's happening to me but I start to cry. This is so frustrating, why is the casket not opening. After several attempts in opening it, I hear the click and I open the casket.
He looks so weak and helpless, when he notices that the casket is open he tries to catch his breath and mouthed thank you to me.
I try to sooth him. "it's gonna be okay" I try my best to untie him but it's too tight. I remember that I have a pair of scissors in my bag.
"Hold on for a sec. I'll just get my bag." I tell him, he just nods his head. I run to the grave of my sister and get my bag, thankful that I always bring a lot of stuff everywhere I go. I give my sister's grave a flying kiss before I run back to him and pull the scissors out of my bag. It took me a few minutes to cut it because it's too thick. I help him up from the casket but he immediately falls on his knees clutching his right sides.
"I think your ribs are broken. I'm sorry I know it hurts but we need to get out of here before they come back" I say to him while rubbing his back.
I helped him up again and this time he was able to stand. I sling my bag on my back. I put his right arm on my shoulder and I took a deep breath. It was hard trying to help a 6 foot man to walk when you are only 5 foot but we need to leave now before they come back.
"My car is on the other side of the Cemetery. We need to get there and We will call for help okay?" I look at him and he just nods his head in agreement. I lead him to the hole in the wall and ask him to crawl to pass through it. I can hear his shallow breathing and squirms in pain every time we move. We reached the car and I opened the passenger seat for him. He slumps to the seat. I went to the other side of the car and took a glance to the mysterious guy beside me before I started the engine and drove away.
I parked the car in the garage and I helped him to walk upstairs to my bedroom. He slumps to the bed. I rushed to my bathroom to get the first aid kit and a basin of water, I also checked the drawer for William's clothes he can use. When I came back he was already sleeping on the bed, I tried to poke him but he did not wake up. I'm not sure if he is asleep or passed out. I checked his appearance and my heartbeat accelerated. He is not wearing a shirt, His entire body is covered with blood and bruises but still manages to look sensual. What a delicious looking creature.
After a few minutes of shamelessly checking out Stronzo, I begin to clean him up. I wiped the dried blood and mud on his upper body using a wet cloth, fighting an urge to trace his glorious abs. He also has several cuts in his legs, should I remove his pants? What if he gets mad? But what if his wounds get infected? I mean, I'm not doing it because I want to see his underwear and to check how big his dingdong is, right? My conscience is clean. I gently removed his jeans, and I released my breath when I saw his underwear.
Thank God he is wearing underwear. I gently wiped his legs and foot, I put some ointment and cream in his wound. I slid one of William's boxers to him. When I finished trying to fix him up, he looked like cream covered Greek God. I catch a glimpse of my appearance in the mirror, I look terrible. I decided to clean up, I went to the bathroom to take a quick shower and returned the first aid kit. I dressed myself with a large black shirt and yoga pants. I walked out of the bathroom and looked at the sleeping man in my bed. I yawned and I suddenly felt exhausted from all the things that happened today. I pulled out the mattress under my bed, put my blanket and pillows. I lay on the mattress and gave the man on my bed a quick glance before I closed my eyes to sleep.
CHAPTER 5 Lily's POVWarning: Violence and non consensual sexual activity."I said shut up. Your sh!tty stuttering is irritating me" He slaps my mouth, hard enough to make me stop talking but not enough to bruise. I winced in pain and lowered my head. I can't cry if I cry he will just mock me more. "Be good or I'll get someone else to do it for me. We both know that no one else can fcking love someone like you." He unbuttoned his pants and forced me to kneel down.I woke up on someone shaking me. I jumped out of the mattress and fell on the floor. My hands are shaking and tears keep on streaming down my face. It's only a dream, just a dream. I'm okay, I assured myself not wanting to have a panic attack. I feel someone pat my back and trace circles on it. I calm down on the person's touch and I wipe my tears using the back of my hands."Sorry, I need to wake you up. You were crying while sleeping." He stops touchi
CHAPTER 6 Salvy's POV"What happened to you? And who is that girl?" Enzo asks looking at me. I sigh. My body hurts too much."Focus on the road. I'll tell you later. The Don would want to hear the story first." I told him.We arrived at the house after a half an hour drive. Enzo helped me out of the car. I saw my Papà and Mamma waiting for me at the front door. He looked deadly, his gaze softened when he saw me. Do I really look that bad? I pointed the couch to Enzo and he helped me sit down on the couch."Salvatorre! Who did this to you?" Papà shouted. Enzo and I looked at each other, he only calls me by my full name when he is angry. I stared at him blankly to not show any emotion or pain."Ricco knew I'm back home. He and some of his men drugged me. They beat me and tried to bury me alive." I explain to them. Enzo clenched his first. Papà pursed his lips and everyone in the room can feel the anger radiating
CHAPTER 7 Salvy's POVFive days passed painfully to me. I was not able to do anything because I was heavily sedated all the time. That's why I am now in my temporary office listening to Enzo discuss all the work I missed. After he finished talking, he gave a smile that is too bright for my current situation. I resisted the urge to throw the stapler at him."Why are you in a pissy mood?" he asksI roll my eyes at him. "Vaffanculo! Being a Don is not supposed to be working like an office slave!" I responded. (fuck off)He smirks at me and says "The Don" he points at me "organizes and plans things while the Under Boss" he points at himself "does all the dirty work. Three years in training and you're still complaining like a whiny child."I ignored him and started working on the paperworks while making some transaction via call. I was halfway finished with it when I looked up and saw Enzo reading some papers with a strange look in his
CHAPTER 8 Lily's POV>One of the picture her Dad took."Do you really think your cousin Saliva is really a good match for Lily?" William spats."His name is Salvy not Saliva, you dumb blonde" Andrea retorted."Is this blonde? This is black? Does being Italian make you color blind?" holding his hair, showing her that it is black."Did you just insult my ethnicity, you black haired wannabe? We all know that you just dyed your hair black." she pulls his hair and slaps him on his arms.They had been arguing and insulting each other since Andrea told me that Salvy was her cousin. The three
CHAPTER 9 Lily's POVWilliam and I went to the chairs designated for the students in a hurry, Since the ceremony is about to start and William is actually the Valedictorian. I sit on my designated chair and look for my Dad strawberry blonde hair. I see him talking to someone, the man makes eye contact with me and gives me his billion dollar smile. My heartbeat accelerated, Dad was talking to Salvy and Dad looked so engaged with the conversation while Salvy kept on glancing at me.I heard the principal say something about starting the ceremony. The program was a blur to me. I only remember crying when William addressed all of us in his speech. After the ceremony, William went to where I am sitting. He holds my hand and together we look for Dad in the crowd. We found him with our friends and their parents. I saw Salvy glaring at William and I have a feeling that William is also glaring at Salvy. I ignored both of them. I ran to Dad's side and I heard Wil
CHAPTER 10 Salvy's POVWarning: ViolenceToday is perfect but It will just get a lot better after the mission. I drove back to the house and parked my car. I saw Enzo patiently waiting for me on one of the Range Rover with bullet proof windows. I walked towards him.He smiles and opens the car door for me. I get in and he sits besides me. I signal to the front to start driving. "Send the command to the other team to start the raid after We start attacking Ricco's men on the club." I say. Enzo nods his head."Ricco and his brother will surely be in the VIP room and since this shipment is one of their biggest transaction, his father and most of his men will be on the port. I want the brothers to be beaten within an inch of their life and all of their items to be stolen by us by the end of the night. I will wait outside the club while you silence their men and send me a signal if you already corner the brothers. I want to ma
CHAPTER 11 Lily's POVWarning: Anxiety attackWe are all laying on my bed. I just finished telling William and Andrea that Salvy and I kissed. Both of them have their eyebrows furrowed and staring at me with weird expressions."He-hey say something. Stop staring!" I said. Why are they looking at me like that, Is kissing him wrong? I buried my face on the pillow.Andrea removed the pillow on my head and sighed. I sat up and looked at her curiously. "You kissed a guy and you just met him last Friday. Plus you only have seen him twice, Don't you think this is too fast?" she says with a worried expression."But she looks happy, I think go for it. Maybe saving someone's life is a good accelerator on a relationship" William says, pushing me back to bed."What a sudden change? You hate him" she said with venom. She tried to smack him but ended up smacking my chest. My poor lemons, I winced in pain. "Fck sorry love"
CHAPTER 12 Lily's POVA person in his late 40s I think? Greeted us at the waiting area. He ushered us inside the restaurant. I can feel people staring at us. I lower my head not wanting anyone to see my face. Salvy squeezed my hand and gave me a reassuring smile. I release a sigh of relief and smile sweetly at him. The most beautiful person I met doesn't care how I look, Why would I care about what they think about me?We stopped on a secluded section of the restaurant, The table is near a window. Salvy pulled out the chair for me and he sat on the opposite side of me. Salvy asked what I wanted to drink, I answered that I wanted red wine. Salvy talked to the guy and he left. I focus on the window. It holds an amazing view of the city. The city looks so peaceful with the city light contrasting the starless sky. I turned my head to Salvy's direction to thank him when I saw him staring at me with adoration on his eyes. I feel the familiar warm in my face,
