CHAPTER 7 Salvy's POV
Five 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 asks
I 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

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"

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,

Butt Pussy." she laughed."We are supposed to have a serious talk." He sighed. "Not give you a lesson on gay slang."She scoffed at him and he lightly pushed her arm. I laughed at their antics. I love them so much."I-I know why you guys want to talk to me" I sighed. "I will follow through on my promise in trying to be more sociable and getting therapy again.""We don't want you to feel any pressure okay? But ever since you stopped therapy, you started getting anxiety attacks. You never had that before, and-and you are having nightmares."
