CHAPTER 21 Lily’s POV
Warning: French Kiss and Violence
My 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 25 Lily’s POVWarning: ViolenceI sat on the floor and hugged my knees. All the exits are sealed, He will not be able to get me out of here without Salvy finding ou
CHAPTER 26 Lily’s POVWarning: Violence and Anxiety attackI keep on punching the tinted glass window, I don’t care even if we are on the third floor. Jumping to my death is better than staying here. I punched the glass as hard as I could but nothing, not even a crack. I stared at the window but all I see is the shore. He grabbed my bleeding hands and slapped me.“How many times do I have to tell you that you can’t escape from me? I owned you! You’re breathing and living just for me.” He shouted and punched my stomach. I coughed and swallowed hard, not wanting to vomit again.“I only have six days left to enjoy you.” He dragged me to the bed and ripped my clothes off. He smiled while he was on top of me.“Who is your God?” he asked and forced me to look at him.“Y-you. You are my God.” I answered
CHAPTER 26 Salvy’s POVWarning: ViolenceI didn’t expect that I would be this affected by Lily’s rejection. I don’t even kno
CHAPTER 27 Lily’s POVWarning: Violence“S-sit here.” I moved the chair so that it’s beside the bed. He sat on it and crossed his legs. I lay on the edge of the bed and covered my entire body with the duvet.“What are you doing? Are you sleepy?” He asked and tried to remove the cover from me.“N-no. I-I want to t-talk to you th-this way. J-just please h-hold my hand under t-the duvet b-but I d-don’t want y-you to s-see my f-face.” I peek through the cover.He looked at me with concern and sat back on the chair. He extends his hand for me to hold. “Fine but please tell me everything” he sighed. I smiled and took his hand. I covered my entire body and laid down on the bed while holding his hand with both of my hands.I’m sweating from head to toe and my entire body is shaking. I tried my best to control my breathing and squeezed his hand.
CHAPTER 28 Salvy’s POVI kissed her forehead and carefully moved away, I put my pillow as a replacement and I can’t help but smile when she sniffed the pillow first before hugging it. She always says that she loves my scent and she can easily recognize it. I went to my office and Enzo is sitting on the couch waiting for me. He handed off the files I asked from him.It’s the car accident file. She was almost beaten to death by that asshole, she also had severe genital injuries. I ripped the paper to pieces and threw everything on my desk. Enzo flinched and bowed his head, avoiding my gaze.“Let everyone know that if they will not cut their ties with the brothers, I will treat them as my enemy too. Cancel all our plans for the next few weeks, We will plan and raid all of their transactions and warehouse. Double the training of all our men. Lily and I will join you in your self defense class tomorrow.” I commanded.
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 Lily’s 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 Lily’s POV I woke up in Salvy’s 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 Adam’s 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. She’s 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. “What a wake up call.” he huskily said. “I-I’m sorry. D-did I wake y-you up?” 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
