CHAPTER 3 Lily's POV
Hmm so, a person can stay alive for approximately 5 hours when buried alive. The thought of being buried alive and awaiting for your death made my skin crawl. I check the time on my phone, It's already 6:05 pm. I close my laptop and clear my search history. I send a quick text to William that I'm on my way to the Cemetery.
I stand up from my bed and grab a bag. I went to the kitchen to get some food that I can eat while I'm there. I walk to my yellow car in the garage. I stared at my car and cringed. My car looks happier than me, haaaay. But Yellow is her favorite color and I promised her that our car will be yellow. I flick a switch to open the garage door and drive away from the house to the Cemetery.
I parked my car on the side of the road, and went to the forest. I looked for the hole on the Cemetery wall, The cemetery wall is 10ft tall and made of concrete.
William found the hole when he was wandering at night in the forest, it is big enough for us to squeeze our way in the cemetery.
I found the hole and I pushed my bag on the wall first, before squeezing myself on it.
Wew, I'm getting fatter. I pinch my love handles and laugh.
I let go of a heavy sigh. I love the ambiance of the cemetery at night. It looks so eerie but peaceful at the same time. I slowly walked through the cemetery, enjoying the cold air of the night and the comfort of the place brings me.
I stop on a Yellow colored stone. It says:
Iris Fleur Anderson
"A lovable freak with a color yellow fetish"
The stone was engraved with Lily and Iris flowers.
She always jokes around on what to put on her gravestone in case she dies earlier than all of us. She wanted Lily and Iris engraved on it so that I will always remember that wherever she is, She will always be with me.
I smiled at the memories on how she blabbed for hours about her funeral, No one expects that it would come too soon.
I put the blanket near her and lay on it. I stare at the starless sky and my tears keep on falling like I have a fcking dam in my eyes.
"Hey Iris. How are you up there? Still a weirdo? You don't have to worry about me, I am okay." I am choking from tears and have to stop to control my breathing.
"It's so hard without you here. How dare the world to keep on going like nothing happen? I am trying my best to happily live without you but how can I do that when you took half of me with you." I lift my hands and try to punch the sky.
"I can't help but to hate everyone around me, How can they be so happy without you? Why did you leave me?" I try my best to control my breathing or else I'll pass out.
"I hate that every time I buy anything, it has to be yellow because I know how much you are obsessed with it and I feel down and happy at the same time because it reminds me of you" My throat is dry. I grab the bottled water from my bag and drink half of it. I turned sideways so that I am now facing her.
"William, Andrea and I all made it to the university you love while Andrei and Chloe will attend a university 20 mins away from us. We are all going to stay in a big apartment. Yes, I know we are spoiled but heeey. I know you will ask for the same thing. It has a big living room and we all get one room each. I am excited and afraid of going to college but I'm trying to be more sociable now like before." I reach and touch her gravestone. Tracing the Lily and Iris engraved on the stone.
"I'll be better, I'll work harder in being the best little sister that you can be proud of. I love you so much that sometimes it hurts so bad knowing you are not here with me right now." I sigh and simply stare at the flowers engraved until sleep takes over me.
I woke up at the sound of several heavy footsteps on the other section of the Cemetery. The Cemetery has 4 sections that are being divided by a 5 foot bush.
I slowly crawl my way to the bush, careful to not make any noise. My heart is beating so fast and every inch of me screams danger.
I peeked through the bush and saw two tall guys towering over another guy who has his hands and arms tied.
CHAPTER 4 Lily's POVI 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." Tys
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"
