CHAPTER 2 Lily's POV
The drive to the school was silent but not uncomfortable, when we arrived at the school William opened my door and waited for me to grab on his shirt. I shook my head. "I promise I will try harder in being more sociable. I am sorry and Thank you" I said while pushing him lightly and I started walking to the school alone with a nervous smile in my face. I have been planning this for a month now and what happened earlier at the Diner gave me a push to be more bold today. I look back at William. He is behind me, smiling while slowly walking to the door of the school. He made sure that there is a space between us, not too close but not too far as well.
When we reached our locker, Our friends all looked shocked that I'm not holding William's shirt. Ethan was the first to approach us and pinches me in my cheeks. "Wow. Am I dreaming? Your dad" pointing at William "allowed you to go inside the school without you holding him?" he acts like he is going to faint and grabs William's shoulder. "So Dad? Is your daughter allowed to date again? I meeeaaan, your daughter is trying to be rebellious and I am the West mile's Bad boy?" Ethan is playfully hugging me and William.
"Lily will never date you, that was one time" William scoffs.
"Goooodness! William! Lily dated a guy for a year, that's long. The longest relationship you ever had was 4 months" Chloe exclaims punching William lightly on the shoulder.
Ethan and Andrei laugh.William just rolls his eyes. Andrea holds my hand and lightly squeezes it, checking if I am okay. Andrea is the only one who knows how fcked up the relationship I had with Matteo. I squeeze her hand back and smile at her.
"Let's go to the classroom before the warning bell, I don't like crowded hallways" William says while motioning for us to move. The four of us follow him to our first subject, English.
Our English teacher is announcing the grade we received on the final project. I smile when I hear that we got an A+. I zoned out for most of the day until Andrea dragged me to the cafeteria for lunch. Our table is the one in the middle of the cafeteria. Yes, It is the popular kids table. Ethan is the Running back player of the football team. William is the current President of the student council. Andrea and Andrei are twins, they are known for their beauty and IDGAF attitude. Chloe is also known for her beauty and she starred on almost all of the theater shows of our school. I sit down next to Andrea and I smile at Chloe and Andrei.
A few minutes later William and Ethan sat on the table. "Were you able to talk your way out or you guys have detention later? " Chloe asks William and Ethan.
"Of course! We do not have detention. The golden boy was able to charm the teacher" Ethan says while nudging William shoulders. William just rolls his eyes and starts eating a weird looking pizza
"Are you going to the party tonight?" Andrea asks me while nibbling her bread.
"Uhmm no? I have to babysit Mrs. Coles daughter tonight" I stated. William gave me a subtle worried look, I gave him a faint smile and he continued eating.
"Arrgh and I thought I can meet Drunk and horny Lily tonight" Chloe pouted.
"Next time, I'll even give you a strip tease" I winked at her. Andrea and Chloe laughed while Ethan whistled at me. The day ended with nothing that eventful happening. We just received some stares from students since I am not holding on to William's shirt the entire day. I felt free and confident today.
William drops me off at home and walks me to the front door. "So where are you going tonight? We both know that Mrs. Coles did not ask you to babysit? " He asks with a questioning look.
I look up at my giant protective best friend. "I am going to visit her tonight. I just want to update them on what I did today" I said while smiling at him.
He gives me a bear hug and whispers, "I'm proud of you Lily"
I hug him back. "I know, Thank you for everything and enjoy the party okay?" He gives me a nod and a salute. I closed the front door and went to my room. I check the time, It's just 4:00 pm. I still have 2 hours before I go to the Cemetery. I lay in my bed with my laptop and spend my next two hours reading and searching for weird things on the internet.
CHAPTER 3 Lily's POVHmm 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
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
