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,
CHAPTER 13 Lily's POV"You know that I love you right? No amount of Bussy or pussy can replace your special place in my heart." William says, taking my hands from my lap and holding it tightly. I nod my head."Bussy? What's that?" Andrea curiously asked."Google it" William rolls his eyes.Andrea pulled out her phone and typed something on it. "Oh it means gay man's butthole. 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."
CHAPTER 14 Lily's POV>Lily on her dateI'm in the living room, sitting nervously while Andrea and William try to calm me down. Keyword: Try. No matter what they say, I still feel like my heart just drank 9 Red Bull.Andrea spent a good 2 hours fixing me. I am wearing a white off shoulder blouse with flowers printed on it, dark jeans and my favorite ankle boots."You got this. If you want we can follow you guys?" William offered while massaging my shoulders."No. We will not follow them." Andrea rolled her eyes and held my hands. "You
CHAPTER 15 Lily's POVWarning: Tonsil Fencing and hickeys"I'm not mad Lily, I know that this is all too much and I will give you all the time you need." He said, giving me a gentle smile.His smile and words melted the anxiety and doubts coating my heart. I shook my head and patted the spot where he was sitting earlier. He looked confused but still sat in front of me again, our knees touching.I lowered my head and fiddled with my hands. "Th-this is all overwhelming for m-me but I t-trust you. I-I really do." I paused and looked at him, his blue eyes comforting me. "Y-you will not hurt me r-right?" I choked, my vision blurred from the tears falling from my eyes.He gently wipes my tears and cups my face. "My Angioletto. I will never hurt you, I will always protect and care for you. You already own me since the day you saved my life." He said, his eyes and voice filled with sincerity.I nodded my head. Tears
CHAPTER 16 Lily’s POVI woke up hugging something warm and soft. No, It’s not soft but it's not that hard either. What am I hugging? My hand gropes the thing, trying to figure out what it is. I feel something bumpy and trace my fingers on it. I heard a laugh and the thing vibrated.“My angioletto, What are you doing?” he chuckled, his voice low and raspy.I froze, I realized my head was laying on his chest and his right arm was wrapped around me. We were half spooning! And he woke up because I was groping him! His pecs and abs were well defined and was so satisfying to touch. I hid my face on his chest, knowing too well that I’m blushing from my dirty thoughts.“Don’t be shy. I don’t mind being touched by an angel.” He said while he ran his fingers to my bushy red hair.I lifted my head and saw his mesmerizing blue eyes looking at me. He kissed my forehead and hugged me tightly.
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
