Lily's POV. "Hey, nerd! Wait up!!" a male voice called out. I knew exactly who he was referring to... me. But like always, I decided to brush him off. He was a curse upon my school life, an untouchable presence that I couldn't seem to escape."Ain't you the one I was calling, wonk!" he grumbled, forcefully snatching my hand and whirling me around so abruptly that I stumbled backward and lost my balance. My books slipped from my grasp, scattering across the ground in different directions. The impact of my fall rocked through my body, and a sharp yelp escaped my lips, "Ahhhh!!!"As I regained my composure and glanced upward, he stood there, looming over me, his eyes brimming with mischief and mockery. A small crowd had gathered, eager to witness the next move of the notorious bully.Summoning my strength, I rose to my feet, trying to ignore the throbbing pain radiating from my butt. I met his gaze head-on, anger igniting within me. It was hard not to notice his strikingly handsome fac
Lily's POV. I stepped out of the car sluggishly. A lot has happened today. I just wanna go into my room, take a shower and sleep. I have so much to do and little time to do it."Welcome, ma'am." Greeted one of the housekeepers and hurried towards me to get the stuff I was holding. I nodded to her greetings and began to look around, there were so many cars parked around the house. Yeah, we have many cars, lots of cars because my family is very wealthy, my father is a Mafia boss and I do not like him. I despised him for the way he treated my mother and me. He saw me as a burden, a waste of space, but he couldn't dispose of me easily since I was his only child, and he couldn't have another due to undisclosed health issues. Despite being his daughter, I was invisible to him.I planned to finish school as soon as possible, secure a job, and escape from this hellish house with my momma."Lisa?" I called out as we approached the house. There was an unusual silence from her today, which was
Lily's POV. As I waited for my flight to the United States, my mother tried to console me. "I'm helpless, Lily, and I am so sorry for everything that is happening to you. On the bright side, you will have the opportunity to complete your schooling before getting married. Just try to look at the brighter side, dear," she said, her voice filled with sadness.Look on the brighter side? What kind of ridiculous notion was that? My world was in darkness.School? What a joke. They were probably lying to me. My entire existence felt like a lie."Lily, please don't give me the cold shoulder. I know I'm not the best mother you could ask for, but I couldn't do anything. I just couldn't. You know how your father was... he's..." My mother's voice trailed off, her words choked with emotion."Mom, please, don't make this harder than it already is. I have nothing against anyone. Just leave me alone. I'm as helpless as you are. Please, Mom, don't stress about it," I pleaded, forcing a smile, even tho
Lily's POV. I was frozen in place, my body unable to move as Draco slowly rose from his seat and advanced towards me, his steps deliberate and menacing. It felt as though a predator was closing in on its helpless prey, and my heart pounded with each step he took. Panic surged through my veins, urging me to flee, but where could I go? I was alone and vulnerable.I squeezed my eyes shut, unwilling to witness the horrors that awaited me with Draco mere feet away. If only I could black out, escape this nightmare in an instant."Lily, look at me," Draco's voice commanded, low and breathy, causing a shiver of fear to ripple through me."I said, look at me!!!" he bellowed, his tone sharp and forceful, forcing me to snap my eyes open in terror."Please, don't do this now," I pleaded, my voice quivering, my legs trembling with fear.A deep, dark chuckle escaped Draco's lips as he stared at me. Then, without warning, he reached out and grabbed the straps of my top, yanking them so violently th
Lily's POV. Thirty minutes later, I was in the elevator, going down to meet my new family. At this point in my life, I wasn't expecting anything good from anyone but myself. The family might turn out to be much worse than my fiance... But deep down, I can't help but wish that they would be a little bit nicer to me. As the elevator doors chimed open, I stepped out, my hands clutching the silky fabric of my gown. A servant guided me with a polite gesture, and I obediently followed her through the labyrinth corridors of the vast mansion. I would have taken my time and admired everything but the fear ravaging my being would not allow me. The distant sound of my fiance's voice echoed through the halls, causing my heart to skip a beat. Would he be the same person who tormented me just moments ago? The uncertainty churned in me as we approached a set of double doors leading to a grand dining room. I caught a glimpse of people gathered around a lavishly set table, engaged in a funny conver
Lily's POV. Larry's eyes were locked onto mine, his stare, a dangerous mix of mischief and coldness. His breath was warm against my neck, sending shivers down my spine. "Are you gonna tell him, Kitty, huh?" he repeated, his voice a low, seductive whisper and goosebumps graced my skin. What the fuck was he trying to do?! "Say something, little Lily." He urged and I tried to find my voice, my heart pounding in my chest. "Larry, this isn't right, you know how dangerous this is," I managed to say, my words barely more than a whisper.He smirked, his hand gently brushing a strand of hair away from my face. "Oh, but the wrong feels so fucking right, doesn't it?" His fingers traced a line down my jaw, sending a jolt of electricity through my body.I knew I should push him away, but there was something intoxicating about the way he looks at me, the way his touch set my skin on fire. I swallowed hard, trying to gather my thoughts. "You can't do this. I'm your brother's fiancée now and I des
Lily's POVI scrambled to sit up, my mind racing with panic and desire. "Larry, you need to go, oh Lord! Fucking leave," I whispered urgently. "If Draco finds us..."He pressed a finger to my lips, silencing me. "Don't worry, little Kitty. Just relax." He leaned in for a quick kiss, his eyes glinting with a mixture of amusement and lust "We'll finish this later... The fun is just starting."With one last smirk, Larry slipped off the bed, moved to the wall, and tapped on something. A secret passage opened, and my eyes widened in surprise as I watched him. He gave me a final look before disappearing in and the door clicked shut.I quickly adjusted my dress and tried to compose myself, my heart still pounding. I couldn't believe what had just happened, and the consequences if Draco had walked in while we were at it were too horrifying to even think about."LILY!" Draco's thick voice came again, closer this time.I stood up and took a deep breath, smoothing my dress one last time before w
Larry's POV. "What are you doing back home, Larry? I thought you would never be back again," my father, Raven, asked as we sat in the large living room. I wanted to ignore him, but I knew that would hurt my mom."If I'm not welcome, I can always squat with a friend until I find an apartment of my own," I replied, my voice cold and void of emotions."I see no reason for you two to talk about this now," Mother interjected, sensing the high tension between me and her husband. "Larry is back, and we should be happy that he's home. He left in anger, but he's calm now, and that's probably why he's back, so let's end this topic.""He's just been stupid. He left home, disregarding everything about his family and his duty, and now he's back! What do you call that? That's the highest point of irresponsibility, and you need to stop pampering him, let him face the truth. It's because of his stupid behavior that I handed over the mafia to Draco. He's logical and brutal, just what a mafia leader n

The darkness roared, its form swelling as it absorbed the light blasts from my friends. Each tendril lashed out with renewed vigor, striking against their shields, testing their strength. My heart pounded as fear coursed through me. It was getting stronger, angrier, and more relentless.“Elena! Watch out!” I shouted as a shadowy tendril narrowly missed her, grazing her shoulder.“I’m fine!” she called back, her voice strained. “But this thing is getting stronger. We need a new plan, now!”Indigo grunted, his energy faltering as another tendril slammed against his barrier. “Vida, stay back! We’ll hold it off!”But I knew they couldn’t keep this up. The darkness wasn’t just relentless; it was evolving, adapting to their attacks. Panic bubbled within me as I watched the tendrils inch closer to my friends.“No…” I whispered, my hands trembling. “No, it’s too strong. It’s going to hurt them…”And then, I heard it. A deep, commanding male voice chanting words I couldn’t understand but insti
The morning breeze carried a strange calm, but it was the kind of calm that preceded chaos. Standing at the door with my bag slung over my shoulder, I turned back to the crowded apartment. My eyes skimmed over everyone...Mr. Devin sipping his tea with his usual unbothered expression, Kaden and Kieran standing close to the couch, their arms crossed, both wearing identical frowns, and Sienna sitting nearby, pale and coughing lightly.“You don’t look fine,” I told Sienna, guilt prickling at my heart. “Maybe I shouldn’t go. I can stay and...”Sienna waved me off with a weak smile. “Don’t even think about it. You’ve already missed enough. I’m just feeling under the weather. I’ll be fine.”“You sure?” I asked, hesitating as I took a step toward her.“She’s right,” Kieran chimed in, his tone laced with concern. “You need to go back to class, Vida. But...” His eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at Devin, who was now smirking. "Please be careful, he already said it would be hard for you at s
"She's Pregnant! How could you two turn her into a servant all of a sudden?!" Bruce fired angrily, his eyes was switching between black and red which means he was trying to control his wolf, we are all having difficulty in controlling our Wolf's cause of Amaya but in her case, our pack comes first and I would not give our people a chance to doubt our leadership, we've built this pack after losing so much, we are not losing it again. "Stop shouting, if she could have stayed in her room that's her punishment for trying to run away from us." Blaze said with a scoff and dawned his glass of alcohol. That's all he does these days, drink like his life depends on it, Amaya has ruined us in a way but we'll not give in to the mate bond of an evil bloodline. "So you expect her to wait and die along with her child after that cruel reply you wrote to her, asking her to wait for her Father's curse to consume her too, you two are impossible." He kicked the chair and it landed on the wall with a cr
Lily's POV. "How dare you hold her hand like that and who the hell are you to Lily?" Draco asked in anger and I swallowed hot saliva, this wasn't good. I don't fucking mind taking the slap, why did Larry have to come and stop it?! "Let me go!" Isabella shrieked but Larry's hold was firm and no matter how hard she struggled, she just couldn't break free. Larry! Let go of her hand!" Draco barked, his voice sharp as he moved towards his brother, his eyes burning with rage. I saw the deadly intent in Draco's eyes, and fear gripped me. This was spiraling out of control. "Please, Larry, let her go. Please," I pleaded, my voice barely above a whisper, hoping to diffuse the situation. Larry shot me a cold, calculating look, the intensity in his eyes making me shiver. After a moment, he released Isabella with a forceful push. Draco was quick to catch her, his arms wrapping protectively around her. Seeing Draco care for another woman so openly felt like a knife twisting in my ch

In less than five minutes, Eric got to the Villa where he was going. At the moment, he was standing on the rooftop of another Villa observing the Villa.After a while, he leaped off the roof and landed softly. If he was to stay too long, he would be discovered and that was not what he wanted.All that he wanted was just to do what he came to do without any problems.Eric sighed and looked at the Villa with a sigh. Though he didn't see anyone outside the Villa, he could tell that there was security all around.At the same time, he was feeling lazy and was not willing to confirm his theory.So he just stood at a corner observing the Villa. He still had a lot of time, so there was no need to rush.He didn't know what the patrol would end, but that didn't mean he cared. If things proved to be rocky, he was just going to head to a hotel and sneak in.Or he could go to any other place to spend the night. From the rules, everywhere was to be shut down once it was seven.Activities could stil
"Whonare you and where did you come from?" The king asked though this time, he asked carefully. I guess he was scared of him now, I was equally scared of him, only a fool wouldn't."As I've said before, I'm Vida's father and I could not stay hidden while I watch my only blood get killed for a crime she does not even know anything about." He stated and then turned to father. "You're still calling that evil thing father, are you that stupid?!" The voice snapped and I choose to ignore it. That voice I should cage bin but I can't, if was reallyt beat"And the man standing there is my brother," The man announced and father's eyes blaze in anger."Stop calling me your brother and stop claiming my child as yours, Devin, go back to where you came from!" Father growled, his fist clenched in anger. Devin’s chuckle was low and menacing, reverberating through the tense air. "Still denying the truth, Wilding? I see some things never change. Always desperate to control what you have no claim ove
I frowned and balled my hand into fist angrily... Tess was responsible for my Zuri's mishap? Fuck! Tess was the closest friend of Zuri, I can say that Zuri loves Tess more than Maya because Tess was like a part of her. Moving towards them in a slow steps while trying to control my anger so I'll not hold that fragile neck of hers and twist it. I could kill her and bury her and no one would ever ask about her, no one would even know that anyone like Tess ever existed. "Why?" I asked when I was few steps away from her, she looks so thin, she'd lost a lot of weight. Perhaps she was in great regrets after her friend's disappearance. She was looking so pitiful, so dead. I sensed her innocence... It looks like my sense was wrong after all."Boss, there's...""What's this murderer doing in this room, what the hell is she doing here?" An angry female voice asked, interrupting Marcos who was about to talk.I looked at the fully dressed Maya who was marching angrily towards us. I just sighe
