Chapter 05: Seeking His Kitty.

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 conversation. It was an odd sight, but somehow it eased my anxieties… only slightly.

Draco's eyes lit up as he spotted me, and a warm smile adorned his face as he rose from his seat. "Mom, Dad, and little sis, this is Lily Marcos, the daughter of the late Marcos Mal and my future wife," he introduced me with tenderness in his voice, I couldn't help but steal a quick glance at him, almost disbelieving that he could be the same person who had bullied me earlier.

"Goodness me, isn't she a beauty, Raven?" the older woman exclaimed, rising from her seat and making her way toward me. I greeted her timidly, and she enveloped me in a tight embrace. The flood of emotions I felt when she hugged me threatened to overwhelm me, but I held back my tears and returned her hug with a grateful smile.

"Mom, must you always indulge in these emotional displays?" Draco grumbled, breaking the tender moment. After the hug, I greeted his father, who acknowledged me with a curt nod, and his sister, who offered a strained smile.

"Come, darling, come and sit. Let's catch up," the older woman said, her smile genuine as she guided me to a seat beside her. "We apologize for the underwhelming welcome. We'll make it up to you soon. Your fiancé failed to inform us of your arrival today, but our scattered family members will return home to give you a proper welcome soon." Her words were comforting, and I nodded appreciatively as I moved to take my seat.

"Ohh, here comes the devil himself, Lily, come here and meet my twin brother." Draco's call interrupted my thoughts and I turned in the direction of his voice, only to freeze in my spot when I saw who he was referring to as the devil.

"Larry! I thought you'd never make it!" Draco's sister exclaimed, rushing to embrace the newcomer. Their mother joined in the joyous reunion, leaving me feeling a sinking sensation in the pit of my stomach. My legs grew weak, and I grasped onto the nearest chair for support. Though all eyes were on Larry, no one noticed my unease.

"Lily!" Draco's urgent call snapped me out of my stupor. I collected my scattered nerves and hurriedly approached him, my heart pounding in my chest as I lowered my gaze, wishing I could disappear. "Larry," Draco called, his voice tinged with excitement, "this is my pretty fiancée, Lily. And Lily, this is Larry, my twin brother."

"Hello, sister-in-law-to-be," he drawled, his tone laced with an unsettling charm, "nice to meet you." With those words, he extended his hand towards me, his gesture seemingly friendly.

I mustered the strength to meet his gaze as our hands connected, Larry's grip tightened, his hand squeezing mine, my fingers felt crushed within his tight grasp, and a sharp pang shot through my arm.

A flicker of pain flashed across my face, but I quickly masked it behind a polite smile, unwilling to give Larry the satisfaction of knowing he had affected me. I returned his firm handshake as best I could, my hand trembling in his grip.

As Larry released my hand, his smirk widened, revealing a glint of mischief in his eyes. It was as if he relished the discomfort he had caused, "It's really nice to have you here, Lily."

"Come all of you, let's have dinner and Larry, you have so much explaining to do, what the fuck brings you home after years?" Draco asked as we made our way to the table.

"Nothing much, I just missed home and a little kitten escaped from me so I decided to come home and seek," Larry said with a laugh and my heart began to hammer harder against my chest.

As the family settled down for dinner, amidst talk, I played with my meal, trying hard to answer all the questions they asked me. Most of the topic revolves around Larry, also I noticed the strain between Larry and his Dad. Maybe there was some problem, I couldn't care less because I'm in a bigger problem myself.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom," I mumbled and Draco nodded before waving me away.

I walked till I found some open room and slid inside, dropped on the floor, and let the tears flow. I don't need to use any fucking restroom, I wanna go home, back to my Mom!

"God, how did everything change all of a sudden? Why does it have to change? I just wanna finish school and live a better life with Mom... Why God? Why?"

"Larry... He wouldn't dare do anything to me. I'm his twin brother's fiancée, he would not dare any shits with me."

I kept mumbling and sobbing till my eyes caught sight of a nice bed and I dragged myself there to lay down for a minute and regain my composure before leaving. There's no room for weakness in a mafia, I have to be strong if I wanna survive.

I tried to fight the fatigue that overwhelmed me all of a sudden but I ended up sleeping off anyway.

"Hello Kitty... Wake up. Your fiance is looking for you."

My eyes shot open immediately and I met face-to-face with Larry, a devilish smirk playing on his lips. The idiot was on the bed; I tried to move but I was trapped between his legs.

"Shhhh, don't say a word and don't move." He ordered and despite the calmness in his voice, I was forced to obey him.

I lay there, facing him and his huge figure hovered over me, "I'm barely home yet and you already made your way into my bed, huh Kitty?"

My eyes widened as I searched for words to defend my action.

"Don't worry, I'll give you what you want. You think you can run away from me, huh little one?"

"Let me go, I'm... I'm your brother's fiancée." I huffed trying to push him away but he trapped my hands above my head and leaned in so close till his lip were close to my ears,

"You might belong to my brother now," his voice was a venomous whisper, his breath hot against my skin, "but you were mine first, Kitty." He whispered and licked my ear so gently that goosebumps covered my body.

"You're stupid! Do you have a death wish? If your brother finds out, he will kill you!" I shout-whispered but he only chuckled, bite my ear lobe before staring at me deep in the eyes and asked,

"Are you gonna tell him, Kitty?”
