*Thierry POV*I tap away with my foot, waiting patiently in the car for Veronica. We would be going out to have a romantic dinner, which of course was part of my plan to make her sign a particular contract of alliance without me having to marry her. Although it's a secret and a blind contract, I have to do it.My father will not easily approve of me and Lilith getting married, and this whole alliance thing is making him freak out these days, so I have to look for other means to make him be in the spot of no other choice."Hey man!" Veronica called out teasingly, giving me a quick side peek at both cheeks of mine."You look ravishing!" I compliment her; she is indeed beautiful and blessed, a spec of every man, but unfortunately, I am not part of that. I have someone I now love so dearly and can't stand to lose."So, tell me what we are in for today." She tried to flirt, moving closer to my seat point and blowing her gum at me sexily.I pat her shiny blonde hair affectionately. "We are
*Lilith POV*Days fly by so fast. Everyone was so busy preparing for Thierry's big day, which was also my big day. I can't still believe he wants to risk getting married to someone like me.I put on casual wear, a cargo pant, a sweatshirt, and ankle boots. I took one last look at myself in the mirror before exiting my room. I am going to see Jenny in order to discuss the switching plans; she is the only one that I can trust to keep the secret and help me out on that day.I bumped into Thierry unexpectedly; he was looking dead serious as well as drained. One could see the bags under his eyes. I know he has been working his ass out lately. "Hey, you look stressed." I uttered it worriedly."Yeah, we are working on keeping everyone safe; besides, we have a traitor in our means." My mind went back to what I saw—the encounter between Leonard and Jahi—but I don't really know if I should let him know; besides, I haven't confirmed it yet."Is there anything you want to tell me?" I snap out of
*Author POV*It is the day everyone has been waiting for—a day where the next in line will be getting married.The Viper's household has been beautifully decorated, ravishing in luxury and perfection.All important, powerful, and well-respected mob leaders and their families in all walks of life have been invited to come and witness this great day.All arrangements have been made, and the guest could be seen flooding in, looking classy and powerful.The men dressed up in a classic striped tuxedo and a Snow White shirt, some with suspenders. While the ladies put on a sleek red gown with their hair done like a la cabaret hairstyle,The car park was filled with different colors of luxurious retro cars, giving off the power of the mafia clans.The whole vicinity was heavily guarded with armed goons, waiting to mess with anybody who dared disrupt the process of the ceremony.The guests were seated respectfully, the melody of jazz music entertained the guests, and as much as it was a weddin
*Author POV*Thierry carefully took the hands of his bride, leading her up to the podium. A resounding clap escalates in the air as soon as the bride and groom meet each other on the podium."You look so stunning!" Thierry complimented with joy; he was feeling happy and glad that he was about to get married to the woman of his dreams."And you too, love." Lilith smiled nervously, still feeling wary about the crowd.The guests give their full attention as the bride and groom recite their vows, exchange rings, and sign the marriage certificate. The priest conducting the wedding blesses them before pronouncing them husband and wife.Cheers continue to blow off in the air with congrating compliments. Thierry went forward to raise the vein to kiss his bride. Sounds of gunshots resound in the air as he took his wife into a warm embrace, kissing her so passionately.They turned to face the crowd, and right that moment, the gunshots stopped, the cheers and congrats stopped, and everyone was b
*Lilith POV*Everything happened just in a twinkle of an eye; the party ended in a blissful state despite the whole drama earlier. I wish this day never ends.Thierry and I were escorted to his room. Since we are now married,I guess I have to now share the same room with him."Need some help!?" He asked sweetly, seeing me struggling to take off the wedding dress, I gave a tired nod.He came forward and helped me undress, clean the make-up on my face, and pack my hair neatly into my hair net.We took a quick bath and were ready to go to sleep. I smiled at the bed covered with red roses and the beautiful sexy lingerie that was kept on the side. I guess whoever decorated this wanted us to have a memorable night."Get clothed and go to sleep, okay?" He spoke casually, as if he were going out for some serious business."Are you going out?" I couldn't stop myself from asking, and he raised an eyebrow at me. I didn't mean to act or be perceived as clinging just because we are now married; I
*Lilith POV*My eyes flutter open, followed by a pang of pain. I didn't know what happened; what I could only remember was that I was hit by a stranger, but the stranger felt farmilar."Hello! Who is here?"I called out, using the last straw of my strength. My orbs studied the room in which I was placed; it felt more like a cell. My body was covered in dirt, and my legs were chained, leaving my body with only underwear and being placed on the cold floor.My mind felt fuzzy, but I tried to keep my eyes open. Whatever this is, it's very dangerous, and I can bet I'm not in the viper's household.After awhile, the door finally opened, and a masked figure entered, holding a plate of food."Who are you, and why am I here?" I questioned the guard but received no response from him; he just gestured for me to eat and left."God have mercy," I mumble in shaky breath. It didn't take long before I was fetched from the room, heading to God knows where. I simply followed them quietly till we got to
*Thierry POV*After learning about what I did last night, I felt so awful and decided to make it up to her.I asked Boris what I could offer to my wife for hurting her, but his dumb brain was worse in the aspect of women than mine, so I quickly did research online, and after so many ridiculous ideas, I settled for bouquets of flowers and some luxurious sets of jewelry with her name engraved on them beautifully.Getting to the base, I was delayed a bit with an emergency about Jahi missing from the base as well as some of our weapons.After taking care of the issue a bit, I decided to head to my room to see my woman before going back. "Babydoll! Babydoll!" I called out sweetly but got no response.I searched the entire room but couldn't find her. I didn't know when panic began to sip in, but I didn't allow it to get to my head. I guess she must be somewhere in the household.Seconds passed into minutes and minutes into hours, but Lilith couldn't be found, her whereabouts unknown."Bang!
*Thierry POV*The fool thought that just because he has given me such a beating, I'm good as dead, but that was his costly mistake.As soon as he left me for a moment to go and reload his gun, I summoned my strength and lunged for him from behind.I throw out my fist, hitting him on the nose till it broke to my satisfaction. I throw my fist again to his side, but he dodges it, throwing out his, hitting me straight in the eye. I wince and kick his gorin. I aim for his left, kicking his ass out, then duck, tackling him to the ground.I brought out my pistol and blew off his brain, killing him on the spot. I stood up, brought out a handkerchief, and cleaned up the blood from my body.I made a body twist, whining my shoulders to an unknown song as I whistled forward to get another opponent.The sound of bullets didn't stop going off in the atmosphere, as did the sound of pain and cries. I got to a particular door and took out the goons without much difficulty."Welcome!" A proud voice gre
*Author POV*The Viper's household was buzzing with celebration; after the burial ceremony of their late Don, came the immediate crowning of the next Don for a new regime.Thierry made a glorious walk to the stage with his heavily pregnant wife, Lilith.Cheers and praise filled the atmosphere at the great entry of their new leaders, the Mafia King and the Mafia Queen.Thierry raised his hands high as an indication for Slience: "I have some great news for you all as well as a bad one." He spoke authoritatively."I know you all have been wishing for such a day, a day where you will be free from this bondage of the Viper's organization." He starts his speech."What I am about to say is a decision I have thought of day and night, and I have come to the conclusion that you all deserve it. From now on, the organization known as the Great Viper's will be temporarily disbanded until further notice!" He announced, causing an uproar to fill the air; he could see people arguing and raining curse
*Lilith POV*I was ushered into a huge bedroom, where I stumbled upon a set of sexy clothes with the note, "Get sexy for me!" I felt like poking, seeing the disgusting note, but I have to fight myself to stay strong, if not for anything but for the sake of my baby.I scan the room, hoping to see an escape route, but unfortunately I can't pinpoint any. The window was off limits because it's built like a cell window, with rods crossing each other.I bite the bottom of my lips, stomping my foot on the floor, clearly frustrated. I prayed for what felt like forever for someone to come to my rescue. I can't stand that old hag laying his hands on me. I would rather die."Oh baby!" The door cracked open, revealing the devil himself. I scooted away from his approach before he could raise those stinking hands of his to touch me."C'mon! Be good to daddy."He chimed, coming closer to me while I continued to step back. "Stay away from me, old man!" I yelled but got a terrifying slap in return."I
