Thierry POVI walked into my father's study room. "Good morning, Dad." I greeted."Morning, son, how is your health?" He asked with a frown while observing my face, and I could tell he was angry with me."See, Dad, I would have gone out with the guards, but I had to go alone yesterday because it was urgent." I explained, and he sighed."It should not repeat itself!" He scolded, and I passed him a sinister smile."Well, you should be thanking me, you know, I helped you catch one of your thevies, and I even put him in where he belongs." I accounted for him proudly.His lips pulled up into a thin smile before saying, "That's good; I'm proud of you.""You should be, but the new girl helped me track him down, and I must say she is doing well lately.""Oh, yes, I know she will be handy like Jahi." My father muttered pridefully before pushing a paper to me.I picked it up, wondering what it could be. "Missing guns?" I furrowed my brows at the report."Yes, I want you to do a quick checkup i
Lilith POVI was fuming in anger when I realized my room door was locked. However, I spun my body to look at who was heading towards me when I heard the clicking sound of heels."Hi Lilith, please follow me." Flora said this to me in a serious tone, and I gazed at her then began to follow her, and we both went in the direction of the upper floor of the mansion.We walked through the hallway leading to Don Thierry's room, making me wonder if he was asking to see me, but I got my answer in no time when Flora cracked the door of an opposite room open that wasn't his.I hastened my steps and entered along with her. I was greeted with the cozy air of the luxury room; unlike my other room, this one is dishing out the aura of luxury."This is your new room; congratulations, babe!" I heard Flora's voice, and I turned to look at her with a confused expression."What do you mean by my new room?" I asked, still finding it hard to comprehend what I just said."C'mon darling! "This beautiful room
Lilith POVSOME DAYS LATER..After taking a hot bath, I exited the bathroom and entered my bedroom, only to be greeted by a shadow figure.I jittered in fear. "Please don't kill me!" I screamed out while clutching my bathrobe as I pleaded for my life."Who is killing you?" I heard Don Thierry's melancholic voice and flung my eyes open to see if it was really him.He was sitting on my bed, and due to the dim light of the room, I couldn't see his face properly."Ah, good evening coach; I don't know it's you!" I said with a little laugh before approaching him."Hmm! "Scared cat, come and get dressed; we are going somewhere for your next training session." He proclaimed and stood up from the bed before walking over to my wardrobe, making me wonder what he was trying to do."Come here!" He demanded and then pulled off a set of clothes."Take it off!" He indicated my bathrobe, and I furrowed my brows at him. I wasn't wearing anything inside, and this damn man is requesting for me to take
Lilith POV"A earthscraper!" I shouted in excitement with stars in my eyes."Let's go, babydoll!" I heard Don Thierry say that to me before we walked into a nearby elevator.We were moved continuously underground before the elevator stopped us on the tenth floor.I rushed out of the elevator like an excited kid. I looked around the place. It had a steel framework, curtains, and walls of glass. The floor was made of steel tiles, and the windows were mirrored glass."This is so amazing! "I have never seen such a building like this, coach!" I screamed out in joy while stretching my arms over my head, then began to spin my body."Easy!" He cautioned me with a charming smile that I had never seen before."So cute!" I whispered in my head, then calmed myself.After taking time to enjoy the view of the place, we all walked towards a huge glass door that slid open by itself, and then we walked through it."Welcome boss!" The ladies present on the floor greeted respectfully, and Don Thierr
Lilith POV"I think that blonde-haired girl has something inside her hair." I quickly answered, pointing to a particular girl who was busy accompanying one of the guys replacing the guns.When Don Thierry was away, I noticed the girl working in and picking up something like a thin tube having a type of white power substance, without the knowledge of the men in the room.But unfortunately for her, I noticed it and saw her quickly sipping it into her hair."Good!" He said this before approaching the blonde-haired girl. "Excuse me!" He called for the girl."Yes sir!" The girl responded with a coy smile before carefully moving closer to Thierry."Remove that net from your hair," he ordered, causing the girl to leap back with her eyes wide open.She was about to turn away and run, but Thierry reacted quickly and grabbed her elbow, causing her to wince in pain.Please, sir, forgive me!" She pleaded with a shaking voice, and the next thing she knew, she fell to the ground dead!"Another thie
Lilith POV I blink my eyes multiple times due to how surprised and confused I was when Don Thierry held my body so close to his; if not for the cozy atmosphere, I would have been choked to death by his actions."I'm fine, sir; it's just a little fall." I informed immediately when I heard his chest rising and falling faster."Is he scared or worried for me? Why?" This question kept popping in and out of my head.He released me, and he turned serious. "I know, but be careful; you haven't worked the money we used to purchase you, so don't think of dying." He stated.Immediately after I heard those words from him, I felt my heart and hopes shred into pieces. "I guess I was expecting too much from him; what was I even thinking? That a person like him could ever care for me? Oh Lilith.""Am I communicating?" He barked, and I shrieked in fear before responding,"Yes, sir!""Good!" With that said, he stood up from her before she walked away from my room.I breathe out, feeling frustrated. "
Lilith POVONE WEEK LATER...Lilly, hurry up!" Flora screamed at me as she dragged my travel trunk away while I was trying to keep up with her steps from behind."Goodness! Can't you slow down a bit?" I complained immediately and managed to catch up to her.She hissed at me after shaking her head. She put our luggage into the bus boot before we hopped into the bus.Jahi, Precioux, and Kilian were already seated inside, so immediately we got inside, the bus driver started the bus, and he began to drive us to the contest destination.FIVE OURS LATER.After a long ride, we got off the bus and walked into a large hotel.Flora walked forward to the receptionist's counter. "Good morning, Miss; we are the contestants of the vipers." She said it with a smile.Oh, you are all welcome to the global hotel and event center; please have your pass card." She stated this before handing the card to Flora."You will find your suite on the thirteenth floor." She informed me with a professional smile.A
Lilith POV"I will slice off your throat and feed it to the vultures!" I replied in my head, fuming in anger for putting me in a sad mood earlier."Miss Lilith?" The man called at me, and I jerked up from my thoughts."I'm so sorry. I will first appreciate my supporters for their support; I will distribute the prizes I won to the less fortunate; and lastly, I will serve the people with my whole heart." I answered with an unsteady voice because I have lost the confidence I once had."Alright, Miss Lilith, thank you for your time. We would go through your answers while you wait in the hall for the results, please." The middle-aged man announced, and I smiled sadly at them before standing up from my seat."Damn!" I facepalmed myself immediately. I got outside, and my chest was rising and falling at a rapid pace, making my breath move slightly slower than usual.MINUTES LATER......We all saw the woman named Bianca Cowwells walk onto the stage again with a professional smile on her face.
*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
*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
*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!
*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
*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
*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
*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
*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
