LILITH POVIt was past 10pm, and Romeo had yet to be home. Ever since we arrived here, he had barely kept up late at night. Also, he sometimes mentioned that he'd be arriving late, which always put our minds at ease.But since he left, no words had been heard from him. He didn't even tell my mother where he had wandered off to since I asked her, nor Giovanni, who was starting to look like a brother figure to him."Did I do too much?" I groaned out, stretching out on the sofa in Giovanni’s office.I was lucky to see his office open when I went there after my confrontation with Casey, and I told him everything that had happened."Do you think I spoke to him too harshly?" I questioned again. "Although I am not sorry for what I said to Casey."She should have known better. She was my best friend and had gone behind me to do what she did.Giovanni was quiet. His head was bowed, and he was barely staring at me."Say something," I mumbled. Anything from him at all. I couldn't understand why

GIOVANNI POVThe door clicked shut as I stepped in. Lilith was close to it, and she didn't make a move to even move closer.Inhaling deeply to curb the rage that was suddenly filling me away, I turned to her."Why am I here?" she asked me as she continued to stand by the door.How couldn't she know? Was it her thing to always act this clueless after trying to put herself in danger, or was I the one just doing too much?No, I didn't think so. This wasn't the first time she'd acted this one, which was annoying."You bloody put yourself in danger all the fucking time, Lilith." I snapped. I couldn't hold the anger back in. "How could you just fucking stand in front of him and let you smack you with that pillow?"I had seen the interaction. I followed her as soon as she ran out of the room, and I said nothing, only watching. I had hoped she would be in control and take care of everything without me butting in. Hence, I stood and watched until it was necessary for me to speak."You saw what

GIOVANNI POVMy heart throbbed once again. I didn't know why it kept doing that. It had been doing that since I stepped out of the house. I felt kind of guilty for not precisely telling Lilith what was happening.I shouldn't feel that way because it was my life, and it wasn't as if I was bound to anyone or I promised to stay with anyone forever; I couldn't help it. I think Lilith deserved to know about Diamante's plot.At the same time, leaving her out of it seemed like the best decision ever."We are here," Rowland announced. I looked at the elegant Victorian building in front of me.The Amato's villa. The first time I came here was the last time, and it was to ensure her safety. After a message from her wanting to end it all, I arrived at the villa, hoping she was joking, until I saw it for myself.Also, after confronting her father, even though we didn't speak much and I said most of the words since I was pissed at him for neglecting his daughter in that manner, I realized he didn'

GIOVANNI POV"Bloody bastard!"I heard Gabriele Amato yell as soon as I stepped out of the house."Who the hell did he think he is? Just because he took over from that bloody thief, he believes he can walk all over us?""Father!""That's your chance to become a married woman, Diamante. Who would take you after the humiliation he put you through? I don't want any other man for you, except for him. Better start thinking of how to get to him."I scoffed, moving away from the entrance to the car. Like father, like daughter. I wasn't surprised.It was more irritating that Diamante was acting as if she was on my side. As if she hadn't planned with her father to ruin me.I hated when she looked innocent and unaware of what was going on.Whereas it was fucking planned by both of them.Rowland stepped out of the car and opened the door for me.I slid into it, sighing."Did the meeting go well?" he asked me, his hands on the steering wheel.I looked at him through the opened divider and shook m
