Glad you're safe

LILITH POVTheo didn't die. I was sure of that. Of course, he had been shot at. I saw him go down. But I didn't see any blood. Someone wouldn't die without seeing any blood from a gunshot wound, right?My suspicion was confirmed when Theo burst into the room, and a relieved breath spread through me.He was alive.I turned to look at him, but Jared held onto me tightly, whispering, "Keep still,, or you'll have your throat ripped out of your damned tiny neck."I bite my lower lip, doing as he said. My focus was on Giovanni and things going on around me.I could read the fear on Christie's and Casey's faces.Giovanni was furious, even though he was trying to keep his anger in check. I wondered if he was mad at me for leaving the bar and becoming bait to Jared or mad at Jared for putting a knife on my neck.The boys had the same expression as him. Even though they said nothing. Also, they didn't move from where they were standing. I guessed they were awaiting instructions from Giovanni be

Tell me to stop

LILITH POV"How can you put yourself in danger?!" Giovanni grunted.We were already home, and I was tending to the bruise and injury he had sustained.It was just a slight cut on his palm and then bruises on his face from the punches, I guess."Why did you leave the safety of the bar?""How do I know the area was unsafe? It wasn't as if I knew I was going to walk into a disaster!""Of course, you didn't," Giovanni murmured, frowning. "Then you should have stayed with your friends all through. At least, they were smart enough not to leave the bar knowing they can be endangered.""Smart enough?" I snorted, putting down the ointment and glaring at him.I stood from the bed, creating as much distance between us as possible."I didn't mean for it to come out that way," Giovanni grimaced, using his good hand to brush his hair."You meant it," I pointed out. "All you've ever done was to make me look stupid. Stupid for getting married to you when you went around to frolic. You even have a blo

Why do you care?

LILITH POV"So?" Casey drawled, raising her eyebrow as I came down the last step of the staircase.I ignored her eyes, which were zeroed in on me while making my way toward the kitchen. I knew what was going on in her head, but I didn't want her to ask me anything—at least not in my mom's presence. She could do that while we discussed it later."Morning, Mom," I greeted."You look quite excited this morning," my mother observed."I have always been excited," I murmured, looking through the fridge.I turned to my mother, wondering what she was about to cook as she kept bringing out things from the top cabinet.I frowned, staring at her face. "Are you alright?" I asked her. She had dark circles under her eyes like she hadn't been sleeping for a while.She looked exhausted, too, thin and pale. I had seen her yesterday and even the day before, but she didn't look as awful as this. Or maybe I hadn't been paying attention at all."I am fine," my mother said with a weak smile."No, you're no

It's terrible

LILITH POVI paced the hallway, my breath coming out in a short gasp. I placed my hand on my pounding chest, keeping my gaze fixed on the door as I moved around.It was close to an hour, and none of the doctors had stepped out of the room my mother was in. I wanted to be in there with her. To see what they were doing and understand it, but the doctor had told me it would be best to stay outside."Best indeed," I muttered, glaring."You should sit. You'll tire yourself," Casey patted the space next to her.I looked at her, shaking my head. "I am fine this way."There was no way I'd be able to sit knowing my mother was still in there. I didn't even know the state she was in! How could I be relaxed?!"Well, you're not helping matters," Casey pointed out."What is not helping matters is them asking me to stay outside. What the hell? She's my mother and not theirs! I need to know what they're doing to her or if they're even attending to her at all."This wasn't a quack hospital. I knew the

It's a promise

LILITH POVGiovanni watched me as I munched on the toast. I didn't realize I was hungry until he forced me out of the hospital and to the nearest café. Thanks to Casey for being a big mouth and telling Giovanni that I needed a break and wouldn't eat anything."What?" I murmured, taking a sip from my coffee cup.He had been staring at me. I wondered if there was something on my face that he was trying to point out. I didn't freshen up before leaving the house. I doubted anyone in my shoes would have thought of doing that. Besides, I was with Giovanni. I doubted there was a need for me to start looking all nice. And he wasn't judging me. Maybe he was.I could care later after my mother was out of the room she was in. Just not now.Giovanni furrowed his brows, looking from the cup that was now on the table and back at me. "Is that even healthy? Won't it hurt the baby?""The coffee?" I questioned.Giovanni nodded. "That's your second cup.""It's fine," I pointed out. "It's barely the amou

My mother is dýing

LILITH POV"Mrs. Ricci. I'm afraid the cancer has progressed more aggressively. Perhaps something might have been done about it if she had been brought earlier."I didn't care about the last name he had called me. He'd be the first that'd refer to me as Mrs. Ricci. Well, that was my title now, seeing as I was married.I was more concerned about my mother than what he was saying.My gaze left the white wall of the room, focusing on my mother's fragile hand clasped in mine.My mother's eyes were sunken and weary, locked onto the doctor's as he spoke. I felt her hand tremble in mine.That was the last thing on my mind in everything I desired to hear."What does that mean?" I asked as soon as I found my voice. Even though the doctor's words were clear, I wanted him to repeat them again. Perhaps, I had heard wrong.The doctor's gaze shifted to mine, his expression somber. "It means that the cancer is terminal. We can try to manage the symptoms and make her comfortable, but...I'm afraid we'

Reasons to live

LILITH POVRather than leaving my mother back in the hospital, I suggested she be brought home and whatever care plan that the doctor had mentioned would be given to her in the house.Home hospice care. I wanted to be near her all the time, and I couldn't imagine how lonely she'd feel being in the hospital all by herself, surrounded by strangers. I wanted her to be near familiar faces, and when it was her final day, I'd get there to say goodbye. Although I still hope the final day won't be coming around anytime soon, even though the doctor predicted she had only months left."Did you mention anything to Romeo?" My mother asked as I started to walk to the door.I looked around the vast room, staring at the only window. It was opened, and a gentle wind drifted in. From where I was standing, close to the door, I could only see the gentle swaying of trees and the white clouds as they drifted by in the sky.I looked back at my mother, and she let out a cough."I said nothing to him," I mur

Are you jealous?

LILITH POV"How long are you going to keep it from him?" Casey leaned into me as Romeo walked past us.I stared at Romeo's retreating form before glancing at her.I shrugged, "For as long as it needs to be.""Your mother isn't getting any better, you know," she pointed out.I rolled my eyes at her. As if I needed reminding. I was aware of how her health had plummeted in the last two days.My mother didn't want Romeo to know, and no matter how guilty I felt and how much I wanted to tell him, I couldn't.I didn't want to. I didn't want to see the pain in his eyes, to see him withdraw into his shell, and to see him go rogue because of that.Boys Romeo's age were always prone to that. The fact that he had been willingly getting himself drunk and even getting stoned on top of that could worsen.Although I had seen him plastered just once, I didn't want to see him that way anymore."You know he's not a child, Lilith. Put yourself in his shoes. How'd you feel when you realized you've been li

count me in

I was living in his fancy penthouse with my mother, whom he was taking care of.Also, my brother, whom he had decided to take responsibility. I could get whatever I desired within the blink of an eye because why not?My husband was rich and willing to do whatever I desired.But I would argue that it was certainly not as they imagined it.I was getting everything I wanted from Giovanni, but I still lacked something.Attention.For about a week now, he had decided to shut himself off. Avoiding me as if I were a contagious disease and barely spoke to me whenever we came into contact.Also, he wasn't picking up my calls. I'd say that was the worst part of everything. I had decided to give him his space, believing he was going through something, and he would tell me what it was when he wanted to. He said nothing when he decided

nothing makes sense

GIOVANNI POV"This makes no bloody sense," I mumbled, glaring at the paper I had slipped out from the envelope.I furrowed my brows, trying to make sense of what I was looking at, but the more I stared at it, the more confused I got.I glanced up from the paper to see Luca. He was silent in the room."What do you mean by Daniel Russo being Lilith's father and Diego being his cousin?"While still researching Diego's disappearance, there was no way Lilith would be able to achieve the utmost peace if he was still alive.I could protect her, but I wouldn't say she wouldn't get hurt. Lilith was stubborn and acted on her own accord. I wasn't always in the same place as her, so I wouldn't know the danger that was lurking around her.With Diego still out there, I had committed myself to finding his whereabouts before he made the next move, which might not hurt Lilith alone but the baby as well. I returned to the Ricci estate only to find a secret room I had never noticed while Don Massimo was
