LILITH POV"Where the fuck is Raven? It's almost midnight, and she's yet to be here?!""I never said she could come here to walk around.""And why the hell is she with Theo? What's this stupid picture about?"Christie gave the best impression of Giovanni she could while pacing around the room with her face scrunched up.When she was done speaking, she burst out into a peal of laughter. "You should see his face, Raven. He looked pissed as fuck.""It's just a picture. Why should he be mad? Besides, he's not my father and has no right to want to impose a curfew on me."I stared at Christie's phone again. All the pictures that Theo had taken of me, including our dancing, were on his Instagram page.I never knew he was the kind of person who'd have an Instagram until now.I stared at the picture for a longer time. Even if no one could recognise me as the one, I didn't want my picture to be all over the Internet on some man's arm I didn't even know."It's a job well done, and I am satisfied

LILITH POV Giovanni opened the car door for me before the driver could.I stepped out of the car, and he put his arms around my waist.Sucking in a deep breath, I watched as his hand casually rested on my waist as if it was the most natural thing to do. He didn't look fazed, unlike me.My body was on high alert, my heart pounding continuously as if I had been running, my pussy clenched and unclenched, and my nipples tingled, straining against the fabric of the dress.Thank goodness it wasn't translucent.Since today I had been reacting unreasonable to Giovanni. From being Jealous that he was always around Diamante to wanting him now.Perhaps it was due to his nearness. If he wasn't near me, I often had a clear though and he was barely part of it.I pushed his thoughts to the back of my head, looking around me for the first time, my brows drew together in a frown, and I turned to him. "I thought we were..."Going to a fancy restaurant as we always did. I was hoping this was a mission

LILITH POV"Spill, Spill, Spill," Christie singsonged, plopping on the chair while crossing her legs.I shook my head, going to the vanity table to sit. I sighed, staring at my reflection. Indeed, I looked questionable.Aside from Christie and Diamante, I couldn't help but wonder what was going through the others' minds.For instance, Theo could see me as a cheap whore. I grimace. The look on his face was enough to expect that even if he wouldn't say it loud to my face."Raven!" Christie shouted, causing me to jump."Stop that," I winced, covering my ears."I asked you a question, and you're trying to zone out on me. That isn't fair. I thought we were friends and should tell each other everything?""We are friends," I murmured, but not best friends. As far as I was concerned, the only person I could easily narrate this to was Casey, who wasn't here.Casey wouldn't judge me. She'd rather cheer me on. It seemed weird, right? Yeah, but she was that kind of friend."Fine," Christie mutter

LILITH POVI had never thought I'd be arrested, much less sleeping in the station and waiting for someone to bail me out of this mess.Sometimes, I tend to wonder what it felt like being behind bars, and now that I was here, it wasn't a pretty sight or feeling. The fact that I was in a foreign land, taken for an offense I didn't commit, I mean drugs?I had never thought of doing drugs before. And now one was found in my possession. I couldn't help but wonder who had done that.Diamante? That was my first guess. But she had jumped in my defense, and she might even get into trouble for trying to stop them from taking me. I had seen the tears in her eyes and her distraught appearance.Even though she had been a meanie, I didn't think she could fake that emotion.Now, who'd have planted the drug in my bag? The driver maybe? He hadn't left the car.At least, he should have been courteous enough to see what was happening or maybe he didn't just want to interfere, yet he was the only one in

LILITH POVThe soft morning light crept through the window, casting a warm glow across the room.I stirred, opening my eyes slowly. The events of last night flooded back in bits and pieces. I grimace while sitting on the bed despite my body being sore.Unlike the first time, I consented to everything that happened last night, so I was a little less embarrassed about the situation.I was still in Giovanni’s room, but he wasn't here. I touched the part of the bed where he had laid to see if it was cool to my touch.He must have gone as soon as he came awake or maybe he didn't sleep in the room.Holding onto the headboard as I climbed down from the bed, my legs trembled. They had barely done anything last night, yet it seemed to be the most affected in my body.I took a step forward, taking another, slowly until I reached the vanity table. I sat on the chair, staring at myself in the mirror.I looked pretty awful. My cheeks were stained with mascara, which must be from when I had cried l
