GIOVANNI POV"You didn't do that, man," Theo said at the other end."I did," I murmured, taking a drag from the cigar in between my fingers."That's Diego's cousin." Theo reminded me."And?" I arched a brow. "My sister died because of that wimp. And I did what I got to do."I shrugged, walking to the window and peering out of it."You're calling for war, bro. Pulling a hit on his nephew isn't the right way to go about it. What if he isn't responsible? It's possible he's only there at the wrong time-""I don't care if he's not directly involved. He placed his dirty hands on Marcella." I said through clenched teeth.The video I had watched the other day and maybe more of him terrorising her each time. I had tried my best not to give in to my rage, but I couldn't.I couldn't overlook everything he had done, and watching him walk the university as if he fucking owned it.He had been hitting on Lilith, and to stop him from doing the same thing he did to Marcella, I had done what I needed t

GIOVANNI POVI walked into the hospital, ignoring the eyes that followed me. When I got to the room Don Massimo was in, I opened the door, stepped inside, and locked it behind me to ward off intrusive nurses.Also, I wanted to be in the room alone with him.I had been restless since I heard the news about Massimo being hit. I had gone to Varese, a town about 15km from Milan. I couldn't leave there as fast as the news came due to the negotiation that was currently ongoing. If I left, I'd be missing out on the deal.In the Mafia world, leaving a negotiation halfway could be seen as a sign of weakness. Since I had enemies everywhere, they'd surely take advantage of the situation and jump in on any offer given in the deal just to spite me.It was Don Massimo who had sent me there, and now, thinking about it, I wondered if this had been set up so I'd leave and Don Massimo could be hit.They knew if I were around, they wouldn't have been able to pull this shit.I drew out a chair and sat on

LILITH POV"Does he know about the baby?""Nope," I said, pressing the phone to my right ear with my shoulder.Casey told me about seeing Giovanni in front of his usual spot today. He asked after me, and she denied knowing me.It was funny thinking about it now, but I knew Casey; I believe she was trying to protect me. It wasn't as if she didn't know who Giovanni was since I had told her a lot about him; she must have done that on impulse."Why didn't you let him know? Does your mother know, too?"I didn't respond to her as my mother suddenly appeared in the doorway. I flashed her a brief smile, arching a brow."Dinner is ready," she said."I'll be out in a few minutes," I said to her, hoping they would eat without me. I didn't think I was interested in eating whatever was prepared. By the smell drifting into my room, I could guess she had made pasta, bacon, and some pancakes.They were, in fact, one of my favorites, but at this moment, I preferred not to eat any. I'd rather go to bed

GIOVANNI POVA while later, when I came awake, I found myself in an unfamiliar room with nothing on. The girl I had seen before wasn't there, and I wondered if she had done something to me because it made no sense she had stripped me of my clothes just to help me tend to my injuries.I glanced around.The room had a dim ambient light that filtered through large windows, offering a skyline view in the distance.The walls were a soft gray, decorated with murals, and the furniture was all sharp angles and dark, polished wood.I tried to sit up but immediately regretted it as the pain in my side flared to life again. I stared at my side and noticed a small incision there. I certainly didn't get it from the people stoning me."That little witch," I murmured, clearing at the mark.From the corner of my eyes, I saw the man from earlier. John, was that his name? He was standing by the window, looking out at the city below. I hadn't noticed him there because I didn't look at that side of the w

I winced, shoving my hands into my hair. The loud music playing from the old jukebox was beginning to get to me. My head pounded, and my eyes hurt from the disco lights swirling around.I was in the clubhouse, Velvet Haven, in the gritty part of downtown. I know I shouldn't be here. But Casey had guilt trip me into coming. Also, I didn't want to stay cooped up indoors thinking about my pathetic pregnant life.So, I gave in. It wasn't as if I'd be drinking. But I could badly use one drink right now. At least to calm my nerves and to stop me from waking over the pudgy man that was sitting in the corner, eyefucking me.I tried to concentrate on Casey's dancing. She was grounding into a shirtless dude. He was all over her, and I had seen both even share a kiss. Yeah, she was totally fine with it.That was Casey, but she had boundaries. I knew she wouldn't go overboard by fucking this total stranger in the presence of everyone except if he was her date. But he wasn't. She had come alone wi
