Lily POV

“How the hell am I going to get out of here?” I muttered out loud in the bathroom. Rosa had left me to myself a few minutes ago. I peeked and saw the guard standing right next to the door. No hope there.

I checked through the window, despite it’s large size it has ornamental burglary in the shape of a halved birdcage a few meters from the window itself. I reached out and tested the frame, if I pushed hard enough maybe I could force it off but then what? I glanced down. More guards.

  • Captured By Love    Chapter 37

    Dante's POV This whiskey wasn't working like it used to. I twirled the golden liquid in my glass watching it slosh about barely touching the tips of my fingers in it's bubbly hurry. “What did you find?” I spoke, keeping my eyes on the glass.“Well for starters, the bastards somehow made it past the men and got a ride—”“Wrong answer.”“The guy got out through the cleaning staff and hitched a ride—”“Wrong answer.” I said again in a low sing-song voice. A sigh. I looked up at the owner, a tilt of my head to the side. I mostly looked at the bandaid taped to skin on the side of their head. I landed a good shot with that gun. Not perfect though. My fingers twitched. “Try again Matteo. How about I give you a hint.” I set the glass down on my table. “How the fuck did your men lose him when he'd been sitting cooked up in there for days? Did they get lazy?”Matteo grimaced briefly dartin

    Lily's POV I couldn't sleep the whole damn night because of that man. Or the few nights afterwards. If the boys back at the restaurant heard me say those words out loud they'd holler and ask me not so guided questions. And I'd brush them off as I usually did but this was different. From the casual way he leaned on that desk to the conversation. Some parts of that night felt surreal. Why had he even bothered to do all those things? He almost felt human for a second there. I couldn't wrap my head around it. I let my fingers trace along the spines of books layered on the shelves. I glanced around. The place was practically empty. I wondered what a man like him used a library for when he was barely in it. Not that I was a book reader myself. I stopped a long while back. Jobs took over my days and sleep took over some nights.Pulling a random book off the shelves I walked out of the room, eyes skimming the pages for something engaging. I d

  • Captured By Love    Chapter 35

    Dante's POV I shouldn't even be here. I shouldn't have walked by the room at all but my curiosity had me in splits. After Matteo had been dealt with I could've sworn I passed by this door a couple times contemplating a knock. I wasn't proud to say that I decided against it and went down to the kitchen to get something to clear my head. I may have avoided Lily but Rosa was hell bent on reminding me.“Have you even seen her once since you got back?” She'd asked. “I have to work Rosa, the world doesn't stop because of what happened.” I sighed, running my hands through my hair. “Besides, how am I supposed to find the person who disobeyed and caused the shit storm if I don't work.”“But yet you worry. Some maid saw you pacing around her room a few times.”Well shit. Nosy staff really existed everywhere didn't they?“Who?” I groaned quietly.“That is for me to know. I say go visit her. You gave her a room and every

    Lily's POV The ceiling looked a lot fancier than I would've expected. Someone would've called me crazy if they heard me thinking or talking like this. But I couldn't and honestly didn't know what else I could be doing. My arms still burned from all the scrubbing. My skin red underneath my clothing. I couldn't see it but I just knew it. Felt it. Time seemed to want to move quicker but something wasn't agreeing with it. Someone was out to make me process every single moment of this and I didn't appreciate the sentiment. I turned on my side, careful of my hand, the pain had numbed like the rest of my body but I still made sure. I clearly remembered the slice of the glass on my skin when I grabbed it. No clue what I had broken just to get the weapon. “I really thought I was going to die today.” The thought circled in my head.My heart thumped in my chest, I placed my free hand over it. Breathing deeply I distracted myself by foc

  • Captured By Love    Chapter 33

    Dante's POV I shut my eyes for just a moment. Resisting the urge to strangle someone. But I couldn't quite get the twitch in my hands to go away.“Luca, where the fuck is Matteo?” I kept my voice low.“I have no fucking idea.”Clenching my jaw I stared straight at him. I watched him shift in his seat, maintaining eye contact with me. He dare not drop it. “Go find him, Bull.” Isabella smacked his back startling him for a fraction of a second.“I honest to God don't know where the fuck he is. The moment we stepped foot in here he vanished like the fucking Ghost he is.” he explained to her. “Well if you don't find him in the next five minutes I'll put a bullet through both of you and have the dogs eat you for dinner tonight.” Luca got his body out of my leather chair. The crease of the material screeching against him. He moved quickly, getting himself out of the room very quickly. “Motherfucker.” I sw

  • Captured By Love    Chapter 32

    Dante's POV I may have started to lose my edge. I couldn't tell where. But it was definitely prevalent. Somewhere in between my call with Diego I learnt that human beings were rats and the ones underneath me kept up their mucky behaviour by interacting more with dirt cheap traitors. With all the buzz going around the government and inside my own ranks, hearing about Diego's new findings made me hold my head with my palm. I was stressed but I definitely wouldn't show it.“So what are you trying to tell me Diego? More of your men —my men— started growing wings. Why inform me? Why not just clip them off yourself. I don't recall being a fairy godmother who granted you wishes.”“I know boss. Just that since your last visit, things have been working against us over here. There's been no word from the gang fights upstate. My guys can't find anything—”“If they can't find anything then they aren't working hard enough which equals to you.” I exhaled, refu
