LOGINHe closed the gap between us and his hand travelled to my waist, pulling me closer to himself. His cologne filled my nostrils and he cupped my face in his hand gently. The look in his eyes whenever he looked at me always seemed like he was watching something so ethereal and now wasn't any different. I was supposed to hate him, to not be able to stand him. But why was I letting him do this? And why did I like it too? Love it even? He smirked at me, leaning down with our lips almost touching, his minty breath fanning my face. "I'm fucking addicted and obsessed with you if you haven't noticed." He paused as he studied me while I took a deep breath. "Are you sure you can't stand me?" He asked. "Or are we going to keep on lying to ourselves, babydoll?" ~ Vittoria Belluci, popularly known as 'Lilith' is short tempered, bossy, fiesty, poor social skills and a beautiful resting bitch face.

View More~VITTORIA~ A few months had passed and life was settling into a quieter rhythm. No one could find North or his body, so we didn't know if he was alive or not. Zade Stokes, who had been in it with him, couldn't be found either so there wasn't really any lead to North. Every week, a search team would go back to the ocean to search for his body and it was always the same disappointing story. Simon's funeral had been a few days after his death. My failure to avenge Isabelle's death ended up not being a choice I even made. But at the same time, I couldn't bring myself to celebrate Simon's death or mourn it either. For Roman, it was different. I watched him at Simon's funeral, his shoulders square and his eyes dry, watching the coffin go into the ground with a silent anger that radiated out of him. I doubted if he had any trace of sorrow in him. I knew he had a whole lot of things to say to Simeon, and not being able to say them, but instead seeing Simeon's lifeless body staring back at
~VITTORIA~"I did it for us, Vittoria," Tiziano retorted, his voice becoming louder. "We were going under, almost losing the business. I wanted to make life better for us. For you!" "And at what cost did that come? Mother's and Isabelle's life!" I shouted back at him. I was angry. Angry at him, at Simeon, at North, at myself. I was angry at mother for dying. Choosing to go with Isabelle instead of staying for me. The anger seeped through my blood and I felt it surge hotter and hotter. Tiziano shot me a fierce look from and his lips trembled with words that he didn't utter. Without another word, he turned and walked out, his bodyguards following him closely. "Tiziano loves you, Vittoria." Uncle Quinto told me just as Tiziano left, his eyes fully apologetic. "He acts like he doesn't, and he was wrong for what he did. You should cut him some slack this time. At least for me."I looked away, and my eyes fell on the now-empty North's car at the corner. And all I could picture was Isabe
~VITTORIA~It was the early hours of the morning, and the day was now brighter. The fog had cleared, and the atmosphere was fresh and the air cool. An hour had passed by, and there was a squad already down at the ocean trying to save North and get his car out. Roman was seated by me, looking at the scene unfolding, receiving first aid for his bullet wound. The bleeding had been reduced and the guys in charge were trying to get the bullet out. I saw his uninjured hand tightly gripping his knee and little beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, then proceeded to run down his temple. The clanking of the bullet on the oval steel plate forced my gaze to it and I heard Roman grunt under his breath. It was obvious he had been holding in this pain all this time, pretending to be fine while chasing North. I grabbed his hand, squeezing it gently, "How were you putting up so far? You look so bad now."He grunted again just as the disinfectant came in contact with the injury, "I might have
~ VITTORIA ~It's not like this is an all paid vacation," Roman grumbled as we strided towards the car park, looking everywhere for North."It just means finding him quickly." I replied glancing around impatiently. I didn't know about Roman, like what he had in mind to do to North once he saw him. But I was sure. I was sure of what I wanted. And I wanted him dead, with my bullet through his head.We heard screeching from tires which alerted our attention and then we saw North, driving out of the hotel."We're not letting him get away. The car is right there," Roman said, pointing the key fob to the car. He pressed a button on it and the lights of the car blinked twice, signaling it was his.We hurried into the back of the car while Diego and Nicola occupied the front.Then we drove off and out of the hotel, to catch up with North.The gap between our vehicle and North's was closing up faster as Diego pushed the accelerator further. The dawn hour of the morning made the trees look dull
