~VITTORIA~

It was safe to say that never in my life would I have been so delighted to see Roman. And most especially when I was in this kind of state, one he hadn't seen me in before.

Simone backed up a bit, At the same time Roman strode to where we were, and the previous excitement in his eyes remained, only that it didn't look as dominating as before and his confidence was suddenly wrapped up a bit.

Roman glared at him as he took my hand in his and ran a quick check at me. "What is going on here?" Roman repeated tearing his eyes away from me to Simone. "What did you say to her?"

Simone scoffed unimpressed. "Nothing I shouldn't have. A little information on Isabelle is no harm."

From the side, I saw Roman's jaw clench and his grip tightened around my wrist. There was silence and it looked like they were sharing unspoken words between them.

I stood, words far from my mouth to even say anything and the only thing that rang in my head was Isabelle and a deal and her standing here and of

  • Lilith Addiction(A mafia book)    Chapter 28

    ~VITTORIA~My head hurt almost as bad as the light that was harsh on my face. I hissed irritatedly trying to think of a reason why Nicola didn't shut the blinds as she did every night.I tossed on the bed and rolled over, backing the light and pulling the sheet over my shoulder to cover my face. The bed and sheet felt different but I guessed it was only because it had just gotten changed so I didn't really think much about it.Well until I heard some noise coming from somewhere in the room.My eyes flew open and an unfamiliar room came into view. I twisted my face as the light rays shot at my face strongly again and I sat up looking around.This wasn't my room.My room wasn't a light shade of Grey, wasn't this big, didn't have a high ceiling with more expensive marble floors, a dark shade of Grey colored dresser, a nude painting of a faceless woman on the wall, or any dark Grey colored drapes.I took the sheets off myself to see I was in a white oversized hoodie and my underwear and I

    ~ VITTORIA ~"What?!" I shouted with my eyes wide open. "You've got to be lying.""When have I ever lied to you, wifey?" He asked with an eyebrow raised.I bit my lower lips and narrowed my eyes at him and his t-shirt which was revealing his toned chest with every movement he did. "Well, people do all sorts of things when they're drunk.""Like what?" He asked dropping his mug and folding his arms like I had just opened up a new room for conversation. And if I was being totally honest, this was the first time we were having a conversation where I didn't feel like hitting him the next moment. Maybe it was the hangover. Yeah, I was sure it was."Waking up in people's bed, dancing crazily, kissing random people." I counted on my fingers."And confessing they enjoyed sex with me after being in denial for so long?" He smirked.I stood up. "I'm out of here." I grabbed the mug, took a last sip from it, and headed over to the sink to drop it. And I felt Roman's eyes follow me. When I turned to

    ~ROMAN~"Okay but dude, you gave her that hoodie?!" Cleto shouted in a louder voice as soon as we all heard the door to Vittoria's room close shut."Drop it Cleto," I replied to him.He studied me for some time before his eyes slowly opened wide and he gasped, "You like her, don't you?""I wouldn't mind smacking your head for a third time," I told him eyeing him.North sat on a stool beside Cleto, watching me. "He's a goner. He's totally in love. Mother would be glad to hear that.""If only you'd go tell her yourself." I snapped back eyeing him as well making him scoff.Diego shook his head, "And the bet?""Look. Why are you guys even here?" I asked changing the topic. "I've got a busy day today," I added starting to get irritated by their questions. So what if I liked her? They didn't know the history we had before the stupid bet or marriage. And who even still gave a fuck about that stupid bet?"Meeting with Zaed? It was supposed to be this evening." Diego answered in a matter-of-fa

    ~VITTORIA~I stood conflicted. Trying to fight being vulnerable before him and acting like his words hadn't made my supposed hardened heart turn into a soft mush of love Jelly. If there was something like that."I'm sorry about Isabelle." He repeated and before I said any extra thing, he drew me into a hug. His arms were wrapped tightly around my neck and back and with the way he snuggled into my neck and drew me closer, it felt like he had wanted to do so for so long.I didn't hug him back though, it felt wrong to do so for some reason. Hugging back an Argentero, one of the people who had caused Isabelle's death. I had no idea what she would think of me wherever she was and how bad of a person and selfish I was.I pulled back but he still held my hands and I took a deep breath, deciding it was finally time to let him know. "Do you know why I regret that night with you so much?" I asked him, searching his eyes to see if he even had the slightest hint. "It's because that was the same n

    ~VITTORIA~The party was at a hotel, according to Yara and it was going to be strictly on invitation. I mean she was still part of a mafia family even though she was a celebrity and in the spotlight. And besides who knew what next was going to happen? If someone else that wasn't Bianchi was by a corner and was deciding to end us all.We were on the way already, I rode with Roman as usual and we were dressed just right for the occasion. Roman had come home the day before with another set of dresses and shoes and whatnot just like he had done before our wedding party. And of course a bouquet of roses which he had said he needed to start getting more often for me. Even though I told him it wasn't going to be necessary.We pulled up in front of the giant hotel that was well-lit from the outside and screamed luxury. As Roman held the door open for me and I came down, a valet attendant came to us and Nicola followed behind."Ma'am, I'm not sure but I think I just sighted one of Mr Tiziano's

    ~VITTORIA~"And if I don't want to?" I asked him crossing my legs and leaning back into my seat."You know damn well I'm not asking now, am I?" He asked."Can't believe she's letting the man stand for so long," One of Yara's celebrity friends said. "I'd stand in a heartbeat and let him do away with me.""Fucking stuck up bitch." Another mutteredI looked around a bit to see some more eyes were starting to fall on us and I sighed, standing up. I was determined to not make the headlines."Now that wasn't hard, was it?" Roman asked as he led me to the dance floor. The light dimmed as if it had been waiting for us to step into the floor and all that was left was a lit silhouette of couples together and others who sat in the crowd."You were flirting with him right?" He asked as he placed his hands on my waist and pulled me in making me gasp at how roughly he did it."I have a knife in my dress if you're being this way." I threatened and he rolled his eyes as we moved side by side slowly.

    ~VITTORIA~My eyes rested on Roman and he still had his back turned to me, walking back to our table. I wondered if the man who had the gun to my side knew I had come with Roman. And if he did, I thought about what would happen when Roman noticed I was gone.My legs didn't stop moving but they were not trembling either. It was not the first time I was in this position and all I had to do was find an opening and slice the dude with the knife I had hidden which was hugging my thigh tightly.Yara and Zaed or whatever his name was, looked like they were flirting with each other and none of them noticed what was going on either. Well, not like I could blame Yara though, I mean, she had since distanced herself from the Cosa Nostra so it wasn't like she had any reason to be on the alert.The next set of couples walked past us to the dance floor just as Roman took a seat and turned around. Martini was crouching over now whispering in his ear and I saw his smile drop as he scanned the dance fl

    ~VITTORIA~He helped me into the car and I realized I didn't struggle for him to leave me alone this time around. He was being gentle with me as well, carrying me carefully to avoid hurting me further. From time to time, I could see him bite at his inner cheeks, steal a glance at me, and repeat the same thing all over again. I was just bad at guessing what he was thinking about.When we got home, he carried me in and helped me to the sofa in the living room.I had certainly not come not spent that much time in the living room and most especially, not with him in it so I was kind of taking in the whole living room all over again and realizing that he really had good taste for interior decor. He lowered himself in front of me and took off my heels, massaging each foot gently after he did so. He had removed his jacket long ago and his shirt hands were rolled up almost to his elbows. His tie was gone also and a few of his top buttons were opened.When he was finally done with the massage

    VITTORIAA wave of emotion washed over me, and I stared at him, the intense moment we had just shared still lingering between us. He had told me this before, and here he was, uttering the same words again. I didn’t think I had openly ever admitted it to myself or to him either but I actually didn’t despise him any longer. If anything, I had been sharing passionate moments with him more, allowing him to be clingy around me and more, the guilt I felt towards Isabelle had almost disappeared. I was still there because I still had to find who had caused her to leave this world, but I was almost invisible in Roman’s presence because I was slowly learning not to channel my anger toward him. It was like I was finally putting myself first over everything, over the whole guilt and over being angry and resenting him just because of his last name.His eyes watched me passionately and softly as he held me close, making my heart ache with tenderness which I didn’t know I had for him this much. It w

    ~VITTORIA~"Tiziano is awake?" I asked, looking at Roman, who seemed to have his attention on me already, his face filled with surprise as well. "Yes," Uncle Quinto replied. "Woke up this morning and he's doing fairly well now.""That's good news I guess," I said to him, watching Roman beckon on me to come back to the bed to stay with him. And I obeyed. "I'll still have to sort things out here, though, before I come back. You know that Right, Uncle Quinto?" "Yes dear, yes. The meeting is still holding with the chemists. I laid them off for a bit." Uncle Quinto replied. Roman pulled me close to him and kissed my cheeks while I was still on the phone, and I pouted, shoving him away while biting back a smile. "Ouch, wifey. That hurts." He said clutching his chest. "Both physically and emotionally."He pulled me closer again, spreading his legs on the bed and putting me in between his thighs. He was in a fresh set of loose grey pants that I had changed him into when we arrived after

    ~VITTORIA ~ "Roman, are you awake," I said, dropping the water immediately and going over to him. His nose wrinkled as he pressed his lips in a fine line. He was obviously still in pain while trying to find his balance and a position that wouldn't hurt him as he sat. Cleto and North wore worried expressions as they stopped right beside the bed, staring at him and Nicola shut the door behind them quietly. "Roman.. How do you feel?" I asked him again. He gave me a little smile, "I'm fine, babydoll. Never been better." He turned to face North and a glare replaced the smile which he had. North shifted uncomfortably on his feet and rubbed his neck awkwardly, "Uh--miss Vittoria called. I couldn't sit at home knowing you were in an accident." "Get the fu*k out of here," Roman ordered, his voice still raspy from sleep all while being commanding at the same time. My mind went back to the time when we were at their house and they were in an argument. It had just dawned on me that they h

    ~VITTORIA~I looked over to the direction he shot at and saw two men fall to the ground beside our car."I I saved you again wifey," Roman told me and I turned to him, seeing his face turning paler by the second. "Told you you didn't need to worry when you're with me."I heard onto him tighter as he started to let go of his weight slowly on me, "I think you're about to pass out again."He gave me a wide grin. "I'd be pleased to do so in your arms, you know?""Could you be serious for once Roman?" I asked eyeing him then scanning the area to be sure we were finally clear. "You need to be quiet now or you'll loose more blood." I said as I helped him and we walked to one of the cars which was upside down now, with broken windows and inflated tyres. He settled down, dropping the gun beside him and groaned, shutting his eyes.I moved his hair away from his face and cupped his face in my hands. "Roman, you'll need to keep your eyes open and stay with me right now."He nodded, opening them a

    ~ VITTORIA ~"Shit," I said turning to look at Roman. He held my hand immediately and I saw him take out a gun with his other hand."It's going to be okay. I'm not letting anything happen to you." He assured me and I could see it in his eyes that he meant what he said which made me trust him more. Our car sped up while Roman and Nicola started to shoot at where the car which was attacking was.The whole thing was becoming more fierce and the ride was becoming bumpy. In less than 2 minutes, the car behind us which had Roman and Uncle Quinto's men crashed into a pole making a halt. "Don't stop driving, Gio!" Roman commanded. "Vittoria babydoll, are you okay?" He asked scanning from my hair down to my body and I nodded swiftly. I hadn't noticed how tight I had clutched to him or the reason why I had because I mean I was Vittoria, the Lilith, not a girl who couldn't take care of herself. But here I was anyway, acting like I hadn't earned that nickname myself. Two more of our cars fill

    ~VITTORIA ~ I woke up in Roman's bed, again. This was something I was not going to get used to anytime soon. We had not addressed what had happened at Simone's house a few days ago and he didn't look like he was going to talk about it so I just kind of let it be. The day after that, he had come back acting like his usual self, flirty and annoying. He had even gotten me a couple of gifts while coming back home and I thought that was sweet of him. Yesterday evening, he had met me in the kitchen, making coffee which I had planned to use to keep me awake while I worked. And somehow we had started flirting and the flirting had turned into kissing him and now I was awake the next day in his bed. How I had just given in to him made me realize how much I had missed him from the last intimate night we shared and I found myself this morning wanting more of him even. He was snoring softly behind me as he moved a little, I turned around gently to face him. He had his arm on me and in his slee

    ~ROMAN~"I can say I'm sorry I brought up mum," North said and it was taking every amount of self-control in me to stop me from hitting him."You love being his little pet, don't you?" I asked him and I saw him roll his eyes. I hated it when he was like this. And by this, I meant thoughtless and fucking annoying. "I'm just obeying him. I'm seeing reasons with him." North replied with a little shrug. As if that was the most sane thing to do with father.Cleto and Diego were stood in a corner listening and trying their hardest not to interfere, as they knew best. The opened bottles of alcohol and wine were left untouched on the meeting table because as soon as we had tried to drink together, this fool had decided it was the best time to piss me off. "It's something simple. If we take over the Bellucci territory and vote them out of their power rank with the support of the other families, their routes, casinos, clubs... casinos lost especially are going to be ours and-"Before he could

    ~VITTORIA~I walked into the sitting room and scoffed, making them notice my presence. Sore enough they weren't happy to see me. Simone was sitting there together with three other men who were from other mafia families of lower rank. They had also been present at the meeting when Bianchi was killed by Roman."Y'all seem to be having a fun conversation," I told them looking from one person to another. And making sure I said it in the rudest tone I could use. "I mean since Tiziano's name was mentioned, it sparked my interest a little bit too much.""Always that damn mouth of hers," One of them spat out giving me a dirty look from head to toe."I told you." Another chipped in, in a low tone."You fuckin-""Vittoria," Roman called out softly, cutting me off and grabbing my hand. I had forgotten he was even there with me."I'll take care of it from here." He assured."Yeah, you better. I wouldn't want to deal with a woman's whining today." The first man commented once more."Say a sentence

    ~VITTORIA~The sun rays from the window which crept into the kitchen every morning were starting to make me look forward to drinking coffee on the kitchen counter every morning. And I couldn't lie, I loved it every single time. I had even bought two plants a week earlier and positioned them next to the window and so far, they had been doing quite well for themselves. In addition to Roman always remembering to water them each time. Something I always seemed to forget."You know, you really don't have to come with me to Ontario just for that," I told Roman the next morning as he dropped a coffee mug in front of me after taking a quick sip from it. "I'd just go and be back in a quick while.""Thank you," I added.He dropped a plate of waffles which he had just finished making in front of me too, dropped with his coffee as well before taking a seat in front of me. "I wouldn't want you to miss my presence so much, baby doll." He responded in a casual tone, winking at me.I rolled my eyes a
