♕—Delilah I looked out the bedroom window day and night. The Cosa Nostra rarely contacted my brother because they already had all the control of the country, they could cross the border as they pleased, smuggled their weapons and drugs as they pleased, and my brother was barely a puppet whose only responsibility was to sign away what Nikolai Costello asked him off. There hadn't been a single message or a piece of news about a certain black-haired, black-eyed man that I had been waiting for day and night. My heart was crushed at the thought of him not being in this world anymore because he wouldn't just leave me like that. Lorenzo loved me and our baby too much to just leave us like this in the middle. Anthony has tried everything but there had been no messages from the Cosa Nostra. I caressed my protruding belly, wishing long healthy life for the father of my unborn child. I have healed perfectly but I don't know if I could say the same about Lorenzo. The doctor comes every week
♕—Delilah The next night, I said goodbye to my family.I dully said goodbye to my family; the staff laboriously helped me pack my bags and Aurora's as well. Giving up my royal title and my duties came along with this decision, my sole intention being to go be with him.I finally let go of all the trappings of being Princess Delilah, the luxurious clothing, the excessive adornments, and for the first time, I was going to be simply Delilah. I ventured out by myself. I didn't have a Plan B, or a safety cushion. I just had myself to rely on. Feeling a sense of relief, I took the plunge.Aurora and I said our goodbyes, mama was all teary-eyed but she managed to keep her emotions in check in front of the others. My brother still graciously let me use the royal jet, he was still taking care of our finances, and he even gave us a nice little house in the suburbs to help me get off to a good start in life. Everything was still incredibly convenient and comfortable for me.I breathed a sigh of
♕—Delilah I sighed, looking at the long line of people outside the club, "Okay, how do we get in?" Tonight it wasn't Joseph but Virginia who had accompanied me to the nightclub, Joseph volunteered to take care of Aurora while we were here. Virginia squinted nervously at the burly bouncers at the entrance, feeling intimidated by their imposing stature and the tattoos on their arms. It was clear that Nikolai Costello had chosen them to provide a secure atmosphere for his nightclub."Leave that to me..." Virginia purred, her eyes shimmering as she bent forwards, her fingers running through her hair in a way that was nothing short of alluring. Her dress had already clung to her curves, but she pulled it down, teasingly, allowing everyone to get a good view of her cleavage. She beckoned me with a finger to follow her and I followed, completely entranced. This is the second time we were coming to this club in a single night, the first time was a few hours ago when we both came to the cl
♕—Delilah The second I stepped out of the shadow, someone slammed me into the wall and gripped my neck, "What the fuck are you doing here?!"My eyes squeezed shut on their own accord, my heart drummed against my ribcage as if to fulfill a thousand beats. He jerked my body once more and I finally opened my eyes, looking into his green ones, "I asked you a fucking question!" I tried to remember his name, I thought hard about every single name that had left Lorenzo's lips, then I did. Scott. Scott Mancini. "Lorenzo..." I managed to say, "Where is he?" He gripped my neck harder, shoving me back into the wall even more, "What about him?" I glared into his eyes, if he thinks he can scare me then he has another thing coming his way, "Lorenzo, where is he?" "And what do you fucking want from him? What more could you possibly fucking take from him?" I took in his words, his tone. He sounded protective of him and the way he talked made me realize that Lorenzo must be here, he was aliv
♕—Delilah ╭───────────────╮ Unknown: Go home, Delilah. ╰───────────────╯I stared at the message for a few moments, blood boiling in my veins, if I didn't have my daughter in my arms I would have broken something. Or maybe turned the bed upside down. The nerve he has! I know I have made some mistakes—okay, a lot of mistakes but how the hell am I going to make it up to him if he doesn't give me a freaking chance. How am I going to make him believe that I truly and selflessly love him and I won't make those mistakes again? We have a baby girl now for god sake! And he doesn't even know about her! He doesn't even know about her because he won't talk to me and won't give me a chance to explain myself or give him the good news. So, I decided to reply to the unknown number. ╭───────────────╮ Me: Lorenzo?╰───────────────╯╭───────────────╮ Me: If it's you then please tell me I need to talk to you, it's important and you will never forgive yourself if you don't
♕—Delilah “You look like you’ve been crying,” Virginia said as she whipped up our breakfast. I had been crying.My tears had been flowing freely. My eyes were puffy and swollen; I was desperate to keep my emotions contained, but Lorenzo's rejection had unleashed them all. I could feel the pain and sorrow within me, begging to be expressed.I was overwhelmed with grief. Even the thought of eating was too painful, as it brought forth tears that were welling in my eyes."A lot," I just answered. "It looks like it's time to make a decision," she spoke, her voice stretched taut with tension. "Maybe it's time to let go, perhaps he doesn't care anymore."I remained motionless, my gaze fixed on Virginia, my thoughts in turmoil. "We could always call it a day... I'm tempted, so tempted, to do so. Although I swore to stand by him no matter what, he's making it almost impossible for me to keep that promise.""Did you speak to him?" she inquired, a hint of tension in her voice."That's right, j
♕—Delilah It was exhilarating, exciting, and fun. I glared at him, my gaze unwavering as I watched his arms tense up when he clutched the railing behind the glass.I was so frustrated with him that I couldn't help myself and gave him the middle finger. He's such an irritating jerk and yet somehow I still care for him so deeply that it breaks me apart. I love him so much that it physically hurts. I beamed with joy as I glanced at all the people around me, having the time of their lives. I saw them dancing, chatting, and sipping some drinks, and I couldn't help but join in the merriment. With my body liberated, I let my limbs loose, turning and swaying to the beats, and hopping up and down - determined to have a blast while also making Lorenzo angry, and he was getting madder with every passing second! It was the happiest I had been in years!"So, what's the plan, Virginia?" I asked, swirling around the dance floor while holding my drink. "Time to turn up the heat," she grinned, nudg
♞—Lorenzo I slammed Niko's door and strode inside, I threw the files onto his desk and faced the window, raking a frustrated hand through my hair. I just saw the woman I love getting eye-raped by every single pervert in the nightclub downstairs and it fucked me up. It fucked with my sanity, it fucked with my emotions, it fucked with my brain. I have no idea what she was trying to prove, coming here all dressed up like a fucking barbie and then getting felt up by random men. No... Not my problem...Delilah Regina is not my fucking problem anymore! Delilah Regina means nothing to me... Delilah Regina can... can fuck off! Or else she is only going to hurt herself! "What did I do?" Niko asked, eyeing the crumpled-up file. "Nothing!" I snapped, pacing back and forth in his office, I'm not going back out there, I'm not, or else I'll lose my shit. Niko laughed, he fucking laughed. I glanced at him, my eyebrows furrowed and my frown deepened, "What's so funny?" Niko waved his hand
