Days had passed since Lillian’s ankle injury. Her ankle still throbbed faintly when she placed too much of her weight on it, even though the swelling had gone down.

She had been confined to a penthouse. A luxurious prison with skyline windows, which she calls it.

Lillian had not set her eyes on Alexander Nick once during the entire week. She was all alone with the housekeepers. She was given everything she needed. Expensive meals, a nice spa bath, movies and sitting in the garden. But she had

  • The Mafia’s possession   Chapter 49

    The club was filled with deep, rhythmic bass music that crawled under the skin before Lillian and Alex stepped in, but the moment they did, everything changed.It wasn't just the music or the blinking lights that painted the room with different colours. It was them. Lillian could feel all the eyes on them as she and Alex stepped into the building. Her heels clicked against the floor, and she straightened her posture. She lifted her chin, which made her look confident. She was wearing a short glittering white dress which revealed her curves and her legs. Beside her was Alex, who was dressed in a black suit with no tie; the top buttons of the shirt were undone, and his sleeves were slightly lifted with his hair styled to perfection. Alex’s shoulders were high as if he carried everyone in the room. Which didn't stop Lillian from noticing the way people became quiet and respected him. It was just like every other night. A few men nodded and whispered as they passed. Some ladies stare

    Lillian woke up in the morning next to Alex. She was so shocked, and her eyes widened. He lay down on his bare chest, which was huge and seductive. She stood up immediately, and he glanced at her.“What’s wrong?” he asked.She didn't say anything. She went into the bathroom to freshen up and distance herself from him.But she couldn't avoid him forever. They had breakfast together when he turned to her.“Pack your bags, were going to Mexico,”“I don't want to go. I can't keep living your life. I've got my own life to live”Alex turned to her, giving her a stern look. “Are you questioning me?”She stood up and was about to walk out on him when he quickly stood in front of her. She quickly moved back as he moved forward to her making her to lean on the wall. “I don't want to go anywhere. I need my freedom,”“You will have your freedom when I say so.Before she knew it, they were in the plane.She thought about Jessie and her little brother throughout the trip.They landed in Mexico and

    Dinner at Alex’s place is exactly what everyone would expect from a guy with too much money and so much drama.The restaurant was breathtaking with all the bulbs and chandeliers glowing. The waiters moved swiftly and quietly as they carried out their duties especially when the owner of the restaurant is hosting a private dinner.The restaurant was filled with people of high profile who make things happen. The likes of politicians and business men who spent the night trading secrets over expensive old wine. Lillian sat next to Alex looking incredibly hot in her dress, but she stayed still. Her hands were in her laps. She nodded politely with little fake smiles when spoken to. Alex on the other hand was losing his mind. He wasSupposed to be networking bit he couldn't stop staring at her. Every time she leaned forward or shifted in her seat, his eyes drifted. He hated himself for paying close attention to her. He was a man who was always in control and let the ladies trip for him but

    Lillian’s POV:I slept, and when I woke up in the morning, the bright rays of sunshine filtered through the light curtains, falling softly across my face. It's been a week since I last heard from Jessie. For some time, I just lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. It felt strange. too quiet. My body was rested, but my mind wasn’t. It never truly rested.The first thing I did was reach for my phone on the table. Jessie.I had been visiting, but I only spent time with Jake. She had not spoken to me, which made me very uncomfortable.I searched for her name, and my chest tightened. I had this sudden urge to hear her speak to me once more. We have been best friends since our first day in school when we were both 3 years old. 6:00 a.m.I exhaled slowly. It's too early to call Jessie. She would probably still be asleep and groan when anyone disturbs her sleep. I rolled out of bed and walked to the mirror with my bare feet. My face looked calm, but my eyes were still heavy. They felt em

    THE CONFESSIONThe word slipped out of Lilian’s mouth and fell into the room like a broken glass. Jessie looked at her in disbelief. Everywhere went silent immediately. They were seated beside each other facing the television. Lillian nodded her head, “Yes, Jessie. I kissed Alex.”Jessie froze.Not in a calm way. Her eyes widened in disbelief at first, then her lips parted as if she wanted to laugh it off. To say Lillian was joking, but she had always seen it coming. Jessie waited for Lillian to tell her it was a lie. But Lilian said nothing else. Her silence confirmed everything.Jessie stood up so fast from the chair, “You… what?” Jessie asked slowly.Lilian swallowed and inhaled deeply. “We kissed.”Jessie stared at her as if she were looking at a stranger. She couldn’t believe that Lillian would do such a thing so soon. "Wow," Jessie exclaimed. “Just wow, Lillian.”“It wasn’t planned,” Lilian rushed to speak up. “I didn’t go looking for it. It just happened."“Stop.” Jessie li

  • The Mafia’s possession   44… The confession

    Lillian’s POV:I stood in front of Jessie’s apartment door and pressed the doorbell. My chest felt tight, and my stomach growled. Coming here was supposed to calm me, but I still felt nervous as if Alex were here with me. I rang the doorbell again, and the door opened instantly. “Lillian!” Justin said, his face lighting up. Before I could say anything, he wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug. I laughed softly. “Hey, Justin,” I said, hugging him back. “I missed you so much.”“You were gone forever,” he said, pulling away and looking at me. I smiled. “Of course I did. I had work in Paris. And guess what? I brought something for you,” I said. That seemed to satisfy him, and he stepped aside and let me into the apartment. I could perceive the scent of spices and freshly cooked meat. “Lillian?” Jessie said as she walked out of the kitchen. I barely had time to respond before she appeared. She wiped her hands on the kitchen towel. “It's so good to see you,” she said, wrapping

    It was a silent ride from the airport to the hotel. Lillian sat quietly, pressing her forehead against the cool glass of the black Maybach as she stared at the Eiffel Tower. The view of Paris made her forget every pain that she had felt.She felt relieved and at peace.Alexander Nick sat like a sto

    Lillian waved at Jessie and Justin as the elevator door slid shut. Jessie stood frozen in the hallway; her heart was pounding hard enough to hurt. She leaned against the wall and let out a deep breath. It felt like Alex had taken the air with him; like the moment he walked out, something in the pen

    The penthouse dining room was way too fancy. It was all shiny, and the chandelier sparkled. Lillian felt very satisfied, not because of the meal alone but because she was certain that Jessie and Justin were living well.The sun came in through the huge window and made stripes on the floor where Jus

    It was a Saturday morning, and the sun rose softly, reflecting through the thin curtains of Lillian’s room. Everywhere was quiet, and the only noise was the sound of chirping birds and the faint hum of the air conditioner. Beside her door was a small packed suitcase, which reminded her of her trip
