Lillian’s POV:

Soft, golden morning sunlight filtered through the bedroom's curtains. For a while, I lay there looking up at the ceiling.

It's been a week since Alex and I returned from Italy, and I have been seriously training since then with the help of Alex and his bodyguards.

My ribs and femur were aching from punching and spending too much time in the gym, but I feel myself getting stronger and more powerful as the day goes by.

I sensed kg in my movements, in the way I resisted Marcus's padded knife and stopped flinching when he corrected my movements.

I was advancing and making progress.

I rolled out of bed and stepped into the running shower. Steam curled around me, the water scalding at first, then cooling as it ran down my back. My hair was dark and heavy against my skin as I tipped my head to let it soak.

I tried to keep my mind still and block the noise in my head. The fear, the guilt and the never-ending cycle of what-ifs by closing my eyes.

  • The Mafia’s possession   Chapter 30

    Lillian’s POV:It was a rainy evening, and the car ride was a blur. The sun had already set, and everywhere was becoming dark. My heart skipped a beat when Alex’s hand moved through his jacket to his gun. His eyes were on the rare mirror as he silently watched the black SUV behind us. The driver accelerated at full speed, and the SUV eventually fell back and disappeared in the dark. Alex has made so many enemies that I am very sure he doesn't know which mafia boss is after his life. The thought of everything made my stomach numb, and I felt weak. I couldn't believe that I had been pulled into something I never thought existed. Mafia. We reached the estate after a while, and the iron gate opened. I was so exhausted that I could barely keep my eyes open. My legs were heavy as I dragged myself into the mansion. Alex didn't look at me. He didn't even speak. His focus was on the shadow around us, and he was busy sending signals to all of his bodyguards. I wanted to speak. To ask if

  • The Mafia’s possession   Chapter 29

    The house was silent, and the air was thick. Lillian twisted her door handle and swung the door open. She quickly closed the door once she got inside and sank to the floor. Her back was pressed against the door and her knees drawn to her chest. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed continuously. She mourned not just for her father but for how life had been unfair to her and her family these past years. And now a single confession had made her world crumble again. Her mind races with thoughts crashing against each other. For months, she had judged Alex and believed that he was the one behind her father’s death so that he would torment her and her family.She hated him for that and also for holding her captive. Diego was the man who killed her father. But the question she could not answer was why?What does my father have to do with all these men? All I knew was that he worked for Alex, and after he died, Alex demanded that all the money my father owed him must be paid. What exa

  • The Mafia’s possession   Chapter 28

    The room was quiet and bright. The morning sun reflected into her room. Lillian sank onto the floor, her back against the door, and her arms were wrapped around her knees. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed bitterly. Alex stood in the kitchen staring at the closed lid; his hand was clenched into a fist. Lillian's sobs made him feel some type of regret, but he kept reminding himself that it wasn't his fault. He had to do what he did to Diego. He was a betrayal and a threat. A man who had destroyed countless lives by embezzling a huge sum of money, including Lillian. He wanted to go to her room to have a word with her, but he knew it would be a waste of time. The fight wasn't over. He knew Diego’s bosses would come for revenge, so he had to be ten steps ahead. The road ahead would be paved with blood and secrets, so he has to stay vigilant.Their suitcases had been packed and stayed by the door while they both sat down for breakfast. Alex had completed his mission in Italy, s

  • The Mafia’s possession   Chapter 27

    Alex’s POV:The walk back to my room felt endless. Torture and killing were not new to me, but tonight it felt different. I felt guilty, as if I had done something wrong. Diego's screams replayed in my head, the way he coughed out blood and the pains in his eyes. The way he spoke about powers bigger than Vincenzo. In a normal situation, this should have given me satisfaction, but here I was with my chest carrying a huge burden and feeling regretful.And then there was Lillian.Her face lingered in my mind. Her quiet and pale face. She hadn't spoken to me; she wouldn't look at my face, nor did she beg me to stop. She had gone silent on me, and the silence is killing me. I opened the door to my room. It was very dark with a little reflection of moonlight. I sat on the edge of the bed with my elbow on my knee, dragging my hands down my face.For the first time in years, I felt remorseful.What have I become? My father wanted strength, and I wanted strength and power. Not this… this mo

  • The Mafia’s possession   Chapter 26

    The underground dungeon smelt of dust and rust. It was a huge basement with bulbs flickering every second. Diego was tied to a metal chair at the centre of the room with wrists heavily tied to the chair. Alex stood in front of him, giving him a cold and angry look. His eyes burnt with rage, and his jaw clenched. His men stood at the edges of the room and remained silent. Alex slowly squatted to reach Diego’s level. “Surprised to see yourself here?” he chuckled dryly. Diego lifted his face, lips swollen and one of his eyes nearly shut. He didn't even have the strength to speak. “Sai perché sei qui, Diego?” (in Italian)“Do you know why you're here, Diego?” Alex asked. "Non è sicuramente un tea party" (in Italian).“It’s definitely not a tea party,” Deigi replied. Alex’s fist hurriedly landed on Diego’s jaw, snapping his head to the side. He leaned close, his eyes burning with hate. “You think this is a joke? After assisting to assassinate my father and stealing from me,”Blood
