Lillian was up before seven.

The mansion was quiet at that hour. The kitchen and the corridor were still. She made her own coffee standing at the counter in the bright morning light and thought about Jessie’s laugh on the phone yesterday and Justin’s voice cracking when he said her name.

She hurried with her coffee and strode into her bathroom to freshen up.

She showed up at the penthouse where Jessie and Justin stayed. Alex's bodyguard was with her.

  • The Mafia’s possession   Chapter 60

    Lillian got up early and dressed in a pair of blue gym wear and a pair of black sneakers. She headed downstairs for her morning training.Those morning training sessions she used to do so much now became a part of her lifestyle. Rick was already in the courtyard when she came down. She knew who he was. He was one of Alex’s bodyguards. Always quiet and calm. He was in his late thirties, with broad shoulders and a scar along his left jawline. He was wrapping his hands when she walked in.He glanced at her once and then returned to his wrapping.Marcus was standing by the far wall with his arms crossed. He looked at her when she entered and said, "Today you're with Rico."She looked at Rico."Alright," she said.She wrapped her own hands – she was faster now – rolled her shoulders twice, and moved to the centre of the mat. Rico finished his wraps and joined her. He stood across from her, and his expression was entirely professional, which somehow made it worse."Don't hold back," Mar

    Lillian was up before seven.The mansion was quiet at that hour. The kitchen and the corridor were still. She made her own coffee standing at the counter in the bright morning light and thought about Jessie’s laugh on the phone yesterday and Justin’s voice cracking when he said her name. She hurried with her coffee and strode into her bathroom to freshen up. She showed up at the penthouse where Jessie and Justin stayed. Alex's bodyguard was with her. She buzzed from the door, heard the intercom crackle, and then Jessie answered, still half-asleep. “Get up, Jessie, and come open the door. Jessie opened up, standing in the doorway in an oversized sweatshirt and mismatched socks. She looked at her for half a second and then pulled her in. They wrapped their arms around each other. "I'm sorry," Jessie said into her shoulder. "I was horrible to you. I was scared, and I took it out on you, and I'm sorry.""No, don't say that. You weren't horrible.""I was cold. Which from me is basic

    Lillian didn't move her hands, and Alex didn't move at all. The gym was warm and quiet, and Lillian’s hands were still on Alex’s chest. She was looking at his hand because looking at his face was something she had decided she couldn't do. He turned his hand over slowly until his palms were against hers and his fingers closed around her hand. Then he used his other hand to hold her chin and pull her towards him. Their eyes met. He closed the distance between them without urgency. He leaned in and pressed his lips against hers. She felt the warmth of his body and didn't pull away. She kissed him back with both hands on his chest, and the bag swung gently on its chain behind them. They stayed in the gym for a long time. They stayed in the gym for a long time.Not always kissing. Lillian had her back against the wall, and Alex sat beside her. “I became used to the gym at night because my father always thought that would make me stronger.” Alex chuckled. Lillian smiled. “Well, that

    The next morning, the first thing Lillian noticed was guards. She had learned their positions over months: the one by the east corridor, who tracked movement; the two at the main stairwell, who had a habit of stepping marginally into her path when she moved toward certain parts of the house. But they weren't doing that anymore. She is treated as if she now belongs in the house. In the kitchen, Mrs Steele turned from the counter when she walked in. “Miss Greg. What would you prefer this week? I'm putting the meal order in this morning. @Lillian looked at her surprised. “Excuse me?” "Preferences. Dietary, timing, anything that you would like me to account for," Mrs Steele said. She had her paper and pen ready as if they had been doing this often. “I… the same as usual. "It's fine,” Lillian smiled. “Of course,” Mrs Steele nodded and wrote something down. “Do you prefer tea or coffee in the mornings?”"Coffee.""Do you want it strong or...""Strong."Mrs Steele nodded her head and w

    The dot moved.Lillian was out of her chair before she finished thinking about it.“Get down," she shouted.She hit Alex sideways with both hands, and the shot came immediately. The sharp crack shook the air and took the dinner plate off the table. The candle went sideways, and the wine spread dark on the white cloth.Everything that was very loud instantly became silent. The rooftop erupted. Security came from every entrance at once. The stairwell door, the service access, and some corners she had no idea were there. Twenty men moved fast with efficiency. Voices in earpieces, calls being made and the perimeter sealed before she could fully view all that was on the ground. Alex held her since they were on the floor, and he slowly lifted her. His hand cupped her cheeks. “Are you alright?” he asked, scanning her from head to toe. “I’m fine and I can walk,” she said. They were in the stairwell for eleven minutes. She knew because she counted. Her mind needed something to do while t

    Chapter 55Lillian walked into her room to see a Louis Vuitton box sitting in the centre of her bed.She had come upstairs to freshen up and get some rest. Now she was looking at an orange-coloured box with brown trim and two velvet cases beside it. One long and flat, one small and square.She crossed to the bed and opened the smaller case first. They were small gold earrings. A gold necklace glittered under the light. She lifted the lid of the big box. It was a burgundy silk M dress folded in tissue. She held it up, wearing a smile on her face. She sat on the edge of the bed with it in her lap, staring at the golden heels lying beside the box. After she freshened up, she didn't do much; she applied foundation and mascara and lined her lips. Her hair was dry and brushed out. It fell on her shoulders. She put the earrings in and reached behind her neck to fasten the necklace. Then she stood in front of the mirror in the dress, staring at herself. It was seven o'clock.She went up

    No Mercy LeftIt was midnight in the mansion. They no longer stayed at the hotel. Alex had ordered everyone to his mansion in Paris. A private mansion far from a residential area. The underground basement was dark and silent. The walls were cold, and the lights were dim. There was a strong smell o

    Her breath hitched.He said it like a compliment, like something he was proud of.And somehow, that made it worse and better at the same time.“They’ll underestimate you, thinking you're soft,” he continued. “Good. Use it.”Lillian looked at him. This man trained her like she was a soldier. Who dre

    The makeup artist studied Lillian with narrowed eyes. “Close your eyes for me,” she murmured.Lillian did as she was instructed. Soft bristles swept over her eyelids and cheekbones. Each stroke adding bronzer on her skin. Her cheekbones sharpened, and her lips were bold. Tonight wasn’t about beau

    Lillian stepped out, her beige trench coat dancing behind her. The sun reflected over the sleek jet waiting before her. The kind of sight that felt like a big dream. Just a few months ago, she was pleading for mercy from Alexander, fighting back tears and exhaustion. Now she was boarding his priva
