LILLIANA

A week later.

I had never felt spiritually closer to my mother than before. It was those little things that Ralph told me about her that made my heart flutter in joy.

Now I knew that her favorite flower was white lily because it often reminded her of her homeland—Italy; however, she equally loved the smell of rose. And even though she never really liked snowfall, she wouldn’t ever let go of a chance to spend time with Ralph even in the coldest of weather in Chicago.

My mother had the toughest life being married to an animal such as Dante, and while her death was as barbaric as one could imagine, I know she found her peace in the afterlife—if there was an afterlife.

“I know Sophia is smiling down on us now,” Ralph said to me the other day when I helped him to take a stroll outside the perimeter of Marco’s house.

It might have taken a day or two for me t

  • The Monster's Nemesis   Forty Nine (2)

    DOMINICHow many godforsaken times do I have to wait in the same corridor? For Stefan, for Viktor, for Sammy, for Lilliana...I’ve lost count. And now Marco. I wanted it to stop for once because I was tired.For the first time in my life, I was truly tired. If there was an option to leave it all behind, I would have chosen it.When I saw Lilliana, her eyes swollen, her face and clothes bloodied, it gutted me to the core. I knew it was an image that would haunt me for a long time to come.She sat beside Ralph, who held on to her hand like dear life. In a way, it was accurate. Lilliana was all Ralph had apart from Marco.Viktor and Mia rushed over to them. And as they conversed, Lilli

    DOMINICEvery fucking nerve in my body twitched at the sight of her. And I had to summon all my self-control and patience to suppress the urge to get up and kill her right now.I wouldn’t put a bullet between her eyes, I had already decided that. I would rather have my fingers wound around that tiny throat, make her pay for every breath, and relish her journey to hell.Sophia Bianco sat cross-legged in my living room, only a couple of metres away from me and smiling. Never have I been repelled by a woman as annoying as her.I was a fool to believe her casual talks under a drunken spell last night. I only remembered seeing her face, her whiny voice blabbering something about married life until a waiter brought another round of drinks that she shamelessly downed with me. What I couldn’

  • The Monster's Nemesis   Forty Eight

    LILLIANA“For god’s sake, shut the damn thing off!” Ralph hollered, stomping his way to pick up the remote and smashed it against the wall. I understood his rage, the seething burn, and the hapless state he found himself in, and I’d been around my father long enough now to recognize the signs.“Like that’s going to make everything disappear,” I whispered.Closing my eyes, I propped against the headboard. I needed a moment: a quiet, long moment with myself because at the end of the day, only I was going to save myself from this hell.“I am going to have a talk with Al. This has to disappear! Until then, if you want to leave Chicago—”My eyes flashed opened. “And run away with my tail between my legs?” I shook my head. “How honorable will

    DOMINIC“South Park Cemetery,” I told the driver as Christian hustled into the car with me.I was two hours late for Ben’s funeral, hung-over, and my phone buzzed for the hundredth time since I woke up with one hell of a headache. The moment it stopped buzzing, Christian’s phone lit up.“Don’t pick up,” I warned him.“It’s boss…” he hesitated, glancing the screen and my face. I know it already, dumbass.Snarling, I snatched the phone, switched it off, and tossed the device in his lap. “If he asks, tell him the battery ran out.”Just when I was about to pop the migraine pills, another phone rang out. It was the driver’s. Oh, for fuck’s sake! Surprisingly, he had more balls than Christian’s, o

    LILLIANAMy plan was to sleep flew right out of the window when I sat down with Aurora with a bottle of seventy-thousand-dollar Glenfiddich. Two hours later, I was more in awe of her than drunk until the news of the death of Ben Gordon dropped.It wasn’t until eight in the morning that I rolled off from the couch from where I had fallen asleep earlier and woke up with one hell of a hangover just one day before my wedding.Way to walk into the marital life, I thought.Groaning, I limped across the living room and towards the kitchen. Ralph was already half-way through his breakfast when he folded the newspaper, tossed it aside, and looked up.“Don’t. It is a long story,” I muttered before he could open his mouth. When one of the maids pla

  • The Monster's Nemesis   Forty Six

    LILLIANAIn every romantic movie or book, not that I read or seen too many, they would tell you about the happily ever after, not bothering to tread over the details of the wedding – like how horrible it was for the bride-to-be to change fifty gowns before she could choose the perfect one.Or how dreadful it was to twirl in an enormous dress, then have the stylish poke you in places you didn’t know you were ticklish or putting on a pair of heels crafted for torturing a woman.I probably have a fair idea now how the term ′bridezilla’ came to surface. Off the top of my head, I had so many homicidal thoughts that I could put Dexter to shame.Finally, I returned home after a tedious day of shopping with Anna and Noah. Anna, who was going to be my bridesmaid in two
