LOGIN“I need your protection!” Lily was desperate and alone after escaping from home. Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run, she found herself in the lion's den. Begging the one man she should have avoided for help. Vincenzo. A man surrounded by darkness, secrets, death, and despair. A man who had nothing but Lust in his eyes whenever he looked at her. “But what do I get?” Lily knew his claws were closing in on her as she heard him speak, but was she willing to pay his lustful price? ******** She wasn't looking for trouble In New York when she ran away from home. She never thought that one day, she will have to work as a waitress in the club of the most feared man in New York. Vincenzo. Despite having so many clubs, Lily knew her bad luck had driven her to apply at that one club Vincenzo had his office at. But since they said Vincenzo wasn't the type to be interested in the affairs of his workers, she thought, maybe, she wouldn't get noticed by the devil. But what if he was the first to notice her? What if she happens to be the perfect example of the kind of girl he wanted to claim, so he placed an offer before her? An offer she swore never to give in to—an offer that reminded her of her trauma. But with her surrounding situation, she was left with one question. “Does she have a choice?”
View More*Lily's P. O. V.*I have been here, in Vincenzo's house for the past two days. The cook and her daughter have been my only companion. We've been discussing and talking about a lot of things but whenever I bring up the questions about Vincenzo's past, then there's always an awkward laugh coming from her with the same reply,“It will be best if he decides to let you know, himself.”I was curious about his past. What exactly had made him ruthless? I mean, everyone is not born to be ruthless but grows up to be, due to some reasons. But then, I knew, no matter how he joked with me, we were not close enough for me to suddenly bring up the question about his past. And besides I haven't set my eyes on Vincenzo for the past two days.It makes me wonder about the number of people that must have died in those two days.I definitely shouldn't be thinking about him, especially when I'd just received a call earlier from the landlady reminding me of my deadline to pack out.I have no place to go to
*Vincenzo Ace.*I stood right in front of her, and asked, yet again, “I asked. What are you, Selena?”She rolled her eyes and replied, sarcastically, “Selena: the girl you've been fucking. The daughter of a drug addict you've been going about searching for.”I gritted my teeth as my finger rolled up into a ball on their own accord.“You have no right whatsoever to speak in such a manner in your state. So, shut the fuck up and only speak what I need you to.”“What other response do you want from me? What hasn't that bastard said to you already.” She bellowed, her gaze darkening with fury.I should be the one mad at her—I should be the one yelling in her face, still, she held no regret whatsoever for her actions and acted like I was the reason for her misfortunes.An entirely different person—different from the submissive Selena I have always known was right in front of me. Her switching-up character still baffles me.“You killed him, right? You had the guts to pull your fucking trigger
*Lily's P.O.V.*“Good Morning Ma’am.” I walked into the kitchen, my eyes roaming about in its luxury before settling down to meet a pair of brown bright eyes smiling up at me. She could be in her early forties, yet she looked gorgeous with a few wrinkles on her face.“Good Morning, Angel. How are you feeling today?”Angel? That sounded more like what Vincenzo would call me. It reminds me of him, unnecessarily, so, I'd prefer to be called by my name instead.“I am Lily.”I smiled genuinely at her. She studied me for a while before blinking in confusion.“Lily? He told me your name was Angel.”I chuckled in astonishment.What? Not only does he call me Angel, but he has also officially declared it my name to other people now or what?“I will prefer to be called Lily instead.”She nodded, and her smile grew as she spoke, “That's not a problem. But you should know—” She leaned forward and I leaned in. She talked so slowly, emphasizing each and every one of her words.“He said you were an a
*Vincenzo Ace.*It was all for a competition, but she seems to hold a special hate in her heart for me.“Now, tell me—” I pulled a chair to sit right in front of Selena, “What are you?”She didn't show any indication that she had acknowledged my words. Her eyes roamed about, looking at anything else but not me.I see. She had decided that it was the best choice to handle the situation with arrogance and pride, thinking she could appear unshaken and confident.She knew perfectly since she had dwelt in the game of the kind of world I lived in. Showing fear was a great advantage to your enemies. Showing fear meant weakness.I nodded at her shielding act before turning to meet the cold eyes of my men. Hence, I instructed. “Over there—” I motioned towards the iron pipe. It has both sides stuck to the floor and one crossed over it.“I need you to tie her up there, using her hair.”Suddenly, her eyes sprout up to look at me. Her nose flared in storming rage, “What do you mean?”Regardless o
*Vincenzo Ace.*Eye contact needed to be avoided so I could stay sane enough to blurt out my next words with as much cruelty as I could.“I thought you were a little smarter. That's where you get it wrong, Lily. Someone like me is not meant to be trusted. You can only depend on yourself in this world—
Vincenzo's P.O.V“Can I have my lady?” I spoke in a low tone.Selena scoffed before taking a step forward, “Long time no see, Vincenzo.” She said her voice sounded rough and raspy.I nodded and gave her a little smirk, “I never expected to meet you—” I rolled my eyes in a circular gesture before speaki
*Lily's P.O.V.*Getting entangled with those who lived in cruelty was a terrible circumstance. My chest heaves like my next breath would be my last—probably it would.I couldn't fight. Like a pawn in the game of power, I was nothing— absolutely nothing compared to those who wanted to show off how powe
Lily's P.O.V“Didn't you notice? The number of deaths here seems to have gone down drastically.” Elena said, and once Kylie saw me approaching, she scoffed and replied, sarcastically.“That's because an angel is here to save us.”I shook my head mentally, as I walked over to the bar, grabbing a glass o
