“Be Certain Lily, It wouldn't be that easy, baby.” 🙈
*Again, the italian language might not be correct🙈.**Vincenzo Ace.**A moment earlier.*“Ti sfido a.” “I dare you to.” I threatened, and instantly the whole room fell into a dark deep silence. Seeing how protective I was of her, he must have realized that I was on her side, which meant his mistake began when he asked her to bring his orders.He had come to me dripping with bravado and pride thinking he was doing me a favor, but once the game turned around, then it was always in the form of the weaker men stumbling by the outcome and losing their power.“Leave now, Lily.”Right at that moment, he knew he lost his value, which was his power, and it was time for him to bear the consequences of forcing Lily against her will to sit on his thigh.No. It wasn't about willingness. Lily also had no right, be it willingly or not, to be close to any man aside from me. A rule that can never be broken, not even by Di Benedetto who thinks a deal was worth it.That was one thing about ambitious m

*Vincenzo Ace.*What the heck was I doing?I'd lost a business deal because of her. Everything backfired and she suddenly became a threat to be used against me, yet, I was standing out here, waiting for her under the darkness of the chilly night ensuring her safety.Di Benedetto was a cunning man. He could be dumb, but when it comes to games of tricks, it was most likely his specialty. I had placed his beloved daughter as a threat before him, momentarily taking him off the picture, but It sure wouldn't be that easy, especially when he was so fortunate to see me showing emotions for the first time because of Lily.Despite having a threat around his neck, he could risk my words and still have his men sneaking around here, monitoring Lily's every move while waiting for the perfect moment to strike and use her as a threat against me.The only advantage he had in his whole life of being the leader of the Mortale Mafia, was that killing him would definitely be a huge step and a formal decla
At a moment like this, I always fall back to Selena who was always ready for me—who gives In to my demand whenever I needed it. I had put a call through to her a moment ago before driving over to her apartment. If she had a man in her apartment then she should kick him out before I get there.I didn't give a fuck who she was messing with, as long as she remained loyal whenever I needed her to be.I rang the doorbell of her apartment, and it didn't take her a second to fling the door open while grinning from ear to ear. She was obviously in anticipation of this moment—a moment when I return hopelessly to her bed.I reached for her lips, claiming them in mine. She didn't resist, she has never resisted as she returned the kiss with as much force as I had used, wrapping her hands around my neck while running her hands through my hair.I savored her lips hungrily, a craving I knew was meant for someone else. A replacement for my yearnings was the perfect example to explain whatever I was
*Lily's P.O.V*I took the risk—an unthinkable one. Life shouldn't be any harder than this:I was working for free, I had debts to pay, I had rent to pay, and I had my dad and a man he claims to be my soon-to-be husband to always run away from, and there was Vincenzo.The decision I made was unreasonable yet reasonable—worthless yet worth it. My salaries are gone, and my debts are still there. Every day, life keeps on getting naturally harder for me, and I couldn't think of the possibility of it getting any harder.At least, I'd managed to get him out of my life and that was all that mattered.However, he didn't fail to leave me with the shock that he knew all the routes that led to my apartment. I didn't have to give him directions, I mean, due to the high undeniable tension between us, I literally forgot to give him directions, and in the next few minutes, he had his car parked right in front of my apartment building, and that was when reality hit me.I didn't make a big deal out of
*Vincenzo Ace.*I threw the burnt-out cigarette on the ashtray, as I leaned into my office desk, my searing gaze roaming at the screen of my laptop before I slammed it shut.She's here, which means Lily will be here too. I knew the game she was about to play, and I was in for that game with her. If there was more reason why Selena had been alive up till this day, that reason should be now.Using her as a means to get the reaction I needed from Lily wasn't exactly what I should be doing with my life right now, especially when I had a busy schedule—countless deals to strike and different men who didn't work according to my wish, piled up for me to torture. Unfortunately, I had lost myself and my sanity the first day I set my eyes on Lily and I was admitting to it. It's not like I could hide it anymore. My obsession with Lily was getting me crazy—was making me do things I never would have imagined that I could do.The door crept open as she walked in, her eyes not leaving mine, her hips
*Lily's P.O.V.* I ought to have ignored them. This should have been a clear realization that he could have sex with just any girl and there was nothing special about me—that I was no different from those he would consider as a ‘fling.’ But no, my dumb brain couldn't access it that way and I hated myself for that. I hated how I couldn't get my eyes off them. I hated how I just couldn't pretend as though I didn't give a fuck who he was fucking—I hated the different mixed feelings that built in me, and no matter how I tried to ignore them and act fine, I just couldn't stop myself from acting stupid. No. I am not fine with it. Yet, under no circumstances should I let him see the aftermath of what his action had done to me. That is if he'd not seen them all already.Considering the fact that I was here to serve drinks when he clearly had a bar in his office, I knew everything might be a setup and I should have gripped onto this as a reason to ignore them and not give them the satisfactio
*Vincenzo Ace.*“Do you need me to pour it on her too, so you lick it off?” I swear, that was all I fucking needed. That was the only confirmation I needed to clear off all doubts I had about the possibility of her getting jealous—to realize that she was down to her fucking breakpoint and could no longer accept it. I thought it was all in my head. I thought it was just me hoping that she'd get jealous, but seeing how she indeed got jealous, somehow, I felt a sense of achievement. I could almost see the sparkle in my eyes, my lips twitched as she stomped out neglecting Selena's command of asking her to return. The way she strides out speaks ‘of jealousy,’ and the way she bangs the door behind her as she storms out speaks more volumes of jealousy. No. If she thinks we could have a pure relationship of a boss and employee, then she was in for a shock. There was absolutely no way I would agree to that stupid boundary she was trying to set between us after seeing how cute she gets when
