LILITH POVA WEEK LATERI believed it was weird that I hastily accepted my fate and situation of thing. Someone who had more brains than me would have wished to stay anywhere but near Giovanni.He was a criminal, maybe not literally, but he was involved in crime, and I was taking it lightly like it was an everyday thing.Again, I think I was taking it lightly because I could not know what was happening. I couldn't leave. Giovanni would surely scour the whole earth for me if I did due to his baby in me, and I didn't want to even guess what he was going to do if that were to be the case.The sound of the doorbell brought me out of my conversation with Casey.She had come to visit after learning I moved. Well, I wasn't the only one who moved. My mother and brother had agreed to come live with Giovanni.The penthouse was large enough to accommodate them, and I didn't think any of them had a choice because the threats were still out there. They could be used as bait to set me up, which wou

LILITH POVThe sound of laughter, music, and clinking glasses filled the air, creating a rich and heartfelt atmosphere as we entered the grand estate.This was my first time in a masquerade ball, and this might just be the best feeling I had ever experienced at a party.It was a surprise that Giovanni told me to prepare for tonight. Unlike before that, he had never made any move to tell me where we were going except it was essential to him; he had told me about this. They even gave me a rundown of the event and exactly what I'd be doing.The event was hosted by Marco De Santis, a wealthy and influential businessman with connections to the underworld. It was a charity gala to raise funds for a local children's hospital, but also an opportunity for him to showcase his wealth and influence, in my opinion.I could imagine what the guest list would be. As far as I was concerned, events like this were always filled with a who's who of high society, with politicians, business leaders, and ce

GIOVANNI’S POVSwirling the whiskey in the glass with me, I leaned back into my chair, my eyes shutting. It was only for a brief second as they snapped back open."That fucking bloody half breed son of a whore!" I downed the contents of the glass and forcefully dropped the glass on the table, but the force wasn't enough to make it break.Lancelot Russo. I hadn't thought of him to be involved in something like this. We had no personal issues. We were incredible, and sometimes I got information from him. But why the fuck would he want to hurt Lilith? I knew he hadn't come for me before he even said that; I was curious to know why he wanted Lilith.There were thousands of girls out there in the world he could literally pick from, but he still wanted my girl, knowing she was with me.I should have blown off his fucking head last night. I had restrained myself, not because he had told me to do so. It was because of her.He could have slit her throat if I had taken an action of my own will.

GIOVANNI POVAs I continued to drag Diamante out of sight, she yanked her hands away from mine."Stop," she muttered. "Just stop this.""I haven't even gotten started," I said. I scowled, looking at her up and down.She was different, but not in a good way. While we were together, I had always thought Diamante was a woman who liked perfection, and she barely let things out of place, not even her hair.I mean, each morning, I come awake and see her hair already done. Sometimes, I wondered if the hair was scattered in the first place. Even when I made sure it was, the next minute, it would almost look unrecognizable.This Diamante in front of me wasn't the perfect kind of Diamante I was used to. In fact, I wouldn't have known who it was if I hadn't seen the tattoo on her neck.Her hair was in a messy bun, a style I had never seen her in. Her face was void of makeup, and she didn't do her nails or her lashes, which was one of the things she cherished in her body, and she was wearing a si

LILITH POV"I'm home," I announced, kicking the door open with my leg and making way for Rowland to step in with the shopping bags in his hands. He was assisted by a maid, who followed him from behind.Walking towards the sofa, I sat heavily on it, letting out a low groan. The body aches. Even though my hands and arms were the ones that should be suffering due to what I had carried, my legs and even back decided to suffer along with it.I wished I could lie down in the living room and have a nap, but that wasn't the least of the things I desired to do right now. First and foremost, I needed to speak with Giovanni about Diamante.I needed to know what both of them had discussed. I hated being kept in the dark. I felt like I was the third wheel, and I was still stupid enough to have accepted to live with him.Maybe I was thinking too much. He had assured me it was nothing, but Diamante had made it seem like something they had spoken about was significant. Who was I supposed to believe?
