บททั้งหมดของ The Mafia’s possession: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Lillian’s POV:I sat in the SUV with Alex seated beside me. It was a cold and silent drive. My vision was still blurry, and all I could see were blurred neon lights from the streets. Liam’s words replayed in my mind. “She means nothing to me.” “Please don't shoot. I am expecting a child with my fiancé.”Those words made tears roll down my eyes, and I couldn't hold them back. I trusted Liam with everything in me, or maybe I was too blind to see that he never loved me.After a short while, we arrived at Alex’s mansion. I could see tonnes of bodyguards surrounding the compound compared to the men that were out guarding the compound when I left the house.It seems Alex had ordered more men to surround the house. I wondered if it could be because of my disappearance or his enemies' assassins. The car came to a halt. Alex hurriedly got out, and I followed from behind. I could feel his anger as he walked. He lit his cigarette, and smoke trailed behind him.The room felt very warm, but I ne

Alex’s POV: The penthouse was quiet and peaceful. I leaned on the wall, staring out at the glittering city of New York. I enjoyed the peace and stillness of the evening. But my mind wasn't on the penthouse alone. My mind was on Lillian. I couldn't get her face off my mind no matter how hard I tried. Her eyes. They weren't just beautiful; they were alive and full of life. I noticed how she stared at me while we were in the elevator. Those eyes were on me for a few seconds before she turned away, biting her lips. I sank onto the bed and ran my hand through my hair. The clock on the nightstand ticked 2:30am, but sleep was far from me.I thought about the way Lillian challenged me earlier. No woman had ever done that to me before. No man or woman dares speak back at me. They were always scared of my cold facial expression and intimidated by my cold demeanour. I'm always unapproachable, but Lilian still challenges me either way. It started with the little attitude she gives. The way

Lillian’s muscles screamed with every step that she took from yesterday’s shooting session. She thought she would be able to get enough rest, but she never knew this was just the beginning. Her mind had also been on her mother, her brother and Jessie. It had been weeks since she heard from them. Even though they are in the same city, it’s almost impossible to hear from them. Lillian and Alex walked through the private forest. The morning sun reflecting on the forest floor as she wondered what they are up to today. She turned to Alex. “What’s the task for today?” she asked. Alex smirked, “Hunting. "That's today's test," he said calmly, but his voice was full of authority. His piercing blue eyes scanned the whole forest. “Today you are hunting a bear alone,” he continued. “A bear?” Lillian asked. Her heart skipped a beat. “I have never hunted before.”She had just learnt how to shoot, and she wasn't even perfect yet, and now she's hunting a bear alone. Lillian's stomach twisted. Sh

The room was filled with silence and tension as Lillian screamed out her breath. Her hands gripped the edge of the bed, and her knuckles turned pale. Alex stood quietly with Marcus as the doctor helped stretch her ankle. His hands hovered around hers, hesitant as if he was unsure whether he should comfort her and keep his distance. The moment the doctor had finished checking out her ankle, Lillian's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Her gaze fell on Alex. His jaw was tightened, and his eyes moved away from hers. Lillian’s breath ceased as the doctor placed the stethoscope to her chest. She clenched her teeth trying to hold herself. Alex flinched. He stood by the door, his arms crossed, and he felt some type of guilt for leaving Lillian alone in the woods. “Hold still, Miss,” the doctor said. “It’s likely a strained muscle, possibly from the fall, but these drugs would help ease the pain. *****Lillian's eyes opened to the golden light of the morning reflecting through the silk

Lillian changed into a pair of sweatpants and a plain white shirt. The outfit was tidy enough for her trip since she didn't have much to pack. Just a few clothes that one of Alex’s maids had given her. The clothes could hardly fill her small luggage. Since she came here without anything. Even her clothes she left behind before moving here were still of no use. Holding her back in her hand, she walked out of the house into the sleek black SUV in the driveway. When she opened the car door, her gaze fell on Alex. He was already seated in the car. Always punctual, always reserved and always collected.She sat down and stared at the tinted windows, trying to ignore the tension between them. It was a silent ride to the airport. Alex also didn't speak. He didn't see the need to. After a few minutes, they arrived at the airport. The SUV pulled to a stop directly in front of the gleaming private jet. The morning sky was blue, and there was the roar of distant planes across the open field.
