All Chapters of Bonds and Betrayal: Saved by the Mafia Brothers : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

As Lily stirred awake the next morning, the remnants of her dream still lingered in her mind like a fog. She couldn't shake the vivid images of the Beckham brothers from her thoughts, their faces haunting her even in the light of day.She couldn't help but feel a flush of embarrassment as she remembered the intimate moments she had shared with them in her dream. It was unlike anything she had ever experienced before, a whirlwind of passion and desire that left her breathless and wanting more.But as she lay there in bed, she couldn't deny the flutter of excitement that stirred in her stomach at the memory. There was something undeniably alluring about the Beckham brothers, something that drew her to them like a moth to a flame.She couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to be with them in real life, to experience their passion and their touch firsthand. The thought sent a shiver down her spine, a tantalizing mix of fear and desire that left her feeling strangely exhilarated.B

“Meet me at the Royal Hotel on 5th Avenue at 7 PM tonight, and I'll give it to you. Don’t worry about anything else—just focus on getting your mother the help she needs. See you tonight."Lily hung up the phone, her fingers lingering on the receiver for a moment as she stared blankly at the wall. Relief coursed through her, but it was tinged with a nagging apprehension. Luke had agreed to meet her, to give her what she needed to save her mother, but something about his voice had been... different. She couldn't quite place it, but it set her on edge. He had been distant for weeks, and this sudden eagerness to help didn’t quite add up. Still, she pushed the thought aside. She had bigger concerns—her mother’s health was deteriorating fast, and she had to act.Determination sparked in her eyes as she began to prepare for the evening. She meticulously laid out her clothes, choosing a simple black dress that was both practical and elegant. She needed to look calm, confident. She reminded he

Earlier...Nick was having a meeting at the lobby of the Royal Hotel when he saw Lily walk in.At first, he wasn’t sure if it was her. The fleeting glimpse he caught from across the crowded room left him in doubt. But then, as he observed her more closely, the unmistakable features began to confirm his suspicions. He couldn’t forget a face like hers, with those striking eyes and the way she carried herself. Nick wondered what she was doing here, in a place that seemed so out of context for her. She looked a bit disoriented, her eyes darting around as if searching for something familiar, and uncomfortable, as if the surroundings were pressing in on her.Nick made a mental note to go and check up on her after his meeting, which he hoped wouldn’t run too long. His curiosity was piqued, and a sense of concern nudged at him. He couldn’t shake the feeling that she might need some kind of assistance, and the thought of leaving her to navigate this unfamiliar environment alone didn’t sit well

Nick pulled the crying Lily out of the room, his demeanor shifting from the rage-fueled fury of moments before to something more controlled, though still intense. His jaw was set, eyes fixed ahead as he navigated the narrow hallway, but the harshness that had twisted his features minutes ago had softened slightly. He didn’t say a word as he scooped her up into his arms, carrying her as if she weighed nothing.Lily clung to him, her small fingers gripping his shirt with a desperation that spoke of her lingering terror. Her sobs quieted slightly as she buried her face in his chest, her tears soaking through the fabric. The rhythmic thud of Nick's heartbeat, strong and steady, was a stark contrast to the erratic pounding in her own chest. She could still feel the tremors of fear coursing through her body, each shiver a reminder of the chaos they had narrowly escaped, but there was a small measure of comfort in his embrace, despite everything that had happened.Nick carried her through th

When Lily woke up the next morning, the sun was streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm, golden glow over the penthouse bedroom. She blinked a few times, trying to gather her thoughts and remember where she was. As the events of the previous night came rushing back, she felt a mix of emotions; relief, gratitude, and a lingering sadness.She turned over in bed and saw that she was alone. A pang of disappointment hit her, but then her eyes caught sight of a neatly folded note on the bedside table. She reached out and picked it up, recognizing Nick’s handwriting immediately.“Sorry I had an emergency, I had to go. There are new clothes for you on the table. – Nick.”Lily sighed and smiled faintly, appreciating his thoughtfulness despite his abrupt departure. She slowly sat up, feeling the slight ache in her muscles from the night before, a reminder of the sour thing that happened to her last night. Lily dreads what might have become of her if Nick had not come to h
