All Chapters of Captured By Love : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Dante's POV I may have started to lose my edge. I couldn't tell where. But it was definitely prevalent. Somewhere in between my call with Diego I learnt that human beings were rats and the ones underneath me kept up their mucky behaviour by interacting more with dirt cheap traitors. With all the buzz going around the government and inside my own ranks, hearing about Diego's new findings made me hold my head with my palm. I was stressed but I definitely wouldn't show it.“So what are you trying to tell me Diego? More of your men —my men— started growing wings. Why inform me? Why not just clip them off yourself. I don't recall being a fairy godmother who granted you wishes.”“I know boss. Just that since your last visit, things have been working against us over here. There's been no word from the gang fights upstate. My guys can't find anything—”“If they can't find anything then they aren't working hard enough which equals to you.” I exhaled, refu

Lily's POV The ceiling looked a lot fancier than I would've expected. Someone would've called me crazy if they heard me thinking or talking like this. But I couldn't and honestly didn't know what else I could be doing. My arms still burned from all the scrubbing. My skin red underneath my clothing. I couldn't see it but I just knew it. Felt it. Time seemed to want to move quicker but something wasn't agreeing with it. Someone was out to make me process every single moment of this and I didn't appreciate the sentiment. I turned on my side, careful of my hand, the pain had numbed like the rest of my body but I still made sure. I clearly remembered the slice of the glass on my skin when I grabbed it. No clue what I had broken just to get the weapon. “I really thought I was going to die today.” The thought circled in my head.My heart thumped in my chest, I placed my free hand over it. Breathing deeply I distracted myself by foc

Lily's POV I couldn't sleep the whole damn night because of that man. Or the few nights afterwards. If the boys back at the restaurant heard me say those words out loud they'd holler and ask me not so guided questions. And I'd brush them off as I usually did but this was different. From the casual way he leaned on that desk to the conversation. Some parts of that night felt surreal. Why had he even bothered to do all those things? He almost felt human for a second there. I couldn't wrap my head around it. I let my fingers trace along the spines of books layered on the shelves. I glanced around. The place was practically empty. I wondered what a man like him used a library for when he was barely in it. Not that I was a book reader myself. I stopped a long while back. Jobs took over my days and sleep took over some nights.Pulling a random book off the shelves I walked out of the room, eyes skimming the pages for something engaging. I d

Lily’s POVA few seconds in that room and I was going to get choked alive. I never knew luxury could strangle. I would've had another thought process of I actually owned the wealth and wasn't held captive but the ones who did. Still a luxury nonetheless. I can't tell if this was an arc for growing thicker skin but the amount of things I had found positive in a day would rule me perfectly fine for a mental checkup. Like I said, the circumstances. I held another book—romance, because I couldn't be bothered to search other shelves. I walked through the game room once again and into the garden. I'd been coming here since Alessandro showed it to me. That would be two days ago now. I sat on a metal bench, underneath a huge fruit tree. The sun hitting specific parts of the grass between the gaps in the leaves above. I sat back kicking my feet up.“I'm afraid I'll get way too used to this life. It's so peaceful.” I muttered

Dante's POVThe serpent had grown wings. Victor freaking Di Angelo. The bastard was a fucking pain in my side. My neck. Hell, every fucking where. I sighed heavily massaging my temple. The bastard had been the one to gun down some of my men in Guerrero. And I was sure as hell going to repay the favour. But not yet. I had a feeling the regulators from the syndicate were lurking around the corner. Waiting for some useless attempt at a clamp down. They'd love to stamp over me.I shut my eyes in an attempt to calm my breath. “One of the guys we had look into it said they caught some of the serpents celebrating near the East side—their turf—about it.” Luca spoke. “It seemed like they were high on the rocks and let it slip.”“He should've let them slip, break a bone or two or all.” I replied. “What do we do now boss?” “Let me fucking think.” I groaned. Victor fucking Victor. He was playing a dangerous game, towin
