Is she liar?

In the car with Nero, I wondered if I had made the right decision in leaving Lily alone. Maybe I should have gotten in the car with her and followed her wherever she was going. The fear that she was never going to speak to me again was greater than ever.“Don’t worry about her. I’m sure she’ll get home safe. I left her some bodyguards so she wouldn’t get into any trouble.”“I’m afraid our friendship is as good as done. I can’t pinpoint when everything started going wrong. I don’t know why things are like this.”Nero was driving, which meant he couldn’t hold me in his arms and reassure me that everything would make sense soon.“This is hard for you, I know. But she’s the one who threw your phone out of the window of her car and made sure the two of you had no bodyguards protecting you. Do you believe me now when I say something’s off?”“Nero—”“She went to the same places Dominic went. She must have been really good at hiding because Dom didn’t realize it. She was in all the places he

Ghosts and fakes

As Luca looked for information regarding Lily, I was spiraling. She had disappeared after I left her car. Dominic couldn’t get in touch with her, and she had lost Nero’s guards. She was seemingly very good at doing that, considering Nero’s guards were very good, and she had lost them twice.Nero wasn’t happy. He made sure to punish all of them. I didn’t ask what he did to all those bodyguards because I was scared he would say he murdered them, and I didn’t know how to feel about that.No one knew where she was. I tried to get in touch with her parents, and even went by to their house, hoping I would find Lily there. But they weren’t answering any of my calls, and their family home was empty.The house was listed for sale. It made Lily look worse, and I couldn’t comprehend anything that was taking place. It felt like my soul was being ripped from my body. I raked my brain for signs that Lily was never the person she claimed she was, but I couldn’t find any.She hated Lorenzo because sh

Come meet me

I lied to Nero so I could meet Lily. I said I wanted to go shopping to take my mind off things, and I convinced the attendant to help me sneak out the back. I took a train from there and then hired a car to take me to where we were meeting.It was in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of New York. I knew I should have been wary of the location with all the accusations surrounding Lily, but part of me believed I could trust her.I trusted that it was a misunderstanding and she was being framed. There was no way she had been a good actress for almost twenty years. Her family moved to New York when she was barely a teenager, and we had been inseparable since.There was no way she was that young and scheming with her parents. Someone had to have erased her parents from the system or something like that to make sure the frame job was perfect.I should have told Nero that I was meeting with her, but I knew no one would believe me when I said she had been framed. He had already decided sh

The kidnapping

When I came to, I was tied up, and I felt like my head was being split in two. I tried to open my eyes, but they felt heavy. When I finally managed to open them, I couldn’t see properly because my vision was very blurry.My senses slowly started to come together, and I realized I was tied up and in the air. We were on a plane, and I was cuffed to a seat. Viktor and Lily were speaking in Russian and laughing like long-lost friends.I didn’t even know she could speak Russian. How much more did I not know about her?“Sleeping beauty is awake,” Viktor said with a smile.I opened my mouth to give him a smart reply when I felt unimaginable pain in my jaw. I swirled my tongue around my mouth to figure out where the pain was coming from. I screamed in horror when I realized one of my molars was missing.Lily laughed in response.“I only took you out the other day because I wanted to know if Nero had a tracker on you. That’s why I threw away your phone and lost your bodyguards. I wanted to kno

In Russia

Ever since I whispered to Viktor that we would see if his plans went ahead, he didn’t take his eyes off me. He probably thought I was planning an escape, and he was getting ahead of it. I would give him credit for his effort.And he was right. While I believed Nero would find me, I had to prepare myself for anything. I wanted to try to escape on my own. I would die trying. Everything Viktor was planning for me was so much worse than death.I contemplated speaking to Lily, but ultimately decided against it. I didn’t want to address her when Viktor was present. I wanted to make sure she didn’t care about me even a little bit. She would regret ever meeting me if I detected even the tiniest soft spot she may have had for me.If I found out she felt sorry for me, even just a little, I would manipulate her and make her drop her guard. She would be my ticket out of the situation I was in. That was the least she owed me since she was the one who tricked me into it in the first place.My head

Why?

At least they kept me in a decent room. It had a fireplace, a comfortable bed, a window, a closet, and a bathroom. There was nothing in that room I could use to attack someone.There were np lamps, no bedside tables, no clothes in the closet, and the fireplace was modern. There was no way I was able to escape or do anything other than be in bed. What was the purpose of that?I would never be able to sleep knowing you planned to turn me into a prostitute. I didn’t want to end up like that, but there was also nothing that could be done. I planned to talk to Lily and hope she had something beating under her chest.When she brought me food that night, she was as alert as ever. She was going to sit down and watch me eat, so I took the opportunity to ask her some questions. I wanted to know what circumstances led her to be the one to contribute to most of my problems.“Why?” I asked.“Excuse me?” She asked as she raised an eyebrow at me. She was sitting comfortably on a chair opposite the b

Anger and resentment

Looking at Lily made me sick. She was eager to answer all my questions excitedly. I hated her so fucking much. She killed my parents because they were brave enough to expose her father for all the awful things he had done.Her father was the two-timing bastard, and my parents suffered for not being an accessory to that. Antonio Russo was his name. Nero told me all about him. He was not a good man. He had apparently driven his wife, Lily, and Luca’s mother to suicide.That was why she didn’t mention her mother in the story. I had learned a long time ago that knowledge was power, and I’d wanted to know everything Nero had to tell me. I was glad I did, because I would use my knowledge of her family to throw her off balance.But before that, I wanted to know everything she had done so that my anger for her would only rise. That would motivate me to kill her because I would. As she said, it was an eye for an eye.I wouldn’t allow her to get away with killing my parents, framing them as a t

A risky risk

That night, I was as miserable as ever. It was only a few hours left until I was supposed to be brutalized by Lily, Viktor, and their friends. I tried to open the window and see if I could run, but it was sealed shut.And even if it wasn’t, it was a long way down, and I would likely break something if I jumped. Not to mention Lily made sure I had no warm clothes. I wouldn’t get far outside before I died of hypothermia.I was in a silk red dress that Lily had given to me after she watched me shower to make sure I didn’t do anything dumb like drowning myself in the shower. Her words, not mine.As I would kill myself before I killed her. She was the one who deserved to die, and that’s what I believed. I didn’t believe I was the one who was supposed to die. I believed she was the one who was supposed to die.But she gave me a few ideas. I had a few hours to plan how I was going to make sure I escaped from the clutches of Viktor.As the hours passed, I started to lose hope. No one came to

No one to save you

I woke up in a hospital bed, but I couldn’t quite open my eyes because they were heavy. I knew I was in a hospital based on the scent of sterilization. I hated the smell of hospitals.They always reminded me of bad moments. Even though I couldn’t see anything, I could still hear people speaking. The voices sounded far away, and they weren’t very clear, but they were clear enough for me to make out what the people were saying.“Why would she do something like this? It feels like she wanted to die. I can’t believe she cut herself. Is she fucking crazy? Where the fuck were you anyway? You were supposed to make sure nothing happened to her.”“It all happened too fast. She struck when I least expected it. Plus, I think she did this on purpose so that she would be able to get out of the house and maximize her chances of escaping.”I heard the man who hadn’t been speaking before the woman snicker. “You think she would do something like that? She risked her life. If you had gotten in here t

Save myself

Lily didn’t take her eyes off me. No matter how much I tried to distract her, she wouldn’t listen to me. She’d told me to shut up more times than I could count and even threatened to sew my mouth shut.Too bad I had a big mouth that I couldn’t keep quiet. Plus, I knew it was probably the last time I would talk to her and get some closure. The next time I saw her, there would be nothing left to say.And I wouldn’t remain on that bed, waiting for Lily and Viktor to take me to hell. Within the hour, I was prepared to risk it all and escape. I didn’t almost die for nothing.“Why did you kill the same people who raised you?” I asked. “They may not have been your blood, but they took care of you.”“They didn’t do it willingly. They tried to take the money my father gave them and run when he died. They didn’t know that I was my father’s daughter. I was trained to fight, blackmail, and kill for as long as I knew what that was.”“My father left my godfather all the leverage needed to make sure
