Lily“Hey , what you do-” My sentence got cut off with a gasp as Dante suddenly came closer with a swift moment, and now my back is touching against the wall. “Where were you?” He growled as his pulse beat a furious rhythm, that I can clearly feel and hear.He scanned me from head to toe trying to search for something, but nothing. I looked at him as if he was some alien crash-landed on earth. “I was in the bathroom.” I spoke slowly like I would speak to some child, he looked worried and it's the first time I saw him out of control. It was only when I spoke he looked towards the side noticing the bathroom sign marking the door. “Is everything alright? What happened? Are you ok?” I asked and his jaw tightened and he took a deep breath.“I thought something happened to you.” That's why he is so panicked and out of control, just because he thought something happened to me. “I am all fine ok. Nothing happened, someone spilled champagne on my dress. I was just trying to fix it.” I h
LilyCovered in sweat I took deep breaths, exhausted from my run.It was a sunny morning and I got up early , well more like I didn't sleep much at night so I decided to go for a walk. Which later turned into a run.After Dante dropped me off last night I wasn't able to sleep much the whole time he was in my mind like a stubborn bad thought, which no matter how hard you try, you just can't brush it off. Today is no day to overthink, but does my brain ever listen to me?No! Never, the whole fucking night my mind keep on recaping my time with Dante and especially the moments I should forget about. Brushing off the thoughts about him again I wiped off my sweat from the mini towel I was carrying around my neck. After the whole morning run thing I returned back to the house and saw Nick and Dari sitting in the living room.The maid saw me coming and brought me a cold glass of water which I took and went straight to the living room flopping on one of the single couches. I gulped down the
Mia“You can't run away from your responsibilities , from your fate , you can't change what's already decided from the moment you were born " The words my dad said earlier in the day echoed in my ears again.As I was packing my stuff in the middle of the night planning to run far away . I am not running away from my responsibility or fate , in fact till the day before yesterday my fate was not to be forced in some betrothal made by my grandpa with the world's most dangerous , cold and powerful man , I have ever seen in my life .Dante Romano , even the most powerful and richest people fear him. I once heard that his single stare is enough to leave you frozen at your place and send shivers down your spine. Well, I didn't believe them that much until I encountered him myself . When he looked dead in my pupils and said break the marriage arrangements and that he is not interested in any of this. I won't lie putting aside his charming and ridiculously handsome face with an even ridi
LilyThere are worse things than being stranded outside your college and getting scolded by your mother . For example , I would have been forced to apologise when I was not even wrong. Yeah that would have been the worst .But just because things could be worse didn't mean they didn't suck ." I won't listen to any of your bullshits this time , when are you going to act more like your sister huh?" my mom shouted nearly making me go deaf ." Mom, chill , we are in front of the college, relax , lily will you explain what happened , for you to get a serious warning on the first day of your college." and here comes Kiara , the ideal daughter of my parents and my elder sister ." It wasn't my fault mom , that boy was taunting me , I tried to ignore but then he crossed the line and started insulting my family so I just taught him a little lesson." I huffed tired of this bullshit . " Seriously , which little lesson includes a handprint on a cheek , swollen eye and a broken finger?" she excl
Lily“No , no I can't. What if someone finds out and catches our switch. I am already in trouble , what if you end up in my trouble too? No , no.” Mia shook her head continuously in disagreement.“At Least listen to me first no one will find out we will switch everything from our phones to clothes. You taught me how to be you and I will teach you how to be me and then after a month we will get back to our own life's.” I said as Mia looked at me in uncertainty “ Look, it's simple. I will cancel your marriage with Dante pretending to be you and you will act sweet and go through the month of detention period as a sweet girl at my home and college, both happy-happy." For a second Mia looked convinced but again she started shaking her head in disagreement. I dragged her in front of the mirror and told her to look at us.“ Just look at us, we look so similar no one will find out about it.” I said smiling through the mirror towards Mia.“Look carefully, there are more differences than w
Lily “What the heck, stop, no you didn't.” Mia clapped the hand on her mouth as she heard about what happened today .“ Yes , I did, he deserved it girl.” We both laughed as we talked about the hilarious faces of Mia's parents and Norah.“I told you about him, I don't know much about his behaviour but everyone says that he is always like this. It's either his way or you know, a straight ticket to hell.” I humped as she said .“But despite his jerk-like behaviour , you didn't tell me about how handsome and hot he is . He looked like a man straight out of some dark romance book.” “And what does that mean?” She looked at me with an unclear look of what I just said.“Oh yeah I forgot that unlike me you are also innocent from mind. Leave it , I can't explain what it means, it's just a feeling.” Soon after hanging up the call with Mia the house butler called me for dinner .I went downstairs and guess what I got lost , but it looks like even angels are helping me.“Ms. Mia, everyone is w
Dante Don't know if it was that she had enough of everyone's bullshit or was it something in Indian water which got Mia so bold .The side of Mia before running away was innocent , kind and so sweet I could throw up but. This side of her after she came back is very bold , sarcastic and sassy.It's been ages of someone being bold enough to actually talk back at me like she did. It was as stupid as it was admirable. I looked at her as she enjoyed her breakfast, totally ignoring me and our incomplete conversation. She must’ve felt me staring at her because she finally paused her eating and looked at me directly in my eyes. Was her eyes always this deep or did it also change with her personality.“I know I am beautiful, but it's rude to stare like that . Why not take a picture? It may last you longer.” She said with a smirk on mischievous face.“ Yeah just don't jerk off while looking at it.” she said as I loosen up my tie a little replying with.“What can you even do? No one can do an
Lily“Fuck that man, who needs him to cancel some betrothal or whatever.” I shouted in frustration as my taxi driver flinched at my sudden outburst.Clearing my throat I passed the driver an apologetic smile which he nodded as a response to. Taking a long breath for the hundredth time today. I got out of the taxi after paying, I entered the house only to find an old man probably in his seventies sitting on a couch talking to Mia's parents. Despite his age he looked like a pretty healthy man and had an authoritative persona of a typical family elder. “You are home Mia, come your grandfather is here to meet you.” mom said, grabbing my attention as she noticed me enter the house. Mr. Mancini Sr. Mia's grandfather. As per Mia, he is a strict person. They have only met once after she came back from living with her granny, that was also at a weekly family dinner that takes place every friday in Mancini's main house. I walked towards Mr. Mancini Sr. and bowed my head slightly to greet hi
