Lily was busy gazing at the gleaming stars, lost in the hazy sky and struck by the beauty of the dark night, when she felt the door open behind her. Wrapping her arms round her body, she sighed, knowing who it would be. Her thought proved right when she felt warm arms wrap around her body. She felt a hard chest press her back, radiating heat which calmed her down even more. She was trying hard to control the tear that was threatening to escape her eye. Her heart felt heavy knowing her sister was lying like a lifeless body in a room and it was all because of her. Vincenzo turned her round slightly when he didn't feel her respond for some time. She immediately ducked her eyes to not meet his. She didn’t want to show her weak side to him. Vincenzo frowned at her sudden action and pulled her head up by her chin. He saw the slight teary eyes that were swirling with emotions. Regrets? His face immediately turned soft seeing her so vulnerable. Cupping her cheeks, he asked her what was bugg

"Where are you taking me?" Lily asked for the umpteenth time as Vincenzo continued dragging her to don't know where. Plus, her eyes were blind folded, so she couldn't make out where she was except for the fact they were somewhere in the open, since she did feel some wet grass grazing her feet through her slippers. "Like I said, it's a surprise!" Vincenzo continued, guiding her with her hand in his, not giving away the surprise just yet. He wanted everything to be perfect. "Yeah sure! I mean who barges into someone's bedroom early in the morning, not letting them brush or change, and drags them out in the open in nothing but a night gown and some fuzzy slippers? Not to forget, keeping them blind folded!" Lily exclaimed, getting curious as to what it was that Vincenzo was hiding from her. "Just wait for a few seconds! Please!" Vincenzo spoke in a soft voice that was only supposed to be heard by her. "Fine!" She grumbled before continuing to be dragged to don't know where. But then sh

Footsteps echoed in the dank warehouse as the man continued strolling down the familiar place. The same warehouse that once belonged to the Connor family was now their opponent's base. The same place where he betrayed his own family. The same place where he put his father in danger. The same place where he used to enter as if he owned it was not theirs anymore. The memories flooded in one after the other and only made Vincenzo's hand clench with anger. Only if he was not greedy for power, things wouldn't have been the way they are. Walking through the familiar aisle, he kicked open the door of the main room of the warehouse. Nothing was heard except the loud thud. The place was pin drop silent. "You can show your fucking self now," he spat, trying to control his anger. Three claps echoed as soon as he spoke those words. "Well, well, well. If it wasn't my dearest enemy. Good to see you finally," Vincenzo saw the same man he met at the girl’s reunion party and felt nothing but hatred

Vincenzo felt his blood boiling at the sight. He felt like killing the bastard at the exact moment. But then he wanted to give him a nice slow and painful death for all the chaos he had caused for them. On the other hand, Dante was worried. Just worried for Rose. Nothing should happen to her is all that mattered. He sure got really angry at the fact that she was there at such a crucial moment. But then he also had the slightest idea that it would have been her sister's doing. Rose once told him about how Lily always emotionally blackmails her into doing anything she wants. He really was just conflicted at the moment. He wanted to scream at Rose for listening to Lily. But at the same time, he just wanted her in his arms where he would be kissing the hell out of her. As a punishment, of course. He saw the dagger that was held close to the girls' necks, and started to dig in their skin. Lily stayed put. She had her eyes shut painfully tight. However, Ro

Dante sighed as he ran his hand through his hair. Since the past week, there has been something unsettled in his chest. Yes, it had been a week since Lucas was killed and the threat was over. But he could not get over the feeling. The probability of what the fucker Lucas was about to tell him. Although he didn't get the chance to finish his sentence because Lily happened to be there at the most unexpected moment, it doesn't take a genius to guess what Lucas was going to say. He just couldn't believe those words. He didn’t want to. They couldn't be true. He trusted his brother. Then why, why couldn’t he just let it go? Something in his mind kept nagging him that Lucas wouldn't have said such a thing without any reason. There was something behind it. Was Vincenzo really someone who could be trusted? He heard a soft knock and ordered the person to come in. The door opened to reveal Rose standing in a knee-length dress looking beautiful as ever. His lips twitched into a small smile but Ro
