Chapter 11 Being faithful to one's lover
His actions were like that of a wild beast, causing her so much pain that she almost fainted.
Feeling his teeth against her back again, she hastily spoke, her tone pleading, '”Vincenzo, stop!... iIt hurts!”...'
She wasn't pleading for mercy, but rather struggling with her own body.
*Why**...* *was she torturing herself when he**...* *still enjoyed it?*
*Did he finally relent?*
Vincenzo stopped his actions, leaning down to her ear and coldly said, “'Then beg me. If you want me to stop then... to kiss me, Lilian.”'
Lilian mustered up her courage, closed her eyes, and kissed his cheek.
Her lips were quickly captured as Vincenzo's scorching kisses followed the curve of her body, deliberately provoking her, stealing her soul.
His large warm hands were not idle, skillfully igniting fire on her soft and slender figure.
His exceptional technique quickly made her feel the heat, and her body softened...
Only then did Vincenzo start moving, and Lilian was forced to cooperate, yet there was no pain, only a numbing sensation spreading throughout her body.
Like being intoxicated, her face blushed and she tightly closed her eyes, softly whimpering.
'Lilian” Lilian, open your eyes for me, look clearly at who I am,”' Vincenzo satisfiedly contentedly curled his lips.
Lilian hazily opened her eyes and weakly said, '”...Vincenzo. Hmm...”'
In matters of the bed, Vincenzo was like a mentor, with everything under his control, and she couldn't possibly resist him.
'Lilian” Lilian, if I can't conquer you within a month, by makinge you obediently submit to me, then I, Vincenzo, will have the same surname as yno longer be able to call myself the Mafia Kingou! Who can control the mob bosses, but not a woman?”' His voice was hoarse and sexy, but his gaze was dark and terrifying.
He wanted to possess this woman's heart.
*All the shame she had brought upon him, he wanted to retaliate in full! To completely obtain her, and then destroy all her arrogance, pride, and**... * *that laughable dignity of hers.*
Lilian weakly looked at him.
*, m**M**ak**e**ing* *her submit to him? Conquer her? Did he mean to possess her heart?*
She couldn't help but find it amusing that in her heart, this man was truly childish. Even if there was no William, she would never fall in love with him. Her heart could never be captured by him...
*A despicable, inhumane man. How could she possibly fall in love with him?*
But this time, Lilian wisely did not argue or curse at him.
Engaging in a war of words with such a beast would only bring harm upon herself.
Vincenzo lowered his head to continue kissing her, seizing everything from her.
After their lovemaking, Vincenzo got off the bed to change clothes, while Lilian lay on the bed like a rag doll.
Seeing him stand in front of the mirror in a perfectly tailored suit, she thought of a phrase: ‘a wolf in sheep's clothing.’
The sound of a message notification came from her phone, and Lilian laboriously crawled to the head of the bed to pick up her phone and read the message from her uncle, excitedly mentioning Coco."
ELA, and the Korean star, and Coco have both withdrawn their lawsuits.
"’Bang.’—"
A file bag was thrown onto the bed.
"With me protecting you, feel free to release these newsthis news." Vincenzo glanced at her, his eyes disdainful and cold. "Mistresses should stay in their place and be ready to accommodate me whenever I want. Don't Do not provoke me again."
After saying that, Vincenzo walked out of the room, leaving behind an atmosphere of lust and desire.
Silently, Lilian opened the file bag, revealing pictures of another popular celebrity involved in a scandalous affair. But for some reason, she had lost all interest...
She herself had become the biggest scandal.
William's gentle and beautiful face appeared in her mind, and her heart sank. Lilian wiped away the tears on her face and repeatedly told herself not to think about it...
Not to think about anything beautiful, so that she wouldn't feel embarrassed and inferior about her own existence.
*************************
Because of Vincenzo, Lilian was late for work again. Her uncle thought she deliberately went to chase after news about celebrity affairs, but so he didn't say a word of reprimand. Instead, he praised her in front of her colleagues.
Her uncle treated her like his own, there's nothing more to say.
When she was in junior high, her family fell apart and her parents mother passed away. Without her uncle's care, she didn't know what would have happened to her. SoSo, her gratitude was not misplaced, Lilian told herself.
"Wow, your looks... are no less than those top celebrities."
"Didn't they say the Spencer family is moving their headquarters to our city? Maybe we'll run into them."
"You're dreaming. Rich second generations like him either marry a female celebrity or enter a business alliance. How could you be get involved with him?"
...
The chattering voices of her female colleagues reached Lilian's ears. She casually glanced and saw them holding a financial magazine with a close-up photo of a young man in a suit on the cover.
*William.*
*So**So,* *the Spencer family moved their headquarters to **C C**the c**ity**.**,* *N**n**o wonder he appeared at XS Nightclub.*
*It had been nine years, he must have forgotten about her, right? It's better if he doesn't remember.**..*
The current her... is so dirty disgraceful that even she herself is ashamed.
Her uncle treated her like his own, there's nothing more to say.
When she was in junior high, her family fell apart and her parents passed away. Without her uncle's care, she didn't know what would have happened to her. So her gratitude was not misplaced, not at all, Lilian told herself.
"Wow, your looks... are no less than those top celebrities."

William.
So the Sp
encer family headquarters moved to City C, no wonder he appeared at XS Nightclub.
It's been nine years, he must have forgotten about her, right? It's better that he doesn't remember...
The current her... so disgraceful, even she herself should be ashamed.
Feeling restless and confused, Lilian couldn't find any thoughts when looking at the scandalous photos of the celebrity in the hotel room. She couldn't even utter a word until the evening when she reluctantly and slowly finished writing the manuscriptarticle.
Everyone at the magazine, including her uncle, had already left. Lilian was about to go home when her phone rang. The screen displayed Vincenzo's title contact name as "Tyrant".
"Hello, this is Lilian." Lilian answered the phone calmly.
"Where are you?" Vincenzo's voice, lacking any warmth, came through the phone. Before she could answer, he continued, "Come to my house."
After he finished speaking, he immediately hung up.
Listening to the "’beep-beep"’ sound from the phone, Lilian almost wanted to smash it.
In his eyes, she had no freedom, as if she was always on call, waiting for him to summon her at any time.
*Bastard!*
Cursing under her breath, Lilian hailed a taxi to Belle Harbor, feeling utterly exhausted.
"Miss Scott, Mr. Lombardi is having dinner," Maria, who worked at the European-style villa, opened the door for her and led her to the dining room.
Vincenzo was sitting elegantly at the dining table, not even glancing up. In a deep voice, he said, "Go make Baked Cod."
"..."
Lilian stood speechless at the brightly lit entrance of the dining room, wishing she could slap herself.
*Why did she even mention Baked Cod? The old man actually remembered.*
Seeing that she didn't move, Vincenzo raised his eyes coldly and looked at her, "Aren't you going?"
*Fine, she'll go.*
*He was her **unattainable **malcontent **boss. Did she really want to get slapped?*
Lilian put down her bag and turned to walk into the kitchen. The kitchen in the Lombardi family's villa was decoratedornamented with high-end decor, giving off an air of sophistication even in the act of cooking.
She washed her face with cold water, dispelling her exhaustion, and tied an apron around herself. Skillfully, she sliced open the fish and scraped off the scales, causing an stenchunpleasant smell of fish to cling to her before she even started baking. the fish...
Baked Cod was the dish she was best at, which William had taught her. She loved the sweet and sour taste of Baked Cod. William had specifically learned how to make it for her and taught her. At that time, no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't learn it. She hated the smell of fish and hated cooking...
But later, when she had nothing left, she became adept at everything, including gutting fish, let alone cooking fish.
‘"Bang-- ‘"
A set of keys was thrown onto the countertop next to her.
Lilian turned her head and saw Vincenzo standing at the kitchen door with his arms crossed, staring at her calmly and dominantly. His expression made it clear that no objections were allowed, "From now on, come over every evening."
