Chapter 179 Argument Over Dinner

Chapter 179 Argument Over Dinner
Lila POV

If you stripped away the crime and the blood war, Draven was so beautiful that he was hard to look at. He could walk into any bar and have the attention of every single woman in the room not only was he a powerhouse, but he had unbelievably handsome features.

Those blue eyes were hard not to stare at.
Iwas a shame he chose this life exactly like Nico.

“What are you thinking?” He set his glass down, but his hand continued to rest on the hardwood table. His forearms were chiseled just like the rest of his body, the sections of muscle identified by grooves. His veins streaked across, bulging in comparison.

“What are you thinking?” I countered.

“You really want to know what goes on in this sick fucking mind?” The corner of his mouth rose in a smile, amused like always. “I’ve already experienced the worst of it.”

He took another drink. “Or the best.”

I refused to react, keeping the same stoic features. He wiped his mouth with the back of his forearm. “I was thinking about how beautiful you look like that…with that jet-black hair and olive skin. You don’t have a drop of makeup on, but your features are still pretty.

You’re stunning that I’m not sure if I can wait until after dinner to fuck you.” He finished the scotch in his glass then set it down with a loud
thud. “What were you thinking, Rose?”

“Stop calling me that.”

“I can call you whatever I want but now answer the question.”

Draven answer wasn’t as sick as he forecasted, and I was annoyed with myself for
actually appreciating his response. “I was thinking it’s a shame you’ve decided to live your life this way.”
“In what way?” he countered. “I live in a mansion and I own several more of them. I have a chief. I’m rich. I have......”

“Wealth isn’t everything. Living with Nico taught me that” I lived a life of luxury, but when I reflected on the happiest moments of my life, they had nothing to do with money. They were times when I found out I was pregnant and Nico was excited to be a father, when Nico chose me over his family. I'm close to tears now but this psycho has no empathy in his eyes rather he cocked his head slightly, his eyes narrowing. “Don’t interrupt me again.”

I wanted to fire back with something rude, but my gut told me to listen to him. “I’m not ashamed of what I do for a living and don't you dare compare me to that pussy whipped fool that chose a woman over his own family. Unfortunately for him, cowards cannot rule in the Moretti empire.”

“Nico is no coward, watch your mouth.”

“You won't raise your voice ever at me.” Without raising his voice, he increased the tension in the room and he turned hostile without a single movement, becoming silently
deadly. “Because I didn't lock you in a room and ensure you are naked just like Nico treated you, doesn't make me less dangerous.” He leaned over the table, his elbows resting on the wood. “You are really stupid to compare me with Nico?”

It didn’t matter how much he threatened me. I wouldn’t cave. So I answered honestly. “You are the same.”

Draven intense gaze remained, his blue eyes burning into mine. “Never underestimate what my silence for weakness.”

I was scared of Draven of course especially because he may have been the reason Nico is missing but confronting him will definitely make he respect me .

“You ask me not to judge you but you fuck me knowing I and Nico was together.”

“Like you didn’t want to fuck me.”

My eyes narrowed. “No, I.....”

“I made you come in less than two minutes. You enjoyed every fucking second of it, so let’s not rewrite history and paint you in a fictional light. I kissed you and you kissed me back. I fucked you in my bed and listened to you moan for me, felt your nails slice into my skin. I listened tonyour screams when my fat dick hit you in the right place. I may not be a good
man, but you’ll always have my honesty. I deserve the same from you.”

It was the first time a man shut me up. He didn’t tell me to be quiet, but his argument left me speechless. There was no way I could contradict any of those things, not when we both witnessed them. “Whether I wanted to fuck you or not, I want my freedom.”

“Freedom is a privilege, not a right.”

“Not according to the law.”

“In the underworld, there is no law. There are only rules.....my rules.”

I crossed my arms over my chest, my appetite suppressed now that this conversation took a deadly turn. I refused to give in to the fear, but I couldn’t deny how lethal this guy was. He didn’t kill me, but he was definitely temperamental. “When are you going to let me go?”

He grabbed the bottle and refilled his glass.

“I’ll let you leave the house in avfew days.” He worded it the same way as last time..and that was unsettling. “My boss will definitely call soon, if I keep skipping work.”

“She hasn’t yet.”

“You’re keeping an eye on my phone?”

“Yes.”

“Can I have it back?”

He laughed into his glass before he took a drink. Phillip entered the dining room with our entrees. Two steaks with roasted potatoes and asparagus.

He set the dishes in front of us, topped off my glass with wine, and then set a basket of bread on the table before he walked out.

Once the succulent food was placed in front of me, my appetite came back. I grabbed my fork and knife and dug in.

Draven watched me for a few seconds before he started eating. “What am I supposed to do for the next few days?”
