Alice is still on the floor as she holds herself up by her hands and knees. Blood drips from her nose and face onto the carpet. "You stupid bitch, my father will end you for this!"
"Though I have been called worse I would prefer you call me by my name." She chides calmly before stepping forward, placing the heel of her stiletto over one of her hands before pushing down with her weight. A crunching sound comes from under her shoe as Alice screams out once again before using her other hand to try to push Marina off her. A pleased giggle escapes Marina's perfectly outlined lips. "Keep screaming, I love it when they do, it's like sensual music to my ears."
“You are a fucking phycopath!” Alice screeches out to her. Marina places a hand on her waist cocking her hip slightly.
“Oh honey you have no idea. A little game of cat and mouse is like foreplay to me.”
Shaking my head at her level of physcotic just like mine. Knowing she will take care of what I need and having gotten some satisfaction from watching part of the show, I turn to leave before looking back and calling out. "Marina, don't kill her. Do what you see fit then I want her out of New York. I don't give a shit where she goes but I don't want her stepping foot back here or I will not hesitate to kill her myself. Please be sure my message is understood and see it through will you. I need to get home to check on Liliana."
Bracing her weight on her other foot she kicks out at Alice sending her falling over onto the floor. "My pleasure." I see her eyes gleam with excitement at her task before I step out the door closing it behind me. As I walk up the stairway to head home I hear more screams coming from the room.

LILIANA
The next couple weeks Nico hovers over my every move. He claims he is doing it to make sure I don’t need help while taking the medication the doctor gave me, but I can see it's more than that. I can still see a fraction of the fear lingering in his eyes like it was that night. Not wanting to let me out of his sight, afraid he might lose me. He spends most of his time with me and when he absolutely has to go out Daveon, Marina or Ciro are there watching over me.
I haven’t seen either of my two guards since that night I had run from them. I worry over what Nico may have done to them as punishment for losing me, but I haven’t dared ask him yet.
After two weeks of constantly obsessing and watching over me, the doctor is here as he checks me once again. I am sitting on the couch with Nico hovering above as I am having my vitals checked for the fourth time since the incident. “Looks like everything is good. Her vitals and organs seem to be strong. Her blood count has returned back to normal. Her arm seems to be healing nicely too. I don’t think she needs to have another check up.” The doctor confirms what I have been telling Nico for a few days now.
“Well what if she starts to.-”
“Nico!” I groan interrupting him. I don’t miss the small smirk on the doctor's lips as he turns to busy himself with putting his tools back into his bag.
“Liliana,” Nico’s voice stern, “I won’t have something happen to you because we weren't sure you were fine.”
I dramatically roll my eyes, making sure he sees the whole thing through. “Nico I am fine. I promise. I am not a china doll, you don’t need to handle me like fragile glass.”
“Lil.”
“No don’t Lil me, I am fine. Enough with the check ups. Third time's a charm, but the fourth is just overkill. You're being ridiculous.”
The doctor takes that as his cue to leave as he lets himself out. I can see the clouds of darkness billowing in his eyes at my tone towards him. He draws in a deep breath trying to calm himself.
“Okay, fine. No more check ups.” He resigns before adding. “Unless you.-”
“No Nico, no more.” He huffs at my bossy tone.
“You know any other day I would bend you over this couch and fuck you for your disobediant tone and for telling me what to do.”
I stand up, placing my hands on the couch, careful to not put my weight on my hurt arm. Bent over with my ass to him, I turn my head back to look over my shoulder at him. “And what's stopping you?”
A low growl sounds from his throat as he clenches his fists. “Liliana.” He warns with a clenched jaw.
“I said I wasn’t fragile Nico.”
Taking a deep breath, he flexes his fingers, opening and closing his fists as he tries to control himself. "We can't, I won't risk losing control and hurting you right now." Spinning on his heels he turns and goes to his office slamming the door behind him to keep himself from doing just what I asked him to.
Groaning I fall face first into the couch before letting out a frustrated scream into the cushions.
This man is being insufferable.
I begin to make a point to taunt and tease Nico at every chance I get, knowing that at some point he will break. Feeling more comfortable about me doing better only makes him begin to spend more time away. Not only to get back to his duties he has been neglecting but to get away from me constantly trying to seduce him.
As I am sitting at the table with Daveon a ping from my phone catches my
