Liliana, turned around her voice trembling with desire, locks her gaze with Vance, and in a confident tone says, "Vance, I can't comprehend why you're so irresistibly drawn to me. I'm just an ordinary girl." Vance's voice, dripping with sensuality, responds, "Liliana, you have no idea the intoxicating power you possess over me. You ignite a fire within me, a burning desire to explore every inch of you. I crave to hear the sweet struggle of your silenced moans, and I long for you to be mine. But I'll wait patiently, until the day you want me as fervently as I want you, until you're consumed by love for me." Liliana, stunned into silence, her trembling lip betraying her hidden passion, locks eyes with Vance, and with a breathless whisper, she pleads, "Take me home."
As Vance watched Liliana, he couldn't help but smirk, knowing that he had stirred something deep within her. The ride back to Liliana's house was filled with an eerie silence. As they approached her home, she couldn't help but worry about how to break the news to her father. Upon arrival, Liliana's heart sank as she noticed an unfamiliar car in the driveway. Without hesitation, Vance stepped out of the car and accompanied her to the door, but to their horror, it was slightly ajar. As Liliana entered, a chilling scene unfolded before her eyes—a man stood over her father's lifeless body, a victim of one of her father's enemies.
Reacting swiftly, Vance pulled Liliana out of harm's way just as the other man brandished a pistol, intending to kill Vance. With the unexpected aid of Vance's bodyguards, chaos erupted into a bloodbath. Liliana, shaken and terrified, witnessed the tragic sight of her father lying motionless on the ground. Overwhelmed by grief, she ran to him and let out a scream of unimaginable pain.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Vance made a solemn promise to take care of Liliana. He covered her with a warm blanket and began packing up her room, preparing for her to move in with him. Through her heartbreak, Liliana managed to utter, "I knew he had enemies, but he assured me they would never find him." Vance's curiosity was piqued by this revelation. Why would her father lie to her when it was common knowledge where he lived, especially since Liliana was a prominent member of the mafia?
As Liliana curled up, her emerald eyes filled with tears, she whispered, "I have no family left." Vance, overcome with sadness, looked at her with unwavering determination. He knew that he had to seek revenge on the gang responsible for her father's murder, not only to honor his memory but also to protect Liliana from further harm.
As Vance observed Liliana, he realized that she would be safer under his protection, especially now that she had become the new mafia boss of her family following her father's tragic demise. However, Vance chose not to reveal this information to Liliana just yet, understanding that she was already going through a tremendous amount of pain. He could empathize with her deeply, as he had witnessed the murder of his own mother when he was a child, and knew firsthand the emotions and trauma she was experiencing.
In an effort to bring some comfort to Liliana, Vance came up with an idea. He decided to reach out to Maria, a close friend and confidante of Liliana's late father. Vance knew that Maria's presence would provide much-needed support and guidance during this difficult time. Maria arrived promptly, and as Liliana caught sight of her, she rushed into Maria's waiting arms. Maria held her tightly, gently running her fingers through Liliana's hair, assuring her that she didn't have to worry about a thing, that she would take care of everything.
After tucking Liliana back into bed, Maria and Vance retreated to the kitchen, where Vance shared every detail of the harrowing events that had unfolded. Maria's heart broke, knowing that her beloved friend had witnessed such horror. She expressed her condolences and offered any assistance she could provide. Maria even mentioned having some money saved up, but Vance quickly interrupted her, insisting that he would take care of all the expenses. He asked Maria to focus on taking care of Liliana and handling the reception and guest list for her father's funeral.
Understanding the urgency and sincerity in Vance's voice, Maria agreed wholeheartedly. Together, they formed a plan to ensure that Liliana would be protected and supported during this challenging time. Vance knew that he could rely on Maria's unwavering loyalty and strength, just as Liliana did. With their combined efforts, they were determined to seek justice for Liliana's father and heal the wounds that had been inflicted upon their family.
