I am in my last year in college at NYU. Everything was running smoothly in my life. I have a great job in a small town. I major in Business and engineering also, and I have great taste in fashion and Music, and my name Lilly Kings I'm 19 years old plus am single.

Then my life turned upside down when I meet him. His name is Edward the hottest boy on our campus. He may look hot and attractive don't let his looks deceive you. Underneath those layers of skin is a ruthless, aggressive, and dangerous Person I ever laid my eyes on. He has slept with half the girls but on the campus already even some are pregnant for his babies.

Some girls have asked in out but he regretted them all. We have the same class, but we seat together sometimes expect in group work. His grades are outstanding which is shocking to me when he barely shows up in class.

Well, that is none of my business and he is totally out of my league. I really hate his guts and arrogance plus his rudeness towards other people it pisses me the hell off damn it.

( Edward POV)

I don't do a relationship or string attached can of love. It's not in my nature at all. Many girls have asked me out but I regretted them all. I've slept with half the girls on campus.

Some of them are sluts and hoes even gold-diggers, hell some of them are even pregnant for me. Hahaha, I really hate all of them; they only want me for my money or if I want to do it I called them on my speed dial. Yes, I know I sound like an asshole right now, but I don't have a damn either way.

Until I meet her, she was the most beautiful woman I ever lead my eyes on. The way she smiles, the way she walked, she have very gorgeous purple eyes ever, and I love her intelligence so much.

She's not like the other bitches at this campus. Because she knows how to carry herself with grace plus she is a very hard worker.

" No, I can't fall in love with her? I don't even know her name? " But I know we will meet again. For now, I'll pretend I am not attracted to her. I really want her number so badly. As she walked past me, she smelled like Japanese bloom that just bloomed in springtime. And she is the most smartest and amazing girl ever. " SO THIS HOW FIRST LOVE, AT FIRST SIGHT, FEELS LIKE!"

( Lilly POV)

I have a test that is coming up in less than a week now. So I decided to head the public library to study for a bit before heading to the café to work since I close today anyway. My parents have paid for my tuition fees for the next few months. Because I only have enough money to pay for my books and for food to eat.

My parents know I really like my independence and don't want their help besides I wanted to stand on my own two feet.

That's why I am working at a cafe close to my apartment, I am pretty pleased with myself because I am making my own money and I can pay for things I needed around my house without worrying about my parents.

As time passes by things around begin to change around her but she didn't mind at all. The cafe manager likes her because she works very hard and she's not a lazy person. Customers enjoy having her around. Today they have a lot of at the cafe, so things were running smoothly until the last customer left. I started feeling uneasy lastly; so I decided to call my parents to check how they are doing since I've never phoned them last week. I called my mom first it went to voicemail, then my dad also went to the voicemail. "What the heck is going on here! they answer their phones when I call them." I started being uneasy or wasn't paranoid I really don't know.

Can it be they are?.....that was ringing in my head. " Lilly calms down I said to myself. " I took a deep breath and I pulled myself together. I'll call mom and dad right after my shift is over.

Alright, my break time is over now. Better get back to work before the manager losses her temper. I went back to work with sadness in my eyes, I miss my parents already. My heart grew uneasy, worried, scared out of damn mind. I need to claim the **** down right now.

(Edward POV)

I reached my place at quarter past four because I was running some errands for my mom. My mother is a doctor who owns a hospital named Rosewood Clinic, my father passed away when I was very young. I am studying science and technology so that I have different things to fall back on besides my late father has a large brunch that expands to different states and centuries. My father was successful according to my mom. So I wanted to become like him, but more ruthless and I won't work those that are lazing about. I want people that can keep up with my paste, maybe a vice president will do. But who to appoint that position? Do I also need a sanctuary to informed me of my schedule? All those thoughts were running through my mind.

I rang my mom and told her am done with the errands. So I decided to go to the library and study for an hour or so before heading home.

(Lilly POV)

Finally, it was time for me to go home. Before I changed out of my work clothes my phone rang; I picked it up it was the hospital. My voice was shaking, H...H...Hello? "Are you Miss. Kings?" "yes, I am doctor." Dr. Um...It's Bryan Peterson. "Dr.Peterson what happened to my parents?" I am sorry to informed you but, your parents were killed in a car crash this afternoon.

When I heard that my heart nearly stop, blood rushes through my brain. I froze in fear, my face went pale so quickly.

Hello hello hello...."Miss. Kings are you still on?" Y...Y.Yes, I said with a shaky voice. Well, come by the hospital a.s.a.p.

I dressed up fast got into my car, and drove as fast as I can to the hospital. Tears rolling down my cheeks, whoever has done this my parents will pay dearly. I reached the hospital as soon as I stepped out of the car Dr. Peterson met me at the entrance, let's discuss this at my office. Tears rolling down my cheeks. We entered the office; he sat down at his chair. I also did as well. Miss Kings did the police people called you? " No Dr. Peterson. It wasn't long my shift was over. When the hospital called me to inform me what happened."

I advise you to call the police department and I tell them that someone killed your parents in a car accident.

I left Dr. Peterson's office with a heavy heart. " what will I do now?" My mind was racing all over the place. I need a second job I said.

I entered my car and signed heavily. I weep and weep, and weep. Tears keep coming to my face, Didn't stop anytime soon. Even tho I am rich, people don't know that. Even I have a worthy and outstanding family, we keep out selves hidden by dressing like others around us.

I know my parent's bank account number, just in case something happened to them.

I need to head to the library to study for my test tomorrow. I rush into my car and drove to the library just in time. As I got off my car my phone rang, it was my bestie Destiny. " Hey, girl! can't right now am at the library we chat tonight I hung up the phone."

As I entered the building I nearly trip over myself when I saw him. I couldn't but to stare at him, but he is out of my league that's one and he still a jerk. I took my seat far away from others so that I can study quietly.

Edward was So grossed in these books that he didn't notice Lilly passed him. " Damn I forgot my dictionary at home." so he got up from his seat, and went to the farthest part of the shelf so search for the dictionary. So I went to ask the Liberian who has it. The woman said a young lady took it already. So where can found her?

" she at the farthest side of the library."

Thank you, madam. Your welcome young man. He went to were the librarian told him to.

He froze in shock to see the girl he have a crush on at the library. But something was different about her? He observes her from afar and saw that she has been crying and she has not been eating at all. And that really bothers him a lot.

This is the first time that Edward is worry about any girl. This makes his heartache a little bit, He can't it because he has fallen for her really hard. Once more he tossed the thought aside. Excuse me? "May I borrow the dictionary to finish my assignment please?" Lilly answered and said, " okay."

He noticed his hands were shaking when he took the dictionary from her. He also blushed a little bit too. Why did I blush just now? " I need to stay away from this girl she's dooming my head in." If I get any closer to her my heart might stop.

Time passed by and it was time to close the library, the librarian gives students and other people time to round up on their reading or other things they were doing.

*Ring ring ring*.....i heard my phone ringing it was my uncle Ryan calling me. Hello Ryan how are you doing? " I am good Lilly I heard what happen to my kid brother and his wife." " How are you holding up sweety?" I answered uncle Ryan and said\, "I am thinking about selling our house? is too big for one person to live what do you think?"

I heard uncle Ryan sign and said, I think it is a good idea, Lilly. You can stay with me until you are through with college. "THANK YOU!" How about tonight's uncle Ryan I can put pack my things and call you later to pick me up.

"That's great Lilly I'll tell my wife you're coming to live with us until you finish college. " Thank you so much uncle, Ryan, your the best. The twins can't wait to see you, my dear, am so happy uncle; I'll see you in an hour. She hangs up and drove home as some as she reached the driveway tears escaped from her eyes she cried until she can't cry no more. The old habit begun to kick in little by little, she swings her car opened and entered the house went straight to her room. She called her bestie right away. Sorry, I couldn't answer your call. Li? what happened? " Destiny it ....it....it. it. my parents?" " What happened to them?" " They died in a car crash this afternoon." "WHAT?!" .......I am sorry girl to hear this. Destiny is moving in with my uncle Ryan tonight cause I can't live in this big mansion all myself. I am putting it up for sale. Li are you sure girl? yes, I am. it has too many memory of them. I will miss you Li? hahaha....dodon't worry Des I'll come and visit you when I have the chance okay. TTYL I hung the phone and started packing my things. I brought some boxes to back some things around the house that are tremendous, important to me, and rest can go for a yard sale. which I will hold this Saturday. I even drop by parents office building. their co-workers saw me and greeted me kindly. I am proud of parents because they appointed who take over for them if something ever happened to them. I packed my parent's belongings and everything that will matter to me. And the president and vice president were empty now. Their company is named King's branch hill General Hostel which extends to countries and states. My plan is to take over my parent's business to keep it running. The manger already informed about my Parent's WILL they left behind. I thank Mr. Jonas for giving things important information and also wished me luck on exams that are coming by very soon. I thanked Mr. Jonas and left. I loaded up my parent's things and shut the trunk and stared at the sky to clear my mind. Then I started to head to my uncle's house. Coffee was the only thing keeping me wake up and also my favorite song which is the shape of you and panty dropped/neighbor knows my name plus others.

Don't get me wrong I have a wild side and yes am a freak who enjoys watching nasty things and who loves animes plus other things. People thought am miss goody two shoes who cares about grades and shit. I don't care about those things plus I have a very short temper too. But I don't show my violent self cause my parents thought me how to control myself when others piss me the hell off. I jammed my music until I reached my destination. "Damn! " My uncle is on point." My uncle Ryan owns his own company. My father's younger brother is a Mafia leader. That's all I know about him. I am joking I knew my uncle's secret since I was 14 in middle school. Yes, it runs in my blood and veins. So I am not surprised at all, I respect my uncle Ryan and I love his wife Yuki and twins Quinn and Ronnie both identical twins but I can tell them apart. I reached the house and knocked at the door to my surprise I was Yuki who was grinning head to toe plus the twins also saw me. I missed you guys so much. Where is my uncle? he stepped out for a bit. Okay, I understand. I'll show you to your bedroom now. Thanks, Yuki, you welcome my dear. Let me leave you to unpack ur stuff. Then she left, the room is the same size as the one at my house. Now I feel like home.

It was after Seven when Yuki called me for dinner. Man can she cook, I told her to teach how to cook; so I won't be wasting my money all the time. We talked and laughed so I put the kids to bed. Then Uncle Ryan came in. He kissed his wife and finally hug me. I giggled a little bit cause my uncle is damn funny. Uncle? Yes, Lilly? Does my father know about your real job? No, he doesn't cause I have been lying to him all this year's cause that will put you in danger. My face was full of seriousness jokes aside.

Lilly why? Uncle Ryan, I knew you were a Mafia leader from the beginning since my middle school days and never spoken to my parents about your real job.

Her uncle Ryan and his wife were shocked plus speechless for some time, before responding. But at the same time proud of Lilly for not getting a law or her parents involved in this issue.

In all seriousness Uncle Ryan can you train me every morning before starting our day off. Hmm...hmm..is, not a bad idea all. I'll text the boys early Morning before heading to work.

I hugged my Uncle Ryan and thanked his wife for the lovely meal. And headed straight to my room; change to my nightgown. I laughed to myself as I lay on my bed and then fell asleep while thinking about my training and other things.

(Edward POV)

I can't believe this girl is dooming my head in. I am trying to forget about her, her big bright green eyes, her lips, smile, and laugh. I love everything about this girl, but the problem is that I don't know her name or where she lives. "DAMN IT!" I am hopeless in love with this mystery girl whom I shared half of the class with. Then my phone rang. " Hello? (Mom: hey son?) " Hey, mom how are you doing?" ( Mom: I am fine thank you. How is school?) " School is ...okay mom. (Mom: is something bothering you?) " Am okay mom please don't worry about me." ( Mom: alright Ed. Make sure you come home this holiday season.) " Alright, mom loves you." (Mom: love you too Ed.)

I hung up the phone and I started reading a book while laying down half an hour later I drifted off to sleep.

It was five-thirty when my alarm went off. It was finally here, I rushed out of bed took a shower and brushed my teeth. I was ready to kick asses.

Lilly? Yesss! Are you ready to head to the gym? Yes, sire. I rushed out of the room and met my uncle Ryan and crew. Now that we are here. I started off with some jumping jacks, stretches, and lifting weights. Well, it's not my first here anyway, Alright Lilly are you ready?

I nodded. Good, let test your self-defense, okay. Hey Lukas? Yes, sir? This what you would do?

Okay, sire.

Lilly yes Lukas are you ready? I nodded just remembered this I won't go easy on you cause your the bosses niece got that!

Who said you needed to in the first place.

I sensed this smiled from his face. Are you have some fun?

Alright, Let's do this!

I want a good sparring match. Got that! Said Uncle Ryan. Okay, begin.

Lukas tries to punch me I dodged it. Out of nowhere, he kicked me the side I fell down. He moved so fast I even know he was behind me.

****!

I won't be defeated this easily I grinding my teeth with frustration.

Giving up already said, Lukas. I am just getting warm up. I grin devilishly at my partner, and tossed him to the ground, I punched his face two or three times. Then he couched out blood, my uncle Ryan didn't stop our match, I and Lukas continued our match, I kicked him and use a secret move I learned from my dojo class.

Okay Lukas, enough. We both stop our spare match, I thanked Lukas for Sparing with me. He smiled and said you're strong, maybe surpass my uncle Ryan one day. Thanks, Lukas for your welcome.

Uncle Ryan, how did I do? He smiled at me and said, I did an amazing job. But My dear child who taught how to fight like that?

I told him everything without leaving any details out.

Oh, I see. ..am proud of you Lilly. It looks like you were having fun, you remind me of myself when I was young. I enjoyed fight so much that I got in deep shit with our parents. But your father my brother was stronger than me. I am glad our parents allowed us to defend our selves. Your dad was fearless among us, always protecting me and families all the time. He doesn't take shit from anyone who bad mouth us.

Let just your dad was a monster, people fear him. So I look up to him as a hero and friend; he was silly, smart, good-looking, fearless, and putting family first. He was an inspiration for us, So when decided to settle down and start a family of this own. I was helping when you enter the world. Your dad told me to take care of you and protect you if you needed it.

I listened to my uncle Ryan spoke about my father, tears roll down my cheeks. I cried for the first since their death, I held to this chest as wipe bitterly for them.

"That bastard will pay for what they did to my parents."

"They'll ALL PAY!"

But uncle Ryan did grandpa knew about it. Yeah, he did. He was the first MAFIA leader after all. But both I and your grandpa knew the rightful heir?

Yeah, your dad. But our father knew your dad wasn't interested in taking part in the family business. So I stepped up and run things ruthlessly.

You Lilly carry this family fire in your eyes. You have the Same monster look in Eyes as your father, but you work on techniques more.

Thanks, Uncle I will.

Are you taking your wife on a vacation for your anniversary? Yes, I am. I'll need someone to watch the boys for few days.

Don't worry that they're safe with me, go and enjoy your wife if you know what I mean? I smirk devilishly.

He laughed and said I will.

Are you ready to go home? Lilly? I nodded but am driving uncle no problem.

Ugh...what is it??

Some bastards are following us, uncle Ryan. Who TF is it.

Don't give rats but we'll are be going to lose them.

Lilly!. .. ...

I drove violently like a GTA gangster running from the cops.

I click my tongue irritation and drove more faster without crushing the car.

We lost them Uncle Ryan, good job Lilly.

Lilly? Yes, Uncle? ...... Who taught you how to drive like that?...

My father did. He knew that one day my life will be in danger. Without telling mama, we went to this favorite place he used to with you. Oh, I see, well being he did.

My brother is always hard working he never rests for a second. He always on a go all the time. But I see he changed a lot after having you. Well, this the first time my brother ever smiles or not working. It's also rare for him to show soft sides or weaknesses towards others.

Edward is still searching for Lilly. It's almost sundown still no trace of her, anywhere. He feeling a little frustrated and irritated at the same time. Half an hour later he went home pissed.

Why is a girl doing it to me? I can't sleep, eat, think straight, or do anything at this moment. What is a try with me?

Please, it can be....a...am in love with her right? No, it is. She bearly know me? And I bearly know her as well.

But I don't understand why my heart beats faster when she around or near me. We hardly say anything to each other. But the question is....."Why am I felling her?"

Maybe we'll meet again I said to myself.

Half an hour later I fell asleep.

On another side.....

Lilly was wipeout from training and fighting those piece of shit from earlier. " I guess I'll go to sleep now. I look for a job in the morning since the weekend is around the corner."

She Shoots her eyes and sleeps.

The following morning.

I woke up at 7:00 a.m in the morning, went to brush my teeth, bath fix my hair plus put on a plain shirt and a pair of jeans with black shoe hoop to my car and started searching for a job around the neighborhood.

Thankfully a found a cafe close to my school. Maybe getting a second job is not a bad idea at all.

I started walking around to see an opening, but I couldn't find any. Until I bumped into a woman who is in her early forty or thirty. Am so sorry madam I wasn't watching where I was going.

If I may ask? " are you okay?"

The lady answer and said, I need a house help who can clean and cook, etc cause I travel a lot and I won't time. I have a son who is about your age but he busies helping with our family company.

I replied and said that won't be a problem at all. Cause I can do all that.

Excuse Me, young lady, what's your name? Lilly Kings and my name is Rose Jones.

Nice to meet you, Mrs. Jones, likewise please call me Rose.

I chuckled a little bit and said okay. I'll call you and said when you can begin.

I nodded and got into my car and drove off.

Her face looks familiar somehow. I wonder who the son is. She mentioned her son goes to the same school as me. I wonder who?

Anyway, I finally made it home. I parked my car at the drive-thru and stepped out. And entered the house, welcome Lilly thanks Yuki. Oh yeah, have seen my uncle? No, my dear. Okay, Yuki is heading to my room to do catch up with my assignments.

She nodded and walked away.

Lilly opened up her laptop and went straight to her email. She saw all her assignments that her teachers send to her from the day she was absent until now.

I better get started on this assignment don't to want to fail this semester final. I can't afford to repeat a course, just want to pass and move on with life.

As Lilly continues to work on assignments, she heard a knock on her door? I wonder who is knocking?

"Lilly is your uncle Ryan can I come in?"

" Yeah come in an uncle. "

So how was your trip? Uncle Ryan?

It's was okay replied Uncle Ryan. Did anything happen?

My uncle tensed up and unease about a thing. I dropped my papers and close my laptop and face my uncle.

Uncle tell me what happened?

He took a deep breath for a short well before saying anything.

Someone placed a bounty of 5.8 million dollars on your head.

WHAT?!

Who did it, uncle?

Fucking bastard. Am frustrated at this moment, whoever did this will answer with me cutting off there head off their shoulder.

Lilly your bad habits are kicking in again.

Hahaha... Lilly chuckled.

Like father like daughter. Your truly a monster like your father the apple doesn't fall so hard from the tree.

Uncle thanks for telling me. Your welcome my dear study hard alright, okay. Oh yeah, I got a job today?

Woah really? Yes! So tomorrow morning I'll call the person who wants to hire me in the morning.

Alright, Lilly, I'll see you in the morning.

Good night uncle Ryan.

Night then left my room, back to my studies once more.

I turned and stared at the clock it's was 3: 30a.m, I need to rest being tried. But my uncle's words came back to me, Now I want to know who the fucking asswipe that places a bounty on my head.

And if I do?

They will pay with their life, I'll make sure of it.

The following morning

Lilly got up from the bed and did her normal routine. After that, she went straight to her room and took a shower and dress up looking smoking hot. She ate breakfast before stepping out of the house. Anyway nobody was at home.

I just hope that Edward isn't at his house today, she mumbled to herself.

She laughs nervously and continued to drive at Edward's house. But she has a confident plus strong sense of will.

( Edward POV)

Mom is always busy all the time because she's always busy with work. And she travels a lot, so am used to since I was in middle school. I lost dad when I was nine years old. Sometimes I miss my old man, But my family runs hung hospital. The hospital is my family legacy and I'll inherit it soon. But my mind keeps thinking about Lilly all the time. It really tightens heart, but I've fallen head over heel for her. But I still don't know where she is or where she lives.

Mom! When is the new help coming? " very soon my son." She will be here soon to be perfect. Wait for her?! Yes, son, she the same as you and attends the college as well. Can she cook, clean, and drive. Said Edward, yes son. Alright, mom. So when is she coming? She's on way here now.

Okay, mom, I'll be in my mom. Call me when she arrives. No problem eddy, and with that, he left.

Half an hour Lilly arrived at Mrs. Jone's house. The house helps welcomed her, please let me get the lady of the house. Lilly nodded her head, then the maid exited the door.

Mrs. Jones, the young lady is waiting for you in the diner room. Thank you, Emma, you leave now yes madam. Then Mrs. Jones left the study room to see Lilly. Oh, Lilly welcome to my house. Wow, Rose, you have a beautiful house Rose, thank you, Lilly.  So Rose was is your husband? Oh sorry, I didn't mean to pry.

well well well... I didn't know me. Playboy cares me this much?....hahaha... Sh....sh...shut. Maybe I should come to you and warm your bed for you said Lilly on sexy tone voice as she whispered it in his ears.

Edward stepped back and his face was red as tomatoes. She laughed and thanked him once more and disappeared into her room.

Anyway, he was glad she okay. Also glad she's working for them even if it's part-time. Maybe one day I'll confess my feels for her. He would do anyway to keep her by his side.

But little did he know was living with a mafia princess, who can kill without hesitation, a ruthless assassin who kills in cold blood. Because he in love with her, he asked one of the technical guys to do a background check on her.

I am glad that my acting skills paid off. Now off to the warehouse, yes uncle Ryan am on my over theirs.  20 minutes later she arrived at the place, she stepped out of her car, her uncle was waiting for her already.  Uncle Ryan, what is going on? Remember doses bastards that were chasing us?  They are the Diamond snakes.
