Chapter 19 - Lilith

As we walk in I look around the room seeing everyone dressed in black. I look at the other girls in the room and they look me up and down before talking to each other.

"Riot, why didn't you say the color of the clothing wasnt optional?" I ask and he rolls his eyes.

"Your fine, Lilith." he says before he starts walking towards a group of men.

"De Luca." one of them says as we near them.

"Ivanov." Riot says before he turns towards another man and begins talking to him.

I look around to see stairs on either side of the room, leading to the second floor. We were standing in what looked like a giant front room, with a chandelier hanging over our heads. I turn around to see Anastasia and Rome standing shoulder to shoulder. I look forward again when I feel Riots arm tighten around my waist.

"She's not up for grabs." he says to the man.

"Of Course. We're here tonight to show your stability, after all." he says.

Riot glares at him before leading me to the stairs that go to the second floor, Anastasia and Rome following us. The second floor is lined with tables, almost every one full. We go to one of the last empty ones, and sit before the people who were downstairs start taking their seats.

Riot places his hand on my thigh as I bounce my leg. There were white flowers in a vase in the middle of the table, blocking me from fully seeing Anastasian and Rome. I let out a breath and Riot looks at me before brushing his thumb over my thigh.

I look at him and smile, before looking up when I realize someone is walking towards us. It's a girl, a very beautiful one. She has tan skin and brown hair that's pulled back into a sleek ponytail. She wears a dress that's shorter than mine and pushes up her cleavage.

Riot keeps his eyes on her face as she walks to us, stopping in front of us.

"Don! It's been forever since i've seen you, huh?" she asks.

"I guess." Riot says as he leans closer to me.

"And it's been even longer since we've-" she starts to say but Riot rolls his eyes.

"Shut up, Loren. Jealousy is such an ugly thing." he says.

"I was only being nice. After all, we used to fuck every so often." she says as she looks directly at me,

"And? Get over it." he says.

She scwols and looks back at me before sticking her hand out.

"Loren, third heir to the Mexican mafia's throne." she says and I shake her hand.

"Lilith, I love your dress." I say and she raises her eyebrow.

"Wish I could say the same." she says and I smile.

"You have very nice eyes, Loren. You'll have to teach me how to outline mine like yours." I say and her face drops.

"Sure. If you'll excuse me." she says before her smile drops and she walks away.

"She's pretty." I say and Riot shakes his head.

"She's a stuck up cartel whore. You beat her by a long shot, don't worry." he says and I smile.

My attention was brought to a man who stands beside Loren, as he stands up and clears his throat.

"Now is the appropriate time to applaud Riot De Luca, for somehow getting to be more powerful than us all. Although he is the youngest, he has definitely made a word for himself, in multiple mafias. I hope one day he will choose to marry into one of our mafias, joining us together." he says and Riot glares at him.
