Chapter 2: Mafia Bosses Are Too Flirty
Lily sat frozen in place as Raphael and Gabriel continued to stare at her. Their gazes were intense—too intense. She could feel the sweat forming on her back.
Stay calm, Lily. You’re in a BL novel. They are in love with each other. You are just a side character. A villainess who is supposed to mess up their romance. BUT YOU WON’T.
She cleared her throat and gave them her best innocent smile. "So, um… what brings you two lovely gentlemen here today?"
Gabriel smirked and leaned against the wall, arms crossed. "Lovely gentlemen? That’s new. Usually, you scream at Raphael and throw expensive vases at me."
Lily gulped. Right. Vanessa was supposed to be a crazy jealous woman. Not good.
Raphael narrowed his eyes. "Are you feeling sick?" He took a step forward, towering over her. "You're acting… different."
Crap. Think, Lily, think!
"Oh, you know," she said, waving a hand. "Self-improvement! Therapy! Yoga! I’ve decided to stop being a toxic ex-fiancée and become a peaceful, enlightened woman. Inner peace and all that."
Gabriel let out a low whistle. "Wow. So last week, you tried to sabotage our business, and now you're meditating? Impressive character development."
Lily laughed nervously. "Yep! Totally reformed. No more evil schemes. In fact, I fully support your relationship! Love is love, after all!"
Silence.
The two mafia bosses just stared at her.
And then, to her absolute horror, Gabriel grinned.
"That’s cute," he said, tilting his head. "But I don’t believe you."
Lily’s smile twitched. "Excuse me?"
Raphael, ever the silent and brooding one, suddenly leaned in closer. Too close. His expensive cologne mixed with the faint scent of gunpowder. "You’ve been trying to separate us for months, Vanessa. And now, you’re acting like an angel?" His voice was low, suspicious.
Lily swallowed hard. "W-Well, people change?"
Gabriel chuckled. "Or… maybe you’ve finally realized something."
"R-Realized what?"
Gabriel took a step forward, trapping her between him and Raphael. His dark eyes sparkled with amusement. "That we’re more interesting than you thought."
Lily’s brain shut down.
Wait. WAIT. This isn’t how the story is supposed to go. THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO LOVE EACH OTHER, NOT—
Her thoughts were cut off when Raphael suddenly reached out and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"Be careful, Vanessa," he murmured, voice deep and dangerous. "If you’re not playing games anymore… then what do you want?"
Lily’s heart was about to explode.
She wanted them to fall in love with each other. Not flirt with her! Not turn this into some weird love triangle!
But looking at their smirking faces, she had a terrifying realization.
Oh no. They’re BOTH falling for me.
