Chapter 3: Mission BL is Failing Miserably

Chapter 3: Mission BL is Failing Miserably

Lily wanted to scream. Not in fear—okay, maybe a little in fear—but mostly in frustration.

This was NOT how things were supposed to go! She had one goal: make sure Raphael and Gabriel ended up together, and somehow, she had managed to make them interested in her instead.

This is a BL novel, dammit! Not some reverse harem story!

She forced a laugh, stepping back—only to realize she was completely trapped between the two dangerously attractive mafia bosses.

"Ahaha, you guys are so funny!" she said, clapping her hands like an awkward seal. "But let’s not joke around, okay? We all know the real love story here."

Gabriel arched a brow. "Do we?"

Lily nodded aggressively. "Yes! You and Raphael! You’re soulmates! Destined to be together! Lovers meant to—"

Raphael cut her off with a sigh. "Vanessa, you really think that after everything we’ve been through, we’d still believe in fate?"

Lily opened her mouth, then closed it. Fair point.

Gabriel smirked. "Besides, aren’t you supposed to be obsessed with Raphael?"

Lily choked. "W-What? No! Absolutely not! I mean— I WAS. But that was before I found inner peace!"

Gabriel snickered. "Inner peace, huh? And what brought that on? Love? Maybe… forbidden love?"

"YES!" Lily blurted out before thinking. "I mean, NO!"

Gabriel looked at Raphael. "She’s not making any sense."

Raphael simply stared at her, his sharp gaze making her skin prickle. "She’s lying."

Lily's soul nearly left her body.

"Lying? M-Me?" She let out a weak laugh. "Why would I lie? I’m just a poor, innocent woman caught up in a tragic mafia love story!"

Raphael’s gaze darkened. "Exactly. And the only way to survive in this world…"

He leaned in, voice low, dangerous.

"…is to pick the right side."

Lily gulped. "And… what side is that?"

Gabriel grinned. "Ours, of course."

Lily's brain short-circuited.

No. No, no, no. I am NOT becoming the love interest of two insanely dangerous mafia bosses. I refuse. I REJECT THIS FATE.

But when Gabriel threw an arm around her shoulders, and Raphael’s intense gaze didn’t waver for a second, she had one terrible realization.

Mission: Get the Male Lead and His Boyfriend Together… is an absolute disaster.

Chapter 4: Help! The Mafia Boyfriends Are Malfunctioning!

Lily sat stiffly between the two most dangerous men in the city, feeling like a rabbit that had accidentally wandered into a den of wolves.

On her right, Raphael sat with his usual brooding expression, arms crossed, looking like a mafia boss straight out of an action movie. On her left, Gabriel lounged lazily, his sharp eyes filled with amusement as he twirled a knife between his fingers.

Why am I sitting between them?

Oh, right. Because Gabriel had dragged her onto the couch and declared, "She’s ours now," like she was some lost puppy they had decided to adopt.

Lily was not a lost puppy.

She was a woman on a mission. A mission that was failing spectacularly.

"So, Vanessa," Gabriel drawled, breaking the silence. "Tell me. If you’re not trying to sabotage us anymore… what are you trying to do?"

Lily stiffened. "W-What do you mean?"

Raphael’s sharp gaze locked onto her. "You’ve suddenly stopped interfering in our relationship. You’re acting suspiciously nice. And now, you’re pushing us together."

Gabriel smirked. "If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were trying to set us up."

Lily’s soul left her body.

They know. THEY KNOW.

She forced a nervous laugh. "W-What? No! That’s ridiculous! Why would I do that? Haha! I mean, who does that? Not me!"

Gabriel flicked his knife into the air and caught it effortlessly. "You’re a terrible liar, princess."

Lily’s eye twitched. Princess?

Raphael leaned forward, his piercing gaze making her feel like a criminal on trial. "Tell us the truth, Vanessa. What exactly are you trying to do?"

Lily was sweating.

She had two options:

Continue lying and risk these two terrifying men actually suspecting something.

Tell the truth and hope they don’t think she’s insane.

She took a deep breath.

"You really wanna know?" she asked.

Both men nodded.

Lily clenched her fists. "Fine. I’M TRYING TO MAKE YOU TWO FALL IN LOVE!"

Silence.

The kind of silence that made her wonder if she had just signed her death warrant.

Gabriel blinked. "…What?"

Raphael frowned. "Come again?"

Lily, now running purely on adrenaline, pointed at them. "You two are soulmates! You’re supposed to be together! I was supposed to be the jealous villainess trying to break you apart, but I refuse! I am now your number one supporter! So stop looking at me weird and just kiss already!"

More silence.

Then—

Gabriel let out a low chuckle. A very dangerous chuckle.

"You hear that, Raphael?" he mused. "She wants us to kiss."

Raphael’s lips curled into a smirk. "Interesting."

Lily suddenly felt like she had made a terrible mistake.

Gabriel leaned in, voice teasing. "And what if we want you instead?"

Lily choked on air.

Mission Failed. Restarting from last checkpoint.
