Everyday For The Thief: A Chaotic and Poetic Mafia Romance
“You,” Hades snarled, his eyes burning into Claudine’s, “are a viper in my bed. A ticking time bomb.”
Claudine’s lips curved into a chillingly beautiful smile. “Darling, in your bed, I’m whatever you desire.”

This isn’t your typical enemies-to-lovers romance. This is the story of the infamous daughter of the worlds greatest russian Kalashnikov Omerta,a woman driven by vengeance, who wanted the downfall of Hades Vancouver, the dangerous American mafia leader. Death was too merciful a punishment for the man who murdered her parents. But in a twist of fate, she’s caught in his grip and forced into marriage with him—the very man she swore to destroy.
To Hades, she’s not simply his wife. She’s a snake he’s obsessed with, a woman he wants to bend to his will and claim in every way imaginable. Her true identity is hidden from him, but he’s been obsessed since the first night he fingered her into a screaming, squirt-filled orgasm that felt like a soul-shifting experience. The same night she stole from him.
Now, trapped in a deadly game of forced proximity, where desire is both a weapon and a weakness, one wrong move could ignite a war that consumes them all. But when Hades discovers the tracker in her old gunshot wound, a relic of a past encounter, the game changes.
Read on to find out if things were falling out of place for these characters, or perhaps things were falling into the right places.

Chapter: Chapter 23“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray…” Claudine sang loudly, her voice echoing off the fancy bathroom tiles as she scrubbed her arm with a sponge.She swayed a little, lost in the simple tune.This was her second bath of the day, and it was only 4 PM. She’d just finished a workout in Hades’s huge gym.Afterward, instead of picking out her own clothes, she’d pulled on another one of his soft, expensive silk shirts and a pair of black sweatpants.It felt like a small, private rebellion, using his things, taking up space in his life. And it was weird. Weird that she even had a space in his giant wardrobe now.She’d spent a little time earlier, carefully arranging her new section, folding his shirts to make room for her handful of things.It felt like a strange step towards making this gilded cage her own. But the real reason she kept wearing his clothes was simpler: his scent. It clung to the fabric, earthy and warm, an addicting smell she found h

Chapter: Chapter 22 Hades instantly used his body to cover her, pushing her down. So he was right. It was a sniper.Who the hell dared to do this on his land? The gunshots were terrifying, too terrifying. But they didn’t last long. The bullets didn’t follow them inside. He was still holding Claudine tightly to him. She was panting hard, clutching onto him for dear life, still yelling, “What the hell?!”He tried to calm her, “Breathe, breathe. It’s over. It was just a scare.”Claudine yelled back, “That didn’t feel like a scare! That was definitely an attack on me!” Her mind started racing. What if the Italians had found out about what she did?She shouted another “Fuck!” and buried her face in her hands.She started whispering prayers in Russian again- a habit she’s fond off when caught in chaos, forgetting that Hades could hear her.He helped her up and led her away from the shattered glass. She went to sit on the bed, still trembling with fright. Then Hades received a call.He hoped it was an update

Chapter: Chapter 21“You didn’t even bother to reply my greeting? Hmm? Your majesty?”Hades furrowed his brows at her, what was she playing at now?“Are you going to sit or not? I have a long day ahead, and I’ve already wasted half watching you sleep.” He said in a calm voice, not wanting to show how irritated he was at the moment.“Well I didn’t ask you to be a creep!” She replied distastefully, jabbing her fingers at him.“And another thing!” Claudine burst out, throwing her hands up in the air. Her breasts bounced under his silk shirt. “Why am I even wearing your clothes? You had no right to touch me like that! And why did you lock me in anyway? This is ridiculous! I’m not some prisoner here to be ordered around!” She kept rambling, her voice rising, like a frustrated kid.Hades just watched her closely, his face showing no emotion. He let her talk, his dark eyes never leaving her. He could tell she was embarrassed at the fact that he was here all along while she touched herself, she didn’t know how t

Chapter: Chapter 20THE NEXT DAY~The morning light, soft and gentle, tried to sneak into Claudine’s eyes. She blinked, once, twice, waiting for the room to make sense.Slowly, the world came into focus. This was no ordinary bedroom. It was huge, stretching out like a vast, quiet palace. Her own room back in Los Angeles, which she’d always thought was big enough for a small concert, could probably fit three times over in here. She wasn’t usually a fan of huge spaces – who wanted to clean all that? – but here, wrapped deep in the warm duvet, she didn’t want to move a muscle.The air smelled wonderful. Clean, earthy, like rich soil after a summer rain. And like him. Like Hades. Like his beard, maybe? She had to stop herself from mentally swooning. Seriously, Claudine? Get a grip!Her eyes scanned everywhere. The room was mostly dark colors, making it feel cozy despite its size. She noticed a tall bookshelf, full of books, and a comfy-looking chair tucked in a corner – a study nook.Wow. He even reads. The

Chapter: Chapter 19It was 11:25 PM, almost midnight, and the day, a whirlwind of terror and revelation, stretched behind them like an unending nightmare.When they finally arrived at the big house, it looked huge and quiet in the darkness, like a giant, rich box. They stepped inside through massive marble doors. The entrance hall was extremely quiet, save for the sound of the air conditioners and the large peacock themed clock by the wall, the mansion was as if everyone inside was already asleep, tired from the day’s grim events.Hades didn’t say anything to Claudine. He just disappeared, blending into the shadows of the mansion. “Artemis will show you to your room,” he called out, his voice echoing in the large space.Which room? The chamber of horrors? Claudine’s jaw tightened, but she bit back the question. Artemis, with her perpetually serene expression, her calm, steady face, led the way. They walked up a grand staircase, its railing shining under the dim lights. They walked until they reached a p

Chapter: Chapter 18Hades watched Claudine’s face, a mix of shock and exhaustion. The garden below glowed like it was Christmas, a carefully arranged tableau of lights and flowers.It was almost ridiculously romantic, a stark contrast to the death they’d just left. It was Hades’s own kind of show, if she ever thought she could predict him, she should think again.She turned back to face him, arms crossed, waiting for answers .“That,” Hades explained, “is for the paparazzi. Give them something to go crazy about.”Claudine tilted her neck a little, her brows raised, questioning. Her mind also questioning the sanity of the man she just married. Hades sighed, a calculated sound. “I know you haven’t eaten all day,” he told her, his voice softer now. “I wanted you to eat. Relax before we go home.”She stared at him, her mind reeling. Really? What the hell was wrong with this man? He just asked for a divorce a few minutes ago… and he already had this planned? She voiced her questions, her confusion clear.Had

Dead By Dawn: A Mafia one Night Stand
Lily at age fifteen wanted to be so many things, but a werewolf was never part of it. Actually, she never thought of it either, because this story isn't about Lily at fifteen, nor is it about any damn werewolves.
This story is about 23-year-old Lily Hills, waking up to the dead body of her one-night stand in a motel. The same man, Damien Kalashnikov, was to tie the knot the next morning, and Lily was slated to handle the magazine publishing the glamorous wedding events.
Lily who just wanted an adventurous night for once in her life, was now accused of murdering a ruthless Russian Mafia boss.
Just as all hope seems lost, Dimitri, Damien's identical twin brother and infamous "Beekeeper," saves her, he proposes a shocking solution: a contract marriage, with conditions for both parties to meet. The wedding, initially intended for Damien and his bride, will proceed as planned – with Lily as the new bride.
As Lily and Dimitri navigate their complicated relationship, he commissions her to write his biography. With each passing day, secrets unfold, and shocking truths surface. Their bond deepens, but danger lurks. With a surprise pregnancy raising stakes, it seemed Damien left a souvenir. A Russian Roulette began.
Albeit, a typical Russian will say to you: Когда река молчит, шепчет ли она секреты рыбам? (When the river's voice is silent, does it whisper secrets to the fish?)
Even in silence, hidden truths may be shared, and secrets can be revealed in unexpected ways.
Will Lily, wife to the Omertà Mafia Don ‘The Beekeeper’ eventually find out what happened that night?

Chapter: Chapter 28Lily took that step. One small move towards the bed, towards him, while Dmitri felt a strong beat deep inside him. It was a quiet giving in, a soft promise in her stubborn eyes. He’d seen women give in before, but never like this.Never with a fight still in their look. My Lily. A faint, knowing smile touched his mouth. He wasn’t just taking her body tonight, he was claiming a part of her strong, fierce spirit.The resort room felt big, but suddenly too small. The soft sounds of the ocean outside became far away. He watched her, a quiet invitation in his dark eyes, as she moved slowly, unsure, until she stood by the side of the bed. The air around them felt tense, like something was about to happen, suddenly he could almost taste the excitement, hot and strong.He moved, sitting up, letting his eyes look all over her. He liked the soft lines of her summer dress, the gentle curve of her neck, noting how she e was truly pretty. A wild animal trying to be calm, and failing beautifully.“

Chapter: Chapter 27The muffled pistol shot echoed in Lily’s ears, then seemed to vanish into the ocean’s roar. Her heart hammered against her ribs, a frantic drum, it didn't help the fact that she stumbled, seeing Dmitri move in a blur.The man in the Hawaiian shirt was a crumpled heap on the boardwalk, a dark stain spreading on the wood. Dmitri didn’t spare him a second glance. He was already by Lily’s side, grabbing her arm, his grip firm and hot, pulling her.“Move,” he growled, his voice rough, urgent. He pulled her, almost dragging her, away from the moonlit beach, back towards the distant, bright lights of the lobby. His eyes were sharp, darting, scanning every face.He steered her quickly towards a quieter service elevator, away from the main guest traffic, pressing the button impatiently.Inside the elevator, Lily finally found her voice. “Wha—what happened? Who was that?” Her voice was shaky.Dmitri’s jaw was tight. His gaze was intense, focused on the numbers lighting up. “He was a distraction

Chapter: Chapter 26Lily's eyes bugged out. "Just One room?" she mouthed silently at Dmitri. He ignored her, taking the key card."Excellent," he said, and turned away, expecting her to follow. What choice did she have? Run away and risk a real prison cell, or stay and share a very fancy room with the man who made her stomach do flip-flops?They reached a fancy wooden door. Dmitri swiped the card. "Welcome to your home away from home, Mrs. Kalashnikov," he said, holding the door open. That smirk again. It was infuriating. And yet, she noticed the way his suit jacket pulled across his broad shoulders as he moved.Focus, Lily. He's the enemy.Wait. Is he?She stepped inside. The room was massive. The king-sized bed faced a wall of windows looking out onto a moonlit ocean. It was clearly made for one couple."You're kidding me," Lily said, turning to him, her voice flat.Dmitri closed the door, the click echoing. He tossed his keys onto a glass table. The faint scent of his cologne, sharp and clean, filled

Chapter: Chapter 25Kentucky Border.7:00pm.“I have to pee.”Dmitri's gaze was forced to shift to hers.“Pee?”She nodded.They couldn't stop to pee now, they still hadn't reached their destination.“Hold it, we are almost there.”“What the freaking heck. I can't hold it, I'd pee all over the car.Lily's face has gone paler than its usual self. She wasn't lying and he knew he had to stop now if he didn't want the entire car to smell like human waste product.“Ostanovis' seychas!” (stop now.)The driver didn't need to be told twice and in the next minute the car pulled up in the middle of Kentucky and Chicago borders.The car rolled to a stop, gravel crunching beneath the tires. The countryside stretched out endlessly under the golden hues of the sunset.The plan was to get her out the house mainly because of the people he was tracking down. Kentucky had some lead and what better excuse to get her out of the house and still under his watch. Dmitri glanced at the rearview mirror, his eyes scanning the

Chapter: Chapter 24The summer dress dangled down her petite frame and Lily wondered how Dmitri had managed to get her exact fit. Did he somehow check her measurements while she was asleep or was she just being delusional.Taking one last look at her reflection in the mirror, she couldn’t help but admire how the soft nude fabric complemented her pale skin. The delicate roses scattered across the dress added a gentle charm, making her feel... different.She could remember the last time she put on a summer dress. Last year, a scorching September in Miami. Her dad has decided to take a rare permit from work to whisk her away for a much-needed summer vacation in Miami.She was reluctant at first, especially because it was September. As a journalist, her job required she got the latest gossip, chasing breaking stories, and well, Summer in New York had a whole lot of news just waiting to burst out. She’d gone, but not without a fuss—and a lengthy scolding from her boss.Now, the memory was bittersweet, li

Chapter: Chapter 23Days turned into weeks with Lily stuck under Dmitri's house.Every free time she had–which was basically all the time– was spent writing a Biography she was assigned to.Dmitri had warned her that although she was to write his biography, there was no digging in his personal life involved.Lily found this difficult especially because that was her job and how the hell was she supposed to write a biography about someone when she wasn't even allowed to know much about them.Lily mingled with the pen in her fingers before biting at the tip. After another minute of thinking what next to write she slumped down on her book.“Urghh.” She groaned. “This stupid house.”Finally giving up for that day, Lily found herself scribbling random figures on the pages while fiddling with the pen.She had managed to sketch a shabby looking dove that looked more like a bat than a dove.Lily was still busy trying to get the animal's perfect shape and didn't even notice when her room door creaked open.Dmitri
