Lost in the lion's den, another spectacular move by Lily Hills.

Lilly stopped at the first dead end, slumping her hand on her knees for the third time. A part of her was at ease that at least the house had an end but on the other part she was completely lost.

What exactly was she thinking wandering alone in a lion's den Like she knew every corner like the back of her palm.

She couldn't deny it, the house was large–massive in fact, every corner had corners and turns ending at completely different corridors. The mansion had beautiful collage, dark malicious walk paintings and skull frames at almost every corner.

The halls were endless but not until she stopped at one. The hallway was the only one on its floor with just one door at the left corner.

Lily took slow steps as she moved closer, twisting the knob of the huge black iron door. It was the biggest she'd seen so far with Russian scribbling at the top right.

Lily pushed open the door, her eyes widened as she looked around the roo

    Kentucky 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

    The 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

    Days 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

    “P-punishment?”Lily’s voice trembled, what did he mean by that. Dmitri's lips curled up into a sinister grin.He gun trailed over her face, trailing from her lips down to her chin.“Yes, princess. A little lesson in obedience never hurt anyone.”He straightened his posture, his piercing gaze slicing through her as he lowered the gun to his side.“Let’s see who should take the fall for this. Shall we?”Her heart pounded in her chest as Dmitri turned to Gabrielle, who stood like a shadow behind him. “Bring Dante,” he ordered.“No! Wait!” Lily blurted out, stepping in front of him.She raised her hands in desperation.“Please don't, It was my fault. He didn’t do anything wrong.”Dmitri ignored her, his gaze never wavering from Gabrielle, who nodded once and stepped out of the room.Lily’s legs felt like jelly as she moved to block Dmitri’s path.Her face finally met hers. What a confident little girl.“I’ll take the punishment! Whatever you want, just don’t involve him. He’s innocent.”

    9:00pm‘He really was still out there the whole time?’Lily's heart that was racing slowly returned back to its normal pace as she looked over Gigi's shoulders to find Dante standing there. “Sorry for interrupting you girls, but it's getting late and Mrs Kalashnikov really needs to be on her way home.” Dante's voice was at its usual calm pitch but Lily already knew he was anything but calm on the inside. “I think she should stay, it's alread–”“Okay, that’s it let me get my things.” Lily interrupted, grabbing her purse for the couch and slipping past Gio. Lily avoided Dante's gaze as she walked to the door, feeling the tension radiating from him. She didn’t need to look at him to know he was irritated. His calm demeanor was always a mask, but tonight it was thinner than usual.Gio shot Dante a questioning look, but he gave a small shake of his head. She frowned but didn’t argue, stepping aside to let Lily pass.“I’ll call you tomorrow,” Gio waved as soon as Lily got out. She was

This time Gigi's mom was home and she insisted she stayed.Gigi hung the towel back on the shelf before turning to face Lily.“He said he had something to catch up on at work.”She moved the counter, removing the last bit of dishes.“ I thought he worked from home.”“Yeah, but something came up, he should be back by now, guess it's a lot of work.”Lily dried her hands, leaning against the counter. “Uncle Albert seems so busy lately. He’s not like this usually, right?” Gigi shrugged, her expression tight. “No
