It had officially been a week since Dmitri dropped Lily off at Gio’s place. Thankfully, her new phone had finally arrived, and she could reconnect with the internet again.

“Dearest, I need to run down to the shelter for a bit. I’ll be back soon,” her mother called before the soft click of the door shutting behind her.

The past few days, Lily had mostly been left alone at home. Her mother spent long hours at the animal shelter, it didn’t pay much, but at least it was something, a small start. Gio, on the other hand, was always out and about with her college friend, Sebastian. Though, Lily suspected their frequent meet up was more than just friends viewing the city.

Speaking of the devil, the front door opened, and Gio walked in mid-conversation on the phone. When she finally hung up, Lily arched a brow, clearly waiting for an explanation.

“I thought we were supposed to catch up today,” she reminded her.

Gio’s mouth formed a perfect O.

“I’m bakery hunting with Sebastian. He seems to kno

    Twenty minutes in and Gio had already disappeared into the kitchen with Sebastian. He barely even spared Lily a glance when they entered, only muttered something quickly in her ear that made her blush, before whisking her away.Now, Lily stood awkwardly at the edge of the crowded room.Everyone looked too comfortable here, as though they all knew each other and belonged to some exclusive club only the rich and powerful were allowed intoThe atmosphere was nothing short of expensive, everyone wearing the same shade of black. It all felt too oddly familiar. Lily could’ve sworn she was having déjà vu.It wasn’t until she finally pinpointed where she’d seen a similar setting did she suddenly feel uncomfortable.It was exactly like the first Omertà Dmitri had dragged her into when they first met. Every detail mirrored that night, the crowd, the feel of power and money in the air.And here she was again, the outsider. And somehow, just like before, everything circled back to Dmitri.With a

    Christian Whitmore. First son of the notorious British crime clan. A man whose reputation balanced razor-sharp decency with lethal danger.Dmitri read Dante’s message again, the words heavy in his mind: the Whitmores had just secured a major territory in the city, and Christian’s Omertà was only days away.The reason for the relocation was unclear, and Dmitri didn’t like the idea of sharing his city with some newcomers, especially not ones with blood on their hands and a legacy that screamed power.The car rolled to a stop in front of the estate. The Vintage Street had once belonged to a prominent Italian Bratva, long since dismantled after a bloody fall from grace.Now, the British clan had claimed it. The change was undeniable: iron gates embossed with lions and crowns, meticulously trimmed hedges, and the faint, crisp scent of old money.Dmitri remembered the stories his father used to tell—how the Bellini family had scammed and cornered rivals, how the estate had been a fortress o

    Lily bit her tongue, his eyes freezing her in place.“It’s, um… it’s totally fine.” She swallowed hard after the sentence, as if the words had scraped their way out.He glanced at the colorful disaster on the floor. “And it looked quite delicious, too. I’m sorry. I wasn’t watching.” His voice wrapped the apology in that crisp, lilting accent, somehow making even regret sound sophisticated.If there was a way the British accent could get more attractive, this man had mastered it.Lily giggled awkwardly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “I mean, who even brings macarons to a place like this?” She instantly bit her words, wincing. What a stupid thing to say, Lily Hills. Brilliant first impression.But instead of frowning, he chuckled, a rich, warm sound. “Actually, I rather fancy these kinds of things. Breaking them in the kitchen is another matter entirely. I’ve always wanted to learn.”Lily blinked. She didn’t know why he was admitting that to her, a complete stranger, but sh

    Chapter 36.“Dear, you didn’t tell us you were visiting. I’d have made my signature Marconi’s, this is such a surprise.”Lily’s mother said, bustling about the small kitchen, pulling half-empty jars and leftover vegetables as though a feast could be made in minutes. “I didn’t know myself.” She scoffed, if only her mom knew she wasn’t bluffing. “But here we are. I’ll be staying for a little while.”Her mother turned, her hands now settled on her waist as she looked at her. “And Mr Kalashnikov is fine with that?”She nodded, her mom’s gaze lingered suspiciously for a while before turning back to the cooker.“Couples of this generation,” she muttered under her breath. “Impossible.”Lily forced a smile. She was happy to be home, happy to breathe the familiar air of her family, yet it only deepened the knot in her chest. Why had Dmitri brought her here? From everything she had come to know of him, he was not a man who let go of what belonged to him—not even for a moment. If she was in dang

    Chapter 35The look on Dmitri’s face was enough to make a man tremble but Grandpa Yuri had seen them one too many times to be shaken.“So be it then. Since she’s already here I might as well say it. I want her gone.”The space around them froze.“What kind of joke is this?” He asked.“No joke here, grandson. You’ve painted a terrible image for our family. Some might even say you are starting to look weak.”Dmitri’s jaw locked in place. Their assumptions were starting to get on his nerves. “Stand there love.” He looked to Lily who nodded and walked away a few miles.He looked back at Grandpa Yuri.“And what makes you think I care what people think?”This time Grandpa Yuri, took his voice down like he was about to whisper. “I don’t care what you think but I won’t let my family be perceived as weak. It’s either you get rid of her or I give your cousin the title as Don and still dispose of her.”That made Dmitri flinch a little. Not because Grandpa Yuri threatened his title, heck, he was
