Minutes turned to hours and Lily still hadn’t heard from either Dmitri or Gio.

Immediately after the party ended, Christian had shoved her into one of the guest rooms, locking her inside until everyone cleared out.

Her mind raced, clawing for meaning. She didn’t understand what to do, didn’t understand what it meant to be Christian’s mistress, or what he wanted from her only that Dmitri had stood there and said absolutely nothing.

Her heart shattered. She felt used. Dumb, even. Just when she thought she was starting to feel something for him.

The door creaked open. Her breath hitched, eyes darting toward it as Christian stepped inside wearing a smug smile on his lips.

She immediately backed into the wall, shoulders stiff as her jaw clenched. “Where’s Gio? What do you want from me?” she hissed, her voice trembling with fury she barely held down.

He shut the door slowly behind him, his smile never dropping as he walked slowly towards her like he was enjoying every second of the fear pri

    Lily scanned the room, the only exit was the door she entered from and at the moment Sebastian now stood stationed there. He clearly wasn’t going to just let them off.“Well, we’ll.” He drawled, like his brother, the British accent didn’t waver. “It seems like my brother might have let a little lady like you slip from his watch.”Lily’s pulse thundered in her ears. Instinctively, she shifted, tugging Gio behind her as if her body alone could shield her.“Stay back,” she snapped, raising her hands in offense. “Or I swear I’ll—““You’ll what?” Sebastian taunted her. “Do you plan to scratch me with those little nails? You should’ve stayed put, Mrs. Kalanshivo. Would’ve saved us all the trouble.”Her half baked confidence attempt wasn’t fooling anyone. His hands traveled his pocket, pulling out a pistol.She tugged at Gio’s wrist again, this time Sebastian had wandered a little away from the door. If one of them ran fast enough it could be possible they’d actually make it out.Lily gave G

    “D-Dmitri? What’s going on?”The words tumbled from Lily’s lips before she could stop them. Her eyes locked onto his, searching for something, anything, that resembled the man she thought she knew.But what stared back at her wasn’t the Dmitri she remembered. This one had no trace of warmth nor tenderness.“My, my,” Christian drawled smoothly, but now the British charm she was over heels for felt like broken glass. “Right on cue.”“You’ve all heard the rumors. Wars brewing in the North. Blood spilling in the South. Enemies circling, waiting for cracks in the empire. But tonight—” his eyes slid to Dmitri, “—tonight you witness something else. Unity.”His gaze fell back on her.“Both myself and Mr. Kalanshivo,” Christian continued, his tone tightening with authority, “will be joining forces in this territory. Born and bled for this city, we’ve decided to put aside our… differences. Together, our power is absolute. And you happen to be part of the bargain.”Lily’s stomach dropped.“Dmitr

    Lily could hear her heart literally pounding out of her chest.The men circled around the exit blocking her path and their hands brushing the steel inside their jackets was enough to remind her she wasn’t leaving. Not unless Christian allowed it.Her grip on Gio’s hand tightened, but her cousin looked just as lost, confusion painted across her wide eyes.Lily turned pulse racing when she saw Christian watching her from across the hall holding a tight grin on his face.“W-what’s going on?” she stammered, searching his face for an answer, for anything she could use to make sense of this nightmare.However, instead of responding, his gaze shifted to his brother, Sebastian, who then stepped between them.“Take Gio inside.” He ordered.“What?” Lily’s voice broke as Gio frowned, tugging against her hold.What’s going on?” Gio questioned with even more urgency.Lily swallowed hard, forcing a smile she didn’t feel. She didn’t want her cousin dragged deeper into this mess.“Just go, Gio. I’ll

    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

  • Dead By Dawn: A Mafia one Night Stand   Chapter 39

    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
