MasukThe next day like she promised Nadia, Lily was at the office very early. Her mom had wanted her to stay for breakfast but she couldn't. She could only pack a meal bag for Lily in her rush.“I'm sorry about yesterday, I couldn't hold back from informing you immediately.” Nadia apologized as they made their way to a quiet space in the office.“It's alright, I'm glad you did.” Lily replied before urging Nadia to tell her about her findings.“The Kalashnikov Empire had a major acquisition of pharmaceutical organisation in early years before any other Russian mafia clan had dealings with other countries. They had discovered a drug that could cure major ailment at that time. When the Kalashnikov revealed their discovery, there was a slip up made by the major countries of the world. They skipped some health procedures and decided to trust the experiment of their new found saviour.""The Kalashnikov's head being very sly used subsidiary channels to sell the drugs to avoid traces. The first ba
Lily was pregnant.The only thing that kept ringing in Dmitri's head all the way to his penthouse where he kept her and her loved ones.Kept?Was that the word he used for her now?Having not seen or been with Lily for over two months since their night together, he didn't know how she'd react but one thing for sure was the fact that her reaction would be anything but calm.He was utterly surprised to find out that Lily who had supposedly gone missing returned back home, unscathed and fine.“Where were you?” Dmitri demanded after waiting for over an hour without any idea where Lily had gone.Who on earth did she know here? He already knew she had started work again but it hadn't been long so she definitely did not have that many friends. “Lily, I'm talking to you!” Dmitri raised his voice having been ignored brutally by the one he had missed for months.Still no response from Lily. It was like to her he wasn't there. What was going on?“We have a set curfew in this place and you know t
Russia.Dmitri remembered the last time he had stepped on its soil. The things he had to do weren’t a very pleasant memory, but now he had to push the thought behind him.What he needed to do now was clear: find Damien and completely eradicate any information he had that threatened Lily’s safety.Dmitri nodded in approval to Dante. He had instructed him to dig up some info on Lily’s recent living. He knew she had resumed working as a journalist in the city, but his mind still wasn’t settled. He needed to make sure she was fine. That was all it. Or so he told himself.“First stop,” Dmitri muttered as the car wound through Moscow’s snow-lined streets, “the Kalashnikov Estate.”The name alone made Dante glance sideways. “Your family house?”“Yes,” Dmitri said flatly. “If Damien is stupid enough to linger in Russia, he’ll go where he feels entitled. That house was always his obsession.”Damien, as elder brother, was next of kin after Grandpa Yuri, meaning he was basically the crown of the
“Thirty six…Thirty seven…One hundred and thirty eight…”That was the first thing she heard when her eyes fluttered open.Lily blinked against the soft glow of a lamp and slowly took in her surroundings. A living room. A casual house with the faint smell of tobacco and lemon polish clinging to the air.Her limbs didn’t feel heavy. She flexed her fingers. No restraints. No cold chains biting into her wrists. Her body ached faintly, but otherwise, she was free.Her eyes finally found the source of the voice. A young boy, teenager, leaned back lazily in a chair across from her, his boots crossed at the ankle, rolling a coin across his knuckles as he counted under his breath.She met the boy’s eyes.The counting stopped. “She’s awake!” She heard the voice say.He swung to his feet.“What…where am I?” Her voice came out hoarse.Two men rushed inside from where the man had run into.“See.” He gestured to her. “I told you she was up, now can I go?”The other one nodded and without waiting for
7:00amMoscow General Hospital.Today was for a check-up.She recalled her mother’s voice. She’d been ringing it like an alarm all week.Lily’s mom had basically forced her to book an appointment with the doctor but she had refused, deciding to go for a visit herself.Lily could barely hear herself think as the doctor spoke on the same topic from the second…third…she had lost count.“You are undergoing a lot of stress Miss Hills. It is not good for both yourself and the baby. The reports are showing that the health of yourself and the baby is at major risk if you don’t do something about it.”“Yes doctor. I’ve heard you.” She answered but the man pressed on.“The baby is nearly three months and though it hasn’t started showing signs of movement I can reassure you that if you keep going like this you could end up with a defected child in some kind of way. “Lily's gaze snapped away from the hospital door and to the doctor.“What do you mean by a defected child?”She nodded. “A certain
Lily knew she shouldn’t have come. She should be home resting because that was what was good for the baby. But she just couldn’t.“I’m surprised you actually suggested a location.” Lily heard Nadia say. “Yesterday, you didn’t look all into it and now today you are picking a news spot.”She turned to face her with her most convincing smile.“Yesterday. Uhm..I-I..” She stuttered.Nadia giggled. “First day nerves. I think I get that.”Lily thanked her gods; she didn’t think too much about it. Nadia went back to her locker digging. Lily had suggested they search the spot.It was a closed down warehouse, apparently not only had father had died that day and after the incident, the entire place had been sealed shut.It wasn’t the kind of place she wanted to be but she couldn’t turn away.Her eyes drifted to the chalk outline on the ground, faint and weathered from months of weather and footsteps. Still, it burned into her vision. She pressed her lips together, fighting the tightening in her
