Gio ran out to go call a doctor or a nurse, while lily struggled to understand what was happening with her mum.

After about another hour when she has been stabilized and everyone in the room was now settled, lily thought perhaps this wasn’t the best time to bring this up.

Hopefully her mum lets the issue slide.

"Emiliana. My baby, why? Why would you do something like this?" she asked, her voice still shaking.

Lily felt tears prick at the corners of her eyes as she looked at her mom. She knew she had to explain, to tell her mom everything.

"I witnessed a crime, Mom. A very dangerous crime. And now they're after me. Dimitri...he's the only one who can protect me," Lily said, trying to keep her emotions in check.

Her mom's eyes filled with tears as she listened to Lily's words. "Oh, Lily. My poor girl. Why did this have to happen to you?"

Lily felt a lump form in her throat as she looked at her mom. She knew she had to be strong, for her mom's sake.

    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

    The meeting with his grandfather dragged on longer than it should have. Dmitri sat stiff-backed in the leather chair, his jaw locked as the old man spoke about legacy, control, and the responsibility of wearing the Don title. It was the same thing he had heard since childhood.No more dragging territory. The title of Don was being forced into his hands whether he wanted it now or not.“Christian is leaving,” his grandfather said. “Returning to the United Kingdom. He has no claim here anymore, Dmitri. The family and city rests on you.”The words should have steadied him. Instead, a strange disquiet curled in his stomach. Christian leaving after two months without warning?It was convenient and suspicious at the same time. The man had fought hard for control and recognition, and now he simply packed his bags and left? No, there was more to it than that.When the meeting ended, Dmitri left the Kalshinkov estate.The late winter wind bit into his coat as he stepped out into the driveway.

    Lily’s eyes fluttered open to the white background above her. The sharp scent of antiseptic filled her nose and the beeping of a monitor somewhere nearby grounding her in the reality she wished wasn’t real.Her vision steadied, and the first thing she saw was her mother and Gio, both of them leaning forward in their chairs, worry etched so deeply across their faces.“Mom? Gio?” Her voice cracked. She pushed against the mattress, trying to sit up, but her body felt weaker than it should.Almost immediately a female doctor stepped forward.“Please, don’t move. You need to rest.”Her brows furrowed. “Rest? No, I am fine.”The doctor exchanged a quick glance with Gio before returning his gaze to her. “No please, you’ve been under immense stress. It’s not good for your health and certainly not good for the baby.”Lily looked between the doctor and Gio who had their eyes to the ground.“…The baby? What do you mean the baby?”She turned her head sharply toward Gio, searching her face for an

    Lily’s hold on the folder trembled, she looked at her father’s lifeless body, blood everywhere. It was faint but she could see it still.“W-when did this happen?” Lily stuttered, her voice barely steady as she looked up at Mikhail.“Eight months ago,” he replied matter-of-factly, flipping through a stack of papers.“And not just him. Cases like this have been piling up. Journalists. Investigators. Anyone sniffing too close to certain networks. He was one of the first.”Eight months ago.Lily’s stomach twisted violently. Eight months ago was exactly when she’d met Dmitri. Exactly when she had agreed to his twisted bargain to get married to him in exchange for her protection and the promise he would help her find her father.Her fingers clenched tight around the folder. All that time. All those nights she had tortured herself with hope. He had been dead.She blinked back the sting in her eyes.Mikhail tapped the folder, drawing her attention back to him. “Are you okay, Miss Hills?”She n

    Two Months Later..Lily’s palms were sweaty, she adjusted her shirt for the fifth time looking at her reflection in the mirror.It had been a long hard two months of adjusting and trying to get over Dmitri. She hadn’t completely forgotten about him, it’d take more than two months to do that but one thing she was ready to finally do was move on.Today, she finally restarted her career as a journalist. She didn’t know how good she’d be. It was a different country, different culture and she hadn’t worked into an office in over a year.“Don’t sweat it Lily, you’ll do great. You’re the best journalist I know. “ Gio flashed a smile.Lily rolled an eye in response. “I am the only journalist you know.”She was about to start a debate when a stain of icing fell from her hand onto Lily’s shirt as she attempted to pull her for a prep talk.“Oops.” Gio robbed it off awkwardly then cleared her throat. “I think I’ll go.”She pulled the cupcakes she’d just baked into a box and rushed out of the door

    Lily woke up to the stream of sunlight against her face. Her eyes fluttered open to adjust to the light when the felt the ache.Her body was sore in places she hadn’t felt ache in years. The dull throb between her thighs was proof of last night, and despite herself, a small smile curved her lips.It had felt like forever since she’d been touched, really touched and for one fragile second she allowed herself the indulgence of believing she wasn’t alone anymore.But her smile was soon robbed off when she turned to face Dmitri and the side of the bed he had slept was now empty.Lily pushed up from the bed, scanning the entire room from his presence or scent even but the bed was cold.Her heart raced.“Dmitri?” She called scanning the spacious bedroom.She pushed herself up, tugging the thin silk gown around her shoulders, scanning the room for a sign of him, his scent, anything.Heart pounding, she hurried into the penthouse living room.Her mother sat behind the kitchen counter with Gio
