Lily at age fifteen wanted to be so many things, but a werewolf was never part of it. Actually, she never thought of it either, because this story isn't about Lily at fifteen, nor is it about any damn werewolves. This story is about 23-year-old Lily Hills, waking up to the dead body of her one-night stand in a motel. The same man, Damien Kalashnikov, was to tie the knot the next morning, and Lily was slated to handle the magazine publishing the glamorous wedding events. Lily who just wanted an adventurous night for once in her life, was now accused of murdering a ruthless Russian Mafia boss. Just as all hope seems lost, Dimitri, Damien's identical twin brother and infamous "Beekeeper," saves her, he proposes a shocking solution: a contract marriage, with conditions for both parties to meet. The wedding, initially intended for Damien and his bride, will proceed as planned – with Lily as the new bride. As Lily and Dimitri navigate their complicated relationship, he commissions her to write his biography. With each passing day, secrets unfold, and shocking truths surface. Their bond deepens, but danger lurks. With a surprise pregnancy raising stakes, it seemed Damien left a souvenir. A Russian Roulette began. Albeit, a typical Russian will say to you: Когда река молчит, шепчет ли она секреты рыбам? (When the river's voice is silent, does it whisper secrets to the fish?) Even in silence, hidden truths may be shared, and secrets can be revealed in unexpected ways. Will Lily, wife to the Omertà Mafia Don ‘The Beekeeper’ eventually find out what happened that night?

PROLOGUE

Whoever invented one night stands should be nailed to the cross!“Arghh.” Lily winces, her stomach twisting in knots as fragmented memories come flooding back; she flirted with him, shared one drink too many, and it was all so unclear. But this... this.. wasn't part of the plan."Where am I.. what is that smell?" she mutters to herself as she made an attempt to sit up. The bed felt uncomfortable. The dimly lit motel room made her head spin.Shit! What had she gotten herself into, having an illicit affair with her clients supposed groom?Briefly, she looks about the room: the gloom is hardly lessened by the small light that struggles to seep between curtains. Her stomach heaves on the sight of the blood-dark, carmined stains across her hands, her clothes, and the bed. Panic clawed at the throat in a vice while trying to make out that awful smell, she suddenly jerks her head to one side. “What!.. what in the!!??..” Lily gasped, her hands quickly covered her mouth in shock.Next to h...

I just started reading a few minutes ago and I am addicted, it’s like I am watching a movie. Everything is just happening so fast, Lily getting fired and getting married in a shotgun wedding but I am suspicious of her husband. He is the only one actively benefiting from his brother’s death? Fishy.

Chapter 1
TWENTY FOUR HOURS EARLIER….Damian Kalashnikov’s voice slices through the cathedral, razor-sharp, dripping with venom. "We're calling off this wedding!" His sudden announcement sends undulations through the crowd in a ripple of gasps.Lily can hardly catch her breath as she snaps the picture. Her hands shake, but she holds tight. Chaos explodes before her-literal chaos-just like it was staged and stolen right off some reality TV show gone horribly wrong.In the centre bride Alicia Luxembourg stands. Her white rehearsal gown is pristine and virginal, but on her it clings to her shaking form while her face contorts in disbelieving horror, tears beginning to streak down her cheeks. "What are you talking about?" she shrieks, voice cracking as she lurches forward towards him. "What are you… what? You can't do this!"Damian gazes down at her, his eyes cold with contempt; his jaw clenched, the muscles furrowed tight with anger. His gaze meets with the officiating priest as a warning to stay

Chapter 2
PRESENT DAY..10:55am…Dimitri Kalashnikov’s safe house. Lily wakes up groggy, disoriented, staring up at the ceiling of a room that was unfamiliar to her. The bed beneath her is soft, but her body was sore-most especially her broken ankle, which was now tightly bandaged. The events of the night just passed, floods into her mind like a deluge; Damian’s dead body, frantic struggle, head spinning.. the man from the alley... She rubbed her temples, hoping somehow she'd make sense of how she'd gotten there."Hello.." Lily calls out with a whisper at first. "Is anybody there? " an entire room pin drop silence welcomed her.She panicks and hobbles her legs over the side for the door. She reaches for the handle, twisting it, but it was locked. Instantly, her heart starts beating rapidly against her chest. She lost her mind, banging on the door, screaming, "Help! Somebody help me!" Her voice echoed in the room.No answer.“Why am I so unlucky? What’s.. oh my goodness.” She bit down hard on

1:00 PM St. Dominic’s Cathedral— The Wedding Ceremony.“We are all gathered here to witness the blissful union between…”Standing beside Dimitri, Lily's heart was pounding in her chest as her quivering hand clutched his. The voice of the priest turned into a wheezing sound in her head. Dimitri had somehow magically arranged everything last minute, including her stunning wedding gown, a lace and silk masterpiece with delicate embroidery that hugged her curves perfectly. The delicate veil framing her face added beautifully. Like a true bride.If only this was real.She turned her face to look at his, what intrigued her the most asides the sexy aura oozing from him was his long black hair, neatly tied back. The way he was also staring back at her, his sharp features and tattoos snaking down his arms, peeking out from under a sleeve of a well- tailored suit. "Relax, Lily," Dimitri whispered, hunching so his hot breath danced across her ear. "It's just a formality." His thin temper was

Chapter 4
7:15pm FBI Interrogation Room. Over four hours had past. Lily still sat amidst the chill, sterile confines of the room, in her white wedding gown—what an utter and complete spectacle it had become— sleeves rumpled, the veil long discarded to a chair. The fabric was heavy, constrictive, and with every inch reminding her of the lie she was living. A Kalashnikov’s bride. Now, hours later herein she sat in the clutches of the FBI. Unluckily for her, the agents had bundled her out of her own wedding. But the universe decided to throw her a gem of luck, with Dimitri intercepting their vehicle along the way. Making sure that ‘his wife’ wasn’t driven into FBI custody like a criminal. He took a strong stand, almost waging a war with the men just so that Lily could ride with him instead. Since they insisted that she must come answer some questions. She looked down at her new pair of footwear, smiling. Dimitri had given it to her on their way here, so she could relieve her feet from those t

Chapter 5
Lily's world shattered as she stood before her father's lifeless body. The warehouse's dim lighting couldn't hide the brutality of his murder. Her knees buckled, but Dimitri's swift catch prevented her fall. He swept her into his arms, holding her tight as she dissolved into uncontrollable sobs. "Daddy!" she wailed, her voice echoing off the warehouse walls. Dimitri's chest absorbed her tears, his warmth a fleeting comfort. He stroked her hair, murmuring softly. "It's okay, Lily. I've got you." But it wasn't okay. Her father was gone. As the reality sunk in, Lily's cries intensified. Dimitri's grip tightened, a lifeline in her turmoil. She clung to him, her fists twisting his shirt. Time lost meaning as Lily mourned. Dimitri's steady heartbeat comforted her, but the anguish threatened to consume her. Eventually, Dimitri gently lowered her to the floor, sitting beside her. Lily wrapped her arms around her knees, rocking back and forth. Tears streamed down her face, her body shaking.

Chapter 6
Lily slowly opened her eyes, feeling weak and disoriented. The beeping of machines and faint antiseptic smell told her she was in a hospital. But how did she get here? She tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over her, forcing her back onto the pillow.Gio's face came into focus, her eyes red-rimmed from crying. "Oh, my God, you're awake," Gio exclaimed, holding Lily's hands tightly."Where...where am I?" Lily whispered, her voice barely audible."You're at the hospital," Gio replied, tears streaming down her face. "You fainted, and you've been unconscious for 24 hours. I was scared you wouldn't wake up."Lily's memories came flooding back – the warehouse, her father's lifeless body. She cried freely, unable to hold back her emotions. Gio hugged her, trying to console her.As Lily's tears subsided, Gio spoke up, her voice laced with concern. "Dimitri's outside, speaking with the FBI agents. They came to ask you some questions."Lily's thoughts swirled in chaos. Why was her l

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.The sound of the TV in the hospital roo

Chapter 8
If the walls had ears then this type of silence would have definitely made them mad.Lily and Dmitri had spent over an hour just driving to his estate, after dropping off her mum and saying bye. According to him, a mafia hideout was the most significant place in a cartel’s life. But this was the same house Lily had left to go for her ‘wedding’ yet she couldn’t recognize any route.Dmitri pulled up, cutting the car engine. He glanced over Lily's pale face for a brief second before pulling out the car keys from its hole.“Welcome home tsarevna.” Dmitri mumbled, but just loud enough for Lily to hear. He stepped out of the Bentley SUV reaching for her door in just a few steps. Lily was still lost in thoughts, her eyes widened when Dmitri opened the car door for her to step down, his jaw hardening as he leaned close to brush away a strand from her face. Suddenly as if unconscious of his actions, Dimitri’s eyes left her face—“Lily… come on.” He whispered as he angled his head to the direc

“Is everything set?” Dimitri's voice was low but calculating. Using the last power in his head to push away the thought of lily in a short pink towel.Dimitri and Gabrielle stood Inside the grand headquarters of the FBI, his eyes fixed on the monitor displaying their movements. The hackers had done a good job tracking their location and the gunmen and chaos were already scattered round the scene waiting for Dimitri's order.Dimitri stood in the packed SUV far out of sight deep in the shadows of the forest. He leaned against his chair watching closers and the agents buzzed at their desks, reviewing intel and going around with their business. He couldn't see the agent that investigated Lily on their wedding day and it only made his blood run boil, his whole being craving for their destruction.His men had already taken their position–some monitoring FBI communication channels, others moving around the premises. Dimitri was calm, but his presence exuded an undeniable authority.This was
