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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
