Chapter: Chapter 32Dominic’s POVI walked into my office, and closed the door behind me with a soft click. I made my way over to the bar, pouring myself a glass of whiskey as I sat down in my chair.I took a sip of the whiskey, feeling the burn all the way down my throat. It was precisely what I needed to clear my head after the night’s events.Just as I was starting to relax, there was a knock at the door. “Come in,” I called out.The door opened, and James walked in. “Boss, I'm glad you’re back,” he said, his expression serious.I raised an eyebrow, my mind immediately flashing back to Elena, as that was the reason James left the hotel in the first place. “What's wrong?” I asked.James hesitated for a moment before speaking. “It’s Elena, boss.”I frowned, my grip on the glass tightening. “What do you mean?” I asked.James shook his head. “I’m not entirely sure, boss. But I do know that she didn’t try to escape. In fact, she’s been in her room the whole time.”I raised an eyebrow, confusion etched on m

Chapter: Chapter 31Dominic’s POVI walked out of the bathroom, my eyes scanning the room. And that was when I saw them. Six men, all dressed in black and wearing masks, were scattered around the room. They were all armed, and they looked like they fucking meant business.I didn’t hesitate. I raised my gun and started firing, taking out the men one by one. They didn’t stand a chance. I was a mafia boss, and I knew how to handle myself in a fight.Before they could process what was happening, they were all down. As the last man fell to the ground, I walked over to him and stood over him, my gun still pointed directly at his head. “Who sent you?” I growled, my voice cold and deadly.The man looked up at me, his eyes filled with fear. “P…please,” he stuttered. “Don’t kill me.”I raised an eyebrow, my grip on the gun tightening. “You should have fucking thought of that before you came after me,” I said, my voice dripping with malice.But then, something made me held back my hand. Maybe it was the fear in th

Chapter: Chapter 30Dominic’s POVI stepped out of the mansion, the cool night air enveloping me. My mind was still filled with the conversation with Elena, her words echoing in my head like an alarm.I couldn’t quite get over the feeling of pity that I felt towards her. As I walked towards the car, my driver, a well-built, huge muscular man, nodded at me. “Boss, we’ve got quite a situation,” he said, his voice low and urgent.I raised an eyebrow, curiously, as I listened because I was ready for anything and at any time. “What kind of situation?” I growled.The driver hesitated as he looked around before speaking up. “There’s been a rumor, boss. A rumor that your rival is making moves, trying to take over our territory.”My eyes narrowed, This was not a threat I took lightly. My rival had been trying to bring me down for years but failed. I’ve always managed to stay one fucking step ahead. But this time, something felt different. This time, I felt like I was walking into a trap, something didn’t just f

Chapter: Chapter 29Elena PovI lay in bed, as I couldn’t get over the shock and confusion that was going on in my mind. I couldn’t believe what had just happened. Dominic of all people, the merciless and cruel man who had taken me from my father without hesitation, had just shown me kindness and compassion.I thought back to our conversation, trying to process everything he had said. He had promised to protect me, to keep me safe from my father’s cruelty.He had told me that he wasn’t a monster, that he was a man who cared about the people around him.But how could that be? I had seen the way he treated his guards, the way he spoke to them with contempt and disdain. I had seen the way he looked at me, like I was nothing more than a goddamn prisoner who had been abandoned by her family. And yet, when he spoke to me just now, his voice was soft and gentle. His eyes were kind and compassionate and portrayed deep affection. It was like he was a different person Entirely. I didn’t know what to make of i

Chapter: Chapter 28Dominic’s PovI walked into Elena’s room, my mind still occupied with the silly and surprising conversation with her father. I had so many questions for her, so many things I wanted to know if she’s willing to open up. And I knew that Elena was the only one who could provide me with the answers I was looking for, I hope so.Elena looked up as I entered, her eyes flashing with a mixture of fear and anger. She was sitting on the bed, her back against the headboard, and she looked like she had been crying for quiet some time.I sat down next to her, my eyes locked on hers. “We need to talk,” I said, with a calm and gentle voice.Elena nodded, her eyes never leaving mine. “About what?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.I took a deep breath, trying to gather my thoughts. “About your father,” I said finally. “is he really your father? Because I don’t know why he would be so willing to sacrifice you for his debt.”Elena’s eyes flashed, and for a moment, I thought I saw a glimmer

Chapter: Chapter 27Dominic’s povI leaned back in my chair, studying Selena’s expression. She was hiding something, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was.“Selena, come on,” I said, trying to convince her into opening up. “We've known each other for years. I can tell when something’s bothering you.”Selena’s expression didn’t change, but I saw a faint glimpse of emotion in her eyes. “Is it Elena?” I asked, my voice low. “Are you jealous of her?” I continued, trying to bring the words out of her mouth.Selena’s eyes flashed, and for a moment, I thought I saw what seemed to look like anger. But then, her expression smoothed out, and she laughed out loud. “Jealous of her?” Selena repeated, her voice dripping with scorn. “Don’t be ridiculous, Dominic. I’m just worried about you and the organization, like I said earlier.”I raised an eyebrow, Selena was a terrible liar, and I knew she was hiding something. But I also knew that pushing her too hard would only make her pretend even further.“Okay, Sele
