Chapter: Chapter 75: Walk Away EMILY’S POVLater that night, I could not get myself to sleep. My mind was running with too many thoughts at the same time and what was worse was that Dominic's words kept playing over and over again in my mind. “Whether or not you want to believe it, you are mine.” He said it with so much certainty. I knew there wasn't a single doubt in his mind that I was his. If I was being honest, I could not deny it anymore, I had belonged to him probably from the first time that I laid my eyes on him. But I was scared of the future. I could not take another heartbreak. There had been too many in my life already and I could not handle another one. Giving up on sleep, I rolled out of my bed and decided to take a walk around the estate. It was dark and the whole place was quiet except for the sounds of the wind howling and the tree leaves rustling. I wrapped my arms around myself as the cold air made contact with my skin and I shivered. I grabbed a hoodie from my bed and then slipped it over

Chapter: Chapter 74: I Own You DOMINIC'S POV“How can you agree to give them thirty?” Barry asked after I told him how the meeting went. “I know what I am doing. We are giving them the cheap stuff. To them, it would be like gold. Plus, I want them to think that they have us where they want us. You and I both know that they will still come after us. Luca is never to be trusted.” I told him. “I am glad you know that. He has a reputation for being dishonest, but he is also very dangerous because of how unhinged he is.” It was Ezra who spoke this time. It was one week after the attack and he was in a wheelchair. That didn't stop him from still trying to work, no matter how much the Doctor advised him against it. “We need to be ready for when they attack. Barry, how are things going with the new location, both for the drop-off and the house? I think we should move sooner rather than later.” “Yes, boss. I have a few options, but I am checking them out.” “Well, work faster. We don't have time.” ***The past week ha

Chapter: Chapter 73: FateEMILY’S POV I leaned against the wall and let out a shaky breath as a wave of uncertainty washed over me. I don't know why it had never occurred to me that this was all it would boil down to. Was I really ready to give up my career for a man like Dominic? When I joined the agency, I wanted to do good. I wanted to help people and put away the bad guys, but now, by some sick twist of fate, my heart had chosen to fall for a man who was the leader of all bad guys, a man who had blood on his hands. I believed in what I did, at least I used to. Now it felt like I was being pulled deeper and deeper into Dominic's world to the point that I didn't even know who I was anymore or what I wanted. I ran my fingers through my hair and let out a deep breath. After everything that had happened, could I still go back? Would the FBI even accept me back after they found out where I had been all this while? Even if I wanted to clear my name, just the fact that I was involved with Dominic and the fact t

Chapter: Chapter 72: DOMINIC'S POV“Everything is under control now. The bodies have been disposed of and Ezra has been treated. It would take him a couple of weeks to recover.” Barry informed me. “That's good. We need our men ready for war and we need new recruits. There is no doubt in my mind that the Black Bloods will be coming for us. Plus, we might need to change locations soon before the FBI figures out that the last place Adam came to was here.” I explained to him. Barry nodded in agreement. “I will make all the necessary arrangements, but there is something that I think is important for you to know.” I raised my eyebrows at him. “And what is that?” “A source of mine in the FBI told me that they are starting to snoop around and ask questions about Adam. They have an intuition that Adam came here last, but they don't have evidence. They think he's disappeared. They don't know that he is dead yet."This whole thing with the FBI was very complicated. If they found any evidence against me, I wouldn

Chapter: Chapter 71: Passionate EMILY’S POVI pressed closer to Dominic even after we broke the kiss. There were two parts of me. One part wanted to pull away because of the fear I still felt. All my life, I had done everything by the books. I never dated men who were into anything illegal. They were always upright guys and here I was, falling very fast for the leader of a Mafia Organization. It felt unnatural, but at the same time, it felt right.The second part of me wanted to see where this could go. Maybe I craved the chance to have an adventure and do things differently. The second part of me won as I melted into Dominic's touch. He pressed me closer to him and he kissed my neck. His lips were warm on my skin and it sent an electrical feeling down my spine. His large hands splayed behind my back as he pulled me closer to him. My mind was telling me to pull away, but my body craved Dominic; with each touch, heat pulled in between my legs, and all I could think about was him. Nothing else mattered. “Don't think

Chapter: Chapter 70: Desire DOMINIC'S POV Emily brushed her fingers gently on my bruised cheek from where Adam had hit me. “You have to be more careful.” She said in a whisper. She shook her head as she continued to take care of the injuries on my face. Her lips were pressed into a thin line and I knew she was not happy about what I had just said. “I will be more careful,” I told her to ease her mind, but she was not buying it. “I am being serious. All of this is not an adventure. You could get killed. What would happen to Anita if something happened to you? She's already lost her mother; she can't lose you, too. One day your plan might fail and—” she dropped her hands from my face and looked away from me. “I'll make sure that never happens. My plans will never fail. Plus you should already know this about me… I don't lose.” “I don't know why I waste my breath on you. You're impossible.” She muttered as she poured some antiseptic onto a ball of cotton. “Like you don't find that charming.” I teased her wan
