Chapter: Chapter 47: Breakdown Emily Pov I was fuming after I hung up the call on Dominic. I wasn't sure if I had done the right thing by letting out how I felt. But at that moment I was convinced that I had to let him know that I wasn't scared of him and that I was no longer under his spell. I paced up and down the room furiously. I felt betrayed by everyone and I needed to come up with a plot on how to bring Adam and Dominic to their knees. I was done being used by them. I wasn't going to be a puppet in their silly little games anymore. But at the moment, nothing was coming to my mind on how to put my plan in motion. I felt trapped in my own mind. It felt like my mind was going to explode. My heart was rising rapidly. Frustratedly I screamed, throwing things across the room. Daniella rushed out of the bathroom in awe to see the scene unfolding in front of her. I didn't pay any attention to her as she tried moving closer to me, “Calm down Emily, what's the matter? She said as she moved towards me. But I st

Chapter: Chapter 46: Used Dominic Pov “You have betrayed me yet again, Emily”, I said, breaking the silence from my end. She was quiet immediately after I spoke, and I knew she was in shock that I had called her. I had to use an unknown number with a burner phone because I didn't want to risk my location being found. I couldn't trust Emily anymore so I had to take precautions. We had arrived at a safe house which Barry had prepared before embarking on my rescue. We couldn't leave the city yet because it was flooded with the CIA, DEA and other security intelligence. Me and my gang had been declared wanted and dangerous all over the news, and a bounty had been placed on my head. “I know you can hear me, Emi, say something” I pressured. “At least give me some sort of explanation why you looked me in the eyes and fucked me up the second time” I lashed out infuriatedly. “I don't owe you any explanation, Dominic, or have you forgotten that I am a cop, and my job is to make sure that criminals like you are bro

Chapter: Chapter 45: Caller Emily Pov After we had left my appointment, we drove to a motel. I paid for a room with cash. I had stopped by the Atm, which was in the opposite direction from the motel, to withdraw some money. I didn't want our location to be tracked. It was already dark and I was feeding exhausted from all that had happened. Daniella didn't say a word all through the trip which I found unusual. She had gone to take a shower while I just sat on the bed deep in my thoughts. I combed through my mind on how to come out of the problems I was facing. I had made myself an enemy of a deadly mafia group. I could no longer depend on the security intelligence to watch my back. I had now become a fugitive. ‘How did things play out this way? My father's killer ‘Dominic’ is out there on the street….. Back to running his illegal deals. I couldn't help but reflect on how rash I was in making my decision about betraying Dominic. I could have thought harder about it before agreeing to Adam's plan. I was fu

Chapter: Chapter 44: Friends And Foes Emily Pov Before I came out of the restroom I had taken off my leather jacket and placed my head up in a ponytail. I approached the security at the exit unfazed. I flashed my badge and registered it on the monitor, and the barrier opened, and I walked out. I headed to my car and drove off. I needed to be as far from the office before Lucia would regain her consciousness and alert the security of my act. As I drove I was lost in my thoughts. Now, all hell had been set loose, and I was alone in my world. I had no friends or allies. I had become an enemy of the Mafia and also a fugitive of the law. I drove for a while with no direction, still thinking of a possible solution to help myself. Then I remembered that I had someone now under my care that needed protection. “Daniella,” I muttered to myself, turning the car in the direction of my apartment. I had to act quickly to take her out of the spotlight because I knew for sure that Barry would be coming for me. And Adam already kne

Chapter: Chapter 43: Questioning Emily Pov After Adam called me a traitor and hung up on me. I scanned around the scene, making sure I wasn't being watched, and then I snuck away, fleeing the area before I could be noticed. I rushed to where I parked my car and drove off. I ran my hand through my hair. I knew I was fucked. Now, what, Emily… Fuck… Now what?” I screamed at myself, hitting my hands on the steering wheel. “I am so screwed” I muttered under my breath. Adam blamed the failed operation on me and called me a traitor to national security. I knew what Adam was like, he wasn't going to just sweep this under the rug. He always looked for a scapegoat to blame for all his failures. Only this time I was going to be his scapegoat. Not to talk of Barry breathing down my neck. I knew for sure that Barry would be coming for me, and this time, I was sure that Dominic would be gamed. I needed to find a way out of this mess that I had brought upon myself. I needed to act fast on what to do before the whole th

Chapter: Chapter 42: RageBarry Pov “Sly bitch” I muttered to myself after Emily had hung up on me. I knew something was off after we met with Emily, the plan she had mapped out just seemed surreal to me. She had told us that the transfer was to happen on a low key and that only a few agents knew about it. She was supposed to be on the inside and feed us with more information if there was any. I still couldn't shake up the fact that Lucas had said something about Emily and her plan with the agents to bring us down. I knew Emily wasn't to be trusted because I could always see the slyness and deceitfulness in her from the start; aside from that, I hated her because she was a cop. Dominic wasn't going to listen to my plan if I had told him I had one. I was beginning to lose face with the boss, he didn't trust anything I said anymore just because of how blinded he was by Emily. So I had to keep him in the dark and came up with my plan which I was able to execute with the help of an old pal of mine, Enzo’.
