“The contract is signed and Inara has been claimed,” Agron said, looking into the camera of his laptop.“That’s good work, Agron. My daughter now fully belongs to you,” Rocco said with a grin.“It took Dominic less time to arrive at my house than you said it would. They’re figuring things out fast and I’m sure Lorenzo Altobella will be dead sooner than you think. I’ve told Dominic everything,” Agron said and leaned back against his seat.“Does Inara think you love her?”Agron grinned. “Of course she does. She gave herself to me willingly. Everything is in place.”Rocco’s hand smoothed over his beard as he nodded his head. “I don’t like that Dominic has an alliance with the Russians. Volkov will fuck us on the gun sales, same with the imports and exports.”“Dominic is not the one you should be worried about, it’s Gage,” Agron said and relayed how Gage had broken into his house without tripping the alarms or alerting his men that had been on watch that night.“Gage? Are you sure? He’s a

Sihana sat in the back of the SUV and looked out at the countryside rushing past her. She didn’t like this. She hated the idea of getting married to some unknown man, a man she had no idea how he would treat her.She was a free human being but because her last name was Makolli, she was being traded like cattle. To make matters worse, this man was half Italian. She’d always thought she’d marry someone of her choice.When her parents had died when she was sixteen, Agron had just turned eighteen, and he’d taken over looking after her and Endrit. He’d had to grow up and be the man of the house. She would always be thankful for what he’d done but she still hated this.Her family had never been rich, in fact, they’d come here from Albania with very little. Her father had opened a small construction company and her mother had worked for him there. Local gangs had ruled the area where they lived and violence was the order of the day.She clenched her eyes shut as the memories spilled into her

Isadora took a deep breath and knocked on Dominic’s office door. She’d made an appointment to see him, not sure that it would be granted but the fact that the appointment hadn’t been canceled gave her hope.The door was opened and Gage smirked at her. “Hello, Isadora.”“Gage,” she said and turned to look at him as he walked past her toward the elevators. She wiped her palms over her skirt and walked into Dominic’s office. He was seated behind his desk, his laptop open and his phone lying next to it. A bottle of water stood on a coaster and she felt nervous suddenly. She hadn’t seen Dominic in so long and he looked good, better than she remembered.“Miss Watkins,” Dominic said and stood up. She hated the formal way he was treating her but she had been the one to walk out.“Hello Dominic, it’s good to see you again.”Dominic remained impassive and once she closed the door behind her, he sat down again. “Is there a problem with Vittori Ads? If so, you should’ve gone to see Eris, not me.

Sihana tightened the robe around her waist and walked out of her bedroom. She’d heard Faro return and curse and she wondered what was going on. Agron had already called her to tell her that their meeting was postponed.She had to sign the contract in Faro’s presence and she now clutched the document in her hand as she walked towards his bedroom. The door was open and she took a deep breath before she knocked on the door.Faro appeared from the bathroom, a towel around his waist and Sihana looked down. He was well built and his suits didn’t do him any justice. She swallowed nervously and looked up. Faro was standing right in front of her now.“What do you want?” he asked her.“I still need to sign the contract in your presence,” she said softly, taken aback by the anger and resentment in his eyes.“Fine,” Faro said and turned around. He walked to a desk situated in one corner of his bedroom and picked up a pen. He turned towards her and held it out. “Sign the fucking thing so we can ge

Faro groaned and blinked his eyes as the bright sunlight burned his retinas. He clutched his head and rolled to the side of the bed and sat up straight. How much did he drink last night? He had no idea but his head was pounding.Faro staggered to the bathroom and he gritted his teeth as he switched the water of the shower on. He brushed his teeth while he waited for the water to heat up and gagged a few times. He felt like shit and the previous night was a blank.Faro showered and stood under the steaming heat of the shower spray until he felt marginally better. He frowned as he washed himself and saw the blood coating his dick. He switched the water off and stuck his head out of the shower stall and grabbed a towel. His head was still pounding as he dried his hair with another towel.He looked up and stumbled backwards as Gage stood right in front of him. Gage’s hand curled around his throat and his fist drove the air from his lungs as it connected with his gut. Faro grunted in pain

Dominic ran down the long driveway pulling the t-shirt over his head. His breath formed white clouds of smoke and his bare feet hardly made any sound on the paved road as he ran. His men tried keeping up with him, but his adrenaline and rage fueled him.Two men stood near the gate and Dominic pushed through them and skidded to a stop on his knees. He took in the scene in front of him but his brain couldn’t focus enough for him to believe it.“Fuck,” Hudson whispered as he knelt next to him.Dominic picked Eris up and cradled him against his chest. Blood stained Dominic’s white t-shirt and his shoulders heaved as he let out an anguished scream. Hands touched his shoulders but he barely registered it.He kept holding on to Eris’s broken body as he cried and a rage so primal settled inside his soul. “I’ll find them, Eris, I’ll find whoever did this to you. They’re fucking dead.”Sirens wailed in the distance and within minutes the flashing blue and red lights broke the darkness of the st

Gage walked into the church and sat down in the front row and bent his head, closing his eyes and clasping his hands together. To any other person he would like a man deep in prayer, but Gage was waiting.He glanced up at the sound of the confessional box’s door opening and he watched the woman as she dabbed at her eyes with a handkerchief and walked past him. He waited another five seconds before getting up.Gage closed the door behind him and settled into the shadows of the confessional box. The partition was opened and he could make out the priest’s features. “In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been five weeks since my last confession. My sins are lust.”“Your penance is to pray the Act of Contrition, my child.”“That is not my only sin, Father,” Gage said.“What other sins are you guilty of?”“Where do I start, Father. I lusted after this woman and I fucked her hard on my kitchen counter. I couldn’t help my

Dominic undressed in his bathroom and climbed into the steaming shower. He lowered his head under the spray of water and exhaled loudly. He worried about Gage. Killing Alejandro was one thing, but Eris’ murder might be the cause of Gage leaving a fucking bloodbath in his wake.Dominic looked up and frowned. His toiletries were all gone. “Rafi!” Dominic yelled as he stuck his head out of the shower.Rafaella appeared in the open doorway and looked questioningly at him. “Yes?”“Where the fuck are my toiletries?”“In the trash,” she said and smiled. “The new bottles are labeled.” With that said, she turned around and left the bathroom.Dominic chuckled and picked up his new body wash. It had a woodsy and citrus smell with something he didn’t recognize, but he liked the scent.His shampoo and conditioner smelled like mint and he frowned as he looked at the facewash. “Use the facewash!” Rafaella yelled from the bedroom and he huffed out a laugh.Dominic finished his shower and dried off in

The sniper teams had dealt with the men sent to the house so swiftly that Rafaella hadn’t even known it had happened. Hudson had given them the all clear and she’d asked about Dominic first.“He’s fine, Rafi, I spoke to Cooper, they’re all fine,” Hudson said.“Then this is the perfect time for us to leave,” she said.“You got what you need?” Hudson asked her.“Yes. Let’s go before they know we’re gone,” Rafaella said.Hudson led Rafaella out of the house and into the garage. He took the smaller SUV and they sped away from the house. The other men were busy dealing with the dead bodies and the women were all safely in their quarters.“You did everything I asked?”Hudson looked at Rafaella in the rearview mirror. “I did.” She nodded her head. “Are you sure you want to do this, Rafi?”“I’ve never been surer of anything in my life, Hudson,” she said as her hands cradled her pregnant stomach.“Dominic’s not going to be happy about this.” She knew Hudson was right. Dominic’s temper was lege

Twenty minutes later, Cooper slowed the SUV down and Gage looked at Dominic. “See you soon, brother.” The door opened and Gage was out of the car. Cooper sped up again the moment the door closed and Dominic could feel everything inside him settle.Tonight everything would end, one way or another.Cooper pulled the SUV up at the specified warehouse. Three men stood outside the door and watched them warily. Their hands reached for their weapons as the doors opened and Dominic climbed out.“Mr. Vittori is waiting inside,” one man said.The other two men stepped closer to them and started patting them down. Dominic had expected it and neither he nor Cooper were armed. Ethan had been somewhere on a rooftop since the sun set with his sniper rifle and he’d start taking the men out when Gage gave him the signal.Dominic walked into the warehouse first, Cooper following close behind him. He hadn’t liked the idea of bringing any of his men with him, but they’d argued and Cooper had told him tha

Sniper teams were waiting at the compound, Agron’s house and Dominic’s country house. Each woman had three men with her and security at Dominic’s house had been doubled. Austin and Hudson were in strategic places on the ground floor of the house.Dominic sat in the rear while Cooper drove the SUV and Gage sat next to Dominic. He had his head resting on the headrest with his eyes closed and Dominic had no idea how he remained so impassive.The trip to the warehouse took them forty-five minutes and Dominic was itching for a fight. He wanted to feel his knuckles split open on Rocco’s face and see the fucking bastard bleed. He could even feel it in the tightening of his groin.“I get it now,” Dominic said.Gage opened his eyes and turned to look at him. “Get what?”Dominic chuckled. “I get why Hudson gets aroused by blood.”“Fuck,” Cooper muttered from the front and Gage laughed.“I’ve always been aroused by it. I just hide it better than Hudson,” Gage said.“There’s a difference between

Gage’s eyes snapped open as a door opened on the far side of the building. He’d been in the ceiling for two days, waiting for the perfect moment. The plan was a fucking good one, even he could admit it.They’d spent three weeks going over the details. For the first time in their history, three crime families were working together to take out the godfather of la famiglia. Rocco Vittori had surrounded himself with soldiers.It was a good thing that he was afraid, because Gage was pissed off and his patience was wearing thin. He wanted Rocco’s blood so much that he could taste and smell it. The women were at the country house, being watched by their men.Dominic would take Cooper with him, Lev would take Sasha and Agron would have Granit with him. Gage worked alone, he didn’t need back-up, he was first in line, back-up and the middle man.Gage closed his eyes again and listened intently as footsteps neared the office. “All I’m saying is, tonight’s meeting with Dominic will end in blood.”

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me!” Dominic growled. The documents in front of him told the same story Faro just did, but he didn’t want to believe it. He was pissed that Eris kept his problems to himself.Dominic would have helped him, he’d always help all of them, blood was blood and they were bound by it. They all had the middle name ‘Rose’ for a reason. It was their mother’s maiden name and for them it was as strong as the blood that made them family.Faro sat in the chair in front of his desk, the proof spread out over his desk. Fucking Eris. “Sihana found it. She said he was broke, Dominic. He had a few grand in his account, the others were empty.”“Drugs. That’s the only explanation,” Dominic said, sounding a lot calmer. No matter how angry he felt now, Eris would always remain his brother, even in death. He should’ve seen the signs of Eris’s freefalling earlier, but he hadn’t, Faro had.He also blamed himself. If his relationship with Eris had been better, he might have bee

Sihana woke up to light kisses on her bare shoulder. She shifted onto her back and looked at Faro’s face. His hair was tousled and she could see it was still dark out. “What’s wrong?” Her voice was thick from sleep and she cleared her throat.“Why did you leave?” Faro’s voice was soft but he sounded wide awake.“Because you were being an asshole and I wanted to sleep peacefully,” Sihana said and turned away from him.Faro moved up right against her. “You know how I feel about waking up without you. It’s our bed for a reason.”“Then don’t be an asshole to me right before you go to sleep,” she said.“I wasn’t being an asshole. I just disagreed with you,” Faro said.“The truth is still the truth, you’re not a bookkeeper, I am. Eris was skimming money from the strip clubs. I showed you the proof,” Sihana said. “You have to tell Dominic.”“Fuck, Sihana. Do you have any idea what that’s going to do to him?”Faro’s arm snaked over her hip and his hand cradled her stomach. She felt sorry for

Inara clamped her hand over her mouth and retreated away from the kitchen. Her heart was thudding loudly in her chest. She’d woken up half an hour earlier and pulled on her robe, wondering where Agron was.He never left without waking her and she’d gone downstairs for some water when she’d overheard something that might get her killed. She took a deep breath and quietly made her way upstairs again and slid back into bed.By the time Agron joined her, she had her eyes closed and her heart had stopped betraying her. She tried not to stiffen when his arm encircled her waist and his mouth nuzzled her neck. She felt like an idiot. Agron had played her, had played her whole family and it was all her fault.She must have fallen asleep at some point because the sun’s rays woke her and Agron was still wrapped around her. She hated the fact that she’d given herself to him willingly. Hated that she’d fallen in love with him.She understood the saying better now, there really was a fine line betw

The trial had dragged on for two more weeks and Dominic was glad that the end was in sight. The jury was deliberating the outcome but he wasn’t focused on that anymore. They were back in the city and headed to Rafaella’s gynecologist.Hudson had accompanied her to her other appointments while he was stuck in court and they’d decided to wait until he could be with her to find out the genders of their babies. Dominic couldn’t remember a time he’d been more excited about something.“Mrs. Vittori?” The nurse called out their name, and Dominic stood up to help Rafaella to her feet.Dominic had his hand on the small of Rafaella’s back as the nurse led them down a hallway and into an examination room. She took Rafaella’s blood pressure and made notes on the chart for the doctor.“You can get comfortable on the examination bed with your shirt up. Dr. Rehmeyer will be in shortly,” the nurse said and left the room.“After this trial, I think we should go away for a bit, someplace you can relax,

Isadora had taken the stand and sworn to tell the whole truth. Dominic’s rage flared up again the moment she opened her mouth and started lying. He knew Halden had coached her. The things she was testifying to hadn’t been made public knowledge and he’d never said a word to her about it.It took all his self-control not to lash out at her or call her a lying whore in front of the whole courtroom. She was a woman scorned but Dominic could see himself wrapping his hands around her neck and choking the life out of her. He could almost understand Hudson’s fascination with it.Mitchelson stood up with a stoic look on his face. “Miss Watkins, would you say that you were close to Mr. Vittori during your relationship?”“Yes,” Isadora said. “We were very close.”“Mr. Vittori shared things with you, personal things?”Isadora shifted in her seat. “Yes.”“Can you tell the court what the name of Vittori Ads’ sister company in Japan is named?”Isadora blinked and Dominic’s lips twitched but he fough
