A wedding to the enemy

That was what this was, that was what I had convinced myself it was.

Dominic hadn't forgotten me; he was, in fact, coming to get me. I reminded myself of this as I stood in front of the mirror, gazing at my reflection, a veil draped over my face. My heart raced so fast that I felt overwhelmed with fear, which nearly paralyzed me.

“You’re ready now,” Lily whispered, and at that moment, a tear rolled down my cheek. Lily's eyes widened as she reached forward, pulling the veil over my head as if to shield me from the designers bustling around the room.

“Pull yourself together,” she snapped suddenly in a low tone, all while maintaining a smile. I knew she was trying to keep it together and wanted me to act like everything was fine.

I couldn't afford to be seen crying; it could send the wrong message to the public and infuriate Ivan in the process.

“We need to leave now; they are asking for a bride,” one of the ladies announced.

Lily took my hands as we stepped out of

    Chapter Dominic PovThe day of the wedding arrived, and I was expected to marry her in a traditional manner.I could tell she was angry with me for turning her down, yet she proceeded with the ceremony regardless.That night, a grand feast took place, and my men mingled with the Mexicans. I noticed that while they were enjoying themselves, drinking and playing games, there was a lingering sense of homesickness among them. Many had families they had left behind, some of whom Vincent was threatening.I despised these feelings of helplessness, and I realized I needed to step up my game.After the wedding, I planned to make my move. Vincent might hold the family title with the approval of the mafia elders, but the men remained loyal to me.This loyalty would make it easier to take power from him.“Let’s raise a toast to the newlyweds as they consummate their marriage tonight,” Valentina exclaimed, lifting her glass of wine high.A shiver ran down my spine as I understood the implications

    Charissa PovDominic entered like he owned the place, commanding attention from everyone around him. The atmosphere shifted as he walked in, elegance radiating from his presence. I stood there, watching Vincent's expression morph from amusement to sheer horror. My own shock mirrored his; my heart raced as I caught sight of him. His hair was tied back as usual, and his eyes scanned the room, searching for something until they finally landed on me. He gazed at me with a sense of longing, and for a moment, it felt like we were the only two people in the room, the rest of the hall holding its breath. I yearned to rush into his arms, but I knew that would only stir up trouble, and it might not end well for me.“What are you doing here?” A loud voice broke the moment, and I turned to see Ivan striding toward Dominic, his expression a mix of anger and frustration. The tension in the room was palpable; everyone felt it too.The atmosphere buzzed with chatter, a low hum typical of any grand

    Dominic POVSince my encounters with Valentina, she had stopped bothering me. I paid little attention to her daughter, who constantly complained about needing attention while I focused on the Mexican mafia. It turned out there were enough corrupt activities happening that Valentina was unaware of, and it was my responsibility to expose them.Although we didn't communicate, I could see the gratitude in her eyes whenever we passed each other.I was in the middle of a conversation with one of the men when Aiden rushed in, clearly agitated, and I sensed something was off."What's wrong?" I asked, and he gestured for the others to leave us."Ivan is holding another wedding ceremony," he blurted out. I scoffed; it didn't surprise me. I understood his intentions—he was sending a message, one I was determined to respond to."Did we receive an invitation?" I inquired."No, it turns out he forgot," Aiden replied."Good, it looks like we'll have to crash the party," I said. All I wanted was to s

    Charissa PovHis speech came across as if he had just emerged victorious from a battle, and I realized he was only trying to provoke Dominic. To him, this was merely a competition, and he believed he had triumphed.The reality was that he couldn't compel me to love him, regardless of his efforts, as my heart belonged to someone else—never to him.As soon as he released my hands, I tried to leave, but he stopped me.“What do you think you're doing?” he asked, his teeth clenched as he struggled to maintain a calm facade for the crowd. All I wanted was to scream that I needed to escape from him. “I'm just going to freshen up in the restroom,” I mumbled, averting my gaze from him to find Dominic's eyes fixed on me.“Make it quick; I want you by my side tonight,” he commanded, and I walked toward the bathroom. As I stepped out of the party hall, I took a deep breath and saw Lily beside me.“Hey, Ivan asked me to keep an eye on you,” she said, and I offered her a brief smile.“Thanks,” I

    Charissa POVI could tell how furious Ivan was by the way he moved; the smile on his face looked forced, and I couldn't help but take pleasure in his displeasure.Even though Dominic and I hadn't exchanged any words yet, I felt a sense of joy at his presence. It warmed my heart, and knowing that Ivan couldn't harm him made me even happier.“When the dance is finished, we’re leaving,” Ivan told me, despite the wide smile on his face. I could still see that he was angry. If I hadn't interrupted earlier, he and Dominic would likely have been fighting by now.“Why? It’s a wedding, and I haven’t had a chance to speak with the guests,” I replied as he spun me around. Couples danced around us, and I noticed him struggling to keep his composure.“You will do as I say, and I don’t want to hear any objections,” he snapped quietly, his gaze darting to Dominic, who was chatting with some men but was clearly focused on me. I could see how much this upset Ivan, and I knew he just wanted to keep me

    Third povThe wedding guest was filled with tension; some had fled the party to avoid being caught in a violent confrontation. The curious ones remained, eager to spread the news about the three rival Mafia lords who were intent on tearing each other apart. Everyone could sense the tension in the air as soon as Dominic entered. Anger and rage surged in Ivan and Vincent's hearts at the sight of him. After all, everyone knew that Dominic was not one to shy away from trouble. His arrival here had earned him a great deal of respect from the men for his fearlessness. No one truly knew the backstory involving the three dons, but everyone was aware that it all revolved around one woman: Clarissa. The guests were well aware of Dominic's recent theft of the bride less than three months ago, and now she was officially married to Ivan. Everyone noticed the way Dominic looked at the bride, unashamed despite the eyes on him. Vincent lurked in the corner, watching his cousin, who didn’t even

It was here—the culmination of weeks of patience, planning, and silent rage. The satisfaction coursing through me was almost euphoric. I turned and strode forward, my boots crunching on the gravel beneath my feet. Behind me, Aiden followed like a loyal shadow. “How are they?” I asked over my shoulder, my voice calm but edged with the cold curiosity that came naturally to me now. He didn’t miss a beat, smirking as he responded. “Scared. Just like you wanted them to be.” “Good,” I muttered. That single word was enough to convey how I felt. The tension in the air was almost palpable as I entered the garden. The soft scent of jasmine and damp soil wafted through the air, but I barely noticed it. My attention was locked on the group of men standing ahead.

    “Aiden,” I said, glancing back at him. “See them out. Ensure they leave with a reminder of what happens when loyalty falters.”“Yes, Don,” Aiden replied with a sharp nod, his grin broadening.“Wait!” Nas shouted, panic evident in his voice. He rushed forward, still on his knees, hands reaching out in desperation. “Don, please. We’ve risked everything to come here. You have to trust us!” he pleaded.I turned to face him, his presence making me feel nauseous. He was right there when I was cast out of the mafia, watching as I was thrown out of what I had dedicated my life to build, and he did nothing. I was certain Vincent couldn't give them the attention they needed, which was likely why they had come back to me, seeking my help to restore what had been lost. He was like a snake.I turned slowly, my expression icy as I locked eyes with him. “Believe you?” I echoed, my voice dripping with contempt. “You expect me to trust the same men who stood by while I was hunted, the same men who tar

    Dominic squeezed the trigger, and the silencer did an excellent job of concealing the sound, preventing the men from realizing that their leader had been shot.For a brief moment, I feared he had killed her—that Valentina was lifeless. However, as she fell to the ground, clutching her shoulder, it became clear that he hadn’t delivered a fatal shot. He had only wounded her, just enough to ensure her survival but render her unable to defend herself.Initially, I thought his plan was foolish, but I placed my trust in him. He had used her to help us escape, a feat that had seemed impossible just moments ago. I had nearly lost hope of ever being alive or seeing my son again, but he made it a reality.We were finally safe.Dominic approached me, his dark eyes searching my face before he enveloped us both in his strong, steady embrace.

    After my confrontation with both of them, theydraged me toward a van. My head throbbed, and my vision was blurry, but I could still make out the figures around me. Someone yanked the gun from my grasp as I was shoved into an SUV. Vincent drove, and Camila sat beside me. The sight of her still wearing Clarissa’s dress pissed me off. It was like she was mocking me—mocking us. No one spoke. The air was thick with tension, but I could feel Vincent’s anger radiating off him. I knew exactly why. The words I had said to him earlier still lingered in his mind, cutting deep. As for Camila, she was so rattled that she casually dropped the gun on the seat beside her and turned to stare out the window. It was a careless mistake, and I took full advantage of it. Swiftly, without drawing attention, I palmed the gun. By the time we arrived at the warehouse, my mind was sharp, my pulse steady. As soon as the SUV came to a stop, I opened the door and stepped out. Camila followed, but before

    The air grew heavy with tension. My heart pounded as the door swung open again, and Dominic stepped inside. His dark eyes scanned the room, landing on me.

    My wrists ached from the tight bonds cutting into my skin. My eyes were blindfolded, leaving me in a world of darkness. But I wasn’t alone. There was someone in front of me—singing. A soft, haunting tune. The voice was feminine, sultry, and laced with amusement. I knew it wa sher singing , tauting me.I shifted slightly, testing my restraints. Rope. Tight. No way out. My pulse pounded as I forced myself to breathe evenly. Panicking wouldn’t help me now. "You know," Valentina said, her voice smooth as silk, "I once loved a man."she started. My body stiffened. "I loved him so much, but then I realized men are shit, one moment they love ou and the next the cheat on ou with another woman" She chuckled, a dark, humorless sound. "People are shit." My jaw clenched. I didn’t respond. "I grew to become the only Donna in my county—a female one. And to hold power, I had to be ruthless. There was no room for softness, no space for love." The blindfold was suddenly ripped from my face

    Dominic POVI stared at Vincent, whose eyes gleamed with unrestrained greed. He wanted the empire I held—no, he craved it. It wasn’t just about power; it was about proving he was better than me, that he could tear down everything I built and reshape it in his image. I smirked. “This is your idea, isn’t it? This power struggle?” My voice carried amusement, but beneath it lay a sharp edge. Vincent frowned, his lips pressing into a tight line. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he snapped, his tone impatient, defensive. I stepped closer, my gaze never leaving his. “You held the empire for a week—just a week, Vincent—and in that time, everything our family worked so hard to build collapsed.” I let the words sink in, watching the flicker of irritation in his expression. “Now you want it again? To destroy everything and hand it over to these foreigners? Do you really think they’ll let you rule? No, Vincent, they’ll make you their puppet, and you’ll be dancing to their tune fo

    Dominic POVI drove like a madman. The engine roared beneath my grip as I pushed the car to its limits, weaving through traffic without care for rules or consequences. My men followed close behind, their headlights flashing in the rearview mirror as they ignored every law in existence just to keep up. I didn't care about the chaos we left behind. The only thing that mattered was her. My hands tightened on the steering wheel, my knuckles turning white. The thought of something happening to her, of losing her forever, made my chest tighten with unbearable fear. I had made a deal with that Mexican witch to take Ivan down, to regain the power that had been stripped from me—but now, the cost was staring me in the face. I should have known it wouldn’t be that simple. But i was deperate , deperate to have her as mine.The mansion came into view, its towering structure bathed in the cold moonlight.

    I stood there, frozen. My breath hitched in my throat, my body locked in place as fear coursed through my veins. The world around me seemed to blur, the sounds distant and muffled, as if I had been submerged underwater. Panic tightened around my chest, squeezing the air from my lungs. "Miss, we need to go!" Elise’s urgent voice cut through the fog of my fear. I snapped back to reality, my wide eyes meeting hers. She was staring at me, her expression filled with alarm. "Now!" she urged, grabbing my wrist. I turned on my heel and ran, my heart pounding against my ribs. Panic took over, and my mind swirled with the worst possibilities. The thought that Harper had been killed, that she was gone, clawed at my sanity. She had been my enemy once, but despite everything, I loved her. No matter what had happened between us, losing her wasn’t something I could bear. Tears blurred my vision as I stepped outside, the cool air hitting my damp face. But I didn’t get far. I stopped dead.
