Dominic’s POV

We moved in quietly, our steps light against the wooden floor. The house smelled of dampness and old cigarette smoke.

As soon as we stepped inside, I saw her.

She was sitting in a chair, her hands tied, her face pale but alert. The moment our eyes met, she froze.

I could see the relief in her eyes, but also the fear. If she reacted, Patrick would notice. I quickly lifted a finger to my lips, signaling her to stay calm.

Aurora’s lips pressed together, and she barely nodded. She understood.

Patrick was standing a few feet away, his back turned as he spoke to Isabella.

"This is taking too long," Isabella snapped. "Joanna should be here by now!"

Patrick sighed. "She’ll come. She has no choice."

I glanced at my men. One wrong move, and Aurora could get hurt.

I didn’t waste time.

With one swift motion, I pulled out my gun and aimed it directly at Isabella and Patrick.

"Don’t. Move." My voice was cold, steady.

They froze. Shock flashed across their faces. Isabella’s mouth opene

He exhaled sharply, then turned to his men. “Take him to the hospital. Now.”Two of his men moved forward, carefully lifting Dominic. He groaned in pain but didn’t fight them. I could see how much it took for him to stay conscious.Leo’s cold eyes flickered toward me. “You, stay here.”Panic surged through me. “No! I’m going with him!”He raised a hand, silencing me. “He’ll be taken care of. But we’re not done yet.”I swallowed hard, my heart hammering in my chest.Leo turned to the rest of his men, his voice low but sharp as a knife.“Find Joanna. Bring her to me. I don’t care what it takes.”The air in the room felt suffocating. I could barely breathe.The drive to the hospital felt like a blur.

  • Deadly Affair with My Brother In-Law    Chapter 1

    Aurora POV The dark room was thick with sultry tension; the faint glow from the bedside lamp cast long shadows. I lay sprawled on the bed, defenseless in the heady mix of alcohol and forbidden emotions.The man standing by the edge of the bed unbuttoned his shirt, piercing eyes fixed on me. My vision blurred, but I knew him—my brother-in-law. The very thought should have stopped me, but it didn't.He leaned down, his lips warm and gentle against mine. My breath caught as his kisses became more passionate, his hands leaving trails of fire up and down my arms. Instinctively, my fingers made their way around his back, skimming along skin as I drew him near. His weight leaned against mine, a low sigh escaping from me at his nearness.Six Hours Earlier"I miss you, Dad," I whispered to the void, my hands clamped on the edge of the vanity as silent sobs fell down my cheeks. My hollow, defeated reflection stared back. Before I could wipe them away, clear footsteps sounded from the hall, fol

  • Deadly Affair with My Brother In-Law    Chapter 2: A Night of Affairs

    "Dominic?"I clung to him as he carried me out of the inferno, his strength unwavering. The fresh air hit my face as we exited the house, but he didn't stop. He kept walking, his jaw clenched and his eyes dark."Where are we going?" I murmured, my voice slurred.He didn't reply, his eyes razor sharp as he pulled me through the estate grounds to some hidden corner of it. We came into an old guest cottage, moonlight providing dim illumination inside the space.And that was when I saw it.Through the half-open door of the master bedroom, Patrick and Eva were entwined on the bed.My breath hitched on the scene that greeted me: Eva's arms wreathed around Patrick's neck, her lips pressed to his in a fevered kiss. Patrick's hands roamed over her body; there was no misunderstanding their intimacy.Dominic tensed beside me. His fists clenched at his sides. "So that's how it is," he growled low, an edge of disdain in his voice.I pulled him back before they could notice us, my heart hammering in

  • Deadly Affair with My Brother In-Law    Chapter 3: A Dangerous Invitation

    Aurora had been really cautious while leaving her room. She looked down the hall to make sure no one was around. The cool evening air kissed her skin as she stepped out of the house, her heart beating rapidly. She clutched her purse tightly, her mind preoccupied with Dominic's invitation.But what she did not know was that Patrick had become suspicious. Ever since their confrontation, he had this nagging feeling that Aurora was hiding something—or someone. So he sent one of his most trusted men, Caleb, to follow her.Caleb, a shadow in the night, trailed her silently. He was an expert at remaining unseen, blending into the darkness as Aurora made her way to Dominic's house.Aurora stood outside Dominic’s house, her hand hesitating over the doorbell. She had spent the entire day debating whether she should come. The memory of his lips on hers and the way his touch left traces of fire on her skin made her heart race—but the risk of being discovered made her stomach churn.Before she coul

  • Deadly Affair with My Brother In-Law    Chapter 4:The Romance

    Aurora's POVDinner with Dominic had always been dangerous, not because of what he cooked, but because of what he made me feel. I knew I shouldn't have gone to his house; it was reckless at the time, given the circumstances. However, this pull between us was irresistible.I watched him move about the kitchen, his broad shoulders flexing beneath his white shirt. The sight sent my pulse racing, and I looked quickly away, pretending to study the glass of wine in my hand."You're quiet tonight," Dominic said, his deep voice wrapping around me like a warm blanket."Just… thinking," I replied, trying to sound casual.His lips kicked up into a smirk as he leaned against the counter. "Thinking about me, I hope?"I rolled my eyes, but my cheeks betrayed me, heating under his gaze. "You wish."He crossed the room in two strides and suddenly overwhelmed me. Dominic always had this effect on me-like he could see right through to the walls I'd built around myself."Come here," he said low, taking

    Aurora POV Dominic set the pancake down, his hands finding my waist again. "I do," he admitted softly.The kiss deepened, and before we knew it, we were lost in each other again. There was the aroma of fresh coffee and pancakes wafting from the kitchen, but my senses reached out for him alone: his hands, clutching me as if I were some sort of treasure; his lips against mine, passionate yet so soft.We were so caught up in each other that we hadn't heard the knock on the door until it became pounding."Dominic!" a voice yelled from the other side.We parted, both of us panting. Dominic's jaw clenched, and he turned to the door."Stay here," he said, his voice brooking no argument."Who is it?" I asked, my heart racing now for an entirely different reason."Probably someone who doesn't need to be in here," Dominic muttered, marching toward the door.As he opened it, I caught a glimpse of a man in a suit, looking grave. My stomach twirled with apprehension."Mr. Dominic, we need to talk,

    The Ride to Mail Aurora's POV: By the time we finally emerged from the shower, the water was lukewarm; our bodies were wrapped more in each other's warmth than the heat of the water. Dominic wrapped a fluffy towel around my shoulders, his hands staying awhile as he dried me off."You're spoiled, you know that?" I teased, watching his every move as he moved to towel himself off."And you're worth it," he replied, flashing me a grin that sent a flutter through my chest.I shook my head, feeling a mixed sense of warmth and nervousness. The intimacy between them was so natural, yet it bothered me how much I began relying on it.Once we were dry, Dominic handed me one of his shirts. It was huge on me, but his scent wrapped around me like a blanket. "Here," he said, holding out a pair of sweats. "Until you're dressed, this'll do.I took the clothes, sliding them on as he drew on casual attire himself-fitted jeans and a crisp white shirt that outlined his physique. The sight was enough to

    Aurora's POVDominic's arms constricted around me as if he could feel my hesitation. "You don't have to go back," he said, his voice muffled against my hair.I shut my eyes, letting the warmth of his arms enfold me. "I have to," I whispered. "If I don't, they'll start looking for me. It'll only make things worse."He pulled back just enough to peer into my eyes. "They'll never hurt you, Aurora. Not while I'm here."I smiled wryly, moved by his vehemence, but we both knew I couldn't hide forever. With a reluctant nod, I pulled away and reached for my bag. Dominic followed me to the door, his gaze burning into my back like a silent promise."I'll call you," I said softly, stepping outside."You'd better," he replied-the tone half-teasing, half-serious.The car Patrick had sent for me was already waiting in the driveway. I slipped into the backseat, avoiding the driver's curious glance, and leaned back as the car pulled away.The drive was uneventful, but my mind was anything but quiet.

    Dominic’s POVI stared at the flash drive in my hand, my grip tightening. How could I be sure this was the real evidence? Patrick was a snake, I wouldn’t put it past him to hand me something useless just to trap me."How do I know this is real?" I asked, my voice low and dangerous.Patrick smirked, his confidence irritating me. "You don’t. But do you really have a choice, Dominic?"Before I could say another word, a weak but urgent voice cut through the tension."Dominic, don’t trust him!"My entire body froze. My eyes snapped to Aurora, who was still tied to the chair. Her lips were dry, and her eyes were filled with desperation.Patrick cursed under his breath, moving toward her, but I lifted my gun, stopping him in his tracks."What did you just say?" I asked Aurora.Patrick clenched his jaw and glared at her, but the moment he released the cloth gagging her mouth, Aurora gasped for air and spoke again, this time stronger."Dominic, that’s not the real flash drive!

His gaze shifted to Aurora. "Joanna is on her way here," Patrick said, a wicked smirk curling on his lips. "And she’s bringing Dominic’s baby with her."I froze, my breath catching for a moment. Dominic’s baby? I hadn’t expected that.Patrick chuckled, clearly enjoying my shock. "The moment she arrives with the child, Dominic will have no choice but to give up everything for me. His power, his wealth, his loyalty, everything."I narrowed my eyes, stepping closer. "Are you saying you plan to trade his own child for his empire?"Patrick shrugged. "Why not? Dominic isn’t stupid. He’ll do anything to protect what’s his. And if it means bending to my will, he’ll do it."I crossed my arms, watching him carefully. "And what if he refuses?

Joanna and I clashed again, our hands grabbing, pushing, and striking at each other like wild animals.She lunged at me, her nails clawing at my face, but I ducked just in time. My fist connected with her stomach, making her stumble back with a sharp gasp."You witch!" she spat, her eyes filled with pure hatred.I didn’t waste a second. I spun around and grabbed the baby from the bed, holding the child close to my chest. My heart was racing.I needed to get out. Now.Joanna must have realized what I was trying to do because she let out a furious scream and charged at me again. I turned my back, shielding the baby, and felt her nails scrape against my arm, trying to pull me back."You're not leaving with that baby!" she shrieked.I kicked backward blindly, my foot slamming into her leg.

You stole my inheritance, destroyed our family, and left me with nothing! You kept me away from Aurora, my own daughter, for years! And now you want to take her child too?” She shook her head furiously. “I will never let you have my grandchild!”I sighed, tilting my head. “You always did have a way of making yourself the victim, didn’t you?”Julie’s face twisted with anger. “You are the reason for everything! You lied, manipulated, and ruined my life. You wanted me gone, and you got what you wanted. But I won’t let you win this time.

    Dominic’s POVMy hands tightened around the steering wheel as I drove through the dark streets, the city lights flickering past like ghosts. My mind was racing, my chest tight with fear.Aurora’s signal had led me here, to Patrick’s old office building, not to the address he had given me.I knew Patrick. He was a snake. A master of deception. He wanted me to go to the wrong place while he did whatever sick thing he had planned.The tracking device on Aurora’s phone had been steady for the past few minutes, but then…“Sir, the tracking has stopped.”My heart slammed against my ribs.“What?” I barked, gripping the wheel tighter.“The signal just cut off. It’s gone.”Damn it.I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to stay calm. This wasn’t a coincidence. Patrick was covering his tracks. He must have found out Aurora had a tracker.I inhaled sharply, pushing down the wave of panic rising inside me.I couldn't afford to lose focus now."We’re still going to that building."
