Deadly Affair with My Brother In-Law Chapter 32
Dominic's POVI carefully lifted Aurora from the couch, cradling her in my arms as she stirred slightly but didn’t wake. Her soft breaths brushed against my neck, and I felt a deep sense of protectiveness. I carried her to our bedroom, gently laying her down on the bed and pulling the covers over her. She looked so peaceful, and for a moment, I just stood there, watching her sleep.With a sigh, I left the room, heading to the bathroom to take a quick shower. The warm water washed away the tension of the day, but my mind remained restless. Leo’s return to Chicago weighed heavily on me, and I knew I had to be prepared for whatever came next.After drying off, I wrapped a towel around my waist and decided to check on Isabella. She had been acting strangely lately, and I wanted to make sure everything was alright.I approached her room and opened the door quietly, not wanting to disturb her if she was asleep. But what I saw made me freeze. Isabella was lying on her bed, half-naked, her bo

Aurora's POVI had been in a light sleep when the soft creak of the bedroom door stirred me. I barely opened my eyes as Dominic entered; his features were indiscernible in the poor light. Coming to sit softly on the edge of the bed, his fingers combed through my hair; it was so soft, it made a wave of fire burn inside.He sighed, lying down beside me, and it was comforting to have him there. In only a few moments, he was asleep, his breathing even and sure. I let myself relax, the steady cadence of his breaths lulling me back into a peaceful sleep.Hours later, Dominic's shrill ring pierced the stillness of the night. He stirred, reached out to answer it without waking me. His voice was low, but I could feel the tension in his tone."If you want us to close this deal, bring Aurora," the voice on the other end insisted, and by the sound of it, I knew this call was urgent.Dominic's eyes tightened, his eyes narrowing as if trying to dissect this request, but he slowly looked at me, stil

Aurora's POVThe room was thick with tension, every eye locked on Dominic and Patrick as the gun lay on the table between them. My breath caught in my throat, my heart pounding with fear and uncertainty. Dominic's hand didn't waver, his gaze fixed, cold and unyielding. Patrick, for all his bravado, was visibly unnerved, shifting uncomfortably in his seat."If you can't play the game," Dominic said, his voice slicing through the silence like a blade, "then she's mine. And don't ever bother her again."Patrick's eyes slitted, his jaw clenching. His silence was as good as an admission, and the room seemed to breathe as a whole. The tension did not dissipate, but at least the immediate danger was dissipated for the moment. Patrick leaned back, crossing his arms over his chest. A sneer curled his lips as he spat out, "Fine, keep her then-for now. But this isn't over."Dominic didn't even bat an eyelid; his face cold and still, he said, "It's over when I say it's over." Not an inch of compr

Aurora's POV But in the shadows, beyond the glow of the chandeliers and the warmth of the celebration, danger lurked.Dominic hadn't said a word during the drive, and his features were unreadable behind the darkened tint of the windshield as he wove his way through the dark streets. I could feel the tension in him, the rage just barely contained under his surface. His hand was clamped firmly around the steering wheel, the muscles in his jaw clenching and releasing as we approached our destination."Dominic," I whispered, not wanting to break the silence. "What's going on?He looked at me then, and his eyes momentarily softened before resuming their harsh cast. "Stay close to me, Aurora. Whatever happens, stay close.The gravity in his voice sent a chill down my spine. I wanted to ask more, to understand what we were walking into, but something in his tone told me it was best not to push. I nodded, my hand clenching his as he parked the car and turned to face me."You trust me, don't

Aurora's POV I turned to him, my heart beating in my chest. His eyes seemed shrouded with an intensity that ran a shiver down my spine. I nodded, encouraging him to go ahead.There's a war brewing," he said, his voice steady but filled with an underlying tension. "Among the mafia families. Tonight was just the beginning."The weight of those words slammed into me like a freight train. A war? The idea was terrifying, and yet I knew Dominic wouldn't bring it up if it weren't serious. My mind started racing at the implications, the dangers, and the unknowns such a revelation brought.Dominic reached out, his hand warm, covering mine. "I need you to be very careful, Aurora. We're in the middle of something much bigger than us, and I can't protect you from everything."The vulnerability in his eyes was a contrast to the strong, unyielding man I knew. He was worried-no, terrified-for my safety. And that scared me more than anything."I understand," I whispered, my voice shaking despite my

Aurora POV The line died, and Dominic placed the phone down with a sigh, running his hand through his hair. I could feel the tension already congealing in his shoulders, the weight of the world pressing down on him once again."You're meeting with Leo tomorrow?" I asked softly, sitting up beside him.He nodded, his face unreadable. "Yeah. He's back, and he'll want an update."I didn't need to ask what kind of update. The search for Amber Raven was one of those things that had been haunting Dominic since-ever, really-I'd known him. I knew better than to pry, especially when the matters involved Leo Levine. The less I knew, the safer I'd be-or so Dominic believed.The rest of the day was a blur, because Dominic's meeting with Leo hung over our heads. By the time that hour of dread came, he kissed me softly before he left, and as was usual with him, his touch lingered, as though not to release me."Stay safe," I whispered inaudibly."You too," he said with an intense gaze. Then he was g

Aurora's POV Isabella continued to flutter around, always the perfect actress. She was worried for me, as a friend should be; but inside, I knew all this was for show and tell. Her smile never reached her eyes, nor did her warmth feel anything but as cold as this winter wind outside. I could smell her plotting-scheming backstage. She was still going to turn me over to Patrick: deliver me like some pawn in whatever game it was that they were playing.Every time she walked into a room, tension would rise; Dominic seemed blind to her deceit, or he was too sidetracked with the larger threats to notice it. But I saw it, every sideways glance, every whisper behind closed doors, even every feigned interest in my wellbeing-it was all a performance, and I was the unwilling audience.One afternoon, I overheard her on the phone, speaking in hushed tones. "Yes, Patrick. Everything is going according to plan. Dominic and Aurora have no idea. I'll make sure she's delivered to you soon."My heart s

Aurora's POVThe next morning dawned with a sense of uneasy calm. Dominic had left early for a meeting, leaving me alone in the mansion. I decided to head to the kitchen to prepare some breakfast. As I moved through the house, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, but I dismissed it as residual paranoia from the chaos surrounding us.I reached the kitchen, feeling the need for a warm cup of tea to settle my nerves. Isabella was already there, bustling around, seemingly busy with her own tasks. She greeted me with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. There was something unsettling about her, but I tried to brush it off, attributing my suspicion to the tense situation we were in.“I’ll make some tea,” I offered, walking towards the kettle on the stove.“No, let me,” Isabella said quickly, stepping in front of me. “You should rest, Aurora. You’ve been through a lot.”I hesitated but then nodded, thinking it best not to argue. I took a seat at the kitchen island, watch

Dominic’s POVWe 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

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!

"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? What if he fights back?"Patrick exhaled another puff of smoke, his smirk never fal

Julie’s POVI struggled to breathe, my body aching from the relentless fight, but I refused to give up. 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. She yelped, losing her balance for a moment. It was all the time I needed.I rushed toward the doo

Joanna’s POVJulie clutched the baby tightly, her eyes filled with fear and determination. “I will never let you go with this baby,” she hissed.I let out a slow chuckle, stepping closer. “Oh, Julie, don’t be so dramatic.”Tears welled in her eyes, but her grip on the baby only tightened. “You’ve already taken everything from me! 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. Not with Aurora’s baby.”I smirked, taking another step forward. “And how exactly do you plan to stop me, dear sister? You’re w
Deadly Affair with My Brother In-Law Chapter 129
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." My voice was firm, le
