Dominic Chapter 13 House of Cards
_Dominic_I managed to change without bringing more pain to myself. When the doorbell rang, Joseph ushered Yuri in, and we went to my home office.No explanations were necessary because Joseph had put Yuri up to speed. The only question on everyone's mind was: "How do we stop this?" I voiced it out. "That's a tough one, given that we don't know who the enemy is here," Yuri said in his usual laid-back voice. "But I cannot let things as they are. It's clear that whoever this person is wants to see the Montego name wiped out."Yuri nodded and seemed to be in deep thought. "What is it?" barely containing my irritation. "There's been some talks recently." He said. It was visible from his features that he was fighting with himself on whether he should say whatever it was that he was thinking of or not. "I don't have all day to prompt you into talking.""Your marriage to that girl." He said simply. "What does this have to do with who I decide to make my wife.""She is not from one o
Dominic Chapter 14 Different World
_Dominic_ The minute I walked into the lounge area, my mother pounced on me. "You look flushed, are you okay." My mother said. Looking stylish in her old age. You don't know half of it. But outwardly I said: "I'm fine mother, this is just not the best of times that's all." I sat down opposite her and looked around. "Where is your so-called wife?" her gaze looked in the direction of the stairs."She's upstairs," I said more sternly than I intended. "Do you see what you have done? Now the maid can not be bothered to come and greet me." she raised a hand. “Because I told her no to come down. Would you like something to drink, tea maybe?” I said trying to diffuse the situation I could sense was the fast approaching. "And like a little maid, she listened." I let her win this one. I didn't want to add that she was taking a nap after, well..."I cannot believe that you went ahead and married that girl. I had to see with my own eyes what a laughing stock you've turned this family int
Dominic Chapter 15 Flesh Business
_Dominic_The cool breeze from the crashing waves left gentle shivers on my skin as we stood at the docks, looking out into the clear blue distance.I knew it was too soon to be out in the open after what had happened. But I couldn't let whoever was responsible think that I was going to sit back and cower.Plus, this in itself was a message to the other families not to even try me.I was with Yuri and Vini. Vini was one of my trusted men. The only downside about him was that Vini had itchy fingers. He was quick to reach for his gun. If left to his own devices, he could create a bloody mess just because someone looked at him the wrong way.But in times like these, when Joseph was unable to come, he made for a good substitute. Besides, with the man I was meeting today, Vini's hothead was a perfect fit.I may have downplayed the whole shooting incident, but I knew that every step I took was crucial. Someone had it out for me. Hence, Joseph needed to keep an eye on Isabella.The fact that
Dominic Chapter 16 Going Clubbing.
Isabella. The door to my bedroom opened and closed with a bang.My heart sank. I already knew who it was, Dominic. Here to scream his unhappiness in my face. I washed my hands slower than I would normally have done, suddenly feeling drained by the confrontation I knew was coming. When I looked at my reflection in the mirror, even I knew I had taken the space cookies' situation too far. What if someone died? I sighed and closed the tap. In my defense. I so badly needed to go out. I needed to make money and fast. Maybe I should have tested the space cookies on Dominic first. Given how enormous the situation was, any excuse I came up with seemed childish. I walked into the bedroom, feeling sheepish and probably looked the part. As I braced myself for a lash-out at any minute. But nothing came. I looked up at Dominic, who was still standing by the door, holding his sho
Dominic Chapter 17 The Secret
_Dominic_The loud music greeted us at the entrance of the club.I asked Isabella if she liked it, but from her body language, I could tell that she did not hear what I said. We stopped and looked at the scene in front of us and I loved what I saw, sweaty bodies swaying to the beat of the music and on the other side of the club, people were perched on barstools enjoying drinks and watching the action on the dance floor.It was not every day that I came to this particular club. But once in a while, I had to come and see that everything was still in order. And from where I stood, it looked as though things were in order. But only the books would confirm that things were indeed running smoothly. I leaned against Isabella’s ear and asked her,“Do you wanna dance?” Out if habit, she backed away. The action pierced me somewhere deep but I quickly recovered from it and made a humming sound.She mouthed, “Hell no.” and managed to look shocked. That somehow took away the sting of her rejec
Dominic Chapter 18 The Warning
_Isabella_I stretched my legs, but my body felt stiff as if I had done strenuous workouts the previous day.When I opened my eyes, I groaned in pain.“You're awake,” a voice said curtly above me.Gently, I peeled myself off the couch. Dominic was standing above me, looking impatient.“When did I fall asleep?” I yawned and quickly regretted the action when my breath hit my nose.I couldn't remember much after the cocktails I had downed, but I did recall telling Dominic that I had a secret.Gosh, I was an idiot.“After you showed what a party animal you can be,” he chuckled as he walked over to his desk.I didn't ask. What if I had embarrassed myself last night? Although it didn't seem likely.Dominic had made it clear why he was there. He had come to work, and I was only allowed to follow since he couldn't trust me alone with his men at home.“Judging by the sour look on your face, it seems like you didn't do much partying,” I retorted.I knew I looked terrible because I felt it.“If
Dominic Chapter 19 Blonde Man
_Dominic_This shit was getting out of control and fast. But I had a sneaky suspicion that Ludo was behind this last shootout. The guys in that car had not intended to injure or kill us but rather to send a message. I had been at this game long enough to know what a message looked like. And this one was written in very bold letters to miss. Whoever it was, needed me alive and if it was Ludo, he needed me for the docks deal. This meant that in the next few days, I would be receiving a message for a meet-up or some kind of shit like that. But the biggest problem of all was how to keep Isabella from all of this.She had seen too much in a very short period. Last night had started beautifully but ended in a terrible disaster. I looked at her next to me and her eyes were closed. She had finally given up the fight with sleep. She had been so frightened after the shootout, but being clingy was the last thing I had expected from her. But it was not like I was complaining. If it meant that
Dominic Chapter 20 The Surprise
_Dominic_From the moment I opened that email back at the warehouse, I had not been able to get the image of the man out of my head. Blondie. That was how my brain had categorized him for easy access.I was in my room, sitting on the edge of a chair facing the window, the curtains were fully opened reflecting the beauty of the moon outside. The last time I had watched the full moon was in Isabella's room at the cottage.Simpler times. I sighed out loud.A knock sounded from my door. "Come in," I said, I already knew who it was. And when the door opened, I watched as Isabella walked in, probably trying to adjust her eyes to the dark room."Dominic?" She called out."Right here." I knew I should have gotten up and switched on the lamp, but a few more minutes watching the moon glow was all I needed."My bed has been stripped and I can't find my stuff," she said. Calmer than I had expected but still with a little feel to it. "That's because your clothes are here and that room won't be

Dominic Chapter 56 Hell Fire
_Isabella As Kate got dressed and modelled out of the room, I folded my arms and stared at Dominic. “What the hell is going on here?” I asked, we were both surprised at my tone. “It's nothing you should concern yourself about. There is nothing between me and her. I don't know how she got in here.” That was saying a lot for someone who seemed to know everything all the time. “You're right, you don't seem to know anything lately.” I blindly threw my weapon, and it seemed to land on its mark as he blinked twice before looking at me again. Maybe he had been right all along. Dominic was losing focus, and this was no place to raise kids. Everyone did as they pleased, any time. “The stress is unhealthy for the baby. You've had a long night and need some rest. IL sort this out.” He said as he recovered from his mini shock. Even though I didn't believe that he was thinking about the baby at that instant, I got worried as well. I felt my cheeks getting heated. I was embarras
Dominic Chapter 55 Kate in Bed
_Isabella The mansion felt strange after my time in the cabin. Although I hadn't been there long, the tension between Dominic and me was palpable. After he picked us up from Nick's truck, he'd only asked if we were hurt before retreating to his study. I spent time with the chef, who made me a delicious steak that I devoured in seconds. If anyone noticed the tension between Dominic and me, they were too polite to mention it. "Don't mind him, he's under a lot of pressure," Joseph said from nowhere, tension must have been written all over my body, as he was speaking from behind me. "I know." there was no point in pretending that I hadn't been thinking about him. Embarrassed that I'd been caught, I got up from my chair and headed to the sink to put my plate. "You bring warmth to this place," Joseph said, He was leaning against the wall. "I thought I brought trouble," I replied, taking my sit to sip on my juice. I realized with a pang that my dietary needs had been changed; the ch
Dominic chapter 54 The night was still
_Isabella Nick took a sharp left, switched off the pickups lights, and then we zigzagged into a country road, before coming to a stop behind an overgrown hedge. I looked behind us and our pursuers were nowhere to be seen. “How do you know they won’t find us here?” now that the adrenaline was wearing off, I felt numb and shaken. “Because not many people know about this off-ramp, it has saved me many times before.” There was a story there, but maybe later. He turned off the engine and opened his door. “Where are you going?” I asked, wanting some fresh air myself. “To take a leak, that was close.” He shut his door with a bang. I opened the passenger door and jumped out. The night was still, without a leaf rustling out of place, but the midnight air still stung. I wrapped my arms around myself and stood against the body of the pick-up. “The stars look more bright from here than anywhere else.” I said, enjoying the gulps of the fresh air, making the most of the gift that
Dominic Chapter 53 Send Calvary
_Dominic Once everyone had settled, the drinks started flowing and so did the conversation. Even Ludo's speaking volume had gone up another annoying inch higher. When a waiter surfaced from the back to take out orders, I could tell Ludo was well on his way from the slap he gave the young woman's behind. "As I was saying, Montego, the shipments of girls is increasing..." I fet my body tense up at the mention of the flesh business, but I made a mental note to keep my body relaxed."Which means more money for us." I said enthusiastically and took my glass to wash off the bad taste in my mouth. "Yes, it's more money." He said with a more sombre mood than I expected from him."Then why do you sound worried?" I asked and Ludo leaned back on his chair with a worried expression on his face. "The quality of girls has been dropping in recent months, it seems like someone has been taking a dip into our business." into his business he meant. I didn't want my name tainted with such."Mm..."
Dominic Chapter 52 Cat full of Milk
_Dominic Everything was set, and the chef was already at the back preparing the meal of the evening, but Ludo was nowhere to be seen. “Where is that fat bastard?” I asked Joseph, who shrugged in response. I was getting agitated with each passing second. “He will be here, calm down. Everything is ready to go.” He finally said when he noticed that I was blowing air like an angry bull. Plus, I hated the fact that he was calm, while I felt like a boiling kettle. “Stop checking your watch, it will not make the time to move any faster.” He said looking at my wristwatch, I hadn't even been aware that I was checking it. We were at the restaurant that Ludo had picked. It was empty because we had booked the entire place for the night. And now the idiot was running late. The bell on the door ding donged, to signal that someone had arrived. I fought the edge to turn my head and look, but once the door closed, I heard the sound of a women's shoes clicking against the floor. Now I had
Dominic Chapter 51 Actively Trying To Kill
_IsabellaNick's truck was as reliable as him. The pickup drove steadily out of the woods and towards the city.Although I watched the woods slowly fade away and the scenery change into a flat road that stretched on for miles, my mind was a few miles ahead of us, playing different scenes of what sort of outcome was going to come out from the trip. Nick kept on stealing glances in my direction, and I was very much aware of his glances, but I kept quiet. In the short while that I had known him, I knew he wanted to say something, maybe ask about the money. So I thought I would make it easier on him.“You must be wondering where I got all that money?” I said, my voice feeling croaky. “No.” he answered softly. I sat up straighter and looked at him. “What do you mean, no, I've seen the way you have been looking at me since we left the cabin.”“I'm worried about you, Isabella.” He said, looking at me before focusing on the road again. “Why?” I asked, and as soon as the words left my mo
Dominic Chapter 50 I Have Money
_Isabella After Dominic and his entourage left the cabin. I prepared Cesare for his bath and sat In the lounge long after he had gone to bed. I still hadn't said anything to Dominic about Nick. And I was starting to worry that I should have said something. The way he ran out when he saw that I had a visitor was suspicious. I went into the bed and opened the only closet in the room. The bag of money was still where I had left it. If someone knew about the money…if the wrong person knew, I would be in deep trouble. Was Nick the wrong person? What if he was an investigator who knew about Dominic's extra activities on the side? I was getting tired of the uncertainties, I was going to get answers. I pulled the closest sweater and looked around the room. There was still the bag that came with my change of clothes. I took the clothes out and stacked money inside the bag before putting some clothes back. But that didn't seem like a wise idea, so I took the clothes and money out a
Dominic Chapter 49 Ordinary Looking
_Dominic"What are you planning?" Joseph asked me the minute we were safely alone in the car."Nothing fancy, just dinner with Ludo. I might even get dessert depending on my mood later on.""The only problem is that you hate the man." he pointed out the obvious."Yes, I do. It's just dinner, I'm not asking him to be my life partner." at the mention of his name my phone beeped, and I showed Joseph the message."Prepare for dinner, I need you looking your best sharp self tonight." I typed some keys on my phone, dinner plans were already in motion."Any particular plan I should be made aware of? I don't want to embarrass you in front of polite company." He looked at me with a slight smile.I liked this side of Joseph, the other sides were debatable."You catch on fast. The usual plan will be fine." I said and he nodded. "You need to get the chef in town on time, tell him he has a gig, only his best steak will do for tonight.""What about his mashed potatoes?" Joseph asked and we both sta
Dominic Chapter 48 Easily Pleased
_DominicWe were back at the house and Joseph was standing by the doorway and wouldn’t stop looking at me. “How long are you going to play this game? Just tell her the full story.” He said softly.I paused and gave him my full attention,“I can't dump everything on her, not until I have tied up all the loose ends”. I stood up to put away the files I’d been using.When he didn’t say anything, I added, “If you have anything else, please, I have a meeting and you are welcome to join me.” I winked at him.“She seemed preoccupied, like she was expecting anyone but me.” He finally spoke up.A chuckle passed my lips at his words.“She is in a cabin in the woods, who can she possibly be meeting, the rabbits and foxes?” I asked him.“Are you going to leave her without protection all alone with your son?”“She has protection.” I sighed, Joseph was not going to let this one go until he got whatever he came for.“Not from what I saw and what Vini told me.”“Vini? what does Vini have anything to d
