Dominic Chapter 27 The card
_DominicSomething was off. That was the only reason I could hear my burner phone vibrating through my pants, just as I was about to make a last turn and enter my parent's estate. I let the phone ring on, but I couldn't shake the lingering feeling that it could be an emergency. The burner vibrated again, and I parked off the road and took it out.“Yes?”“There's been a breach at the house.” Joseph's voice said. “What? I just left the house about fifteen minutes ago. I'm on my way back." "You don't have to come here, we can handle it."“I'm coming,” I said, pressed the ignition button, and made a turn. I hit the steering wheel with my fist. Fuck.Joseph was my right hand, but this was some shit even for him. Someone with balls the size of the Atlantic walked into my home and started shooting at everyone right under their noses. I dialed his number, but there was no answer. I pressed hard on the gas pedal. If there was any police patrol tonight, I would have a hard time explain
Dominic Chapter 28 The Cabin
_IsabellaThe door opened and I risked a glance up. If I was going to die, at least I should see the face of the man who was going to do it. I deserved that much. Joseph appeared from the door with a puzzled look, I don't think I had ever been that excited and relieved to see him. He moved slowly inside the room, checking behind the door, and indicated for me to stand from the tub. I must have zoned out from the situation because I was brought back to reality by the snapping of his fingers in front of my face. Like a damsel caught in the headlights, I came alive, and the dread of the situation that we were in. "Okay," I said and stood up. Joseph looked at Cesare, who was still hunched inside the bathtub threw a black cloth at me, and nodded towards Cesare. Another cloth. His boss must have them stocked up, as I remembered my encounter with the black cloth when I was taken to my wedding. I covered Cesare's head and got out of the tub, picked him up, and he in turn responded by
Dominic Chapter 29 Eight Wonder.
_DominicThe first rays of the sun cut through the tall buildings. I walked Yuri to the door of the apartment. The atmosphere was somber. Once Yuri was gone. I headed to the small kitchen and poured myself a cup of the terrible brew I had found in there. One sip and I couldn't stand the taste. To hell with it. I threw the paper cup in the sink took my keys and left the building.The situation had taken a more sinister turn. I jumped inside the car and moved it from its stationary position. I was going to finish what I had started and maybe, just maybe, I might understand a few things. "Dominic?" My mother screamed from behind me as I went from room to room, looking for her son."Where's he?" I asked. If he was not home. She was the first person to know where he could be hiding his sorry behind. "Who? Dominic, are you drunk, who are you looking for?"She tightened her silky bathrobe against her slim frame. Sleep was still visible through her not-yet-pampered face. The wrinkles be
Dominic Chapter 30 Family Member
_Isabella Now that I was face to face with the throbbing family member, my bravado from earlier left me. I panicked. "I don't know what to do," I said, memorized by the vein-pulsing organ in front of my face. Dominic took one look at me and smiled. "Do what feels natural to you." I gave him a blank stare. "What comes to your mind?" he asked, his eyes challenging, his fingers gently digging into my scalp. "More than one thing," I admitted, feeling heat touch my cheeks. I ran my hand down his shaft and felt it pulse in my hand.I repeated the motion, making sure to keep my eyes on his face. When I touched the sensitive head, he groaned in response. Feeling empowered, I smiled and became more daring.When I put him inside my mouth, he went completely still and tightened his hold on my hair."You don't like that?" I asked, feeling a pop when I took him out. "Fuck No!" Dominic said, breathing heavily. "Go on"My concern melted and I put him back in, getting the feel of the action
Dominic Chapter 31 Tight Silver Pants
A black SUV stopped outside the Zero nightclub. The car door opened, and a female in tight silver pants and gold shoes stepped out, catching the attention of the club customers waiting to get inside. What caught their attention more than anything was her silver hair, which matched her pants. Her choice of outfit made her look cheap. But someone with a keen eye could easily tell that she didn't belong there. It was in the little things. From the shiny expensive cat that dropped her there to the way she walked towards the club. Her movements were graceful. She didn't just walk; she was purposeful with every step she took. The bouncer looked at her skeptically as she got closer to him. She handed him a piece of paper that he looked at once and got inside the club without any questions. When the bouncer emerged again, he nodded to the woman and opened up for her, ushering her inside. Another man, who hadn't been there before, appeared from inside the club. When he met the woman mi
Dominic Chapter 32 It Takes Less
_DominicI drove away from the cabin but my mind was still inside it. I was happy that Isabella was finally coming around and taking this union seriously. Maybe bringing Cesare did a lot of good than I had first imagined. Speaking of which, I still needed to solve the Eric mystery. My brother owed me some explanation, not only about what happened the night Cesare was conceived but what had he been doing with my woman when I was away.I sneered at the thought of the two of them together, laughing and drinking. Bloody hell, if he touched what's mine, they would be hell to pay. But I had to keep my anger in check. I didn't want to give Mother more reasons not to trust in my capabilities to lead this family forward. Joseph had gotten hold of one of the men who broke into my home, that in itself was a plus for me. Finally, I would have one piece of the puzzle, and depending on its size, I would be able to solve the whole mystery that surrounded me. Whoever it was. I hoped for his sake,
Dominic Chapter 33 Caleb
_DominicIt did indeed take less than a whole night. How could I have been so stupid? That first night in the cottage, I had been so blown away by Isabella's innocence and had been furious about Kate who had been thrown on my lap, that the idea of protection never entered my mind. Still, nothing excused my being an absent father. I should have insisted more on Cesare's paternity and not taken the first answer that Isabella gave me. I was guilty on many accounts. At the time when Cesare was born, I had been the next in line to be a Don. And now. I could not even imagine what would have happened had word gotten out that Cesare was my son. They would be after him as well. 'Oh god.' I sighed loudly. Time wasted was time lost. This only meant one thing: I needed to cover a lot of ground with Cesare, to make up for lost time. And this morning was a great start. At first, when I had looked at Cesare I was certain that he was Eric's, but then I could see how it was easier to pass him off
Dominic Chapter 34 White Pepper
_Dominic"Hands up and on your knees," the voice behind me said. I raised my hands. This was never how I had imagined things would turn out this way, and I was caught completely unprepared. "You go on your knees," another voice said, one that sounded very familiar to my ears. Something like hope filled me up. "Shit," I heard the man behind me say and lower his gun. I breathed a sigh of relief, took a risk, and turned around. "Vini?" I said and the little man gave me a broad smile. Proud of himself. Hell, I was proud of him. "Joseph said I should follow you, he thought you might need backup," he said."Seems he was right about that." I bent lower and looked at the man who was now on his knees with his hands up. When his eyes locked with mine, he blinked a couple of times, as if not believing what he was seeing. "Dominic? Is it you?" he dropped his hands and tried to get up."On your knees!" Vini shouted, and I gestured for him to calm down. "Do you know who I am?" I asked. The

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
