Dominic Chapter 36 Bad Company
_Dominic“What is it, spill it out,” I said impatiently. “Boss, we have company,” Vini said and we both got up from our respective chairs. The man I was with started to walk towards the back window and looked out.“I never got your name,” I said as soon as he turned and looked around. “Nikolai, but you can call me Nic,” he said, looking between me and Vini. Nikolai. He was Russian, but even as I searched in the hazy compartments of my brain, there was no Nikolai.“And I assume everyone has a gun,” Nic said, bringing me to the present and I grinned. Was he telling a joke? “Depending on how many are coming.” I showed him the pistol I always carried around. “You might want to back it up with this.” He handed me a rifle from his collection on the wall, he opened a drawer and I assumed he was looking for some ammunition. “Get down.” He said looking at Vini who was peeping through the window. "They might be able to see you from there." He handed me the ammunition and I loaded the ri

_Dominic As soon as the fourth man realized that he was outnumbered. He raised his hands in surrender. "Drop your gun and get down on your knees," Nic shouted. The man did as he was told. Nic looked at me. "Should I or you want to take this one, they came here for you after all." That was easy. Since it was Nic's property. I was going to let him take the lead on this one. For some strange reason, I had massive respect for this man who claimed to be my father. Although I had only just met him. "It's your house, your rules," I said and he grinned. "I'm going to skin him alive." He started walking down to meet Vini, who was already down next to the man, holding a gun to his head. I trailed behind him, without a word. When we joined Vini and the man, Nic pointed to the barn. "We going to need some privacy." I looked around at the dead bodies to make sure they were dead. Vini gestured for the man to get on his feet, while he walked behind him with the gun still pointed

Three weeks later. _Isabella I shifted uneasily in my seat. Dominic looked at me sideways without taking his eyes off the road. "We talked about this," he said, as if he could see the turmoil of my emotions. "I know, but it still doesn't make it any easier," I answered and faced forward. He was going to confront his mother about our marriage. "I still think we should have told her that we were coming. And not ambush her." He gave no reaction that he was listening to what I was saying. The only reaction that showed he was listening was the ticking of his jaw, which was also gone in a split second. He squeezed my thigh to reassure me. "If I don't do this right now, nothing will ever change. You're my wife, and they should respect that or else..." "Or else what?" I asked. "They will never see me again," he whispered. "I wish there was another way." I said. "So do I," he murmured. The gates opened to the Montego estate, reopening old wounds and memories I would rather forget.

Four weeks later _Isabella_The sunroom had become a favorite place of mine in recent weeks. I could sit there the whole day soaking up the sun and reading, or better yet, I could use the room to work on my assignments, now that I had gone back to school on a part-time basis.The couple of weeks had passed in a blur. But the only thing that had not passed in a blur was the awkward lunch we had with Rosetta and Eric. That day was still as clear as day in my mind. Nothing could make it fade or even better, erase it.Although I had been hesitant to go back to the old house, Dominic insisted that it was necessary for security purposes that we move back, not to mention that there was a more pressing matter that made us move back.A growing matter. One that I found out about soon after we went to his parent's house. And one that I was not ready to share with his family. No matter how much he said they would listen and not pass judgements. But, my experience told me otherwise.And the fact t
Last Updated : 2024-04-19Dominic Chapter 40 Summer Days.
_Dominic_ The car drove up to the gates of my property. This time, I was content to sit at the back and let Joseph do the driving. Something that he should be doing every day. I was probably the only Don I knew who enjoyed the little freedom I had of driving myself without security by my side. The allure of the open road was thrilling but also dangerous. Now things had changed. With Isabella pregnant, I needed to take fewer risks that could have me killed. I wanted to be around for a long time to see my kids grow up, and for that to happen, I needed to make a few changes. Christopher had called me earlier about a visitor to the house. I hadn't been surprised that he had come because I had called him. Another thing was that I could kill more flies with honey than vinegar. I desperately needed Jacob; he held the missing piece of the puzzle, one that I needed. But with his brother by my side, it should be easier to get to him than it had proven to be so far. The door pulled open, an

IsabellaI dressed and put on make-up in record time before I could chicken out and change my mind. Dominic was being unreasonable and controlling as usual, but this was one fight he was not going to win. I looked at my reflection and I could still hear him exhaling breath behind me. I needed to do this, if not he would always walk all over me. Before I could touch the handle. Someone knocked on the door. I took a deep breath to steady my nerves. Was he back for round two of the fighting match? I opened the door to find Joseph standing there. not in his usual formal attire of a suit but he looked good in casual. The minute he saw me, he let out a low whistle of appreciation. I made a twirl and we both burst out laughing at the theatrics. "I was on my way out," I said after we had composed ourselves. "I know, and I'm here to accompany you to wherever you need to go tonight." He pointed to his laid-back style of clothes. I raised an eyebrow in question. "I should have known."

Isabella_“You wanted me to come back from a club, only for you to go out and leave me all alone?" I asked.I was beside myself with rage. “I'm not leaving you alone, there are always people around the house.” He said in his defense. Perfect time to down play me.“Those people are not you.” I shouted.“I know. But this is very important. Besides, you need the rest.” The nerve of the man.“Yes. I do, I should be resting with my feet up while you're all over town having the time of your life, right?” “That is not the truth. This is strictly business, and it has nothing to do with being all over town. Are we going to start fighting about my work now?”I threw the towel I was using and walked out of the bathroom. In a huff, I pulled the covers off the bed back and crawled under them not bothering about taking off my clothes. I was baking underneath them but I was not about to give him the satisfaction. A few minutes later, the bathroom door opened and I heard Dominic walk to the hea

Dominic_ “I don't think you should go and confront her in this state.” Joseph said from across the room. “I don't care what state you think I'm in. I'm going tonight. This woman has messed up my life for far too long.” “You might not get all the answers you're looking for.” I hated that he was right. “I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I want to see her face when I point a gun between her eyes.” “What about her father?” He asked calmly. “What about him?” I hadn't thought that far. “Do you think he was also involved?” He was trying to get me to reason in the same calm matter that he was doing. I sat down. Feeling exhausted, it had been a long night. One that was far from over. “I don't know any more. I thought he was okay with me, but I don't know any more.” nothing was as it seemed. “He seems like an honest man. It doesn't seem like him to go behind your back like that.” “Kate had seemed like a nice lady. I thought we had both agreed.” I reminded hi

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
