Leila looked at Dominick intensely, he noticed how she looked at him. As if she was trying to tell him something. But when he didn't pay attention, Leila realized that Dominick had his own plans. She waited and watched the movement in his face. It was only a matter of time before they started to hear another round of gunfire outside the hall again. Romeo laughed out hysterically, claiming that it was his men who were getting rid of Dominick's men and he was slowly taking over the place— but Leila noticed the calmness in Dominick's face, it made her realize that Romeo might be wrong."Get down," Romeo suddenly demanded. Dominick didn't obey and only stared at him coldly. Romeo pulled Leila close."If you do not obey me, I might just have your woman in your presence. What do you think?" He threatened. Romeo still assumed that Dominick liked Leila since she was his. He had seen how much he tried to protect her. she must be so important to him for that. Romeo forced Leila to look at him
"Leila" "Leila" "Leila, no!" Her name was being chanted Continuously. They watched as she fell on the floor After being shot. Leila's head spinned and her vision became blurry. She couldn't believe that she had just taken a shot for Dominick Castillo. Was she wrong for doing such? Or she had to since he was her brother? Leila was on the cold properly tiled marble floor, her dress and body was soaked with blood instantly and Leila was laying in the pool of her own blood. Before Dominick could make a move, Romeo already ran out of the hall."Get him!" Dominick declared. He finally reached where Leila was and he carried her on his body. "Lei.. Leila.. please don't.. don't go" Dominick pleaded to her. He began to beg her to stay with him. Leila glared at Dominick faintly, she could barely see him clearly as her eyes were heavy and closing already. She managed to raise her hand which was covered in blood up to his face. She touched his cheek and he held her hands. He held the hands of hi
It was around noon the next day, Leila was still unconscious even after receiving the blood she needed. Dominick was Inside the ward with her, he stayed there overnight and till that afternoon. Dominick barely had anything to eat— as he was so worried about her. Dominick has never been worried about anyone the way he was about Leila. What bothered him the most was the fact that she actually took the bullet for him. That made him believe that Leila didn't betray him as he thought, but she was actually trying to protect him from Romeo that day. Dominick looked at Leila, she looked pale and had gotten thin overnight. Hee wasn't used to seeing her this way and he wished that she would recover so he could break the news to her that they weren't siblings.About thirty minutes Later, a nurse walked inside the room. Dominick raised his head up to look at her, he was beginning to fall sleepy. Be hasn't slept since the previous night. His suit had dried blood on it and his face too was staine
Renee made his way into the hospital ward. As soon as he entered the room, he realized that Dominick was asleep. Dominick had his head resting on the bed while he was asleep. Renee wanted to return back and not wake him up. He felt pity for his boss, he had been trying so hard to make sure that Leila gets well. He barely ate anything for the past two days while he stayed at the hospital. And he only changed his clothes once. As Renee made his way out, he heard Dominick call his name. Renee was shocked that he wasn't asleep. It was around eight in the evening and Dominick wasn't asleep. He had been awake all day. Renee was beginning to worry about his health. "What's going on? Any news on Romeo?" Dominick asked him but Renee was skeptical about telling him that Romeo escaped the attack they made on him two days ago. Renee didn't say anything, instead, he found a way to change the topic. He noticed that Dominick still looked sleepy and he was trying so hard to hold himself from it. He
A month later ~It has been up to a month since Leila is in coma, Dominick had her discharged and brought back to Mexico with him. He made sure to nurture and take care of her daily. The door to the huge bedroom pushed open and Dominick entered, he was dressed In a simple polo top and jeans, he was also holding a huge food tray in his hands. He had yet again, prepared breakfast for Leila. Even though he knew that she wasn't awake and might not eat the meal, he still decided to cook it. Dominick made the meal himself. During the past few weeks, he decided that any meal to be fed to Leila when she wakes up would be made by him. He continued to put in efforts into learning new recipes and cooking new food for her just in case she wakes up soon. Dominick moved towards her and he took his seat. "Leila, you have to recover quickly," he said. Dominick took her hand, it was cold and stiff."I miss you" Dominick didn't know when the words slipped from his tongue but deep down, he knew that he
About three days later~Doctor Liam had just finished another round of checkup on Leila, ever since he came that day, he was appointed by Dominick to continue treatment on Leila until she recovers. Dominick made sure to rent him a comfortable in the city and he took care of the doctor's expenditures. Dominick trusted and allowed doctor Liam to cater for Leila because he was duly professional in the field. Dominick really hoped that he could help Leila to wake up soon. "How is she responding to the treatment, doctor?" He asked him, carefully surveying the doctor's job with his eyes. Doctor Liam Hills carefully withdrew the acupuncture needles from her delicate skin so it won't hurt her. Doctor Liam knew that Dominick wouldn't have approved of the acupuncture, if Only it didn't see Leila react to it that day. He finished his job and then turned to Dominick. "Miss Leila will recover soon. Her blood pressure is normal and she is slowly responding to the treatment. You can tell by what
" It's been so many years, Dominick. Ten? Fifteen? How long do you think that you can hide from me, son?" He asked him but Dominick was obstinate to answer him. He was still angry and tried hard to control himself from saying anything that would trigger Dante Castillo. The man was heartless and might just kill Leila if he wasn't satisfied by his answers. "I can see how important this little girl is to you, Dominick. You see, that's why I told you love is forbidden in the realm of a Mafia. It weakens you, it serves as a weak point for an enemy to attack you. Don't you remember everything? The memories are still so fresh in my mind how my wife was killed so cruelly. I told you that story, didn't I? She was my weakness. The enemies used her to get close to me, they used her and I had no choice but to kill her that night. I strangled that bitch and I shot her afterwards. I killed my weakness and the enemies cannot get through to me anymore" he narrated to Dominick. The man laughed out hy
Indistinct sounds of sirens making loud noises in the area made Dominick to wake up, and when he did, he realized that he was being pushed on a Wheeled stretcher into the hospital. He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to hold back his groans as he felt badly hurt from the pain in his head.He couldn't see the people who took him inside clearly, his whole vision was blurry, the noises were loud and it caused and intense pain in his head."Mr Castillo… hang on, okay?" A nurse trued to persuade him not to pass out. Dominick was in so much pains— wheven when he tried to speak, nothing came out. Dominick groaned loudly— holding his hurting head. "Boss, it's fine, we are already in the hospital," Renee Explained to him. Renee assisted the nurses to help him inside the hospital. Dominick recognized Renee's voice, he wanted to say something to Renee, he held out his hands and grabbed Renee's arm tight. "L… Leila.. help her" he stuttered.

~ Months Later ~LEILAJust like the first day I met him, Dominick has been a loving man over these past few months since we got married.Even though everything was taken away from him, I didn't expect him to bounce back quickly. And as he always said, you can't kill a Mafia.We've been married for almost six months and we are focusing on living as a happy family and raising our son. Dominick established a business for himself, he didn't sell or deal with illegal stuff anymore.We wouldn't want him to go to jail again. I also started my professional teaching classes for dancing. The last few months have been filled with several adventures for us.A former stripper and a former Mafia. I think this is just the best. The peaceful life I have so much yearned for.Dominick wouldn't arrive from work until later, and I am busy with getting the uniform for my students prepared.Lolita comes by sometimes to take Gerald to her house, she is living with doctor Liam and they are about to get marri
DOMINICKIt was morning and I had to wake up and join my cellmates to do our jail labors. I picked up my bucket and I headed out with Jack, it was our turn to clean the bathrooms today. "Gosh! What an awful smell…" Jack exclaimed as soon as I kicked the bathroom door open.He should've gotten used to it by now cause I already do. The smell would never change no matter what we do. Even though this bathroom is cleaned up daily, it would still be as if it hasn't been touched for months when we come. I didn't want to think that these people do it on purpose, but what do I say? We are almost ten thousand in this jail and we all get the need to use the bathroom sometime.I stepped into the bathroom, the pungent odor of urine hit directly at my nose and I jerked backwards a bit. Jack noticed and he immediately began to laugh at me.I frowned and turned to him. "What's funny?" I asked, the tone in my voice made him realize that I am being serious. So he stopped laughing at me. "Sorry.." h
~ Two Years Later ~DOMINICKIt's been two years of being in this place but I do not regret it. The only thing I regret is not being there with Leila when she birthed my son, I deeply anticipated watching her give birth to a mini me. I hurt Leila's feelings, I wouldn't have been here if I didn't plead guilty. Despite the evidence they had against me, I could've still won the case because of my lawyer's influence.I do not want to live that life anymore, I wanted to make a change. I've been a sinner for so long. Making Leila and everyone around me hurt.I've killed so many people, I killed Romeo's uncle. He was my friend, I never should've hurt him. I knew how much his uncle meant to him, I never should've done that.I've hurt Leila too, I killed her aunt and so many other people. I had to pay for my crimes. For all the crimes I've committed for all these years.Everyday for over two years, whenever Leila comes to see me with my son, I refuse because I do not want my boy to see me in
LEILAit's been two months since Dominick had been in the hospital, the court hearing has been ongoing even without his presence and I've been representing him on the case.Romeo demanded that it should still go on until Dominick wakes up to serve his sentence.I have just arrived from the court and I am experiencing nausea and dizziness from the pregnancy. It didn't stop me from going to see Dominick at the hospital.I asked Renee to take me to the hospital after I have eaten. We drove there and it only took an hour from the hotel we lodge.Renee and Shen Yi have been so supportive of me since Dominick wasn't around. Being pregnant and going for the court at the same time hasn't been easy for me as I've tried my best to cope.Lolita was barely available, she worked at the nurse at the hospital so she could watch over Dominick while I'm not there. And with doctor Liam as his doctor in charge.Apparently, Dominick helped him get back his license which was seized by his former hospital.
DOMINICKI am standing facing Romeo, my former best friend who had become my enemy. With a time bomb in my hand which might blow off in a few seconds, I was ready to fight him."I'm the one you want, Romeo. I'm here now, you can face me" I stated, relieving my breath.I took a peek at the time bomb, hoping that Romeo would extend the time. I might just use that as an opportunity to fight him and also escape before the extended time elapses.Romeo is glaring at me angrily, like he wanted to devour me.I noticed him bringing out a device and he pressed a button before throwing the device away.. I heard the beep from the bomb. As expected, he extended the time to fight me.Some of his men surrounded us, I knew I was no match for them. With my injured foot and my aching body, Romeo and his men would defeat me but it was still worth the try.Romeo brought out a dagger, while his men grabbed a hold of me. Before I could react, he sent a punch at my face, making me fall on the ground.His me
LEILAThe sound of my cries dominated the room as I noticed that the time on the bomb had reduced a lot, down to ten minutes.In ten minutes time I'll be blown into tiny bits. At this point, I didn't believe that Dominick would come here anymore.I screamed and cried for help, knowing fully well that my voice wouldn't be heard by any. I still wanted to try my luck.Maybe, if Romeo can hear me from the chip, he might take me into consideration.My heart pounded fastly in my chest as I feared that I would die soon. I couldn't hold back the tears anymore and I allow it let loose.I cried hard until I felt like I was losing strength. I couldn't even touch my stomach or speak to my child who wouldn't be born to this world before its demise.I should've left this life the moment I was bought by Dominick. If I had listened to my instincts in the first place, I wouldn't be in this situation. The bomb continued to beep and I didn't yell for help anymore because it's pointless. There's no one
LEILAI didn't know what happened, I felt a sting on my neck. It was as if someone had injected me and I slept for an extra hour. I looked around where I was, it was dark and dusty.My legs were hurting as I noticed that I've been standing for a long time. "Where am I?" I asked myself rhetorically but I didn't expect to get a response."Welcome to your death… Leila Gonzales" I heard Romeo's voice speak. I tried to look around and search for him. I don't think he is inside the place with me.I noticed a chair and a recording chip on top of it. He must be speaking from a distance and using the chip to send the messages to me.I noticed that I was tied to a pole and the slow beeping noise on my chest. I looked down and I saw the time bomb tied to my body.."Help me!" I screamed out in fear, my body trembled like never before."Romeo.. please don't kill me! " I yelled.His laughter sounded and dominated the room, the chip became so loud. "Please.." I cried. I couldn't help as tears began
LEILAI jerked up at the sound of the door opening. Immediately, I realized that it wasn't only one man who entered the room.The aura which filled the room smelled of drugs and smoke. I waited for my nerves to be calm before I spoke. "Who is there?" I asked, I was frightened but I had to mask it with anger."I'm talking to you, cowards!" I yelled out angrily."Leave us" He requested."Ali.."" Romeo" I instantly corrected myself. His name wasn't something I could get used to. "What do you want from me?" I asked him but the room went into a deep silence when he didn't respond to me.My blindfold was still on, but I was sensitive enough to notice that he was sitting on the bed and he was moving his hands near my face. I could feel his movements through the air.I turned my face away to avoid his touch, but it didn't end well for me as he slapped me hard on my face. "Stay still, bitch" he yelled at me.Soon, Romeo pulled down the blindfold from my eyes and I was staring directly at him
