Hayden-“Are you sure you are feeling up to this?” Dominic asked as he helped me zip up the new dress we bought for the gathering I was going to.“As I have told you a million times, I feel fine.” I rolled my eyes and looked at my reflection in the full-length mirror.I wore a long-sleeved light pink dress, with the sleeves loose and extending past my knuckles. I chose this dress to help me conceal the neon cast on my arm. I also liked how it hugged my curves in all the right places.I still had that innocent charm, but this dress made me feel sexy. Either that or it was the way Dominic’s eyes were perusing my body with a look that screamed he would throw me on the bed and have his way with me. If I weren’t still at risk of a miscarriage, I would let him.“At least wear this, and no matter what, make sure Lily is with you at all times.” Dominic moved closer to me, wrapping his arms around me as he secured the watch on my wrist.“Don’t worry, I will be extra careful.” I leaned against

Hayden-As Lily said she would, we were allowed to enter the private party without an invitation. I wouldn’t have thought anything of it, but we arrived after a group of people who tried to enter without an invitation. Unlike us, they had been turned away.“What did you say to him for us to be able to get in?” I asked Lily once we were out of earshot of the guy checking invitations.“I didn’t say anything.” Lily shrugged and pulled my arm, directing me and the others to the bar.“Then how did we get in?” I frowned.“Don’t worry about it. Perhaps we got lucky.”We arrived at the bar, which was lit with neon lights. Behind the bar stood a beautiful woman. Her smile could kill, especially with the large single dimple on her left cheek.“What can I get for you girls?” The bartender asked, throwing a rag over her shoulder and flashing us with her killer smile.“I will have a vodka tonic, and she will have a Shirley Temple.” Lily leaned on the bar and reached over the counter to grab a cher

Hayden-Ever since Dominic proposed, I feel like I have been floating on cloud nine. It has been a week since that night, and I have lived in what could only be described as a fairytale. Not only have I become more confident, but Dominic has become more open. As the days went by, I fell more in love with him and our life.“Finished.” I smiled as I pressed the enter button on my computer.I finally finished writing my novel. Dominic wanted me to stay home to recuperate this last week, so I used my time to write. I didn’t think I would finish my book this quickly, but thanks to Dominic, I was inspired.I didn’t know if it would be a top seller, but I believed that it would still be good with a bit of editing. Dominic has been reading my work except for the last few weeks. I wanted him to read it before I published it to get his input, but I also wanted it to be a surprise.Pulling my hand away from my keyboard, I admired my engagement ring. I had used the same ring in the book I wrote,

Dominic-“What do we do now?” Hayden asked after we broke apart, and I started assembling my office.“I don’t know.” I muttered.This entire situation was bad. I was in a meeting when everyone’s phone went off, alerting them to the new article. Tristan had helped settle everyone, but it disrupted things at the office. I had to cancel the meeting and let everyone go home with the promise of an explanation.“I have a suggestion.” Maria spoke up as she helped clean the office.“What?” I didn’t glance at her as I checked over my computer to see if I had broken it.“Well, I think it would be a good idea to get the news article taken down before it spreads further than it needs to.” Maria put my keyboard on the desk as she spoke. “After that, try to meet with the heads of other families to see what they say. In the last four years, you have made a lot of contributions, so I don’t think they will all turn against you. Also, your father was highly respected.”“I don’t think meeting with them

Dominic- “Do you think after killing your family, you would have the privilege to sit with any of us?” Maverick scoffed. “Come on, are we one big happy family?” Lexus chuckled as he walked in my direction, slapping the shoulder of each man he passed. “So, we can wait for you to stab us in the back? If I hadn’t had my gun taken, I would shoot you where you stand, boy.” The oldest member of the mafia, Richard Lancaster, spoke. “Dominic has made you all soft.” Lexus stopped behind me, patting me on the back. “I remember a time when each family did their own thing despite the consequences. Now you all are nothing more than a bunch of rich old men following rules and regulations.” Lexus’s words seemed to spark an interest in many of the people around the table. Some whispered amongst themselves, while others didn’t pay Lexus any attention. I didn't say anything because I wanted to know what Lexus was up to. Was he finally going to reveal something useful? “If everyone follows me inst

Hayden-“Calm down, everything will work out.” Tristan took me back to the apartment and sat with me on the couch while I bawled like a baby.“What if it doesn’t? Even if he isn’t found guilty, I have a bad feeling about him being in jail. It has been hours, and we still haven’t heard anything.” I sniffled a few times.Tristan handed me a Kleenex, and I wiped my tears before blowing my nose. It took us almost thirty minutes to get away from the reporters. They were still downstairs, wanting to talk to me. If it weren’t for Tristan having the ability to command the people who worked for Dominic, I don’t know what I would have done.“I have sent Lawyer Quinn to investigate what is going on. As soon as she learns something, she will inform us.”“Doesn’t she just work for Fox Ink? How can she get involved with a criminal case?” I tossed the used tissue away and accepted another from Tristan.“Lawyer Quinn is Dominic’s personal lawyer. She does more than handle legalities at the office. He

Dominic-“He refuses to cooperate.” A police officer who has been interrogating me on and off through the night said to the Chief of police as soon as he entered the interrogation room. “I have been cooperating. I have told you everything I know about what happened that night.” I moved one of my hands to touch the corner of my lip, where the police officer had hit me just moments before.“Don’t worry, I will get him to cooperate.” The Chief of Police flashed a crooked smile as he motioned for the two police officers to leave.Flexing my jaw, I stared at the older Chief of Police as the others left. “You know what you are doing isn’t legal.”“Who do you think they are going to believe?” The Chief sat across from me in a metal chair. “The Chief of Police or a known Mafia member?”The room was made of concrete and had only three metal folding chairs. I was currently chained to one, but the chains were long enough for me to move around. I could even get up and move forward a few feet, b

Hayden-A week passed, and Dominic still hasn’t returned home. No one has heard anything from Lawyer Quinn. Tristan and I went to the police station, but it was shut down. Lexus was becoming more obnoxious with each passing day.At least, that is what I heard, as I have managed to avoid him and Devon so far. I spend all of my time in Tristan’s office, and when something needs to be done outside of the office, Lily handles it for me. Instead of being upset that Dominic was missing, I let Tristan handle tracking him down while I focused on my novel.The book and cover have been officially approved. I was a little surprised because Lexus and Devon had the final say. I considered using a pen name, but in the end, I went with using my real name. I wish Dominic had been with me while I completed a significant milestone in my life.I didn’t let it get to me, however. Instead of being depressed about it, I thought of it as a surprise for him when we found him. I just hoped it was soon. A week
