Dominic’s pov. As I walked down the dimly lit hallway, my heart raced with worry. I was supposed to check up on Vanessa in her room, but when I arrived, she was nowhere to be found. Panic set in, and my mind started racing with all sorts of worst-case scenarios.I immediately knew something was wrong. Vanessa was always bent on escaping, could she have found another way?It was like her to just disappear without a trace. I quickly made my way back to the main area of the house and called out her name, but there was no response.Fear gripped me as I realised that something terrible might have happened. I couldn't shake the feeling that Elliot, with his sinister intentions, might be involved. I had seen the way he looked at Vanessa before, and it sent shivers down my spine, and also Rose told me to beware of him and she told me everything Vanessa told her. I was furious because I was wondering why she didn't say anything about it to me. And at the same time Elliot was nowhere to be fou
Vanessa’s pov. When Dominic saved me from Elliot, my heart was pounding like crazy. I can't even explain the relief I felt when he carried me to his room in the mansion. His strong arms made me feel safe and protected. I won't lie, my feelings for him even grew more, It was like that moment changed everything between us. I realized that I could trust Dominic and he made me feel important. In that room, lying down, I just soaked in the peaceful atmosphere. The events of that evening shook me, but Dominic's presence brought me comfort like nothing else. In the darkness, I could hear his steady breathing, calming my mind. As the night went on, I drifted into a deep sleep, and the weight of the day faded away. Having Dominic by my side gave me a sense of security I hadn't felt before. Something changed between us in that room. It was as if the events had broken down the walls we had built around ourselves, and in their place, a fragile bond had formed. When the morning light stream
Dominic pov. I knew I could no longer hide my feelings for Vanessa. What I felt for her was real,in fact I had never had this kind of feelings for any woman and it scared me. I knew Vanessa hated me for how I treated her but I did all those things so she could hate me, I knew deep down I could never be a perfect man because I had too many flaws. I had this feeling she was staring at me when I woke up so I closed my eyes shut so she could enjoy the view,and when I could no longer take it, I wanted to see her beautiful face,and when I opened my eyes I saw her staring at me and she looked so beautiful. I felt like kissing her and I knew she also felt the same way, I leaned in to kiss Vanessa, feeling like a teenage boy whose heart was filled with anticipation. As our lips met, a surge of emotions washed over me. Time stood still, and in that moment, I felt a deep connection and an overwhelming sense of joy. I wanted to have more with her, but I had urgent matters to attend to. I had
Vanessa’s pov. As Dominic left the room that morning, a mix of emotions swirled within me. I felt a sense of relief, yet a tinge of sadness lingered in the air. I decided to take a long, relaxing bath to clear my mind and wash away the remnants of the intense conversation we had just shared.The warm water enveloped my body, soothing my weary soul. I closed my eyes, allowing the tranquillity to seep into every fibre of my being. It was a moment of solace, a chance to reflect on the whirlwind of events that had led me to this point.As I emerged from the bath, wrapped in a plush towel, I could feel a renewed sense of strength and determination. I knew that I had to face the challenges ahead with grace and resilience. Little did I know that the day held more surprises in store for me.Just as I was about to get dressed, a gentle knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. It was one of the maids, carrying a tray of delicious food. The aroma wafted through the room, tantalising my senses
Dominic’s pov. “I love you Dominic” Those words continued to resound in my ears, it felt as if time had stopped. I could not even Remember when last I heard those words, my heart was beating really fast, I was speechless, I continued to stare at her unable to say a word. “I know you Don’t feel the same way towards me, I’m just your prisoner, I’m sorry for saying those words, Don’t take it to heart.” She said in a sad tone and averted her gaze. “You don’t have to be Sorry Vanessa” I said to her in a calm voice. I took her hand in mine, and examined the place I had written my name and softly used my thumb to brush past it. “How could you possibly end up loving someone like me?” I said. “I’m clearly a monster, and you know it. I have hurt you a lot, how could you possibly say you love me?” I asked with concern filled in my voice. She raised her gaze to look at me and her face softened. “Do we need a reason to love someone?” She asked me softly. “I don’t know Vanessa, it’s been
Lucy’s pov. after I witnessed the whole thing happen, my heart broke to pieces, after Dominic and Darren left, I rushed over to my brothers dead body, I carried his lifeless body in my hand and cried out in pain. I was begging and pleading with him to wake up, but I knew that was impossible, I loved my Brother so much that my heart was scattered in several pieces. there was no longer any love in my heart, instead it was filled with hatred, revenge and anger. the guards dragged me away from my brothers body and they dragged his body to where I'm not even aware of. I was using all my strength to get away from all this men holds, but I knew it was not possible and I was just wasting my time but what I could do? I know I could never see my brothers body, because he belongs to Dominic, Making me even hate this Mafia world of a thing.the guards carried me up and took in the vehicle, I requested to go and bring my stuff but they told me that the maids already kept them in the booth
Vanessa’s pov. It’s been one week now since the whole incident with Elliot happened. The mansion was very peaceful and the worst part of it all. After that night I confessed my feelings to Dominic. I went back to my room, I barely saw Dominic, I only felt his presence during the night when I’m already fast asleep. And I just had this feeling that he was avoiding me, and I think I know the reason why, after I confessed to him, I never got an answer from him. And I don’t even know what made me confess in the first place? Maybe it was the Emotions I was going through at that Moment. I just feel, it’s not nice at all for Dominic to avoid me like this, it’s so unlike him. And it hurts Everytime I think about it, I'm the one who should Hate him but I could not do anything but helplessly fall in love with him.I decided to come out to have a fresh breeze when I saw the guard running from one place to another, they all looked like they were in a hurry to go somewhere. Out of curiosity, I
Dominic’s pov. The gun shorts were massive, I never Expected it to be like this. For the past few days my men have been missing so I had Dickson look into it, he is my head of bodyguards. So today I decided to follow them to trace out where our men were missing, but now it seems like it was all a setup. Immediately we got here the gun shorts became massive. “Have you Called Darren for backup?” I asked Dickson. “Yes Boss, they are on their way” he replied to me, and I nodded my head at him. I knew of only one person who could do this kind of stuff and it was Jackson but what could he possibly gain from doing a fucking setup like this? When he knows he can’t even win. and in less than 5 minutes Darren should arrive with my men. The gunshots continued and by now a lot of their men were dead, and just in time Darren arrived. The moment our opponent saw our backup had arrived it gave them a slow spirit and made my men with me more determined to get rid of all these scumbags.
