Elena’s POV As I sat there, lost in thought, Sophia seemed to sense my unease. She placed a gentle hand on my arm, her touch warm and comforting, like a calming balm to my tired nerves.“Don’t worry, Elena,” she said, her voice soft and calm, like a gentle melody that seemed to calm my racing thoughts. “Soon enough You'll figure things out. Just be patient and try to see things in a different perspective.”I nodded slowly as I felt nothing but gratitude towards Sophia. She was the first person in this mansion who had shown me kindness and understanding, and I found myself drawn to her warm and caring nature.As we sat there in silence, I couldn't help but think about Dominic. What was his story? What had driven him to become the person he was today? The ruthless mafia boss who seemed to take pleasure in my fear and rage.Sophia seemed to notice my curiosity. “Dominic's past is complicated,” she said, her voice low and careful, as if she was sharing a secret that was meant to remain h

Dominic’s POVI woke up to the sound of my alarm, the loud ringing piercing through my eardrums and waking me up from my deep slumber.Tired, I Slowly reached over to turn it off, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. It was morning, and I had a big fucking day ahead of me.I swung my legs over the side of the bed and stood up, stretching my arms over my head and aching my back in reliving stretch.I yawned, I had been tossing and turning for hours, my mind racing with thoughts of the meeting with the Russians and the various scenarios that could play out.I made my way to the bathroom, flipping on the light switch, and looked at my reflection in the mirror. I looked like hell, my eyes bloodshot and my face pale. I splashed some water on my face, trying to wake myself up and wash away the fatigue. I rubbed my eyes, as I felt the weight of my responsibilities bearing down on me.As I dried my face, I couldn't help but think about Elena. She had been on my mind all night, her beautiful face

Dominic’s POVHe nodded, a small smile playing on his lips, his eyes gleaming with interest. “I think we can come to an agreement, Dominic,” he said, his voice filled with a hint of excitement.I felt satisfied with the outcome of our conversation, The meeting was a success. We had gained the Russian’s alliance, and I had come out on top as always. As we shook hands and finalized the details, I couldn't help but feel proud and accomplished. I had done it again. I had secured the alliance we needed, and I had proven myself as a leader, a true player in the world of organized crime.As the Russians left and James and I were alone once again, I turned to him with a soft smile, as I felt nothing but triumph. “That was a success,” I said, my voice filled with excitement.James nodded, smiling back at me, his eyes gleaming with pride. “You did it, boss,” he said, his voice filled with admiration. “You secured the alliance.”I nodded, feeling a sense of satisfaction and pride. “We make a go

Elena’s PovI stood in the doorway, watching what looked like a celebration unfold before my eyes. Dominic’s men seemed so excited, they were laughing and cheering, their faces filled with excitement. Dominic himself was standing in the center of the room, a glass of champagne in his hand, with a bright smile on his face.I was so fucking suprised as I had never seen Dominic like this before. He was always so serious, so intimidating. But now, he seemed….. happy.I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I didn't understand what was actually going on with them. Why were they celebrating so much? What had happened? Why were they so happy?As I stood there, trying to make sense of it all, I noticed one of dominic’s men approaching him. They spoke in low tones, their faces were so serious. I strained my ears but they was no way I could hear their conversation from such a far distance.I wondered what they must be up to, I needed to hear what they were talking about because I want t

Elena’s POV I raised an eyebrow, unsure of where he was going with this. What did he want from me?“I'm willing to offer you a place by my side for the main time though,” he said, his voice low and smooth. “You can help me make decisions.”I was taken aback by his offer, shocked by what he had just said. Me? Help him make decisions? It seemed absurd, judged by my situation. “But there's a catch,” he said, his eyes narrowing slightly. “You have to prove yourself to me. You have to show me that you're loyal, that you're trustworthy.”I hesitated, unsure of what to say. Part of me was tempted by his offer. I was keen to learn more about who Dominic truly was, to understand what made so tick.But another part of me was screaming to get out, to escape from this place and never look back.“What do you say, Elena?” Dominic asked. “Are you in?”I took a deep breath, weighing my options. I could refuse, try to find another way to escape. Or I could accept, play along and see where it took me

Selena’s POV I walked into the mansion, my heels clicking on the marble floor. I had stepped out for just a few hours, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.As I walked, I noticed that the mansion was spotless, as always, but there then I noticed some kind of disorder. The maids were scrubbing around, cleaning up what looked like the remnants of a party. I frowned, confusion etched on my face.I hadn’t been home for just some hours, and it seemed like a lot had happened in my absence. What had happened while I was away?I quickened my pace, my curiosity increasing. I approached one of the maids, a young girl who was scrubbing the floor with a mop.“Hey, what's going on?” I asked her, trying to sound casual despite the growing feeling of unease in my stomach.The maid hesitated, looking around nervously before leaning in close. “There was a celebration here, Miss Selena,” she whispered. “Mr. Dominic and his men…they were celebrating something.”I raised an eyebrow,

Selena’s POV I walked down the hallway, lost in thought, my heels clicking on the floor.But my thoughts were interrupted by a voice behind me.“Madam Selena.” I heard a familiar voice call out to me.I turned to see James, one of Dominic's most trusted men, if not the most trustworthy. He was standing right behind me. He was a tall, muscular man with a rugged face and a sharp jawline. He was putting on a black suit and His eyes seemed to bore into mine, as if he could see right through me.“What's up, James?” I asked, trying to sound casual as I didn’t want him to notice the unease in my expression as I had just been brought back from the land of thoughts by his voice. James glanced around nervously before leaning in closer. “I didn’t see you around during the celebration, I believe boss must have told you the reason for the celebration.”“Yes he did James, I stepped out for personal reasons. I’ve seen Dominic, and he has told me the reason for the little celebration,” I responded

Selena’s POV I stormed down the hallway, and I could feel my heart racing, my breath coming in short gasps. I was trying to hold back my emotions, but it was of no use.As I reached my room, I slammed the door shut behind me and leaned against it, trying to catch my breath. I felt like my lungs were going to explode, like my emotions were going to burst out of me at any moment.I took a deep breath and attempted to calm myself down, but it was no use. I felt like I was fucking losing control, like I was running out of breath.I walked over to the window and stared out at the gardens below. I could see the perfectly manicured lawns, the colorful flowers, the sparkling fountains. It was all so beautiful, so peaceful.But I didn't feel that peace. I felt angry, hurt, betrayed. I felt like Dominic had lied to me, like he had deceived me all these years even though he never for once, mentioned such things I still felt that way.I felt he should have known, should have figured it out that

Dominic POV "Ulterior motives eh?" I repeated and Selene nodded twice. “That's what I believe." selene affirmed. “She’s probably pushing your buttons, trying to get on your soft side so when you don't notice, she'll do what she's planning internally. What she harbors in mind." "Hmph," I said thinking, and Selene smiled.She probably thought in her head that if I gave her an inch, she was going to go a mile and keep adding fuel to fire so, Elena wouldn't be in my favour, but then, the conversation that seemed to be going North in her favour went south very fast. "What do you take me for?" I asked and Selene was caught off guard by the question."Uhm, what do you mean by that, Dominic?" She asked, genuinely confused. "Exactly what I said. What do you take me for?" I repeated, facing her and my expression had become grim and cold and Selene gulped nervously but she still stood her ground thinking of a way she could regain control of the conversation. If

Elena POVThe first kiss was totally unexpected. And even after it, I didn't know what I was going to expect from Dominic or even myself. There were too many emotions involved for me to make the right call on the particular reaction I was going to make. Or Dominic was going to make either.But then he does this—an unexpected after a previous unexpected.This kiss wasn't as soft as the previous one. This time, I could feel there was more intention and desire behind it.This time, it was more raw and passionate and I could even say clumsy. I had closed my eyes, feeling just sizzles in my body while his tongue searched around in my mouth.And in this moment, my body surprised me the most because it wasn't doing anything I thought it was supposed to do. That is, kick against it, stop him from tasting me, and get angry even.We continued to kiss for a minute before he finally dislodged his lips from mine, and I was surprised by how I was trying to catch my breath. I felt as if fire had bee

Elena POVIn that subtle moment, everything felt paused to me, like a movie. I didn't think a single thought ran through my mind before I rushed over to the side of Dominic's bed, kneeling on the ground as I felt my worry spike within me.“Dominic!” I said, my worry now very evident on my face as my eyes still remained locked on his wounded arm.I gently grabbed his arm and examined it. To me, it seemed that the wound, which was already wrapped before, had reopened again, and that was because there were two shades of blood, with one darker than the other. It must have been from when he stood up abruptly from the bed and told Selene to leave, I think.“What happened to you while you were away? How did you get this wound?” I asked, hungry for answers. But then, seconds passed and I didn't get any answers to my questions.Dominic just sat there silently. He wasn't looking at his wound or at my hand, which I used to apply pressure on the wound so that the bleeding would slow down. To me,

Elena's POV“What's happening here?” I asked, ignoring Selene’s previous question as my eyes darted between Selene and Dominic, laying so still it almost felt like he was a log of wood.“What are you doing to him? Why is he—” I didn’t finish my next question before Selene jumped to her feet and rushed to me, using her hand to cover my mouth so I wouldn’t keep talking.“Shhhh,” she said, turning to Dominic, seeing that he only grunts a bit and then continues to sleep. She exhaled in relief and faced me with her earlier cold expression.“I asked you, why did you come inside?” she said, but her tone was low and stern as well.“Why wouldn’t I? I was very curious. I didn’t understand what you meant by your statement and again, you didn’t come out, so I didn’t know what to do and I couldn’t keep waiting outside,” I replied, also keeping my voice low.“Well, the best thing for you to have done is to go back to your room and wait till Dominic has decided to go to his office or somewhere you c

Elena POV I reached the door and started hearing footsteps—someone was walking around inside—and I exhaled lightly. I know I’ve already made up my mind to see him as fast as possible, but now, I didn’t just want to barge in. That isn't something he would like. So, I composed myself and slowly moved to enter the office. When I entered, he was facing his chair and backing me so I couldn't see his face. “Dominic,” I said, taking a few steps into the room. But the man turned, and I was surprised. It wasn’t Dominic, but one of his men. “Sorry,” I apologized, a bit embarrassed—good thing I didn’t put more emotion into calling his name. “I thought you were him.” “No, ma’am,” the man replied. “The boss isn't here yet, I just came in order to take a document.” “Whose orders?” I asked. “The boss’s orders, ma’am,” the man replied. “Dominic’s? He’s back?” I asked, surprised. “Yes, ma’am. He came in last night,” the man replied. “Last night? How come I didn’t notice?” I asked more of mys

Elena POVI didn’t sleep much last night.In my head, my conflicting thoughts were too much of a bother to allow me to lie down and get up to three hours of rest and so, I ended up sleeping outside for a few minutes before I woke up again. From the way I saw it, it felt as if the night just went by in minutes.All this while, I was thinking but yet, I still wasn't able to find a suitable answer to settle my worries. I sighed dejectedly and got on my feet, deciding it was better to go back to my room. There was no reason for me to keep answering questions with questions. I had to try and get some sleep, even if it was just a little.The soft ticking of the big clock in the hallway was the only sound accompanying my racing thoughts.There was something wrong, something off. And I could feel it.Every corner of this mansion seemed to carry hidden details of secrets I wasn't seeing.It felt like betrayal and a blend of other eerie things were going on from beyond the facade of it all, an

Dominic POVI just spent the last few minutea trying to stabilize myself and calm my nerves. Things were unraveling at a rate I wasn't catching up to in time. And I need to, before things get worse than they already are.“Boss.” Gabe called my attention, and I turned to him with an angry look. Not necessarily because he was disturbing me—I was just mad at everything right now.“I'm sorry, boss, but what do we do with her now?” Gabe asked me, and I shifted my gaze from him to Johanna, who still had a pool of tears streaming down her face. Her eyes were still locked on her brother’s lifeless body, and I sighed dejectedly and walked in front of Johan, covering his eyes before I shifted my gaze to her, shielding the body from her sight as I said,“This wasn’t how things were supposed to go.” I paused, looking at her, but she had shut her eyes, still biting on Gabe’s hand, who seemed to be enduring the pain. I signaled to him to let go, and he took his hand off her mouth. She kept weeping

Dominic POV“Would you like some tea?” I said mockingly, and Johan gulped even harder this time. I could see him starting to shake in his spot, his eyes darting around the room for a way to escape.“We've waited all this time for you,” I continued, enjoying the moment. “Your sister here gave us assurance you'd be back soon, so we took her words. Else we’d have taken her,” I added with a look over to Johanna, and she clenched the blanket she was holding even tighter. It was from fear—the more, the better. It would make things easier for me, easier to get information from Johan when he knew what was truly at stake.He had a look of desperation on his face, and in a sharp move, he turned toward the door. But he didn't take two steps before the man already behind him slammed the door shut. The impact made Johan fidget. He turned toward the stairs, desperate to run up them, but another of my men stood in his path. He slid and fell to the ground, his eyes locking onto the fire alarm. He was

Dominic POV I sat behind my desk in the study room, my knuckles pressed into my temple, while, with my other hand, I flipped through a document I wasn't bent on reading. I wasn't concentrating on the document, not really. Not since that damn message came in. A set of knocks on the door was easily enough to draw my attention and my eyes left the document. “Come in,” I said, and the next second, James walked in with an expression that made me curious. Clasping my hands together, I asked, “What is it?” “We found him,” James said. My eyes narrowed as I proceeded to ask, “Where?” “He’s currently at an abandoned duplex towards the southern part from here. It shouldn't be up to a two-hour drive. The man’s name is Johan. From what I've gathered, he works at a computer shop. Not too far from where he lives. He’s got a sister—just got discharged from a hospital.” I raised an eyebrow and James continued. “Cancer. Most likely in its late stage, from what we can tell.” My gaze left James
