DOMINIC'S POV

I sat staring at the names that Emily had come up with. Some of the people on the list were dead or in prison but some were out and would definitely want revenge. It was understandable. Adam worked for most of the criminals while being an agent. He had always been a snake that was not to be trusted. Trying to find whoever this person was would require a very thorough investigation and I was not sure we had that type of time on our hands.

I picked up my phone and dialled Lorenzo and asked him to come to my office again. He appeared very quickly. My men knew how much I didn't like anybody wasting my time.

“Lorenzo.”

“Yes, boss.”

“Did you find anything on that phone number?” I asked him.

“Yes sir. The text was sent from a small village in Rome.” He said.

“Very good. Now, I want you to look into all the names on the list,” I handed him the paper with the names. “I need every information you can find on these people. I do not want any mistakes.”

“Yes, boss. I will sta

    EMILY’S POV I allowed myself to melt into Dominic's arms and to enjoy the comfort of his words. For just a few moments I pretended like there was no danger and it was just me and Dominic in the world. I listened to his heart beating wildly and I wondered if I was the reason for it or if it was because he was very angry. When we pulled away from each other, his eyes were wild with passion and heat. He brought his hands to my cheeks and he began to caress it tenderly. He stared into my eyes intensely as usual, like he was trying to know what was going on in my mind. He was already in my heart; I didn't think that I could handle it if I let him into my head, too. “Do you believe me, amore mio?” He asked with a serious expression on his face. “About what?” I asked, a confused expression on my face. “That I will protect you?” He said, his voice filled with emotion in a way that I had never heard before. It made my heart squeeze. It was like all his walls had crumbled and he was sta

    DOMINIC'S POVMy feet touched Italian soil for the first time in a long time. It felt good to be back even though it was only for a short while. Italy would always be home no matter where I went and I could not wait for this whole mess to be sorted out so I could return. One of my allies, Victor Rinaldi, came to pick me up from the airport. He was going to help me execute my plan perfectly. I have known Rinaldi for a very long time and I knew that I could trust him. We always did business together and we had some close ties because we had grown up together. “Dominic, it is so good to see you, brother. It has been ages.” He said with his thick Italian accent when I got into the car and we shared a brotherly hug. He always had a smile on his face and he could fool people into thinking that he was not a cold-blooded monster. I once watched Victor gouge someone's eyes out with just his fingers. Sometimes, the man even scared me a little. He was not someone that you ever wanted to have

    DOMINIC'S POV Victor's estate is exactly as I remember it. It is a reflection of his personality which is vibrant and extravagant and very secure. Armed men were positioned at every part of the estate with stoned expressions on their faces that were meant to intimidate. Victor was always on the alert which was why it was hard for anybody to go against him. As we pulled into the driveway, my mind was filled with thoughts of Emily. My mind was going through my conversation with Victor. I hated that Victor could see right through me. I had spent years training myself not to feel and how to control my emotions—I had to have total control. I had to be ruthless, detached and cruel. Love was a weakness and liability, I didn't want to feel it, but I couldn't shake thoughts of Emily away from my mind. The car came to a stop and Victor's men opened the door for us. Victor came out of the car before me, and he stretched his arms as though he'd just come from a long journey and not a thirty-mi

    DOMINIC'S POV The next day, Victor and I were in his office. He leaned back against his chair and swirled the whiskey in his cup before taking a sip. “I just heard from my sources that she will be at the gala tomorrow night.” He informed me. “What is security like?” “High security, but nothing we can't handle.” I nodded my head slowly, trying to put a plan together in my head. “Tell me what you've got.” “Sophia will be arriving at the party by nine in the evening. She will be escorted by two bodyguards. They are highly trained, her brother won't want to take chances.” We spent more time talking about how to execute our plan the next day. “We need men inside to blend in. I can't go because he would recognize me. You will have to go and watch over things.” I told him. “Yeah, don't worry. My men and I will take care of everything.” “Dino may not show up for the gala, it is not really a Mafia event. It is for charity and it is not really his space. But we need to be prepared if

    DOMINIC'S POV I paced up and down Victor's office as unease gripped my stomach and refused to allow me to be still. Victor and his men had been gone for over half an hour and I had not heard anything from them. My mind was running with all sorts of negative possibilities. Were their covers blown? Did Dino stop them? The only thing that kept me sane was their trackers. I could still see that they were at the location, so they might be waiting for the right time to take Sofia. After what felt like forever, the earpiece that I had on finally came alive at the sound of Victor's voice, causing my tension to ease a bit. “Hey. Sofia has been hanging in the arms of a man. He refuses to let her leave his side, but she's leaving for the powder room now.” He said. “Okay. That means it is time to strike.” I told him. “Fuck!” He cursed bitterly. “What is wrong?” I asked, being suddenly alarmed. “Dino just walked in,” Victor said.“Fuck!” This could ruin my plans drastically. Dino was not sup

I opened my eyes and jumped out of bed, immediately alarmed and ready to fight, until the lights came on, and I came face to face with Dominic wh, who had an amused look on his face. “What the hell are you doing? You scared me.” I said with annoyance. “Are you always ready to fight?” He teased me. “I don't know if you noticed, but I am always in danger so yeah, I am always ready to fight. Did you just get back?” “Yes, I just did.” He said, moving closer to me. I had missed his presence so much that I jumped into his arms without thinking twice. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. “I missed you.” He said, his voice thick with emotions.I buried my face in his chest, inhaling his scent. “I missed you too.”, admitted. He pulled away from me and examined my face for any sign of deception, when he didn't find any, his face softened. He cupped the back of my head and pressed his lips

    EMILY’S POV I walked into Dominic's office and I found him seething as he was deep in thought. When he noticed me, his features softened a bit. “What's wrong?” I asked him as I took the chair opposite him. “First of all, when you're in a room with me, the only place you can sit is on my lap.” He said sternly. I moved to sit on his lap, more eager than I would have liked to show. It was like my body had a mind of its own. “Good girl.” He said and pressed a kiss to my forehead. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I snaked my arms around his neck. “Now can you tell me what is wrong?” “I just got a call from Dino.” He said. “He's pissed and he threatened to kill me if I hurt a hair on his sister's head.” “And what did you tell him?” “I told him his sister is tied up in my basement, and if he wants her to keep being safe, then he must do as I say, or else, he'll have her back in a body bag.” He said darkly. I could see that the thought of it excited him. “Are you really going

    SOFIA'S POVI opened my eyes slowly, and a sharp pain shot through my head. I groaned as I tried to make sense of everything that was happening. Everything was blurry, but I knew that I was not at my brother's house. I could make out that I was in a large bedroom, almost as large as my bedroom at home. The door knob twisted and then I heard footsteps walking into the room. When I turned to see who it was, I expected to see Dino, but the figure was much taller and larger than Dino. I could not make out his face, but I felt alarmed and I knew that I was in danger. “Finally, you are awake.” The strange man said. I tried to talk, but only a moan escaped my lips. “Don't worry, you are safe for now. The only thing I want from you is to give me any information you have about Dominic Moreno.” The man said. I had heard that name before countless times, my brother was obsessed with taking him down, but I didn't pay much attention to anything he had to say because I was not interested in all

    DOMINIC'S POV The estate in Sydney was almost like a luxurious fortress. It was hidden in the hills and surrounded by thick, beautiful eucalyptus trees and placed at the back of miles of private land. The main house was modern—a smart house, it was beautifully decorated, and we made sure it was heavily secured with state-of-the-art security surveillance, motion sensors, and encrypted alarm systems; I got heavily armed men patrolling the grounds every time. We got them from a security agency with heavily trained men from the military. But still, my mind was not at ease. We had only been in Australia for a week, but I could not shake away the heaviness that was in my chest. Emily and the rest of the girls were trying to adjust. Emily was putting on a brave face for the girls and Sofia, but I could still feel the tension in her body and the worry in her eyes. The attack had left a mark on everybody. “Dominic, we have finished installing the facial recognition system on the North and

    DOMINIC'S POV I unlocked the room and went over to the bathroom to let the girls out. The moment the door came open, Emily flew into my arms. Anita did the same thing. “I am so glad that you are okay,” Emily said I could hear the relief in her voice. “I am glad you are alright, too,” I told them. They were my major concern and the reason why I didn't bring the roof down on those motherfuckers. The rest of the day, I worked tirelessly to find out who had been responsible for the whole thing. I had a new threat, and this one was very bold. “Dominic, I am so worried,” Emily said as she sat down on my lap. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close to me. I pressed a kiss to her forehead. “I'm worried too, especially since I do not know who this is.” “What's going to happen?” “We have to move. I can't keep you guys here and I have to be in Italy to deal with the Mendez issue. Imagine if I was not home when the attack happened.” “I am so glad you were here. I don't think I

    DOMINIC'S POV The night was very quiet, so it was my instincts screaming at me to wake up. Something didn't feel right, I was sure of it. I listened carefully for any sound that would indicate trouble, but the night was still, very quiet, but that in itself was troubling. Beside me, Emily shifted softly. I tucked a strand of hair behind her ears and pressed a kiss to her forehead before slipping out of bed. I walked over to the window, careful not to make a sound. I pulled the curtain back carefully and peered outside. The yard was glimmering with the moonlight. Lorenzo had men patrolling before everybody went to sleep, but I didn't see any of them, which only heightened my suspicion that something was definitely wrong. I pulled on a shirt and sweatpants and pulled out my gun from the drawer where I hid it. I walked through the dimly lit hallway. The lights were off just as I left them before we went to sleep, but when I got to the kitchen, I froze, the door was slightly ajar. I w

    DOMINIC'S POVI woke up very early the next morning and woke Emily up too. I had a surprise for her. I knew it was a lot to keep her locked away in the house for so long so I decided to take her out to see the city. Nobody knew we were in Ireland so I knew it would be safe. I stared at her for a while before waking her up, mesmerised by the way the sun kissed her beautiful skin. I almost did not want to wake her up, but I had to. Gently, I pushed her hair back and pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Wake up, my love,” I whispered. She stirred before her eyes finally fluttered open and she looked at me with a frown for disturbing her face. “Dominic, what's the time?” She asked with a groan. “Much too early for questions, my darling. Wake up, I have a surprise for you today. You have to get dressed.” I told her. She sat up and looked at me with narrowed eyes. “I hope this surprise does not involve any gunshots.” She warned. I warm laugh erupted from my throat. “Of course, not. I pro

    EMILY’S POV Dominic and I did not leave the room till it was time for dinner. We spent the time wrapped up in each other’s arms, talking, making love. It was as though we were in our own little bubble that we created for ourselves away from the rest of the world. It was as though the problems of the world ceased to exist—if only for a moment. It was beautiful and I wished it would never end. “We better get downstairs for dinner before everyone assumes that we are dead.” I told Dominic, making him to chuckle. He rubbed his nose against mine softly. “Do we have to? I never want to get out of this bed. To keep on worshipping your gorgeous body.” I giggled and pushed him away playfully. “Tempting as that sounds, we have to get down to dinner. I am hungry.” “Okay. If you insist.” He groaned and I could not help but laugh at his expression. We both got ready for dinner and then walked down the stairs and into the dining room hand in hand. When we walked into the room, Daniella, Anita

    EMILY’S POV “I want you on the bed.” His voice was strong with the order. I nodded and crawled into the bed and laid down on my back. “God, you're so perfect. Every inch of you is so beautiful. You're all mine. Nobody else will ever touch your precious body, except me.” He said as he moved closer to me and kissed my lips. “Say it, Emily. Say you're mine.” “I am yours, Dominic. All yours.” I told him in a desperate voice. “Good girl.” He whispered. He stood in front of me and began to strip out of his own clothes. Unlike his usual dark corporate attire, he was dressed in casual black slacks and a white polo tee shirt that hugged every inch of his sexy body. But very soon, he stood naked before me. His bulging shaft stood erect and begging for release. I wanted nothing more than to wrap my fingers around him and bring him to my mouth, but he was in total control of everything that was happening and I needed to follow his lead. “Spread your legs for me and touch yourself.” He orde

    EMILY’S POV I melted into Dominic's arms, the tension from the month leaving my body. It was a compromise that I could live with and it made me feel good because it made me feel like he chose me and our future together. I spent the entire month wondering if Dominic had chosen to let me go. I was already prepared to leave, but I was glad that wasn't the case. “I am so glad you're here. I missed you so much.” I whispered into his strong chest. “I had to come see you. I knew you were angry with me and I had to make it right face-to-face. It was the least you deserved.” I explained, tightening his hold around me.“I was very upset. I thought you'd chosen to let me go.” I admitted. He kissed the top of my head. “I'd never do that. I told you, I am never going to let you go. That would be like ripping myself apart and throwing the most important part away. I can't survive without you. You're a part of my soul. I'd die before I let you go.” I could hear the strong emotions in his voice,

    DOMINIC'S POV The car stopped just in front of the door of the house. Just like last time, nobody except Victor, Barry and Ezra knew that I was travelling back to Ireland to see Emily. The moment I stepped out of the car, Anita stormed through the door and jumped into my arms. “Papa!” She exclaimed. My heart was filled with instant joy as I caught her in my arms and spun her around. I buried my face in her hair and inhaled the scent of her it always brought me peace and gave me a sense of home. “I missed you so much.” She whispered and I tightened my hold on her. “Oh, princess, I've missed you too, more than you will ever know.” When I opened my eyes, I found Emily by the door, staring at me and my daughter. Our eyes locked, and I could see plenty of emotions swimming in hers. Her arms were crossed on her chest and I knew that she was holding back emotions—anger, hurt, relief… it was hard to tell. I gently put Anita down and I pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Go inside; I'll sho

    DOMINIC'S POV The pain in my side had finally begun to dull. I could move a bit and I was sick and tired of being indoors. I'd not stepped outside in almost three weeks and it was sickening. I moved with the aid of my crotches and then I sat outside. It was nice to breathe in fresh, unadulterated air. I needed to clear my head and be away from everybody, but the silence only made my thoughts louder. I felt bad that I had not spoken to Emily since she was here, but that was because I needed the space between us. Needed both of us to have the chance to think about what we both wanted. I knew for sure that I didn't want to let this life go, but I also knew that I didn't want to let Emily go either. Victor's words echoed in my head. “Sometimes the action has to end and you have to settle down and focus on what is important.” I knew he was right, but I was not sure that it was something that I was willing to accept. I only knew how to survive by the barrel of the gun, asking me to surv
