The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 117: 'Love'
EMILY’S POVDominic's words made me stop. I looked at him and he looked just as shocked as I was by his words. I could not have ever expected those words to leave Dominic's mouth. Love was not something men like Dominic gave freely. They dominated, they controlled—but they did not love. “You think you love me?” It was more of a question to myself than it was to him. I wanted to scoff and tell him that he was lying. That he was only saying it because of the heat of the moment. I wanted to tell him that he would take it back before the day was over. He grabbed a hold of my waist and pulled me close to him, so close that I could feel his hot breath on my face. “That's the only explanation that makes sense.” He said, a serious expression on his face as he looked me deeply into my eyes. “Explanation to w…what?” I stuttered, trying to control my voice. “To why I feel this way… to why I feel like I need you and I can't breathe without you. Why I want to protect you and never let you go.

DOMINIC'S POV As though he could listen to my thoughts, my phone began to vibrate again. I didn't even have to look at the phone to know that it was Dino who was calling me. I declined the call and switched off. These days, the only person I hoped to call me was the mystery caller. The fact that I still did not know who it was from, was driving me crazy. A knock sounded on my door, disrupting my thoughts. “Come in,” I said. Barry walked into my office, looking calm and in control as always. I missed the days when I was just as stoic as Barry before Emily came and flipped my world upside down. “What is it?” I demanded. I wanted to be alone and his presence was not welcomed. Unfazed, Barry said, “Dino has been spotted near the warehouse in Italy. He's getting really desperate.” “Let him wait. I like how restless he is.” I said. “He will soon break and when that happens, he will give me whatever I want.” “And what about Sofia? How long do you plan on keeping her here?” He asked. “

EMILY’S POV I walked into Sofia's room to find her with a book in her hand. She looked up from the pages when I walked in. It was odd watching her sit in my clothes when we were the direct opposite of each other. My clothes were a little too small on her because she was taller than me, but she still made it work. I did not think that a woman like Sofia could ever look bad in anything. “Hey,” I told her softly. She set the book aside. “Hello.” “How'd you get the book?” I asked her curiously. “I asked the maid that brings me food if she can get me one. I assumed that there would be no problem with it; I am a guest, after all.” I heard the sarcasm dripping heavily from her voice. I sighed. I understood that it was hard for her to trust me or anybody in the house, but I hated how she treated me like the enemy when all I was trying to do was help her. She did not know the plans that Dominic had in store for her. The more she resisted my help, the more she gave reason for Dominic to r

DINO'S POV “We've searched all of Italy for him. He is not in this country, and nobody seems to know where he is.” Max, my cousin told me. It had been over a week since Sofia had been kidnapped by that bastard, and I could not find him anywhere. I hated the fact that he always seemed to be one step ahead of me. Dominic Moreno was a virus, the kind that had no cure and you could never get rid of him. When my father was alive, he had an obsession with overthrowing Dominic and taking over his empire, but he was not able to. He made me promise that if anything ever happened to him, I would take care of Dominic by myself. The more I went into this, the more it looked like I could never take the asshole down, but I would not give up; this was a fight to the death. “Where could he be? Sofi is in danger and we need to find a way to rescue her. This is my mess, she has nothing to do with this.” “We can keep looking, but I cannot promise that we will find anything. Sofia is a strong gi

DOMINIC'S POVI could see the tension in her shoulders as she went about her activities. I could not stand the fact that she was lying to me, but I also wouldn't reveal that I knew that she was getting nowhere with Sofia, so I continued to probe. “I hope you're not letting your emotions cloud your judgement?” I told her. She stopped what she was doing and then she turned to look at me. “Can you just trust me, already?” “I trust you. But I don't trust you not to let your emotions cloud your judgement when it comes to this. Sofia is not as innocent as she looks.” “And what makes you say that?” She shot back. “I don't have all the facts, but my gut tells me she is trouble and I have never been wrong.” I shot back. “Maybe your gut is telling you she is in trouble because you do not like her. She has never done anything to deserve the treatment that you want to give her.” She said strongly. “You just need to give me some more time so she can trust me.” I let out a humourless laugh.
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-21The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 122: Bond
EMILY’S POV I rushed back to the room after eavesdropping on the conversation between Dominic and Anita. My heart was racing in my chest and I had to fight hard to catch my breath. Dominic had just admitted to his daughter that he was in love with me, and he knew I was in love with him; all he was waiting for was for me to confess it to him. If I ever confessed my feelings out loud to Dominic, then it would make it real. It was scary putting your heart in the hands of someone. It was even scarier when you could not see a future without them in it, how the thought of losing them makes your chest hurt physically. Telling him would make those feelings too real and that was what I was scared of. Dominic and I were getting married, but it was a dangerous world we lived in, and he could die. What was I supposed to do with myself? I pushed the thoughts about Dominic's feelings towards me out of my mind and shifted my thoughts to what Dominic said to me. I could not lie that he had gotten

SOFIA'S POV I inhaled the fresh hair the moment we stepped outside. It felt like a little taste of freedom even though I was not actually free. It felt good to be away from that room. To feel the sun on my skin, to breathe in the natural air—it was exhilarating. I wish I could enjoy it alone, but Emily was beside me and two bodyguards walked behind us. She was quiet, and she also looked over the scenery, almost as though she was looking at it for the first time. I could not lie, whoever was in charge of Dominic's estate was doing a very good job with it. The grasses were properly trimmed, the flowers were blooming, and even the exterior of his mansion was exquisite. It suddenly occurred to me that I did not even know where I was. “What part of Italy is this?” I asked Emily. She turned her attention away from the flowers and turned to look at me. “We are not in Italy. We are in Ireland.” My heart sank. I had never been to Ireland before, I didn't even know anybody that lived here.

DOMINIC'S POV I watched as Emily and Sofia walked and talked from the window in my office. The placement of the windows allowed me to see every angle and corner of the estate. They seemed to be deep in conversation and I wondered what they were talking about. This was why I preferred for them to talk in her room, where I could hear whatever was happening; I hated being left in the dark, especially since I knew that Emily could not be honest with me. My phone began to ring, bringing me out of my reverie. I pulled it out of my pocket to see that it was an unknown number that was calling me. My heart sank, knowing it was the mystery caller again. I had not heard from him again after that first call, and a part of me wished he had given up. The FBI and Dino were after me, but I could handle them because I knew where they were and who they were. This was a bigger threat to me because I had no idea who this was. I answered the call immediately. “Hello.” “Your time is ticking. Savour t

The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 146
EMILY’S POVMy heart broke as I watched Dominic say his goodbye to Anita and Daniella. Daniella gave him a curt goodbye and stood at the side, but Anita was crying her eyes out at having to watch her father go. I cried also; I knew what was going through her mind; it was the same thing that was going through my mind, too. The fact is anything could happen, and we could never see him again. He could die. He looked at me, I could see the anger in his eyes…anger at the situation, anger at seeing his daughter cry, anger at everything that had brought him to this place. His eyes burned with fury. I walked up to him and threw my arms around him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. “I'm so sorry.” He whispered into my ears. “Just come back.” “As soon as I can get away again, I'll be back.” He promised and then he left. I pulled Anita into my arms as he sobbed. I watched as Daniella stood there looking awkward, but something was going on that caught my atten
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 145
DOMINIC'S POV I kissed Emily wildly and passionately as I led her to the bed, everything in me craved to be inside her. I was losing my mind in Italy, and on an impulse, I came back to see her. Being away from her was like hell, it was like a part of me was missing. The thing with the Cartel was getting too heated, and I could not be away for too long, but I needed a moment to breathe. The deeper we got into it, the more I wondered if this was actually going to end well for me. I pushed all thoughts of the war out of my head and I focused on Emily. Her plush, soft, sweet lips are on mine. I picked her up and placed her on the bed. I pulled away from her lips and trailed kisses from her neck to her stomach before coming back up to admire her perfect body, her skin was glowing with the light from the moon casting upon her. I could barely believe that she was mine. “Il sole, la luna e le stelle si inchinano alla tua bellezza.” I whispered to her. She looked at me in wonder and pure
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 144
EMILY’S POV I let out a piercing scream as my eyes flew open and I turned around to see the intruder, only to be met with Dominic's piercing ocean-blue eyes. “Shit, you scared me,” I said, my hands placed on my chest. He gave me a sympathetic smile. “I didn't mean to startle you, my love. I only wanted to surprise you.” My fear gave way to delight and I jumped into his arms. “What are you doing here? I was so worried about you?” “I missed you too much, I had to come back and see you. I was going insane. I'll have to leave first thing in the morning.” He told me, but I didn't care how long he stayed, all that mattered to me was that he was here with me. “I am so glad you're here,” I whispered. “Me too, amore mio, me too.” He whispered before taking my lips in his. He pressed me against the wall as his tongue took over my mouth, I'd missed the taste of him even though he'd only been away for a week. His hands roamed my wet body as the water continued to wash over the two of us.
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 143
EMILY’S POVIt has been three days since I had heard from Dominic since the last time that we spoke and I had to force myself not to worry about it. I needed a distraction. I walked into Sofia's room and found her with a book in her hand. I felt bad for being away for so long because I'd been distracted. She was probably losing her mind spending the whole day in this room. I decided it was time to give her some freedom. Dominic was not around and I was in charge. Plus, Dominic and Dino were now working together. “Hey,” I said. “Hey,” Sofia responded. “I'm sorry I've not been here to check in on you for a while. But I decided that since Dominic and Dino have reached an agreement and are now working together, there is no need to keep you locked up in this room. You deserve to have a bit of freedom. Move around the house and stuff.” I told her. Her face was bright, but she looked uncertain. “Would that sit well with your fiancé?” “What does it matter? He's not here. Plus I am in ch
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 142
DOMINIC'S POV The smell of blood and gunpowder filled the air as I stood in the middle of the chaos that had just occurred. We had taken back my warehouse, but of course, the cost of it was the lifeless bodies that were littered all over the floor—some of the men from my side and the majority from the Mendez Cartel. I had won this part of the war, but I could not dwell on it for long because I knew worse attacks were on the way. Victor walked up beside me, wiping blood off his hands with a piece of clothing. We were both covered in blood. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes carried the same burden of fatigue that I felt in my bones also. “We've won this one.” He remarked. I nodded, still looking at the havoc before me. Williams had been nowhere to be found causing me to be disappointed. Williams was a desperate man… he was desperate for revenge and that was what made him more dangerous and a big threat to me—one that needed to be eliminated. “How many men did we lose?” I
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 141: Nightmare
DOMINIC'S POVThe cold air bit into my skin as I stood on the balcony of Victor's mansion. I was exhausted, but my mind was too restless to let me sleep. The moon cast its pale glow over the estate, making it look especially magnificent. The view reminded me of Emily, I wish she was here so we could enjoy the scenery together.I let out a sigh. Tomorrow would be a bloodbath. Many lives would have to be taken to recover the warehouse that was taken from me. If Williams and his accomplice thought they could launch attacks on me with no consequences, then they had another thing coming. They thought I was scared of them. I wasn't—not anymore. I'd had many battles, but this was more important because it felt like I had something to lose. I had to protect Emily and Anita at all costs. ***EMILY’S POV I woke up drenched in sweat and breathing very hard as a result of the nightmare I'd just had. It had been so vivid, I was shocked to find out that it was a dream, but I was glad it was just
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 140 : Scared
EMILY’S POVMy phone rang and I rushed to answer it, knowing it was Dominic. I had been waiting for his call since he left. “Dominic…” I whispered into the phone, my voice shaking. “My love. I am here. I arrived at Victor's house an hour ago. I am exhausted.” He told me and I could hear the fatigue in his voice. A sob escaped my mouth even though I tried to stop it, the worry I had been feeling finally taking over. “I'm so glad you're okay. I was so scared. How's everything down there?” There was a heavy silence, almost as though he was trying to figure out whether to tell me or not. “There is nothing for you to be worried about. Everything is under control.” His voice was filled with confidence, but I did not believe him. I knew that even if I pushed for a response, I wasn't going to get anything more from him. For now, I was just grateful to be hearing his voice. “Okay. Be careful.” “I will. How are things over there?” “Everything is fine. I've been shopping with the girls…
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 139: Strategy
EMILY’S POVI watched as Dominic packed his bags, wishing he didn't have to go, but I knew that he did not have a choice. We shared a long, passionate kiss, and he moved away from me. The look in his eyes sent chills down my spine. “I should not be away for long, maybe a week. I'll call you when I land.” “Okay,” I told him weakly, knowing that there was nothing more to say. He nodded and then he walked out of the room. The moment he left the room, an unsettling feeling washed over me. I knew Dominic was strong, but this wasn't just any war that he was fighting. He was going against people who wanted his blood in return for the life that he took for them. That was practically a death sentence. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to get rid of the chills that took over my body that had nothing to do with the temperature. This was the part that I hated… the uncertainty, the waiting, not knowing how things would go from here. A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts. “C
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 138
DOMINIC'S POV“They've launched an attack.” Barry and Ezra came to my office with the bad news the next morning, ruining my good mood and high spirits. “What did they do?” I asked through gritted teeth. “They intercepted one of our shipment drops and killed three of our men,” Ezra said. “Fuck, they've already begun to strike,” I said, feeling anxious because I did not have a plan yet. Just as I was trying to think about what to do, my phone rang with a call from Victor. I answered immediately. “I just heard what happened.” He said. “You need to come down to Italy right away. I've got thirty allies and we need to come up with a plan.” My jaw clenched and my mind was racing. Going to Italy meant leaving my family behind and who was going to be checking on things while I was gone? But I had to go, I needed everything Victor had to offer to help me fight this. I could not do this on my own. I needed the strategy and most importantly, the allies. “I'll be there tonight,” I assured h
