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

    DOMINIC'S POV I tapped my foot rapidly on the floor as anxiety took over. Lorenzo, Ezra and Barry walked into my office a day after the call just as I had instructed them to do. “What have you found?” “The number is untraceable. I can't find the location or any digital footprint that could lead us to whoever this person is.” Lorenzo said, looking a bit defeated. “I'll keep searching, but whoever did this is a professional and has made it extremely hard for anybody to find them.” “How about you guys?” I asked Ezra and Barry. “We spoke to our connects, but they did not know anything. We will keep searching, but Lorenzo is right. Whoever this is is not messing around, they do not want to be found.” Barry said. “Well, nobody does not exist. They definitely have a trail and we have to keep searching till we find it.” “What of Victor, has he found anything?” It was Ezra who asked that time around. “I'll call him right now to find out. You all are dismissed. Keep trying to see what y

    EMILY’S POV I was out of my mind with need and decided to use the opportunity to take what I wanted. I was sick and tired of fighting with Dominic and feeling like I needed him at the same time. As he kissed me, I took the opportunity to unbuckle his trousers and bring out his cock. I had deliberately not worn anything under. I wanted him and I was unashamed to let him know. His response let me know that I was not in this alone. I stood up to give myself room to sit on his hard shaft. He groaned and I moaned as we connected. He brought his lips to my mouth and grabbed my thighs. I began to move up and down and he made me thrust for thrust. I could feel him deep inside me. It made me feel like I always did whenever we were together, it felt right. We moved as one, like pieces of a puzzle that fit together. Like there was nobody else on the planet that was made to be inside me except for him. I was made for him and he was made for me. When we were together, nothing else mattered exc

    DOMINIC'S POVFinally, I had a lead. It was not much, but it was more than I had in the morning. I stared at the file in front of me. Adam might have been working with the Mexicans, but I had to be sure. They seemed like the most likely suspects, but something was not adding up. The person who called me did not have a Mexican accent, in fact, they sounded American. That was what did not make sense the most to me. Plus, whoever this was, they were using very high-profile technology. The Mexicans didn't really do stuff like that. “Maybe this is what you have been looking for,” Emily said, staring at the file along with me. I looked at her and shook my head. “No, it doesn't feel like it. It is worth looking into, but I don't think this is where I'll find what I am looking for. The person I spoke to on the phone was American. Didn't have an accent at all.” “You know there are Mexicans that have stayed in the state for so long that they sound like us. I've had cases with a lot of them.

    DOMINIC'S POVThe call from my mother came very early in the morning. I had not spoken to her in months and I knew that I would be in trouble because of it. It has always been hard for me to relate to my mother. I made sure she had everything that she needed because Caterina Moreno was a woman that liked the finer things in life and once she had everything that she wanted, she didn't bother about anything else that was going on. I had not even told her about my engagement to Emily, but I knew she would not have a problem with it, she liked Emily. “Hello, mother,” I told her when I answered the call. “Oh, so you remember that you have a mother that birthed you. You did not even have the decency to tell me that you have left Italy. I don't know where my own son is.” She said, sounding overly dramatic. I knew she wanted something and that was the only reason why she even cared about my presence. “Oh, mother, don't be dramatic. Since when have you cared about my whereabouts?” “I've al

    DOMINIC'S POV My legs shook with anxiety as my mind tried to process everything that was going on. Time was ticking and I was still yet to find any information on what Dino's plans were. I knew that it was something involving my new shipments, especially since that was what he and his father wanted. I just wasn't sure if he had something else up his sleeves. My phone vibrated with a text message from Victor. “I checked Williams out. He's clean on the surface, but when I dug deeper, I found out that he is receiving large sums of money from an offshore account. The account is a shell account, but I traced it back to someone that we know very well—Carlos Mendez.” I cursed under my breath after reading the last part of the message. Carlos Mendez was a powerful drug lord. He owned one of the biggest cartels in the whole of Mexico. He was a dangerous man and nobody wanted to ever cross him. In fact, at some point, he had been one of our suppliers until our deal ran out and we found

    SOFIA'S POVAfter our walk in the garden, Emily seemed to be spending less time with me. She only came in for two hours a week. It was more of her asking me a bunch of questions, probably trying to see what sort of information she could get from me. But I was careful about what I told her. I also wanted to find out things from her—like when Dominic planned to let me go, what his plan was for Dino and I was hoping the closer we got, the more she would begin to see me as a friend and I could get her to allow me to use her phone. I knew it was unlikely, but it was worth a try. I had so many things to do. I needed to get back to my life on the outside. I was not used to lounging around and doing nothing. I had something to do, and being in this place was driving me crazy. I knew what they wanted from me, but I could not give it to them. If Dominic knew what Dino planned to do, my entire world would crumble. Dominic would never let it slide and my brother would definitely be killed. And

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

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…

    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

    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
