DOMINIC’S POV

Emily’s words hurt more than any bullet ever could. I looked around her as I tried to process what she had just said to me. She was actually asking me to choose between losing her and losing the only life that I've known all my life.

“You don't mean that?” My voice was filled with emotions, almost pleading, but when I looked into her eyes, I knew that she meant every word that she had said.

“I love you, Dominic. I really do, but I cannot love like this. This…this constant worrying.” Her voice was low and I could hear the hurt in her voice.

I tried to sit up, but I was in so much pain, and my head still hurt.

“Don't try to stand up. I'm sorry I brought this up, this was the wrong time.” She said, looking guilty now.

“There would have never been a right time to bring something like this up,” I said, frustration coursed through me, but I tried my best to control it. “You knew what you were getting into. You knew this was how my world operated. Do you really think I co

  • The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade)    Chapter 154

    EMILY’S POV When I got back to Ireland, it was already almost midnight. Dominic allowed me to stay one more day before I had to leave again. I was still worried about him, but I knew that staying there would not change his mind, I had to give him space. As I walked into our bedroom, I remembered our conversation. Surely, he had to see the sense in what I was saying. I knew he knew that I was right, he was just too stubborn to acknowledge it. I think it was because he was afraid of what life outside of the Mafia would mean for him—I was not heartless; I understood that it would be hard for him. But living like this was too much, I wasn't sure I could handle it. Always being afraid that the next call I would get from Victor or Barry and Ezra was to tell me that he was dead. When Lorenzo told me what Barry had called to tell him, I was shaking all over. I didn't calm down, not even after Lorenzo told me that he was okay and he was in a stable condition. I had to go and see it for mys

  • The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade)    chapter 1 : Mole

    Emily POVStaring out the window of my car, I admired the beauty of the Moreno estate. It is such a shame that a family of this calibre is involved with so many illegal activities."Emily!" I heard my name through the earpiece. "This is Adam, remember the plan, do this once and get out immediately. You are Lena Grant, a high society event planner, don't forget that."Every single instruction he had dished out, I made sure to pay close attention. Being an undercover agent for the Central investigative office for several years comes with a lot of experience. I am not new to the task, but for some reason, I have an odd feeling about this operation. This is the third week that I have been rehearsing for the role after the case was brought before my desk, so the execution was never going to be a problem.Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath and stepped out of the vehicle onto the lawn of Moreno estate. The urge to just stand in awe and admire the beautiful piece of construction was heav

    Emily POV He stared at the table where I dropped the folders and then back at my phone. As he approached me, I felt my heart pounding. "Maybe I never said this from the beginning, but I don't like it when people enter places that they are not supposed to be." He glared at me, while his voice was laced with venom. 'You have to leave now!' I heard Adam yell through my earpiece, but I am not the type of agent to run away from a challenge. I broke the last distance between the both of us, smiling despite seeing the anger in his eyes. "I am sorry if I broke into your private space, I cannot help but admire the decorations in the office," I said, pointing to the direction of the designs on the wall. My lie did not seem to have impressed him, as his expression was unreadable. The tension in the room was palpable and I began to wonder what could be going through his mind. "I think you will find out that the real beauty is in the view." He says, pointing to the city skyline, which

    Three days later… Emily POV "I was scared you were going to blow up your cover, so I had to send forces on your behalf," Adam said, as we walked through the cell rooms. "I have spent several years as an undercover agent and not once have I blown my cover, I don't intend to do it with the Moreno family," I replied. We stopped at the solitary confined cell and Adams turned to look at me, worry written all over his face. "Are you sure you can handle him? Dominic may be calm, but there is no saying what he is going to do to you after you betrayed his trust." I understood Adam's worrying statement, the Moreno family must be out there looking to kill me, which is why I need to get the information from Dominic about his activities before leaving the country. "You don't have to worry about anything Adams, I will be fine," I assured him. He nods his head in understanding and the cell door is opened. "Good luck." He commented, before leaving. I took a deep breath and stepped into the

  • The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade)    Chapter 4: An Intruder

    Emily POVDuring the endless hours of my flight, I was angry at the fact that Dominic had questioned my sexual life in the presence of everyone who had most likely listened to our conversation in the cell room. Never had anyone disrespected me in several years than he had done that very moment.When I arrived at my apartment, I noticed a strange black van parked opposite my apartment. Before my journey to the prison, there had been no cars across the street, which makes this one very suspicious.Regardless, I walked into the living room but stopped when a masculine scent hit my nose and this caused me to be alert, realising someone had broken into my space.When I dropped my bag on the couch, I heard the sound of plates dropping to the floor in my kitchen and a deep voice cursing. I reached into my purse for a pepper spray, ready to take on the intruder.My feet touched the floor quietly, as I moved towards the kitchen. My heart was pounding as I did not know what to expect.

    CHAPTER FIVE Emily POV"How is this possible? You can't be making calls from prison." I replied, still in disbelief."This cannot be possible. How are you receiving a call from the prison?" I asked, still trying to make sense of the whole thing."Because I am Dominic Moreno, I can do anything I want." He boasted. "I will suggest that you seal your lips or you can be rest assured that Erick will take care of you." His voice was threatening. I looked up at Erick and he raised his shirt, revealing a gun underneath his trousers, causing me to get even more scared."Why are you doing this?" I asked."I am not going to hurt you, Emily, I just want to see you again. I am hoping to see you soon?” I tried to speak, but he cut the phone."He wants me to see him," I revealed this to Erick, who shrugged his shoulders."Whatever the boss wants, he gets." He said with a shrug. "No, your boss is a problem to the city, a hard criminal who thinks he can get away with everything and I am going to

  • The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade)    chapter 6: Gangsters

    Emily POV By the time I woke up from my sleep, I looked around realizing I was in an entirely different environment. The room was built on luxury and I could tell from the king-size bed I laid upon and the marble floor. Slowly my head is flooded with memories of all that had happened. My last moment with Dominic and how he had abducted me, after an invasion into his private cell. I got out of bed and walked out of the room, the long hallway which had several rooms side by side, didn't sit well with me because I wanted to speak to someone...anyone to say the least. While walking through the hallway, my ear perked up at the sound of laughter coming from a far corner of the hallway. I instinctively turned towards the path, where the voices were coming from. "You are still the same rusty gangster." Dominic's voice caught my attention by the time I reached the door, where the laughter was coming from. "I am so glad that you took the time off at the cell, it appears it must

    Emily POV"Don't worry, honey, I won't leave you this summer," he assured her. I was a big fan of children and seeing the girl smiling with Dominic made me realize that even monsters can have a soft spot for their children. "Is this my new mom?" she asked in the sweetest way possible. I tried to look away as my cheeks turned red and hard. "No honey, but you'll like her," Dominic replied. The girl held out her hands, wanting me to take them. Dominic handed them to me and my whole heart melted. She was beautiful and her long, curly, thin hair and her eyes made her look like a princess. "What's your name?" she asked. "You can call me Emily, baby, how about you?" I asked. "Anita ." Although she was still toothy, the lack of teeth in the front row made her even more beautiful. "It seems like you like her," Dominic said. I was about to say something when the door opened again, revealing a woman. She had a piece of wood in her hand. "You idi

    DOMINIC'S POV I opened my eyes slowly and immediately regretted it when bright sunlight attacked my vision, causing a sharp pain to shoot through my head. “Fuck.” I cursed under my breath weakly. I looked around at my surroundings. I was in the one place I swore I would never be caught dead in—the hospital. The moment I was allowed to get out of this place, I will find Carlos and make sure he pays for this. I made an attempt to sit up, but the incredible pain from my side stopped me. “Oh, good, you're awake.” A nurse walked into the room, a small smile on her face, but I could tell that she was anxious. I liked the fact that she knew that just because I was in a vulnerable position didn't mean that I was to be fucked with. “How long have I been out?” I asked her. “About two days. After we took the bullet out of you and stopped the bleeding, we put you to rest.” She explained. “How long do I have to be here?” I asked through gritted teeth. “I am not sure.

    DOMINIC'S POVEverything had been going as planned, we had not heard from the Cartel in two weeks, but that was no reason to relax. It was obvious that they were planning their next move, and we had to be careful. We were on our way back from a meeting with one of our informants when the ambush happened. It was unexpected and we were not prepared for it. It was quick, precise and brutal—you would expect nothing less from Carlos Mendez. The first explosion caused our convoy to go into chaos, one of the SUVs in front of mine flipped over in a fiery wreck. Loud shots began to ring out immediately. “Get down!” Victor ordered loudly as he pulled out his gun and began to fire out the window. I was about to pull out my gun and begin shooting when the second blast rocked the ground under us. Our SUV was thrown to the side. The air was filled with smoke. The heavy stench of burning rubber and blood filled my nose. Pain shot through my body as I hit the glass. My vision began to blur but I f

    EMILY’S POV It had been two weeks since Dominic had been away and we had only spoken on the phone three times. It was hard not to miss him, but I knew that I had to be patient. It wasn't so hard anymore. I spent a lot of time talking to Sophia and distracting myself with activities with Anita and Daniella. Anita was back to herself after a couple of days of not talking to anybody and staying in her room the whole day. I was worried that she would be like that until Dominic returned, but I was glad she found herself again. However, on some days,, I would catch her zoning out, and I knew she was getting worried about her father again. I wasn't the only one who noticed because Sofia asked me about it one time. “I don't think she is as fine as she pretends to be,” Sofia said as we watched Anita and Daniella talking together. “I don't think she is too, but she's trying her best,” I told her. “How old is she?” Sofia asked. “She's thirteen.” “This whole thing is a huge burden for a yo

    DOMINIC'S POV Hearing Emily’s voice made me feel better and had a calming effect, but it also made me worried. I felt like I was putting her in a position that she deserved better than to be in. “I trust you.” She said softly and it made my chest tighten. I could not afford to let her down. Her faith in me was a comfort and a burden at the same time. “I'll call you when I get the chance. Try not to worry so much.” “I'll try. Be careful, okay?” “I will. I love you.” “I love you.” She said softly. There was a brief moment of silence between us, almost as though we were enjoying each other’s presence through the phone. Then she ended the call. There was a time in my life when I did not think that it was possible for me to love any woman this much. After Anita's mother, the pain of loss had been too much and I never wanted to experience it again. Women had become nothing more than a way to please me, but even that had lost its flavour before Emily came into my life.The first time

    DOMINIC'S POV The plan had been successful and the goods were intercepted and moved to one of our warehouses in the United States. It took a lot of work and a whole lot of planning, but we were able to get it done. I was just getting down from the SUV when my phone rang with a call from an unknown number.I picked it up immediately, I knew who it was already. “You're playing with fire, Moreno.” Carlos Mendez said with a very heavy Hispanic accent. “No, I'm playing the game that you started,” I told him through gritted teeth. “I am coming for you, and I am going to hit you right where it hurts. We've only just begun.” He threatened before he ended the call. “Who was that?” Victor said as he came and stood beside me. “Carlos Mendez. He called to make threats.” I told him. I turned to look at him and he was smiling. “What's so funny?” “Do you know what that call means?” He asked me and I shook my head in confusion because his tone implied that the call was a good thing. “What d

    EMILY’S POV “I am so sorry that happened to you, sweetheart,” I told Daniella because that was the only thing I could think of to say. The tears were flowing down her face freely now and it broke my heart to watch. I knew exactly what she was going through because I remember the pain and how much it hurt when my father died. “I don't even know why I'm getting so emotional, maybe it is because I am sad for Anita. She's scared her father won't come back.” Daniella explained. Her words made my heart drop. It suddenly occurred to me that this could easily be the last time that we would see Dominic if something went wrong. I tried not to show my sadness to Daniella because I knew that she was going through so much pain, she and Anita needed to see me strong. I pulled her into my arms and wrapped her in a hug to comfort her till she calmed down. Then we pulled away from each other. “I think you should go and join Anita and have some rest. Maybe the three of us can all do something fun l

    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
