The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) chapter 22: Furious
Emily's Pov My heart was pounding really fast as Dominic and I moved through the hallway. How did they get hold of Maria? These and many more questions bothered me, as we made a turn into his office, where Dominic would eventually sit down. Barry burst into the room barely seconds later with two men who were handcuffed. They were made to kneel down before Dominic, while I watched on. "I asked both of you to take good care of my daughter and Maria and what did you do? You left both of them to play video games." His voice was cold and calculative. "We are sorry boss, it's just that staying indoors all day long and having to watch over them bored us all out. Maria and Anita were becoming close friends and we did not think the intelligence would come for them." I heard the chair moved backwards and Dominic walked forward to meet them with his hands right in the pocket. My curiosity rose over the roof, wondering how it was even possible that the security intelligence had gotten ther

Adam's POV"She is in the cell holdings, sir." One of the officers announced. I rose to my feet and adjusted my blazer suit before heading out of the office. I could hear screams coming from one of the holding cells, but I could care less for criminals who have refused to bend to my authority.The door was opened and my eyes landed on the dark brown hair seated on the chair in handcuffs with tears running down her eyes. "I am guessing this is the first time we are meeting Miss Maria or should I say Mrs Maria." I cracked a smile on my face, seeing how worried she looked."What do you want from me? I haven't done anything wrong." She said,"Of Course, you haven't done anything wrong, my dear friend. The only problem is that we need you to bait a very important person and once they come to us, we will let you leave." "Dominic Moreno? I am sure that is who you want, but let me tell you something. He is going to come and I know you will regret ever asking for his presence." Her choice o

Emily's pov While soul music was playing in the background, my eyes were engrossed in the pages of a murder mystery book that I had taken from one of Dominic's collections in the library. The door suddenly opens and Dominic steps inside. His long dark trench coat and a hat to accompany it shows that he has been out doing some business. "I see you have your hands full," I said, lowering my gaze to the gun he dropped on the table. "There is someone I would most definitely like you to meet." He said, changing the music to a heavy metal genre. "And you want me to come and see this person?" I asked. "Not to come and see this person alone, I want you to have a word with him." The smile on his face made me believe there was something mischievous he was hiding away from me. He stretched out his hand and I rose from the bed, dropping the book and walking up to meet with him. As we walked through the hallway, my mind was filled with thoughts about the identity of this perso

Emily's Pov"Your time is up, Dominic; even if you kill me, it won't change the fact that you either surrender to them or you won't be getting out of here," Adam said, laughing like a maniac."I should have killed you when I had the chance!" Dominic responded, his hand gripping the gun even further. He turned his attention to me. "I cannot stay here, we will have to leave this place at once." "And where can you run to? Let me quickly put you on notice; these men already scanned the entire perimeter of your hideout; there are no tricks up your sleeves that they won't be able to see." He turned to me. "Are you going to tell him the truth or should I?" "What truth?" Dominic asked, turning in my direction. "What is he talking about?" My eyes dropped down, thinking of a way out of this situation but there was none. "The day the security intelligence invaded the mansion and took Maria away, I...." My heart was heavy, and tears dropped down my cheeks."Well, she was the one that contacte

Emily POV"You have done a great job, Emily; you should be proud of yourself for bringing that criminal to book." Mr. Foster, head of the CIA mentioned. My thoughts were on the betrayals and what Dominic could think of me. "Emily Knowles?" I looked up and realized he was attempting to send me a wrapped present. I absentmindedly took the gift away from him and he tapped my shoulders before leaving the office. Adam had woken up from his unconscious state and was wrapped in bandages. I heard his shoes click on the floor as he stepped forward to me. "And since when did you start developing feelings for a criminal?" He asked."He was nobler than you will ever be, Adam," I responded, giving him a stern look. "Oh please, cut the bullshit Emily! We both know that Dominic deserves what is coming to him. He is a Mafia lord, and the East Coast is no place for people like him.""What of people like you? Do you think I have forgotten what you did? how did you hire Maximus to kill him?" I aske

Emily POV"I am here to see Dominic Moreno." I raised my badge to one of the officers on duty, but he stood his ground, not willing to leave. "Listen, I understand that you have been instructed by Adam not to allow me to see him, but I have something for you." I reached out to my purse and pulled out a couple of notes. "A hundred grand, get him out of the cell because of the cameras and bring him to the investigation room." I waved the bundle before the officer, who grabbed it."I need the money anyways.." he said with a smile before turning towards the main cell.I made my way out of the cell holding facilities with anxiety, not knowing how Dominic was most likely to react.By the time I got to the investigative room, I began to pace around, thinking of how to approach him and what exactly to say.Some minutes later, there was a knock on the door and the officer pushed Dominic inside. He was in handcuffs."Remove the handcuffs," I ordered."That will be your death signed and sealed

Dominic's POV After Emily left my room, I caught myself smiling. Smiling! “Che diavolo!” I muttered under my breath in Italian. “Get it together, man!”I ran a hand through my hair, pacing back and forth. She was driving me insane, and I didn’t know how to stop it. Everything she said was true. Every word. I couldn’t even pretend to deny it anymore. I tried to tell myself I was in control. But I wasn’t.The reality remains that I should have just left her that day in prison, my present moment would not exist, and maybe I would have secured more shipments to the East Coast. After I abducted her, I could barely eat, barely make conversation. My mother, Barry, and even Anita because of her and I hate to admit that I had noticed something was wrong with me.Every time I saw Emily, the control I prided myself on slipped. My carefully built walls cracked whenever she was near, and it was frustrating.I didn’t want to feel this way about her, but it was like she had found a way into my
Last Updated : 2024-12-23The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 29: Distraction
Dominic's POV “She’s becoming a problem, Boss,” he finally said. “A problem?” I echoed. "Yes. A distraction. For you. For everyone. She’s causing more trouble than she’s worth.” “She’s not a distraction,” I said evenly, though my voice had a dangerous edge to it.“She is, Dominic, and you know it. Ever since she came into your life, you haven’t been yourself. You’re not focused, not thinking clearly, and now you also end up in jail because of her."“Watch your words, Barry,” I warned.“I’m just telling you the truth,” he shot back, his voice steady. “You’ve gone soft because of her. The others are starting to notice. She’s a weakness. And in our world, weaknesses should be cut off.” “What are you trying to say, Barry?" I asked on the phone. “I’m saying you need to deal with her. Give her a harsher punishment. Or eliminate her. That is what we do to rats and she is one."The word hung in the air like poison.“Eliminate?” I repeated, my voice low and dangerous.Barry didn’t back d

The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 95:
EMILY’S POVI stormed out of Dominic’s office, feeling like I could not breathe from the anger that was burning in my chest. I had always known that Dominic was a dangerous and cruel man, but coming face to face with his cold heart had affected me more than I wanted to admit. How could he want to kidnap an innocent woman for the sake of revenge? I knew that the Mafia was interconnected and you could not escape it no matter how much you weren’t involved, but using an innocent woman as leverage was not something that I wanted to play a part in. I needed some space and some air. As I stumbled outside, I felt a hand grab my wrist from behind and I turned around to come face to face with Barry. He and I had not had any close encounters since I arrived from America to the estate in Italy. He still hated me, and I wanted to avoid trouble so I stayed away from him. “What do you want, Barry?” I demanded. He let go of my wrist and I moved away from him, putting as much distance between us as
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 94: Monster
DOMINIC’S POV“You are not really suggesting that you try to harm his sister in any way to get to him?” Emily asked, looking horrified. “That is exactly what I am saying,” I told her without hesitation. “But she does not have anything to do with this,” Emily complained. This was one of the reasons why I did not want her involved in the business. I told her things were different from her work at the agency and if she could not handle this, there was no way I could let her keep working with us. I noticed Barry and Ezra sharing a look, but neither of them said anything. I knew they were not so keen on the idea of having her work with us and they were resisting the urge to complain in front of me, but they had no choice. Emily will work with us until I decide otherwise. “In our world, that doesn’t matter. We do not fight fair, we simply fight to win. When Luca kidnapped the girls, did he care that they were not involved in any of this? It is the same thing. If we do not go after him
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 93: Weakness
EMILY’S POVOur breaths were heavy as our lips tangled in a heated and sensual kiss. I sat on his desk with my legs wrapped around his waist. We were so close that I could feel his erection pressed against my core through our clothes. His hands roamed my body as though he was trying to commit each curve and pattern to his memory. Things were not supposed to happen this way. I had come to his office to discuss work-related issues. I knew that we needed a plan and it was important that we started to strategize right away, but during our conversation, Dominic had captured my lips in a kiss. I tried to resist him, but I was learning that was not possible with Dominic Moreno. He didn’t ask, he demanded and he took. Call me crazy, but I liked it only in situations like this. I allowed him to own and dominate me. “Turn around and place your hands on the desk. I want that pretty ass facing me.” He ordered. I hopped off his desk and went in the position that he wanted me to be in. I was wear
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 92: Deal
DOMINIC’S POVThe place was quiet with my outburst and Emily just kept glaring at me. I was sick and tired of having the same conversation, but I was not going to give her what she wanted, I needed to come up with something that could keep her occupied so she would not feel so helpless. I let out a shaky breath. The day had been too long and I was already very exhausted. I just wanted to sleep, but I could not sleep knowing that Emily was angry with me. “How about I let you handle anything that had to do with surveillance?” I ask her. She narrows her eyes at me and shakes her head. “Am I supposed to be looking at the camera twenty-four hours a day?” “No. I mean when we are trying to find something on a footage. You were able to find something that neither Barry, Ezra nor I could find.” “No. I want to be in on the strategic planning, I do not really have to go out with you to fight, but I can help you to put things together. I am very good at it.” Knowing that this was not an argu
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 91: Wounded
EMILY’S POVI had just slipped into bed, prepared to go to sleep when Dominic walked into the room. I had not seen him in over three hours since we had spoken in the living room and I was relieved. I was tired of fighting with him and his domineering attitude made me feel like I was suffocating. I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep so I would not have to communicate with him. I knew I had feelings for him, but he also made me angry with his controlling behaviour and I felt like the easiest way to avoid that was by avoiding him. I hated feeling like I was being restricted. I did not like feeling like I was not useful and that was exactly how he made me feel. I understood that he was only trying to protect me, but it was costing me my sanity. Thinking about it made me so mad and my eyes began to sting with angry tears. I was grateful that the room was dark and Dominic did not put it on, although I could hear him moving around. Probably stripping out of his clothes and going to
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 90: Black Blood
DOMINIC’S POVJust as I walked into my new estate on the island, my phone began to ring with a call from an unknown number. I answered it immediately and a voice that I did not recognize came through the phone. “This is not over, Dominic Moreno. You killed my father, and for that, I will kill you.” The voice said and hung up before I could make sense of what was happening. I knew that it had something to do with the Black Bloods. “Barry! I need you to look into the Black Bloods. I need every information on their new leader.” I ordered. He nodded and then left immediately. When I looked up from my phone, I saw Emily staring at me. I knew she had heard my conversation and she wanted to know what I was going to do, but she was not going to ask.The whole flight, she did not say a single word to me, not even when I had spoken to her directly. When I tried to touch her, she pulled away from me and that had angered me, but I kept it to myself. I knew she was still trying to come to terms
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 89: Yield
EMILY’S POVWhen Dominic left the room, I collapsed onto the bed. My body was still shaking from the aftermath of what had just happened. Not just from the intense climax, but from the anger I was feeling. I could not believe that Dominic had used my craving for him to make me do his bidding. What upset me more was the fact that I was not as angry about it as I should be. In fact, I really liked how he took and owned my body. Somehow, Dominic had sucked me into his dark and twisted world. What he did was not okay so why did I enjoy it so much? I hated how much power that he held over me. I hated the fact that he was right. I had experienced him so much that the thought of being without him caused me pain. The thought of leaving him and going back to my old life in America—if there was even a life to go back to felt hollow. But even though the way that he had used my desires to manipulate me was something that I was not going to let go of. That man was insufferable. I got up and put
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 88: Pleasure
DOMINIC’S POVAfter I left Anita’s room, I went into Emily’s room to make sure that she was packing. If Emily didn’t come with me, I would lose my mind. She had already become a part of me and I could not lose her. I would do everything to keep her by my side, even if that meant kidnapping her. When I walked into her room, she was packing her bags. “I am glad that you have come to your senses,” I told her. She stopped packing and turned to look at me. “I am not coming with you. I am going back to America.” My blood began to boil. “Why do you always have to be so fucking stubborn? You will do no such thing.” I barked out. “You cannot tell me what to do.” She said and went back to packing. I walked slowly to her and stood behind her. Then I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close to me. Her back was against my chest and her ass was pressed up against my hard cock. “I am not giving you a choice,” I whispered in her ears. I wrapped my hand gently around her neck. I could se
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 87: Source
EMILY’S POVJust as the girls left, Dominic walked into the living room covered in blood. I didn’t even realise I had been so worried about him, despite being angry with him. I let out a sigh of relief as I rushed over to him and he pulled me in for an embrace. When things like this happen, the possibility of someone dying is very high, especially for Dominic who is always in front of the battle. “I am so glad you are okay and that this whole nightmare is over,” I told him when we finally pulled away from each other. I could see the dark look in his eyes, the one he got whenever he wanted to kill someone or after killing someone. “It isn’t over—that part is, but I just got a message from my sources; the FBI has traced Adam’s last whereabouts to the estate. We need to leave immediately.” He said. My heart sank as my mind tried to process the information. If I ran away with Dominic, that would be the nail in my coffin. I would never be able to work for the federal agency again. Domi
