Chapter 3: Blown Cover

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 cell.

My nose was filled with masculine sweat and across the corner of the room was a shirtless Dominic working out his biceps. He raised his eyes and looked up in my direction for a few seconds, before resuming his workout.

I walked towards the table, dropped my bag and sat down while watching him go intense on his workout. After some minutes, Dominic rose and grabbed a nearby towel to wipe his face. My eyes looked down at his chiselled abs and I got a flashback of our intimate moment in his office.

There is no doubt about his handsome features. Aside from his muscular body, his jawline gave him the look of a model.

"Why are you here? Haven't you done enough?" He asked, returning the towel to where he had kept them.

"I am here to question you Dominic, so I will advise that you take a seat." I ignored the hatred in his voice while pointing at the seat opposite mine.

"You do know that if my family finds you, they won't spare you right?" He asked, a profound smile making its way to his lips. "You know it is such a shame that after I defended you, this is how you pay me back."

"Have a sit Dominic, or I send the police officers to beat you up," I warned him.

Seeing the look of seriousness on my face, Dominic walked to the chair and sat down, his eyes did not move away from mine.

"I hope you know there is no one here, Emily, I can easily kill you in a matter of seconds." My heart begins to race with anxiety.

"I dare you to touch her and you will be dead." We both heard Adam's voice come through a speaker that was hanging across the wall in the room.

"Oh please, can't you take a joke for once in your miserable lifetime?" Dominic asked, leaning back on his seat with a smirk on his face.

"Let's get started then," I informed him and reached out to my purse to bring out a paper and pen.

"Tell me something Emily, how old are you?" I paused and looked at him with a surprise on my face.

"How do you know my name?" I asked.

"Emily Holmes, an undercover agent, who has taken down several Mafia lords and terrorists in the past seven years, I do know a lot about you." His explanation caused panic in my heart.

No one has been able to unravel my identity over the past few years, which makes me believe that Dominic might be the smartest criminal I have faced.

"Since you already know my name, let's get straight to business then. What do you know about the Lucchesi documents and how is your family involved in this deal?" I asked.

"If you think you are going to get a word from me, then you must be deceiving yourself, Emily. I won't give you the answer that you need if you don't tell me your age." He insisted.

"Fine, I am twenty-six years old." I started looking elsewhere other than his eyes.

"That is a good one, Emily." He replied, tapping his hand on the desk.

"Can we get back to business now?" I asked.

"Have you ever had sex before?" He asked, taking me off guard.

I tried to speak but there was no word forthcoming, his eyes showed he was amused by my reaction to his question.

"That explains why you were not a good kisser in my office."

I slammed my hand on the table, slowly getting irritated by his triggering statements, but closed my eyes and calmed my nerves down. I needed to be reminded once more that Dominic isn't like every other Mafia lord out there.

"What is the matter, Emily? Did I hit a nerve there?" He questioned with a clear mockery underneath his tone.

"You think this is some sort of game huh?" I asked him and leaned forward. "Let me tell you what these people are willing to do to you, they will kill you, confiscate your assets and get the rest of your members arrested. Now if you don't cooperate with me and give me the necessary information, that is the fate that awaits you." I expressed.

The silence in the room after my words, is filled with tension and I noticed he had stopped tapping his finger on the table. He also leaned forward, the same cocky smirk on his face.

"If you think I am going to give you any information, while these bastards watch from the stands, then you are wrong darling. I would rather die than tell you anything." He looked serious about his comment.

I took another long deep breath, slowly realising this wasn't working out as I had planned for it. I returned the paper to my purse and zipped it.

Getting up to my feet, I turned to leave the room but his voice stopped me halfway across the room.

"Since you haven't had sex before, I wouldn't mind being the first man to deflower you, sweetheart." He stated.

My hands were folded to a fist, but I did not want to be blinded by my anger. I stepped out of the room and closed the cells behind me. Adams rushed towards my direction, looking at me with concern.

"I want you to make sure that he gets the beating of a lifetime, I will be back in three days," I instructed him
