“Boss” Barry's voice ranged from the other end of the phone. “what have you got on Adam” I asked “Not much for now, but I have people working on it,” Barry said. “What have you been doing, Barry? Golfing around and playing the boss in my absence?“ “No boss” “I need that son of a bitch out of the picture already,” I said in range. “Okay boss, but that's not why I called” “Then why did you call?” There was silence on the other end, and I knew he was trying to not sound so offensive. “Speak up, Barry, don't waste my time”, I lashed out in anger. And then it dawned on me that all I had was time; I was in a frickin cell. “It's about Emily," Barry paused.” I don't think we can trust her with the plan to get you out” he spat out. I clenched my fist and tightened my jaw” What do you mean?” I uttered. My voice was barely above a whisper. “Lucas said something before I put a bullet in his head- “ Lucas?” I interrupted.“And what does that have to do with Emil
Emily pov It was around 8pm, I drove up to a deserted area and then stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse. It was the location where Barry had texted me to meet him. It was dark. I reached into my bag, took out a pistol, and hid it in my waistline at the back of my jeans trousers, covering it with my leather jacket. I came out of the car and looked around but I couldn't catch a glimpse of anyone around. I took out my phone and dialled Barry's number, just then I saw flashes of red lights coming from inside the warehouse. Barry answered the phone and in a cold tone, he spoke. ‘Walk towards the light’’ and before I could say anything he hung up. I hesitated for a while before following his instruction; I couldn't quite place mine on why he insisted we meet here in a deserted environment. I knew Barry didn’t trust me and that he wanted me dead, but I was certain that he wouldn’t harm me because Dominic had instructed him to protect me. As I walked in the direction of th
After I left the warehouse, I stopped by a bar a few blocks from my apartment. I needed to drink. I needed to calm my nerves from all the tension I had felt while I was with the mafia gangs. Barry had proven to be nothing else but a bone to my flesh, I couldn't wait to get him out of the picture. If everything went well then I would be killing multiple birds with just a stone. I sat on a sofa in a corner of the crowded bar, I had escaped the eyes of incommers. Just then, a tall, skinny blond girl walked towards me. She held a smile on her face, but her eyes said otherwise. “Hello mam,” She said. “What can I get you?”She added, holding out a pen and a little notebook. “Get me two bottles of beer” I responded. She nodded and turned to leave. Just then as she walked past the table after mine, a man spanked her on her ass and pulled her to himself. She struggled to free herself from his grip. The man grinned and the other men on the table laughed. This site did something to me; I di
Emily pov“What the hell, Adam?”I cursed, getting all worked up. “I could have shot you”, I added, placing my gun on the centre table in my living room. I had been on edge the whole evening since my meeting with the gangs, not to talk of my new foundling who had been hovering around me. And now only to come home and meet Adam. “Calm down, Emi, you seem so worked up”, He said, giving me a weird smirk. I don't know what was so important that would make him come to my apartment this late. But I wasn't ready for any chit-chat. I just wanted to get high, come home and fall asleep, but I guess tonight isn't all for me. “What are you doing here?”….. “How the hell did you even get in my apartment in the first place?” I questioned, feeling all irritated. “Come on, Emi, have you forgotten that this apartment was from the bureau, and I was the one who found and registered this apartment under a false name to be able to protect your cover?” He blurted out egotistically. “So that gave you t
Dominic Pov After my last encounter with Emily, I couldn't help but think of what possibly could be going on with her. She seemed a bit distracted and I sensed a bit of sadness in her. Ever since she left my holding cell, I have been wondering why she asked me this question, “Do you know my father?.” That question took me off guard. “I wonder what could be in her mind” I muttered under my breath. But the fact that she was here to visit me, even if it was just for a short while, meant everything to me. And the thought of her coming to tell me in person that she was working on something with Barry to help me gain my freedom, meant a lot to me. I couldn't wait to leave this hole. Things are not the same with the business in my absence. I couldn't wait to see my mother and my daughter Anita. I have missed her so much. I had earlier promised her that I wouldn't be away from her this long ever again, but it turned out I had broken my promise. I thought about Emily, myself and Anita i
Dominic Pov I wasn't aware of the transfer, no one had said anything to me. The whole day had been so quiet, I hadn't gotten any calls or visits. Even Derrick had been nowhere around the cell. I thought Emily was working with Barry to get me out, and now what? I am about to be transferred to a maximum security prison. I moved away from the door and went down on my knees while placing my hands backwards. The officer came in and placed a cuff on my hands. And then he and another officer helped me back on my feet. “Where's Derrick?” I asked after I had turned to the officers. “Does he know about the transfer?” “Oh! you mean the officer on your payroll, right?”Adam uttered with a chuckle. “What do you take me for? You think I don't see everything going around in this building….. That I let you play the role of a king in this place doesn't mean that you are one. I make the rules of this game.” He added. “Screw you, Adam, don't think for one that you have won…enjoy it while it
Dominic Pov We have been on the highway for eleven minutes since we left the prison. Every second that counts makes anxiety grow. I bit my lip hard in frustration. I hated the fact that I was in the dark. All I had now was expectations. I didn’t know what else to think about in this situation. My heart was beating hard and I could hear the sound of my breath. “Feeling scared already?” one of the officers mocked. “Don't worry you're going to fit in quite fine, after all that prison is meant for scumbags like you,” he added and then chuckled. I stared at him, smirked slightly, and then shrugged. I didn’t want to admit that he was right about me being scared. “Trust me, there's no one coming to rescue you; for all I know, your gang members must have already been on their way to the maximum security prison in handcuffs.” The officer shot again, only this time he let out a loud laugh. Whatever he was trying to do had worked, because his words had already gotten to me. Reality had sta
Emily povThings unfolded quickly on the day of Dominic's transfer. Even though I was given a direct order to stand down and not get involved. I couldn't do it. It was Dominic we were talking about…. ThThe Dominic, how could I just stay put just like that without doing anything? I was the agent assigned from the start to bring the Dominic gang of mafia down. I also played a huge part in taking down Maximus and also in the arrest of Dominic. I wasn't going to back down so easily and just let things happen. I needed to see that the whole thing was done and done the right way. Even now that I have unfinished business with Dominic. I had left home to the interception where the whole operation was to be unfolded. I had arrived a few hours before the set time. I had positioned myself somewhere that I couldn't be seen. While I waited at the scene, thoughts of Dominic flooded my mind. The sparks in his eyes whenever he looked at me, the way he licked his lips and rubbed his jaw…. So se
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
