The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 41: Traitor
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

Barry Pov “Sly bitch” I muttered to myself after Emily had hung up on me. I knew something was off after we met with Emily, the plan she had mapped out just seemed surreal to me. She had told us that the transfer was to happen on a low key and that only a few agents knew about it. She was supposed to be on the inside and feed us with more information if there was any. I still couldn't shake up the fact that Lucas had said something about Emily and her plan with the agents to bring us down. I knew Emily wasn't to be trusted because I could always see the slyness and deceitfulness in her from the start; aside from that, I hated her because she was a cop. Dominic wasn't going to listen to my plan if I had told him I had one. I was beginning to lose face with the boss, he didn't trust anything I said anymore just because of how blinded he was by Emily. So I had to keep him in the dark and came up with my plan which I was able to execute with the help of an old pal of mine, Enzo’.

Emily Pov After Adam called me a traitor and hung up on me. I scanned around the scene, making sure I wasn't being watched, and then I snuck away, fleeing the area before I could be noticed. I rushed to where I parked my car and drove off. I ran my hand through my hair. I knew I was fucked. Now, what, Emily… Fuck… Now what?” I screamed at myself, hitting my hands on the steering wheel. “I am so screwed” I muttered under my breath. Adam blamed the failed operation on me and called me a traitor to national security. I knew what Adam was like, he wasn't going to just sweep this under the rug. He always looked for a scapegoat to blame for all his failures. Only this time I was going to be his scapegoat. Not to talk of Barry breathing down my neck. I knew for sure that Barry would be coming for me, and this time, I was sure that Dominic would be gamed. I needed to find a way out of this mess that I had brought upon myself. I needed to act fast on what to do before the whole th

Emily Pov Before I came out of the restroom I had taken off my leather jacket and placed my head up in a ponytail. I approached the security at the exit unfazed. I flashed my badge and registered it on the monitor, and the barrier opened, and I walked out. I headed to my car and drove off. I needed to be as far from the office before Lucia would regain her consciousness and alert the security of my act. As I drove I was lost in my thoughts. Now, all hell had been set loose, and I was alone in my world. I had no friends or allies. I had become an enemy of the Mafia and also a fugitive of the law. I drove for a while with no direction, still thinking of a possible solution to help myself. Then I remembered that I had someone now under my care that needed protection. “Daniella,” I muttered to myself, turning the car in the direction of my apartment. I had to act quickly to take her out of the spotlight because I knew for sure that Barry would be coming for me. And Adam already kne

Emily Pov After we had left my appointment, we drove to a motel. I paid for a room with cash. I had stopped by the Atm, which was in the opposite direction from the motel, to withdraw some money. I didn't want our location to be tracked. It was already dark and I was feeding exhausted from all that had happened. Daniella didn't say a word all through the trip which I found unusual. She had gone to take a shower while I just sat on the bed deep in my thoughts. I combed through my mind on how to come out of the problems I was facing. I had made myself an enemy of a deadly mafia group. I could no longer depend on the security intelligence to watch my back. I had now become a fugitive. ‘How did things play out this way? My father's killer ‘Dominic’ is out there on the street….. Back to running his illegal deals. I couldn't help but reflect on how rash I was in making my decision about betraying Dominic. I could have thought harder about it before agreeing to Adam's plan. I was fu

Dominic Pov “You have betrayed me yet again, Emily”, I said, breaking the silence from my end. She was quiet immediately after I spoke, and I knew she was in shock that I had called her. I had to use an unknown number with a burner phone because I didn't want to risk my location being found. I couldn't trust Emily anymore so I had to take precautions. We had arrived at a safe house which Barry had prepared before embarking on my rescue. We couldn't leave the city yet because it was flooded with the CIA, DEA and other security intelligence. Me and my gang had been declared wanted and dangerous all over the news, and a bounty had been placed on my head. “I know you can hear me, Emi, say something” I pressured. “At least give me some sort of explanation why you looked me in the eyes and fucked me up the second time” I lashed out infuriatedly. “I don't owe you any explanation, Dominic, or have you forgotten that I am a cop, and my job is to make sure that criminals like you are bro

Emily Pov I was fuming after I hung up the call on Dominic. I wasn't sure if I had done the right thing by letting out how I felt. But at that moment I was convinced that I had to let him know that I wasn't scared of him and that I was no longer under his spell. I paced up and down the room furiously. I felt betrayed by everyone and I needed to come up with a plot on how to bring Adam and Dominic to their knees. I was done being used by them. I wasn't going to be a puppet in their silly little games anymore. But at the moment, nothing was coming to my mind on how to put my plan in motion. I felt trapped in my own mind. It felt like my mind was going to explode. My heart was rising rapidly. Frustratedly I screamed, throwing things across the room. Daniella rushed out of the bathroom in awe to see the scene unfolding in front of her. I didn't pay any attention to her as she tried moving closer to me, “Calm down Emily, what's the matter? She said as she moved towards me. But I st

Emily Pov I heard voices and footsteps approaching from outside the motel room. I looked at Daniella and gave her a signal to keep quiet. Soon, a knock came from the door,, and I moved quietly to the doo,r, holding out my gun. Then peeped through the doorhole lens. I saw two men standing outside the room. One of them was the receptionist who lodged us in. And I wondered who the other man was. “Who's there? I asked. “We are from the reception. Please open up; we received complaints from other guests,” one of the men said. “Is everything okay in there?” he asked. The whole place was still rumpled thanks to me and my mental breakdown. I didn’t want them to see the damage I had done to the room. “Ehn… Yeah, everything is fine here, there's nothing to worry about. Sorry about the noise… I was playing some games with my sister.”I tried convincing them. “Yeah, but we still need to see for ourselves, mam. So would you please open the door?” the other man insisted. “Shit” I muttered un

DOMINIC'S POV The silence in the room was very heavy. The only sound in the room was of Emily clicking away on the laptop. She was so engrossed in the work, in trying to find anything that would help us take Crowley and Damien back. She spent the whole day on the encrypted server. “I can't really find anything more on him,” Emily said frustration filling her voice. I put my hand over hers and soothed my thumb over it. “Don't be too hard on yourself. Just take a break, and we can continue later. It's already getting dark. I think we should take a shower and sleep.” I told her. With a resolved sigh, she nodded her head, and I helped her up with my good arm. The pain from my injury was still very bad, but Emily disinfected it every night and dressed it. It was beginning to heal, but not as fast, and I could like it. Damien could strike at any time, and I needed to be ready. I could not do that with an injured shoulder. I hoped they would hold up any future attacks until I was
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 188
EMILY’S POV Dominic sat on the bed, still looking at the file. His jaw was clenched and I could see the calculating fury in his eyes. The way he went quiet when he was angry would be terrifyingly for somebody else, but not for me. It looked like a storm was brewing on the surface, and it was about to erupt and cause destruction. “This changes everything.” He told me, not looking away from the screen. He began to rub his temples with his good hand and I could tell that he was getting stressed. I moved to stand behind him, and I began to rub his back softly, which seemed to reduce the tension in his body. “We were focusing so much on Damien.” He said. “Trying to take him down, but all this while we were chasing the shadows. Damien is my brother; that much is true, and I think Crowley found that out and used what my father did to get in his head.” I nodded, releasing a slow breath and coming to sit beside him. “And if what the files say is true—and I believe it is, then we hav
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 187
EMILY’S POV I woke up feeling very groggy and sour from the night before. I reached out instinctively, my hand brushing against the side of his bed that was still warm. He wasn't in bed with me. I sat up straight, wincing at the dull ache between my legs. My mind went back to last night. It had been very intense and wonderful. Dominic moved in and out of me with animalistic strengths. He had an injured shoulder, but even that had not been able to stop him. Then he pulled me into his arms afterwards and whispered sweet words into my ears till I fell asleep. I ran my fingers through my hair, which was in a tangled mess. I wrapped the sheets tight around my body and walked to the window. It was a beautiful morning. The sun was shining, the sky was clear, the birds chirping in the trees. I couldn't help but feel a moment of happiness. But that feeling didn't last long when I remembered that danger was lurking in the shadows. Steven Crowley. A chill ran down my spine at the thoug
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 186
DOMINIC'S POV His Jaws were clenched as I spoke. I could see the obvious irritation on his face, but he was trying his best to conceal it. “Yes, sir.” “You've been my right-hand man for over ten years, and I am impressed with your work, and I've never had any reason to question your loyalty to me,” I told him. His features softened, and he looked happy with my approval, I could tell by the way his body relaxed. “Thank you, sir. It is a pleasure to work with you.” “I will be stepping away from my position for some time once this is over. I'm not getting any younger, and I need to work on building my family and producing an heir.” He turned to look at me like I'd slapped him across the face. “But things don't work that way, Dominic. Who will be in charge once you leave?” “You,” I said simply, and he looked like he was taken aback by this. “What?” He asked, his voice shaking. I've known Barry for a long time and it often took a lot to surprise him. He'd been through har
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 185
DOMINIC'S POVThe next morning, I peeled my eyes open slowly, and it was shining into the room. Emily was still asleep beside me, looking gorgeous and peaceful with the sheets wrapped around her naked form. I got out of bed, careful not to wake her up. I picked up my phone and sent a text blast to Victor, Barry, and Ezra. “Meet me in the basement, now.” I pulled on a tee shirt and a pair of black sweatpants, which took longer than usual because of my shoulders, which still hurt excessively. Emily was right, and I needed to get the wound treated by a professional. I'll have Victor call his doctor to take a look at the injury. I could not afford any distractions during this period when the threat from Damien seemed to be growing. When I got to the basement, all three of them were already there. Barry and Victor looked up and alert as usual, but Victor looked exhausted even though he'd spent the whole of the previous day resting. “Dominic, what was so urgent that you had to take me
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 184
DOMINIC'S POVEmily’s words kept playing over and over again in my head long after she said them. Dominic Moreno doesn't lose. I wish I had eleven of them with the same strong conviction as she did. I stared at the screen, at the man with calculating eyes staring back at me. Steven Crowley. The name did not ring a bell, although I had many enemies that I didn't even know about. So many people hated me. But the pattern of his involvement with Damien was what caught my interest. Originally, I thought that Damien had just been assembling thugs, but that wasn't the case anymore. He was building a strong army, and even I could not deny that he had very good alliances. It was obvious that that Crowley man was the brain behind what happened yesterday. Emily’s hands were still on my shoulders, kneading them softly to take the tension away. Her gentle fingers were very comforting. I looked up at her. Her hair was in a messy bun on top of her head, and her eyes were tired from sleep, but they
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 183
EMILY’S POVThe next morning, I could barely stand to look at myself in the mirror. My eyes were swollen from lack of sleep. My eye bags were probably the worst ones a person could have. My heart was also still very heavy with everything that had happened. Dominic was still asleep as I slipped out of bed. I had to be very careful so I would not wake him up. He definitely needed the rest. He looked more relaxed as a result of the painkillers he had taken, which had dulled the pain from his industry. I pressed a soft kiss to his forehead, and then I made my way to Victor's study. The house was very quiet. Ezra and Barry had gone out to train the men, and Victor was still resting. That gave me the type of peace I needed to work. It had been a long time since I'd put my braid to good use, and I was excited. I sat in on Dominic's heavily secured computer. Just as he'd given access to his encrypted network right before he went to bed yesterday. Although I knew he did so with reluctance, i
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 182
DOMINIC'S POVThe pain in my shoulder kept me awake long after everybody had slept. Emily had insisted on staying by my side, but I knew that she was tired, and I made her lie down. The only time Emily genuinely looked to be at peace was when she was asleep. Whenever she was awake, I could see the worry in her eyes. I knew that she was having a hard time, and I felt bad because I put her in this situation, but I was going to make it right. Victor had gone to sleep immediately. His injury was not as deep as mine, but he was in pain nonetheless. Victor never complained, no matter how bad things got. I stared at the ceiling as I went over everything that happened in my mind. We had gone in just as planned. We had been fast and efficient, and we launched our attacks with precision. Everything was going well until ten minutes later when Damien's men began to attack. They were prepared—too prepared. That wasn't as a result of luck. They had been very strategic. And Damien was after me.
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 181
EMILY’S POV The car doors opened, and the men came out of the car one by one. Fear gripped my chest frantically as my eyes landed on Dominic, who was leaning against Barry with blood soaking through his white shirt. I immediately left the room and rushed downstairs to meet them. When I finally got to where they were, I noticed that Dominic's teeth were clenched in pain. “Dominic…” I breathed, walking towards him and looking him over. “I'm fine.” He muttered stubbornly through gritted teeth. “Your shirt is soaked in blood. You are not fine,” I said, placing his hand over my shoulders. “Let's go inside so I can take a look at it.” Victor appeared out of the car, clutching his side in pain and limping. He wasn't wearing a shirt, and I noticed that a nasty bruise was already beginning to form at his side, just above his ribs. Even though he was in obvious pain, he managed to give me a weak smile. “Don't worry, Em. We made it alive, just some minor injuries.” He said with a shrug, a
