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.

    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?

    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 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

"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.

    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.

    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 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

    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

    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
