The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 55: Dangerous Feelings
DOMINIC'S POV “So…” Emily said, breaking the silence between us. “About going to Italy… I don't think it is a good idea.” She said, I narrowed my eyes on her. “What do you think is a good idea then? Staying here and waiting for Adam to come and get you?” “You don't understand. I need to clear my name, and if I run away, then I look guilty.” She spat out. I gave a humourless laugh and I walked closer to her. “Have you seen the news lately? You fled arrest from the hotel. You already look guilty in the eyes of the public and you are in danger.” Her eyes filled up with tears, and for the first time, I could see the fear that she had been trying to conceal behind the wall that she'd built up. She's gotten so used to fending for herself that she doesn't know how to let someone else protect her. I moved closer to her and I brought my hands to her cheeks. “It's not safe here, Emily. Adam has very strong connections and he has a lot of people in his pocket. What I want is to keep you sa

EMILY’S POV We turned to look at Daniella who was smiling at us sheepishly. I felt the embarrassment creep up my spine. “Daniella, do you need something?” I asked her strongly. “Oh, I was making lunch. I just wanted to come and see if you wanted some.” Daniella asked. “Yes. I will be there to help you in a minute.” I told her and looked at her dismissively. She nodded and quickly rushed back into the house. “Well, that was interesting. Where did you get the girl from?” Dominic asked. He didn't look quite as flush as I did and I envied that. “At a bar. Some men were harassing her and so I helped her out.” I said simply. “And you trust her?” He asked sceptically. I shrugged in response. “She's harmless.” “You shouldn't be this naive. Never assume everybody is harmless just because they make you think they are not. You should have conducted a proper investigation on her to make sure that she doesn't work with anybody that is against us.” Dominic said. I knew h

EMILY’S POV “Look, we don't have time anymore. We have to leave for Italy. Someone keeps sabotaging my shipments and I know Adam is involved.” Dominic said. I shook my head. “Then you can go without me.” “Why do you always have to be so stubborn? You are not safe here and the only way to clear your name is by taking Adam's down!” Dominic barked out. “And what about Barry? And Anita? They both hate me. I don't want to be where I am not wanted because everyone thinks that I did something that I didn't do.” I said. His features softened. “I'll tell them what happened. Anita will believe me. Barry is not a problem, just ignore him. Look, stop looking for excuses. We have to leave right away and I am not leaving you here. It is not safe.” I knew he was not going to let it go and it seemed logical to go with him anyway. I could not hide out forever and to be honest, I didn't even have a plan. There was also a part of me that didn't want to be away from Dominic and that was what scared

DOMINIC'S POV “I was told you wanted to see me,” Barry said when he walked into my office. I glared at him. “What have you been telling my daughter about Emily?” I asked. Barry's jaw clenched and I could see his hands ball into a fist. “I've not told her anything that isn't true. That woman is dangerous and she is the reason for everything that we have been through. She should not even be here.” “How many times have I told you that I do not want my daughter hearing about anything that has to do with the business. Besides, what happened with Emily was a misunderstanding and I don't want you saying anything bad about Emily to my daughter anymore. She is going to be here for a long time and I don't want Anita acting out because of it.” I ordered. “I don't understand how you can trust that woman so much. Can't you see she is playing you? Your head is out of the game!” He yelled. I got up from my chair. “I think you have forgotten who you are talking to. How dare you raise your fucki

DOMINIC'S POV “I thought we had a deal, Martelli. All my goods are allowed to come in.” I said to the middle-aged man sitting opposite me in his office. Martelli was almost sixty, but he didn't look a day over forty-five. He had worked with customs for a long time and he and I have been good friends for over seven years. “We do. I tried to allow the goods in as usual, but there was a problem with the people on top. The people were alerted about the drop and they intercepted it. I got short notice and I could not do anything about it.” He explained, confirming the fact that I knew Adam had a hand in this. “Fuck!” I cursed. “Look, for now, I think you should lay low. No more drop-offs. My guy at the investigations unit said they have their eyes on you, and I don't know what sort of beef you have going on with the United States FBI, but they have it out for you.” “I know this. Look, just keep me updated on everything that is happening. I can't stop selling. I'll lose money each day

EMILY’S POVI knew it was a bad idea. I should not go to see Dominic, it would not end well for us, but a stronger part of me wanted to go. Would it be so bad to just give myself this one night? I looked at the time. I had just ten minutes to get ready. I got dressed in a simple pair of shorts and a cropped top. I didn't want to look like I was trying too hard. I knew that this was something that I would definitely regret, but I didn't want to have to wonder what would happen if I had gone. I walked the short distance to Dominic's room and I took a deep breath before knocking on the door. The door opened immediately, it was almost as though he had been waiting for me. “I thought you had changed your mind,” Dominic said softly. He was dressed in just a pair of grey sweatpants and he was shirtless. His perfectly sculpted body was in front of me, and I spent too much time looking at it before I finally looked up to find him staring at me intensely. “I uhm… was trying to finish up so

EMILY’S POVI leaned against the door when I got into my room, trying to catch my breath. When Dominic started to undress me, it became real to me that if I let things get too far, there would be no coming back from it. I was a coward; I knew Dominic possessed the ability to break me, and I was not ready for that. After I was able to calm my racing heart, I changed out of my clothes and got into bed. I just wanted to sleep and forget about the whole thing. ***Early the next morning, I remained in my bed. I was scared that if I left my room, I would have to face Dominic and Anita too. I couldn't face him after what happened last night, and I could not face Anita because she obviously hated me. I wished there was a way to make her see that I was not a bad person. It was almost noon when someone knocked on my door. For fear of it being Dominic, I kept quiet so he would think I was asleep and then leave, but whoever it was just kept knocking. I grudgingly got out of my bed and went to

DOMINIC'S POV I stared at Emily intensely. She had her hands crossed on her chest and she had a serious expression on her face. “And what mistake would that be?” I asked her. “You cannot threaten Adam. You will only make him angrier and make him all the more determined to come after you. You have to lay low. Make him think that you won't come after him and then hit him where it hurts the most.” She explained. “And where would that be?” “If you have known Adam for as long as you claim you have then you would know what his weaknesses are. Find it and hit him there. I would love to help, but you have made it clear that you don't want me involved in this.” She said. “You're right. I actually do not want you involved in this and I will figure it out on my own. I've already told you, I can protect you.” “You just don't get it. It is not about protection. Adam ruined my life and destroyed my career. I want my revenge.” For some reason, the dark edge in her voice sent a rush of heat a

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
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 180
DOMINIC'S POV The following day was filled with activities and trying to get ready for the attack at night. The estate was filled with tension with the men checking and loading the weapons into the vehicles. We had mapped out escape routes in case things didn't go as planned. I always made sure I had three plans. We only wanted to attack and leave. Emily kept her word and remained indoors the whole time without interfering which was hard for her because I knew how much she loved the action. There was a certain level of safety I felt having her here, but I still had to be careful. Anita and Daniella were safe, but I had to keep an eye on Emily. By nine in the night, everything was ready. My men were in position and the weapons were loaded. The attack was not supposed to last for anything more than an hour if we did it correctly. “Everything is set. We've scouted out Damien's location, and they look like it's just a normal day for them; they have no idea that an attack is on the way
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 179
DOMINIC'S POV“You shouldn't be here, it's not safe,” I told her. My voice was low and tense. She walked into the room slowly. Barry and Ezra walked out and closed the door quietly behind them. “I know, but I was worried about you. I hate being so far away, I want to be by your side through it all.” She told me sincerely,“I told you I can handle it. I don't want you here, I want you to go back home where you can be safe.” I told her, but I wasn't even sure if I meant it. The logical part of me wanted her back home, but the part that missed her and needed her wanted her here. “I'm not leaving, Dominic. I'm staying till this is over.” She stated strongly. I could see the look of determination on her face. “How did you even get here? That was a risk.” “I asked Victor for help. He made sure everything was in the clear for me to travel.” She explained, moving closer to me. Unable to help myself anymore, I pulled her into my arms. “So Victor was in on it?” I whispered. “Yes.”I was
