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

    CHAPTER 56EMILY’S POVWe 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 he was r

    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

    BARRY'S POV I smiled as I watched Anita walk out of Emily’s room. My plan had worked very well. When I saw Emily walking into the boss’ office, I knew I had to do something about it. I told Anita that her Dad was looking for her. I was confident that she would witness them in a compromising situation. Anita was the only ally I had, and I had to keep fueling her hate towards Emily so she could help me get rid of her. “What are you smiling about?” That Daniella girl that came along with Emily said. I had never really been bothered by her presence here even though she came with Emily. She kept to herself most of the time anyway. I learnt that Emily had picked her up from a bar. I am sure she only did it to make herself look good. I turned to look at the young girl in front of me. She looked to be almost the same age as Anita. She was really pretty, I'd have to admit. But she was too young. I've done many terrible things in my life; paedophilia is not one of them, even if the girl con

    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
