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.

    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.

    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 POV I realized that I had made a mistake by saying that. I knew that Anita was speaking out of hurt and I didn't want to get her in trouble with her father. “Nobody is disrespecting me. I just want to leave.” I lied. Dominic didn't believe me. “I want you to tell me the truth. Who said something to you?” “I did,” Anita said, standing at the doorway. Dominic turned to look at his daughter who had a proud look on her face. This was what she wanted, for me to leave. “What did you say to her?” He asked Anita softly. “She didn't say anything to me. I just want to leave.” I spoke before she could respond. I picked up my suitcase from the bed, ready to leave this place and forget about everyone there, including Dominic. Even though something told me I would never forget Dominic. “I told her she was just one of your whores and that you will trash her, just like you did to the others. There is nothing special about her.” Anita spat. Her words had the same effect on me as they

    EMILY’S POV I paced in front of Dominic's door to his study. It was the sixth time today that I had come to check on him, but he didn't answer or let anybody in. This only heightened my worries because I worried that something may have happened to him in there. Lorenzo said that he requested to be alone and I wondered why. He had been fine in the morning when I had seen him… what could have gone wrong? “Dominic?” I said, knocking on the door again, but I got the same response—none. “He still isn't coming out?” Sofia asked, walking up to stand next to me. “No. He's not responding. What if something happened to him? What if he's dead? Oh, I'm so worried about him, I have the mind to break down the door.” I told her, I could hear my voice shaking with fear. “Try to calm down. Lorenzo said he wants to be alone so maybe you should just give him the space that he wants. He will come down when he is ready.” She said, But it became dark, and Dominic still wasn't out of his study. I show

    DOMINIC'S POV Hours had passed since my phone call with Barry, and I was thinking about what to do about the situation. I went through the digital files to learn more about the man who was supposed to be my brother. There wasn't much information about him other than the fact that he had worked with my father for a short time, but I never met him. I could not understand how that was even possible. Emily eventually woke up from sleep and she found me in my study. She looked like she had just rolled out of bed and it warmed my heart that she came to look for me first. I shut off my laptop in a way that she didn't get suspicious. I didn't want her to even have a little bit of an idea that something was wrong. “You're up early.” She said as she walked into the office. I got up and walked the short distance over to her and pulled her into my arms. “Yeah. I didn't want to wake you up.” “Is everything okay?” She asked with an uncertain look on her face. I smiled at her, trying to

    DOMINIC'S POV The next morning, I woke up to the sun shining brightly into my eyes. Emily was sound asleep, her body curled into mine. For the first time in a long time, I allowed myself to listen to her breathe softly. But that peaceful feeling didn't last long. The buzzing from my phone forced me to peel my eyes open. The vibration was low, but it was persistent. I reached for the phone, careful not to wake Emily up. It was a message from Barry. “We found something. You really need to see this. Check your encrypted line.” Instead of responding to the message, I carefully left the bed. I didn't want to wake Emily up even by mistake because I knew that she really needed her sleep. I headed to the study and shut the door behind me before switching my laptop on. The screen came alive and I connected to the secure channel. Barry and Ezra's faces popped up instantly. “What is it?” I demanded. “We did scans on the footage from the attack in the estate in Ireland. Facial recognition w

    DOMINIC'S POV The estate in Sydney was almost like a luxurious fortress. It was hidden in the hills and surrounded by thick, beautiful eucalyptus trees and placed at the back of miles of private land. The main house was modern—a smart house, it was beautifully decorated, and we made sure it was heavily secured with state-of-the-art security surveillance, motion sensors, and encrypted alarm systems; I got heavily armed men patrolling the grounds every time. We got them from a security agency with heavily trained men from the military. But still, my mind was not at ease. We had only been in Australia for a week, but I could not shake away the heaviness that was in my chest. Emily and the rest of the girls were trying to adjust. Emily was putting on a brave face for the girls and Sofia, but I could still feel the tension in her body and the worry in her eyes. The attack had left a mark on everybody. “Dominic, we have finished installing the facial recognition system on the Nor

    DOMINIC'S POV I unlocked the room and went over to the bathroom to let the girls out. The moment the door came open, Emily flew into my arms. Anita did the same thing. “I am so glad that you are okay,” Emily said I could hear the relief in her voice. “I am glad you are alright, too,” I told them. They were my major concern and the reason why I didn't bring the roof down on those motherfuckers. The rest of the day, I worked tirelessly to find out who had been responsible for the whole thing. I had a new threat, and this one was very bold. “Dominic, I am so worried,” Emily said as she sat down on my lap. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close to me. I pressed a kiss to her forehead. “I'm worried too, especially since I do not know who this is.” “What's going to happen?” “We have to move. I can't keep you guys here and I have to be in Italy to deal with the Mendez issue. Imagine if I was not home when the attack happened.” “I am so glad you were here. I don't think I

    DOMINIC'S POV The night was very quiet, so it was my instincts screaming at me to wake up. Something didn't feel right, I was sure of it. I listened carefully for any sound that would indicate trouble, but the night was still, very quiet, but that in itself was troubling. Beside me, Emily shifted softly. I tucked a strand of hair behind her ears and pressed a kiss to her forehead before slipping out of bed. I walked over to the window, careful not to make a sound. I pulled the curtain back carefully and peered outside. The yard was glimmering with the moonlight. Lorenzo had men patrolling before everybody went to sleep, but I didn't see any of them, which only heightened my suspicion that something was definitely wrong. I pulled on a shirt and sweatpants and pulled out my gun from the drawer where I hid it. I walked through the dimly lit hallway. The lights were off just as I left them before we went to sleep, but when I got to the kitchen, I froze, the door was slightly ajar. I w

    DOMINIC'S POVI woke up very early the next morning and woke Emily up too. I had a surprise for her. I knew it was a lot to keep her locked away in the house for so long so I decided to take her out to see the city. Nobody knew we were in Ireland so I knew it would be safe. I stared at her for a while before waking her up, mesmerised by the way the sun kissed her beautiful skin. I almost did not want to wake her up, but I had to. Gently, I pushed her hair back and pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Wake up, my love,” I whispered. She stirred before her eyes finally fluttered open and she looked at me with a frown for disturbing her face. “Dominic, what's the time?” She asked with a groan. “Much too early for questions, my darling. Wake up, I have a surprise for you today. You have to get dressed.” I told her. She sat up and looked at me with narrowed eyes. “I hope this surprise does not involve any gunshots.” She warned. I warm laugh erupted from my throat. “Of course, not. I pro

    EMILY’S POV Dominic and I did not leave the room till it was time for dinner. We spent the time wrapped up in each other’s arms, talking, making love. It was as though we were in our own little bubble that we created for ourselves away from the rest of the world. It was as though the problems of the world ceased to exist—if only for a moment. It was beautiful and I wished it would never end. “We better get downstairs for dinner before everyone assumes that we are dead.” I told Dominic, making him to chuckle. He rubbed his nose against mine softly. “Do we have to? I never want to get out of this bed. To keep on worshipping your gorgeous body.” I giggled and pushed him away playfully. “Tempting as that sounds, we have to get down to dinner. I am hungry.” “Okay. If you insist.” He groaned and I could not help but laugh at his expression. We both got ready for dinner and then walked down the stairs and into the dining room hand in hand. When we walked into the room, Daniella, Anita

    EMILY’S POV “I want you on the bed.” His voice was strong with the order. I nodded and crawled into the bed and laid down on my back. “God, you're so perfect. Every inch of you is so beautiful. You're all mine. Nobody else will ever touch your precious body, except me.” He said as he moved closer to me and kissed my lips. “Say it, Emily. Say you're mine.” “I am yours, Dominic. All yours.” I told him in a desperate voice. “Good girl.” He whispered. He stood in front of me and began to strip out of his own clothes. Unlike his usual dark corporate attire, he was dressed in casual black slacks and a white polo tee shirt that hugged every inch of his sexy body. But very soon, he stood naked before me. His bulging shaft stood erect and begging for release. I wanted nothing more than to wrap my fingers around him and bring him to my mouth, but he was in total control of everything that was happening and I needed to follow his lead. “Spread your legs for me and touch yourself.” He orde
