EMILY’S POV

I 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 POVI paced up and down in my room, feeling anxious about everything that had been going on. I hated how complicated my life had become. I wish I could just go back to a simpler time. My mind kept going back to Anita. If, after Dominic spoke to her, things still remained the same, I would have no choice but to leave. I didn't want her to keep thinking that I was here to take her father from her. That was even far from the truth because I just wanted to stay away from Dominic. I was really fighting my feelings for him and that was getting harder the longer I stayed here. Daniella walked into my room, a concerned look on her face. “Hey.” She said, “Hey,” I responded and sat down on my bed trying to stop myself from feeling so anxious. “Are you okay?” She asked me.“Yeah.” I lied. “I just want this whole thing to be over and I wish Anita would stop seeing me as the villain. I'm working to save both me and Dominic.” “Then why do you want to leave? You don't need everybody to

    DOMINIC'S POV “Have you sent what I asked you to send?” I asked Barry. “Yes, I have. I am sure he will be more careful about crossing us when he gets that little surprise.” Barry said with a smirk. “I want you to work on the location for the next drop-off. We use the same location because the feds are watching that place too closely, but we can't stop supplying. We have lost a lot of money already. We cannot afford to lose anymore.” I told him and Ezra and a couple of other of my men who were in the meeting room with me. “Yes, boss. I'll try to get another location.” Ezra said. I concluded the meeting and then I dismissed all of them. I had been feeling uneasy the whole day, and I knew that meant that something was about to hit us. My intuition was never wrong. I needed to work to protect myself and my family from whatever was coming our way. ***ADAM'S POV I stared at the box that contained the head of one of my best men. This was Dominic's trademark and I knew it all too wel

    DOMINIC'S POV I woke up to the sounds of gunshots. I immediately pulled my gun out of my drawer and stepped out of the room just as Barry and Ezra were running towards me. “Boss, we are under attack,” Barry said. “I want you to get Anita, Emily and Daniella to the safe house then you come and join me and the men to take these fuckers down.” I knew Adam would eventually come for me. This was exactly what I wanted. I was surprised that it had taken him this long to actually come after me. It had been weeks. I expected him to come with a SWAT team, but this beef between us was personal and he was out to kill. A SWAT team would have restricted him, he was here with his men. ***ADAM'S POV I was able to find about fifty men who hated Dominic Moreno just as much as I did. We had been working on a plan and once we were able to get his location, I knew it was time to attack. I wanted this entire place covered in blood and I wanted to take the things that mattered the most to Dominic—E

    DOMINIC'S POV I stood face to face with Adam. He had a venomous look on his face. We glared at each other. Somehow, Adam had managed to find his way into the house. Gunshots were still coming from outside as the shootout between my men and Adam's men continued. “I've been waiting for this day for a long time,” I said. “I've never known anybody who anticipated their death.” I brought out my gun and pointed it at Adam's head. The only dead body that will be leaving my house today will be yours. Adam also brought out his gun and pointed it at me. “If you kill me, you will go to prison for killing an officer.” “I don't think you thought this one through. I know you aren't with any of your men from the Bureau. When I kill you, the whole world is going to know that you were a fraud.” “But that won't change the fact that you would still be going to jail for being a criminal.” “You and I both know that would never happen,” I responded and while he was distracted, I kicked the gun ou

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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
