The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 65: Make Up
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

EMILY’S POV I wanted to believe Dominic, but I could not. Adam may be dead, but I knew that the storm was far from over. In fact, I feared that it had only just begun. I knew that the people who worked with Adam at the FBI would notice his absence very quickly, and it wouldn't be long before they eventually started wondering what had happened to him. He was a very important man. And if Dominic was right and another Mafia Organization was involved that meant they would also be coming for Dominic too. I stared at Dominic who was still covered in blood. His suit was torn and his face was covered with bruises. He looked tired, but he still had that look of determination and frustration that always managed to infuriate and fascinate me at the same time. “I think we need to change locations. It is not safe to be here anymore.” I said. Dominic raised a brow. “Not yet. It is not safe yet.” I looked at him as though he had gone crazy. “That is exactly why we should leave. If t

DOMINIC'S POV Emily brushed her fingers gently on my bruised cheek from where Adam had hit me. “You have to be more careful.” She said in a whisper. She shook her head as she continued to take care of the injuries on my face. Her lips were pressed into a thin line and I knew she was not happy about what I had just said. “I will be more careful,” I told her to ease her mind, but she was not buying it. “I am being serious. All of this is not an adventure. You could get killed. What would happen to Anita if something happened to you? She's already lost her mother; she can't lose you, too. One day your plan might fail and—” she dropped her hands from my face and looked away from me. “I'll make sure that never happens. My plans will never fail. Plus you should already know this about me… I don't lose.” “I don't know why I waste my breath on you. You're impossible.” She muttered as she poured some antiseptic onto a ball of cotton. “Like you don't find that charming.” I teased her wan

EMILY’S POVI pressed closer to Dominic even after we broke the kiss. There were two parts of me. One part wanted to pull away because of the fear I still felt. All my life, I had done everything by the books. I never dated men who were into anything illegal. They were always upright guys and here I was, falling very fast for the leader of a Mafia Organization. It felt unnatural, but at the same time, it felt right.The second part of me wanted to see where this could go. Maybe I craved the chance to have an adventure and do things differently. The second part of me won as I melted into Dominic's touch. He pressed me closer to him and he kissed my neck. His lips were warm on my skin and it sent an electrical feeling down my spine. His large hands splayed behind my back as he pulled me closer to him. My mind was telling me to pull away, but my body craved Dominic; with each touch, heat pulled in between my legs, and all I could think about was him. Nothing else mattered. “Don't think

DOMINIC'S POV“Everything is under control now. The bodies have been disposed of and Ezra has been treated. It would take him a couple of weeks to recover.” Barry informed me. “That's good. We need our men ready for war and we need new recruits. There is no doubt in my mind that the Black Bloods will be coming for us. Plus, we might need to change locations soon before the FBI figures out that the last place Adam came to was here.” I explained to him. Barry nodded in agreement. “I will make all the necessary arrangements, but there is something that I think is important for you to know.” I raised my eyebrows at him. “And what is that?” “A source of mine in the FBI told me that they are starting to snoop around and ask questions about Adam. They have an intuition that Adam came here last, but they don't have evidence. They think he's disappeared. They don't know that he is dead yet."This whole thing with the FBI was very complicated. If they found any evidence against me, I wouldn

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
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 188
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
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 187
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
