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
EMILY’S POV I leaned against the wall and let out a shaky breath as a wave of uncertainty washed over me. I don't know why it had never occurred to me that this was all it would boil down to. Was I really ready to give up my career for a man like Dominic? When I joined the agency, I wanted to do good. I wanted to help people and put away the bad guys, but now, by some sick twist of fate, my heart had chosen to fall for a man who was the leader of all bad guys, a man who had blood on his hands. I believed in what I did, at least I used to. Now it felt like I was being pulled deeper and deeper into Dominic's world to the point that I didn't even know who I was anymore or what I wanted. I ran my fingers through my hair and let out a deep breath. After everything that had happened, could I still go back? Would the FBI even accept me back after they found out where I had been all this while? Even if I wanted to clear my name, just the fact that I was involved with Dominic and the fact t
DOMINIC'S POV“How can you agree to give them thirty?” Barry asked after I told him how the meeting went. “I know what I am doing. We are giving them the cheap stuff. To them, it would be like gold. Plus, I want them to think that they have us where they want us. You and I both know that they will still come after us. Luca is never to be trusted.” I told him. “I am glad you know that. He has a reputation for being dishonest, but he is also very dangerous because of how unhinged he is.” It was Ezra who spoke this time. It was one week after the attack and he was in a wheelchair. That didn't stop him from still trying to work, no matter how much the Doctor advised him against it. “We need to be ready for when they attack. Barry, how are things going with the new location, both for the drop-off and the house? I think we should move sooner rather than later.” “Yes, boss. I have a few options, but I am checking them out.” “Well, work faster. We don't have time.” ***The past week ha
Emily POVStaring out the window of my car, I admired the beauty of the Moreno estate. It is such a shame that a family of this calibre is involved with so many illegal activities."Emily!" I heard my name through the earpiece. "This is Adam, remember the plan, do this once and get out immediately. You are Lena Grant, a high society event planner, don't forget that."Every single instruction he had dished out, I made sure to pay close attention. Being an undercover agent for the Central investigative office for several years comes with a lot of experience. I am not new to the task, but for some reason, I have an odd feeling about this operation. This is the third week that I have been rehearsing for the role after the case was brought before my desk, so the execution was never going to be a problem.Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath and stepped out of the vehicle onto the lawn of Moreno estate. The urge to just stand in awe and admire the beautiful piece of construction was heav
Emily POV He stared at the table where I dropped the folders and then back at my phone. As he approached me, I felt my heart pounding. "Maybe I never said this from the beginning, but I don't like it when people enter places that they are not supposed to be." He glared at me, while his voice was laced with venom. 'You have to leave now!' I heard Adam yell through my earpiece, but I am not the type of agent to run away from a challenge. I broke the last distance between the both of us, smiling despite seeing the anger in his eyes. "I am sorry if I broke into your private space, I cannot help but admire the decorations in the office," I said, pointing to the direction of the designs on the wall. My lie did not seem to have impressed him, as his expression was unreadable. The tension in the room was palpable and I began to wonder what could be going through his mind. "I think you will find out that the real beauty is in the view." He says, pointing to the city skyline, which
Three days later… Emily POV "I was scared you were going to blow up your cover, so I had to send forces on your behalf," Adam said, as we walked through the cell rooms. "I have spent several years as an undercover agent and not once have I blown my cover, I don't intend to do it with the Moreno family," I replied. We stopped at the solitary confined cell and Adams turned to look at me, worry written all over his face. "Are you sure you can handle him? Dominic may be calm, but there is no saying what he is going to do to you after you betrayed his trust." I understood Adam's worrying statement, the Moreno family must be out there looking to kill me, which is why I need to get the information from Dominic about his activities before leaving the country. "You don't have to worry about anything Adams, I will be fine," I assured him. He nods his head in understanding and the cell door is opened. "Good luck." He commented, before leaving. I took a deep breath and stepped into the
Emily POVDuring the endless hours of my flight, I was angry at the fact that Dominic had questioned my sexual life in the presence of everyone who had most likely listened to our conversation in the cell room. Never had anyone disrespected me in several years than he had done that very moment.When I arrived at my apartment, I noticed a strange black van parked opposite my apartment. Before my journey to the prison, there had been no cars across the street, which makes this one very suspicious.Regardless, I walked into the living room but stopped when a masculine scent hit my nose and this caused me to be alert, realising someone had broken into my space.When I dropped my bag on the couch, I heard the sound of plates dropping to the floor in my kitchen and a deep voice cursing. I reached into my purse for a pepper spray, ready to take on the intruder.My feet touched the floor quietly, as I moved towards the kitchen. My heart was pounding as I did not know what to expect. When I a

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 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 the FBI shou
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 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 “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
