DOMINIC'S POV

“Boss, they are closing in,” Barry said.

“How do we have?”

“About an hour,” Barry said, looking very certain.

“Fuck!” I cursed under my breath. “We need to get everybody to safety and we need to intercept them at the gate.”

I ran my fingers through my hair as I struggled to think about what to do. I knew Luca would attack, but I didn't anticipate that it would be this soon. We were not prepared.

“Get everybody into the safe room and make sure nobody leaves without my instructions to do so,” I told Barry.

“Yes, boss.”

“Also, get our snipers in position. Ezra can't work, but we need to be ready with our weapons.”

“He just sent the word that he has moved everybody to safety. He will stay with them until this blows over.”

I was angry that I would not be able to have Ezra on the Battlefield. He was the best with his weapons and he never missed a target, but having him with us would only pose as a liability.

I clenched my fist as the pressure of the entire situation w

    DOMINIC'S POV The moment that I ended the call with Martello, I grabbed my guns and strapped them in. I also put enough backup bullets in my holster. Then I carried another gun with me in my hand. When I got down to the basement, Barry was already giving orders to the men and ensuring that each of them was ready. I knew that Luca was not going to hold back and I needed to make sure that I was ready for every attack that he would send my way. I needed to strike first and pull out all the stops if I wanted us to win this fight. The place was filled with tension as I walked to the front of my mansion. My body was humming with the rush of adrenaline that was passing through it. My men were in position, some were hidden behind barriers, the snipers were stationed on the rooftop and they were ready to start shooting the moment I told them to. “Martello's men won't be here for another thirty minutes,” I told Barry. “We don't have that kind of time and we are outnumbered.” I smirked at

    DOMINIC'S POV The air was filled with the sharp smell of explosives as I ran towards the safe room with my heart beating so loud I thought it would come out of my chest. As I approached, I saw Luca coming out of the safe room with his arms around Daniella and Anita, his gun pointed at their heads. When I looked behind, I saw Emily right behind him with a gun pointed at his back; when he turned around and saw her, he let out a laugh. “Let go of them, Luca,” I demanded. “If a single bullet from either one of you should go off, I will kill these girls right now.” “We had a deal, Luca.” “And you broke it when you sent me the cheap product. You really thought I would not notice?” “Fine. I'll send you the good stuff, just let them go.” I tried hard not to sound like I was begging. I didn't want him to think that I still couldn't blow his head off. I was only being careful because I didn't want anything to happen to my daughter. “I am not falling for it. I'm taking the girls and you

    DOMINIC'S POVI felt like I was going to suffocate from the amount of rage that I felt inside of me. There was nothing I hated more than disloyalty in my camp. When I found whoever was responsible for this, I would tear them apart and lead them to a very slow death. I will show them no mercy. I was already angry about the fact that Luca had outsmarted me and he had taken my daughter. Now I had to deal with the fact that someone who was supposed to be part of my team was responsible for this. I turned to Barry who was sitting on a chair by the window. His Jaws were clenched because he was just as angry as I was. “We need to come up with a plan to find out who this rat is immediately. The other men cannot know about this while we conduct our investigation. Just you and Ezra.” “Don't worry, we already have it covered. We are going to find whoever this fucker is and teach him a lesson.” Barry said through gritted teeth. “We need to go back to our surveillance to see if anybody has been

    ANITA'S POV The place was dark and it smelled heavily like damp wood, dead bodies and gasoline. I felt like I would throw up from the stench. My wrist hurt from where they had tied me tightly to the chair. Dani was beside me. I could hear her breathing unevenly, but that meant that she was still alive. Luca paced as he watched us intently. He looked like a predator that was waiting for the right moment to attack its prey. “Maybe your father doesn't care about you as much as I thought. You've been here for three days and instead of him to meet my demands to have you back, he's in his mansion brooding.” “My father is going to come for us. You'll see. Every one of you will pay for this.” I spat out. Luca looked amused as he crouched down and grabbed my face. “We have a feisty one right here. I guess you're not as weak as I thought.” He let go of my face and stood up. “I hope you are right and your Daddy does come for you; if not, it will be your funeral.” He said cynically and then

    EMILY’S POV I have not slept properly since that night. I was filled with worry and anxiety about the girls. Men like Luca were very terrible. What if he did something to them, like touching them inappropriately? He might not kill them, but he never promised not to damage them. I kept tossing and turning and finally, I could not take it anymore. I got out of bed and I went to Dominic's room. Without giving myself a single moment to second-guess my actions, I opened his door. Just as I had suspected, he was not asleep. He was seated in front of his desktop and his full attention was on the screen, but I knew he was aware of my presence. I closed the door and stood awkwardly, wondering what had brought me to his room in the first place. Deep down, I knew the answer. I was seeking comfort from him. In some weird way, Dominic had a way of bringing both chaos and peace into my life. He was dangerous, he was vile, he was ruthless, but he made me feel at ease. I can never really understan

    DOMINIC'S POV “You can't really give him the entire shipment,” Barry said after I explained to him what Luca had demanded. “I am not going to, I just want him to think that I am,” I explained. He let out a sigh of relief. “That's better, but what is the plan?” “We have one week to find who the snitch is. When we do, we will try to get the location from them before we end them.” I said and then turned to look at Ezra. “Hope your legs are getting better; we will need you once we find whoever this fucker is". “Yes, boss. I can't wait to get my hands on them.” “Barry, are you any closer to finding out who amongst the three is culpable?” “Not yet, but I'll keep watching out.” “We need to interview the three of them one at a time. Maybe we can start with Enzo.” I muttered. “But we can't let it be known that we are conducting an interrogation. Bring Enzo to me.” Barry nodded, and then he left, and Ezra followed behind him.

    ANITA'S POVI let out a groan as the pain from the rope tied tightly around my wrist bit into my flesh. I knew it was probably for the best for me to stop moving so much, but I couldn't help it. My arms hurt and the fact that I had been sitting for so long had become very uncomfortable. I just wanted to be away from this place. What was taking my father so long? “If you keep moving, the bruises will only get worse. Just sit still.” Dani said. She was very still, unlike me who was restless. She had been able to remain calm and I envied her for it. “How can you be so still? Aren't you uncomfortable?” I asked her. She turned to look at me. “I am used to things like this already. Plus, we have no choice but to wait for your father to come for us. There is no other possible way out of this.” I looked around the warehouse and shook my head. “There has to be a way out.” Just then, Luca and two of his men walked into the room. He had a mean-looking smile on his face as he walked closer t

    DOMINIC'S POV My blood was boiling with rage as I looked at the footage that Emily had pointed out to me. She really had a trained eye because I had looked at that footage so many times but I didn't catch it. I could not believe it—Vancini was the one who had betrayed me. After my interview with Enzo yesterday, I was getting ready to interview Vancini later in the day, but now there was no use for it. I picked up my phone and dialled Barry's number. “Barry, I want you to get Vancini to the basement immediately!” I barked into the phone after Barry had answered. “Okay, boss. I'm on it.” When I ended the call, I turned to look at Emily. She was still looking at the screen as though she was trying to find something else. “You have a very good eye,” I admitted. “Maybe you should consider allowing me to work with you.” She said seriously. I didn't give a response to that. This was not the time to be having that argument. All I wanted to do was get my hands on Vancini and squeeze so

    EMILY’S POVMy heart broke as I watched Dominic say his goodbye to Anita and Daniella. Daniella gave him a curt goodbye and stood at the side, but Anita was crying her eyes out at having to watch her father go. I cried also; I knew what was going through her mind; it was the same thing that was going through my mind, too. The fact is anything could happen, and we could never see him again. He could die. He looked at me, I could see the anger in his eyes…anger at the situation, anger at seeing his daughter cry, anger at everything that had brought him to this place. His eyes burned with fury. I walked up to him and threw my arms around him. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. “I'm so sorry.” He whispered into my ears. “Just come back.” “As soon as I can get away again, I'll be back.” He promised and then he left. I pulled Anita into my arms as he sobbed. I watched as Daniella stood there looking awkward, but something was going on that caught my atten

    DOMINIC'S POV I kissed Emily wildly and passionately as I led her to the bed, everything in me craved to be inside her. I was losing my mind in Italy, and on an impulse, I came back to see her. Being away from her was like hell, it was like a part of me was missing. The thing with the Cartel was getting too heated, and I could not be away for too long, but I needed a moment to breathe. The deeper we got into it, the more I wondered if this was actually going to end well for me. I pushed all thoughts of the war out of my head and I focused on Emily. Her plush, soft, sweet lips are on mine. I picked her up and placed her on the bed. I pulled away from her lips and trailed kisses from her neck to her stomach before coming back up to admire her perfect body, her skin was glowing with the light from the moon casting upon her. I could barely believe that she was mine. “Il sole, la luna e le stelle si inchinano alla tua bellezza.” I whispered to her. She looked at me in wonder and pure

    EMILY’S POV I let out a piercing scream as my eyes flew open and I turned around to see the intruder, only to be met with Dominic's piercing ocean-blue eyes. “Shit, you scared me,” I said, my hands placed on my chest. He gave me a sympathetic smile. “I didn't mean to startle you, my love. I only wanted to surprise you.” My fear gave way to delight and I jumped into his arms. “What are you doing here? I was so worried about you?” “I missed you too much, I had to come back and see you. I was going insane. I'll have to leave first thing in the morning.” He told me, but I didn't care how long he stayed, all that mattered to me was that he was here with me. “I am so glad you're here,” I whispered. “Me too, amore mio, me too.” He whispered before taking my lips in his. He pressed me against the wall as his tongue took over my mouth, I'd missed the taste of him even though he'd only been away for a week. His hands roamed my wet body as the water continued to wash over the two of us.

    EMILY’S POVIt has been three days since I had heard from Dominic since the last time that we spoke and I had to force myself not to worry about it. I needed a distraction. I walked into Sofia's room and found her with a book in her hand. I felt bad for being away for so long because I'd been distracted. She was probably losing her mind spending the whole day in this room. I decided it was time to give her some freedom. Dominic was not around and I was in charge. Plus, Dominic and Dino were now working together. “Hey,” I said. “Hey,” Sofia responded. “I'm sorry I've not been here to check in on you for a while. But I decided that since Dominic and Dino have reached an agreement and are now working together, there is no need to keep you locked up in this room. You deserve to have a bit of freedom. Move around the house and stuff.” I told her. Her face was bright, but she looked uncertain. “Would that sit well with your fiancé?” “What does it matter? He's not here. Plus I am in ch

    DOMINIC'S POV The smell of blood and gunpowder filled the air as I stood in the middle of the chaos that had just occurred. We had taken back my warehouse, but of course, the cost of it was the lifeless bodies that were littered all over the floor—some of the men from my side and the majority from the Mendez Cartel. I had won this part of the war, but I could not dwell on it for long because I knew worse attacks were on the way. Victor walked up beside me, wiping blood off his hands with a piece of clothing. We were both covered in blood. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes carried the same burden of fatigue that I felt in my bones also. “We've won this one.” He remarked. I nodded, still looking at the havoc before me. Williams had been nowhere to be found causing me to be disappointed. Williams was a desperate man… he was desperate for revenge and that was what made him more dangerous and a big threat to me—one that needed to be eliminated. “How many men did we lose?” I

    DOMINIC'S POVThe cold air bit into my skin as I stood on the balcony of Victor's mansion. I was exhausted, but my mind was too restless to let me sleep. The moon cast its pale glow over the estate, making it look especially magnificent. The view reminded me of Emily, I wish she was here so we could enjoy the scenery together.I let out a sigh. Tomorrow would be a bloodbath. Many lives would have to be taken to recover the warehouse that was taken from me. If Williams and his accomplice thought they could launch attacks on me with no consequences, then they had another thing coming. They thought I was scared of them. I wasn't—not anymore. I'd had many battles, but this was more important because it felt like I had something to lose. I had to protect Emily and Anita at all costs. ***EMILY’S POV I woke up drenched in sweat and breathing very hard as a result of the nightmare I'd just had. It had been so vivid, I was shocked to find out that it was a dream, but I was glad it was just

    EMILY’S POVMy phone rang and I rushed to answer it, knowing it was Dominic. I had been waiting for his call since he left. “Dominic…” I whispered into the phone, my voice shaking. “My love. I am here. I arrived at Victor's house an hour ago. I am exhausted.” He told me and I could hear the fatigue in his voice. A sob escaped my mouth even though I tried to stop it, the worry I had been feeling finally taking over. “I'm so glad you're okay. I was so scared. How's everything down there?” There was a heavy silence, almost as though he was trying to figure out whether to tell me or not. “There is nothing for you to be worried about. Everything is under control.” His voice was filled with confidence, but I did not believe him. I knew that even if I pushed for a response, I wasn't going to get anything more from him. For now, I was just grateful to be hearing his voice. “Okay. Be careful.” “I will. How are things over there?” “Everything is fine. I've been shopping with the girls…

    EMILY’S POVI watched as Dominic packed his bags, wishing he didn't have to go, but I knew that he did not have a choice. We shared a long, passionate kiss, and he moved away from me. The look in his eyes sent chills down my spine. “I should not be away for long, maybe a week. I'll call you when I land.” “Okay,” I told him weakly, knowing that there was nothing more to say. He nodded and then he walked out of the room. The moment he left the room, an unsettling feeling washed over me. I knew Dominic was strong, but this wasn't just any war that he was fighting. He was going against people who wanted his blood in return for the life that he took for them. That was practically a death sentence. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to get rid of the chills that took over my body that had nothing to do with the temperature. This was the part that I hated… the uncertainty, the waiting, not knowing how things would go from here. A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts. “C

    DOMINIC'S POV“They've launched an attack.” Barry and Ezra came to my office with the bad news the next morning, ruining my good mood and high spirits. “What did they do?” I asked through gritted teeth. “They intercepted one of our shipment drops and killed three of our men,” Ezra said. “Fuck, they've already begun to strike,” I said, feeling anxious because I did not have a plan yet. Just as I was trying to think about what to do, my phone rang with a call from Victor. I answered immediately. “I just heard what happened.” He said. “You need to come down to Italy right away. I've got thirty allies and we need to come up with a plan.” My jaw clenched and my mind was racing. Going to Italy meant leaving my family behind and who was going to be checking on things while I was gone? But I had to go, I needed everything Victor had to offer to help me fight this. I could not do this on my own. I needed the strategy and most importantly, the allies. “I'll be there tonight,” I assured h
