Emily's Pov

Staring at the frame in my hand, my eyes were fixed on the beautiful woman smiling back at me. It was sad that such a beautiful woman would have her life taken away from her and the mere thought of this brought sadness to my heart.

"She was killed by a rival gang" he revealed, his voice low and while his eyes stared at me intently, I could see guilt written all over it.

"They cornered us during a meeting and although I was lucky to escape, it cost the life of the woman I held dear to me."

His hand was folded into a fist and anger etched across his face, for the first time I forgot I was dealing with a notorious Mafia lord who had kidnapped me and held me captive, all I saw was a grieving man whose love was taken away from him.

"I am sorry about that." I said sympathetically, touching his hand. "I can only wonder how hard it is for you."

His expression softened the band for a moment. I thought I saw a glimpse of a smile on his face, but it was quickly masked with h

    Dominic's pov I stepped out of the room with a feeling of satisfaction. Emily was the perfect bait to get to Maximus, and I had no doubt he was going to fall for the trick because of his liking for women. Emily was too beautiful to resist for sure. While walking to my office, my mind was filled with the thought of her, she was smart and highly resourceful and although many would say it is due to her time as an agent, I view it differently, she has taken down several Mafia lords and having her with me could pose as a risk, but it was worth it. By the time I arrived at my office, I had sat down by my desk and picked up my phone, dialling Barry's phone. "Barry, I need you to brief Emily on the plan we talked about and make sure she knows what is expected of her, I already showed her the layout, but I know you will come up with something even better." "Alright boss," he replied. "Permit me to ask, but are you sure we can trust her? Remember, she is a federal agent, and they are very tr

    Maximus POV "Are you sure he is going to answer your call to come to the address?" One of the men asked, to which I shook my head. "Knowing Dominic, he probably has some shady things off his sleeves, but I know he will come." I turned to the clubhouse, thinking of my plan that would soon be placed in motion. The rain was heavy, but the boys had taken it upon themselves to bring an umbrella. I had made my way into the club. The loud music blasted through the speakers, making everyone sway their hips to its rhythm. I wasn't here to party; I had serious business at hand, and there was only one place I could discuss my business: in the inner room. If Dominic was thinking he could be smart about concealing the deeds from me, I think I could take away the one last backup he replied to; Anderson. Before I would be allowed access into the inner room, I was to be checked thoroughly by the security at the doors, and the moment I gained access, I was welcomed into a smoke-filled atmosphere.

    Dominic's POV We would soon arrive at a distant location, one that had nobody in sight. I noticed the familiar statue of Maximus standing at the entrance of the unfurnished house with a smile on his face. "Great to see you again dear friend. I hope your trip was successful." "Maximus listen to me! I won't fall for your gimmicks, and if you think I am going to hand you the deeds again, then think about it." I warned, struggling through the cuff. "Somethings didn't change about you, Dominic. You are still that stubborn man that I know and I want you to access the situation right now with me. No one is going to save you from my hand if you don't hand me the deeds." "I would rather die than do that," I said spitting on the floor. "Very well then, you called for it." He said and I was pushed further into the building. My eyes landed on an unconscious body. As soon as the room became bright, I studied the body briefly and realized it was Maria, Emily's sister. "I thought she was dead

"Oh my God! Dominic, you are okay!" Emily rushed over to my side. I noticed tears in her eyes as she hugged me tight. "What happened?" I asked the moment she broke free from the hug. "Anderson’s men saved Maria and you." She said, still sobbing. "...he could not make it." She added sobbing even further. The weight of her words dawned on me, and I knew what she was talking about: Anderson was dead. "They found his body outside the building you and Maria were taken from. He seemed to have been shot dead by Maximus ." I gripped the pillow sheets in rage. Maximus was truly taking everything and everyone away from me. "What about Maria ?" I asked. "She is fine. The doctor said she suffered a concussion. Dominic, I am scared! Maximus has become a true monster. We cannot let him ke

Jace was an adept reader who hated being disturbed, but I needed his help if I ever wanted to get the deeds.Upon stepping into his room, there was no sign of Jace. The tables were littered with books. Typical of him to always be unorganized.While I went down to get the pillows, I noticed something unfamiliar. I looked to see Jace's slippers at the front of his bathroom. Jace never leaves these things in the bathroom before, so what was going on? I made my way slowly to the door of the bathroom, where I leaned closer to get a grasp of what was happening.The shower was running and it appeared that someone was having their bath. The moment I opened the door, I gasped in disbelief at the scene of horror displaying itself right before my eyes.I was staring at the lifeless body of Jace, who appeared to have been drowned in

The moment I pulled the door to my office open, I found Dominic sipping a cup of Hennessy with several documents on the table and a smile plastered across his face. "You know, I never thought you would have the balls to make a move; I give it to you. I never expected you to go for Jace.." I commented, standing by the door. "Oh, so you now choose words to use now? Jace deserves death. He was the brain behind your action, and I figured it was perfect. I ended him." Dominic said. I watch him hold a paper in his hand. "Right here in my hand is the deed to the company. You asked for it, now I have brought it for you." I stared at him for a moment, wondering what he was up to. "You must think I am a fool, Dominic. I know your tricks and I know you won't be willing to sacrifice your last hope to secure the company from me easily. So what do you hav

Your time has come to an end." I yelled out. "You had this all planned out didn't you?" He asked, his hands raised in the air. "You failed to prepare properly. I have been planning a raid on you for the past weeks, watching your every move instantly. I want you to know that when the time comes, the law will always catch up with you."One of the policemen with the cuffs stepped forward and held his hands. In a matter of seconds, I watched him pull out a gun from the police hand and I felt something hit me in the chest.My vision became blurry as I also watched Maximus fall to his knees. I looked at my hand and realized he had shot me with the gun."Dominic! You will be alright." Scorpion's right-hand man was beside me. I couldn't think of anything in the world other than staying in the arms of Emily at that moment.

Some of the nurses were trying to get me away, but no one was separating me from the love of my life."He can't possibly be dead." I struggled through their grip. "He needs to stay alive, for the sake of Anita and... myself." Tears dropped down my eyes, as I stared at his body. Even though he was my abductor, I still did not want him dead because of how much he loved his daughter. "Dominic, please! You always say you would never leave my side. I need you to keep that promise please." I looked up at him, his eyes shot close. I couldn't contain myself anymore, I couldn't even breathe. It almost felt like a part of me was moving away with Dominic and I was on a thin line between sanity and delusion.As I lay beside him, my tears reducing to sobs, my ears picked up the sound of the monitor beeping over and over again. I looked up to see the beeping sound coming from the machine at

    Emily Pov I was fuming after I hung up the call on Dominic. I wasn't sure if I had done the right thing by letting out how I felt. But at that moment I was convinced that I had to let him know that I wasn't scared of him and that I was no longer under his spell. I paced up and down the room furiously. I felt betrayed by everyone and I needed to come up with a plot on how to bring Adam and Dominic to their knees. I was done being used by them. I wasn't going to be a puppet in their silly little games anymore. But at the moment, nothing was coming to my mind on how to put my plan in motion. I felt trapped in my own mind. It felt like my mind was going to explode. My heart was rising rapidly. Frustratedly I screamed, throwing things across the room. Daniella rushed out of the bathroom in awe to see the scene unfolding in front of her. I didn't pay any attention to her as she tried moving closer to me, “Calm down Emily, what's the matter? She said as she moved towards me. But I st

    Dominic Pov “You have betrayed me yet again, Emily”, I said, breaking the silence from my end. She was quiet immediately after I spoke, and I knew she was in shock that I had called her. I had to use an unknown number with a burner phone because I didn't want to risk my location being found. I couldn't trust Emily anymore so I had to take precautions. We had arrived at a safe house which Barry had prepared before embarking on my rescue. We couldn't leave the city yet because it was flooded with the CIA, DEA and other security intelligence. Me and my gang had been declared wanted and dangerous all over the news, and a bounty had been placed on my head. “I know you can hear me, Emi, say something” I pressured. “At least give me some sort of explanation why you looked me in the eyes and fucked me up the second time” I lashed out infuriatedly. “I don't owe you any explanation, Dominic, or have you forgotten that I am a cop, and my job is to make sure that criminals like you are bro

    Emily Pov After we had left my appointment, we drove to a motel. I paid for a room with cash. I had stopped by the Atm, which was in the opposite direction from the motel, to withdraw some money. I didn't want our location to be tracked. It was already dark and I was feeding exhausted from all that had happened. Daniella didn't say a word all through the trip which I found unusual. She had gone to take a shower while I just sat on the bed deep in my thoughts. I combed through my mind on how to come out of the problems I was facing. I had made myself an enemy of a deadly mafia group. I could no longer depend on the security intelligence to watch my back. I had now become a fugitive. ‘How did things play out this way? My father's killer ‘Dominic’ is out there on the street….. Back to running his illegal deals. I couldn't help but reflect on how rash I was in making my decision about betraying Dominic. I could have thought harder about it before agreeing to Adam's plan. I was fu

    Emily Pov Before I came out of the restroom I had taken off my leather jacket and placed my head up in a ponytail. I approached the security at the exit unfazed. I flashed my badge and registered it on the monitor, and the barrier opened, and I walked out. I headed to my car and drove off. I needed to be as far from the office before Lucia would regain her consciousness and alert the security of my act. As I drove I was lost in my thoughts. Now, all hell had been set loose, and I was alone in my world. I had no friends or allies. I had become an enemy of the Mafia and also a fugitive of the law. I drove for a while with no direction, still thinking of a possible solution to help myself. Then I remembered that I had someone now under my care that needed protection. “Daniella,” I muttered to myself, turning the car in the direction of my apartment. I had to act quickly to take her out of the spotlight because I knew for sure that Barry would be coming for me. And Adam already kne

    Emily Pov After Adam called me a traitor and hung up on me. I scanned around the scene, making sure I wasn't being watched, and then I snuck away, fleeing the area before I could be noticed. I rushed to where I parked my car and drove off. I ran my hand through my hair. I knew I was fucked. Now, what, Emily… Fuck… Now what?” I screamed at myself, hitting my hands on the steering wheel. “I am so screwed” I muttered under my breath. Adam blamed the failed operation on me and called me a traitor to national security. I knew what Adam was like, he wasn't going to just sweep this under the rug. He always looked for a scapegoat to blame for all his failures. Only this time I was going to be his scapegoat. Not to talk of Barry breathing down my neck. I knew for sure that Barry would be coming for me, and this time, I was sure that Dominic would be gamed. I needed to find a way out of this mess that I had brought upon myself. I needed to act fast on what to do before the whole th

    Barry Pov “Sly bitch” I muttered to myself after Emily had hung up on me. I knew something was off after we met with Emily, the plan she had mapped out just seemed surreal to me. She had told us that the transfer was to happen on a low key and that only a few agents knew about it. She was supposed to be on the inside and feed us with more information if there was any. I still couldn't shake up the fact that Lucas had said something about Emily and her plan with the agents to bring us down. I knew Emily wasn't to be trusted because I could always see the slyness and deceitfulness in her from the start; aside from that, I hated her because she was a cop. Dominic wasn't going to listen to my plan if I had told him I had one. I was beginning to lose face with the boss, he didn't trust anything I said anymore just because of how blinded he was by Emily. So I had to keep him in the dark and came up with my plan which I was able to execute with the help of an old pal of mine, Enzo’.

It was Dominic we were talking about…. ThThe Dominic, how could I just stay put just like that without doing anything? I was the agent assigned from the start to bring the Dominic gang of mafia down. I also played a huge part in taking down Maximus and also in the arrest of Dominic. I wasn't going to back down so easily and just let things happen. I needed to see that the whole thing was done and done the right way. Even now that I have unfinished business with Dominic. I had left home to the interception where the whole operation was to be unfolded. I had arrived a few hours before the set time. I had positioned myself somewhere that I couldn't be seen. While I waited at the scene, thoughts of Dominic flooded my mind. The sparks in his eyes whenever he looked at me, the way he licked his lips and rubbed his jaw…. So se

    Dominic Pov We have been on the highway for eleven minutes since we left the prison. Every second that counts makes anxiety grow. I bit my lip hard in frustration. I hated the fact that I was in the dark. All I had now was expectations. I didn’t know what else to think about in this situation. My heart was beating hard and I could hear the sound of my breath. “Feeling scared already?” one of the officers mocked. “Don't worry you're going to fit in quite fine, after all that prison is meant for scumbags like you,” he added and then chuckled. I stared at him, smirked slightly, and then shrugged. I didn’t want to admit that he was right about me being scared. “Trust me, there's no one coming to rescue you; for all I know, your gang members must have already been on their way to the maximum security prison in handcuffs.” The officer shot again, only this time he let out a loud laugh. Whatever he was trying to do had worked, because his words had already gotten to me. Reality had sta

    Dominic Pov I wasn't aware of the transfer, no one had said anything to me. The whole day had been so quiet, I hadn't gotten any calls or visits. Even Derrick had been nowhere around the cell. I thought Emily was working with Barry to get me out, and now what? I am about to be transferred to a maximum security prison. I moved away from the door and went down on my knees while placing my hands backwards. The officer came in and placed a cuff on my hands. And then he and another officer helped me back on my feet. “Where's Derrick?” I asked after I had turned to the officers. “Does he know about the transfer?” “Oh! you mean the officer on your payroll, right?”Adam uttered with a chuckle. “What do you take me for? You think I don't see everything going around in this building….. That I let you play the role of a king in this place doesn't mean that you are one. I make the rules of this game.” He added. “Screw you, Adam, don't think for one that you have won…enjoy it while it
