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.

"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.

    DOMINIC’S POVThe place was quiet with my outburst and Emily just kept glaring at me. I was sick and tired of having the same conversation, but I was not going to give her what she wanted, I needed to come up with something that could keep her occupied so she would not feel so helpless. I let out a shaky breath. The day had been too long and I was already very exhausted. I just wanted to sleep, but I could not sleep knowing that Emily was angry with me. “How about I let you handle anything that had to do with surveillance?” I ask her. She narrows her eyes at me and shakes her head. “Am I supposed to be looking at the camera twenty-four hours a day?” “No. I mean when we are trying to find something on a footage. You were able to find something that neither Barry, Ezra nor I could find.” “No. I want to be in on the strategic planning, I do not really have to go out with you to fight, but I can help you to put things together. I am very good at it.” Knowing that this was not an argu

    EMILY’S POVI had just slipped into bed, prepared to go to sleep when Dominic walked into the room. I had not seen him in over three hours since we had spoken in the living room and I was relieved. I was tired of fighting with him and his domineering attitude made me feel like I was suffocating. I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep so I would not have to communicate with him. I knew I had feelings for him, but he also made me angry with his controlling behaviour and I felt like the easiest way to avoid that was by avoiding him. I hated feeling like I was being restricted. I did not like feeling like I was not useful and that was exactly how he made me feel. I understood that he was only trying to protect me, but it was costing me my sanity. Thinking about it made me so mad and my eyes began to sting with angry tears. I was grateful that the room was dark and Dominic did not put it on, although I could hear him moving around. Probably stripping out of his clothes and going to

I answered it immediately and a voice that I did not recognize came through the phone. “This is not over, Dominic Moreno. You killed my father, and for that, I will kill you.” The voice said and hung up before I could make sense of what was happening. I knew that it had something to do with the Black Bloods. “Barry! I need you to look into the Black Bloods. I need every information on their new leader.” I ordered. He nodded and then left immediately. When I looked up from my phone, I saw Emily staring at me. I knew she had heard my conversation and she wanted to know what I was going to do, but she was not going to ask.The whole flight, she did not say a single word to me, not even when I had spoken to her directly. When I tried to touch her, she pulled away from me and that had angered me, but I kept it to myself. I knew she was still trying to come to terms

    EMILY’S POVWhen Dominic left the room, I collapsed onto the bed. My body was still shaking from the aftermath of what had just happened. Not just from the intense climax, but from the anger I was feeling. I could not believe that Dominic had used my craving for him to make me do his bidding. What upset me more was the fact that I was not as angry about it as I should be. In fact, I really liked how he took and owned my body. Somehow, Dominic had sucked me into his dark and twisted world. What he did was not okay so why did I enjoy it so much? I hated how much power that he held over me. I hated the fact that he was right. I had experienced him so much that the thought of being without him caused me pain. The thought of leaving him and going back to my old life in America—if there was even a life to go back to felt hollow. But even though the way that he had used my desires to manipulate me was something that I was not going to let go of. That man was insufferable. I got up and put

    DOMINIC’S POVAfter I left Anita’s room, I went into Emily’s room to make sure that she was packing. If Emily didn’t come with me, I would lose my mind. She had already become a part of me and I could not lose her. I would do everything to keep her by my side, even if that meant kidnapping her. When I walked into her room, she was packing her bags. “I am glad that you have come to your senses,” I told her. She stopped packing and turned to look at me. “I am not coming with you. I am going back to America.” My blood began to boil. “Why do you always have to be so fucking stubborn? You will do no such thing.” I barked out. “You cannot tell me what to do.” She said and went back to packing. I walked slowly to her and stood behind her. Then I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close to me. Her back was against my chest and her ass was pressed up against my hard cock. “I am not giving you a choice,” I whispered in her ears. I wrapped my hand gently around her neck. I could se

    EMILY’S POVJust as the girls left, Dominic walked into the living room covered in blood. I didn’t even realise I had been so worried about him, despite being angry with him. I let out a sigh of relief as I rushed over to him and he pulled me in for an embrace. When things like this happen, the possibility of someone dying is very high, especially for Dominic who is always in front of the battle. “I am so glad you are okay and that this whole nightmare is over,” I told him when we finally pulled away from each other. I could see the dark look in his eyes, the one he got whenever he wanted to kill someone or after killing someone. “It isn’t over—that part is, but I just got a message from my sources; the FBI has traced Adam’s last whereabouts to the estate. We need to leave immediately.” He said. My heart sank as my mind tried to process the information. If I ran away with Dominic, that would be the nail in my coffin. I would never be able to work for the federal agency again. Domi

In only a matter of time, my father’s men had taken down Luca’s men and then we were on the move again. When we got to the front of Luca’s estate, I could spot my father and Luca in a fight. I wanted to run towards them, but one of the men grabbed a hold of me and pulled me back. "Your father instructed us to take you to safety. He will join us once he is done here.” The man said as he carried me away. My heart hammered in my chest with fear that something would happen to my father. ***DOMINIC’S POVFinding the location for Luca’s safehouse where he kept the girls had been easy.

I stood up, the adrenaline rushing through my body. “Is he dead?” I asked. “He's not dead yet, but by my predictions, he should bleed out in an hour,” Barry said. I nodded my approval at him. I could always trust him and Ezra together. Individually, they were great, but together, they were a force to be reckoned with. “Okay, get the men ready. We are going to have a meeting in the warehouse. I want everybody there in thirty minutes. By tonight, we are going to attack Luca's safehouse and get the girls.” I ordered. “On it, sir,” Barry said with a nod and walked out of the office just as Emily was walking in. “We've been able to get the location. My men and I will be going there tonight to get the girls.” I informed her. Her eyes lit up and she let out a sigh of relief. “I am so glad to hear that. So what is the plan?” “I am going to discuss that with the men. W

    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
