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 love for women. Emily was too beautiful for any man 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 the

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.Beside the window, several mints of dollars were being counted and gathered by a group of boys and at the king-size bed laid the man I had come to see, with two stunning strippers."Anderson," I called, forcing th

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. "Something didn't change about you, Dominic. You are still that stubborn man that I know and I want you to assess 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 lighter I would soon realize it was Maria. I was tied down to a chair, while I watched Maximus p

    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

"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.

    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.

I asked, still trying to make sense of the whole thing."Because I am Dominic Moreno, I can do anything I want." He boasted. "I will suggest that you seal your lips or you can be rest assured that Erick will take care of you." His voice was threatening. I looked up at Erick and he raised his shirt, revealing a gun underneath his trousers, causing me to get even more scared."Why are you doing this?" I asked."I am not going to hurt you, Emily, I just want to see you again. I am hoping to see you soon?” I tried to speak, but he cut the phone."He wants me to see him," I revealed this to Erick, who shrugged his shoulders."Whatever the boss wants, he gets." He said with a shrug. "No, your boss is a problem to the city, a hard criminal who thinks he can get away with everything and I am going to

You always think because of our past, I am doing things to sabotage you." He leaned closer again. "I am here to help you." "I don't need your bloody help, you might as well get out of my office!" I yelled at his face and the room became tense once again. "Very well then, I guess speaking to you was a mistake after all. I will go and find some Mafia lord, who will be able to help me take down Maximus myself." He rose to his feet and adjusted his tuxedo. "When the security intelligence comes for you, I hope they catch you and put you behind bars." He added. I closed my hands in a tight fist, trying to resist the urge to just punch him in the face because of his words. "I heard you have a daughter now. How will it feel when she finds out that her father is behind bars for several crimes? Of Course, the school children will..." I did not all

    Dominic's POV The conversation between Emily and my mom was absurd. Although I had taken an interest in her, it appeared that my mom's countenance contradicted everything. It was perfectly understandable because of what she had done in the past as an undercover agent.While watching Anita and Emily engage in more conversation, I sipped my drink and a smile came over my face as I realized Anita had never been this happy around anyone other than her.The door opened and Barry stepped inside, he looked from Emily and Anita back to me and cleared his throat."Boss, we have a situation on our hands." The look of seriousness on his face showed me all that I needed to know, it appeared to be a serious problem."Tell Dennis to come and watch over both of them," I instructed while gulping down the rest of the drink. "Where are you going?" I paused right in my tracks as Emily questioned me, leaving Anita's hand alone and walking up to meet me."And why should I explain myself to you?" I ask

I was a big fan of children and seeing the girl smiling with Dominic made me realize that even monsters can have a soft spot for their children. "Is this my new mom?" she asked in the sweetest way possible. I tried to look away as my cheeks turned red and hard. "No honey, but you'll like her," Dominic replied. The girl held out her hands, wanting me to take them. Dominic handed them to me and my whole heart melted. She was beautiful and her long, curly, thin hair and her eyes made her look like a princess. "What's your name?" she asked. "You can call me Emily, baby, how about you?" I asked. "Anita ." Although she was still toothy, the lack of teeth in the front row made her even more beautiful. "It seems like you like her," Dominic said. I was about to say something when the door opened again, revealing a woman. She had a piece of wood in her hand. "You idi

    Emily POV By the time I woke up from my sleep, I looked around realizing I was in an entirely different environment. The room was built on luxury and I could tell from the king-size bed I laid upon and the marble floor. Slowly my head is flooded with memories of all that had happened. My last moment with Dominic and how he had abducted me, after an invasion into his private cell. I got out of bed and walked out of the room, the long hallway which had several rooms side by side, didn't sit well with me because I wanted to speak to someone...anyone to say the least. While walking through the hallway, my ear perked up at the sound of laughter coming from a far corner of the hallway. I instinctively turned towards the path, where the voices were coming from. "You are still the same rusty gangster." Dominic's voice caught my attention by the time I reached the door, where the laughter was coming from. "I am so glad that you took the time off at the cell, it appears it must
