The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) chapter 15: Revenge Plan
Maximus’s povWhen I arrived at Jace's apartment, the weather had become warm once more, and I helped Jace turn on the air conditioner while heading to his room. 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

Maximus’s Pov I stepped into the company at the strike of midnight, fully aware that it was going to be a tough confrontation with Dominic. 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

Dominic's PovOnce the door to the elevator opened, we rushed outside the company to find Maximus already surrounded by the police. "It's over, Maximus; just give it up. 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.

Emily's PovThe moment I opened the door, Dominic's body lay there completely lifeless as I approached him. 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

EmilyThe route to the graveyard was on the outskirts of the city. Dominic suggested we bring flowers and dress in black attire to pay tribute to Maximus. I may not like the idea of seeing Maximus's grave, but one thing was certain, he changed everything about Dominic's family.Making our way through the cemetery, we arrived at his graveyards minutes later, and I was particularly surprised by the sight of a familiar face kneeling before his grave."Maria?" I called and she turned around to look at us."Oh hey!" She said getting up to her feet and wiping the tears in her eyes. She rushed to engulf me in a warm hug and we remained in that position for some time."What are you doing here?" I asked the moment we broke free from the hug."I came to drop some flowers at his grave," Maria revealed with teary eyes. I couldn't make up the reasons for her tears; they didn't make any sense to me."I know it sounds ridiculous after everything he has put me through, but then I have a confession to

Emily's Pov "How the hell haven't you reached out to me!" He screamed through the phone, forcing a smile out of my lips. "Let's just say my abductor isn't such a bad person after all," I said, turning around to look at Dominic, who was gazing in my direction."Cut that nonsense Emily, don't tell me you are beginning to develop a huge crush on Dominic?" He asked."I never said I had a crush on him, I just don't want things to escalate more than they already are. The death of Maximus, the notorious Mafia leader, was done by him, and if you can remember, Maximus was also on our radar as well." I explained."Then allow my men to handle Dominic, let us put an end to these bastards that call themselves Mafia lords." I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath and turning around once more to look at Dominic.There was no doubt that I would wish for him to be arrested, but the foresight of Anita crying over her jailed father did several things to my mind. I don't want the young girl to be witho

Emily's povWhen we arrived at the penthouse, it felt strange being amid the Mafia gang and being comfortable. They were jovial and fun and surprisingly highly civil, even though I knew they had several blood stains on their hands."So Emily, we have been wondering how you carry on your act. I mean how are you so subtle to the Mafia lords that they don't even sniff any suspicion?" One of the men asked."That is the most useless question I have heard in several years," Dominic responded, evoking laughter from everyone."Disguise..." I mentioned, causing everyone to stop."You don't have to reveal your secret to us. It should remain with you..." I stopped Dominic as he was speaking."Do you think after helping you kill Maximus, saving my sister and also speaking to the agent that they will let you go, do you think that they will still be on my side?" I asked."But you are still an agent though. You have their badge and you are also a highly respected member amongst them." Barry responds

Emily's Pov My heart was pounding really fast as Dominic and I moved through the hallway. How did they get hold of Maria? These and many more questions bothered me, as we made a turn into his office, where Dominic would eventually sit down. Barry burst into the room barely seconds later with two men who were handcuffed. They were made to kneel down before Dominic, while I watched on. "I asked both of you to take good care of my daughter and Maria and what did you do? You left both of them to play video games." His voice was cold and calculative. "We are sorry boss, it's just that staying indoors all day long and having to watch over them bored us all out. Maria and Anita were becoming close friends and we did not think the intelligence would come for them." I heard the chair moved backwards and Dominic walked forward to meet them with his hands right in the pocket. My curiosity rose over the roof, wondering how it was even possible that the security intelligence had gotten ther

EMILY’S POV I woke up feeling very groggy and sour from the night before. I reached out instinctively, my hand brushing against the side of his bed that was still warm. He wasn't in bed with me. I sat up straight, wincing at the dull ache between my legs. My mind went back to last night. It had been very intense and wonderful. Dominic moved in and out of me with animalistic strengths. He had an injured shoulder, but even that had not been able to stop him. Then he pulled me into his arms afterwards and whispered sweet words into my ears till I fell asleep. I ran my fingers through my hair, which was in a tangled mess. I wrapped the sheets tight around my body and walked to the window. It was a beautiful morning. The sun was shining, the sky was clear, the birds chirping in the trees. I couldn't help but feel a moment of happiness. But that feeling didn't last long when I remembered that danger was lurking in the shadows. Steven Crowley. A chill ran down my spine at the thoug

DOMINIC'S POV His Jaws were clenched as I spoke. I could see the obvious irritation on his face, but he was trying his best to conceal it. “Yes, sir.” “You've been my right-hand man for over ten years, and I am impressed with your work, and I've never had any reason to question your loyalty to me,” I told him. His features softened, and he looked happy with my approval, I could tell by the way his body relaxed. “Thank you, sir. It is a pleasure to work with you.” “I will be stepping away from my position for some time once this is over. I'm not getting any younger, and I need to work on building my family and producing an heir.” He turned to look at me like I'd slapped him across the face. “But things don't work that way, Dominic. Who will be in charge once you leave?” “You,” I said simply, and he looked like he was taken aback by this. “What?” He asked, his voice shaking. I've known Barry for a long time and it often took a lot to surprise him. He'd been through har
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 185
DOMINIC'S POVThe next morning, I peeled my eyes open slowly, and it was shining into the room. Emily was still asleep beside me, looking gorgeous and peaceful with the sheets wrapped around her naked form. I got out of bed, careful not to wake her up. I picked up my phone and sent a text blast to Victor, Barry, and Ezra. “Meet me in the basement, now.” I pulled on a tee shirt and a pair of black sweatpants, which took longer than usual because of my shoulders, which still hurt excessively. Emily was right, and I needed to get the wound treated by a professional. I'll have Victor call his doctor to take a look at the injury. I could not afford any distractions during this period when the threat from Damien seemed to be growing. When I got to the basement, all three of them were already there. Barry and Victor looked up and alert as usual, but Victor looked exhausted even though he'd spent the whole of the previous day resting. “Dominic, what was so urgent that you had to take me
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 184
DOMINIC'S POVEmily’s words kept playing over and over again in my head long after she said them. Dominic Moreno doesn't lose. I wish I had eleven of them with the same strong conviction as she did. I stared at the screen, at the man with calculating eyes staring back at me. Steven Crowley. The name did not ring a bell, although I had many enemies that I didn't even know about. So many people hated me. But the pattern of his involvement with Damien was what caught my interest. Originally, I thought that Damien had just been assembling thugs, but that wasn't the case anymore. He was building a strong army, and even I could not deny that he had very good alliances. It was obvious that that Crowley man was the brain behind what happened yesterday. Emily’s hands were still on my shoulders, kneading them softly to take the tension away. Her gentle fingers were very comforting. I looked up at her. Her hair was in a messy bun on top of her head, and her eyes were tired from sleep, but they
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 183
EMILY’S POVThe next morning, I could barely stand to look at myself in the mirror. My eyes were swollen from lack of sleep. My eye bags were probably the worst ones a person could have. My heart was also still very heavy with everything that had happened. Dominic was still asleep as I slipped out of bed. I had to be very careful so I would not wake him up. He definitely needed the rest. He looked more relaxed as a result of the painkillers he had taken, which had dulled the pain from his industry. I pressed a soft kiss to his forehead, and then I made my way to Victor's study. The house was very quiet. Ezra and Barry had gone out to train the men, and Victor was still resting. That gave me the type of peace I needed to work. It had been a long time since I'd put my braid to good use, and I was excited. I sat in on Dominic's heavily secured computer. Just as he'd given access to his encrypted network right before he went to bed yesterday. Although I knew he did so with reluctance, i
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 182
DOMINIC'S POVThe pain in my shoulder kept me awake long after everybody had slept. Emily had insisted on staying by my side, but I knew that she was tired, and I made her lie down. The only time Emily genuinely looked to be at peace was when she was asleep. Whenever she was awake, I could see the worry in her eyes. I knew that she was having a hard time, and I felt bad because I put her in this situation, but I was going to make it right. Victor had gone to sleep immediately. His injury was not as deep as mine, but he was in pain nonetheless. Victor never complained, no matter how bad things got. I stared at the ceiling as I went over everything that happened in my mind. We had gone in just as planned. We had been fast and efficient, and we launched our attacks with precision. Everything was going well until ten minutes later when Damien's men began to attack. They were prepared—too prepared. That wasn't as a result of luck. They had been very strategic. And Damien was after me.
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 181
EMILY’S POV The car doors opened, and the men came out of the car one by one. Fear gripped my chest frantically as my eyes landed on Dominic, who was leaning against Barry with blood soaking through his white shirt. I immediately left the room and rushed downstairs to meet them. When I finally got to where they were, I noticed that Dominic's teeth were clenched in pain. “Dominic…” I breathed, walking towards him and looking him over. “I'm fine.” He muttered stubbornly through gritted teeth. “Your shirt is soaked in blood. You are not fine,” I said, placing his hand over my shoulders. “Let's go inside so I can take a look at it.” Victor appeared out of the car, clutching his side in pain and limping. He wasn't wearing a shirt, and I noticed that a nasty bruise was already beginning to form at his side, just above his ribs. Even though he was in obvious pain, he managed to give me a weak smile. “Don't worry, Em. We made it alive, just some minor injuries.” He said with a shrug, a

DOMINIC'S POV The following day was filled with activities and trying to get ready for the attack at night. The estate was filled with tension with the men checking and loading the weapons into the vehicles. We had mapped out escape routes in case things didn't go as planned. I always made sure I had three plans. We only wanted to attack and leave. Emily kept her word and remained indoors the whole time without interfering which was hard for her because I knew how much she loved the action. There was a certain level of safety I felt having her here, but I still had to be careful. Anita and Daniella were safe, but I had to keep an eye on Emily. By nine in the night, everything was ready. My men were in position and the weapons were loaded. The attack was not supposed to last for anything more than an hour if we did it correctly. “Everything is set. We've scouted out Damien's location, and they look like it's just a normal day for them; they have no idea that an attack is on the way
The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) Chapter 179
DOMINIC'S POV“You shouldn't be here, it's not safe,” I told her. My voice was low and tense. She walked into the room slowly. Barry and Ezra walked out and closed the door quietly behind them. “I know, but I was worried about you. I hate being so far away, I want to be by your side through it all.” She told me sincerely,“I told you I can handle it. I don't want you here, I want you to go back home where you can be safe.” I told her, but I wasn't even sure if I meant it. The logical part of me wanted her back home, but the part that missed her and needed her wanted her here. “I'm not leaving, Dominic. I'm staying till this is over.” She stated strongly. I could see the look of determination on her face. “How did you even get here? That was a risk.” “I asked Victor for help. He made sure everything was in the clear for me to travel.” She explained, moving closer to me. Unable to help myself anymore, I pulled her into my arms. “So Victor was in on it?” I whispered. “Yes.”I was
