Maximus’s pov

When 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

"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.

    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

I could hear screams coming from one of the holding cells, but I could care less for criminals who have refused to bend to my authority.The door was opened and my eyes landed on the dark brown hair seated on the chair in handcuffs with tears running down her eyes. "I am guessing this is the first time we are meeting Miss Maria or should I say Mrs Maria." I cracked a smile on my face, seeing how worried she looked."What do you want from me? I haven't done anything wrong." She said,"Of Course, you haven't done anything wrong, my dear friend. The only problem is that we need you to bait a very important person and once they come to us, we will let you leave." "Dominic Moreno? I am sure that is who you want, but let me tell you something. He is going to come and I know you will regret ever asking for his presence." Her choice o

    Emily povIt was around 8pm, I drove up to a deserted area and then stopped in front of an abandoned warehouse. It was the location where Barry had texted me to meet him.It was dark. I reached into my bag, took out a pistol, and hid it in my waistline at the back of my jeans trousers, covering it with my leather jacket. I came out of the car and looked around but I couldn't catch a glimpse of anyone around.I took out my phone and dialled Barry's number, just then I saw flashes of red lights coming from inside the warehouse.Barry answered the phone and in a cold tone, he spoke. ‘Walk towards the light’’ and before I could say anything he hung up.I hesitated for a while before following his instruction; I couldn't quite place mine on why he insisted we meet here in a deserted environment. I knew Barry didn’t trust me and that he wanted me dead, but I was certain that he wouldn’t harm me because Dominic had instructed him to protect me.As I walked in the direction of the red lights

    “Boss” Barry's voice ranged from the other end of the phone. “what have you got on Adam” I asked “Not much for now, but I have people working on it,” Barry said. “What have you been doing, Barry? Golfing around and playing the boss in my absence?“ “No boss” “I need that son of a bitch out of the picture already,” I said in range. “Okay boss, but that's not why I called” “Then why did you call?” There was silence on the other end, and I knew he was trying to not sound so offensive. “Speak up, Barry, don't waste my time”, I lashed out in anger. And then it dawned on me that all I had was time; I was in a frickin cell. “It's about Emily," Barry paused.” I don't think we can trust her with the plan to get you out” he spat out. I clenched my fist and tightened my jaw” What do you mean?” I uttered. My voice was barely above a whisper. “Lucas said something before I put a bullet in his head- “ Lucas?” I interrupted.“And what does that have to do with Emil

    Emily’s pov I sat in a dark corner of my apartment. My mind was filled with emotions, and my thoughts were racing with what I had uncovered from what Adam shared. I still didn’t want to believe that Dominic was involved in my father's death, for all I know or what I have believed was that my father died in the line of action while chasing a drug dealer. I never would have guessed that Dominic was that mafia who had murdered my father. Dominic betrayer cut deep. All the feelings I had growing for him were gradually turning into hatred, and I felt sick in my stomach for loving him and for not being able to recognize my father's killer. If this was true, and I have been prone to Dominic's game, then bringing Dominic and his entire network down would not be enough. I would have to destroy everything that he ever loved and cared for. As I mull over my next move, my phone buzzed on the bedside table. I delayed for a moment before answering the call. “Emily, it's Barry,” the voice fro

    Emily's PovMy eyes widened as Adams spread out some documents across the glass table in his office. The whole world stops spinning as I stare at the documents Adam had slid out."These are evidence proving Dominic is linked to various shell companies, "Adam explained, his voice firm and low. “In these documents, you will find out all about trails of money laundry and influences which lead to the death of your father.I shifted my gaze from Adam to the papers, my eyes narrowed. This can't be true, it's just another plot Adam has come up with to get me to turn on Dominic. "What do you think you’re doing? You know what, whatever it is you are selling, I am not buying any of it," I said with my voice firm but filled with a hint of desperation. "Look Emily, I know you think you know him well enough and that you love him, but you don't know the real Dominic. He is nothing but a manipulating bastard who will do anything to get what he wants". "This can't be true,'' I said in disbelief.

    Emily's Pov Barry had left my apartment even though it was hard to convince him that I was going to help Dominic gain his freedom back. I lay down on my bed that night thinking of what would have happened to me if Barry had not come to my rescue and it was all thanks to Dominic that I was still breathing. I needed to come up with a plan to help Dominic as quickly as possible because I wouldn't want to be labelled as a liar again. I miss Anita so much, and I couldn’t help but wonder how she would be feeling right now as she had been separated from her father again. In as much as I was doing my job as an agent, Dominic had been nothing but sweet to me. I couldn't hold down my feelings towards him anymore. I needed to keep to my promise this time. I stood up from my bed as I couldn't fall asleep with all these thoughts in my mind, plus the fear of having another intruder in my apartment. I walked to the kitchen which was still in a mess, and I opened the fridge. “shit!” The fri

    Emily's povThe moon shines through the entire East Coast, and as I sit on the balcony of my apartment, I can see the activities of this beautiful place. At some point, my mind was bugged with the reality of what I had done and the threats from Barry. It is so ironic that despite how I had betrayed him, he still informed his men never to come for me. In my life, I had struck a deal with him and I will make sure that he is out of there sooner than expected.Suddenly the sound of plates crashing on the floor filled my ears and broke me away from my thoughts. I stopped the gentle music playing and curiosity hit me. What could have possibly caused that to happen? I wondered as I walked through the hallway and finally arrived at the kitchen. There was no one on sight and it made the whole scenario look even more suspicious. I reached out to my pocket to grab my phone, when it was snatched away from me."What the hell...." I expressed, as the intruder also shoved me to the ground. "Who

    Dominic's POV “She’s becoming a problem, Boss,” he finally said. “A problem?” I echoed. "Yes. A distraction. For you. For everyone. She’s causing more trouble than she’s worth.” “She’s not a distraction,” I said evenly, though my voice had a dangerous edge to it.“She is, Dominic, and you know it. Ever since she came into your life, you haven’t been yourself. You’re not focused, not thinking clearly, and now you also end up in jail because of her."“Watch your words, Barry,” I warned.“I’m just telling you the truth,” he shot back, his voice steady. “You’ve gone soft because of her. The others are starting to notice. She’s a weakness. And in our world, weaknesses should be cut off.” “What are you trying to say, Barry?" I asked on the phone. “I’m saying you need to deal with her. Give her a harsher punishment. Or eliminate her. That is what we do to rats and she is one."The word hung in the air like poison.“Eliminate?” I repeated, my voice low and dangerous.Barry didn’t back d

    Dominic's POV After Emily left my room, I caught myself smiling. Smiling! “Che diavolo!” I muttered under my breath in Italian. “Get it together, man!”I ran a hand through my hair, pacing back and forth. She was driving me insane, and I didn’t know how to stop it. Everything she said was true. Every word. I couldn’t even pretend to deny it anymore. I tried to tell myself I was in control. But I wasn’t.The reality remains that I should have just left her that day in prison, my present moment would not exist, and maybe I would have secured more shipments to the East Coast. After I abducted her, I could barely eat, barely make conversation. My mother, Barry, and even Anita because of her and I hate to admit that I had noticed something was wrong with me.Every time I saw Emily, the control I prided myself on slipped. My carefully built walls cracked whenever she was near, and it was frustrating.I didn’t want to feel this way about her, but it was like she had found a way into my

    Emily POV"I am here to see Dominic Moreno." I raised my badge to one of the officers on duty, but he stood his ground, not willing to leave. "Listen, I understand that you have been instructed by Adam not to allow me to see him, but I have something for you." I reached out to my purse and pulled out a couple of notes. "A hundred grand, get him out of the cell because of the cameras and bring him to the investigation room." I waved the bundle before the officer, who grabbed it."I need the money anyways.." he said with a smile before turning towards the main cell.I made my way out of the cell holding facilities with anxiety, not knowing how Dominic was most likely to react.By the time I got to the investigative room, I began to pace around, thinking of how to approach him and what exactly to say.Some minutes later, there was a knock on the door and the officer pushed Dominic inside. He was in handcuffs."Remove the handcuffs," I ordered."That will be your death signed and sealed
