All Chapters of Dominic: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

_DominicI drove away from the cabin but my mind was still inside it. I was happy that Isabella was finally coming around and taking this union seriously. Maybe bringing Cesare did a lot of good than I had first imagined. Speaking of which, I still needed to solve the Eric mystery. My brother owed me some explanation, not only about what happened the night Cesare was conceived but what had he been doing with my woman when I was away.I sneered at the thought of the two of them together, laughing and drinking. Bloody hell, if he touched what's mine, they would be hell to pay. But I had to keep my anger in check. I didn't want to give Mother more reasons not to trust in my capabilities to lead this family forward. Joseph had gotten hold of one of the men who broke into my home, that in itself was a plus for me. Finally, I would have one piece of the puzzle, and depending on its size, I would be able to solve the whole mystery that surrounded me. Whoever it was. I hoped for his sake,

_Dominic"Hands up and on your knees," the voice behind me said. I raised my hands. This was never how I had imagined things would turn out this way, and I was caught completely unprepared. "You go on your knees," another voice said, one that sounded very familiar to my ears. Something like hope filled me up. "Shit," I heard the man behind me say and lower his gun. I breathed a sigh of relief, took a risk, and turned around. "Vini?" I said and the little man gave me a broad smile. Proud of himself. Hell, I was proud of him. "Joseph said I should follow you, he thought you might need backup," he said."Seems he was right about that." I bent lower and looked at the man who was now on his knees with his hands up. When his eyes locked with mine, he blinked a couple of times, as if not believing what he was seeing. "Dominic? Is it you?" he dropped his hands and tried to get up."On your knees!" Vini shouted, and I gestured for him to calm down. "Do you know who I am?" I asked. The

_Dominic“What is it, spill it out,” I said impatiently. “Boss, we have company,” Vini said and we both got up from our respective chairs. The man I was with started to walk towards the back window and looked out.“I never got your name,” I said as soon as he turned and looked around. “Nikolai, but you can call me Nic,” he said, looking between me and Vini. Nikolai. He was Russian, but even as I searched in the hazy compartments of my brain, there was no Nikolai.“And I assume everyone has a gun,” Nic said, bringing me to the present and I grinned. Was he telling a joke? “Depending on how many are coming.” I showed him the pistol I always carried around. “You might want to back it up with this.” He handed me a rifle from his collection on the wall, he opened a drawer and I assumed he was looking for some ammunition. “Get down.” He said looking at Vini who was peeping through the window. "They might be able to see you from there." He handed me the ammunition and I loaded the ri

Three weeks later. _Isabella I shifted uneasily in my seat. Dominic looked at me sideways without taking his eyes off the road. "We talked about this," he said, as if he could see the turmoil of my emotions. "I know, but it still doesn't make it any easier," I answered and faced forward. He was going to confront his mother about our marriage. "I still think we should have told her that we were coming. And not ambush her." He gave no reaction that he was listening to what I was saying. The only reaction that showed he was listening was the ticking of his jaw, which was also gone in a split second. He squeezed my thigh to reassure me. "If I don't do this right now, nothing will ever change. You're my wife, and they should respect that or else..." "Or else what?" I asked. "They will never see me again," he whispered. "I wish there was another way." I said. "So do I," he murmured. The gates opened to the Montego estate, reopening old wounds and memories I would rather forget.

_Dominic_ The car drove up to the gates of my property. This time, I was content to sit at the back and let Joseph do the driving. Something that he should be doing every day. I was probably the only Don I knew who enjoyed the little freedom I had of driving myself without security by my side. The allure of the open road was thrilling but also dangerous. Now things had changed. With Isabella pregnant, I needed to take fewer risks that could have me killed. I wanted to be around for a long time to see my kids grow up, and for that to happen, I needed to make a few changes. Christopher had called me earlier about a visitor to the house. I hadn't been surprised that he had come because I had called him. Another thing was that I could kill more flies with honey than vinegar. I desperately needed Jacob; he held the missing piece of the puzzle, one that I needed. But with his brother by my side, it should be easier to get to him than it had proven to be so far. The door pulled open, an
