Chapter 111: Assured

EMILY’S POV I stood at the doorway, my gaze fixed on the woman in front of me who looked at me with widened eyes. Trying to see if I was a threat or not. Her dark hair was dishevelled, her dress was rumpled and she looked tired. But even in her discomfort, she carried herself with grace. I could tell that she had never been in a position like this before. She straightened, her hands gripping the silk beneath her. “Who are you?” She asked, her voice hoarse and dry. I made a mental note to ask someone to bring some water up to her. “I'm Emily. How about you?” I asked. I knew who she was but I wanted to hear her say it, maybe to be sure—I don't know. “You must already know who I am.” She told me with raised eyebrows. “I know, but I want to hear you say it by yourself,” I said, taking a few steps into the room. I closed the door behind me. I only had a few minutes to talk to her. Dominic did not want to disclose what room she was in, so I followed him discreetly to find out. “My n

Chapter 112: Upset

DOMINIC'S POVI watched through the CCTV cameras as Emily left the room, my blood boiling with rage. There was a reason that I didn't want her going into that room; I didn't want her to become best friends with my hostage, and from what I could see, that had already happened. How did she even figure out where the room was? Any type of relationship between Emily and Sofia could be detrimental to my plans. It would make execution very hard for me if it was necessary. I stormed out of my office and went to my bedroom where I knew she would be. I walked into the room and saw her sitting at the edge of the bed and loosening her braids. She was so fucking graceful and beautiful; if I wasn't so angry at her, I'd have spread her legs and kissed the lips of her core. When she turned to look at me, I could tell that she knew exactly why I was angry, but she did not seem to care, which further infuriated me. “What the fuck were you doing in Sofia's room?” “I just wanted to talk to her.” She

Chapter 113: Bargain

EMILY’S POV I was filled with relief at Dominic's words, but it was only partial relief. I knew better than to believe Dominic fully. He was a man of contradictions and he could easily go back on his words. He could be sweet and tender one moment, but when it came to his enemies he could be ruthless. There was no doubt that if Sofia became more trouble than he bargained for, he would not hesitate to end her. I needed to make sure that didn't happen. Dominic moved closer to me; his eyes were still burning with frustration, and he narrowed his eyes at me as though telling me that he knew exactly what I was thinking. “I don't want to hear anything about this from you again. You will stay out of this. I have given you two things that you want. You can't make any requests anymore.” I stared at him defiantly and I crossed my arms, refusing to be intimidated by him. “I didn't say I wanted you to spare her life. I said you had to keep her safe. There is a difference.” He clenched his jaw

Chapter 114:

SOFIA'S POV I woke up to the sound of someone opening the door. The heavy metal door made a creaking sound, announcing the arrival of someone. My body tensed instinctively, my heart was racing very fast. The room was dimly lit with the sunlight filtering through the window. I turned to see Emily stepping into the room. Her gaze met mine and she gave me a small smile. I could see hesitation in her movements as she approached me. “Good morning.” She said softly. She closed the door behind her. I mumbled a response. I was still drowsy, and I still wasn't sure if I could trust her, even though she seemed different from the rest of them, and she made an effort to try to talk to me. She didn't seem cold like Dominic, there was a warmth to her. She could not hide that she was not born into this world. It made me curious to know more about her. Where did she come from? How did she end up here? “I brought you some fresh clothes. I thought you would like to come out of that dress. It looks

Chapter 115

SOFIA'S POV As soon as Dominic left, the tension in the room decreased, but it still lingered. My heart was still racing from his presence. The way he had looked at me like he was trying to find out what was going on in my head. I'd heard my father and Dino talk about him and how he was one of the most feared Capos in the world, seeing him made me understand why. Dominic was cold when I looked into his eyes; they looked hollow and void of emotion—except when he looked at Emily. Emily exhaled, massaging her forehead in a bid to calm down. “I am sorry about that.” She said softly. I looked at her with suspicion. “Are you really sorry? Are you really trying to help me or are you just trying to make things easier for Dominic? You may disapprove of his methods, but you're still working with him.” “I don't think you understand. Dominic is not always like this… he's a very complicated man.” She tried to explain. “Yeah, right. Let me guess, he's actually a really sweet guy and he's misun

Chapter 116: Trouble

EMILY’S POVMy breath hitched as Dominic inched closer to me, closing the distance between us. His movements were slow and deliberate, showing that he was in control of the situation—of everything. His presence was domineering; they radiated with the power that he exhumed, which both intrigued me and made me feel nervous. I held my ground, refusing to see how much he affected me. I didn't want him to know that my heart was beating wildly in my chest—whether from excitement or from fear, I could not tell. “And how do you intend on making me pay?” I said, making sure my voice did not shake. “Oh, Emily.” He whispered as he traced my jawline with his finger, then he cupped my chin and pulled my face close to him. “I think you already know the answer to that.” His hands went down to my neck and he wrapped his fingers around my neck and pulled me closer to him. He pressed a kiss to my lips, it was not a passionate kiss, it was a punishing kiss. He used his tongue to get back at me for d

Chapter 117: 'Love'

EMILY’S POVDominic's words made me stop. I looked at him and he looked just as shocked as I was by his words. I could not have ever expected those words to leave Dominic's mouth. Love was not something men like Dominic gave freely. They dominated, they controlled—but they did not love. “You think you love me?” It was more of a question to myself than it was to him. I wanted to scoff and tell him that he was lying. That he was only saying it because of the heat of the moment. I wanted to tell him that he would take it back before the day was over. He grabbed a hold of my waist and pulled me close to him, so close that I could feel his hot breath on my face. “That's the only explanation that makes sense.” He said, a serious expression on his face as he looked me deeply into my eyes. “Explanation to w…what?” I stuttered, trying to control my voice. “To why I feel this way… to why I feel like I need you and I can't breathe without you. Why I want to protect you and never let you go.

Chapter 118:

DOMINIC'S POV As though he could listen to my thoughts, my phone began to vibrate again. I didn't even have to look at the phone to know that it was Dino who was calling me. I declined the call and switched off. These days, the only person I hoped to call me was the mystery caller. The fact that I still did not know who it was from, was driving me crazy. A knock sounded on my door, disrupting my thoughts. “Come in,” I said. Barry walked into my office, looking calm and in control as always. I missed the days when I was just as stoic as Barry before Emily came and flipped my world upside down. “What is it?” I demanded. I wanted to be alone and his presence was not welcomed. Unfazed, Barry said, “Dino has been spotted near the warehouse in Italy. He's getting really desperate.” “Let him wait. I like how restless he is.” I said. “He will soon break and when that happens, he will give me whatever I want.” “And what about Sofia? How long do you plan on keeping her here?” He asked. “

Chapter 119: Roadblock

EMILY’S POV I walked into Sofia's room to find her with a book in her hand. She looked up from the pages when I walked in. It was odd watching her sit in my clothes when we were the direct opposite of each other. My clothes were a little too small on her because she was taller than me, but she still made it work. I did not think that a woman like Sofia could ever look bad in anything. “Hey,” I told her softly. She set the book aside. “Hello.” “How'd you get the book?” I asked her curiously. “I asked the maid that brings me food if she can get me one. I assumed that there would be no problem with it; I am a guest, after all.” I heard the sarcasm dripping heavily from her voice. I sighed. I understood that it was hard for her to trust me or anybody in the house, but I hated how she treated me like the enemy when all I was trying to do was help her. She did not know the plans that Dominic had in store for her. The more she resisted my help, the more she gave reason for Dominic to r

Chapter 120: Naive

DINO'S POV “We've searched all of Italy for him. He is not in this country, and nobody seems to know where he is.” Max, my cousin told me. It had been over a week since Sofia had been kidnapped by that bastard, and I could not find him anywhere. I hated the fact that he always seemed to be one step ahead of me. Dominic Moreno was a virus, the kind that had no cure and you could never get rid of him. When my father was alive, he had an obsession with overthrowing Dominic and taking over his empire, but he was not able to. He made me promise that if anything ever happened to him, I would take care of Dominic by myself. The more I went into this, the more it looked like I could never take the asshole down, but I would not give up; this was a fight to the death. “Where could he be? Sofi is in danger and we need to find a way to rescue her. This is my mess, she has nothing to do with this.” “We can keep looking, but I cannot promise that we will find anything. Sofia is a strong gi
