Dominic’s POV

Bella held onto me, sobbing into my already sweaty and smelly shirt like as though it were a lifeline. She gripped me so hard, I would have to be extra forceful if I were going to successfully get her off me. But I didn’t want to. I wanted to hold on to her as much as he wanted to do the same to me.

“Thank you,” she whimpered, her sobs finally subsidizing long enough for me to catch a breath.

“For what?” I asked her, genuinely confused about what he meant. I had put her through this heartache and she was thanking me? Women would never cease to amaze me.

“For not dying. For saving me. From death, from rape.” My fingers were laid gently on her arms but they tightened ever so slightly as she took my mind back to the bathroom where that filthy man had been about to get his way with her. I was going to make him pay. Knocking him out was only a means to getting us out of the hall. Oh no, I was not done with Mr. Thurston. But I would not let Bella know that.

    Dominic’s POVI sighed as I stepped into the kitchen where Ted had been assigned the duty of cooling the wine.“Bella knows,” I broke the not so terrible news to him.“Knows what?” He did not turn to look back at me as he filled the metal bucket with ice from the icemaker attached to Faye’s ridiculously oversized freezer. He clicked a few buttons to set the maker to work as he emptied the current tray.Just as I was about to respond, the said owner of freezer walked in holding an empty casserole.“Dinner started without us already?”Faye shook her head. She said the mothers were just greedy and had shared the appetizers she’d prepared between themselves. She had come to get more. Ted looked at me as if waiting for my answer and all it took was one discreet shake of my head to let him know I could not talk with the cousin present. He understood immediately and went back to setting the bottle of wine aright in the bucket.When Faye was gone, I told him what had happened.“Why would you

    Bella’s POVIt was about three hours later when Darla and Darlene returned to Faye’s house. I was quite surprised they had stayed out that late but when I saw their shopping bags, I immediately knew what had happened. The kitchen counter was soon flooded with the bags and I knew that Faye would have a fit if she came back and saw the barrage.“What is going on?” Audrey cried as she walked into the kitchen behind me.“The moms have struck again.” I liked that having them around did not remind me of what I had lost but instead made me appreciate what I’d been able to experience even more. Not everyone had a mom and even worse, not everyone had friends whose moms were theirs as well.“Again?” Darlene huffed. “Can’t remember the last time I ever spoiled myself this way.”“Well, what are we celebrating? Are we in business?” Of course, we knew the answer to that question already but we had to keep in line with the script and that meant we had to ask questions like this one.The twins exchan

    Dominic’s POVIn order to give them that air of importance, we hired Darla and Darlene an escort who would also double as their guard. He was to keep eyes on them at all times as well as Daniel who was the major threat. The day we’d chosen was in line with Daniel’s visit as well. You see, he had a pattern which he followed weekly and that Wednesday evening was one of such days. By now, the notice had already been put out that the bar was for sale. Of course, the waitresses had been dropping subtle hints about it. A few of them had quit already but Ted assured us that hiring them back wouldn’t be a problem.“I’m a great boss,” he said, stretching to put his arms around his girlfriend.Since he had picked up the ring at the jewelers, he had been extra touchy around her. I was not sure that she had even noticed that was what was happening. Perhaps she was enjoying it even. I’d read somewhere that the first sign of pregnancy was actually an increased libido other than the missed period of

    Dominic’s POV“A fashion boutique?!” The older twins exclaimed and all but hugged each other as their daughters announced to them the news.It had taken a while to convince Audrey to come on board with the plan especially since she was concerned for their safety. She didn’t want anything that would put her mother in harm’s way, least of all let her in on what was going on. One word of the trouble they were facing and she would have her transported to a whole other state as far from the trouble as possible. Then she would demand that Audrey cut ties with her friends here so that she was not remotely in danger.“That woman is the clear definition of dramatic.”She hadn’t been kidding either. Their reaction to the news was dramatic. I had assured Audrey that not only would they be with security at all times, they would have no direct contact with the mad man Daniel. When he went to outbid them, they would not even know. And they would not even be aware that they had been outbid.“Good, b

    Dominic’s POVWhen we returned back to Faye’s house, I gathered all the women except their mothers and told them of Daniel’s plan. The last thing I wanted was for either of them to think that we were keeping secrets. Bella got upset the last time because I didn’t throw her into the loop. This time I wanted her to be a part of it and who knew perhaps the solution to the dilemma could come from one of them.“Take your company for a drug business?” Audrey asked.“Yes,” I nodded. She sounded incredulous. Perhaps the man she had imagined Daniel to be wasn’t who he’d turned out to be. He was all kinds of shady. All kinds of messed up. There was nothing good about Daniel. Especially since he was trying to run me down and I hardly even knew the guy. His claims that we shared the same parent could be falsified for all I knew. I’d never done a DNA test to prove them. The evidence he’d presented at the time had been too clear to deny. But now was not the time to start testing theories. Daniel ha

    Dominic’s POVJohnny Lockland lived on the peak of a hill where the grass was greener and the fields larger. His house alone occupied an eighteen thousand square feet of concrete and bricks. But the security was just as tight and sophisticated. It was going to be very difficult to breach. Johnny knew he was in a dangerous line of work and had prepared for it.“How about round back?” I asked the lead security guy on the team. We were parked just between parallel lines of trees where the cameras couldn’t see round. “Any luck there?”The guy explained that there was no direct access from the back of the house to the roadside. Behind the house, the hill descended to meet a cliff below which were raging waters. We were not prepared to wade through water.“Have we gotten through to Yager?” I asked as I suited up. I had not been expecting the army that we had met at the house. It seemed like they knew to plan for something because nothing of that matter had shown up in Yager’s visuals.I str
