DOMINIC

“What if it’s a trap?” I doubted.

“We wouldn’t know until we go there,” Aurora said.

The moment Dante Moretti’s name popped up, we had the rat in our basement. Our men combed through every lane, alley, and corner of Chicago to capture the asshole who probably orchestrated the worst ever blow this family had ever survived.

But Dante Moretti turned out to be the biggest smug bastard I have ever seen, and I have seen my fair share. He was more of an animal than man, bragging on and on about his filthy plans for my sister, and manipulating us into killing him.

It was as if he wanted to die at our hands, having the satisfaction of the last laugh because he knew where Sammy was—and wouldn’t disclose. It drove us crazy, drove me hysterical, to the point I seek refuge with Lilliana.

“I checked with every location that Dante has been to for the past couple of years, and there was nothing about California,” I tried again, fighting to solve the riddle in my head.

  • The Monster's Nemesis   Forty Four

    LILLIANAMy heart was beating so fast within the confines of my chest I thought I would explode. I have been to the Romano Mansion countless times, but not once for an occasion as special as the one dedicated to me. Dominic and I have been through so many trials of love and hate that anything beyond the realm of our perfect little world scared me. “You are nervous,” my brother’s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. Ralph caught a last-minute emergency, which was why Marco was accompanying me to the Romano Mansion for the gracious dinner invitation. “I have every reason to be,” I reminded him. Despite the chill in Chicago’s night, I felt the shimmering beads of sweat forming on my skin. “Validation from the Romano family means that much to you?” “It doesn’t. I just don’t want to be looked down upon, you know.” I had no qualms of my unfortunate past and the fact that I paid the price of this union in blood, sweat, and heartbreak. Bu

    DOMINICHow can someone get this unlucky in love? I swear my karma was catching up with me every other day when I managed to screw up around Lilliana. I was so desperate to spend some quality time with her that I agreed to a day dedicated toshopping. But even that had backfired.“Are you really going to give me the silent treatment for something your brother did?” I finally broke the silence as Lilliana fixated her eyes on the blurring streets of Chicago as I drove us to the Fashion Outlet.“I don’t understand Aurora. I have seen her in a fighting ring, and she’s practically a beast,” Lilliana murmured, more to herself, without sparing me a glance.A corner of my mouth lifted in recognition. She was finally getting there, but n

    DOMINICLil: “I will meet you outside the gate. Give me five minutes.”The message popped on the screen as I was nearing Lilliana’s place.She was dead set on picking up a perfect dress for herself when she found out about Mia’s invitation to my place as a formal introduction into the ever-crazy Romano familia.I never understood the need to impress my family because everything works pretty much in black and white. You either liked them or not. In case you didn’t, you couldn’t do anything about it, so you move the fuck on. How difficult was it to understand the structure?Nevertheless, it was difficult to convince a woman not to shop for clothes when she has found apurpose.

  • The Monster's Nemesis   Forty Two

    LILLIANA I watched from behind the curtain as Dominic made his way out of the house. I didn’t know the depth of the conversation between my father and the man I was about to marry, but the smug smile Dominic wore on his way out told me everything I wanted to know. He did convince Ralph. In his wickedly charming way, he finally persuaded my father. A tiny smile tucked into the crease of my cheek as I thought of Dominic. The memory bloomed like a rose, as magical as the first meeting of lovers. It wasn’t a wild love, misplaced passion, or obsessive lust for flesh against flesh that brought us together. It was the unexplainable pull of hearts that bound us, like the gravitational force of the Moon against the tides in the ocean. I trotted downstairs and joined Ralph for a drink before he would retire to his bed. While we sipped on the wine Dominic brought for him, I laughed as my father grumbled how much he hated him now, even though the wine was damn good.

  • The Monster's Nemesis   Forty

    DOMINICI didn’t remember how time flew by after I had tucked her closer to my body, carefully spooned, and anchored against me. I’d never felt so peaceful in my life before today, living one heartbeat at a time. Each thrum, each beat was a reminder that Lilliana and I have endured a storm and overcame it.We must have fallen asleep because when there was a loud knock on the door, the sunlight had already retired from the room. The loud banging woke Lilliana as well as she stirred in my arms.“Clothes...Dom, I need clothes,” her voice croaked from slumber as I rolled over the other side and grabbed my discarded shirt to help her into it.Putting on my jeans, I went on to unlatch the door that opened to Marco. Not a good time, I wanted to say and shut the door to his face, but he stormed in with a scowl.Thankfully, Lilliana was well-covered and under the sheets, but I knew Marco to pick up the tell-tale signs. For crying out loud, there were discarded clothes strewn around the room, h

  • The Monster's Nemesis   Forty One

    DOMINICIt was one thing to say to Lilliana that I would convince Ralph of our marriage, a decision I had taken overnight but didn’t regret for a moment since then, but executing the plan was another thing. For fuck’s sake, he was my father’s right-hand man. I have grown up watching what he did to people who pissed him off or posed trouble for the Romanos.So, I knew what he was capable of doing.But when the door opened, and I saw Lilliana, donned in a sea-green dress and paired with sexy stilts, her hair let down and her eyes shining brighter than the stars, I found all the strength and determination to make this woman mine - officially, legally, and perpetually fucking mine.“You are here,” she said, mirroring the excitement of a toddler.Stepping inside, I hugged her, banding an arm around her waist to pull her closer and planted a kiss on her blushing ch
