Bound by Blood のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 61 - チャプター 70

The study door opened again and Eris walked inside followed by Gage. Eris paced in front of Dominic’s desk as he sat and watched him. Gage looked bored and his blue eyes stared off into the distance.“Get on with it, Eris, I have somewhere to be.” Gage placed his feet on the coffee table and Eris bristled as he looked at him.Dominic didn't have the patience or the time to deal with Eris' tantrums. His brother was beginning to royally piss him off. Dominic had a lot on his mind, many decisions to make that would affect each and every person of their family. It was never easy being the head of the family, but someone had to do it.“Don’t you think it’s odd that none of us have seen or heard from Constanza?” Eris asked.“She wasn’t at the funeral either,” Gage said and cracked his knuckles.“Exactly, I mean she loved the man, for some fucked up reason,” Eris said. Dominic's lips twitched. He wanted to smile, Constanza was the only person other than Inara and Hunter to love Conrad.“She

“I can send a car for you in the morning,” Dominic said over the phone.Inara smiled and put the cap of her pen back on. “I’m fine here and I like the quiet when everyone’s gone home for a few days.”“We miss you, Inara,” he said.“I miss you too but you just got married and you’re still in that honeymoon phase,” Inara said. She closed her eyes briefly, knowing that if Dominic asked once more, she’d relent and give in.Dominic chuckled. “What do you know about any honeymoon phase?”“Nothing, but I read and I watch television. It’s not hard to figure out what you do during the honeymoon phase,” Inara said.“Inara Rose Vittori. Any boy that dares touch you, will disappear,” Dominic said.It was Inara’s turn to laugh. Dominic only ever used her full name when he wanted to make a point or when she’d done something wrong. “Nobody’s touching me anywhere although I’ve been asked to prom.”“By whom?”“He’s just a boy in my school. His father works for the president or something,” she said.“I

Inara sat down at the table and blinked her eyes a few times. The lamp seemed to shine directly into her eyes. She gasped when the lamp was moved and illuminated his face, because she never thought he’d be involved.His dark hair was oiled back, something that had always disgusted her. His dark eyes held malice and he was the complete opposite of what she was used to. She’d never been close to him even though they shared the same blood.“I think it’s time for some truths to come to light,” he said.“And what truths are those? That you’re a traitor?”He laughed, the sound deep and at any other time it would’ve soothed her, but not now. “How am I a traitor?”“You kidnapped me!”“How can I kidnap my own daughter?” She wanted to wipe that smug smile from his face but she gritted her teeth instead. He watched her with interest, noting that his words hadn’t surprised her. “You know.”Inara didn’t even blink. “Yes.”“Well, then this conversation might go a lot easier,” he said.“Why did you

Inara ended the call and wiped the stray tear from her cheek. She looked out of the windscreen at the dormitory building in front of her. Agron Makolli now also had the code for the gate and he shifted slightly in his seat.She had just lied to her brother for the first time in her life. She wasn’t stupid enough to think nobody would get hurt because of this. Dominic would wage war for her, for any of them and now she’d placed a death sentence on the Russians.“See, that wasn’t so hard. Now you just have to remember that I’m watching everything you do on your phone,” Agron said.“Are you going to kill me now?” Inara asked him. Maybe it would be better if he killed her before the Russians found out she was the one that had pointed Dominic in their direction. She also knew Dominic’s anger could be swift and lethal.“No, zemra ime. You will come to find that life with me will not be so bad. We each have a role to play and as long as you follow the rules then no harm will come to you.”“W

Dominic sat down on the edge of the bed and placed the cup of tea on the nightstand. Rafaella looked so peaceful that he almost didn’t want to wake her. He didn’t want her to wake up alone either.He wondered how long it would be before Hudson told Gage what had happened in that car with him and Rafaella. Gage was the only one that would dare to take Dominic on. He had no doubts that Hudson would try to hurt him in a fit of rage but he wouldn’t be very successful.“Rafi,” he said softly and rubbed his hand over her arm. Her skin was warm and soft and if this meeting wasn’t crucial to their survival, Dominic would’ve said fuck it and stayed in bed with her.“What?” she asked grumpily and he smiled.“I’m sorry to wake you. I’m leaving in the next five minutes and I didn’t want you to wake up alone,” he said. “Remy will stay here with you until we return.”“Okay,” she mumbled.“About last night,” he said and watched as her eyes finally opened. “You won’t regret it.”“I hope not. I’d hate
