Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) : Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

EMILY’S POVI had just slipped into bed, prepared to go to sleep when Dominic walked into the room. I had not seen him in over three hours since we had spoken in the living room and I was relieved. I was tired of fighting with him and his domineering attitude made me feel like I was suffocating. I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep so I would not have to communicate with him. I knew I had feelings for him, but he also made me angry with his controlling behaviour and I felt like the easiest way to avoid that was by avoiding him. I hated feeling like I was being restricted. I did not like feeling like I was not useful and that was exactly how he made me feel. I understood that he was only trying to protect me, but it was costing me my sanity. Thinking about it made me so mad and my eyes began to sting with angry tears. I was grateful that the room was dark and Dominic did not put it on, although I could hear him moving around. Probably stripping out of his clothes and going to

EMILY’S POVOur breaths were heavy as our lips tangled in a heated and sensual kiss. I sat on his desk with my legs wrapped around his waist. We were so close that I could feel his erection pressed against my core through our clothes. His hands roamed my body as though he was trying to commit each curve and pattern to his memory. Things were not supposed to happen this way. I had come to his office to discuss work-related issues. I knew that we needed a plan and it was important that we started to strategize right away, but during our conversation, Dominic had captured my lips in a kiss. I tried to resist him, but I was learning that was not possible with Dominic Moreno. He didn’t ask, he demanded and he took. Call me crazy, but I liked it only in situations like this. I allowed him to own and dominate me. “Turn around and place your hands on the desk. I want that pretty ass facing me.” He ordered. I hopped off his desk and went in the position that he wanted me to be in. I was wear

EMILY’S POVI stormed out of Dominic’s office, feeling like I could not breathe from the anger that was burning in my chest. I had always known that Dominic was a dangerous and cruel man, but coming face to face with his cold heart had affected me more than I wanted to admit. How could he want to kidnap an innocent woman for the sake of revenge? I knew that the Mafia was interconnected and you could not escape it no matter how much you weren’t involved, but using an innocent woman as leverage was not something that I wanted to play a part in. I needed some space and some air. As I stumbled outside, I felt a hand grab my wrist from behind and I turned around to come face to face with Barry. He and I had not had any close encounters since I arrived from America to the estate in Italy. He still hated me, and I wanted to avoid trouble so I stayed away from him. “What do you want, Barry?” I demanded. He let go of my wrist and I moved away from him, putting as much distance between us as

DOMINIC’S POVI knew what I was doing. I was putting all my cards on the table, but I also knew that Emily would not disagree. How did I know that? Because I knew her more than she knew herself. She was not going to compromise Sofia’s safety. She had a heart and she had a conscience.I wanted to marry her because I wanted full access to her, I did not want to give her a chance to run from me. I wanted her to stop fighting against what we had. I was deep in thought when Barry walked into my office. “I just got intel that Sofia will be returning to Italy to visit her brother.” My lips curled into a smile. She had just made my work that much easier for me. I had men in Italy that I could trust to help me carry out the operation.“How long will she be there?” I asked. “I am not sure, but it should not be less than two weeks. He said. I nodded my head. Two weeks was more than enough time to do everything that I needed to do. “I will be leaving for Italy after the first week that she i

DOMINIC'S POV I stared at my phone, gripping it so tight in my hand that I could feel it starting to break. The line had gone dead but the gravity of the threat still hung heavily in the room. I've had many threats before, especially in my line of work. It was inevitable that I had many enemies, but something about this threat felt personal. It was not just about Adam. He was just an excuse; it was something more than that, and I was going to get to the bottom of it. I exhaled and tried to get my thoughts back in order. My mind travelled back to my conversation with Emily. She thought I only wanted to marry her because I wanted to own her and have control over her, but she was wrong. I wanted to keep her safe. She and Anita and now even Daniella were under my protection. I could not let anything happen to them. I dialled some buttons on my office phone and brought the receiver to my ear. “Lorenzo, I need you here right this minute!” Within a few minutes, he walked into the office.
