The Undercover Bride (Mafia Escapade) のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Emily's Pov My heart was pounding really fast as Dominic and I moved through the hallway. How did they get hold of Maria? These and many more questions bothered me, as we made a turn into his office, where Dominic would eventually sit down. Barry burst into the room barely seconds later with two men who were handcuffed. They were made to kneel down before Dominic, while I watched on. "I asked both of you to take good care of my daughter and Maria and what did you do? You left both of them to play video games." His voice was cold and calculative. "We are sorry boss, it's just that staying indoors all day long and having to watch over them bored us all out. Maria and Anita were becoming close friends and we did not think the intelligence would come for them." I heard the chair moved backwards and Dominic walked forward to meet them with his hands right in the pocket. My curiosity rose over the roof, wondering how it was even possible that the security intelligence had gotten ther

Emily's pov While soul music was playing in the background, my eyes were engrossed in the pages of a murder mystery book that I had taken from one of Dominic's collections in the library. The door suddenly opens and Dominic steps inside. His long dark trench coat and a hat to accompany it shows that he has been out doing some business. "I see you have your hands full," I said, lowering my gaze to the gun he dropped on the table. "There is someone I would most definitely like you to meet." He said, changing the music to a heavy metal genre. "And you want me to come and see this person?" I asked. "Not to come and see this person alone, I want you to have a word with him." The smile on his face made me believe there was something mischievous he was hiding away from me. He stretched out his hand and I rose from the bed, dropping the book and walking up to meet with him. As we walked through the hallway, my mind was filled with thoughts about the identity of this perso

Emily POV"You have done a great job, Emily; you should be proud of yourself for bringing that criminal to book." Mr. Foster, head of the CIA mentioned. My thoughts were on the betrayals and what Dominic could think of me. "Emily Knowles?" I looked up and realized he was attempting to send me a wrapped present. I absentmindedly took the gift away from him and he tapped my shoulders before leaving the office. Adam had woken up from his unconscious state and was wrapped in bandages. I heard his shoes click on the floor as he stepped forward to me. "And since when did you start developing feelings for a criminal?" He asked."He was nobler than you will ever be, Adam," I responded, giving him a stern look. "Oh please, cut the bullshit Emily! We both know that Dominic deserves what is coming to him. He is a Mafia lord, and the East Coast is no place for people like him.""What of people like you? Do you think I have forgotten what you did? how did you hire Maximus to kill him?" I aske

Dominic's POV After Emily left my room, I caught myself smiling. Smiling! “Che diavolo!” I muttered under my breath in Italian. “Get it together, man!”I ran a hand through my hair, pacing back and forth. She was driving me insane, and I didn’t know how to stop it. Everything she said was true. Every word. I couldn’t even pretend to deny it anymore. I tried to tell myself I was in control. But I wasn’t.The reality remains that I should have just left her that day in prison, my present moment would not exist, and maybe I would have secured more shipments to the East Coast. After I abducted her, I could barely eat, barely make conversation. My mother, Barry, and even Anita because of her and I hate to admit that I had noticed something was wrong with me.Every time I saw Emily, the control I prided myself on slipped. My carefully built walls cracked whenever she was near, and it was frustrating.I didn’t want to feel this way about her, but it was like she had found a way into my

Emily's povThe moon shines through the entire East Coast, and as I sit on the balcony of my apartment, I can see the activities of this beautiful place. At some point, my mind was bugged with the reality of what I had done and the threats from Barry. It is so ironic that despite how I had betrayed him, he still informed his men never to come for me. In my life, I had struck a deal with him and I will make sure that he is out of there sooner than expected.Suddenly the sound of plates crashing on the floor filled my ears and broke me away from my thoughts. I stopped the gentle music playing and curiosity hit me. What could have possibly caused that to happen? I wondered as I walked through the hallway and finally arrived at the kitchen. There was no one on sight and it made the whole scenario look even more suspicious. I reached out to my pocket to grab my phone, when it was snatched away from me."What the hell...." I expressed, as the intruder also shoved me to the ground. "Who
