At exactly five am, the elevator doors dinged open, and Dominic stepped inside. Ethan smirked as he looked at him, and Dominic knew that he hadn’t said a word, yet. In the basement parking lot they climbed into the SUV, and Cooper sped off through the quiet streets.“Anything to report?” Dominic asked the four quiet men in the SUV with him.Cooper grinned and shook his head. He was the nicest of the four, the nicest manners, courteous, and respectful to others. He didn’t drink or smoke, didn’t go to strip clubs, and he never helped himself to the hookers they had on payroll either.Austin was less reserved. He knew what he wanted, and took it when he wanted it. He liked women, and a lot of them. He drank on occasion, but usually only when they were at the house with no plans to leave. He was a reader, and spent a lot of his time outdoors.Ethan liked to be in the shadows. He never really left Dominic alone, he was always somewhere nearby, and it had proved valuable over the years. He

The four men were led into the small meeting room adjacent to Dominic’s study. His men took up their positions as did his brothers. Dominic had given them each a slice of the proverbial pie, and they had their own responsibilities under his watchful eye.Casio Robustelli reported directly to Gage, and he had a hand in the gun trade. Their guns were bought from the Russians, and distributed for personal use in their territories.Giovanni Manso reported to Eris, and they kept a firm eye on their strip clubs. Eris was good with the women, and washing their money was second nature to him.Santino Conti reported to Faro, and he was a genius when it came to their gambling rings. He never misplaced a cent, and handling money was what he was good at.Dominic watched Elmo Larussa, and the many escort clubs they owned. Prostitution was easy money, and Michael De Santis, an Elder, also owned a few escort clubs. At first the Elders voted against Dominic’s escort club but he soon showed them that

Isadora was a breath of fresh air in Dominic’s life. Within a month, he slept at his penthouse every night, curled up against her. Talks of finding her own apartment had dwindled, and Dominic had only gone to his country estate for his twice-a-month meetings.The more time he spent with her, the more he liked her. Most nights she cooked dinner for him and his men, and afterwards they’d watch a movie or talk about their lives. She’d talk about work, and more than once she’d refused his offer of a better job in one of his own companies.Dominic had left Giovanni with the girls in the warehouse to question them before he made his move, but they’d been there for two weeks with no results. He wasn’t the type of man to condone the torture of women, but he was getting tired of not having answers.Ethan parked the large SUV inside the warehouse, and Dominic stepped out, not waiting for the men to flank him. They were indoors but he knew Hudson would have something to say, he always did.“Can

Isadora smiled as she read the text on her phone from Dominic. Her life felt like a fairytale. Every morning Dominic woke her with coffee in bed. They’d take a shower together, and get ready for work.Ethan always had breakfast ready when they emerged hand in hand. Her driver, Remy, would take her to work, and pick her up again in the afternoon. She’d started paying off a lot of her parents’ debts since she had no living costs.“What are you smiling about?” Susanna asked her.Susanna was the first one to befriend Isadora at work, and they always took their lunch together, and ate whatever they bought in the park across the street from where they worked. She liked Susanna, and so far she’d only told her that she’d met someone.“Can’t I smile?”“Nuh uh, that smile says someone’s getting laid tonight,” Susanna said.Isadora burst out laughing, and shook her head. “I get laid every night.”“Oh my word, Isa! Spill it, girl!”Isadora sighed, but she couldn’t wipe the smile from her face. “T

Dominic was running late and had sent another text to Isadora to let her know that he would meet her at the event. Remy would time it perfectly and he would arrive at the same time as her. He’d seen the charge from the boutique on his credit card and he felt slightly better knowing she’d fit in.“Ten minutes, Dominic,” Cooper said as he sped down the street.“Who was supposed to remind me about this charity thing?” Dominic asked.“I did remind you,” Austin said.“Half an hour before the fucking thing starts,” Dominic bit back.“At least it’s not like the last time, where you had to tell people that you cut yourself shaving to explain the blood on your collar,” Hudson said.Dominic snorted. “What’s this one for?”“Orphans,” Ethan said and produced a glossy piece of paper from his jacket.Dominic looked at the page and read through it quickly. It was a $500 a plate function where they’d give speeches and people would donate money. He had nothing against orphans and he donated regularly

Isadora woke up to an empty bed, and she swallowed her emotions away. She’d never felt so cheap in her life before. His words had hurt her, and she couldn’t believe she’d let him call her a whore for a second time.Was she Dominic’s whore? She supposed she was. He paid for everything, she lived in his penthouse, used his car and credit card, and in return she let him fuck her whenever and however he wanted.She ran to the bathroom, and made it just in time as she vomited up bile. She dry heaved a few times, and realized that someone was holding her hair back. She lowered her head to the toilet, and took a few deep breaths.“Are you feeling sick?” Dominic asked her.She shook her head, and stood up on shaky legs. She rinsed her mouth a few times, and pulled the lever of the toilet to flush her vomit away. She looked up, and saw the concern in Dominic’s eyes.“I’m not sick,” she whispered.Dominic placed his hand on her forehead, and frowned slightly as he looked at her. “Well, you’re n

Dominic stripped off his suit in the bathroom and let the shower wash the blood from his face. He’d have to burn his shirt, nothing would get the blood from that shirt. He sighed as the steam rose and he pushed his hair back.It was getting too long and he needed a haircut. It could wait like many other things had to wait. He’d avoided Conrad too and he knew that soon his car would pull up and he’d be forced to climb inside and listen to Conrad berate him.They’d never had a loving relationship, rather Conrad was a general and Dominic his soldier, always learning and never being good enough. He was tired and more than once he’d thought about just killing the old man.Gage would approve. Faro and Eris would too but Hunter and even more so, Inara would be heartbroken. He wouldn’t be able to look at his sister and know that he was the cause of her pain. Conrad was a good father to his sisters.**Dominic sat on the wooden chair, his back ramrod straight. Slouching was never acceptable. Th

Dominic looked at the black limousine as it pulled to a stop near the curb. The rear door opened, and he sighed. He gave his men a nod, and climbed into the car. Smoke from his Cuban cigar curled around his face but Dominic remained stoic.The limo pulled away from the curb, and blended into the traffic. “You’ve been avoiding me, Dominic.”“I’ve been busy.”Conrad chuckled low in his throat. “I’m aware of just how fucking busy you’ve been.”Silence ensued, and Dominic knew better than to say anything else. The limo drove towards the warehouses, and Dominic’s heart sank. He was being taken to the warehouse so Conrad could execute his punishment.Conrad Vittori was a fucking bastard, and Dominic glared at him through the haze of smoke. He hated the man with every fiber of his being. The large doors slid open, and the limo drove inside the warehouse.The doors were opened, and Dominic climbed out and smoothed the cuffs of his jacket. He turned to glare at Conrad, and he looked back to wh
