Chasing His Betrayed Ex-wife

The hunt

Dominic POV

Marco , a member of the Romano family, expressed his frustration, saying, "In just a few days, the Russians have shut down five of our factories. We need to take action." His voice was laced with urgency, a stark contrast to the calm that had enveloped the room moments before.

  The dim light cast shadows on the faces of my men, each one reflecting a mix of concern and determination. I remained quiet, weighing the opinions of my men,

The situation had deteriorated rapidly, and Ivan was playing a dangerous game with me, a game I deeply despised.

  He was not just a rival; he was a master manipulator, skilled at exploiting weaknesses and sowing discords .

  The loss of our factories was not merely a financial blow; it was a direct assault on our power and influence in the region.

Each factory that fell silent represented not just lost revenue, but also a blow to our reputation and standing in the county, and I knew I needed to put an end to it.

As I glanced around the table, I could see the tension etched on the faces of my men. Some were fidgeting, others were deep in thought, but all were acutely aware of the stakes.

  The Romano family had built its empire on resilience and strength, but now, with Ivan's machinations threatening to unravel everything we had worked for, the air was thick with uncertainty.

"Vincent is right," Aiden, my right-hand man, finally spoke up, breaking the silence.

"We can't just sit back and let him dismantle our operations. We need to show him that we won't be pushed around." His words ignited a spark of agreement among the others, and I could feel the collective resolve beginning to build.

  But I knew that any action we took had to be calculated. Ivan was unpredictable, and a rash move could lead to consequences we weren't prepared to face. I leaned back in my chair, contemplating our options.

"What do you propose?" I asked, my voice steady, masking the turmoil within.

  "Let's hit him where it hurts," Vincent suggested, his eyes gleaming with a mix of anger and determination.

"We have connections in the shipping industry. We could disrupt his supply lines, make it difficult for him to operate."he suggested and the rest of the men nobbed their head.

"Where is he now, I guess he is still on our territory?"I asked as i clenched my fist. The last fight we had, he had ran away like a coward, but we had killed three of his men.

"Yes he is, our spires connection was disabled but, we are working on it and once we get his location, we would have his head"Aiden said while others nobbed their head.

I wanted him alive, only he could tell me what had happened to Eve, and who the hell Clarissa was, I wanted to believe they were the same person but at this point I knew that I maybe, knew something was off.

My cousin, Marco sat opposite me at the conference table while we debated what must be done, while I sat silently lost in thought, I couldn't get over her, neither could I stop thinking bout her.

"Don, we must do something, i myself cannot talk this humiliation anymore, most especially on a whore," Marco spat out, those words brought me out of my subconscious mind, as I rushed to his side.

The hall held it breath as I held him by the neck of his suit, not caring about it, he couldn't talk to me like that, and most especially I wouldn't sit still while he insulted Eve, she was my wife and the lady of the Romoano family, and I would never let her be disrespected like that.

"What did you just say swine.." i said the words slowing and more dangerous, i could see his eyes widen with fear but knowing him his pride wouldn't let it show it.

"The gilr, she is the reason for all these, she knew you were enemies with that goo and she went ahead to matty him, and let not forget she disappeared for a year"he said obviously challenging me in front of my me .

"This meeting is dismissed!"I called out as everyone rused out of the hall, while I tried to control my temper.

When every one was out, I turned to face vincent, his eyes widen when e acid GJ t the look on my face.

"My affairs are none of your business and that woman you speck of is my wife and the lady of the mafia, y you would watch you time and voice when talking to her" I threatened, as I gave him a dark looks

"Forfeit cousin, i I'm don't remember you being fair to her when you were together"he asdded, and without a words I landed a blow on his cheek, while caused him to bleed as he fell to the ground and spat out blood.

"Question me in front of my men again, and the will be consequences...." I tried to say but befor I could say a word the door opened and a man stepped in.

"I twine dto look at him, and realized he was the guard I had put in front of Eve, room.

"What is it,?"i snapped at him as he bowed his head with fear.

"I'm sorry Don, but we can't find Her anymore" he said and I walked toward him and held him by the cloths, as I dragged him closer to me.

"Why the fuck did you just say"I spatter at him as I glared into his eyes with anger.

"She left, we Seaver everywhere to no avail, please Don, you have to forgive me, it's my fault, I only interested to use the bathroom..." he tried to say and without a word I pulled out a gun and shot him dead.

"Aiden!"I yelled out, and just like that the door opened as Aisne walked right in.

"I have everyone searching for her everywhere, "he said and I sighed, she couldn't have gotten far.

"Good," i said, just as I turned to my cousin who stood there silently.

"The next time you pull, that string ever again, I would forget we share blood,"I threatened him and I could see his eyes widen in fear

"And clean this mess"i ordered vincent,as his eyes widen looking at the corpse of one of my men, as I stormed out the door, I knew he always wanted to humiliated me in front of my men,to show that I was being unreasonable but I would always put him in his place.

I walked into the room, i Ghal left, Eve, and as I looked around.

"Check the security footage, she mustn't have gotten far"i ordered my men as they got back to checking the security footage, I knew she hated me, but the men I posted to keep an eye on her could t do their job and now, she was missing.

"After a few minutes, the door opened and Aiden stepped in e with a laptop.

"Don, you need to see this"he said and my curiosity peaked up as I walked toward the laptop.

It was Eve, I could see her engaged in a heated argument, with Harper. I clenched my fist as I watched them, it was clear Harper was being abusive to her and I hated it. But then we followed her from the footage. She dressed up as a maid, and was able ti get away in a vehine.

"Get the car ready, and question the maid,we are going on a hunt" I yelled out, as he nodded and turned to leave.

"And when I'm back, bring me harper, it's time she leant her place"o ordered as he walked out of the room.
