Alpha Dominic
Chapter 98

Dominic's

POV

I know she is right, this may turn out to be a huge mistake but on the other hand, it could be the breakthrough that I have been praying for, I mean, it could be everything. All I have to do is to get her to make that delivery, I need her to lure those bastards out of their hiding place. They know I'm on their case, they know I am not going to stop until I get them out of here, that is why they have all gone dark and they canceled all their ongoing operations. I want to evacuate the Alphas from that building and move them all down here, I'll feel better if I can have my eyes on everyone, especially that sneaky bastard, Robert. It's obvious that King Ashford now has control of that building, it's either I act fast, or I stand a chance of losing everything I've worked so hard to accomplish. Very soon, King Ashford will start to eliminate all the other Alphas that have refused to fall in line and that includes Harriet's father and that would be so disastrous to me because everyone would think that I gathered all the Alphas together to kill them all. They would blame me for their deaths and I may lose the trust of everyone and the people I'm fighting so hard to save will turn around and hate me. The best thing is to get them all here and protect them and there is absolutely no way I could bring them here when the same moles are still giving me serious issues in this Castle. It's either now or never, I have to take this risk now, I have to act fast to put an end to all this. Bethany is only thinking about the risk, she has to know that this is a perfect opportunity to get ahead of King Ashford, this may be the only chance that I have to catch one of the moles, when I finally have one of them in my custody, I can t*****e the truth out of him and force him to expose the other moles. Besides, she would also benefit from it if I finally get rid of the moles and bring the Alphas here, it would give Bethany the opportunity to spend more time with her mom and her sisters.

If only she can see that this is going to be a huge victory for me, all she sees are the risk, she claims that I am using her as bait, but that's not true, I can never put her life at risk, I'm personally handling this mission, I won't let her get hurt, and that is what I'm trying to tell her. We had a huge fight about this issue as I tried to convince her that I have everything under control, but she just refused to listen to me. She even refused to pick up her friend's call all night. She noticed my interest in that phone call and she thought she could use it as leverage to get me to change my mind but I can't let this opportunity to pass me by, I have to move on with this plan, whether she likes it or not. I wanted to pick up Graciela's call, but she wouldn't let me. She kept taunting and threatening me until the phone stopped ringing.

"See what you've made me do." She cried out in anger when her phone stopped ringing. Why is she blaming me for something she did, she had ignored the phone when it was ringing, and now she is blaming me for it? Gosh, it's so frustrating when she acts like a b***h, especially when she does it on purpose.

"Call her back Beth, I need to speak with her, you have to call her right now." I told her desperately, but she only smirked at my desperation, looking at me mischievously. I don't know why she is not bothered about her best friend, I thought she was bluffing when she said she wouldn't take that call until I come up with a better plan. Surprisingly she carried out her threats, she did not take that call and right now she doesn't even look like she is ready to return her friend's call anytime soon, she has that mischievous look on her face that indicates that she has something up her sleeves.

"You know, I did notice your attitude towards Ella, I've always wanted to ask you this, but I keep holding back, believing that you would tell me about it when you are ready, but now I know that its never going to happen that way, you would never tell me if I don't ask. So I'm going to stop beating around the bush and skip right to it. Why are you interested in Graciela, Dom? Why are you helping her, why did you send your boys to protect her, and why are you so desperate to speak with her, what is really going on here?" she asked me curiously, tipping her head to the side to gaze fixedly at me.

"Why are you acting like I did something wrong, I was only trying to help her. I saw a lady in need and I went ahead to help her, why is that so difficult for you to understand?" I asked defensively.

"Don't give me that f*****g bullshit Dom. I know you, Dominic Rayleigh, you are not a humanitarian and you certainly don't do anything for charity. You always have a plan, so tell me right now because I'm going to call her in a few minutes and if I replace out that you have been lying to me, I would never forgive you." She warned me firmly, making me sigh repeatedly as I walk up to her and pulled her into my arms, and made her lean on my shoulder. There is no need to keep this from her anymore, sooner or later, she would definitely replace out about it, so I decided to tell her the truth, I guess it would be way better if she hears it from me.

"She owed a very dangerous drug lord named Lucas Durego. There was no way I could help her, that is why I sent her to someone that has the power to help her. I sent her to the Mafia Lord, Marco Lorenzo. She had an affair with him once so I'm hoping that he would not turn her down because she is the first woman he has been with in a very long time. I asked my boys to go with her and keep her safe so she doesn't get killed by Lucas before she contacts Lorenzo. That is just what I did, I only wanted to help her." "That is not what I want to hear, Dom. I want you to tell me what you have to gain from all this, what's in this for you." She asked again, stressing her point. I smiled at her cleverness, I love the fact that she never gives up on what she wants. She is getting smarter every day and I f*****g love it.

"Fine, you got me. I did it for myself as well. I need Lorenzo to be on my side in this war, he controls the underworld, and he has the power and resources to get rid of the drug lords that are helping King Ashford. I need a strong alliance with someone like him, that is the only way I would defeat king Ashford because he has already formed an alliance with a bunch of greedy drug lords. I have been trying to get him to meet with me, but he has refused ee me or even take my calls. I know that if he accepts your friend back into his life, then she would help me to convince him to listen to me. She is my ticket into Lorenzo's house, I placed her there to aid my mission and it is working exactly as I expected, she is already in, all that is left is for her to arrange a meeting between us, that is all I want. or maybe you could help me fix that meeting, you can tell her you want to come over, or may you could...

"Are you f*****g kidding me right now, Dominic, are you f*****g kidding me? Why the hell would you put her life in danger like that, what if something had gone wrong, what if the so-called Mafia Lord turns out to be a f*****g a*****e, what if he hurts her, Dominic, what if he f*****g despises her? You have no regard for any one of us, do you? You think we are all dispensable, that is why you send us into these dangerous places, putting our lives in danger. How could you Dom, how could you?" she yelled at me furiously, hitting me with her palms before she stormed out of the room in anger, giving me no chance to explain myself.

Women are so unpredictable, I kid you not. First, she had insisted on replaceing out the truth, and now that I granted her request and told her the truth, she suddenly took offense and left the room I guess it's true when they said you can never do anything to please a woman. I would have gone after her but I noticed the phone in her hand and I realized that she was going to return her friend's call, so I let her go alone. I left her alone so she can have a private moment with her friend. Even at that, I still whispered a silent apology through our mind link, expressing my heartfelt apology and concern to her.

I waited for her in our bedroom, I waited and waited for her to come back to me, but she didn't show up for almost two hours and I got worried about her so I went out to search for her. I was so surprised when I saw her sitting on the bed in my guesthouse crying her eyes out. I moved to her side in the flash of an eye and I held her at arm's length, trying to check all over her body for any sign of an attack. When I couldn't replace any marks, I pulled her into my arms, holding her against my chest, and rubbing circles on her back. "I told you didn't I, I told you not to get her in trouble, now she is a prisoner in that lunatic's house and she has just lost her mom also. How the hell am I supposed to tell her sisters about this, how do I save her, Dom, how?" she asked me furiously as she sobbed in my arms. I don't know if I should be happy or sad right now, I mean, this news is bad, but it will give me the perfect opportunity to meet with Lorenzo.

"Is it weird that I'm still thinking this way, does it make me a monster?" I asked within me. I got my answer when she pushed me away and landed a hot slap on my cheeks, gazing furiously at me,

"I guess you'll get what you've always wanted Dom. She just invited us to her house, we'll be going over there in a few days. I hope you are happy now." He told me fiercely while glaring daggers at me. I know she is furious, but the only thing that came to my mind is "Finally, I get to meet with Marco Lorenzo." It's just so intense, so awesome, but that doesn't change anything, I'm still luring those moles out of their hiding place, I'll still have Bethany follow king Ashford's instructions, I need to get rid of these bastards before I can meet with Lorenzo. I can't let king Ashford to replace out about my alliance with Lorenzo, I want it to come as a surprise to him, he won't know what hit him because he won't be prepared for it. I pulled Bethany back into my arms, she doesn't have to know that we are still moving on with our plans, despite what just happened, I have to give her some time to heal from the pains she is feeling right now. I hope the other girls are able to control their emotions too, it is so painful to lose your mom this way. I can imagine what they would be feeling right now and I couldn't help wondering if Bethany had been right when she said it is all my fault.
