Renee made his way into the hospital ward. As soon as he entered the room, he realized that Dominick was asleep. Dominick had his head resting on the bed while he was asleep. Renee wanted to return back and not wake him up. He felt pity for his boss, he had been trying so hard to make sure that Leila gets well. He barely ate anything for the past two days while he stayed at the hospital. And he only changed his clothes once. As Renee made his way out, he heard Dominick call his name. Renee was shocked that he wasn't asleep. It was around eight in the evening and Dominick wasn't asleep. He had been awake all day. Renee was beginning to worry about his health. "What's going on? Any news on Romeo?" Dominick asked him but Renee was skeptical about telling him that Romeo escaped the attack they made on him two days ago.

The door to the huge bedroom pushed open and Dominick entered, he was dressed In a simple polo top and jeans, he was also holding a huge food tray in his hands. He had yet again, prepared breakfast for Leila. Even though he knew that she wasn't awake and might not eat the meal, he still decided to cook it. Dominick made the meal himself. During the past few weeks, he decided that any meal to be fed to Leila when she wakes up would be made by him. He continued to put in efforts into learning new recipes and cooking new food for her just in case she wakes up soon. Dominick moved towards her and he took his seat. "Leila, you have to recover quickly," he said. Dominick took her hand, it was cold and stiff."I miss you" Dominick didn't know when the words slipped from his tongue but deep down, he knew that he

Dominick made sure to rent him a comfortable in the city and he took care of the doctor's expenditures. Dominick trusted and allowed doctor Liam to cater for Leila because he was duly professional in the field. Dominick really hoped that he could help Leila to wake up soon. "How is she responding to the treatment, doctor?" He asked him, carefully surveying the doctor's job with his eyes. Doctor Liam Hills carefully withdrew the acupuncture needles from her delicate skin so it won't hurt her. Doctor Liam knew that Dominick wouldn't have approved of the acupuncture, if Only it didn't see Leila react to it that day. He finished his job and then turned to Dominick.

" It's been so many years, Dominick. Ten? Fifteen? How long do you think that you can hide from me, son?" He asked him but Dominick was obstinate to answer him. He was still angry and tried hard to control himself from saying anything that would trigger Dante Castillo. The man was heartless and might just kill Leila if he wasn't satisfied by his answers. "I can see how important this little girl is to you, Dominick. You see, that's why I told you love is forbidden in the realm of a Mafia. It weakens you, it serves as a weak point for an enemy to attack you. Don't you remember everything? The memories are still so fresh in my mind how my wife was killed so cruelly. I told you that story, didn't I? She was my weakness. The enemies used her to get close to me, they used her and I had no choice but to kill her that night. I strangled that bitch and I shot her afterwards. I killed my weakness and the enemies cannot get through to me anymore" he narrated to Dominick. The man laughed out hy
Indistinct sounds of sirens making loud noises in the area made Dominick to wake up, and when he did, he realized that he was being pushed on a Wheeled stretcher into the hospital.

Inside the dark prison cell, Dominick sat facing the greasy dirty walls. His hands were chained in handcuffs, his face was dark and his hair messy. According to the orders from his foster father, he should be treated by a common criminal. The policemen did exactly that by torturing him for a while before locking him up. Dominick was still furious about the whole situation. He wished that he could leave jail any moment and go find Mr. Castillo and kill him. The man always gets away with everything he does to him but not this time, Dominick was going to get his revenge and he'll surely kill the man for underrating him. Dominick stated to him handcuffed wrists in disappointment. How did he allow himself to end up this way? Was what Dante said really true? That a woman will only cause a distraction to him and become his weakness? Hell no! He shouldn't be letting all of that get to him. He shouldn't allow himself to become as heartless as the man. Soon, a policeman banged his fist on the
Dominick was soon on an airplane on his way to Las Vegas. Knowing that it was his only way to leave prison freely. Dominick knew that Dante had plans and he might even die in the process but he had to go anyway. Dominick thought of a way to contact Renee, he knew that he had to tell Renee about his movements and to send him back up. Dominick didn't trust even Mr. Dante. He knew what he was going to pass through and he also knew that it wouldn't be an easy task escaping from Dante if he planned to do that with Leila.When they arrived in Las Vegas, Dominick was escorted by so many bodyguards into a huge villa. No one had to tell him that the villa belonged to Mr. Dante. He walked inside the mansion with numerous guards accompanying him. The huge hallway was filled with the noise of footsteps reverberating in it. Their movements echoed in the place, when they finally got to the front of the huge mahogany double doors, Dominick knew that he was about to face his worst nightmare. The look
Dominick entered the room after the door was opened by two bodyguards who guarded the place from outside. As soon as he entered, the door was closed. Dominick saw some men sitting around a table. Amongst them— was Dante. He was busy smoking his cigarette while he played the game with his business partners. The man was so busy, but when Dominick entered– he noticed. "Alas. He is finally here" he said out cheerfully, pointing towards Dominick's direction. "Come over here boy" he demanded and Dominick went towards the table to meet him. At this juncture, he had to obey all what the man wanted if indeed ,he wanted to get Leila back. Dominick knew that he just had to obey Dante's orders."Sit" the man demanded and he did. Dominick looked around the other three men who were in the room with him. They looked a bit older than Dante. Except the one who was sitting next to him. He was a bit younger and was more like his age range. Dominick greeted them briefly and his eyes went to the game o
