Caught In The Middle

Chapter 26

"Hey" Dominic said walking into the living room.

"What happened?" I asked jumping up off the couch.

"Don't worry we didn't kill your little boyfriend if that's what your worried about" Dominic said to me.

"Okay? So what happened? Did he show up there?" I asked generally concerned.

"Yeah" Dominic replied.

"And?" I asked annoyed.

"He's not dead" Dominic said to me.

"Dominic!" I yelled at him feeling irritated.

"They showed up just as we were already leaving" Dominic said to me. "Thanks to your heads up we were able to get our stuff and get out".

"Okay" I sighed relief.

"And by the way, I got you a gift" Dominic said to me.

"Really?" I raised a brow at him.

"Yeah here" Dominic said handing me one of the briefcases I hadn't even noticed he had with him before because I was so anxious to know what happened.

I took the briefcase from him already knowing what was inside because I've received 'gifts' like this before. I opened the case revealing two nice 9 millimetre pistols, ammunitions and a silencer.

"Nice" I smiled admiring the pistols. "Thanks, these came in today?"

"Yeah. And you know you're making my job a whole lot difficult now" Dominic said to me.

"What!?" I said in disbelief. "What the hell did I do?".

"You're dating that bastard, that's trying to sabotage all my deals and I can't get rid if him like I'd like to because of you" Dominic said to me. "You're in love with him. Like seriously? His the hell does that even work?"

"How the hell does what work?" I asked.

"You sleeping with the enemy" Dominic said to me.

"He's not the enemy Dominic" I said to him.

"He's not? Are you forgetting that he has the Luciano's listed as his enemies? You even said you say our name and Dad's picture in a file. What do you think that file meant Lexi?" Dominic said to me. "You're a Luciano Lexi that makes you his enemy even if he doesn't know it yet. Are do we need to start questioning where your loyalty lies? I mean you are in love with him".

"What!? Dominic you're talking shit, you already knows my loyalty runs with family and just because I'm with Gio doesn't mean I'm going to sell out my family" I said to him. "You know you can't hold this against me anyway, this is also your fault".

"How is this my fault? Did I made you went ahead and catch feelings for him?" Dominic asked.

"No you're the one who asked me to investigate him. That's how I got close to him in the first place, you think I planned this? I'm stuck in the middle here" I said to him.

"Lexi, I told you from the start that he was potentially involved in another mafia group. It wasn't like this was the first time you investigate someone like that" Dominic replied.

"No, but this time it turns out different. I got involved and emotionally attached this time" I said to him. "Something I haven't done in years, something I had sworn not to let happened again after Raphael".

"Lexi, I don't blame you. Its making things difficult for me right now but I don't blame you" Dominic said to me.

"You don't?" I asked surprised.
