Exposed to the CEO Behind the Mafia Mask (by Silver Spoon) novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306: Chapter 90 Hospital Revelation

Gemma’s POV

With trembling fingers, I scrolled through my contacts until Dominic’s name appeared on the screen. Drawing in a shaky breath, I pressed call, only to be instantly redirected to voicemail. My heart plummeted. I glanced at Zander, who offered a sympathetic grimace.

"Food’s here. I’ll handle the delivery while you get yourself together," Zander declared with unwavering resolve. "You can eat while getting dressed, then I’ll drive you to the Capo’s place." His confidence far exceeded my own.

"What if he’s conducting family business with someone?" I whispered, my stomach churning with dread and possessiveness.

Zander scoffed. "Then you walk straight in, dismiss whoever it is, and reclaim your territory. Trust me, he’ll respect the boldness." Despite everything, his blunt reasoning made me laugh.

True to his promise, Zander managed the food while I rushed to make myself presentable. Between bites of perfectly prepared Italian cuisine, I applied makeup and selected an outfit that balanced professionalism with subtle allure. Clutching my purse with white knuckles, we set out into the night.

When we arrived at Dominic’s heavily fortified estate, I asked Zander to remain in the vehicle in case the situation deteriorated. The armed security guard’s response hit me like a physical blow: the Capo hadn’t been at the compound for quite some time. My thoughts spiraled. Perhaps his downtown penthouse?

Zander navigated through the city to Dominic’s high-rise sanctuary. The building’s concierge delivered identical news – Dominic hadn’t been seen at the penthouse for quite some time either. Where had he vanished to? Zoe would have answers.

I dialed her secure line, anxiety mounting with each electronic tone.

"Well, well. Look who finally remembered I exist," Zoe’s sardonic voice crackled through the encrypted connection.

"I’m not that neglectful," I countered with a weak smile.

"No? Miss Vanishing Act has the nerve to claim she’s not ungrateful?" she needled.

"You know I care about all of you," I replied, though she couldn’t witness my pout.

"I know, beautiful. What’s the emergency?" Her tone shifted to concern.

"I’m in serious trouble, Zoe. Do you know Dominic’s current location?" I asked desperately.

"Finally!" Zoe exclaimed as though she’d been anticipating this conversation for ages. "Have you checked the compound?"

"Both the estate and the penthouse. According to security, he hasn’t been at either location for quite some time."

"I heard whispers, but I don’t have specifics on his whereabouts. Have you tried his encrypted line?" Zoe inquired.

"That was my first attempt. It’s completely dead."

"Christ, don’t tell me Frost lost another secure phone," she groaned.

"Another one?" I questioned.

"Yeah, a while back, before that business trip, he misplaced his device. Still hunting for the damn thing," Zoe chuckled grimly. "Gemma, it’s late. He might be at Bee’s safe house or Nadia’s place. Why don’t you come to my apartment? We can strategize, you can crash here, and tomorrow we’ll locate your Capo."

"I don’t know if he’s still mine, Zoe," I sighed heavily. "I squandered so much time."

"Yeah, you did. No sugarcoating that truth. But come over regardless."

"Thanks, but Zander will escort me home. Just contact me if you hear from Dominic tomorrow?"

The following day, I forced myself through my morning routine and arrived at the legitimate front office, compulsively checking my phone for updates from Zoe. Hours passed in silence, the lack of communication becoming increasingly ominous. Mid-afternoon, my concentration shattered when an unexpected visitor appeared – my mother. She had never before visited my workplace, making her sudden appearance deeply unsettling. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
