Chapter 107 Aiyana's Ruse

• Dom held the door for his Mumma and her best friend, Melissa to alight from the large bulletproof sedan which had stopped before the modest brownstone. The Don’s men had leapt out, their arms on the ready, surveying the place before signalling to the young Delano scion that it was safe for the ladies to step out of the vehicle.
• To a layman, it would seem that they were taking over the top measures, but Dom knew how close his family, in particular, his Mumma had come to danger and he stood, alert and watchful as he ushered them to the front door of Iyana’s house.
• Aiayana Laughing Water opened the door, her black hair cut short and falling around her shoulders in a crisp hairdo that suited her. Proserpina beamed and walked to her, her arms wide open as she hugged Aiyana effusively. The woman looked like someone had handed her a bitter pill, thought Melissa drily as she brought up the rear, with Dom behind her, carefully keeping an eye on the surroundings. Dom had been asked to accompany his mother and Melissa and he had immediately done so. Any order of Piers required unquestioning obedience.
