Shadow Heiress Chapter 20 - Inkling
"Get them in" Vito Instructed, implying to Pierre and Thomas, Hugo’s cousin and friend who were tied and blindfolded.We were on our way to the warehouse where I had been kept captive some time ago, we were to meet with Mr Corentin and Hugo, and some other of their men to discuss the rising issues at hand and also get information about Lucas’ demise. Knowing Vito, he probably wouldn't accept anything less than having Hugo in his custody, which is likely why he had us capture those men."Boss is presently not in a good mood so please let's play along nicely," Tony said monotonously as he shoved the two of them into the waiting van."Vegas, you and the others are to lay low during the meeting. If anything goes down, you know the drill" Vito said while we all nodded before hopping into our respective rides."Wanna drive?" Vegas asked me in a teasing voice, wiggling his eyebrows as he held up the key to me."I'd pass," I grumbled, walking hastily behind Vito to his car. Pete, Vito, and I

Hearing those shots, we all sprung into action grabbing our guns from the boxes and running towards the direction of the chaos. Picking up my speed, I could hardly see the scenery. I just focused on making it to the others. As soon as I managed to make out Vegas fending off two guys, I leaped into action and roughly shoved one of the guys off him before knocking him out.Tony was right behind me and he slammed his fist as hard as he could into the other guy before kicking him away."Are you alright?" Tony gasped and Vegas just nodded but he was not as I watched him grab his shoulder. There was a lot of blood moistening his sleeve and I could only presume it was a gunshot wound.Looking around, I saw a full-on battle going on as some of our guys who were out in other parts of the vicinity had now reached here fighting off Corentin's men. Pulling out my gun, I clicked off the safety before firing rounds into unsuspecting heads.It seemed Corentin had taken extra men of his own as I sa

Was that the sound of water? I was on water? That was the first sense that had come back to me and soon enough, my nose and eyes were twitching, trying to help wake me up. My eyes slowly opened, and I could see I was in a small bare room, with just me occupying it.I sat up gradually and the sound of metal clanging got my attention instantly, my hands and legs were chained to a pipe.How long have I been here? I was still wearing my clothes from the day of the meeting but they didn't smell bad so maybe not long? A few hours? I wasn't sure.Sighing, I tried to remember what had occurred. Well, we had the deal, the deal went to shit, a fight started and then they threw some kind of smoke bomb which turned out to be some sort of gas I guess. Now here I am, in some strange prison, once again.I suddenly looked up as the sound of footsteps got closer. The footsteps began to become louder in the hall and I stared at the door, wondering who was about to come through it.The door opened and

Knowing I had thrown the last blow, I eyed Dion as he stormed towards me with pent-up rage evident in him. I swear I could see smoke emerge from his ears and being prepared myself, I watched him come as close as he could."You know what, you are just some bitter little girl. You can't escape this life…you and I both know he will come for you. You never objected to the way he used you then…but why now...Why??? You've tasted freedom… now you think you've got it all?" Dion's words were harsh and intense and I did have to admit, he was beginning to mess with my mind.I had long since craved freedom and thinking about it now I guess there was no better time than now to leave. I had at some point almost lost hope but I just had the feeling things were going to get better for me and that kidnapping saga was a blessing in disguise."If you ask me he should have just killed you off when he had the chance to… but no… father's more lenient than that. He wouldn't kill a baby or a woman so he let
Last Updated : 2024-02-01Shadow Heiress Chapter 24 - Clue
**VITO’S POV**Taking my last steps through the empty mansion, my footsteps echoed. Everyone had moved out on my orders, and the only reason I was here now was to leave some clue behind for Juno to be able to find us.Walking into her room I could still smell her Cologne this was my first time coming in here. Chuckling, it was exactly what I expected it to be, bare with little to no presence in here. It made me think of how she had been living back at her parents' place.I thought of the way she had fit in here easily with me and the guys, I could see the evident efforts she put in to blend with the guards and how she handled herself, letting it bring a smile to my face. Taking a walk towards the window, an idea struck me. Juno in her spare time, liked to take walks in the garden, she would usually just sit right in front of the roses and watch them. It was such a sight that always brought a smile to my face because the garden was close to my office window, and I always got to take

**VITO'S POV** Continued…Waiting impatiently for the said call, I decided to make myself a quick drink to calm my nerves. Settling down with my drink and taking a few sips, the phone began ringing.Motioning for these two beside me to come closer, I picked up the call and I was immediately welcomed by two irritating pair of eyes, Corentin and Hugo."Mr. Costello, I'm sure you know what this is about?" Corentin stated and I nodded."You have one of mine and you want something in exchange for her," I said straightforwardly."Well, Mr. Raphael Genovese already offered a beefy price for the girl…although I'm a little curious as to why…but I'm sure you could present something with a grand difference, no?" Corentin said without shame and I just raised a brow."And how did you come to that conclusion?" I asked, and I could tell Corentin didn't expect me to object or be laid back about what he said as he was silent for a moment.“For starters…you don't want your wife back?"Wait...WIFE???Oh

This was the most beautiful building I had ever set eyes on. It was so huge!I felt so out of place walking the little path to the main door. As I made a move to find my way in, I noticed that someone was already on their way to help me out."Miss Costello, we've been expecting you… right this way please,” a young man said as he opened the door for me, leading me in.I still had to get used to my new name. It felt so foreign to me."Thanks..." I said as he led the way.Taking me down the halls, I only could admire how majestic this place was. I was so sure I could see sparkles judging from how clean this place was too. On getting to the elevator, he ushered me in and pressed a couple of buttons. We were going to the third floor and It didn't take us long to get there. Stepping out, he directed me to a large door saying “You stop ma’am” Then he bowed and left.Knocking on the door I waited for a response but received none so I made my way in.The first thing I was welcomed with was a

**The Blue Dragons Den**The guards all stood in fear with their heads bowed down as their boss Paul Corentin paced up and down the small space they managed to acquire due to their declining funds."How the hell did she get out? How?? I gave out instructions and you couldn't stick with them?” He yelled at the top of his voice."We did Sir…we followed your instructions…We don't know how all this happened" One of the head guards answered with uncertainty evident in his quivering voice, clearly not knowing how else to handle their present predicament."Kim! What the hell happened there?" Corentin asked, turning to face the girl who had been tight-lipped this entire time.“I…I…don't know boss, when I got in Dion Genovese was unconscious and his sister told me that he had tripped and hit his head while entering the room. She had her brother's gun and turned it on me, demanding that I release her" she made clear and the next thing she knew, she was struggling to breathe as Corentin wrapped

Shadow Heiress Chapter 51 - Hope
Waiting anxiously, I watched as he walked towards me leaning down slowly and giving me a soft kiss on the lips."Babe, don't say things like that while naked. You're a temptation in disguise and I'm easily provoked" he said and I found myself deadpanning at him"You're just silly," I said relieved as Vito stood up straight, stripping off his clothes. I quickly averted my eyes and kept them trained on my hands as he did so because I didn't want to seem like I was prying too much and soon enough, Vito got in behind me, which made my cheeks flush with color.We settled in, it felt good relaxing on his brick of a chest with just a comfortable silence, the two of us in our little world until I broke it."I…I saw Dion earlier today" I said and I could feel Vito stiffen up behind me."What?" He asked, surprise in his tone and I took a moment to find my words before continuing."He was...in some kind of weird situation and for whatever reason, I don't know why but I helped him out," I said."
Shadow Heiress Chapter 50 - Warmth
“Stop…giving me that look,” I asked Vito who didn’t stop staring“What look? I promised I was going to get you warm” he said smiling and went back down for some more kisses.After a while, my body suddenly hinted that it needed oxygen and it needed it soon so I broke from the kiss to catch some. Vito however didn't seem to need any as his lips met my neck, kissing and sucking the skin as he pleased. He would suck on a particular spot before licking it and doing the same to different areasI felt his warm palm rub against my stomach and rub his way over my breast, he slipped his hand under me to unclasp my brassiere, and using his other hand he took my nipple in between his fingers rubbing away“Aah…Vi..Vito'' I moaned unashamedly. Why did that feel so good? He continued rubbing the bud between his fingers and a feeling that I wasn't accustomed to surged within me.I knew what it was from how my lower region began to itch and as if on cue, he brought his mouth down on my other nipple s
Shadow Heiress Chapter 49 - Tease
Navigating through my day at work was tiring, of course, I got there late which I hated and I couldn’t focus much because of how my day started. The one time I decided to walk to work, well that's the last time I'm ever doing that. Seeing Dion, really just ruined my whole day.It was still so unbelievable because what are the chances that that had happened just as I was passing by? I did contemplate helping him though but seeing how pathetic Dion looked made me feel some type of way and ruled out any negative thoughts I had about him in that moment.He was still my blood regardless.Letting out a sigh, I knew I didn't want to think about it all anymore but our argument kept bothering me. The way Dion seemed ignorant about how our lives had turned out, or was he just pretending? Or was he playing some type of card game trying to convince himself that he didn’t have a hand in all this? One way or the other he had a large role to play and although I didn’t blame him entirely, maybe I jus
Shadow Heiress Chapter 48 - Realizations
^^DION’S POV continued^^“Shut up, we need to get out of here before the cops show up” Juno yelled back at me as she almost nearly crashed into another parked car as we made our way out of the narrow route.“Focus on driving then” I screamed out at her again“I can’t drive and neither can you” she gritted out after finding a safe place for us to get off. And besides, if there was anything else we had in common aside from our looks we could not drive.We weren’t just cut out for it.“Can you at least untie me?” I asked and Juno sighed before grabbing her knife from her boots and cutting me loose. I looked around in the vehicle for any piece of clothing to wipe my face clean from the stains of blood from earlier, and then we both stepped out with me walking behind her.“Aren’t you supposed to be with security? How did you manage to get in their hands?” she asked suddenly breaking the silence“Was just in the area, strolling, or am I not old enough to do so” I lashed out and Juno sighed
Shadow Heiress Chapter 47 - Chance Meeting
^^DION’S POV^^In the situation I was currently in, never have I ever wished for my sister to be here more than I do right now.I know I treated her terribly at some point and said some mean stuff but c’mon, siblings tend to fight all the time and they settle. It’s not like I’ve ever wished her bad, things were just the way they were because of the household we found ourselves in.“You sickos…let go of me!" I yelled as I struggled against the men carrying me away.I was taking a stroll when suddenly I was cornered into some lonely street by a black van and some guys rushed out surrounding me. I was about to be taken captive again.This was the second time this had happened to me since Juno my sister absconded to be with the Costellos’. I mean this misfortune wouldn't be going on right now if she hadn't left in the first place.Right from when we were little, the both of us never really got along, we were more or less like two sides of a coin. We were attached of course as twins but we
Shadow Heiress Chapter 46 - Red Flags
^^VITO’S POV^^Waking up with a start, I had expected to be alone by this time because Juno might have woken up but to my surprise, she was still cuddled up in my arms, sleeping soundly. I didn't plan to sleep here, I remember sitting in the living room, waiting for her to get home from work but instead received a message from her saying she wanted to stay back for a while, so I felt it would be better if I stayed in her room and waited. But instead, I slept off. Taking a glance at the clock on the stand, although the moon was still evident illuminating the room, it was almost time for Juno to wake up. Taking in her features, I admired her long lashes, and her gentle face as she snoozed away. Despite all the changes made to her for this new mission, I could still see her old self right there, like back when we first met, I remembered finding her too graceful for a boy. Thinking back now, seeing Juno and Dion, the differences were glaring. For starters, the face, the eyes, Juno alw
Shadow Heiress Chapter 45 - Persistent Pursuit
“Hey miss…What are you doing here” the voice asked but I stood still because the voice seemed so familiar.Turning to face the person who spoke, I already knew it was him.That weird doctor.I glared at him as he walked towards me and stopped right in front of me, eyeing me from head to toe before backing away."I knew you looked new and different. Who are you?" He asked. There was no way I could put my mission at risk by talking to this guy so I concluded on ignoring him.Keeping my phone back in my pocket, I stepped to the side so I could walk away but Antoine didn't seem like he was going to let me leave"C’mon, don’t do that…'' he started and grabbed my hand. On instinct, I used my other hand to elbow his stomach before pushing him away from me.“If you touch me again, I’ll kill you” I stated angrily, glaring at him so he got the message clear and direct. I wasn't sure what his purpose was or what he was getting at but I had to be on my guard right now."Chill, I’m not going to hu
Shadow Heiress Chapter 44 - Busted
Still out with nothing much to do, I picked up my phone and placed a call to Vito. The phone rang for a while but he didn't pick up so I just concluded he was busy but as I was about to put the phone down, the phone began ringing and checking the caller ID it was Vito so I quickly picked it up but was greeted with shouting in the background.“...can't do this anymore… I don’t want to go anymore! y'all know I’m scared of needles, what if they stick one up my ass?!" My eyes widened at the question, the voice sounding very much like Vegas."Oh please…what are you? Nine? Why would you think that…like why would a needle be put in your ass you idiot?" another voice, Pete asked"It's very possible!" Vegas cried. "Ermm…Hello...Is he Okay…?" I trailed and Vito sighed"Bab…Junie…sorry just ignore him, he's been throwing tantrums about the whole thing. Have you been able to find anything?" Vito asked and I shook my head like he was seeing me and smiled because he almost slipped in front of the
Shadow Heiress Chapter 43 - Sixth Sense
Arriving at my new job in the hospital, well temporarily, I was all dressed up in my uniform that I didn't know how Laurene got. Sitting in the tiny room I let out a sigh, It was hot here even with all the hospital's air conditioning, and my nose burned from all the chemicals I had inhaled. Vegas’s appointment was later on in the day but I had to resume so early.Getting out of the house was a struggle this morning because of Vito, It's been three days only but I feel he's been trying to hold back on being too clingy but this morning was an absolute failure.^^Flashback^^"Vito, you have to wake up…the guys can't see you coming out of my room this early,” I said as I tried to shake him awake but he didn't seem to budge as he snored gently.Sighing, I turned to walk away and continued"You can't keep coming to sleep in here, how would the guys react to this besides I have to go to work now," I whined awayBut was caught off guard as he grabbed me by the hand and pulled me down onto the
