**Days Later**

Laying in bed, I could swear I was fast asleep but sounds of muffled talking kept drifting in and out of my hearing. Slightly cracking my eyes open, I noticed it was already morning as I could see the rays of light seeping through the curtains.

The voice became more audible now because it seemed the owner of the voice was standing right outside my door.

"Yes exactly, you can decide on the location and the restaurant, I get to pick out the menu… it's gonna be pretty basic food actually, my friend isn't used to fancy meals" I heard Vito say, chuckling at whatever was said by the person on the other end after which he became quiet.

Debating with myself for a moment, I wasn't sure if I wanted to get up yet or not but I knew I didn't have much of a choice, I had work to attend to. Sighing, I slowly sat up and stretched a bit, yawning widely because I still felt very sleepy.

Checking my bedside clock, It was almost half past ten, and I wished I could just lay back down for a

  • Shadow Heiress   Chapter 29 - Allies in the Shadows

    Walking into the restaurant, we were welcomed warmly by a hostess who asked Vito a few questions before directing us to our table."Vito!" A shrill voice called out. Turning towards the direction of the voice was a young lady and a man sitting. She was one of the prettiest women that I've ever seen. Her blond hair was full and long, longer than I'd seen on some women, and I wondered how she managed it when it was so long. The woman happily got up upon seeing us approach the table.Watching her, I noticed her eyes were only on Vito and they seemed to shine with joy at the sight of him."Coralie, It's nice to see you again," Vito said, giving the lady a short hug.“Hey, man!!!” The man by her side said pulling Vito into a big hug which he in turn squeezed tighter.Taking in his appearance, he looked similar to the young lady beside him, exact blond hair which was in a man bun."It's been so long Bastien, good of you to grace me with your presence,” Vito said, pulling away.“Oh common…

  • Shadow Heiress   Chapter 30 - The Juno Gambit

    Dragging my feet trying to keep awake, it was very early in the morning but I couldn't complain because today was a big day and I was woken up and guided by Vito personally to get myself ready. He had seemingly sent a message to Corentin handing him a chance to repent and apologize for his mischief, give us the information we want on Lucas's death, return whatever he extorted from other groups, and break up Blue Dragon immediately and without uproar.Watching Vito lead his people this way was different for me. It was kind of hard for me to believe that Vito was a mafia boss, he was acting like a peacemaker of some sort. He was in a position where others looked up to him and to keep up his actions with other groups, I guess this was a path to follow, as not everything had to end up in violence.But because these were the Blue Dragons, this definitely won't go down without a fight.All these made me think of the household I grew up in, and how issues were handled differently. Violence

  • Shadow Heiress   Chapter 31 - Cunning Shots

    Standing here, all I could think about was how my father had to stoop so low to this level, and for what? What exactly was he trying to get or achieve?I just couldn't believe that my father asked people like this to get me back, it just showed how lazy and shameless they were. If they wanted me back, why didn't they come and get me themselves? Well, there's no way in hell I would go back anyway so violence unfortunately has to be the only solution at this point.Unexpectedly I felt Vito grab my hand dragging me out of my thoughts, Wait…what? Was he going to trade me in?Turning to him with sudden fear and shock in my eyes, I couldn't believe this was going to happen. I trusted him. How was I going to defend myself? I wasn't prepared."Tsk…tsk…Paul Corentin, You just don't get it…do you? I've already told you, I'm only going to pull back from this under the conditions I've set up. Handing Juno over is not one of them and never will be" Vito stated, interlocking our fingers as he spoke

  • Shadow Heiress   Chapter 32 - Twist of fate

    **VITO’S POV**Hearing the gunshot and seeing Juno fall, at that moment made me freeze. I couldn't move my feet, it seemed like my heart had jumped right out of my body. In my eyes, it played like it was all in slow motion. One minute I was witnessing her smile the next she was dropping to the ground. The very one time she smiled at me was going to be the last? Being able to finally recover from the shock, I ran to Juno’s side and all I could see was blood which made my heart hammer in fear.Searching around for the culprit, my eyes suddenly landed on Hugo on the ground, apparently his legs looked damaged and he still had the gun in his hands. Without wasting any more time, I shot him straight in the head. Although it felt a little bit satisfying to get rid of that bastard, I wasn't feeling okay still. "Hey baby, just breathe okay, we're gonna get you to a hospital," I said trying to lift her. She was face down on the ground, not even moving and I could feel my blood growing cold se

  • Shadow Heiress   Chapter 33 - Whispers of the Heart

    **VITOS POV continued.Watching Juno as she slept peacefully, I could only ponder on how she had joined us, my light pestering and all that she'd been going through with us all in the name of seeking justice. I know she never had objections whenever she had to go on an assignment but had I known giving Juno that deal would make her go through all these or make me develop feelings, would I have still offered? I still couldn't believe I was falling for the daughter of the man who killed my cousin. It was strange, but I guess the heart wants what it wants and right now mine ached for Juno."If only I could tell you…” I whispered subconsciously but was startled when I got a response from the lady I thought was in a deep sleep. “…tell me what?" she opened her eyes slowly, those beautiful gray eyes holding me in place. Why did she have to wake up now!!!."You need some more rest…I'll have the doctor come check you up in the morning” I offered but was met on deaf ears as she slowly sat up

  • Shadow Heiress   Chapter 34 - Clash of Realities

    Sitting on the couch, book in hand, I had to keep myself busy, but I was sat here carried away by my thoughts, basically staring into space. I had so many things on my mind, feelings I had to figure out and I looked like a shipwreck. Currently, I was home, still on bed rest, not like I needed it but Vito didn't want my ass out, something about not forgiving himself if something happened to me again. I was feeling so many things right now, confusion, shame, worry but most importantly, pain. Sure I've been shot before but right now, I doubt this was any physical pain. And well, shame because I didn't know how to act around him anymore. Any moment I get to be in his presence I turn into a blushing mess, like we almost kissed and I low-key wanted it to happen.Vito letting out the fact that he... liked me was something I never would have thought would come from him. Yes, I know at random, he says or does some things that make my heart beat fast, being so unpredictable regularly but that

  • Shadow Heiress   Chapter 35 - A Daughter's Discovery

    Getting up shakily, I wondered if no one heard our brawl going on, there had to be guards somewhere around. Making my way to my room, I picked up my phone and sent a message to Vito informing him of the intruder and to get his ass back home as soon as possible. After which I quickly dropped my phone, picked up my gun just in case of any further problems, and headed down back to the living room.I picked up my book and continued reading even though I had lost interest, keeping one eye on the intruder until the guys came back in.Barely fifteen minutes later, I heard cars out front and suddenly Vito barged in worry evident on his face."Shit, Junie…what happened? Are you okay?!" He questioned as he rushed to me and looked all over at my bruises. I stuck out my finger pointing to the unconscious lady behind the dining table on the floor who Pete rushed over to check on."No way, it's Laurene" Pete voiced out loud and Vito turned to have a look…"She picked the lock, I didn't have a bette

    "Look who is here…finally!" Vegas called out to the new face as he walked in through the entrance. Vito thought it would be best to have both Vegas and Tony here for when Laurene was ready to explain everything. It was only right they were included not just because they were his right-hand men, they also needed to know why their friend was killed."Hey, V," Laurene said excitedly as she was pulled into a bone-crushing hug by Vegas. I guess they were also close."Tony," Laurene said next with an unimpressed look as she just stared at Tony. "Laurie," Tony replied with the same energy as they just stood staring at each other.I could sense some kind of tension between the two of them and just concluded they probably didn't like themselves much. And besides I think he just called her name in short form, you can't just do that except you actually have history."It's high time…you both reconciled…c’mon it's been three years already…we aren't…!" Vegas said as he looked between the two."Pl

    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

    ^^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

    “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

    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

    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
