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
Shadow Heiress Chapter 36 - Behind closed doors
"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
Shadow Heiress Chapter 37 - Plan
Still sitting around trying to figure a way forward in this situation, I didn't even understand why they would go that far and for what.“This is all so strange, a hospital with that standard having multiple patient deaths, it doesn't look good to the outside eye." Vegas chimed in."That has to be why they're silently using cancer patients because everyone just considers cancer as the utmost death sentence and that there's nothing we can do about it," Vito said, letting out a weak sigh."No offense yeah, but Raphael Genovese is one awful individual" he muttered, turning to look at me.None given. "So what are we gonna do?" Tony asked"We have to find some way to expose this to the public eye but we're gonna need evidence, lots of it," Vito said."Yeah…but how do we do that?" Vegas asked as he looked at us."Well…sneaking in is our best bet right now," Pete answered."Easier said than done, I doubt we can just strut in there, if the hospital is in on it, it'd be difficult to pose as s
Shadow Heiress Chapter 38 - Beneath the surface
The rays of sunlight seeping through the curtains shone right in my face waking me up, after which I realized I had a weird dream. I felt a warm soothing hand gently caress my head, fingers weaving through my hair, that made me want to snuggle into it more. I never felt anything like this before but it felt so natural and nice…In the dream, I couldn't believe I was enjoying another's touch, which had always been so foreign to me that I'd thought I would never see the day I would long for a moment like that.But wait...who was it though? Finally deciding to check who, the face in front of me became blurry so I couldn't see the person at all. But why...? I wanted to know who it was. But that was a strange dream.Standing up from my bed to get a shower, I flinched when I caught sight of myself in the mirror.I had forgotten all about the changes that had been made to my appearance in the past few weeks. Going closer to the mirror, my eyes roamed over my new appearance. It was me lookin
Shadow Heiress Chapter 39 - Pandora
"Aah c’mon…, you guys make out or something? What took you so long?" Laurene asked and a shocked look crept up on my face."What? Why would we do that?" I asked and Laurene sighed."Oh, it seems like I guessed wrong..." she muttered. What the hell, what did she have in mind about Vito and me? Were we that obvious?"C’mon, don't make that face, I see the way he looks at you and acts all mushy around you. I hardly ever see him that way, you know, but sincerely speaking now, Vito isn't the type to hold back on his feelings so I assumed he might have said something to you already" Laurene explained. Listening to her explain, I didn't know how to react other than being a little bit embarrassed and a blushing mess. Why did she have to make me remember Vito’s confession? it played repeatedly in my head far too much and it happened when I least expected it to.And at that moment that was all I could think of, I still remember his subtle looks and how careful he seemed while picking his words
