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
Shadow Heiress Chapter 40 - Found
"Dumb asses, I bet they didn't know this was here” She grinned as we both walked in and all I could do was feed my eyes because this was new to me. I could also bet my room back at my father’s house could fit in here. I saw her open one of the wider drawers and pull out a big bag with a silver combo lock hanging off of it.“Just where I expected it to be.” She stated "Yeah…that’s it, let's…" She started but froze and put a finger to her lips, pointing her other finger to her ear, signaling if I had heard anything. Listening closely, the sound of a car door being shut filled my ears and I slowly nodded."C'mon, we can go up to the attic" She whispered before guiding me to the hall. Quickly pulling it down, she ushered me up the steps before going up herself and pulling the stairs back up.Though faintly, we could now hear the men's voices as they entered the house, talking loudly. "...they have to be somewhere around," One of them said, his voice scratchy and annoying. He most likel
Shadow Heiress Chapter 41 - Heartbeats and Handshakes
‘How to know if you like someone'I stared down at the search results of the article on my phone with weariness, there was no way I was this down-bad, and besides I knew it wasn't always good to believe what you read on the Internet but right now it was my only source of confirmation. It would be so awkward to ask someone although I considered asking Laurene but nah…'Your heart rate may increase when you are around them’‘You might feel butterflies in your stomach or nervousness’‘Your body language may change such as fidgeting or blushing’So that's what those feelings were? I placed my hands on my cheeks remembering all the times it felt whenever Vito was around me. He did make me feel nervous at times and I did blush a lot.‘You find yourself thinking about them frequently, even when you are busy’'You also may start to notice the little things they do and you can't help but think it's endearing’Well, I don't know if his whining while struggling to jump rope was something I found
