"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

"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
Shadow Heiress Chapter 42 - Unleashed
Still seated on his bed, I scooted a lot closer to Vito and since he was way taller, this man was a giant, I was barely over 5 '5 and I was pretty certain he was way over 6' 0 ft. Leaning in, I could feel his breath on my face and even if they were only touching, my lips were all tingly and hot and I was so sure Vito could also hear my heartbeat because it felt like it was going to pop out anytime soon. This was supposed to happen right?Letting my lips linger on Vitos’ for a few more seconds, I finally pulled away and I could feel how hot my cheeks were. Vito eventually opened his eyes and I looked away almost immediately because I couldn't meet his eyes and still wasn't sure how he would react just yet.Feeling his eyes on me waiting for an explanation, I felt myself redden more.“I…since that day, I keep thinking about what you told me…it never fails to keep me up at night and most times the first thing that pops up in my head when I wake…” I trailed offThis has to mean I like h
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
