Shadow Heiress Chapter 9 - Negotiations
It's been exactly three weeks since I last saw Vito’s face and a part of me was hoping that I had seen the last of him. My days consisted of me moving from one motel to the other, trying out things I had never done before.I also put some effort into exploring more of my femininity. I started by trying out girly stuff; growing out my hair, changing my wardrobe and oh I purchased some makeup too. I consumed what I wasn’t allowed to eat back at home, took strolls, and it turns out I was a nature lover. I figured since I was a little far from home I wouldn’t be recognized easily so why not take advantage and live a little. Although I still had to watch my back from time to time to be on the safer side. Coming back from one of my usual strolls, I noticed a particularly expensive-looking car in the parking lot of the run-down motel. I knew my hopes were too damn good to be true. It had to be him.If I was being honest I gave his offer more thought than I would have liked to but every t
Shadow Heiress Chapter 10 - Alliance
Sitting here processing all what this man was saying was beginning to tire me out."I can take care of myself," I voiced out boldly."Mmmh, that may be the case for you but it doesn't sit right with me. I'd hate for a misunderstanding within the household to cause you harm" Vito said, crossing his hands."I can take care of myself," I said again, this time with my signature stare perhaps he didn't hear me earlier but Vito just brushed it off."Perhaps is there some sort of wish that I can grant you that will appeal to you? Is there something you highly desire?" he asked.Contemplating what exactly I should say, hearing him ask this felt weird to my ears. I've never been asked what I wanted before so I had to take a quick minute to think about how I had been living the past few days compared to how I lived back home. I immediately knew what I had to say."Freedom," I said. That is all I have ever wanted, it would be my dying wish if anything."Alright then. You'll be under my roof for
Shadow Heiress Chapter 11 - Reckoning
I wanted out, I was tired.Been here for almost a week and in fact, it's been six days and I've nearly and have gotten into fights here. I know I told Vito that I could take care of myself, although I could but I was slightly regretting it.These people only saw the son of the man who killed their friend and wanted to murder him.My real identity hasn’t been outed yet, it was still kept under wraps. I lowkey asked for it to be so. But I sometimes wondered if these guys learned that if I was a woman they would treat me any differently.Today might be a little better as Vito informed me of some kind of meeting he needed to attend and that it would be held in a restaurant.I didn't have any issue with it, I was all for eating great food on someone else's dime and I'd finally get to relax while I ate.At least that's what I thought."Aah, it's so hot today!" I grumbled as I pulled on the neck of my bodysuit. I've worn bodysuits on multiple occasions but that didn't make me like them one b
Shadow Heiress Chapter 12 - Heart of the Storm
Sitting here, watching this whole thing was draining me badly. "What the hell Vegas, take it easy,” Tony said as he looked at the swollen face of some guy Vegas was questioning."Well, he chose to be mute and I don't have a lot of patience in me”, Vegas said as he wiped the blood off his hands. The man he was interrogating was one of the guys from the restaurant that was still alive. Vito wanted information on who and why those guys attacked us even though he was very well aware of who did but chose to play dumb for the sake of having "integrity" as he puts it.If they think we don't know, then they're more prone to giving us the information if we whack it out of them."So what did he say? Anything on Hugo yet?" I asked. Hugo was the man we were supposed to meet at the restaurant and apparently, he had information on why Vito's cousin Lucas was killed by my Father, until those men, his men, attacked us."After hitting him a little, I couldn't really make out much of what he was sayin
Shadow Heiress Chapter 13 - Crossfire
Seeing the red light finally going back to green, we were flying down the streets again. Eventually when we got to the bar Vito spoke of, at the door, a bouncer stood guard and upon seeing Vito, stepped to the side and let us in.Well that was easy.."I thought you said the owner was a friend of Hugo?" I said and Vito shrugged."You know not everyone's friends are really their friends" he said simply. “Well I trust you know not to drink anything" Vito said as we took a seat at the bar."Not planning to anyways" I said and took a look around. It wasn't one of those loud bars where there was a bunch of people standing around, talking, drunk and misbehaving. This bar was more chill although it was packed full and the music was at a decent rhythm."Hugo is supposed to be here?" I questioned."Not so sure, but I know this is a place he likes to frequent. His cousin is the owner so if he's not here, I guess his cousin is going to be our next target" Vito said as he checked his watch.Looking

**Present**"Alright all done! You can pay now, in cash please!" Vegas said, holding his hand out and I looked at him with a raised brow."How about I crack some fingers so I can return the favor?" I said while he let out a nervous laugh."Just joking, there's no need to be so serious all the time Juno” he said and I sighed. I was so exhausted and all I wanted to do right now was snuggle in my bed and sleep this fatigue off but each day here is always a working one.After we were all done, Vegas and I walked out of the room, deciding to go get something to eat, but when I stepped out of the room, I bumped into someone.I did feel an extra bit of force behind it, which made me fall to the ground.Looking up, I saw Frankie, one of the guards around, standing above me with that usual menacing look on his face. I did not feel like dealing with this right now. Sure I did get dirty looks and a few shoves from a majority of the people around here but at least they never actually tried to ki
Shadow Heiress Chapter 15 - Forging Bonds
After the last encounter I had with Frankie I had to come clean with Vito and tell him how my stay so far had been and it was time to come clean about my identity to the other guys. Which I assumed he had done.I couldn't keep on hiding, I needed to live my life as I pleased, and getting on this deal with Vito was the very first step I had to take.Walking down the halls was a bit different today, I didn't get as many disgusted looks and someone even waved to me. I thought I was in the twilight zone for a moment, that's how weird it was.I was actually more used to the nasty looks I got.It's not as if it bothered me, I was typically always with Vito and these people wouldn't act that way in front of him.Honestly, I was hardly ever alone around here, it was an upgrade compared to where I was coming from. Vegas and Tony were being friendly or trying to be on Vitos’ orders and the man himself constantly wouldn’t let me be always asking me to do things for him or with him. He treated me
Shadow Heiress Chapter 16 - Mole
"The only way you two are leaving this room is with a bullet in your head except you explain to me how exactly Hugo got out" Vito stated furiously, his patience running thin and I could see he was trying very hard to hold himself.If this is what his retained outrage looked like, I'd hardly want to see it lose. The two guards who had been on watch at the time currently looked like they were about to piss their pants and honestly, I don't blame them.Pete, Tony, Vegas, and I stood to the side watching the interrogation go down."We have no idea how this happened, boss...." one of them mumbled."No idea? Sleeping on duty? Do I overwork you to the point where your bodies are so tired you can't bear to keep your eyes open?" Vito lashed out in a quick streak, eyes sharp and deadly. It left no room for complaints or even explanation and it didn't look like the two had any reason for their actions anyways as they shook in fear.“Vito..." Pete started but he stopped when Vito glared at him."
