Semua Bab Shadow Heiress: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Hearing those shots, we all sprung into action grabbing our guns from the boxes and running towards the direction of the chaos. Picking up my speed, I could hardly see the scenery. I just focused on making it to the others. As soon as I managed to make out Vegas fending off two guys, I leaped into action and roughly shoved one of the guys off him before knocking him out.Tony was right behind me and he slammed his fist as hard as he could into the other guy before kicking him away."Are you alright?" Tony gasped and Vegas just nodded but he was not as I watched him grab his shoulder. There was a lot of blood moistening his sleeve and I could only presume it was a gunshot wound.Looking around, I saw a full-on battle going on as some of our guys who were out in other parts of the vicinity had now reached here fighting off Corentin's men. Pulling out my gun, I clicked off the safety before firing rounds into unsuspecting heads.It seemed Corentin had taken extra men of his own as I sa

Knowing I had thrown the last blow, I eyed Dion as he stormed towards me with pent-up rage evident in him. I swear I could see smoke emerge from his ears and being prepared myself, I watched him come as close as he could."You know what, you are just some bitter little girl. You can't escape this life…you and I both know he will come for you. You never objected to the way he used you then…but why now...Why??? You've tasted freedom… now you think you've got it all?" Dion's words were harsh and intense and I did have to admit, he was beginning to mess with my mind.I had long since craved freedom and thinking about it now I guess there was no better time than now to leave. I had at some point almost lost hope but I just had the feeling things were going to get better for me and that kidnapping saga was a blessing in disguise."If you ask me he should have just killed you off when he had the chance to… but no… father's more lenient than that. He wouldn't kill a baby or a woman so he let

**VITO'S POV** Continued…Waiting impatiently for the said call, I decided to make myself a quick drink to calm my nerves. Settling down with my drink and taking a few sips, the phone began ringing.Motioning for these two beside me to come closer, I picked up the call and I was immediately welcomed by two irritating pair of eyes, Corentin and Hugo."Mr. Costello, I'm sure you know what this is about?" Corentin stated and I nodded."You have one of mine and you want something in exchange for her," I said straightforwardly."Well, Mr. Raphael Genovese already offered a beefy price for the girl…although I'm a little curious as to why…but I'm sure you could present something with a grand difference, no?" Corentin said without shame and I just raised a brow."And how did you come to that conclusion?" I asked, and I could tell Corentin didn't expect me to object or be laid back about what he said as he was silent for a moment.“For starters…you don't want your wife back?"Wait...WIFE???Oh

**The Blue Dragons Den**The guards all stood in fear with their heads bowed down as their boss Paul Corentin paced up and down the small space they managed to acquire due to their declining funds."How the hell did she get out? How?? I gave out instructions and you couldn't stick with them?” He yelled at the top of his voice."We did Sir…we followed your instructions…We don't know how all this happened" One of the head guards answered with uncertainty evident in his quivering voice, clearly not knowing how else to handle their present predicament."Kim! What the hell happened there?" Corentin asked, turning to face the girl who had been tight-lipped this entire time.“I…I…don't know boss, when I got in Dion Genovese was unconscious and his sister told me that he had tripped and hit his head while entering the room. She had her brother's gun and turned it on me, demanding that I release her" she made clear and the next thing she knew, she was struggling to breathe as Corentin wrapped

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…
