Gun Scene Haunting Adeline Chapter Novels & Stories

Ada Steele:- With a wild gasp of repulsion, I awoke, my hand darting to my chest where a moment before the dagger had struck through my heart, or rather what had seemed a moment. It felt as though my lungs were burning, my throat was scorched, and I was gazing with wide-open eyes at the gentle morning light pouring in the usual transparent curtains. My heart was beating with great thudding, my bosom heaving up and down under violent gasps of breath, as I gazed around this small, humble room, formerly my own, in the packhouse.

Her eyes became distant. "Once you're gone, he'll have no choice but to come back to me." Adaline stared directly into her eyes. "No." Camilla's smile vanished. "Ronan will never be with you."

Her voice trembled with fury. "One more word from you and I'll kill you."

He lunged for the bathroom to make himself throw up, but a sharp, searing pain had already erupted in his gut. "You crazy—" He gasped, barely forcing the words out. But Adeline just kept smiling—a cold, empty smile. She picked up the fruit knife from the coffee table and plunged it into his chest. Over and over. "Anyone who toys with a true heart deserves to die." When her strength gave out, she collapsed to the floor, sobbing. Dark, blood-red liquid spilled from her lips as she opened her mouth. Then she fell still. Her eyes stayed open, staring at nothing.

rich. ‎" Oh well this is Adeline" my dad smiled at me as the man opposite him turned to me. He looked deep into my eyes I felt small under his gaze. I looked away as I looked down. I could still feel his stare. I heard him hum lightly which made me look up. ‎"This will do" the man said as he stood up and his men followed him out. But my dad stood up and stopped them before they left. ‎"this is my older daughter. The deal was for the youngest" my dad chimed. A what? I was so lost.

She’s still near the chief, still within killing distance, but she’s injured which slowed her movements. I make a mad dash for her, quickly pulling a pistol out of my holster– aiming straight for the chief. BANG! BANG! Two thunderous gunshots ring in the air, for some reason, sounding heavier than the fighting in the background. But wait, my finger is still resting on the trigger… I didn’t fire those two rounds… My eyes widen in realization, my mouth dropping open as an agonized scream rips from my throat. I watch helplessly as Adeline stumbles and falls to the ground.

Yusuf said in his neutral professional voice. Killian nodded. "You are dismissed," he said, his hands curling in fists and shoved in his pocket. I looked back at the photograph. My hand shake a little and my vision blured for a moment. I shook myself and ground myself into reality. Adeline had cigarette burn marks on her arms, the gruesome scene was bloody as they were fresh and first photos of the crime scene, her lips blue and her eyes bulged out. Her dead and lifeless body on the bed.

He screamed and fell on top of me. Frightened, I pulled his body away from me and saw him bleeding. Confused, I ran my hand over my face, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Adeline with the gun in her hand. Her hands were shaking so badly that she dropped the gun to the floor; He leaned next to a chair. “Adeline! I walked over to her and held her face. She was startled and pulled away. "Calm down, it's me!" It is me…

I cried but Darren and Celine already had their mind made up as Darren placed the gun on Adeline’s stomach. “M… mommy.” Adeline cried, staring at me and before I could blink, the sound of gunshots filled the air and the smell of gunpowder followed. Watching with my mouth opened and my eyes wide as Darren dropped Adeline’s lifeless body on the cold, hard ground. “Adeline?” I muttered as I crawled to her side but her face was pale, she wasn’t smiling and her eyes were closed. She was bleeding profusely and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get her to open her eyes. I couldn’t get her to call me ‘mommy’ once again.

Her hand was steady as if she had been holding a gun all her life. Tommy's face suddenly changed as he realized she was being serious. "Adeline. Don't do this. You aren't a murderer. You don't belong with that criminal. So you should forget about everything and...." Tommy stopped talking as the sound of an explosion interrupted him. Damien looked at Adeline to make sure she was okay, but she stood still with the gun still pointed at Tommy. It took him a few seconds for Damien to notice the giant hole in Tommy's forehead. Adeline shot him mid-sentence.
