The Mafia Boss's Claim (Undergoing Editing,Do Not Read)

~Chapter 26~

Scarlett's POV

I was abruptly awoken by gunshots.My eyes shot open and I lifted myself up.I stood unsteady on my feet and looked over to Vince's body to make sure he wasn't miraculously alive again.Black dots clouded my vision and I leaned against the wall to steady myself.I picked up my leggings and pulled it up my legs.If I was found,I wouldn't want to be found half-naked.

I looked over to the phone I used to contact Lucien and the finger next to it.I gagged at the sight of it.I don't know what I was thinking when I cut off the man's finger,it was probably the adrenaline rush.It sounded stupid that I could have just left the finger attached to his hand and brought the phone over to him.

The situation seemed really amusing to me after I wasn't in the hands of a fucking sadist.I decided  that I should take Vince's gun,phone and knife.I kept the gun drawn but stayed in the room.I wasn't stupid enough to actually go out there.

I checked if the gun was loaded and sighed in relief when it was.I heard a beep on the phone and picked up the finger,pressing it on the fingerprint.It was from my number.

Unknown-Stay in the room princess.I'll tap my knuckles on the door three times if it's me.We're already in.

I sighed in relief and only prayed Lucien wouldn't get killed out there.But then I remembered who he was and smiled.

V-Got it.Please be safe.

I replied to him and leaned against the door.Then,I decided to act rationally.Anyone that wanted me dead could burst through these doors and I would be at a disadvantage.I looked over to a dresser situated in the corner of the room and ran over to it.I placed the gun on top of it and pushed the dresser in front of the door.I then proceeded to sit on the dresser and wait.I heard commotion and banging on the door and it alerted me.It was nothing like Lucien mentioned he'd do.

I stayed silent and heard more gunshots.It didn't really scare me after I killed a man.I don't regret it and probably won't ever regret it because it was either my life or his.The dresser shook underneath me and I put my weight more on it.I heard gunshots then the commotion behind the door was gone.

I listened closely and heard footsteps over the gunshots.I closed my eyes willing it to be Lucien.Then I heard it,three taps on the door.My body went rigid and I jumped off of the dresser and pushed it aside.I opened the door and surely,Lucien was standing there looking as hot as ever and panting.I still had the gun clutched in my hand as I ran over to him and jumped on him.

"Oh my God,Lucien,"I said and inhaled his alluring scent.

"Princess,I'm so glad you're okay.Did that scumbag touch you?"he had this fire in his eyes when he said that,it made me bite my lip.

"Yes,but he didn't get to quite finish the job,"I said and gestured over to the corpse in the room.

"I'm so fucking proud of you,"he said and I looked at him in the eyes before something caught my attention.I turned my head and looked over Lucien's shoulder.

There,in all her glory stood Jada.The person I once told all my secrets and affairs to.Makes you wonder whether there even are people you can trust wholeheartedly.She was bloody and had a gun drawn and was pointing it at Lucien's back.

"Lucien,Jada is aiming at you,"I whispered in his ear and also drew my gun.When she shot,I flung Lucien and I to the floor and Lucien also drew his gun.I didn't waste time and shot her in her knee.Making sure to send her falling face first on the floor.

I heard her scream and tore my eyes away from her and to Lucien.There wasn't anything wrong with him,but I was still worried he got shot by any chance.I saw Jada slithering towards her gun but Lucien shot her in her hand and an ear piercing scream traveled through the halls.She was losing a lot of blood,and it didn't matter whether we killed her now or whether she would die of  blood loss.She was going to die anyway.

So,I looked Lucien in the eyes and shot Jada in the head.My former best friend was now dead by my hand.
