The Lost De'Luca

Chapter Fifty

Third person's pov-
As if sensing the impending danger, shadow turned in time to see Franklin pulling the trigger

His eyes widened and he reached out and pulled Ace just in time and instead of the bullet piercing her heart, it went into her stomach and she winced

"Motherfucker!" She cursed as she glared at the dying man on the ground

She kicked him in the nose and he fell back. She examined her wound with a frown etched on her eyebrows

"You good?" Shadow asked

"I'm okay let's get this shit done with already" she said and shadow shook his head

He walked to the table and took the scarf and helped her tie it on her bleeding stomach

"You will only die by my hands, until then nothing must happen to you" he said and she rolled her eyes at him

"The petrol has been spread around the entire house. We'll leave this idiot here, let's go" shadow said and Ace nodded but something caught her eyes

A file on the table with the De'Luca name on it in bold letters. She knew something important must be inside so she sneakily grabbed it from the table

While they were heading out of the mansion, someone caught Ace's eyes. Someone she thought she would never see at this party

Standing there was her brother, Domenico who stood observing the party with his calculating eyes

Panic flooded Ace as she knew the house would go up in flames any moment from now

"I'll meet you outside. Do not light the house up without me understand?"  She said and shadow squinted but agreed nonetheless

She made her way to Domenico and grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the house without anybody noticing

As they left the house, Domenico removed himself from her hold with a harsh glare

"Who the fuck are you and how fuckin dare you touch me?!" He asked and he eyed her in disgust

"Leave the party right now or you will regret it" Ace said firmly, barely managing to stop her voice from shaking

"Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?" He sneered and she clenched her jaw

"Just fuckin leave!" She snapped and his eyes widened as if in realization

"Bambina?" He said in shock

"What the fuck are you doing here? Do you know how dangerous these parties are? Is this why you told Antonio that you won't be home early?" He asked and she closed her eyes in frustration

"I don't know who you are talking about just leave or I will have to force you to" she threatened and tried to walk away but he pulled her back and removed her mask. She froze and immediately put it back on, praying no one saw her face

"Go home right now bambina or I swear I'm going to tell Antonio what you're actually up to" Domenico said coldly

"I will, I was about to leave when I saw you. You need to leave right now" she pleaded

"Okay but you're coming with me. Let's go" he said and she shook her head

"I promise I'll go home but you go now. Trust me" she said and he narrowed his eyes at her

"You keep saying that. When will you actually tell me what's truly going on?" He asked in concern

"Soon brother" she said and he reluctantly got in his car. He stared at her for a minute before driving off
