Chapter 24 I watched as Camilla sauntered over to one of the hired guns standing in the shadows . Her manicured fingers wrapped around his pistol , yanking it from. his grip before he could react . She turned , the weapon gleaming under the harsh lights as she pointed it at Lorenzo . Her lips curled into a predatory smile . Ive waited so long for this moment . Planned every detail . Lorenzos expression remained impassive as he stared down the barrel . I have no idea what youre talking about . Ive never done anything to you . Her laugh echoed through the concrete space , sharp and brittle . Shel pulled back the hammer with an ominous click . Oh , of course you dont . Her eyes flickered to me , something dark and unhinged dancing in their depths . But well get to that story after I deal with this first . My heart slammed against my ribs as she stalked toward me , her heels clicking a death march across the floor . The cold metal of the gun pressed against my temple , and I could smell her expensive perfume mixed with sweat and rage . Any last words , Val ? The barrel dug into my skin . I held my breath as Camilla pressed the gun harder against my temple , her perfectly manicured nails digging into my scalp . Poor girl , she purred , her eyes darting to Lorenzo . Got dragged into this because of him . The shift in her attention made my skin crawl . There was something personal in the way she looked at Lorenzo , a history I couldnt decipher . Her gaze swung to Dominic , who stood frozen , his face a mask of disbelief . Watch your ex fiancée die . The words had barely left her lips when Dominic lunged forward with a roar . The gun cracked , the sound deafening in the enclosed space . Dominics body crumpled as he clutched his leg , blood seeping between his fingers . His scream of pain echoed off the walls . Dickhead . Camillas voice dripped with contempt . She kept the gun steady against my head while glaring down at him . You should be glad you got to fuck me . The casual way she spoke about everything made bile rise in my throat . 95 % The gun returned to its original position , pressed firmly against my temple . I could feel the metal , still warm from the shot that hit Dominic , who continued to writhe on the floor . Camillas attention zeroed back in on me , her breath hot against my ear . Say hi to your parents and your baby , Camilla whispered in my ear , her finger tightening on the trigger . I squeezed my eyes shut , bracing for the impact . One second passed . The shot never came . My eyes flew open at the sound of Camillas gasp . Lorenzos hand gripped her wrist , twisting it upward . Hed somehow freed himself from the chair and moved across the room without making a sound . Let go of me ! Camilla thrashed against his hold . Her eyes darted to the hitmen . Kill him ! What are you waiting for ? The men remained motionless , their faces blank as they stood behind Lorenzo . A cold smile spread across his face as he wrenched the gun from her grasp . They work for me . His boot connected with her stomach , sending her sprawling across the concrete floor. They always have . Camilla scrambled backward , her designer dress collecting dirt and grime . Thats impossible . Dominic hired them- Through a shell company owned by Constantine International . Lorenzos voice carried a dangerous edge . Did you really think I wouldnt have eyes on you both after what you did ? The hitmen moved forward in perfect synchronization , their weapons trained on Camilla as she cowered on the ground . Her carefully crafted facade crumbled , revealing the terrified woman beneath all that expensive makeup and calculated cruelty . Lorenzo rushed to my side , his hands making quick work of the ropes binding me to the chair . His touch was gentle despite the urgency of his movements . Mi amor , Im so sorry I couldnt tell you . His fingers brushed against my wrists where the ropes had left angry marks . I needed your reactions to be genuine . They would have known if you were acting . I stared at him , my mind racing to catch up . You knew ? This whole time ?
