Chapter 29 Keeping Secrets

• I knew there was going to be trouble the minute Vega stepped through that door. What I also knew for certain was that I would be shooting him today. Now, if I say that I wanted to only wound him, then that would be a blatant lie. I have wanted to plant one in that miserable face of his for a while now. What I did not expect, though, is for one of these ladies to get shot. Giselle is lying on the floor, and my princess is hysterically crying while kneeling next to her body.
