Chapter 68

Danica sat on the floor of the van, her hand hugging her bump, her heart in her throat with the sequel of events. What was supposed to be an amazing day because she decided to buy some extra stuff for the unborn child, has turned into a nightmare. She was just checking out some stuff when a man walked to her. She felt uncomfortable with his presence and just before she opened her mouth to tell him to give her space, he pressed a revolver to her bump.
Fear gripped her like venom. She obeyed the man's command to walk him without creating suspicion. Luckily for her, Gideon had been watching her through the glass door from outside because he wanted to give them space. To her horror, a bullet penetrated his chest before he could stop the man but that didn't stop him from also sending out some bullets that injured two of Jerome's men, if not kill them before the police arrived.
From where she sat, she couldn't see outside. Were these people after Loney? Was that the reason why he told her to always be in the mansion? Why did he give her permission when he knew there were still people after him?
