My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin novel Chapter 407

Chapter 407: Times Have Changed

BANG!

The moment the first shot rang out, everyone in the area ducked.

"We’re under attack!" someone shouted.

BANG!

Those assigned to Shyaan, Liza, and Ramirez immediately dragged them behind the vehicles. At the same time, the men surrounding Ashley and Primo shielded them with their bodies before pulling them behind another car.

"The Master!"

BANG!

By the time Dominion’s men reached Lucian and Tommy, a third shot rang out.

This time, it struck one of Tommy’s men, who had thrown himself in front of the two as a human shield.

THUD!

"Find him!"

"It’s a sniper!"

"Seal every exit within the perimeter!"

Panicked shouts erupted throughout the area before the echoes of the gunfire had even faded.

Everyone scanned their surroundings with weapons drawn, searching for the sniper’s position.

Moments later, more gunshots erupted from different directions as Dominion returned fire.

Meanwhile, Lucian grunted beneath the weight pressing him down.

Clenching his teeth, he slowly shifted his gaze to the man hovering above him.

Tommy.

His hands were planted on either side of Lucian.

The moment Lucian saw the twisted expression on Tommy’s face, his eyes widened.

Tommy’s arms trembled violently before he lowered his gaze to Lucian beneath him.

"Get out of here," Tommy breathed through gritted teeth. Blood stained his teeth as he spoke. "Take your wife and child... and get them out of here."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Tommy coughed.

He turned his head, his face contorting from the agony burning through his back.

Before he could push himself away, however, all strength suddenly left his arms.

"Sir Tomas!"

Lucian caught him and sat up.

The moment his hand touched Tommy’s back, he felt warm, sticky liquid soaking his palm.

Blood.

Lucian’s eyes trembled as he looked at Tommy, who had used his own body to shield him.

"Master!"

Gustav rushed over, nearly dropping to his knees the moment the gunfire ceased.

But as he approached, the sight of blood spreading across the concrete made him freeze.

When he finally looked up, all he saw was Lucian cradling Tommy as the older man’s face rapidly lost its color.

This was bad.

Meanwhile, Ashley wrapped an arm around Primo and hurried him into one of the waiting vehicles.

Once the gunfire stopped, she immediately looked up.

All she saw was people rushing toward Lucian and Tommy.

"Lucian... Uncle Tom..." she blurted, unable to see through the growing crowd.

Then...

She noticed the blood on the ground.

Her breath caught as her heart seemed to stop.

In that moment, Ashley could only pray it belonged to someone else.

Call it selfish.

Call it cruel.

She didn’t care if it had been Gustav.

Just not Lucian.

Just not Tommy.

Anyone but them.

Before she could cling to that hope any longer, movement caught the corner of her eye.

"Tom!"

Ashley slowly turned.

Liza was desperately trying to rush forward, only to be restrained by one of the men and Shyaan—who had already gotten out of the car—to keep her away from the line of fire.

"Tom!"

Her scream pierced through the chaos.

Raw.

Desperate.
