SEDUCING MY STEPBROTHER novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44

Kira rushed out of the room at once, she got into the elevator and just as the door was sliding shut, Mr stranger stepped in with a gun in his hand.

“Why are you holding a gun?” Kira frowned.

“You can never be too careful, besides it might come in handy when we get to our destination,” he smirked at her.

“I never did catch your name,” she said as the door pinged open and they walked out of the elevator.

“I thought you would never ask,” he smiled, and Kira had a view of his perfect dimple.

“Vincenzo,” he whispered as if he didn't want her to hear his name, and Kira smiled.

They got to the door of the room where the sound came from, but it was locked from the inside. The sound of someone screaming from pain filled their ears and Kira turned to look at Vincenzo.

“I need you to go down there and tell Mr Callan what is going on here and have him send the securities to help while I get the key to this room,” she turned away from him and was about to leave in search of the key when she felt her wrist being tugged.

“Here, have this,” he passed the gun to her and she took it from him. ”I believe you are smart but I don't trust myself to leave you without protection.”

She looked down at the gun in her hand, wondering how on earth she would be able to shoot it. But before she could form the word, he began to speak again.

“No matter what is going on in there, don't interfere unless there is something that let you know things are not as they seem. And make sure that the gun is facing away from you before you pull the trigger, and aim for the victim's leg, okay?” he kissed her hard on the lip before walking away so fast.

What the heck was that? She asked herself but couldn't dwell on it for long as another sound came from the room.

Running down the hallway, she walked into the room where they kept important things and fished out the key for the room before rushing back to the door. She thrust and turn around the key, before pushing the door open and storming in.

Her eyes widened when she saw a man strangling a woman in the room, she slowly stepped closer until she was a few feet from them and her eyes widened again when she saw the woman's face.

‘What the hell is Lexi doing in a club?’ was the first question that came to her mind, but she didn't have the time to think about that when her friend started to turn pale.

The man strangling her brandished a knife, intending to stab her and she quickly cork the gun in her hand, pointing it at him.

“Get away from her!” she yelled and his hand stopped in the air.

He was hesitant and she knew it, but she was ready to shoot before he could get that knife anywhere near Lexi. She would be damned if she let him stab her right in her presence.

"I would not repeat myself… get away from her,” she stepped closer, he dropped his hand then and turn so swiftly toward her.

Kira panicked and pulled the trigger so fast, then pull it again, not caring where the bullet touched as long as she hit her target. The sound of a man groaning snapped her eyes opened and she saw the man writhing on the ground.
