My Second Marriage with the Mafia Kingpin novel Chapter 513

Chapter 513: Will You Shoot Your Own Daughter?

[Flashback]

"What’s rule number one?"

Ashley rolled her eyes at Scott, who was holding a pistol. He gave her a knowing look.

"Never let anyone take your gun," she answered.

"And whose gun is this?"

She studied the pistol in his hand before meeting his eyes. "Mine."

"If I get ahold of it again, I’m firing it at you," he warned before tossing the pistol to her.

Ashley caught it midair and examined it. She tilted it from side to side before pointing it at him.

TAK!

Her lips curled into a smug smirk as a pellet struck him in the chest.

Scott’s brows furrowed. He glanced down at where the pellet had hit him before looking into her eyes again.

"Rule number one: never let go of your weapon, and never let anyone take it," she reminded him with a light chuckle. "Unless... you want them to hold it for a while."

Silence fell between them before a defeated chuckle escaped Scott.

"You got me."

Ashley smirked. "I always do."

"No, you don’t."

"Yes, I do."

"Let’s get out of here. Mission complete."

"Yes, boss!"

[Present Time]

Scott breathed heavily, propping himself against the car’s tires. His stomach was still bleeding, but he was far more concerned about the situation Marshal had gotten himself into.

After all, Ashley would never let anyone take her gun or hold her hostage unless she wanted them to.

It had been years since Scott had last managed to snatch her weapon from her during one of their exercises. He used to try it at random moments to ensure she never lowered her guard.

Ashley never did—not even when she wasn’t on a mission.

"I need to stop her," he breathed, attempting to crawl away from where he had fallen. "He can’t die... not yet."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the cargo containers, silence reigned.

"It’s been a while, Marshal."

Marshal’s breath hitched as his eyes widened in horror. His gaze remained fixed on Tommy, who was perched on the edge of the back seat with the vehicle’s door open.

"How...? Didn’t you die?" he stammered. "How—"

"Did you really think something as petty as what you did would be enough to kill him?" Julio snorted.

Marshal shifted his gaze toward Julio. It was only then that he noticed several familiar faces among the people surrounding them.

His face twisted as he realized he had been played by both Dominion and Tommy. It wasn’t difficult to put two and two together.

Ashley, on the other hand, blinked several times before her face brightened.
