My Assassin Husband Pointed His Gun At The Mafia Queen Chapter 07
He Chose Her Over His Own Daughter
Marcus’s bullet tears through Adrian’s shoulder.
He drops to one knee.
I kick the knife away.
“Enough.”
Adrian presses a hand over the wound, staring at me.
“You were really going to let him kill me?”
“If I wanted you dead, you wouldn’t still be talking.”
His face tightens.
Then Vanessa’s voice echoes from the hallway.
“Adrian!”
Two guards drag her back toward the holding cells.
She twists against them.
“Don’t let her take my baby!”
Adrian immediately looks at me.
“Serena.”
I almost laugh.
Even now.
“She’s carrying my child.”
“There it is again.”
“What?”
“Your favorite excuse.”
I walk toward him.
“You pointed a gun at Ellie because Vanessa was carrying your child. You stabbed me because Vanessa was carrying your child. You tore our family apart because Vanessa was carrying your child.”
“Don’t bring the baby into this.”
“You already did.”
I pull out my phone and open a file Marcus sent me days ago.
Then I toss it onto the floor in front of Adrian.
An appointment confirmation fills the screen.
Adrian looks down.
His face changes.
Vanessa stops struggling.
I look at her.
“Want to tell him?”
She says nothing.
So I do.
“Vanessa scheduled an abortion.”
“I know.”
The room goes silent.
I stare at him.
“You knew.”
“She wasn’t sure she wanted to keep it.”
“And you still used that baby to justify everything you did to Ellie.”
He looks away.
That’s all the answer I need.
I take off my wedding ring.
I drop the ring at his feet.
“We’re done.”
His eyes snap back to mine.
“Serena.”
“You wanted a life that wasn’t mine.”
I step away.
“Now you have one.”
I turn to Marcus.
“Lock him up.”
Adrian tries to stand.
“Serena!”
I don’t look back.
I leave the holding area and find Ellie waiting upstairs.
The moment she sees me, she runs into my arms.
“Mommy.”
I hold her tightly.
“Is Daddy coming?”
I close my eyes for a second.
“No.”
She starts crying.
I wipe her tears away.
“It’s over, baby.”
This time, I mean it.
