Chapter 14: Chapter Fourteen

*Brielle’s POV*

What the ever-loving frick had I just gotten myself into?

Everything over the past few hours didn’t even feel real to me. Each thing sounded more ridiculous than the next.

I was next to a shootout where two rival families decided to confront one another. Sure, it was not entirely impossible for such a thing to happen, but the fact that I was right there and could have been seriously injured could have been a huge issue. Not only had I asked Leo to cover for me, but I had also managed to evade my personal shadow for a short while.

If my father ever found out I managed to make it out of the house and then almost get hurt while ditching the guard he hired to protect me, I was going to be in serious trouble. Not only would I be on the hook, but my cousin Leo would also get a stern punishment. Jonathan would surely lose his bodyguard job, which that would not be the end of the world if I were being honest with myself.
