[Bonus chapter] Tonight's party

"They know we're here… they'd been waiting."

Heaven squinted her eyes at the building, only to catch a faint glint from one of their windows. Her breath hitched as her pupils dilated before a faint bang was heard. 

BANG!

"Boss!" Bear reacted on instinct, leaping to Heaven to save her from the bullet. The two of them rolled to the side, holding Heaven securely in his arms. 

For a moment, everyone stood frozen from their spot. They held their breaths on instinct, wide eyes at Heaven and Bear. Neither of them thought of hiding as they were already standing behind the vehicle — at least Dominic, Dane, and Axel were already behind the vehicle. Therefore, there was no need to hide them for protection. 

"Are you okay?" Bear inquired immediately, watching Heaven slowly get up to her knees. 

"Yes." Heaven placed a hand on his chest to push him lightly, casting him a quick look. "Thanks."
