Chapter 0171
My heart starts going haywire and panic begins setting
1. in.
I shake her and her b*dy tips. I catch her before she falls to the ground. Twisting her, I
make it so that she’s laying on my lap. I whisper her name again, but she’s still
unresponsive.
With shaky hands and bones laden with fear, I check her pulse, afraid of not feeling
anything. I sigh in relief when I feel it. It was a bit weak, but it was there. I breathe a sigh
of relief. I don’t know what I’d have
done if I hadn’t found a pulse.
Tears start filling my eyes. We were stuck here. Emma was bleeding and weak. I was tired
and aching and we were right in the middle of the enemy’s camp.
I don’t stop them when they fall. I was just fed up. Why was all this happening to me now?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI wanted
nothing, but peace, but I am yet to achieve that. I hated this. Hated everything that was
happening.
I keep my finger on Emma’s pulse just to assure myself that she was okay. We will
probably never be close, but that doesn’t mean I want her to die.
“Look what we have here?” a mean voice says. “Tired of running? Or is your friend dead
already?”
I look up to find a scary looking man staring at us with nothing but evil intent. For a
moment I see my life flash before my eyes.
Remember when I said that I don’t care if they find us? Well, I take those words back. I
didn’t mean any of them. I’m definitely not ready to die.
“Please” I beg him as I watch him raise his gun.
Part of me knew he wouldn’t shoot me. For Reaper’s plan to work, he needed both me and
Emma alive. Still, that doesn’t stop me from being afraid.
He cocks the gun and removes the safety latch.
“Boss doesn’t want you dead” he says, confirming my suspicion. “But that doesn’t mean I
can’t hurt you for the trouble you’ve caused us.”
The evil glint in his eyes widens. Looking at him, I see the evil that resides in him. He
didn’t choose this kind of job because the money was good or because he had no other
choice. He chose it because he was genuinely evil and he liked to hurt others.
I close my eyes when I realize there is no escaping him, Waiting for him to just get it over
and done with.
I hear a shot, but I don’t feel pain or the impact of the bullet. I frown and open my eyes. I
am shocked to find Rowan standing before me like an avenging angel, with the man on
the floor and a bullet hole in his
skull.
“Rowan” I whisper in relief, but then it quickly turns into dread when his eyes shift from
me to Emma, who

was unconscious.
Damn it. I had forgotten about her.
I don’t know which fate was worse. Facing Ronny or Rowan.
“We need an ambulance. She got shot and is bleeding. She lost consciousness a few
minutes ago” I tell
him, my voice barely above whisper.
He doesn’t answer. His face was stony, and that scared me more than anything. I was sure
of one thing: Rowan was going to retaliate against me when Emma wakes up and tells him
that she took a bullet that
was meant for me.
I look down at her before looking back up at him. He was pissed off. Really pissed off. As I
watch the emotions play in his eyes, I can’t but wonder if Emma had been right. Maybe we
should have just stayed in the F***ing room like she had suggested.
