Elena (p.ov)
"Wedding ?? who's wedding?? why should I select a wedding gown??" I asked Mr.Garcia confused, he chuckled and motioned his underling, that guy brought a box and handed it to Simon. He opened the box and showed it to me, it was a diamond ring.
"Elena miller..I know that I am the most hated person to you in this world right now but I am sure you would learn to love me in the future, marry me and save your brother" he said standing before me with an evil smile.
This corrupt person who almost killed my brother and kidnapped him from the hospital bed has the nerve to stand before me and ask me to marry him?? he is the reason for all my problems today and he wants me to marry him?? I knew that he might kill me but I couldn't control myself from slapping him at that moment seeing his wicked face before me.
I slapped him so hard that his lip started bleeding, "how dare you?? how dare you ask me to marry you after putting my brother through so many troubles..you have the nerve to ask me to marry you?? "i have asked furiously, I am sure my face would look like a cherry tomato right now.
That shameless fellow wiped the blood from his lips and smiled"whoa.. the lamb has turned into tiger huhh..I like it, whoa..look at your mistress's face James, her face turned red, Isn't she cute??" he said pinching my cheeks with his disgusting hands and I immediately stepped away from him with disgust.
"Mr.Garcia I know that my brother owes you some money, it is true that you have helped him in his difficult times but you can't make him do illegal things in return for that money, i can pay you some amount with my savings, I will give you the remaining amount later," I said trying to reason with him, but he just stared at me without saying anything.
"What a precious thing you are?? no money can give me the happiness that you will give me by marrying me. Now come on dear hurry up .. I can't wait anymore, I wanna marry you ASAP and take you to whichever country you want for our honeymoon" he said tracing my lips with his gun scaring me.
"I..I can't marry you, please leave me and my brother alone" I said looking away, he grabbed me by my hair bringing me closer to him, I turned my head away with disgust, "No matter what you feel about me, you have to marry me, otherwise, your brother will be dead by tomorrow" he said pointing the gun to my throat.
I didn't understand what to say because I would rather die than marry this disgusting man but my brother's life is in his hands if I say something rash he will kill my brother, "will you marry me or collect your brother's dead body tomorrow??" he asked me looking into my eyes, his eyes have some cruel aura which scares the living lights out of a person.
"Boss..there's a vehicle approaching, what should we do??" his underling James said pointing his gun towards the entrance door, "wait for my signal and then shoot the door" Simon said leaving me and pointing his gun towards the entrance.
we heard footsteps approaching the door and Simon signaled his goons to shoot, they continuously shot the door that it broke down and fell but surprisingly there was no one at the entrance, all of them looked at each other confused then suddenly I heard shots and I closed my eyes with fear.
when I opened my eyes i saw Adrian Smith holding a gun and standing at the entrance like a predator, i looked around and saw all Simon's goons were dead except James. Simon looked scared for a second looking around but chuckled seeing Adrian smith.
"whoa..its been ages my old friend, that was some grand entrance I must say," Simon said standing before Adrian, officer Adrian is really tall which makes people of average height like Simon look short before him, "I had to make such entrance to meet a sleeky bastard like you Simon.." he said pointing his gun at Simon and saw the diamond ring in his hands.
"So your boyfriend is here to propose to you huh..you are a great actress Ms.Elena miller I must give you that," he said looking at me angrily, I didn't understand what to say or what to do at that moment, I wanted to ask for Mr.Adrian's help but he has already assumed that I am with Simon, so I just looked at him help
"well .. I have had my fun with your girlfriend..now I am bored with her so i am just thinking of marrying someone lately, after all I need an heir to carry forward my business" Simon said grabbing me by my waist, Adrian looked furious and pointed his gun at Simon's head" I will kill you right now bastard.." he yelled at which Simon laughed coldly.
"Kill me ..kill me if you want, if you kill me.. another one from my gang will take my place " he said and shoved the gun away, "Officer Adrian I really admire you for your determination, why don't you join my gang instead of wasting your time in that useless department, we sure would pay you better than them" Simon said with an evil smile.
"Hmm..you are right I can't kill you right now Simon, I am not kind enough to grant you an easy death but i..will take something precious from you," he said grabbing me and pointing his gun to my head, I got scared but didn't resist because if he shoots me at least I would be free from all these problems. Simon who was acting cocky before looked scared for the first time, seriously?? do I really matter to him??
"If you step forward...I will shoot her head into pieces" Adrian said slowly walking us back to his vehicle holding me with one hand and pointing his gun to my head with another hand, James pointed his gun towards us but Simon stopped him.
while he made me get in his car I heard a shot from behind, I looked back and saw James smiling. I saw Adrian getting inside holding his shoulder which was bleeding but he didn't look affected and started driving"oh no..sir your arm is bleeding" I said trying to see his wound but he shoved away my hand and said," just shut up.."
After a few seconds, I saw Simon's vehicle chasing us, I saw Adrian's face but he didn't care and continued driving faster, Simon chased us for a few minutes, later three other vehicles joined him and started shooting at our car, "Hold the steering.." he said and opened the top of his car, while i held the steering, he stood up and started shooting the cars chasing us, after shooting at them for 5 minutes he sat down and took the steering from me.
I looked at him confused because there was still one car chasing us,"Seems like your boyfriend doesn't give up on you but I am out of bullets and the car is leaking" he said and drove into a narrow alley,"get down .."he said and we both got down and hid behind a dust bin, Adrian threw something at his car when Simon's car approached his vehicle.
The car exploded lighting up the dark alley, I held Adrian's shoulder and closed my eyes with fear, after a few seconds there was silence. When I slowly opened my eyes I saw Adrian looking into my eyes with some strange emotion, for some reason, I couldn't look away, his deep grey eyes hold an unknown emotion which I couldn't figure out, we both got startled hearing a gunshot.
Simon appeared along with some goons in the dark alley but he didn't see us, he looked furious and badly wounded because of the explosion, we both started running until we saw one half-open shutter. we immediately went inside and Adrian closed the shutter completely, I looked around the dimly lit room, it looked like some garage. Adrian sat beside a wall panting heavily, he looked completely exhausted and pale.
I heard footsteps approaching us "Search..search everywhere and find them, kill that son of a bitch and bring my Elena" we heard Simon yelling, judging by the sound of his voice he was very near us almost standing before the shutter. Adrian held a rod and stood near the shutter, but after some time we the footsteps faded away and we didn't hear any voices outside.
I felt relieved and looked at Adrian who has collapsed on the floor breathing heavily, "officer..sir...wakeup...wakeup" I said patting his cheek, but he fainted much to my horror, I didn't understand what to do at that moment and I don't even have my phone to call anyone for help.
I removed his jacket and T-shirt to check his wound, I must admit that he's got some great body but I shook my head thinking it was not the time to check out him.I have noticed that he was shot in the shoulder and bleeding heavily, I tore his t-shirt and wrapped the wound to stop the bleeding.
I checked his pockets and found his phone but it was dead, I can't open the shutter and go out for help because the goons were still outside so I sat beside him putting his head on my lap sighing not knowing what to do. After some time his breathing became slow, I immediately checked his heartbeat nervously, it was there for god's sake.
I have searched the whole place for some water but there wasn't any water around, then I saw a small greasy tap in a corner, I found a disposable cup in a car and filled it with water. I crouched beside Adrian and sprinkled some water on his face, he slowly opened his eyes "sir...have some water" I told him holding the cup near his lips.
He stared at the cup and me but didn't drink the water maybe he was uncomfortable to drink I thought and sat beside him holding him in my arms and motioned him to drink, he hesitated at first but drank the water and fell asleep like that.
I was exhausted after all that running so I fell asleep for some time with him in my arms, I woke with officer Adrian coughing and sweating heavily, I checked his temperature and it looked like he got fever. I checked the time it was 3 am, so we have been sleeping for 3 hours maybe the goons might have gone I thought and opened the shutter a little and looked outside.
It was dark and there was no one around, I slowly crawled out and saw that there was only one street light illuminating the street, I slowly walked further in search of any pharmacy, luckily there was a day and night pharmacy at the end of the street.I slowly walked to it checking around cautiously.
There was an old man behind the counter, "what do you want dear" he asked nicely "umm..can I get some bandage and medicine for fever" I asked him nervously, he looked at me suspiciously because of Adrian's blood on my Tshirt but brought me some medicines, "Are you ok dear..do you need any help??" he asked me packing the medicines in a cover and handing me "umm..can I borrow your phone for a second??" I asked him hesitatingly.
He smiled nodding and went to get his phone, "we didn't find them anywhere...boss will kill us if we go without his fiancee, hurry up... search every corner" someone said nearby, my eyes widened hearing that and I immediately took the medicines along with some bread after leaving my golden bracelet on the counter and ran.
"There..she's running away ..catch her" I heard them saying, I ran faster into the dark alley and tripped on something and fell down. I saw them entering the alley and hid behind a trash can and closed my mouth, they searched all over the street and left, I left a sigh of relief seeing them gone and got up.
I looked around the area, it looked different from the place where we were hiding, I didn't remember the way to our hiding place, so I searched here and there walking through the alleys, suddenly someone held me from behind closing my mouth.
