Realizing pain
It was a hot chase for Collin the previous night that he witnessed a murder, and was startled by the loud voice that demanded to know who he was immediately. He knew that if he was caught, then it was straight death without plea.
Immediately he heard the voice, his intestines and every part of him froze immediately. He stopped breathing and remained in a spot as he made sure not to make any sound. He was hiding behind a broken door that was in the temple with trembling body, as the hand darted directly to where his face through the order side and pointed a gun.
Through his eyes and right before him, the hand pressed on the gun and shot a bullet which flew out of the cold metal, and pierced through the window it aimed at.
More than he had ever been scared to death in his entirely life, Collin remained on the spot without moving or making a noise. He was scared out of his mind, but he couldn’t afford to die.
After a while, the person turned to the other side of the building and shot again, which resonated its sound across every corners in the room. And, the figure made their way out of the space immediately, as Collin still remained unshaken without shaking so thankful that he had escaped his death.
And again another shot came from outside into the building again as it shot through where Collin was, and grazed his arm during its projectile from outside into the building. That was when the pain became too unbearable, as his second hand held around the affected arn firmly.
The young billionaire struggled to hold his throat without screaming in pain and succumbing to his senses, that would finally ended up killing him without any doubt if he was caught. Few tears dropped from his eyes since he had to hold the pain in, and swallow his guts instincts to yell.
Twenty minutes away from that time he was still standing in pain as his laps were trembling already, knowing well that he had to remained there because the aimer was too cautious. Too meticulous too.
An hour in the spot, he finally gave up and crumbled to the ground in pain, as he held his arm that had been cut deep by just the grazing bullet. He was weak, tired and numb.
Even how he drove out of the place and got home by himself, was something that he could not understand. The only thing he was thankful for, was that he didn’t pack his car in where it could be seen. Else, he would probably die before the next morning.
His assistant took him to the hospital to get his wound dressed the next day, and he also informed the cops about the corpse of the man that had been killed. He didn’t tell them whom he saw though, that assassinated the young guy and tried to kill him too.
‘How could he? First, he needed to find Ria As soon as possible.’
Collin didn’t answer his assistant when he advised him to calm down and take it easy, after he found out that Alex had called that morning to confirm if she was with their boss. It really became an hassle for his heart that she could really be missing, as she changed into fresh clothes and started the search too with them.
Her phone number was not going through because of the pool accident, and no one was able to figure out where she was. It made him so anxious and scared. There was no way forward to locate her whereabouts, and he had to really think fast on how he would locate her.
Time was running fast.
He had no choice but to get help immediately from some special agents, and they decided to try other methods of tracking her. They tried to think of other ways out that would also be effective, and soon there was an option when Collin said that he knew her email address. It was almost inconsiderable because even her phone signal was not trackable.
Luckily, they found out that they could track her with her email since she had sent an email message that day, and they began hacking into it immediately.
After so many minutes of trial and determination, they were able to figure out where her location was beeping the red dot in the city. Quickly, Collin entered into his car and set on the the road, while driving the car like a lunatic with an insane speed.
Unfortunately, he got caught by the road cops, and had to pay some fines and settle some other things before they allowed him to leave. It almost became his first record and scandal. The headlines for the tabloids would be nasty.
‘Billionaire heir drunk and driving in high speed. Is he tired of life?
He had to remain calm and collected throughout the remaining journey, even if he was so anxious and unsettled in his heart. Even his bandaged hand that was still in pain, he struggled to drive real fast.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
The struggle was real and scary, and there was nothing more than witnessing a loved one’s death. Collin found the gate of the gallery locked when he arrived there, which made him confused about what exactly was happening. It was said that Aria was in there, and yet there was no sign of people inside.
He thought long and hard about what to do and he called the hacker again to confirm if the location was right, and the guy told him that the location of the logged in email address was still inside the building.
Without any more time to waste, Collin banged on the gate to see if someone would answer, but there was not sign of anyone which was weird. The gates was a see-through built metallic bar gate, that he knew that he would be have to trespass. but Carefully he climbed over the bar, and ended up scaling over the fence.
Haphazardly, Collin ran towards the building and tried to open the door, as he began to inhale some kind of odour they were escaping outside. He wondered what could be going on with the door that was locked if someone was still inside, and trued to force his way into the door which was almost impossible.
“Aria! Aria!!” He called frantically, and rushed to the side of the building to see what was going on. He peeped through the window and he was shocked.
Breaking through the glass window, and scaling in, Collin didn’t mind the gas. He only wanted to save the lady that he could never allow to die. She was lying helplessly and lifelessly on the floor, and he was holding his breath in so as not to inhale the harmful smoke.
With his bleeding arm, he picked her up the floor and carried her quickly towards the window, and was able her out quickly. The struggle was too much to handle as he ran with her in his arms towards the car, and put her out over the fence carefully since the door was not open for them to enter freely.
Into his car he dropped her, and entered into the driver’s seat as he ignited the car immediately. He didn’t want to think, and he didn’t want to know why. He just wanted her to be safe at first, before he would try to understand the situation of what he had just had to witness.
The only things that was clearly branded in his mind that he was desperately hoping for, was that she would not be dead already regardless of whatever gas they had made her inhale. As he died roughly through the road and phones a doctor immediately, he prayed desperately in his heart that she would be okay and fine.
And after everything, he had so many questions to ask her. Things that had not looked normal after he met her, and was wondering why they were that way. Things that he noticed several times she he wondered what was happening.
Some findings and research that he had done confirmed some confusing theories. But he wasn’t even all about that. She had to wake up first from the slumber that she had fallen into. Else, there was no way that he would ever remain sane.
There was so much that she had not told him. Even if they had met three years later and were not totally best buddies since she was even tight-lipped, there were still basic things that she was not telling him which was not making him feel good. And even if he didn’t have the right to pry, he was really curious to know what exactly was going on.
With a bandaged arm that its stitches had unloosen over again, he carried her to his villa that was nearest and called the doctor to come immediately.
‘Please stay with me, ria,’ he pleaded in his mind.
