George's POV

"I need you to hold onto me tight" I didn't need to be told twice, I wrapped my hands around his stomach with my head on his chest with my eyes closed waiting for what to happen next. My heart is thumping in my chest, people have been trying to kill me but never put bombs on my car or cut the brakes but I guess I pissed Hendricks off so much that he is set on killing me, in the worst way possible yet it is his fault, he signed the contract, no one forced him to do it, he us lucky we gave him nine billion for his brilliant idea that is giving us a lot of money.

I heard the door open, Leo wrapped his hands around me and I waited for the impact with my eyes scrunched closed, I felt myself fall. I held onto Leo tighter as we rolled onto the ground with me yelling out in fear until we stopped rolling but I still didn't open my eyes. My biggest fear is death and having faced it now just makes me stop breathing, funny how I am scared of the thing I face a lot "Hey" I opened my eyes staring into Leo's chestnut brown eyes staring back at me "I need you to breath" I moved my hands in panic searching for my bag, it has my inhaler but I left that in the car AGAIN "Look at me and breath....focus....your eyes....hey....in.... George breath in and out"

His voice is becoming distant by the minute and the thought of him leaving just made me panic more losing my breath. I am struggling with my throat, choking. My lungs are hurting, my chest, my throat. Everything is hurting and I feel like I am giving up, gasping trying to catch air until I felt shocks pass through my lips making me shiver forgetting what was happening. I felt like I was being calmed down and I was getting oxygen in my lungs, I took in a much needed breath opening my eyes to find Leo's lips on mine. For a moment I was mesmerized but his lips until what he did hit me, I pushed him away from my face "Did you just kiss me" I hissed leaning on my elbows

"No, I gave you mouth to mouth" he clarified and I can see relief in his eyes as he looked around, I looked around too to find our car is burning in the middle of the road. That was a scare I got, being in a car with a bomb I wonder if I can trust cars again, alot of cars are in traffic watching the burning car "It's not like you have never kissed men before, I should be the one arguing" I heard him mumble staring in a distance.

"If I kiss men it still doesn't mean I will kiss whoever I find, I have standards" he moved his eyes to me but didn't reply though his eyes were judging me. He stood up handing me his hand, I took it getting up looking at myself and I was glad I didn't get that many bruises just some scratches here and there, great thing I am alive and not a barbecue in that car "What's next?"

"We get a car and I take you back home" he replies and with his hand still in mine we started walking "Oh shit" Leo said staring somewhere, I followed his gaze 'Holy shit' I really pissed Hendricks off, I am seeing five cars with men on top holding guns "Let's go" Leo pulled me when I was still in shock, I hope they are not here to kill me.

I was replied when one of the guy yelled something pointing at us, my eyes widened when they started shooting directly at us. I yelled looking back in front to see where we are going "Leo slow down am tired"

"We have only moved two steps" he said pulling me but I don't think I can go on as I am trying to calm myself. I am scared that I am going to get killed but if I run, I will die before they can get the chance to finish me off. I think realization hit him that I can't run or else I will faint or die. I yelled when a bullet hit right next to my feet "Get on my back" I didn't question, truthfully I can't run. I tried years ago and it didn't end well. I hopped onto his back and he started running, the bad thing is we are in an open area where we can get shot easily. We need to reach the cars in the distance or we are dead since he is running slowly and the guys are in cars driving directly at us

"Leo the guy is going to shoot us" I squealed hiding my face as if that will save me from the guy pointing the gun at us. Bullets became bullets and I was glad when we hid besides a black parked car, bullets didn't stop getting fired at us hitting the car. Leo opened the car door telling me to enter, I did with my head down and he did the same getting in the driver seat.

"Keep your head down" he ordered, I hate being ordered around but this is a matter of life and death so I have no other options, either do what he says or die and I would rather get ordered around than get killed. I squeaked when the back window broke and I hid under the car even more. He pulled the wires from under the wheel, connecting them as the car started, he drove away from that intense bullet exchange "Are you injured"

"Not physically but I am emotionally" I should be used to this but it never gets easier, each and everyday I make new enemies but I think Hendricks is just taking it too far, his company would have run bankrupt all in all, we saved him by giving him some money paying for coming up with the idea. I hate it when I am being shot at. We sat in the car in quiet, no one said a thing because we have nothing to talk about, even after a month and a few weeks of him working for me we have no conversation which isn't a surprise because I never talk to my bodyguards but I would use some words to destruct me from the moment that has just happened, my phone rung again, I pulled it out of my pants and it is Amelia "Hello"

"Where are you?"

"I was just attacked but we are driving back...." I trailed off when I saw a road block with cars lining up, several guys with guns blocking the road that leads to my house. Leo stopped the car looking at the road block, they raised their guns and started shooting at us "Amelia I will call you later"

"Wait I was telling you to not go back home"

"I know, it is blocked" I said hanging up as Leo turned the car around at a high speed it squeaked before he drove back where we came from. Leo's phone rung and he picked up his eyes never leaving the road, his face set in a straight line. He put his phone to his ear, he didn't say anything other than nod and I wonder if the other person saw it taking it off of his ear, he stared at it for a couple of seconds before putting it back in his pants right after he took a turn when cars were coming from in front "Who was that?"

"Mr. Harris, all houses are intercepted. He gave me the location of a safe house I should take you to until further notice" Why is he talking like a robot, we are being chased and he sounds so calm in this kind of moment. Our car got knocked from behind and Leo almost lost control of the car as it wobbled on the road. The car then appeared on our side after Leo has gotten the control back, it was trying to get us off of the road as the one in the passenger seat pointed his gun at me. My breath was coming out heavily, watching the guy who is ready to pull the trigger 'Am going to die, I don't want to die, I do.....out car stopped making their car to be ahead of us.

Leo brought our car behind the guys driving into them to get them off the road, I was starting to calm down because we were in control when another car knocked us from behind 'This is bad' We are going to get crushed in between. The one behind is pushing us infront while the one infront is stoping, this just gave me an asthma attack, this is a bad way to go. To die like a sandwich, I would rather go by a bullet "Leo my inhaler" I chocked out struggling to breathe.

He was given on just incase I lose mine, I left mine in my bag that got burned "It was in the car, everything is fine" he comforted and maybe I would have believed him if I wasn't in two cars that were trying to make a topping on a sandwich, I fought with my breath more.

"L...Leo"
