My confusion was immediately replaced with horror upon the sight of blood dripping down his hand.
"NOOO!" I screamed, dropping to his level.
This wasn't happening. I held Alex in my arms praying that wasn't the last time I was holding him. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I shouted for help.
"Move and I swear that'll be the last thing you do." A guy, silencer in hand, facing the guests threatened.
"Adrian!" I gasped when he turned towards the stage, making his way up. "Yes, my love. Let the b***ard die now, he was a pain in the arse anyway. You were mine the moment I set my eyes on you. Now come to me, no one can stop us because..." and he looked at his silencer smiling.
"Over my dead body! I forgave you, Adrian! After what you did I still allowed you my friendship!"
"And you thought I'd settle for 'friends'? You're too naive my love. I wanted you. You have no idea how much self-restraint it took seeing him hold your hands, so happy. I hated how you even looked at each other! But I had to wait, let him think he had you then make him watch helplessly as I made you mine."
Anger boiled inside me.
Adrian had been obsessed with me. He stalked me everywhere. At first, Alex warned him to stay away until the day they got into a deadly fight when Adrian tried to kiss me by force. But I still forgave him, he looked so guilty when he apologized that I felt sorry for him and offered him friendship instead. And now this?! I punched him...hard. The anger and pain I felt were driving me crazy. I wanted to kill him for doing this to the person I deeply loved. I couldn't turn into a criminal like him though.
"Hazel! He's dying!" Shouted my best friend, Mia, who had managed to get on stage and was holding Alex. I ran back to my husband who was no longer writhing but silently slipping away. I shook him.
"Please stay with me, Alex! You can't leave me like this. I love you!"
I could barely control my overflowing tears.
"I'm never letting you go. I love..." before his eyes closed.
No! Noo! "HELP!"
Suddenly there were men rushing towards Alex as the police got hold of Adrian. "I'll come back for you! Bury your so-called husband for me," he said winking.
"No! Alex will live!"
***THE END***
