Shy Lover |Book 1

Straight through the stomach: Chapter 50

Ana's POV:

We are now in the car heading to the airport. I did all my goodbyes yesterday at the park cause I did t really feel like having a whole get together.

Luke's still confused on why I acted how I acted yesterday but I told him it's fine.

But I do have to tell him one day. I just can't tell him now.

"Ok we're here" he says unbuckling his seat belt.

I sigh and do the same. I open the door and step out.

He got out my suitcase from the car and he carried it in the airport for me.

"Why have t you've been talking?" He asks as we walk.

"Nothing" I say

He stops in his tracks and looks at me. "It can't be nothing"

"Really Luke it's nothing. I'm sorry of how I acted yesterday I just wasn't....in the mood" I say softly.

"Flight 323 for New York!"

"Your flight is ready" he smiles.

"I know" I pull him down and being my lips to his. He kisses me back harshly. I pull away.

"I love you. Okay? And never forget" he says

I nod my head. "I love you too. I'll call you when I land"

He nods.

I peck him one more time before going towards where they are boarding the plane.

........

About Six hours later and I'm walking out the airport looking for Aria.

I walk out the exit as I see Aria waving at me through the window of her car.

I walk up to her car with a smile on my face.

As I put my hand out to open the door I felt a sharp pain in my lower stomach. My hand reaches down touching where I feel the pain. Everything goes in slow motion as I see the blood spreads on my clothes.

I soon hear Aria calling my name but I'm too shocked to even answer her.

I've been shot.
In the stomach.

Aria was infront of me and her eyes go wide as she sees me. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh"

My eyes started to shut as I hear her scream. "Someone call the ambulance!"

My feet give out as my body hits the floor and the place suddenly turn black.

Luke's POV:

"Why the fuck wasn't I informed?!" I shout at the worthless people infront of me.

"You found out an hour ago that she was being followed and your just now telling me?!"

"Get the fucking plane ready and get out!"

As they depart from the meeting room Eric walks in.
What the duck does he want now?

I sit in my chair and look at him with a scowl in my face.

"You don't have to be so hard on them, you know" he says sitting in a chair of me.

"What is something happens to her?" I say on the verge of tears.

"Nothing's gonna happen to her" He tries to reassure me.

"I don't care, I'm going" I say standing from my chair. Just then one of my men comes in.

"Sir the plane is ready"

I walk out if the meeting room without saying anything to Eric and make my way outside.

I approach my car before getting in and starting the engine.

As soon as the car starts I speed off and make my way to the airport.

.....

Why does she have to be so far?

Luke you can do this. It's just one more hour until you can hold her again.

Ok I can do this.

What can I do in an hour other than worry about her?

Im in my jet. Alone.

Who am I gonna talk to?

The waiters? No

They only flirt with me and I can't deal with that right now or I might punch one of them in the face.

I take my phone from my pocket and go into photos.

As I look on the photos of Ana and I from yesterday I realize that she's smiling and looking happy but in her eyes- it's filled with sadness.

I don't know what's up with her. We promised we wouldn't keep secrets from each other and she's keeping one right now.

After scrolling and scrolling through my photos for what seems like forever we finally land.

And I swear I'm like a happy little boy that saw his mom come home with a puppy.

I step out of the plane and my driver pulls up at my feet. I step in and go to call and call Ana.

The phone rings but no answer.
I call her multiple more times and still no answer. It's been almost 9 hours since she landed and your telling me she didn't charge her phone?

I tell the driver Ana's address and he nods with a 'Sir'

I don't even have Aria's number. Or even Ace's. I don't want that assholes number in my phone.

As he stops at Ana's house I quickly get out of the car and sprint to her door.

I knock rapidly on the modern door but absolutely no answer.

What the fuck?

My phone started ringing which made me look at it to see an Unknown number calling.

I answer it putting it to my ear.

"Who's this?" I growl at the person

"Luke, it's Aria" a sobbing Aria says

"An- Ana's"

My face grows worried.

"Ana's what?!" I shout at her

"Ana's been shot" she finally says

"What hospital are you at?" I ask

"Umm- I'm at Presbyterian Hospital" she says

"Ok I'm on my way"

Before she could say anything else I hung up the phone.

I get back in the car and tell the driver to take me to the New York Presbyterian Hospital.
