"I can't believe how dumb this fucking bastard is!" I said when I parked my car.

"What do you mean?" Quinten asked.

"You guys were staying at her old apartment!" I said agitated. I still don't trust this guy.

He didn't say anything. I quickly got out of the car and ran towards the entrance when I felt a hand grab my arm and pulling me back.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?!" I yelled.

"You can't just barge in like that! He's fucking armed and not in his right mind! I won't let you be this reckless and put Emilia more in danger than she already is!"

He's got a point. I took a deep breath. "What do you suggest?"

"I'm pretty sure that he's holding her in the bedroom. There's a fire escape at her window. We can climb up the ladder and hopefully sneak her out without Killian noticing."

"I'm not going to let him get away with this! I'm going to fucking kill the guy!!" I yelled.

"Don't be stupid Robert! You're going to get yourself killed and even if you manage to take him down. The cops will be all over you and not the cops but the entire freaking world! Last time I checked, you're world famous. What's the entire world going to think of you if word gets out about all this?! You're not just endangering your reputation but Emilia's too. Her story is going to be known in the press. Do you really want that for her?!"

Fuck this guy! I hate him but he's right. "What are we going to do about Killian then?! He's not going to stop! He's just going to come back over and over again until he has what he wants."

"We'll deal with him later! Our first priority right now is that we get Emilia to safety!"

I nodded and started running around the building towards the escape ladder. I climbed up as fast as I could until I was at her window with Quinten right below me.

"Shit." I whispered.

"What?"

"Curtain's closed. I can't see shit."

I tried opening the window. Yes, it isn't locked. I slowly pushed it open and pulled the curtain aside. Right when I was able to glance into her room I felt two hands around my collar and pulling me inside. I dropped to the floor and felt a heavy weight sitting on top of me. He started punching my face. I didn't register fast enough what happened to do anything yet but suddenly the punches stopped and the weight on me has been lifted.

I stood up feeling dizzy but regained my balance fast. I saw Quinten who was on top of Killian throwing him punches. This is my change.

"EMILIA!" I yelled and started looking for her.

"EMILIA!" I found her! She was in the bathroom. Her wrists and ankles were tied together and she had tuck tape covering her mouth. She looked up at me and I've never seen this look in her eyes before. She was dead scared. She started crying when she saw me. I then noticed her bruises. On her face and arms. THAT FUCKING BASTARD HURT HER!! I ran over to her and held her in my arms.

"It's ok now baby. I've got you. I've got you. I'm going to get you out of here! Hold still ok."

I slowly pulled the tape of her mouth and she winched.

"I'm so sorry baby." I started to untie her wrists and ankles.

"Robert.." She said in a weak, cracking voice.

"Shhht baby. It's ok. I'm taking you home with me."

"Sophie?" She asked.

"She's safe. I called Max. He's with her now back home. Don't worry."

"ROBERT!!" She screamed and pushed me away from her.

I heard a loud bang. Everything went down in slow-motion before my eyes. I stared at Emilia who was falling back to the ground. She had a painful expression across her face. I glanced down at her right shoulder and saw blood coming through her shirt. I clutched my heart. I felt a deep stab in it. I was hurt. It pained me like hell to see her laying on the floor like this. I didn't even knew what I was doing but I found myself tackling Killian who was standing in the doorway to the ground. I sat on top of him and threw the hardest punches I have ever thrown in my entire life. I could feel tears rolling down my cheeks, a lot of them. I saw him reaching for his gun that was thrown into the hallway when I tackled him. He couldn't reach it. He turned himself to me and punched me hard in the ribs. He took his chance and pushed me off of him and punched me in my stomach and then my jaw. He went to grab his gun and I saw Quinten reaching for it too and I heard another bang.

I looked up at Quinten. He was holding the gun in his shaking hands. I looked down at Killian who was laying motionless face down on the ground. I didn't waist anymore time staring at the two and crawled over to Emilia. I grabbed her in my arms. I placed her head against my chest and rocked her back and forth.

"Stay with me baby. You're going to be ok. Just stay with me." I whispered to her.

"Ro- Robert..." She whispered.

"Baby open your eyes. I'm here. Everything's going to be fine. Just stay awake Emilia. Please.. QUINTEN!! CALL THE FUCKING AMBULANCE!!"

"I love you." I heard her say just below a whisper.

I froze. I looked down to Emilia an stared into her eyes. Her eyes had lost her beautiful bright, blue color She was smiling at me. Her face relaxed and she closed her eyes.

"No, no, no, no, NO! Don't do this to me Emilia!! Don't you dare and say that you love me like this! Don't you dare and say this as a goodbye! EMILIA!" I was crying hysterically. My tears were falling on her cheeks.

"EMILIA WAKE UP!!!" I held her closer to me and placed my head in her neck. She wasn't moving anymore.

"Don't leave me. Please. I love you, I love you so much.." I whispered in her neck.
