Sunshine Girl

Chapter 16

(Noah's POV)

Three hours I tortured this guy, and nothing. I gave up and let them kill him, he's worthless.

I walk upstairs and open my office door, I can see Olivia and Oliver kissing and I sigh. "Have either of you seen Bella?" I ask when I notice she's not there.

They turn and look around for a moment. "I saw her walk outside for some air before we started to kiss," Olivia says, looking at Oliver with what Bella would call 'googly eyes'.

I nod and go to the back door, stepping out and looking around. I call for Bella but she doesn't answer. I come back inside a little worried.

"She's not out there, did either of you see her come back in?" They think for a moment and I can see the realization set in.

Neither of them saw my Bella walk back in.

Now I'm panicking.

"Call everyone, search this entire estate, I want security footage pulled up." I rush to my office and call Liz.

"Bella's gone. Come now." I can hear loud footsteps from people running around, my office door is pushed open and Lizzy slams it shut.

"Security footage from the last 5 hours was sent to you," she leans over and pulls it up on my computer.

We sit there for the next 10 minutes watching the sped-up version until we see Bella walk into the woods. About a few minutes later someone is seen on the edge of the woods holding her limp body in their arms.

Anger rises in me and I can almost feel the steam come out of my ears. "Guns. Everyone. Now."

Liz nods and walks out, I can barely form sentences. I need my Bella back. She doesn't deserve this. She's innocent. I just played into this, she shouldn't even be here. 

I get up and unlock my safe, pulling out my guns and strapping them onto my body. "Boss, everyone is getting ready, I have units stationed all over the house as well in case they try to come here," Liz opens the door. I walk out and see Oliver with a scared Olivia. 

"Go to the safe room, stay there till I come back with Bella," I say to my brother. He gives me a nod before walking off with Olivia clinging to his arms. 

I follow Liz outside of the house and get into the car. 

time to get my Bella. 

~Time skipp~

We arrive at the mansion and I get my men positioned around the whole place. We have cut the cameras off and set them back so it's on a loop of the grounds being empty. the only camera we left on was the front one so they could see our car pull up. 

I get out and pull my gun on the two men standing outside of the door. "Move and you die." 

They both stay still which amuses me. 

I put my hand up and signal my guys to take them and make two of my guys stand in their place. I place my gun back into the holster and walk through the doors. I'm met with Nick and his father standing with guns drawn, pointed at me. 

"Where is Bella?" I ask. I won't ask again and they know this.

"She's okay, it's you we wanted anyway," His father, John, speaks. I nod my head and clench my jaw. 

"What do you want from me? You broke our agreement." 

"No, you did!" John's voice is slightly raised. "This was all a trap from the start, we knew you would fall into it because you are oh so obsessed with that useless girl." 

"Do you want to know where her father is? because I seem to have found him very fast," I just need to distract them for a few minutes longer. 

Nick scoffs and pulls his gun out from it's holster. I take mine out and Oliver mimics my actions. "Show me Bella and I'll hand over her father," I say. I push my hand up and signal my men to bring in her father. They pull him in and I take the bag over his head off to reveal I had done my part. 

"Give me Bella or everyone dies," I threaten. I glace at my watch. One minute. 

"Bring the girl here," John shouts. Bella is brought in, she's fighting against the guards with everything she has in her. That's my girl. I smile when she locks eyes with me and I mouth "get down" which she immediately understands. Me, her, and Oliver all duck down right as the gunshots rip through the air. I shoot at John and it hits his chest, Nick yells out and tries to charge at me but my men shoot him in time. 

I find my way to Bella, pulling her close to my chest and covering her ears. "My bella," I whisper, kissing her head. She looks up at me with a weak smile and I look down to her hands. Blood? Why was there blood on her? 

Bella moves her hands and shows me a gunshot wound in her side. No. No my Bella is okay. She's not hurt. I got to her in time. 

No. 

This can't be happening. 

"Bella no," I start, she reaches up and kisses me softly. I rip my shirt off and quickly press it against her side. I pick her up and start walking to the door. 

My Bella was not going to die. 

I feel a pain in my shoulder, I ignore it. When I get outside I see Liz. Yes. Liz would help. "She was shot. Help her." I show the wound to Liz. She nods and looks at me with concern and says something I cant hear. My ears were ringing now. We get into her car and she zips out of there. 

I looked down at Bella who was in and out of consciousness. "Stay awake for me baby. It's okay I'm here okay? You need to stay awake," I tell her, tapping her face lightly when her eyes close. I don't take my eyes off her till I feel the car stop. I throw open the car door and run into the emergency room. I spot a nurse and shout to her. "Help! she's been shot, someone in this goddamn hospital help me!" 

A team of nurses and a doctor rush to us, taking Bella and putting her on a gurney. I let a tear fall, for the first time in a while. I cried. For my Bella. 

"Sir? can you hear me? You need help too," A Nurse says, gesturing to my shoulder. I look down and notice the blood pouring from the gunshot in my shoulder. All the pain suddenly comes back and I fall to my knees. 

"I'm ok. Help my Bella," I say. The nurse helps me onto a gurney. 

"She's getting help. Let us help you now." I just nod, feeling light-headed. My eyesight starts to go black. 

God, I hope my Bella is okay.
