  Chapter - 55

Vanessa's POV:

I grabbed Seth's hand as he just made me hide in one of the corners behind a wall. Seth was about to leave but I begged, "Seth... don't go...."

His eyes met mine, he looked at me for a wide moment with pity and worry, till another gun shot rang. I screamed and covered my ears, my fearful teary eyes were pulling myself to him trying to hide.

Seth whispered in my ears, "Vanessa.... just count till 10... Promise.... I will be back...."

I shake my head in 'no'

Seth caressed my cheek as he whispered, "Sugar... do as I say..."

He left me there, I was shaking, the sounds got louder. I spent the next few moment in terror. I was so scared, terrified of this time.

Worried about him... worried about myself....

Will I make it alive out of here?

What if something happens to him?

I was shutting my eyes close as all of these thoughts were scattering my senses.

I didn't realize how long I stayed there, until... Until I felt his warmth.

I felt two arms on my cheeks.

When I opened my eyes, I was red because of the cries. My breath was already heavy in fear, But I sighed as I saw Seth.

He looks emotionless, but I can sense the assurance in his eyes. I heard Terry from behind, "Let's get out of here...."

Seth kept his eyes on me, I embraced him without thinking much. I wished I do not come across today again.

I whispered in fear, "Seth.... I... am... scared...."

I thought I lost you.... I thought I will never see you again.

I felt his tight embrace, Seth whispered in my ears, "I am here, Sugar.... right near you....."

I sobbed in the embrace, I am worried about you....Seth, I don't want to lose you....

He said in my ears, "Vanessa... do me a favor, close your eyes as we get out of here...."

I parted confused, his cold face made me uneasy. Seth whispered wiping my tears, "Babe... trust me... You don't want to see this.... Close your eyes...."

I closed my eyes still unsure, I felt him picking me up and carrying me out of there. I made sure to be buried in his arms, not to look....

Seth's POV:

I threw the vase as I warned, "I want Marcos Davis under the ground by tomorrow...."

Terry looked unbothered, he said, "Master.... We are tracking the attack, rest assure.... I have it control now.... Just cool down..." He advices the last part.

I glared at him warning, "My women almost died because of this carelessness!!!!..."

I looked away banging my hands on the table, I said, "How I let my guard down?!!!!!... Damn it!!!!!"

I am beyond anger right now, this frustration is burning my mind, I want revenge... I want them to suffer..... I want to make them pay for stealing my time with her, for making her this miserable...

Terry said, "Chill down.... isn't it a normal thing?.... You get attacked and then you attack them back..."

I glared at him turning to him, Terry said, "You know this very well.... this a side of what we do.... Don't worry.... things like this won't bother us... never did..."
