Where Did We Go Wrong?

Chapter 22

Liliana's POV

I gulped.

Liliana- W-what do you mean?

I stuttered.

Vanessa- I mean you don't belong with Derek! He's mine and I'll make sure he is.

She shouted. She turned around and grabbed something from the table in front of her.

I looked in her hand, she revealed that she had a gun.

The minute I saw that my blood went cold.....was...was she gonna shoot me?

She walked towards me with a small smirk on her lips.

Vanessa- Now.... let's end this.

She said as she placed the gun to my head.

I shut my eyes tightly, feeling tears form.

Liliana- Wait....

I said in a small voice.

Vanessa- What?

She spat out, irritated.

Liliana- Please....

I looked up at her.

Liliana- You don't wanna do this....please.

I pleased, I felt tears begining to fall down my cheeks.

I was about to die....my life flashed before my eyes.

I wasn't gonna be able to see my mom, neither my dad, nor my sister.

Or Derek......

*Oh, Derek I'm sorry that I didn't believe you when you told me about this woman. And I'm sorry I let those officers take you away*, I thought in regret.

Vanessa- Are you telling me what I can and can't do?!

She yelled in anger.

Liliana- No no ofcourse not!

I cried.

She held the gun firmly at my head. I took a deep breath and waited for what was gonna happen.

I have to except that I was a bad wife. When Derek told me about this woman I didn't listen.

Now I'll never see him again. I have to....except my faith.

I suddenly heard a ear piercing gunshot and a loud thud that followed.

I gasped internally.

I was trembling like crazy, I didn't dare open my eyes.

??- Liliana....

I heard a soft voice. And I knew exactly who it was.

My eyes flew open to see Derek kneeling down in front of me.

I gasped, he smiled toothfully at me.

Derek- Oh baby....

He touchedy cheek.

Derek- I thought I was about to lose you....

Tears formed in his eyes.

He pulled me to his chest and hugged me tightly.

Derek- I'm so sorry....

He cried.

Liliana- It's okay

I whispered.

Officers flooded the room, the officer in charge walked towards me and Derek.

Officer- I'm truly sorry ma'am...it wasn't your husband after all.

He said in a sincere tone.

Liliana- I know and it's okay.

I took a last look at Vanessa as she was lying on the floor in a pool of her own blood.

I almost feel sorry for her, if she wasn't so crazy. I would've actually tried to help her.
