Gabriella POV

"Chairman?"

Jack: Yes. Im your boss. Well technically. I prefer not to be known to my staff. Except those important people. Its too complicated to carry out plans if too many people knows you.

"And what plan is that exactly?"

Jack: Wouldnt you want to know?

"Either way you're gonna kill me so why not. Humour me."

He laughed.

Jack: True that. But I dont think Ill kill you. You are too beautiful Gabriella. I might just keep you mine and hidden. At least Warren will never find you.

He pressed his lips forcefully onto mine causing me to struggle against him.

"You're crazy!"

He laughed.

Jack: No. Im a genius. I buy out this company. Used it to transport some items and make my millions.

"What items?"

He smiled and went to one of the crates and instruct the men to open it. He took out a statue and smashed it onto the floor causing me to flinch.

There hidden in the statue were weapons and ammunitions.

Jack: You see. If I sell this to pirates, druglords and even terrorists, I could make a lot of money. But how to transport it. Best way to knock off suspicions is to use a courier company. Brilliant right.

I was horrified.

"Then why murder them? What did they do?

Jack: They refused to partake despite generous compensation. I thought letting them resign wouldnt arouse suspicions but then you decided to investigate. Which you eventually share with me.

They died because of me?

I couldnt breathe.

Jack: Aww dont worry babe. I wont tell anyone.

"You son of a bitch!"

Jack turned to the rest.

Jack: Nobody touch her. Ivan, keep an eye out for her. The rest, lets start loading.

As they moved out, the door exploded hurling them backwards.

There were a battle of gunfires as I cowered down trying to stay out of it.

The gunfire lasted for a few minutes which seemed like forever. My heart was beating so fast, I thought I would die. Bullets were flying everywhere I thought it would hit me somehow.

Zach: Elle? Elle? Are you ok?

I looked up to see Warren in a combat suit.

I was too scared to say anything. He cut off my rope and got me up away from the battle.

I saw Jack pointing a gun to Warren's.

Jack: YOU!

I pushed him off and I felt a sharp pain on my right chest as the bullet went through it.

Zach POV

"Elle! Gabriella! Oh no no no!"

She looked up at me for a moment before losing consciousness.

"Elle. Open your eyes. Stay with me."

D Don: Zach, we gotta bring her to the hospital. She needs medical attention.

"Where is that asshole?!"

D Don: He's dead Zach. I shot him. Go attend to her. She's losing blood.

I carried her and ran out just as an ambulance arrived.
