Chapter Seven

DARIO

I’m not waiting anymore and make my way to her room. The elevator door opens to the sound of gunfire. I’m out and running with my gun in my hand, knowing it’s coming from her room. I burst through the door of her suite and round the corner to the bedroom and see her standing there naked. She’s got a gun perfectly aimed at me, her arm not quivering in the least. A military style knife is in her other hand. Her body is poised to kill whoever comes in next.

No hesitancy. No fear.

Her body is perfectly still. The knife has blood dripping from the blade. There is blood on her arm too. Across her face and chest is more along with wounds and her scars. But what causes me to pause are the fresh gunshots to her body. One in her side and the other in her thigh. She doesn’t seem to realize she’s hit as she’s ready to battle some more.

She lowers her gun and looks around at the bodies like I am. Men in full tactical body armor lie dead. Two have been shot in the head. One has his neck cut, and the last has been shot and stabbed.

I watch as her knees wobble and she starts to go down. I race to her side and hold her to me, not caring about the blood and gore she’s covered in.

“I’m sorry. I was sent to kill you. But I can’t.” With her eyes puffy from crying and her bleeding in my arms, I know she’s telling the truth.

I can’t tell my father this.

He’d kill her himself.

I know she’d never hurt me.

I dial the number for a doctor I keep on personal retainer and tell him to meet me at the manor, then I take off. I leave everything in the room except for the comforter off the bed I use to wrap around her. I have to get her away from here. I know what happened. She didn’t do what she was sent to do, so they sent people to kill her.

I will find out the truth from her soon, but first I need to make her safe and make sure we aren’t followed. I cover her head with the comforter and carry her out over my shoulder like a rug. I set her down by the loading dock and pray she’ll be safe while I go get my car. I rouse her and give her my gun. Her head lolls to the side, but her eyes are open and focused on the exit doors to protect herself.

When I have her in the passenger seat and we are finally on our way, I text the number to initiate the plan I’ve been working on all day. He’ll help me.
