I’m thankful Alonso was face down, and all I could see was his broad back. Please, God, let him be alive!
How long before Tiero will send someone to check on me? How long before he will know something is wrong?
Tiero was right to insist on so much security, but what good did it do in the end?
Who are these goons?
Who’s taking me this time?
More importantly, will I make it out of this alive?
Chapter Twenty-Two
Ella
Terror.
A state of extreme fear.
By all rights, I should feel it. Moments ago, I did.
But now?
Numbness has taken over my body, and my mind is foggy.
I’ve seen people die tonight. People I knew. When I close my eyes, Oriana’s lifeless ones stare at me… a bullet hole between them.
A sob breaks through, but it doesn’t seem to come from me, yet I feel my body heave.
I’m detached from my body and mind… like I’m suspended in air.
While I’m in this kind of stupor, all hell breaks loose behind the guy who just shoved me into the backseat of the car. Bound and gagged, I’ve never been more helpless in my life.
Kidnapped… again. Though this time, I’m sure it’s not by someone declaring his undying love for me. No, whoever took me has more sinister intentions.
A terrible sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach tells me I’m not going to make it out of this alive.
And just like that, the terror is back.
My body trembles uncontrollably, and tears keep streaming down my face.
I roll onto my side and pull my knees to my chest. I wish I could hug them and make myself into a ball, but my hands are tied behind my back.
Bursts of gunfire and yelling fill the air. It seems to come from all sides.
Tiero is here.
He’s found me.
My eyes shoot open as hope floods every cell of my body. They haven’t taken me to a second location. I might make it out of here yet.
Bullets hit the car, and it noticeably sinks lower. Did they shoot out the tires?
Outside the car, Scarface fires aimlessly. Seconds later, a bullet to his chest makes him fall backward.
Oh my God, why did I look?
Too afraid to close my eyes, I press myself as low in the seat as possible, praying I will make it out of here in one piece.
