Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

Several men moved toward my dad's location and took his body. The place, once silent, was now filled with gunfire and blood.

Silver was nowhere to be found, but his men kept increasing in number.

I didn't know where he went, but if he ran away, he was nothing but a coward. If something happened to my mom, he would be the first one I'd go after. It was all because of me.

"Are you okay?" Evangeline paused briefly, sensing my trembling. She held my stomach. "This is bad for the baby. You can't stress yourself too much."

I was surprised when she handed me the knife. She grabbed a gun off the floor and fired at more enemies approaching us. She moved so quickly that I couldn't help but gape, especially as she spun the gun in her hand before glancing at me. She was trained. She was admirable.

"What the hell, Sapphire? Now's not the time to admire me!" she snapped. "Damn it, where is Ash? He was ahead of us, yet he's still not here!"

My eyes widened at her words. I was about to ask her about Ash earlier, but I'd completely forgotten due to everything happening around us. "Ash already knew I was-"

"Shit!"

I didn't get to finish my sentence as we were ambushed. Evangeline and I didn't expect the enemies coming from the front. She pulled me toward a place filled with boxes and hid me there. "Haze- No, oh my gosh. This is not good," she said, noticing Haze was far from us and now hiding. He was shot in the leg.

"ed to lure them away, and I need you to do your job." Evangeline held both my shoulders. "Outside this place, there's a car waiting for you. That car will take you to my hidden guesthouse." I nodded.

"Now, count to three and move fast." She picked up more guns from the floor, cursing as she nearly got shot in the hand. "Please, don't be selfish. Everyone is protecting you, yet you want to die. If you won't live for yourself, then at least live for the child."

And for Ash...

At that moment, I snapped back to reality.

"One, two, three, run!"

On cue, I ran as fast as I could, holding my stomach. My baby didn't deserve this. It felt like history was repeating itself. It happened to my mom before... and now it was happening to me.

I was running for my life, but the difference was... I had friends to save me. I also had Ash, my shoulder to lean on.

But as I ran, I couldn't help but wonder where Ash was. Did something bad happen to him? I couldn't help but worry.

When I got out I quickly hid behind a large container, seeing that the enemies seemed endless. The night was dark, but I could still make out the surroundings thanks to small lights nearby. Suddenly, I saw Ash shooting at his own men.

"Ash!" I called him, the happiness laced in my voice.

Just his presence brought me peace. Even though I was crying, I managed to smile at him, and though he didn't return my smile as he usually did, my smile remained. "I'm glad you're here-"

But my words halted as a bullet had pierced my chest. When I touched it, I saw blood on my hands. My eyes widened as I looked at Ash, but his expression remained unchanged.

It was pure... anger.

"W-Why?" I asked, staring at him in confusion.

"Die, Sapphire," he said in a low voice... and in a tone I couldn't recognize anymore.

The man I love the most shot me and left me here, dying with his child in my womb.

"SAPPHIRE, please, don't fall asleep. Don't you even dare close your eyes!" I can hear Evangeline shouting beside me. "Wake up, bitch! You cannot die, remember that!"

She gripped my shoulders, shaking me aggressively. I want to complain since it only makes me feel dizzier, but I don't have the energy to speak.

I saw tears streaming down her face. I'd never seen her cry for anyone. ver thought she would cry for me despite how much she hates me.

"Evangeline, stop," Mason said, now standing beside her. "All of us are hurting. Stop making the pain worse."

I closed my eyes. It was true. I thought the pain would never end as I felt the blood pouring out of my body, but it wasn't just physical pain that consumed me.

It was a pain in my heart that I couldn't fathom. I wanted to die earlier. But ver expected Ash to be the one to do it himself...

With each second that I remember his eyes staring at me before he pulled the trigger, my heart aches along with the wound where he shot me.

At that moment, I couldn't see the Ash who once protected me, loved me, and saved me countless times.

He was like the Devil... just like his father.

She was calmer now than before, but tears were still falling from her eyes. I felt her hand gently take mine. It was warm.

"I will help you, okay?" she reassured me with a faint smile. "The Colemans will pay for this. Fight for your life... and for the child inside you."

I smiled as I tried to caress her hand, though I was too weak to do so.

You'll regret doing this to me, Ash.

Haze was in one of the rooms as the doctors cured his leg. Mason also had cuts and bruises all over his body. I noticed him weakening earlier, but he held on, staying strong for Evangeline and me. He's like a brother figure.

As for Evangeline... She wasn't shot or injured, but she was traumatized. That's why Mason was doing his best to calm her down. No one knew why she was so shaken except for me.

At first, I thought it wasn't Ash. I prayed to God countless times, hoping I was only seeing things, hallucinating because it was dark, and I was exhausted.

But Evangeline was my witness-she also saw how Ash shot me.

If it wasn't for her, I would have died on the spot. She caught me before I hit the floor.

"Sapphire-no, no. Don't close your eyes-oh fuck!"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

I looked where she was staring. I raised an eyebrow as I noticed the Coleman men gradually leaving.

Was it because Ash had already shot me?
