Cody knew David would help Alexa and called him an idiot for even stepping out of line. Alexa noticed Jade pointing a gun at Cody and tried to distract him as she shot at him around the house. The staff were getting free one by one and attacking the members by throwing expensive items they took from upstairs. Alexa helped Anthony free from the ropes and helped him up. Suddenly, they heard police sirens alarming nearby, and Nolan asked who called the cops. Alexa lied that maybe some of the staff did.
As Anthony tried to walk, he was shot on his thigh by one of the gang members. Cody shot Jade, who jumped behind Alexa to stop him from shooting her friend. Alexa was shocked and let Nolan and Anthony escape while she carried Jade outside. Cody noticed and heard the police siren, so he shot at Alexa’s leg, making her fall. This made Nolan stop to check on Alexa.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Alexa’s mind raced as she lay on the ground in agony, holding her bleeding leg. She knew she had to stay focused and keep fighting. Cody was her ex-boyfriend, and she knew him well. She knew he would never stop until he got what he wanted. She looked up and saw Nolan’s worried face as he kneeled beside her.
“Are you okay? Can you move?” Nolan asked, his voice filled with concern.
Alexa nodded weakly, gritting her teeth against the pain. She knew she had to be strong, for herself and for Jade. She glanced over at the unconscious Jade, lying on the ground beside her. She was relieved to see that her friend was still breathing.
“We have to get out of here,” Alexa said, struggling to sit up. “The police will be here soon.”
Alexa’s mind was spinning, her thoughts a jumbled mess. She tried to focus on the pain in her leg, hoping to distract herself from the fear and confusion that threatened to overwhelm her.
But the pain was too intense. It was as if a hot, searing knife had been plunged into her flesh, tearing through muscle and bone. She could feel the blood trickling down her leg, sticky and warm.
Every breath she took was a struggle, as if her lungs were constricting around her. The pain was spreading, radiating outwards from her leg and engulfing her entire body.
She could feel herself slipping away, drifting into a dark and terrifying abyss. The world around her seemed to be fading, becoming nothing more than a blur of shapes and colors.
And yet, even in the midst of her agony, she could hear Nolan’s voice, calling out to her, urging her to stay with him. She clung to that voice like a lifeline, holding on to it with every fiber of her being.
It was the only thing that kept her from succumbing to the pain, the only thing that kept her from slipping away into the void. She focused all of her energy on that voice, willing herself to stay conscious, to fight through the agony.
It felt like an eternity, but eventually the pain began to subside, receding into a dull ache. The world around her started to come back into focus, the shapes and colors becoming more distinct.
Alexa let out a ragged breath, her body trembling with exhaustion. She felt Nolan’s arms around her, holding her close, and she clung to him, grateful for the comfort and the safety he provided.
But even as she lay there, wounded and broken, she knew that her ordeal was far from over. She had to find a way to stop Cody and his gang, to put an end to the violence and the chaos that threatened to tear their world apart. She had to find the strength to keep fighting, even in the face of overwhelming adversity.
And with Nolan by her side, she knew that she could.
Nolan helped her up, and together they started to move towards the front door. They could hear the sound of police sirens growing louder by the second. Alexa’s heart raced as she limped towards the door, her mind racing with thoughts of escape and survival.
