Chapter 59 - GUNFIRE (2/2)

They were confused, but then they saw the beast behind them, a little distance away from them. But she was not alone, there was someone else with her. A man to be precise.

As if on cue, they rushed toward the silhouette of the man who was putting down the white beast he was holding on the ground once again.

===================

Gael didn't know how long the effects of the poison that Lise gave him would last, but he was annoyed because he felt vulnerable at a moment like this.

One thing was for sure; someone was trying to take his wife away from him and he wouldn't let it happen. Nobody could take Lise away from him.

Gael might have lost his power for nobody knew how long, but it didn't mean he was powerless.

As of now, there were around twenty men, fully armed, escorting them toward the emergency exit door, where they would take the stairs to the top building, where a helicopter was waiting for them.

From afar, they could hear the commotion from the direction of the wedding hall, where the guests were being guided to go out of the building. The fancy wedding ended up in the most awkward situation possible. For sure, this would be in the headlines of the news tomorrow.

But, Gael could care less about it, since there were more important things that he had to do.

He had to get out of this place, and bring Lise somewhere else where nobody could reach her or find her. She was his.

”I can't…” Lise stopped running, she almost fell if it was not for Gael, who caught her body in time. ”I can't run anymore…” she panted and felt the oxygen leave her lungs. She was no longer wearing her wedding dress and now only wore a casual shirt and jeans, so did Gael.

The whole team came to a halt when Lise stopped running on the eighth floor, there were another ten floors for them to climb before they reached the top of the building.

Gael, on the other hand, immediately bent his body and carried her, without losing a beat, as if she weighed nothing. ”Move,” he commanded grimly. They wouldn't stop moving before they reached a safe place.

===================

Blue thought she would die when she watched how the girl aimed her gun at her without the slightest doubt in her eyes. She wanted her dead.

But, when the sound of her gun being fired rang through this dark basement, Blue didn't feel any pain except from her ankle that had been shot already.

Slowly, she peered her eyes open to look at her surroundings, only to find someone carrying her protectively.

Only then did she breathe in his scent and finally realized who this man was.
