Diana

Diana quickly buckled her seat belt. Ethan drove like he was possessed. His gaze sharp and scary.

Diana looked at his side view and couldn't believe she finally dragged him into her mess.

'How did he even managed to get here? Did he have super powers now?' A lot of questions passes through Diana's head, while she watched Shane's men through the rear view mirror, running after their car on foot while shooting nonstop.

"We lost them." Diana said, after a while of crazy driving.

Ethan face turned sideways and caught site of the blood on the seat and her body. His eyelashes fluttered nonstop, while his eyes went bloodshot.

Diana went silent. Her breathing slowing down. She has lost too much blood and feeling very dizzy. The only thing that's keeping her conscious right now is Ethan.

She needs to hold onto her conscious till they got far away from this place. She realized her man was crying after she heard him sniffed his nose.

Her heart broke into a million pieces for the second time in one day. She looked up at his side profile and saw him raised an arm to clean the drop of tears from his right eye.

He kept driving at full speed, making turns nonstop, just incase they were being followed.

Diana didn't know what to say at this rate. She wanted to say she's sorry, but her lips were quivering. Her eyes got wet immediately.

After a few minutes of driving; Ethan suddenly stopped the car. The day is getting bright already, as the sun is slowing rising.

He pulled off his shirt, while Diana looked behind in fear that they are still being followed, but their back was clear.

He pulled Diana's hand that was pressing on her waist, while blood seeped through her fingers. She blinked and didn't stop him.

He lifted her top. He swallowed hard on his saliva and bit hard on his lower lip. "How are you feeling?" he asked as he folded his shirt and tied it around her waist to reduce the blood lost.

Diana grunted as he tied the cloth, while her breathing changed. It's slowing down more and more, and it's getting hard to keep her eyes open.

Ethan looked up at her eyes with fear written all over his face. "Please hold on." he pleaded, while Diana nodded her head. He started the car once again and drove off.

"I'm sorry." Diana spoke up in a weak tone. His hand kept shaking, making Diana felt guilty.

Ethan couldn't believe the situation they are in. He couldn't believe his woman is covered in blood beside him right now.

His heart hurt deeply and fear took over his entire being. 'What if he hadn't come after her? what if he had stayed a few minutes late and missed her while she ran in these conditions, with some guys firing shots at her? What if she had died? What will he do?' all sorts of questions kept popping up, which was why his hands were shaking.

"Don't say anything. Try to hold on please." he said to her and kept driving.

After making sure they couldn't be found; he drove into a hospital premises. He rushed out of the car and went around to her side, opened the door and picked her up in his arms.

Her head rest on his chest weakly. She looked exhausted, while the glow in her eyes has faded. Only her irises can be seen.

"Stay with me!" Ethan screamed as he ran towards the entrance. Two nurses and a doctor appeared. He placed her on the wheel stretcher, while the doctor examined her, kept talking to her to keep her conscious and instruct one of the nurses to get blood bags and other instructions as they pushed forward.

They rushed her into the emergency unit, while Ethan was asked to stay behind. He squatted down on the floor and stared at the blood stain in his hand.

His tears dropped as he looked at his blood soaked inner wear and his bruised arm. He couldn't believe she had broken glass in her skin and still managed to stay conscious till now.

While rushing her inside, he kept getting poked and grazed by them. His head got cloudy. He lost his balance and sat on the floor.

A nurse rushed out from the unit and asked him to sign some papers, and also not to sit on the floor. He kept following her instructions like he was being hypnotised.

He did everything he was asked and dropped his card for them. After confirming he's not just an ordinary man; the treatment changed and more higher ranked doctors took over.

He just remained standing still, while muttering, "please save her." as response to everything that was being said to him.

He rested his back against the wall, with his arm left hanging besides him. His memories flashed to blood, blood and blood again and again.

The woman he was cuddling a day ago was now covered in blood. Each time more blood bags was taken inside the room; it felt like it was his blood that was being taken. His face kept draining off its colour.

…..

Meanwhile.

Shane was receiving emergency treatment as well. His entire body is now covered in burns.

His skin were peeling off, while he couldn't stop wailing till he was sedated.

He was undergoing surgery, while his guards were preparing for revenge.

They were very angry. Shane's assistant, who was the one who tampered with Stella's parent's car, on Shane's order then; was now the leader.

He was in control, while the others cooperated. They couldn't wait to have their revenge. They've been meaning to get back at Nathan's people for their loss, but Shane didn't give the command.

The assistant named Michael asked about Diana and got told they missed her, but they are still searching.

They contact the rest of their people, while two of them remained at the hospital with Shane.

...

Meanwhile.

Stella has finally opened her eyes. She just opened it and remained at the same spot on the bed.

The two guards looked at her confused, but still kept watching her. That's their order after all.

Stella stared blankly at the ceiling. She neither turned her head, do anything, nor think anything. All her beliefs were that Diana was gone. She was taken from her at the end.

All her sacrifice, her hopes, everything! the day she finally got to hear her daughter called her mom was the day she was taken from her.

Everything was gone, her hope, her life.

While Shane's men were busy planning their attacks at their underground base, far away from his residence; Alexander's people arrived at Shane's resident.

They came to rescue Stella and arrest Shane. If he didn't surrender in the name of law; then violence it is!
