Chaos In The Darkness; Salvatores's Salvation-Chapter 298: Into the arms - I

Evelyn could not manage to walk properly for the life of her. When they first heard the gunshot in the hallway while escaping the building, both of them crouched down as if they were men shooting at them, recognising that they were leaving the premises.

It had taken them a while to realise that they had been coming repeatedly from the same distance. And when they finally had the courage to look around, no one was in the hallway.

So the crawled out of there.

The sound of the gunshots did not stop and she almost felt her legs give out at the last one which sounded the closest.

"Shit!" Gia shrieked. "I knew that shit would go down sooner or later and here we are!" she whispered hurriedly covering more ground. "I prepared this car for this, I knew shit would go down but the hundred million? That’s the bonus."

Evelyn had to give it to the woman. She had actually found a way around and had a backup plan ready. The hundred million was definitely a bonus.

Gia Pointed her into the direction of the passenger seat that Evelyn took to before they heard another gunshot. It was so near and so loud that she bent down, only for her foot to press over the length of her gown.

Within seconds, Evelyn was on the ground, sideways.

"Shit," she hissed, before rebalancing herself and attempting to crawl under the car.

"Evelyn? Love?"

Crawl, crawl.. what the fuck? Did her ears just ring or did she actually hear Salvatore?

"Evelyn?" Sound of gravel crunching under the shoes of someone made her turn towards her side. Evelyn had crawled under the car, and now she was looking at someone’s feet. "Come out, love. Please."

It was him!

A cry of pain, anguish, fear and maybe everything else that she could have felt in that moment left her before she finally made a move to get out from under the car.

The moment she placed her hand near his visit to get out, Salvatore squatted and pulled her from underneath the car.

"Baby," he whispered against her ear, hugging her as she sat on the gravel while she continued to squat down. "Oh, baby,"

Her cries did not stop.

She was found. He had found her.

*****

By the end of it, no one knew for how long, Evelyn had finally given up on crying and just settled on leaving against him letting him pull all her weight.

"Evelyn—"

He was cut off by a gunshot, and then another and then another. Evelyn could feel him stiffening up under her skin.

"Baby," Touching her change very delicately, Salvatore angled her chin towards him. " You need to go with Michelle. I will come for you, yes?"

He was going away? Panic ensued inside her. He was going to leave her and go back there?! 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"No!" She jumped up and held onto his beck. " not going to die. There-there are people that will kill you—"

"There are my people inside, Evelyn." He pulled her hands away only for someone to hold them behind her back. "He is Michelle. You know Michelle. he will take you back to the hotel."

She couldn’t agree. Shaking her head, Evelyn begged, "Please—"

"Evelyn," he cut her off, firmly, "Go, I will be back."

With the harshness of his voice and the film expression, it was the dawn talking to her and not her husband. Probably knowing that she was not going to get up on her own, Salvatore got up first prompting Michelle to pick her up before dragging her all the way to the car waiting for her with two men inside.

He was already charging back inside with his entourage of men, guns blazing, head on to fight for her and other people.

Other people...

"Michelle," Evelyn gasped, "the other people— Girls! What about them?"

He was sitting next to her and answered, "we have recovered them. Most of them and those who have already left the premises are being tracked down. Please do not worry, Donna. The girls will be brought back safe and sound."

Maybe, she nodded. If God was merciful.

Evelyn did not know what she had initially expected. Maybe she was going to be taken to a public place, hotel or something, but they went to an apartment instead.

"Why here?

"We change cars and you can change clothes if you want. Something comfortable to walk in." He glanced at her heels.

Evelyn glanced at her feet as well. They were red and dirty. "Sure," she muttered. she could do anything to get out of this dress that was showing more of her skin that it covered.

It was the second floor that the apartment was on. The other two men got rid of the car while Michelle supported Evelyn upstairs.

For once, the man did not make a face at the sight of her. Instead she could even see some sympathy on his always neutral face.

Michelle left her alone in the room, after pointing out at the obvious bag of clothes before closing the door behind him. He did not lock the door which gave her the confidence that if anything happened, he would come inside.

As much as she tried to change into the set of clothes quickly, every bone in her body pained.

She gasped at the sudden shooting pain in her joints The moment she raised her arms to pull through the shirt.

Sitting on the bed half naked with only a thin set of panties on her, Evelyn breathed in deeply. The pain was so much that she was considering asking Michelle to dress her up.

So she chose the easy way The blouse, she buttoned it first hand, only leaving the top two and open before bunching of the material running her hands through it and as far as her hands would go, she raised the top and pushed her head through the space.

One down, she huffed before repeating the almost same thing with the pair of pants. Salvatore could have chosen pyjamas but now, he had to go with something far more presentable.

Salvatore... please let him be okay god.
