Rebirth, Seduce My Ex-husband-Chapter 35: I Can Take A Bullet For Your 2

"If you move, I’ll shoot!"

The man said, pointing the gun directly on Stacy who just stood there, her face hard as ice.

"Don’t! Do not shoot... Let her go, she’s innocent!" Rowen said as he tried to get closer.

"You stay right there! Don’t okay smart with me Quinn. I hate it bitches poke their noses in my business, how dare she." He groaned as he pushed the gun deeper into her.

Meanwhile, George who was behind Rowen placed his phone at his back as he dialed 911 putting it on silence.

"What exactly do you want, why do you want to harm me?" Rowen questioned.

"Why won’t I harm you, you heartless and wicked man. You don’t even recognize me.. bastard!"

"My name is Raymond, and you sent my entire company to bankruptcy two years ago, do you remember now?"

Raymond stated as upon hearing that Rowen just sighed. He had forgotten about him.

Two year ago, Raymond had brought a business contract asking for his cooperation but it was a stupid idea.

He refused to work with them and getting a rejection from someone like Rowen brought Soo many disapprovals so no one decided to work with him any more.

Rowen didn’t even have to do anything and yet his company was bankrupt. What a completely stupid reason to try to kill him.

"Just let her go, call any price.. I’ll give it to you," Rowen stated but Raymond was smarted than he looked.

"Lies! The moment I let her go I know the police will surround me. Now here’s what we are going to do, I want you to transfer all you shares and company to me.. now!"

He said as he threw over a bunch of files as seeing it, Rowen felt like laughing, "Do you really think I would do any of that?"

"You have no choice, except if you want this woman to die!" Reymond shouted.

"For a woman that I don’t even know do you think I would think of giving all my life’s worth to you, you must be insane!"

Rowen said as he tore the files, scattering it all over the place.

Seeing this only made Reymond mad and with that opportunity, Rowen gave Stacy a slight signal and she caught on it immediately.

With a hard nudge, she kicked Raymond in his private part as he groaned and hissed in pain, loosening his tight grip over her and with that she was also to escape to safety.

And immediately the police surrounded them all, "Put down your arms.. I repeat out down your arms!"

The police commanded wmbut Raymond wasn’t going to give you like that.

Muttering all his straight he pulled out his gun and shot at Rowen.

"Bang!"

The sound of the gun was heard as everywhere immediately fell silent as the police bounced on Raymond before he could take another shoot.

Meanwhile, Rowen stood there in shock,vhis mind processing everything. He wasn’t the one that got shot, instead it was Vanessa.

Before the bullet could hit down, Vanessa had jumped to his rescue but she wasn’t fast enough to miss the bullet and it unfortunately landed straight at her arm.

Bleeding heavily, she collapsed on Rowen’s arms as Rowen’s mind immediately turned blank. His sweat cold, as he felt a tight pain leach itself over him.

"V-vansssa?" He called out shakily as he held her tight, her entire clothe soaked in blood.

"Why did you do that?!" He shouted as Vanessa’s face immediately turned pale, showing how much blood she was using.

Using all her straight, Vanessa muttered with a faint smile, "Oh Rowen, I’ll happily take a bullet for you any day."

"Why?"

"Because.... I love you!"

And with that she passed out as everywhere turned black.

The ambulance quickly came and rushed Vanessa straight to the nearest hospital as Raymond was taken away by the police meanwhile, Stacy tagged along.

***

Now at the hospital, Rowen couldn’t stop pacing around in front of the emergency room. He was absolutely restless as the worst of the worst kept on coming to his mind.

Just then, the door opened as the doctor made his way out.

"Doctor, how’s my wife?" Rowen asked immediately as George and Stacy stood at the other side awaiting the doctor’s response.

"Don’t worry Mr. Quinn, your wife is out of danger. We should be thankful it had hit her at her shoulder and not near her heart unless she would have died on the spot. She’s alright for now the bullet has been removed. She can get discharged in two days time, for now.. you should let the patient rest."

And with that, the doctor made his way out as Vanessa was then transfered to a ward where she would rest and heal.

Turning on Stacy, Rowen muttered, "Thank you for your help today, I indeed appreciate.. but how did you know the dinkiwas poisoned?"

Rowen asked confused, he has to know if she wasn’t working with them or something.

Smiling, Stacy answered, "I was just working when I overheard their conversation to poison you.. I wanted to mind my business but I just couldn’t so I came to help. I’m sorry about your wife by the way, it was svery brsve of her though!"

Stacy said as Rowen just nodded, "Well thank you... If not for your help I would be dead by now. Here, take this!"

Rowen said handing over to her a business card.

"George will send you back home, if you need anything absolutely anything don’t think twice before calling."

Nodding, Stacy accepted the card as she turned around and followed George.

With Stacy gone, Rowen walked slowly into Vanessa’s ward, the weight of everything pressing down on him.

His footsteps were heavy as he entered the room and saw her lying on the bed, eyes closed, her body still and pale.

The beeping of the heart monitor was the only sound in the otherwise quiet room.

Taking hold of Vanessa’s hands, he muttered softly, "I’m sorry!"
