Bella tried to say something, but when she felt hot liquid start to drip down her arm near her chest, she was shocked to realize that it was Bryan who took the bullet for her.
"B-Bryan... you... why..." Her eyes felt blurry, knowing this man was risking his life to protect her.
"WHAT THE FUCK!! WHO ARE YOU!??" Andreas Corby shouted in surprise, seeing a stranger jump so quickly to protect Bella. He walked closer to look for a chance to shoot Bella, but the man’s body protected her completely. He couldn’t even see her feet.
Pop!
Another bullet hit Bryan’s abdomen, but he stayed in his position even though he felt like dying.
"Damn it! I will blow your head off if you don’t move, mofo!" Andreas Corby cursed.
When Andreas Corby was about to shoot again, a few Quantum Capital guards stealthily approached him from behind. Still, before they got close enough, Andreas noticed them.
Only now did Andreas Corby realize that he was surrounded by several people ready to attack him. Seeing the many guards trying to be heroes, he laughed evilly. It made his blood boil, making him want to kill them all.
"Oi! Do you want to be a hero? Or do you want to be dead meat!?" Andreas Corby shouted while pointing his gun at a nearby guard. He didn’t wait for them to react and squeezed his pistol.
Pop!
Pop!
Two guards immediately fell to the ground, causing the others to stop moving. Some onlookers even started running into the building, hiding to watch the tragic scene unfold before their eyes.
"Call the police..."
"Call an ambulance..."
"OMG! Why is this crazy man killing everyone?"
"Fuck! That’s our former boss? Andreas Corby?"
The frightened whispers of the people in the lobby made the atmosphere in front of Quantum Capital increasingly tense and frightening.
...
While Andreas Corby was dealing with the others, Bella tried to calm her mind. She had to do something to stay alive, or she will never meet Tristan and her children again. Instantly, her eyes felt damp as a fearful question echoed in her mind, ’How could I die like this?’
Bella tried harder to calm her mind, thinking fast about what she should do in this terrible situation. She knew no one would come closer to help them, and Andreas Corby seemed to have already lost his mind.
Somehow, her feet felt numb; she couldn’t fight a man with a gun, or she’d also end up taking his bullet.
Thinking that no one had a gun in the Quantum Capital building added to Bella’s stress. She remembered only Tristan’s people had one. Since she no longer worked in this building, those people had been withdrawn and returned to work at his office.
...
Hearing what happened behind him frightened Bryan. He couldn’t do anything to help. The only thing he could do now was shield Bella until backup arrived. Now, he hoped their Basecamp saw his urgent signal after he pressed the alarm before jumping to protect her.
"Ma’am, I feel nothing in my right shoulder and leg. I’m sorry I can’t do anything to silence that bastard. Please wait for someone to come to help. Don’t move—" Bryan’s voice snapped Bella back to her sanity and senses.
’Wait, Bryan has a gun? He is Tristan’s man!’ A warm feeling slowly appeared in her heart. She still had hope to survive. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
