Chapter 0235

Fuck. What did this have to happen to her? Why would someone do this to her? Were there

signs that I ignored? Was she in danger, and I didn’t notice?

The questions keep bombarding my head as Gabe drives out of the underground parking. I

would never forgive myself if she was in danger and I didn’t notice it, or even do

something about.

“Is she alive?” I ask as the fear of his answer chocks me.

She had to be alive. She just had to.

Gabe gives me a side way glance. “I don’t know much, but I know she’s alive”

‘Barely‘

The words aren’t said, but they are implied.

I saw the video. Whoever was after her wanted to make sure that Ava died. That she didn’t

have a chance

of surviving. I don’t know the extent of her wounds, but I know at least two bullets hit her.

“Do you know which hospital she’s at?” I ask, my voice sounding gruff even to my own

ears.

I had been so focused on getting to her, that I didn’t even bother asking which hospital

she was taken to. I

just wanted to be there for her.

“Yeah, don’t worry. I called around and got the info. I was told they’re taking her to Avenue

Hospital” he

answers.

At least they had the mind to take her to the best hospital in the city.

I try to calm my heart. Try to breathe through the panic that threatened to drown me. It’s

hard though. So F***ing hard. I won’t get a moment of peace until I know that she’s okay.

“She’s going to be okay, Ro” Gabe tells me after a minute or so of silence.

I want to be confident about that, but I am not. She might survive, but what about the

baby? Not only was she shot, but when she fell to the ground that impact couldn’t have

been good for the baby.

If she survived, but the baby died in the process, she would be devastated. I know Ava.

The loss would destroy her. It would probably be her undoing.

“Can you please hurry up? I demand.

it felt like we were moving at a snail pace. Like time was crawling. Why the F*** is it

always like that?

slow motion.

“I’m going as fast as I can, Ro”

“It’s not fast enough. I need to be with her” I tell him desperately.

Why can’t he understand that I have to be there? That I need to be there? What if she

woke up and she was all alone with no one by her side? She needs me by her side.

I should have trusted my instincts when I first got that sense of dread. I should have

listened. I should have dug deeper and made sure that all my loved ones were protected. I

failed to listen to F***ing intuition, and now Ava has paid the price.

“Do you have any idea who could be behind this?” Gabe asks.

I know what he’s trying to do. He’s trying to distract me so I wouldn’t focus so much on all

the negative

stuff.

“Reaper” I growl his name in anger. “He’s the only one with motive.”

If it’s him, then he has won. He has managed to destroy me and get his revenge. Nothing

he can do could

hurt as much as this.

“What about Noah. You have to tell him” Gabe adds.

Fuck. I had completely forgotten about him. He was going to be so heartbroken. He loves

his mom so

much and this is going to hurt him.

“What am I going to tell him? How am I supposed to face him and tell him that his mother

was F***ing shot? That I wasn’t able to protect her”

I feel the avalanche of emotions try to suffocate me. I can’t fall apart now. Noah needed

me and so does Ava. My emotions will just have to F***ing wait until I can deal with them.

“It wasn’t your fault, Rowan. You couldn’t have predicted any of this”

I wanted it to be true, but the guilt was too powerful. I should have just listened to my

intuition.

I stay quiet because there is nothing to say. A few minutes later, we arrive at the hospital.

I don’t wait for Gabe to park the car, I just jump out while it’s still moving and rush inside.
