Love In Between

“Bruce, you are exhausting my patience. I will say it again, hand me Ava or she dies” Andrew pulled out a gun from one of his boy’s pocket and aimed it at Ava’s mother.

“You have five seconds to decide” he began to count down. Ava turned to look at Bruce; a look of plea to let go. She couldn’t stand seeing her mother die because of her, it was beyond preposterous.

“Do not listen to him, I will rather die than see Ava in the hands of this monster.” The gun went off on his head, causing blood to splatter across the environment.

“You all have some guts allowing her to die just like that. To think I was hoping to see her live; after all, I will your parents to witness my wedding with you” Andrew smiled.

“You are not the only one with men Andrew, like George said, one more move from the place you are standing and a bullet will be put through your head” Bruce warned.

“Really? Is that so? Well Bruce, I have a surprise for you as well.” Andrew clapped his hands once more and another masked person was brought in by his men. When Andrew unveiled the masked man, Bruce’s eye widened in shock.

“You won’t dare!” He cried out.

“I was mapping out my strategy and i realized that getting Ava back would be easier than I thought. You shouldn’t have made the mistake of even thinking for a second that you would get her back. She is mine and mine to keep. I would go through the depths of hell to see that I get her. Even if it means killing your brother.” Andrew reassured as he aimed the gun at Bruce’s brother.

“Don’t do this Andrew, he is just a child.” Ava tried to plead.

“You see Ava, I am not just a billionaire, I am very smart too. Consider this a game of chess, you just lost your queen piece in two moves to me and it is only a matter of minutes before I say checkmate” He said the last statement directing his eyes to Ava with a smirk.

“Please don’t hurt him” Bruce begged.

“Oh! So you love him this much” Andrew clapped his hands and it began to rain bullets as they were being fired at Jason.

George couldn’t hold it any longer, he and his boys opened fire at Andrew’s men and there was exchange of fire.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Bruce took hold of Ava and fled from the scene; Andrew noticed it from the other end and followed them while someone covered him up.

Bruce and Ava ran to the car but were abruptly stopped by Andrew who aimed the gun at them both “Hand her over now!” Andrew ordered Bruce who held Ava tight.

“Never” Bruce stood firm on his decision.

While Andrew was about to shoot, George interrupted the scene and he got shot by Andrew.

Bruce launched on Andrew and they both began to fight it out while Ava watched as they battle together.

Andrew had a pocket knife in his cloak and picked it out and struck Bruce’s rib causing the latter to scream in pain. Ava tried to interfere but was brought to the floor by Andrew’s left arm. Bruce was weaken by the knife cut and couldn’t fight back as more blows were brought to his cheeks. He was bleeding from the nose and to him it was like a dejavu of the previous fight he had with Andrew. Meanwhile, Andrew didn’t care as he kept on inflicting more body harm on his son till he passed out.

Just when he passed out, the police arrived and separate him from Bruce’s bloodied body, hand cuffing Andrew in the process.

Minutes later, the medical team arrived and Bruce was laid on the stretcher, while Ava drove to the hospital. She had been informed by the maid that Chloe was in safe hands. This gave her the momentum to get to the hospital.

Apparently, Mason and Nora had been arrested as well as being a culprit to the crime. When Ava arrived at the hospital, she searched for the doctor, till she found him.

“Please tell me he is okay.” Ava pleaded with the doctor, who attempted to calm her down.

“We tried our possible best to revive him but he had bleed excessively and he also had internal injuries thus he couldn’t make it” Ava cried her eyes out as she heard the doctor announced the result of the test carried out on Bruce. All the people she ever loved have been taken away from her and she was left lonely.

When she was allowed into the medical room, where Bruce was kept, she screamed and cried her eyes out even more, her scream becoming higher than any sound in the room. She loved Bruce and just one wish above all was he should stay alive.

While her cries reduced to just mere sobs, she noticed a beep, from the monitor which laid opposite Bruce’s own and rushed out to call on the doctor who hurriedly came back in and examined the patient carefully. Ava prayed silently hoping it was what she wished for.

“Well it is a miracle! He is still alive and is well” The doctor confirmed causing Ava to scream with joy; she didn’t believe it. She thought Bruce was gone forever but just that single beep was able to give her hope. A hope that would alter the things of the past that will redefine her future regardless of the possible stains she had carried.

She left the hospital with that hope, knowing that after all the pain she had ensured in the hands of Andrew, she would be free eventually.
