Dying in silence

His jaw dropped immediately she raised her head.

What?

“Fon…. Fon…???, Ana?”he gibbered.

Fontana sighed softly and moved three inches closer to him.

“Look. I have a lot to explain to you. I’m not whom you think i am. I’m the Longworth daughter and I’ve been hiding my identity for long”she expounded.

Darrel looked into her eyes, scoffed and raked his hand into his hair.

Is she being serious?

Or… could she be… probably, impersonating the real Fontana?

Different thoughts ran through his mind.

It’s just hard to believe.

“Are… you shitting with me??…”was the only thing that came out of his mouth.

As Fontana made to reply him, a bullet was released inside the lobby.

Instinctively, Fontana moved to the side a bit and luckily, she missed it and the bullet hit the glass behind them instead, making it to shatter into pieces.

She gasped and covered her mouth with her palm.

What?

Her eyes widened in astonishment…

Then, without looking or targeting, the shooter started firing recklessly, not caring where it landed or if it’s hit the target.

“Get down!”

“Fontana!, get the fuck down!”

Darrel shouted, gesturing for her to bend down.

But, Fontana who was still in her daze, stood still on the spot.

Darrel shouts was sounding so afar to her.

So afar…

And he couldn’t risk to get het down. He couldn’t do that without getting one of the flying bullets.

Samantha rushed out from where she was and hurried towards her.

In the chase, a bullet hit her shoulder and she gasped and stopped running.

She glanced back at her shoulder and saw blood was oozing out from the area she had been shot.

Without thinking twice, she ran over to Fontana and dragged her down with her.

Fontana stared at her and at the place she was shot and that seems to get her whole IQ back into functioning.

“Sam!”she shrieked.

The glasses keep shattering down because of how careless the shooter was firing.

All this seems to happen so fast.

The guards that were waiting for Fontana outside quickly drew out their guns, traced the place the bullets are coming from and started shooting back.

All her fans that were waiting for her was running Helter – skelter.

Harry and the other guys ran to their cars hurriedly without glancing back at each other.

Mia, who has just woke up from her sleep because of the sound of the firing, looked around, confused about the whole thing.

What the hell is going on?

She saw people running around and an alarm shrilled in her head.

Her role model!.

Was all she could think if at that moment.

She seems to have forgotten her role model is Fontana, the girl which she has bullied.

“Oh, my God, Sam”Fontana sobbed as she saw blood dripped down from her shoulder.

She felt guilty.

If she had get down on time, she wouldn’t have been shot.

It was all because of her.

Some of the guards rushed in and towards Fontana.

“Miss!”

“Are you okay??”

“Yeah. Let’s get Sam to the hospital, she’s loosing too much blood”Fontana said, concerned.

The guards moved their gaze to Samantha and realized she has been shot.

“Alright”

One of them moved the her and carried her in a bridal style.

“When I can actually walk by myself”Sam scoffed.

“You will only slow us down”the guard replied.

The remaining of the guards also rushed in.

The captain was with them.

“Miss”he called breathlessly.

Nothing must happen to her.

If she get just a little scratch on her body, they will surely be in a big trouble.

“Look, look. My friend has been shot, she got a bleeding shoulder, can we make it out of here?”Fontana asked.

“Of course”the captain said and turned to his boys.

He selected the ones that will lead the way out of the place and the ones that will walk behind Fontana and the guard with Samantha.

The shooter stopped shooting for a while.

All this while, there’s no single injury on his body.

That’s to show how professional he is.

The guards signalled each other and then, step by step they started walking out.

Fontana totally forgot all about Darrel. All she was concern about that time was the safety of Samantha.

Even the guards didn’t notice him.

They walked to their cars, each of the guards glancing left and right with guns held up high.

Fontana driver sighed in relieve as he sighted them from afar.

Then, he quickly inserted the key into the ignite engine and other necessary things which unlocking the door is among.

They finally got to the car and as she made to step in, the shooter began again.

This time, the shooting was rough and tough.

He shot down three guards at the same time.

It was a brutal action to behold.

The security guards also came out of the building and started shooting.

Fontana stopped to look at the guards that was down but a guard quickly pushed her inside the car and jammed the door closed.

“Drive!, drive!”he yelled to the driver.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The guard with Samantha quickly open the door from the other side and dropped Samantha body on Fontana.

Fontana groaned slightly..

Samantha is heavy..

The driver ignited the engine and drove off speedily.

All focus on Fontana’s car, the shooter continued the shooting.

Fontana bend down with Samantha so as not to be hit.

All the window glasses dropped down in pieces.

The guards got inside the other cars and also drove after Fontana’s driver.

They opened the window and stuck their head out shooting the sniper.

The shooter tied an handkerchief over his face to cover his identity. His black eyes was the only thing in view.

One the guards aimed at the shooter shoulder and fired his bullet.

It didn’t miss…

It landed right at his target area.

That seems to stop him from shooting anymore as they drove away speedily.

The guards relaxed back and sighed.

That was when Darrel ran out of the building and when he didn’t saw any sign of Fontana still around, he sighed in relieve and ran to the car he and the guys brought in.

“C’mon, to the hospital”Fontana said to the driver.

“I’m sorry ma’am. But we will have to head home first, we don’t know what will happen in the next minute. A doctor can be called to come treat miss Sam at home”the driver answered.

Fontana thought about it and nodded.

He was right.

They drove into the garage speedily and guards rushed down from the cars.

They walked to Fontana’s car and get her out with Sam.

They started walking towards the mansion and Mr Longworth which has been worried from all this time rushed towards them.

Actually, Elsa had called them to require back up for Fontana’s safety.

He had sent for the cops as a backup.

He sighed in relieve as he got to them.

He touched Fontana’s left cheek and brought down his hand and rubbed them down through his face.

He had been damn worried about his daughter’s safety.

He smiled and pulled her in his warm body.

Mrs Longworth who’s also awared of the happenings have been sobbing like a baby all the while.

She’s her only daughter and she can’t afford to lose her.

A maid came to inform her about Fontana’s arrival and she got up from the couch and rushed outside.

As she got to her side, she pushed her husband who was still hugging her to the side and embraced her.
