Chapter 24


    Faye became stilled, her eyes wide open in shock as she saw Dan fall lifeless on the floor.


    She screamed in fear with her eyes tightly closed as the shooter continued shooting, bullets flying


    everywhere hitting the flower vases and shelves.


    "No! No! Mr sage? She called out in fear.


    "Mr sage can you hear me? Tears were rushing out of her beautiful eyes.


    Quickly she crawled towards him hitting him hard, wake up Mr sage! Mr sage! Mr sage! There was still


    no response from him.


    "Dan!! She shouted coughing, the acidic smell of the grenade and smoke of burnt stic bruised her


    lungs.


    Dan please wake up, she begged softly, day.......


    He coughed and opened his eyes.


    "OMG! You''re alive Mr sage! , she hugged him tightly I thought I lost you.


    She gently pulled him away and saw blood gushing out of Dan''s chest.


    Horror filled her eyes, Faye'' he weakly called.


    She blinked...


    "Dan! Faye! Are you in there? Anthony coughed entering his office.


    "Yes! Yes! Please help she said and fainted.


    Dan woke up to see the adorable sad face of his secretary looking at him.


    "You are awake! Her eyes lit up.


    "Yes, his throat was dry as he tried sitting up on the hospital bed.


    "Wee back bro, The doctor said you were lucky the bullet did not get to your heart when they


    removed it, so you should stay at home for one week to heal better, Anthony told him while helping him


    to sit better on the bed.


    Dan exhaled.


    "You have a blood on your chin", Faye murmured. She took a towel held it under warm water and


    dabbed it on his chin, he gaze unflinchingly into her Adorable face.


    "Done'' she exhaled her eyes slowly reaching his.


    His brown eyes became dark, she could not look away he held her with his gaze. She hoped he would


    kiss her...... But when he did not move she excused herself.


    "I have to go out for sometime....." she mumbled breaking the connection.


    It took her soft voice and the creaking sound of the chair when she stood up that brought him back to


    reality, he blinked and looked away.


    She walked out.


    "Anthony! Good to see you again" she smiled greeting Dan bestfriend warmly since when he came


    back from overseeing Danpany outside the country.


    "Good to see you too Ms Faye, I trust you are doing well?" He grinned.


    she nodded with a smile.


    "I want to go home....'' Dan stopped their discussion.


    "I cannot stay here anymore, I hate it in here! I hate hospitals"


    Faye and Anthony turned to look at him, on seeing his serious expression Anthony agreed to drive him


    home.

    "Okay bro, let''s take you home then. I will tell the doctor toe see you tomorrow"


    They assisted him into the car after filling in some documents, as they drove the busy city Dan


    noticed the ck SUV car with tinted windows behind his car, he was sure he saw thesame car when


    they came out of the hospital.


    Anthony who was in the steering was busy telling Faye his funny and bad experience throughout his


    stay in Paris, Dan noticed she was listening attentively to his bestfriend smilling.


    "Have you been to Paris?" Anthony asked.


    "No! Not really but I would like to go there someday" she smiled.


    Dan kept that in mind, he sure will be the one to take her there himself.


    Faye wondered who he was busy texting as she was responding to Anthony.


    As they kept travelling, Dan looked at the side mirror again and thesame car was still trailing them.


    "Hey Anthony! How about we stop for a drink first?" He suggested.


    Faye head swing to dan in surprise, is he okay?


    "Why bro? You should be at home now resting, you can''t go to the bar with your injury"Anthony replied.


    "It is just a drink, iam fine with it". He avoided their questioning gaze.


    "Alright, if you say so I will stop at the nearest bar" Anthony smiled Increasing his speed.


    Dan nodded, focusing his attention on the road, not looking at them, not saying anything.


    As Anthony turned right, the car trailing them also turned trailing them.


    Dan picked his phone and message the seniors of his security men alerting them of the strange and


    suspicious car following them.


    "Faye...." dan held her wrist, she was taken aback at his serious tone and tight grip.


    "....I want you to go with Anthony to my hotel"


    "Hotel?" Faye and Anthony spoke simultaneously.


    Although she had observed him texting speedily.


    "What is going on?"
