Chapter 129 Rain Of Liberation.
The gun had gone off, the sound loud and clear, resonating loudly against the murky walls of whatever house Stuart had trapped her in. Leonica clammed her eyes shut, expecting the pain to come sooner or later, but it never did and the only thing that hit her body was Owen’s body.
She peeled her eyes open at the contact and blood drained from her face when she saw that the waist side of the white Hoodie Owen was wear was slowly turning crimson red.
All at once, it clicked in her head. He had been shot!
“O-owen?” She sputtered, holding onto him as panic took over her quicker than she could ever have imagined.
“I-I’m fine.” He groaned when his hand touched where the bullet had hit.
“No you’re not. You’re bleeding!” Leonica pointed out the obvious, from the corner of her eyes; she caught Stuart laughing and turned towards him with a harsh glare.
“He’s bleeding.” He parroted in a funny manner, laughing even harder at his own joke.
“You sick bastard!” Leonica spat, labored breath passing through her clenched teeth. “You will pay for this.”
Stuart feigned a scared expression, taking a few steps back and cowering a bit to emphasize the point of his actions. “Oh look, I’m so scared.” And then he dropped the act and strengthened up, pointing the gun once more at Leonica. “And who’s going to make me pay? You? When you’re dead or alive?” He chuckled. “I had fun taunting you, Princess, but at some point, the joke gets old, and this one is way past its expiry date. So, seeya-” As he positioned the gun back in Leonica’s direction, the rest of his words were cut off by the sound of wood breaking against something and Leonica watched with wide eyes as he fell to the ground.
“He talks too much.” Stepping over his body and dropping the rest of the wood to the floor, Gabriel allowed his eyes examine the situation. Relief washed over him as he realized that Leonica was unharmed.
So, he did make the right decision by choosing to follow Owen.
