SEBASTIAN. “Valerie!” I rush to her side, my heart in my throat. “FUCK!” “Val…” Jai’s voice is barely a whisper. Both of our hearts are like galloping horses, thundering loudly in my ears, but my only concern is the heartbeat of the woman before me. Please be alive. “Fuck Val… shit,” I mutter, l
I take out my phone hearing the distant shouting of the security squad and there’s not much I can do anymore. I will leave it to them. Whoever it was, is long gone. I call Jai and wait for him to pick up. “Yeah?” his strained voice comes. “How is she?” “I don’t know, she’s in the operating thea
