I see him swallow, before his eyes focus on me.
“It’s Ava” he finally says.
I’m about to ask him what’s wrong with Ava when an unrecognizable voice mentions her
name. I begin to
turn in the direction of the TV.
“Please, Rowan…don’t watch it, focus on me” My brother begs me, but I don’t pay
attention to him.
I needed to know what the hell the reporters have to say about Ava.
BREAKING NEWS.
The headlines written in big, bold letters.
“News just in, Member of the Sharp family and founder of The Hope Foundation was today
gunned down

by unknown people. We are yet to know the state she’s in, but the gunman opened fire to
what seems to
be a hit targeted at her. The video you’re about to watch maybe disturbing to some”
I feel my knees weaken, but nothing could have prepared me to watching the woman I
love being shot
multiple times.
The video showed Ava as she was walking out of an ice cream shop. Her eyes were
downcast and she had a small frown on her face. Whoever took the video captured a black
SUV with tinted windows speed in her direction. Just before the drove past her, a masked
person, rolled the window down just enough to fit the gun, before shooting several times.
They sped past her, leaving Ava to crumble on the ground in a pool of blood
The video ends, and the presenter comes back on.
“We are yet to establish why these gangsters would shoot a pregnant woman, but stay
tuned as we try to find out.”
She proceeds to talk about the damage to the shop and how two other people were
injured, but that doesn’t concern me. My focus was Ava. I couldn’t erase the image of her
b*dy lying motionless in a pool of her own blood from my mind.
“Rowan?” I hear his voice but it doesn’t registers.
Nothing F***ing registers in my head. I felt so F***ing broken. I felt lost. My heart was
fractured to tiny pieces. How am I supposed to survive if something happens to her?
“Ro…”
His hand on my shoulder makes me jump into action.
“I need to go to her..I need to see her” I struggle to say against the waves of emotions
that were choking
1. me.
I don’t wait to hear what he says, before I am out of my office door. I rush down the
corridor towards my private elevator. My employees stare at me in confusion. I probably
looked like a deranged person, but ! don’t give a damn.
Jumping to the elevator, I key it in for the underground parking. My need to see her
intensified with every
bit of my heart.

I got underground and immediately rushed to the reserved parking space. My car was
there and so was
Gabe’s.
I struggled to unlock the doors. My hands were shaking and I couldn’t stop the tremble no
matter what.
The keys fell out of my grip, frustrating me even further.
“Fuck” I yell, kicking the tire in anger, fear and frustration.
Bending down, I pick the keys and manage to unlock the doors. I had my hand on the
handle, about to
open it when a hand stopped me.
I turn around pissed off, about to lash out when his voice stops.
“I’m not about to let you F***ing drive while you’re in this state” he says before pushing
forward his hand. Give me the keys, I’ll take you to the hospital.”
I deflate and hand him the keys. He was right. I wasn’t in the right mental state to drive
anywhere. The last thing Noah needed is to have both parents in the hospital.
I get in and Gabe starts the car, all the while praying that Ava was okay because I don’t
how I’ll survive if 1 were to lose her.
