Giselle’s vision blurred as Eleanor quickly called for an ambulance, her voice firm and commanding despite the panic creeping into her tone. The sound of sirens filled the air, growing louder with each passing second.
People around them scrambled, screaming and running for cover, but Eleanor stayed frozen, gun still gripped in her hand, her eyes locked on the fallen man.
The paramedics arrived, rushing Giselle onto a stretcher. Eleanor followed closely, her face a mask of calm, though her eyes betrayed a flicker of worry. “Get her to the hospital, now,” she ordered, her voice firm.
The hospital corridors blurred as Giselle was wheeled into the emergency room. The smell of disinfectant and the sterile lights overhead made her stomach churn. She tried to speak, but blood bubbled up her throat, choking her.
The doctors sprang into action, cutting away Giselle’s clothes, their movements swift and practiced. Eleanor stood at the foot of the bed, her expression unreadable, but her eyes betraying a hint of fear.
“Gunshot wound to the back, massive blood loss,” one of the doctors barked. “Get her into surgery, now!”
Giselle’s world went dark as they wheeled her away. The last thing she heard was Eleanor’s voice, whispering something she couldn’t quite catch.
Outside the hospital a sea of fans gathered, holding signs and praying for Giselle’s recovery.
” You’re a fighter, Giselle.”
” We love you three much , Giselle. Don’t leave us “
” Whoever planned this , they’ll die 200 times , they won’t even be space for them in hell.”
” We love you .”
Inside , Eleanor paced the waiting room, her usually composed demeanor frowning.The sound of her heels echoed on the sterile floor.
Eleanor felt a pang of guilt wash through her , only if she had let the guards escorted them ,this disaster wouldn’t have struck.
Tears brimmed out of her eyes.
Leonard burst in , his eyes wide with worry , his heart aching ” How is she? How’s Giselle ? How did she get shot and where? Who did it ? Fuckin answer my damn question .” He demanded.
” She’s in the emergency room , the doctors are operating on her . ” Eleanor replied .
Leonard wasn’t even listening to her , from the small opening on the door Leonard watched as Giselle was operated.
His face twisted in fury and concern , he should had been the one who got hurt . Whoever harmed his Short witch … will pay with their blood.
Leonard faced Eleanor flashing her an evil glare ” Why didn’t you allow the guards to escort you ? If I find out that you had anything to do with my baby , I’ll bring hell down to earth .”
” You should at least thank me , I shot the mysterious figure that shot your darling Giselle .” Eleanor snapped at him .
” You shot him so that there won’t be any evidence against you , besides you’re Aimee’s mother , what less should I expect from you ?” Leonard said flashing her a frost and unfriendly look then directed his gaze back to Giselle.
His heart melted as he stared at her .
Eleanor clenched her fists tightly then she took her lips trying to fight the urge of crying.
She couldn’t take it anymore , she walked away .
Leonard didn’t even spare her a glance .
Anger towards whoever did this to his short witch brewed like a feisty storm .
He was going to spare them…. never.
Sparing isn’t in his dictionary.
Rumi bursted in , tears brimmering from her eyes , she had to admit staying with Leonard in the same place , breathing the same air , inhabiting the same habitat — was hell as intimidating.
She stood some distance away from him .
The door opened and the doctor stepped out of the emergency room.
“How’s she?” Leonard asked trying to sound calm but it came out as a growl.
“She’s stable , but we need to monitor her closely, the bullet missed her spine but she lost a lot of blood, we’ll know more when she wakes up “the doctor nodded.
” Can .. I see her ” Rumi face crumbled , tears streaming down her cheeks.
” No one is allowed to go in for now to avoid risks of getting her contaminated or infected ” The doctor said.
The doctor walked away.
Gathering up courage Rumi faced Leonard ” I think it’s Aimee’s doing.” she whispered.
Leonard fury snapped , why didn’t he think about it ?.
Aimee?
He stormed out maniacally.
[PINKPOP MANSION, LIVING ROOM]
Aimee sighed uncontrollably as she watched the TV , all channel stations were talking about Giselle’s unfortunate accident.
Even without doing anything , she’s still the talk of New York .
Lucky her.
Nothing is going on between Giselle and Leonard , she repeatedly told herself.
The entrance door was pushed open , Tate stepped in wearing a pretentious smile.
” Hey babe!” Tate smiled sauntering toward her.
Aimee kept the remote on the table.
Okay ,that’s suspicious.
Aimee lazily dropped the remote on the table ” You’re here,Why?” .
” To see you and discuss about our new music ….”
” Am not producing any music for now , I can’t sing properly until I have Leo all to myself .” Aimee harshly cut her off .
” Stupid bi+ch!” Tate said in her mind maintaining her pretentious smile.
That sharp pain hit her in the abdomen and she winced painfully ” Ouch!”.
” What happened?” Aimee asked , not cos she was concerned , but she doesn’t want anyone dieing under her roof.
” Am okay , I just need to pee.” Tate faked a smile , she quickly climbed the stairs.
Just when she was about to direct her attention to the TV , Leonard stepped in .
” Leo!” Aimee whispered , her heart jumped frantically.
Aimee didn’t go to hug like she always did , instead she stood and began to move back .
There was something different about him , he is way beyond redemption and he’s flashing her that murderous stare .
Madness . Madness.Madness.
These are three categories that could best describe Leonard’s insanity.
He closed the distance between them.
Leonard’s hands wrapped around Aimee’s neck, his grip tightening like a vise. Aimee’s eyes bulged, her hands clawing at his face, desperately trying to priece his fingers off her neck . She kicked and struggled, but Leonard’s grip only tightened.
“You should’ve stayed away,” Leonard growled, his voice low and menacing. “You should’ve never tried to hurt Giselle.”
Aimee’s face turned red, her eyes beginning to lose focus. She gasped for air, her body thrashing wildly.
Just as Aimee’s eyes were about to roll back, Tate appeared , her voice calm and authoritative. “Leo stop. Now.”
Leonard’s grip didn’t loosen, his eyes still blazing with fury.
” I … didn’t harm …Giselle..” Aimee said struggling to breathe.
Leonard finally let go of her , she fell to the floor coughing .
If there was anything he knew about Aimee , was that she wouldn’t dare lie to him in the eye.
” How’s Giselle ” Tate asked but Leonard was already walking out .
Aimee curled herself on the floor , she cried like a baby .
[NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT]
Vincent strode through the airport, his eyes scanning the crowd as he made his way to the taxi stand. As he approached a waiting taxi, a young girl, no older than 17, darted out from the crowd and tugged on his sleeve.
She looked up at him with big, hopeful eyes, her small frame dwarfed by Vincent’s tall, imposing figure. “Mister, mister! Please help me? I’m hungry…”
Vincent’s expression softened slightly as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of cash. “Here, kiddo. Get something to eat, okay?”
The girl’s eyes widened as she took the money, her face lighting up with a smile. “Thank you, mister!”
Vincent nodded, watching as she scampered off into the crowd. He opened the taxi door and slid in, shutting the door behind him
The taxi pulled away from the curb, merging into the busy airport traffic. Vincent leaned back in his seat, his eyes fixed on the rearview mirror.
A smile curled on his lips.
He was finally going to see her .
[ PRIDE HIGH , CHEERLEADERS DRESSING ROOM ]
Eva adjusted her cheerleading uniform, her eyes fixed on her reflection in the mirror. The door swung open and Pinky sauntered in, a sly grin spreading across her face.
“Hey, Eva,” Pinky purred, her eyes sparkling with mischief. She pulled out her phone and held it out, a wicked grin gleaming in her eye. “You won’t believe what I just found out.”
Eva raised an eyebrow, curiosity piqued. “What is it?”
Pinky’s grin grew wider as she showed Eva the phone screen.
“Looks like they’re having a little secret affair, don’t you think?” Pinky said, her voice dripping with malice.It was a picture of cat
Eva’s face twisted in disgust. “Gawd! You’re stupid Pinky, you wasted my time cos of a cat picture, mtcheew.” She rolled her eyes and turned back to the mirror, adjusting her uniform.
Pinky’s face fell, her eyes widening in shock as she stared at the blank screen. “Cat picture?” she repeated, her voice laced with confusion. She looked up at Eva, her expression incredulous. “What…what happened to the picture?”
Eva raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her lips. “What picture?”
Pinky’s face turned red with anger. “The one I just showed you! Of Lionel and Jeremy!”
Eva chuckled, shaking her head. “Girl, you must be hallucinating. There’s no picture here.”
Behind the door Sabrina watched , a satisfied smirk played on her lips.
[ NEXT DAY , HOSPITAL ]
Giselle woke up to the sterile hum of the hospital, the fluorescent lights overhead casting a pale, unforgiving glow on everything. The light was like a cold whisper, making her skin feel chilled despite the warmth of the blankets. It highlighted the clinical smell of disinfectant and the soft beeping of machines, making her feel trapped.
As she stirred, Leonard’s eyes opened, and he smiled, his face etched with relief. “Hey,” he whispered .
Giselle’s gaze locked onto his, and she felt a flutter in her chest. “Hey,” she whispered back, her voice barely audible.
” Seeing you that way killed me mentally, emotionally and physically ” Leonard muttered ” Am sorry I failed to protect you .”
Giselle took her lips in as she stared at him , her gaze fell on his lips… so red and luscious.
Without a word, Leonard slid his arms under her, lifting her into a gentle cradle. Giselle’s eyes widened as he stood up, his movements fluid and confident.
“Leonard, what are you doing?” she whispered, her heart racing.
Leonard’s jaw was set, his eyes fixed on the door. “Taking you home.”
Giselle smiled to herself ,he knew she hates hospitals.
Giselle’s arms wrapped around his neck, holding on as he strode out of the room, the hospital lights blurring above them. She buried her face in his shoulder, feeling a mix of embarrassment and relief.
As they walked, Giselle’s leg accidentally wrapped around his torso, her body pressed close to his. Leonard’s grip tightened, his face expressionless, but his eyes…his eyes said something entirely different.
As Leonard carried Giselle out of the hospital, the bright sunlight hit them like a wave. Giselle blinked, her eyes adjusting to the glare.
And then she saw them – a sea of fans, their faces hopeful and worried, all turned towards her. They were holding signs, balloons, and flowers, a riot of color against the dull hospital backdrop.
They camped there all night—For her.
Among the crowds Jeremy was there.
“Giselle! Giselle!” they chanted, their voices a gentle roar.
Giselle’s eyes welled up with tears as she took in the sight. These people, who she’d never met, had been praying for her, waiting for her.
Leonard’s grip on her tightened, his eyes scanning the crowd, ever the protector. He nodded to his security team, who quickly moved to clear a path.
As they made their way to the waiting car, the fans surged forward, their voices a mix of prayers and cheers. “Get well soon, Giselle! We love you!”
Giselle’s smile faltered as she turned and spotted Aimee, her eyes locked in a fierce glare. Aimee’s face was twisted in a snarl, her eyes blazing with a mix of anger and hatred.
Giselle smirked darkly It’s time for her sweet little revenge.
Giselle’s hand cradled Leonard’s cheek, her touch sending a spark through his entire being. Without hesitation, she leaned in, her lips claiming his in a gentle, yet fierce kiss.
Leonard’s eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly recovered, his arms wrapping around her, pulling her closer. The kiss deepened, their lips moving in perfect sync.
They greedily consumed each other’s lip.
The world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in the intensity of the moment. Giselle’s heart was racing, her entire being alive with a feeling she couldn’t quite explain.
Leonard’s grip on her tightened, his kiss becoming more urgent, as if he was trying to make up for lost time. Giselle’s response was immediate, her body melting into his, her lips moving in perfect harmony.
The kiss went on, the tension between them building, until they were both left breathless, their foreheads touching.
The fans mouth are all wide open.
Aimee’s eyes widened as she watched Giselle and Leonard’s kiss, her breathing seized in shock. The words tumbled out of her mouth, barely audible. “What…the…f+k…just…happened?”
She collapsed on the floor , ignored.
