THEME: ROMANCE

****************************************
"She's too pretty, tsk, too bad she's dying" one of the men said, staring at Tiara's floating hair, and the leader's smile twisted up his face.
"What bad luck she has" he said, and the others laughed.
They were still talking when they started hearing gunshots.
"Don't tell me, he brought people along with him" one of the men said, standing up.
"Who cares, he's gonna die anyway? Let's hide somewhere, they'll think no one was in here, and we'll strike after they've let their guard down and least expect it" the leader said, and they jerked their heads in unison.
They all opened the door to another room and went in, closing the door behind them.
OUTSIDE THE ROOM, a figure could be seen shooting aggressively at the guards. It was Wren. She was wearing her usual black outfit, with her green hair flowing as she shot. She had killed 29 men in just 5 minutes, with many more still to go. She kept shooting nonstop until Dragon arrived.
"Go save her, quick!" he said, and she looked at him.
"Yeah, go on, I'll handle them. Remember, I'm not called Dragon for nothing" he added, and a hint of a smile played on her lips before she shot again, using the distraction to escape and disappear from view.
Dragon had already distracted them from following her. She started searching for the room Tiara was in and saw water coming out from under a door. She immediately walked towards it, opening the door and entering. She traced the water until she raised her head and saw floating hair inside a tub filled with water. Her body stiffened.
She dropped her gun and got inside the water, raising the person's head up to see Tiara. Her breath caught in her throat as she took in Tiara's condition. She quickly got out, going to the tap and turning it off. She entered the tub again and searched for the drain with her hand, expertly removing the cover, then the water started draining, and her shoulders sagged, releasing pent-up tension.
She walked to Tiara and carried her out of the tub in a bridal style before dropping her on the floor.
She untied Tiara's legs before moving on to her hands, which were chained and padlocked. Wren scanned the room for a sharp object to unlock the padlock, but instead spotted a small key on the floor. She quickly retrieved it and returned to Tiara, using the key to unchain her hands. Wren removed the chains gently, not to cause further injury. Tiara's wrists were bruised from the chains.
Wren performed CPR on Tiara for around 10 minutes, until Tiara coughed out water and opened her eyes weakly.
"You" Tiara called out, recognizing Wren as the woman who had accompanied Lucas on the day she was kidnapped.
"Shh, don't talk, you don't have the energy" Wren said, looking around cautiously before focusing on Tiara again.
"Can you run?" Wren asked with a smirk.
Tiara's gaze drifted, her eyes searching for someone.
"Where is he?" she asked weakly.
Wren knew exactly who Tiara was asking about.
"Don't worry about him, he's mad at you, and he's coming. But for now, you need to run. Those bastards are hiding somewhere in this room" Wren said, already knowing Tiara's concerns about Lucas. Tiara's heart sank at the mention of Lucas's anger.
Wren lifted Tiara slowly, holding her arm and dragging her out slowly. She used one hand to retrieve her gun from the floor before continuing to walk. Just as they were about to reach the door, the men emerged from their hiding spot, guns aimed at Wren and Tiara.
"F+ck" Wren cursed, swiftly shifting Tiara to her back. Tiara was too weak to stand, her body exhausted.
"Not so fast, darlings" the leader sneered, his voice booming across the room.
"Since you didn't die in the water, how about we end you here? And what a coincidence, two beautiful girls killed at the same time. What bad luck" He placed his finger on the trigger, ready to fire but Wren shot the man's hand twice with stylish precision, and he winced in pain, dropping his gun.
The other men stood at attention, firing at Wren, who dodged the bullets while shielding Tiara. Wren returned fire, trying to escape the room, but was unfortunately shot in the leg. However, she didn't stop shooting.
Tiara was shaking, trembled by the sound of gunshots. She had only seen this in movies, but now she was experiencing it firsthand.
"Run!" Wren shouted, but Tiara didn't move.
"I said run!" Wren yelled again, still firing her gun wildly. Tiara started crying.
"I'm scared, I can't, I-I..." she sobbed.
Wren yelled in anger,
"Run!!!!!"
and Tiara suddenly sprang into action, guided by Wren as she ran. Wren was shot again in the thigh and winced. As soon as Tiara escaped the room, Wren closed the door, trapping herself and the men inside.
Tiara looked back, tears streaming down her face, before turning and running. She was losing her breath, but kept going. The dark and scary hallway seemed to stretch on forever. She fell, hurting her knees badly, and blood gushed out. However, remembering Wren's urgent command,
"Run!!"
She stood up and continued running. As she heard footsteps approaching, her heart pounded against her chest. Suddenly, she bumped into a hard chest and gasped tiredly. Recognizing the scent of the person she bumped into, her heart skipped a beat.
"Ryan" she mumbled, tears streaming down her face, wrapping her small hands around his body.
"I'm scared, so scared" she whispered.
Lucas's deep voice boomed,
"Scaredy-cat"
and Tiara hugged him tightly, her body temperature rising. They heard footsteps, and Lucas saw Wren running towards them, pursued by several men. Lucas raised his pistol and shot the men dead within a minute, and Tiara's body trembled at the sound of the gunshots.
Wren walked towards them, a light smile on her face as she saw Lucas.
"Boss" she called weakly, clutching her stomach with her hand. She had also been shot there. Due to her exceptional skill, she managed to survive, but anyone else would have died from the professionally trained men's attacks.
"Take her out" Lucas ordered, and Tiara broke the hug to look at him, but he only kept a straight face. Wren grabbed Tiara's hand, but she shook her head negatively.
"I don't want to go, I want to stay with you"
Lucas didn't respond.
"Take her out of here" he ordered again, and Wren forcefully dragged Tiara away. Tiara kept looking back, staring at Lucas with tears in her eyes. Footsteps approached, and Lucas smirked, seeing the leader.
"Go after them" the leader commanded, but Lucas started shooting, taking down the men one by one.
"Run out of here now!" Lucas yelled to Wren and Tiara, and they increased their pace until they were out of sight. Lucas continued shooting, preventing anyone from following them.
The leader raised his hand, signaling his men to stop shooting, and Lucas ceased fire.
"Too bad you're going to die here" the leader sneered.
"We've prepared many things to avenge our boss's death" He snapped his fingers, and more men emerged. Lucas smirked.
"Why can't you talk, bastard?" the leader yelled.
"I'll make sure you scream for help, I'll kill you"
Lucas finally spoke,
"You think so?" and the shootings resumed.
Meanwhile, Tiara and Wren were almost outside, but Wren suddenly fell. Tiara had to look back to see Wren breathing shakily, losing a lot of blood.
"Continue running, gurl, don't worry about me" Wren said, and Tiara sniffled.
"I don't know the way out, and I can't leave you alone here" Tiara said, squatting beside Wren.
"Just go, the boss had to sacrifice his life for you, so just escape. The people who will get you out of here are outside" Wren muttered weakly.
"No, let me stay with you" Tiara protested, but Wren was about to respond when she saw Dragon running towards them. As soon as he reached them, his eyes widened in shock at Wren's state.
"Wren!" he called out, and her heart skipped a beat at the concern in his voice.
He turned to Tiara, who wondered who he was, but then focused on Wren and lifted her into a bridal style.
"Why are you carrying me without my permission?" Wren frowned.
"Just shut up, Wren" he said, locking eyes with her, and she looked away shyly.
"Follow me" he said to Tiara, who nodded, and they started running out of the house. After a few minutes, they reached the outside, where a waiting car was parked. Tiara looked back at the building, realizing it was the same one where she had been kidnapped before. Suddenly, questions flooded her mind...
'Wait, Lucas saved me last time, and he looked like those assassins. Who is that lady who always comes with him? How did he know I was kidnapped? Wasn't he in Mexico? Is he a mafia boss? Why haven't I thought of that before? I never asked him how he knew where I was being kidnapped. How did it escape my mind? Who is he for real?'
They reached the car, and Dragon placed Wren inside. He also got in, and someone was already at the driver's seat, but Tiara didn't enter.
"Let's go" Dragon said.
"What about him? I want to wait for him" Tiara mumbled, and Dragon sighed.
"You should come in, he's angry with you now. He'll come back home himself, and you need to get treated, you look weak, and Wren needs it too. Come in, he'll be fine"
But Tiara didn't respond.
"Come on" Dragon urged, and she looked back at the building before turning to enter the car. Just then, the building exploded, and her heart skipped a beat. She swiftly turned back to see flames engulfing the building. Dragon's eyes widened, as did Wren's and the driver's.
"Noooooo!" Tiara screamed, starting to run towards the building, but she fainted before reaching the middle of the distance.
FLASHBACK** 3 HOURS AGO.
Lucas was still inside the jet, and he ordered Robert to bring him the satellite phone. After he brought it, Lucas called Wren, who picked up immediately.
"Any news?" he asked, having called her earlier before boarding the private jet.
"Yeah, sir, I tracked her location now, and it's the same building where she was previously kidnapped. She's been taken there again, and it's the men of the old man who died that kidnapped her. So, Dragon and I are heading there. Also, her brother was kidnapped, which is why she tried to run away. She was told not to inform anybody, and on her way, she was kidnapped by a fake taxi driver. The person behind the kidnapping of her brother is..." Wren said.
"Is?" Lucas asked sternly.
"Evelyn" Wren muttered, and Lucas laughed shortly.
"What will you do about her boss?" Wren asked.
"Leave that to me" Lucas said.
"Okay, boss, and about her brother…" Wren said.
"So?" he asked.
"Aliyah and Tracy are already about to save him" she answered.
"Are you almost there?" he asked.
"Yes, boss" she answered.
"But I think there are over 1000 men, and it would be quite hard since we're saving a life, and we don't know what situation she's in"
"Plant a bomb there" Lucas said, and Wren gasped on the other end.
"But, boss, that's quite risky, I mean..." she was still saying when Lucas interrupted.
"Do you wanna die?" Lucas said, his tone angry.
"Sorry, boss" Wren apologized.
"Plant the bomb and set it to the best time you know I can come out because I'll be the only one there" he said.
"Okay, boss" Wren replied.
"But, boss, do you love her that much?" she asked, and Lucas raised his brow.
"Sorry to say this, but boss, you're whipped, even if you deny it. I know you, boss, I've been working for you for years, so I know you never cared for a girl except for your sister, and I must say you must really have feelings for Tiara. Please don't be so mad at her, she's just fragile. You can kill me when we meet, boss, if what I said angered you. Bye, boss" she said before hurriedly cutting the call.
Lucas only scoffed.
"Scaredy-cat, always making me mad, always making me so mad" he muttered, his face reddening with anger.
He heard Robert chuckle and turned to him, his eyes narrowing.
"What?" Lucas asked, his tone sharp.
"You're blushing, boss" Robert said with a chuckle, biting his lips to try hard not to laugh because Lucas really looked cute with a blush on his cheek.
Lucas glared at him, his expression darkening.
'Why should I be blushing because of that scaredy-cat?' he thought, crossing his legs.
The satellite phone rang, and he picked it up.
"If you want your maid or whatever alive, come to the previous place you once came to, to save her" the leader of the men who kidnapped Tiara said, and Lucas clenched his fists, his knuckles white with rage. He ended the call himself.
FLASHBACK ENDS**
°°°°°°°°°°°°°
HOSPITAL**
Terry lay on the bed, still unconscious, with drips and oxygen tubes attached to him. He would have been in a coma if he hadn't been saved quickly. Mrs. Jones stroked his hair, her eyes welling up with tears, while Mr. Jones held his hand, his face etched with worry. Rita had gone home. Sydney stood at the door, peeping at Terry, her eyes laced with concern. She had almost died of a heart attack seeing him in that condition, her heart racing with fear.
FLASHBACK**
POLICE STATION*
Sydney shouted at the officers, her voice hoarse from screaming, when an officer entered, and they turned to him.
"Their son was just found near the hospital. They've checked the CCTV, but they didn't see how he got there or who dropped him there. Someone found him just now, and he's been taken to the hospital for treatment. I heard he's in a critical condition" the officer said in one breath and their eyes went wide.
PRESENT*
After staring at him shortly, Sydney turned and walked out. She had already paid for the hospital bills and anything they would need.
*********
2 DAYS LATER ~AFTERNOON ~LUCAS' ROOM*
Tiara lay peacefully on the bed, still unconscious since the incident two days ago. She had a bandage on her head, knee, and elbow, and her face looked pale. Lucas, who had also survived the bomb, had killed almost all the men and was almost outside when the building exploded. He was shot in the stomach and hurt himself badly, but he had already received treatment and was recovering well, considering it wasn't his first time getting hurt.
As soon as Tiara fainted, Lucas carried her out of the building, despite his own injuries. He had invited a nurse to treat her in his estate, and she had been receiving treatment in Lucas' room since then. Lucas hadn't slept a wink, watching over her every day.
Tiara slowly opened her eyes, but the sun's rays forced her to close them again. She inhaled a familiar scent_ Lucas'. She quickly sat up, but a sharp pain made her slump back onto the bed. Looking around, she realized she was in Lucas' room.
'How did I get here? Is he alive? He didn't die?’ she thought anxiously.
Tiara stood up again and got out of bed, noticing she wore sweatpants and a sweatshirt. She inhaled, recognizing Lucas' scent on the clothes. As she took a step, she saw Lucas emerging from the bathroom, shirtless and wearing blue sweatpants like hers. He stopped, seeing her, and their eyes locked. Tiara's gaze fell on Lucas' bandaged stomach, and she gasped, her eyes welling up with tears before she knew it, she had run to him, looking up at him with glassy eyes, causing their eyes to lock again.
"Ryan" she called in a low voice, and his heart skipped a beat, but he didn't reply.
"I thought something bad was going to happen to you. I was so scared. I don't know if I can live if you die. I love you so much. I'm sorry I didn't tell you that lady threatened me. I didn't want my brother to get hurt. She told me if I tell anybody, she would kill him. I'm sorry I lied to you. I'm sorry I tried to run away. I just thought family came first. Please don't hate me" She sobbed, her tears falling like an ocean.
She cried harder when she didn't hear any response from him. She placed her head on his chest.
"All you do is cry, cry, cry" Lucas muttered.
"If you truly love me, then you would have told me, huh?" He added, and she raised her head to look at him.
"I love you" she mumbled, wiping her tears, but they still kept coming.
"Then why can't you tell me? You made a fool out of me. I asked you if you were hiding something, but you said no, that you got sad because of a movie. Seriously, am I a joke to you? I would have saved your brother if you had told me. Why do you have to act so dumb? What if you had died, huh? Just tell me!" He yelled angrily, and she bit her lower lip so hard it drew blood. But then she remembered her brother.
"How is Terry? Is he okay? Please tell me" she begged, and Lucas sighed.
"He is fine" he replied simply, and she took a deep breath.
"Did you save him?" she asked slowly.
"Someone else did" he replied.
"What about her, your fiancée?" she asked.
"I'll take care of her. She's still in hiding with her friend. And, by the way, she's not my fiancée" he said with a straight face.
"I'm sorry" she mumbled, wetting her lips. His throat moved hungrily at the sight. She took in her lips again, bringing them out wet.
"Stop that" he said, and she looked at him confusedly.
"What?" she asked innocently, repeating the motion, and he felt his troat move hungrily again.
Without hesitation, he pushed her against the wall, and she let out a gasp before he crashed his lips on hers hungrily. As if she had been waiting for this moment, she kissed him back just as hungrily. He held her waist gently while her fingers went to his neck, rubbing it. He bit her lips lightly, and she moaned into his mouth.
"Lucas"
