"O-out of the car..where are you going to take my car then?

" Sierra asked, in their mid voice which gave her no clue about what was supposed to happen next.

However, to the reaction of hers, she saw the man behind her actually taking the gun more rightly into his hands and first of all, got out of the car.

But in the swift movement, he had opened the door of her side as well before he had motioned her to get out,

"Come now..

"

"A-alright..

" Sierra kept herself at composure before she stepped out and as the man pushed her a little back, she was now standing near the edge of the hill.

Her heart was thumping in her chest as if it would come out at any moment.

Her frightened expression was evident that she wasn't relieved. The man had pointed his gun in her direction, standing a few distances away from her.

"I..I..had already talked with Mr. Santz..

"

"Wait,

" he answered and Sierra Nodded her head. She saw him taking his phone out before he had dilated the number which she could visibly guess.

When the call was picked, she saw the man putting the call on the loudspeaker for her to hear the voice more clearly.

"Sierra..you were very obedient I see.

"

"Otherwise I wasn't actually expecting a call out from my man so early. Seems like you followed what he said without creating a fuss.

" She heard him telling her and the chuckle left out from his lips.

"That is nice to witness…

"

"Just tell me what do you want anymore?' Sierra's rage was building up in her brain.

She was impatient, to the extent that her mind was asking her to tush back to her children.

"I didn't actually give you the message which I was supposed to. So hear this out.

" Sierra gulped the saliva where her ears got raised, 'What kind of message can it be?' She kept on wondering.

But her curiosity got dropped very soon when she heard him say,

"You are Mrs. Shen. I thought it would be best to actually have our hand over you, so Mr. Jack Shen will come and rush back to the state. Won't he?

"

"When he sees that his beautiful wife is injured so badly that her life is at risk...who will take care of your children then? Nobody...and Jack will eventually have to come back no matter what..

" she heard the man, as the goosebumps raised her back...

Her eyes blinked for quite a time, to realize that Santz was using her as the bait to get his hands over Jack Shen.

In her eyes, it was the mark of failure but they were all fair in the underworld.

"Jack...will not come here. Santz, I told you, keep me out of this..

"

"Sorry Mrs. Shen but you are married to the man...I hate the most. Your destiny is written in such a way..

" Santz replied, to which Sierra's hands were converted into a fist.

Her clenched jaw and fierce eye lifted her head to look at the masked man,

"Santz, I'm asking the last time, ask your man to keep the gun down...

"

"Shoot her, let Jack Shen go through the turmoil of losing the family member again.

" Santz's order widened Sierra's eyes.

Subconsciously she shook her head.

"N-No..you can't do that! For Fuck's sake! Santz..

"

"Mrs. Shen, if you survive and do not die at the point, pass my message to Jack, I will come back for him, gather as much as the power he can, but he will not succeed against me for sure.

" With this, the man under the mask, hung up the phone before he slid it down in his pocket.

While she was covered with sweat all over her body, her mind went through a series of emotions. Uneasiness, dread, fear, anxiety, and what not..

"S-..See..I can give you whatever..you want..

" Sierra took a step back, with the threat all around her. Her foot took one step back, but there the man stood still with his gun in his hands, ready to kill her..

"This is the boss's order.

" was all he spoke, before he pulled the trigger of the gun to hear the shots...

BAAM!

"Ouch....Agh....

" the bullet went through Sierra's shoulder, making her yell at the top of her lungs. Her other hand wrapped around her left bicep, where her eyes were closed with the pain rising straight to her brain.

"Y-You..bastard..

"

The sudden burn and the suffering were hard to bear. It gave her mental pressure, as her entire face had already turned as white as the sheet. It was losing all of it, along with the dryness coming on her lips

"I..can't die..'

The strengthening of her was also weak since Sierra ended up sitting on the ground while holding her arm tenderly with the blood oozing out of the wound. Her entire arm was covered with the red blood...

It wasn't easy to bear, where the curved frown, closed eyes were proof of the same.

Yet, this wasn't the end since the man, who stood there, again pointed his gun in her direction, making her go blank.

"N-No...not..anymore..

"

"Boss ordered me to give you maximum injuries.

" the deep voice, made goosebumps appear on her skin.

Her lips pursed into the thin line but she kept shaking her head. Her mind had gone through the malfunctioning but there was no way to deny that it frightened her.

No...she can' die..what will happen to her children then?

And who knows.. if these injuries will cause her death or not?

There were dozens of thoughts that resurfaced in her mind but she kept her mum, to observe that the man hadn't changed this position at all.

Sweat had already covered her entire face, with the miserable expression spreading all across.

"N...No...please..

"

BAAM!
