An Orphan for a wife novel Chapter 39

I will not allow him to fuck me again. We will kill each other first!

When I got tired, I sat on the edge of the tree. I followed it through the paths here. I'm probably not going astray.

I also do not have a phone to ask for help. Later I heard footsteps in the distance.

I just close my eyes in exhaustion. I want to come home with us. When will all this end? I thought once I was convicted he would calm me down. But not! Worse!

I saw them deviate from the road and split up. They have big bodies so just a blow to me I might fall asleep.

When I could rest, I turned around. I ran fast as I walked down the road I did not know where to go.

I have been running for a few minutes while walking this long road. When I heard a gunshot behind me. I turned around and at the end, I saw the shadow of Lucas facing me.

In my fear, I ran a run. But I was shocked when someone came in the distance. I stopped and tried to figure out who it was. He was approaching me.

My heart almost jumped when I saw him. I feel safe when I see him approaching me. My world seemed to stop when we looked at each other.

"Hale?"

I was very happy, but I did not know that would be the last time I would hug him. I ran to him when I heard gunshots.

I quickly ran to him as he also ran closer to me.

He greeted me with a big hug. I clung to him tightly. But it's too late.

"Hale! Fuck! It hurts-" he interrupted as he looked at his hand.

There is blood on it.

Gradually I felt my body numb. My breathing was getting heavier and heavier.

I could feel the pain in my back. My lid is also getting heavier and heavier. In an instant.

I felt my gradual slope fall as Jace leaned forward.

"H-hale! I-I'll take you to the hospital! Fuck!"
