Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 197

Once she stopped the car, she could make out what was flying at her. These were...no...it could not be. But yes, they were... bullets after bullets.

Fortunately, her car windows were bulletproof. Could a cheap car actually be bulletproof? Sophia could not believe it herself. The bullets could not get through the windows. So yes, her car windows were definitely bulletproof.

Having encountered her first assassination ever, she was out of her wits. Suddenly, her phone started ringing.

Startled, she hastily fished out her phone from her handbag. Colin's name flashed on the screen.

She answered the phone. Her voice was trembling with fear. "Colin..., " she said.

From the other side came a calm voice. "Stay right in your car and lock it. Don't worry and don't get scared. I am on my way, " said Colin.

Wondering how he knew what was happening, Sophia immediately locked the door. "Done... Now?" She looked to the direction from which the bullets were coming. She could only see darkness.

"Protect yourself, Sophia. Call the police. We will be there in about ten minutes." Colin and Grit, who had picked him from the airport, were driving towards Sophia.

"Okay..."

Holding the phone even after it was hung up, Sophia drew deep breaths...in and out...in and out... Feeling slightly better, she dialed 110.

The minute the call was over, she felt something hard bang against her car. Suddenly, a man appeared from nowhere. Terribly frightened, Sophia stared at him, her mouth dry and heart pounding.

As it was typical of a gangster, this man was also covered in black from head to toe. He was holding a machine gun and trying to smash the car window with it.

Sophia cowered in fear. She could vaguely make out the words that the man was roaring. "Come out, right now, " he said gesticulating wildly with the gun in his hands.

What do I do? Oh God! What do I do? Sophia thought covering her head with her hands. Suddenly Colin's words came back to her, "Protect yourself." How could she protect herself?

She checked to ensure that the car was locked properly. It was. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, the man hit the rear window hard. Instinctively, Sophia's eyes checked the glass in the rear view mirror. Still intact...

In less than a minute, three men showed up. Sophia could see that one of them brought down the gangster and twisted his arm at his back, preventing him from using the gun.

The second one snatched the gun and the third pressed him to the ground.

She could also hear a police car siren wailing nearby. She heard a dull plop and then suddenly the criminal was motionless.

Sophia took a closer look and saw a huge hole in the man's head... Gripped by panic, she couldn't breathe. She started gasping for air.

This was the first time that she had witnessed such violence. An attempt to murder her and then a killing of...

Colin arrived when the police were knocking on Sophia's car window. He saw that she had become pale and completely still.

"Sophia, open the door, " Colin gently called out, waving his hand before her eyes.

Seeing the movement of the hand and hearing a familiar voice, Sophia snapped back to consciousness. She looked at Colin and immediately burst out crying.

She opened the car door with great difficulty and almost fell out of the car right in Colin's arms. Had he not held her, she would have fallen to the ground.

Colin pulled her into his arms, hugged her tight and gently stroked her hair. "Sophia, are you all right? Were you hurt? Please talk to me..." he pleaded in a voice filled with anxiety.

Sophia grabbed his clothes and took a deep breath. She was soothed by his familiar smell. Getting calmer, she stopped crying and weakly replied, "I am fine."

The police cordoned off the area and an ambulance arrived to take the dead body away.

Sophia went to the police station, accompanied by Colin, and told them what she had seen.
