In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 303

I pried her fingers off my arm and went to the supermarket. My chest tightened uncomfortably at Sally’s claims. Indeed, there seemed to be a cloud hanging over Marcus lately, but this didn’t mean that he hated Sally to the point of wanting to kill her.

After buying a bottle of water, I was about to go back when I spotted a black Maybach speeding toward the place where Sally was seated.

Everything happened so quickly that I couldn’t react fast enough. All of a sudden, Ashton came out of nowhere to protect Sally.

My breath caught in my throat and I dropped the bottle of water before running toward Ashton, instinctively shielding him.

Glimpsing the person at the driver’s seat, my eyes widened in terror. Marcus? Why is he…

Perhaps he didn’t expect that I would rush over at the very last second, he abruptly spun the steering wheel and swerved sharply to avoid me, ramming his car directly into the traffic light at a junction.

Seeing the car coming to a halt, I released a sigh of relief and turned back to look at Sally who was paralyzed with fear.

“I told you he wants to kill me-”

Bang! A loud crash assaulted my ears, interrupting Sally’s quaking voice.

My entire body froze and devastation tore through my chest.

Somehow, I managed to muster the courage to look back at Marcus who had supposedly stopped his car safely.

At that moment, he was lying on the ground drenched in blood that was quickly pooling all around him.

Why did he come out of the car?

My knees buckled and my body was drained of all strength. I fell to my knees and stared at him, I wanted to crawl over to him but I don’t have the strength to do so.

How could this happen?

He was clearly safe just now. Why did he get down? Why did he cross the road? Why… Why is this happening?

“Ahhh…” With tears welling in her eyes, Sally shrieked in horror when she saw Marcus lying on the ground.

Ashton picked me up from the ground, but I tugged on his shirt, using every fiber in my body to force words through the lump in my throat. “Send him to the hospital!”
