Bound to my Enemy novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117: Chapter 117.

Elaine’s POV

(Before the attack)

My sister had been in the hospital for days now.

She’s my siste and Zane had looked me dead in the eye that morning and told me the hospital wasn’t secure enough yet. That it was a risk and if anyone wanted leverage, that was where they’d look.

I understood the logic I j just didn’t care because logic doesn’t quiet the image of your little sister alone in a hospital bed.

I found Aaron outside near the car. He straightened when he saw me, like he already sensed trouble.

"We’re going out," I said.

He frowned immediately. "We’re not cleared for that yet."

"I’m going to the hospital."

His jaw tightened. "But Mr Whitmore said...."

"I know what he said Aaron."

"Then you know I can’t just....."

"You can," I cut in. "You’re assigned to me."

He studied my face for a long moment. I didn’t even blink I just held his gaze.

"I won’t be long," I added, softer. "I just need to see her please."

Something shifted in his expression, it looked like....resignation?

He opened the car door for me and I got in.

The gates roll open reluctantly like they didn’t want me to leave and I almost laughed at that thought. I was the one who felt reluctant... not about going, but about what it would mean when Zane found out.

I kept staring at my phone, the last message from the hospital sat there unanswered.

Aaron’s hands were steady on the wheel, but I noticed he checked the mirrors more than usual.

"You’re tense," I said quietly.

"I’m alert."

"Why?"

He didn’t respond.

We about were twenty to ten minutes from the hospital when I first noticed the black SUV, it had merged behind us two lanes back.

it stayed there even when Aaron changed lanes.

Even when he slowed slightly to let a car pass.

I told myself I was being paranoid.

"You see that?" I asked.

Aaron didn’t look back immediately, he checked the side mirror casually.

"Maybe," he said.

"Maybe?"

"Could be nothing."

It wasn’t nothing.

I felt it in my stomach first....

The SUV closed distance fast and Aaron’s posture changed, his shoulders went rigid.

"I don’t like it," he muttered.

My pulse picked up.

Another car slid in front of us at the next light, a dark sedan with tinted windows.

The light turned green but the sedan didn’t move. Aarom tapped the horn once, but still nothing.

Then the SUV behind us crept closer... too close.
