Bound to my Enemy novel Chapter 230

Chapter 230: Chapter 230.

I barely had time to draw a full breath.... Bexore a gunshot split through the estate.

I shoot upright in bed so fast it feels like my soul leaves my body for half a second as my heart slams violently against my ribs.

The sound of the gunshot still rings through my ears almost deafening me and for one terrifying moment, I can’t breathe.

Oh God....something is wrong, horribly wrong.

"Zane...?"

But he’s already gone...the empty space beside me sends a fresh wave of panic crashing over me as adrenaline floods my body so suddenly my hands start shaking.

I throw the sheets off me and stumble out of bed, my bare feet nearly tangling in the blankets as I try to make it for the door only to realize I’m naked, completely naked.

"Shit, shit, shit....."

My voice is barely above a frantic whisper a si drop to the floor, grabbing the first pieces of clothing I can find from last night.

My shirt and pants.

My fingers are trembling so badly it’s hard to even pull the fabric where it needs to go.

I snatch my phone off the nightstand with clumsy hands and immediately dial Lucas, as it rings, I yank my shirt over my head and I step into my pants, nearly falling over in my panic.

"Come on, Lucas... pick up..."

My breathing grows harsher, louder, my chest tightening so painfully it almost burns.

Then...Another gunshot rings out, much louder and Closer now....and I freeze, every muscle in my body locking as my blood turns to ice as the sound tears through the estate, and this time there’s no mistaking it.

There are people here.....armed people.

"Oh my God..."

My voice breaks as Lucas finally answers on the fourth ring, his voice groggy and confused with sleep.

"Elaine...?"

"Lucas!"

I practically choke on the word.

"There are people in the house!"

Sleep instantly vanishes from his tone.

"What?"

"I’m serious," I whisper harshly, terrified someone might hear me. "There are gunshots....Zane went to check....I don’t know what’s happening but I need help now."

I hear rustling on his end, movement like he’s already up from bed.

"I’m coming."

That’s all I need. I end the call before wasting another second. Because I know my brother will come for me will come, lucas always comes.
