Bound to my Enemy novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235: Chapter 235.

Margaret’s body hits the floor and the sound echoes in my head like something breaking.

For a second, I can’t move, i just stare as her hands clutch her abdomen, her fingers already slick with blood, her face twisted in shock more than pain. Like she doesn’t even understand what just happened to her.

Then everything rushes back at once.

"Margaret!"

My voice tears out of the thought of fthe gun leaves my mind. I’m already moving, already falling to my knees beside her.

The smell hits me first... the thick metallic smell of blood.

"Oh my God... oh my God..."

My hands find hers, gripping them tight, like I can anchor her here just by holding on hard enough. Her skin feels warm...too warm and wet.

"Look at me," I say quickly, my voice shaking but urgent. "Margaret, look at me....pl...please."

Her eyes flutter, trying to focus. She finds me after a second, and something in her expression softens, even now and that almost breaks mw.

Behind me, there’s a heavy violent cras and I turn my head sharply to see it’s Zane and Aaron.

They’ve already collided, bodies slamming into the wall with enough force to make the frame shake. Aaron moves fast, faster than I expect for someone I thought was locked away. He throws a punch, wild but strong

Zane blocks it and counters immediately.

There’s something terrifying about the way Zane fights, no wasted movement or hesitation, jus precision and intent.

Aaron stumbles back a step, then comes again but Zane meets him Again anf again.

It’s brutal and violent..but Zane is bette, I can see it even through the fear and the chaos, I know it...I know he will be fine so I So I turn back to Margaret because she needs me more.

"Stay with me," I say quickly, my voice breaking now. "Please, just stay with me, okay? Everything’s fine. Help is coming. Lucas is coming. You’re going to be fine."

The words feel fragile in my mouth, like they might shatter if I say them too loudly as my hands move to her abdomen and that’s when the panic really sets in. There’s blood everywhere, too much of it, so much that it soaks through her clothes, dark and spreading, warm against my fingers.

Three shots.....i remember the sound but luckily only one hit....unfortunately it it hit bad.

"It’s Okay... it’s okay..." I whisper, more to myself than to her. "We’re okay. We’re fine."

I press my hands over the wound, hard. Margaret gasps immediately, her body tensing under my touch.

"I know," I say quickly, tears blurring my vision. "I know it hurts. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I have to... I have to stop the bleeding."

My hands are slipping, theees so much blood, it just keeps coming and it doesn’t sto

Panic claws up my throat again.

"No, no, no... stay with me," I plead, leaning closer, my forehead almost touching hers. "Don’t you dare go anywhere, do you hear me? You stay right here with me."

Behind me, another loud crash...a grunt and a curse. But I don’t turn again, I can’t. All I can see is Margaret, all I can feel is the blood soaking through my hands and the thought that if ithat if she slips away right now, i will never forgive myself. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
