Chapter 37

Madison Conner.

- I'm really looking forward to seeing the result. - She said suddenly.

- Tell me about it, I want to get home soon so you can take the test. - She laughed nervously.

- I can't calm down, love. - I squeezed her hand.

- It's going to be all right, darling.

She sighed.

- I hope so. - We were startled by her cell phone ringing. - It's Dom. What now? - She asked desperately.

I held back my laughter.

- Honey, it looks like we're on the run. Pick up from him.

She put it on speaker.

- Where are you!!!?

We were surprised by her tone of voice.

- Oh, we came to buy something at the market.

She said without understanding why he was acting like this.

- Come back now! Fuck! Come back soon.

We started to get scared by his shouting.

- Dom, what's going on? Why are you upset like that?

I asked without understanding.

- He's been released! Holy shit! He was being transferred to another prison while he was awaiting trial!!! But a son-of-a-bitch policeman helped him escape! Come back now!

My heart froze on the spot.

- We're going.

Hailey said nervously.

- Come back soon! Please!

As we were about to cross the street, I felt an arm wrap tightly around my neck, quickly cutting off my air.

- Where do you think you're going, you little bitch! - My body froze in fear as I heard the voice of the man who must have been my father.

- Madison! - She screamed in desperation.

- You'd better be quiet! - She shouted angrily.

He squeezed my neck harder and I put my unplastered hand on his arm, trying to free myself from his grip.

- Let her go, you bastard! - I was shocked when he pointed a gun at her.

No! He can't hurt her!

- Are you fucking this bitch? I told you that if you told anyone, that person would die. Why don't I kill this bitch in front of you?

- N-N-N-No... H-H-Hailey.

He laughed.

- I'd better get rid of the person you like, the same way you got rid of my wife!!!

I widened my eyes when he unlocked the gun.

No! No!

With great force I moved my head back, hitting him in the nose.

- Fuck! - He moved backwards, and his grip on my neck loosened a little.

I tried to get out, but he quickly grabbed my strength and pinned me down again, only this time he squeezed my neck so hard that I felt my throat bone start to ache.

- You bitch! I'm going to kill you! - I was getting dizzy from the lack of oxygen.

- Madison! - I couldn't even react when he shot Hailey in the head, making her fall to the ground dizzy.

- H-H-H-Hailey.

He started dragging me backwards with great force, I couldn't get my feet firmly on the ground because of the weakness in my body.

- I could be arrested or killed! But I'm taking you with me, bitch!

My vision was getting blurry from lack of air. I could still see Hailey on the floor from a distance, trying to get up, but failing.

No... Hailey.

- While you were fucking her, I was running from the police because of you! But that ends today! I'm going to kill you and cut off your limbs, I should have killed you before!

He loosened his grip a little, I drew in air quickly and ended up coughing heavily.

- Fuck! - He roared angrily.

I didn't understand what he was shouting about, but I soon realized when he turned me around and there were police cars surrounding us.

- Put your hands up! Let go of the victim and put your hand behind your head!!! - The policeman shouted, pointing his gun in our direction.

- I'm not letting this bitch go! Shoot! You can shoot! - He put the gun to my forehead. - Or I'll shoot!

My heart was pounding, the fear in my body was too great.

- I won't say it again! Let go of the victim and put your hands behind your head!

I bit my lip as he squeezed my neck harder. I saw Dom looking at me worriedly from a distance, there was a policeman with him preventing him from coming any closer.

He needs to help Hailey! Hailey needs help!

I froze as he unlocked his gun once more, all the policemen pointing their guns at us.

- I don't care if I die! But I'm taking this bitch with me!!!

He pulled his arm from around my neck, I thought I'd be free, but it was only a thought, because he grabbed my neck with his hand and squeezed hard. I grabbed his wrist, trying to free myself from his grip, but I failed.

I stared at Dom, the worry and despair in his eyes almost made me cry. I can't die like this, I really can't. Hailey could have our child, I really want to see that child, I really want to have a family with them.

My tears started falling down my cheeks and onto the floor.

I refuse to die like this! I've finally found my peace, my light. I won't let that last chain in my body pull me down.

- Shoot us, you bastards!!!

I felt adrenaline rush through my body, and once again I hit him in the nose with a headbutt, but this time he let me go, and without thinking twice I ran towards Dom.

- You bitch!

I heard a loud shot, I thought it was at me, but as soon as I turned around, I saw him lying on the ground with his hand on his shoulder.

- Madison! - I looked forward and was hugged tightly by Dom. - My love! Are you all right? - He held my face. - Your neck." He rubbed it gently.

- Dom! Hailey was hit by it! - I grabbed his shirt. - We need to get to her! - I said desperately.

- She's fine. - He held my hand. - She's in hospital at the moment, I sent Charles to take her. She begged me to bring you back to her.

She hugged me again. I was stunned when I felt something wet my shoulder.

- I-I was so scared... When I heard the desperation in Hailey's voice over the phone call, I thought I might lose you both forever.

I couldn't hold back any longer and I cried, I cried a lot into her chest. For fear of never seeing you again, Hailey hurt herself trying to protect me.

- H-Hailey... I want to see her Dom... I need to see that she's okay. - He pulled away and wiped my tears.

- Let's go and see her, my love.

- I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you! - We looked at that man being dragged away by the policemen in handcuffs. - I should have shot your head off! You bitch!

- Shut up! - The policeman pushed him into the car.

- Mr. Maxwell. - We turned away. - He won't get away with it this time.

- I hope so! - He growled angrily. - My two wives were almost killed by your incompetence!!!

The policeman said no more.

- Come on, love. Let's go and see our Hailey. - He held my hand lovingly.

- I'll take you. - Dom glared at him. - Your driver is still in hospital.

He sighed.

- Very well.

I was still holding on tightly to Dom, but I felt my vision going dark.

- Madison!

I didn't hear or see anything else.
