The Great CEO's Wife is a Gangster 79 CHAPTER 79: HIS LIFE FOR HER

"Mr. Mikasa, Mr. Ridgewood, can I have a minute?" she tried to approached them professionally. Media's are still scattered all around. Tonight's events will definitely rock the world first thing tomorrow.

They distance themselves from the people.

"I thought you weren't coming." Aisha scowled.

"You were all around the news." He indifferently answer while his eyes roamed around the hall as if looking for someone. Aisha and Archie noticed his behavior.

"Are you looking for Sherry Gray?" Aisha continued.

"No, I'm looking for Silver." He denied.

"Who is he?" Aisha was curious.

"A murderer!" Rio busted.

"Dad…. ''

"Just be careful with him." Rio warned her. after a minute, his gazed was fixed to a certain person. Sherry Gray! Aisha frowned.

"Your still not over her?" her voice gave a hint of annoyance.

"It's not what you think! Stop acting as if you knew everything. You knew nothing!" Rio yelled.

"Rio!" Archie tried to warn him. Rio was definitely mad but Archie held his arm. Aisha was stunned for a moment but she was able to wake herself from the sudden daze.

Rio's forehead puckered. He shrugged Archie's hands then walked out. "Such a bothersome!" he mumbled while he walks away.

"I'll just follow him, don't think about what he said. You know he doesn't mean that, right?" Archie tried to comfort her. He tapped her shoulder before following Rio outside.

A tear escaped at Aisha's eyes but she wiped it immediately. She can't be seen like that. But her heart is aching so much. It was very painful that she just wishes to insert an anesthetic so she won't feel anything. she was not expecting that from Rio. It was her first time to hear those words from him. Ah! So painful!

"Was I burden all along?" she was in deep thought. She tried to find Sherry among the crowd, there! The woman was sitting beside that old man, Silver. What was so special with that woman? she sneered. The woman seems to feel her intense gaze since she met her eyes. she gave out a scornful gaze, the woman never left her eyes either. They were just staring at each other for some seconds when Aisha heard Ethan's voice.

She broke their eye contact battle.

"Ethan!" she tried to fake a smile. Then suddenly she noticed Ethan's sudden change of emotion. His face suddenly roofed with anxiety as he run towards her as quickly as possible. The last thing she knew was that Ethan enveloped her in his arms.

BANGGGGGG!!!!!!! There was a loud crash.

He heard a whistle,
Pain in his lower back,

He's feet trembled weakly,
Then Darkness!! Then a loud thud!
Ethan felt his body shook like a leaf.

Blood! blood! blood was in her hands. She heard a loud thud. Someone fell on the floor! wait, the last thing she remembered was that she was enveloped in Ethan's arms!

"Ethan!" she saw him lying on the floor, blood gushed out from his lower back. Her feet shivered in fear as she fell on her knees helplessly. She panicked.

"Ethan!" she was caught off guard. She was trying to calm herself so she could think normally but to no avail. Her body was so weak to move. He was bath with blood.

She can hear some people shouting "Ambulance, call an Ambulance!" chaos erupted in the hall. People were flying towards them, back and forth. She can hear shouting but she can't understand any of them.

"Wake up! Wake up!" her mind was trying to awaken her body. After a while, she saw something like a laser beam. A sniper? She thought? Her eyes tried to look around to find where it come from. She saw Silver who looked up as he smirked. Sherry was looking up too. She tried to look up,

immediately, she seems to see a bullet flying towards her. Ethan! Her eyes grew? She tried to move her body near Ethan. She was planning to block the bullet! But she wont be able to make it so she raised her hand in hope that it would block it.

AHHHHHH!!!!!! She screamed in pain. Her hands were shoot but it's far from her bone. Good thing that it only penetrates the skin. The bullet came out from the skin. Phew! She didn't care about the pain. Ethan!

She didn't know how she was able to see the bullet earlier, maybe it was a miracle. God must have seen her miseries so he decided to intervene.

She looked for a clean cloth but she only saw the white table cloth. She took it and used it to block the blood from oozing out from Ethan's body. The people surrounded them.

Rio and Archie noticed the commotion outside so they went back in. they found Master Omni and Aisha holding the unconscious Ethan. What happened? They just went out a bit then chaos erupted? Rio and Archie saw the men in black held their guns in search for the culprit. After some minutes, the ambulance came.

They were rushing Ethan inside the ambulance, Aisha followed. Blood was also oozing from her right hand but it was not severe like Ethan.

Aisha accompanied Ethan inside the ambulance while Master Omni followed using his private car.

She was holding Ethan's hands while tears flowed from her eyes. The doctor inside kept on checking his pulse and was monitoring his heartbeat. Oxygen was already attached to him.

"Ethan, please hold on. I still need to tell you a lot of things!" she was crying madly. The fifteen minutes' drive to the hospital was shorten to ten minutes. As soon as they arrived, they bought Ethan to the operating room. almost all the doctors fled to assist the owner of the hospital.

Aisha suddenly felt helpless. She was pacing back and forth at the waiting area. After some more minutes, Master Omni arrived along with Rio and Archie. Everyone was in shock. They were waiting silently.

Aisha must have been felt tired. She sat on the floor curling her feet as she embraced her knees. She bowed her head as she sobs silently.

It was all her fault! She was blaming herself.

"Get a hold of yourself! be strong! And don't ever think that it was your fault!" Master Omni bended as he patted her shoulders. She didn't raise her head to see Master Omni. She only nodded.

Rio was watching Aisha in her most desolate situation. She never saw her cried before even when she was physically hurt. The lively Aisha that she knew were nowhere to be found right now. how he wants to comfort her but he was also blaming himself for yelling at her earlier.

He cursed silently. Damn that broken heart! Maybe, just maybe if he didn't leave her, this wouldn't have happened.

"You were shot as well!" Master Omni screamed in anxiety. That very moment, Larry, Caleb and Lisa came together.

"Call a doctor, quick!" Rio was pinned to where he was standing. Did he hear old Omni? Was Aisha shot too? He curse silently.

"It was just a graze." She weakly response.

"Stacy!" Caleb and Lisa came to her. Caleb pulled her hand and inspected it. he scoffed.

"It's not just a graze! Let's go and treat you first!" Caleb was worried sick.

"I'm fine." Her voice was faint. Caleb was annoyed so he cupped her in his arms and carried her in the emergency room. Lisa, Rio and Archie followed while Master Omni and Larry stayed while waiting for the result of the operation.

Master Omni is now worried. Why are they taking so long?! he should be out by now! Now he's nervous.
