Chapter 176
Zendaya’s POV
I played with the children as it was a weekend. Instead of staying indoors like we usually did, I decided that we were going to stay outside and play.
That was affecting seeing as the sun was out already so it would be a wonderful way for us to rewind and I would enjoy the afternoon breeze.
Asher was not around which made it all the more boring to stay inside the house as I would play video games with him while the children would cheer us on.
The problem with this was that when he wasn’t around, playing video games was boring. The children couldn’t contend with me. Their hands were too tiny to move as fast as his could on the pad.
So staying out of the house and playing was a better idea.
Someone clanged against the gate, getting into the house as I looked to see Delia coming in. She spoke with the security guard who then allowed her in as she walked towards me with a smile.
“Hey,” she smiled, acting like a nice woman but I knew deep down if she had a gun with her she would use it on me and not flinch about it.
“I remember everything now,” I said to my feet. “You tried to kill me but instead you failed. Did you think you’d kidnap me and try to kill me and I would fade away? Was that your plan? I told you bitch, I’m here to stay.”
Delia lost it as she put her hand into her belt holster to get out a gun.
“Ma’am!” I heard the guards yell as they rushed towards us.
I saw her take out the gun to point at me but I didn’t know if I would dodge her in time.
The children were also behind me. I could not just save myself, I had to save them. I immediately dodged her gunshot as she fired at me.
“Mummy!” I heard the children call as I fell to the ground. I thought I was shot but when I laid for a second and didn’t feel any sting or pain, I got back to my feet to see Delia running out of the yard following the back of the house.
The guards ran after her as I ran for my children who came to hug me.
“Are you guys okay?” I asked kissing each and every one of them to calm them.
She had fired that gun in the house. Was she crazy? Was she trying to kill my children? I was mad. Now I was pissed. I contemplated getting a gun so I would find her and put some holes in her head.
How could she do that with my children around?
“Mummy, you’re hurting me,” Landon said as I looked to his ran and noticed I was squeezing it.
“I’m so sorry love,” I said kissing his face before ushering them into the house. I was so mad that I was even hurting my own children.
A few minutes after the incident, the police swarmed the house as Asher had been notified of what happened.
They came into the house to search every room and when they did not see her they came to me for questioning.
I told them everything I knew before they left to find her but not without placing a few officers in different pillars in the house to make sure no one got in without permission.
“We’ve found her!” I heard on the police scanner as many of the officers got into their cars and drove off after her.
The trauma of being shot had me checking the children over and over again to make sure nothing happened to the children. I wanted them to be perfectly fine.
I took them to the room to take off their shirts and make sure they had not been shot.
They were okay I breathed before locking them in their rooms with all their food and toys.
I didn’t rest as I kept looking around for the bullet hole as I wondered what she had shot of it wasn’t me or the children.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“One of my men said you were looking for this,” a police inspector raised a bullet.
“Is that…”
“The bullet she had shot from her gun? Yes it is.” He smiled. “Now you can rest easy.”
I heaved a sigh of relief now the bullet had been found. I could not believe I had almost been killed by that tiny thing.
This would have been the second time I was getting shot by the bullet and I didn’t want to be shot again.
“She will be gotten and placed in prison very soon ma’am,” he reassured me. “You shouldn’t worry about her.”
“I should,” I sighed. “She almost killed me and my children. I need her taken off the grid. I can’t imagine her coming back to kill us again.”
“The security here is tighter than even what the president is used to. Don’t you worry. No one can get to you.”
But I doubted that he was right. Delia was a snake. She always found a way to get into places that was closed off to her.
How she had grown from that girl in the restaurant who couldn’t blackmail me to this girl who had shot me, poisoned me and kidnapped me is still a mystery. This was a growth that she had done in such a short time.
She was so much comparable to me that I could see her beating me in so many instances. She had beaten me of I’m beating honest.
She had me kidnapped and had almost killed me.
“I’ll be right back,” he stopped to go as I suddenly got scared that if he left, she could come back and try to kill me again.
I rushed to the bar to take a drink. This was the best way to calm my nerves. It was better than doing drugs.
