Chapter 165 - Everything escalated

I was going out through the window, when I heard the sound of a trigger being pulled.

"F*ck!" I cursed as the bastard has managed to reach for his gun and fired a shot at me. Thank heaven I noticed earlier.

I subconsciously let go of the window frame before the shot was fired. My back hit the balcony bar and luckily, I didn't fell towards the outside, which I doubted I will survive.

My body crashed into the balcony with a loud thud. I hit the floor with my face slamming on the marble floor. I nearly passed out from the impact, while blood oozed out of my nose.

"Aaaaaarrrrggghhh!" I heard the cries of agony comes from Shane's room. It was his voice and I'm glad I get to hear it.

The needle is finally taking effect. I need to leave though. It was as if his cries transferred energy to me. I got up, groaned in pain and stared at the blood from my waist, which has soaked my trousers and streamed down my left leg to my boot.

I winced in pain, but didn't have anything to stop the bleeding. I began climbing down. It wasn't a fun climb, like when I was going up. Each stretch of my muscles hurt like hell, making me feel like letting go and just die, as the pain was becoming unbearable.

I gritted my teeth. Shane's nonstop cries kept doing the trick. It kept keeping me conscious and making me realize how I need to escape and find out how his life turned out after tonight.

My foot finally touches the ground. Each step I took left footprint of my shoes inked with blood. I got to where my escaping rope was tied and reached for it.

I clutched it tightly and began climbing up.

...

{Inside Shane's room}

"Sir! Are you okay?" A continuous bang was heard at the door.

Thanks to his craziness; his guard couldn't just barge into his room. He made sure everyone is far from the main house vicinity, as he didn't want disrespect and too much closeness with Stella.

He has learnt his lesson with Maris and didn't want another person getting soft hearted over Stella's story and plan to kill him for her.

He didn't allow her to interact with anyone, except her customers at work, while there are skilled guard, having their eyes on her.

"GET IN HERE!" he growled in between his cries and the door opened.

The black suited men, whom aren't ordinary guards of course rushed in, while more footsteps could be heard. More of them were coming.

Two of them traced Diana's blood footprint on the floor and quickly headed towards the window.

Two helped Shane up, but his cries only got louder, as his internal organs felt like they were set on fire, coupled with his blood lost, he looked extremely pale.

"KILL THAT BASTARD!" Shane screamed. "Water!" he added.

{Diana's POV}

I was about to climb down outside the fence, when loads of gunshot flew towards me. My grip on the rope loosened and I fell, but quickly reach out my hand In mid air and got a hold of the rope I left hanging at the other side.

My body slammed against the wall, but I managed to escape the falling. His boys were climbing down the window after me as well, while some headed out of the main entrance to catch me if the ones that are climbing didn't.

I was nearly down the fence from my fall a while ago, so I let go of the rope. Immediately my foot touches the ground, I picked up my backpack, held one hand to my wound and ran.

....

Meanwhile.

Nathan was sleeping in his room, when he received a call. He got up and picked it.

His brow creased immediately he identified the caller, "what happened?" he asked.

"Boss, TUD attempt to assassinate Shane." The informant on Shane's side for Nathan said.

"That Idiot!" Nathan growled and threw away his phone in annoyance.

He got up and dashed out of his room, while he tapped the attention alarm to get everyone together.

It's not that he couldn't assassinate him if he wanted to, but knew what will come after, which is why he wanted to end him at once.

Even though Shane didn't have much men like he did, his people aren't few either and also, they didn't only base in one country, since they are involved with terrorists.

If he carelessly killed Shane; his men will come for revenge at all cost. With him alive; they are still under control as his order must be followed.

He knew they will win the war, but the lost will be too much. All Shane's people were skilled, while most of Nathan's people were not just anyhow people.

They have one pain or the other that brought them their. They consider the base their home and he couldn't dare risk their life, and also, most were still under training.

Which is why they have been locating their hideout and planned to strike at once. Diana was just an ordinary girl, but tried to kill Shane after he took her in.

Unknown to Diana, her attempt on Shane equals the entire organization attempt. She's one of them now and represented them.

And yes! the reporter claimed she attempted, which means Shane still lives. All he needs to do is give the order to his men.

Aroma got out of her room and managed to meet the furious Nathan on the way. "Boss what happened?" she asked.

"Contact all the base and asked them to prepare for attacks. Your idiot student tried to assassinate Shane." Nathan said in anger and rushed past her.

Aroma's eyes widened in shock, "Is she okay?" she asked.

"Do as I ask!" Nathan growled at her.

....

Back at Shane's room.

He took cold water nonstop, but it's not helping. And yeah! He lost it and believed Nathan's organization trained Diana, so she could get revenge on him.

The moment he could speak a bit clearly, instead of agony cries; he gave his order to one of his boys, who left immediately to contact those who has been planning Nathan's organization attack, just incase Nathan make a move.

He suddenly cried out loud again, as the intake water seem to be getting hot in his stomach as well. He was covered in blood, with his stomach bloated.

With the support of his boys; they helped him out of the house. "My wife! you two stay with her. Killed anyone that comes near her." he said and 2 of the 4 guys that stayed behind to help him went back to monitor Stella.

…..

{Diana's POV}

I ran as fast as I can, but it didn't take too long before those guys climbed down the fence. Yeah! I recalled how fun and easy it was while I was still healthy like them and scaling in.

It was dark, and my outfits blend well with the darkness, but damn those street lights, they existed.

"There she is." I heard distant voices and gunshots followed. I kept running and thankfully the bullets missed me.

I took a turn, making me out of their view and free from gunshots for a while, but I was getting exhausted. The bloodlost is getting too much and my speed slowed down.

I was just as pale as I imagined Shane to be. I was losing hope. "Is this the end?" I muttered to myself.

My vision has started going blurry when a car speeds up beside me. I thought it was them, but then I heard a familiar voice.

"Diana get in!" Ethan screamed and opened the back door of the car.

My eyes went wide and my heartbeat quickened. My energy that seem to be draining went quarter full.

I went inside the back seat and shut the door. I dropped my bag in the back seat and find my way to the shotgun seat.

He stepped on the accelerator as a shot was fired at the car, breaking the back windscreen.

We both ducked our heads as more shots followed and Ethan drove away at full speed.
