Lady Melissa opened her eyes, not feeling the impact of the bullet at all, thinking that perhaps she was dead and that for some strange reason she hadn't felt the pain of the bullet at all.
Instead, she was met with Duke Mason in front of her, protecting her just a few seconds before the bullet was about to hit her.
Duke Mason clutched his heart, blood seeping out from his body from the bullet that was fired earlier.
"I'm okay."
Duke Mason said, with a painful expression on his face, using his right hand to cover the gun so that the man wouldn't be able to shoot anywhere else except for the duke's hands.
Lady Melissa had a panicked expression on her face, Duke Mason getting hit by a bullet was one thing.
But getting hit by a bullet because of HER? Now that was a completely different thing. Lady Melissa was worried what the man would do, especially with the sinister laugh he had just given to the both of them.
