I have a heart

Milena's POV

Pain, excruciating pain. If there's another word for pain then what I'm feeling is worst than that. Isabella is in cohorts with Trevor, to do what I don't know yet but I intend to find out.

So, when the door blew up the first thing I went after was the papers that has been scattered on the floor due to the blast. Funny how I gathered a few of them in the fog despite the toxicity of the gas, which was the reason I didn't see Trevor escape. I feel a tightness in my chest that I can barely breathe but that won't stop me.

The fog was clearing up but that didn't stop me from coughing, intermittently, I recall Logan was knocked out so I dropped on my knees in search of him only to find him with Edward with some boys. I would have loved to reprimand them for blowing up the door but Logan's health is more important at the moment.

" Is he breathing?" Edward brings his index and middle to his neck and nods then signals for more boys to come in. Amongst them were paramedics who were carrying stretchers and others with clothing, first aid boxes, and oxygen masks. One of them tended to fix an oxygen mask for me but I stopped him then takes the mask from him and put it on Logan's nose. His breathing became audible which has me puffing out an exasperated breath, in relief.

He was alive. Trevor almost gave me a heart attack when he pointed those guns at him and for a minute there I was scared, not scared of Trevor but of myself; The decision I was going to make to save his life. Maximilian's death was a reminder that he won't hesitate to eliminate him. Seeing Logan's life flash before my eyes erased all senses of reasoning and at that very moment, I knew I was ready to do anything to save him. Whatever the cost. I didn't even recognize myself. I, selfish cold Miley saved Logan's life.

I still get goosebumps from thinking about it. About how much I have changed since my heart started beating for someone. The wrong person maybe but at least it's beating. I have a heart after all. I grew up learning I didn't have one from others even in the air force.

" Yes, Are you okay? The doormen won't let me in. So, I had to use force " He explains with eyes scouting the room then he pointed at three boys who cocked their guns, leaving the room. A wheezing sound interrupted our conversation I turned around to find Isabella on the floor unconscious.

" Isa? I need an oxygen mask " I say hurrying her way then stopping by her side and lifting her after tucking the papers in my pants pocket. I puff out an exasperated breath when I felt a pulse but it was faint. Paramedic quickly came over and started applying first aid. I remain in my initial position; squatting thinking about her betrayal. She watched Trevor kill someone and said nothing. She didn't gasp or... ooh I have a lot of questions for her and trust me, she's going to provide answers whether she likes it or not.

" Sir Leon said you weren't picking up his calls" I hiss when he mentioned his name and stroll out of the foggy room still coughing. Leon might have saved the day but he hurt me. He may think I don't know about his affair but I do. I'm playing safe because I know someone took those photos on purpose to separate us. One of the paramedics run after me and offer a bottle of water which I accepted without an appreciation of course.

" You need to lie down. Your lungs might have inhaled the toxic gas. don't worry it won't take long to clear it up" he says and I nod. Honestly, I can still feel the tightness in my chest and I know it's because of Isabella's betrayal but let's give the young man some credit after all he's doing his job.

Staff members were whispering when they saw us being taken to the ambulance van while Edward trailed behind us. Cars were assembled outside the airport giving me the feeling that someone is really protecting me from danger and that person is screwing another woman. Maybe he came into my life to really teach me a lesson. I think I'm beginning to know how people feel when I belittle them because that's how I feel right now.

Humiliated, imperiled, and aggravated yet I can't do anything about it because he's more powerful, more wealthy, and connected than me.

I'd be damn if I don't admit to this yet his betrayal is nothing compared to Isabella's. My blood sister connived with a stranger to extort money from me or whatever that is in these papers which I'm about to find out soon.

Soon, I'll know what he's after and why she did it. These papers hold the answers to it all.

Drowsy. My eyes are spinning like I'm sinking into a deep dark hole. The paramedics must have given me some sedatives. I tried keeping my eyes open only for the hole to swallow me whole.

Julian's POV

My hands have been tapping on the desk since I gave an order for Edward to interrupt that meeting and stop Lena from signing the contract. He hasn't called back and I'm running out of patience.

Tired of waiting, I grab my suit jacket and then dialed my secretary's number; who came within the next seconds.

" You sent for me Sir?"

" Clear my desk. Postponed the deals. We're going to Sweden" she squints her eyes probably against it as it was a big deal for me but I can't work with a troubled mind. I might end up constituting a nuisance and that's irreversible. I'd rather be with Lena. I hope she's fine.

" Yes, Sir but what about miss Iona? Is she coming?" She asks and I glare at her. She quickly curtsied and then hurried out of the room. I call for Sim to get the private jet ready.

The flight to Sweden was short and I'm grateful for that. I tap on Lena's tracker and her location appears.

A hospital.

My mind skips at the thought of her being hurt. What did that bastard do to her? Was I too late again?

" Drive faster Sim" I urge dialing away on my phone to reach Edward. He picks up though.

" Sir, I'm sorry for not calling. Trevor got away but my men are after him as we speak" he says getting me angry. How many times will I tell him not to be reckless? I wonder where on earth will he run to.

This is going to be fun. Chasing him.

" Where's Lena? " I ask instead.

" Sleeping. There were complications after I blew up the door. I didn't know it was that bad. Trevor had armed men in the room and he Killed her SO. Logan and Isabella is unconscious and Mrs. Conor was getting agitated so I had them sedate her" fuck! This is bad. Where did he get those men from?
