Chapter 39: Bulletproof?
Everything happened too fast. The sound of the gunshot was as loud as thunder in the burning hallway.
Danielle's reaction was too slow, her body was refusing to do anything from fear, her eyes were not blinking.
She saw the bullet speeding toward her, but before she could even gasp, Theo…!.
He jumped in front of her, his body slammed against hers, forcing her to the floor. The gunfire roared through the smoke.
The impact hit Theo's chest with a thud, loud enough to make Danielle come back to focus.
"Theo!" she cried, yelling as they both hit the ground hard.
For a second, time seemed to stop…slowly, second by second, Danielle managed to look at her surroundings…and her bodyguard?
Theo wasn't moving…His body was on top of hers, way heavier than she thought, shielding her like a wall.
Her hands were shaking as she tried to touch him. "Theo, please," she whispered. "No, no, no…"
