Chapter 10 - Lucas Takes A Bullet To Protect Eleanor From Danger
Before either of them could speak, the glass doors of the penthouse terrace shattered inward with a deafening explosion.
A masked operative dressed in black tactical gear stepped through the debris, leveling a silenced pistol directly at Eleanor.
“Look out!” Lucas roared, lunging forward with incredible speed to shove Eleanor out of the line of fire.
A muffled thud echoed through the ballroom as a high-velocity bullet struck Lucas squarely in the shoulder.
He stumbled backward, crashing against the polished mahogany table and sending champagne flutes shattering across the floor.
Eleanor screamed in absolute horror, dropping to her knees beside Lucas as blood began to soak through his tuxedo jacket.
“Lucas! Oh god, stay with me, look at me!” Eleanor cried, pressing her hands tightly against the widening wound.
The armed operative raised the pistol again, aiming straight for Eleanor while stepping through the broken terrace glass.
Suddenly, a massive security agent tackled the gunman from behind, wrestling the weapon away in a violent struggle.
