All Chapters of Chasing Back The Woman He Destroyed: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Serena's POVRounded up with bursts of unsilenced gunshots outside the building.He covered me with his own body, I thought it was to keep the shards of glass from hurting me."Hey, are you alright?" he asked.The shooting had died down, but sirens wailed all around us.I nodded. “I'm okay,” I whispered back but to be fair, it wasn't totally true.Seriously, what the fuck? How can you go through that and be just fine? My heart was racing."What happened?" I asked."I dunno but we gotta go," he said as he held my hand.I followed behind him closely as we got to the reception.Several other persons were there, workers I presume and other security guards."What's going on?" Damien asked, his gaze on the securities.My attention was drawn to the entrance, outside, where I believe the gunshots had come from."It's Barrister Morris sir," one of the guards replied, his face pale.I didn't know who Morris was but I assumed he was one of the lawyers working under Damien's law firm."What's wro

Serena's POVMy heart skipped a beat the moment I saw him pull a gun out of his Waistband holster.All the anger and tensed up energy vanished, replaced by a cold wind of fear."I'm not going to hurt you Serena, just listen to me," he pleaded, his voice calm, but his hand still held the gun.I swallowed a lump, why did he bring out a gun? Is he going to kill me, I wondered."Alright," I admitted, "You have proved your point, so what do you have to say? I'm listening,” I said, my voice trembled slightly."You can't win the case against me, it's best if you just drop it, and let's settle it peacefully," he said, "that way, you don't get hurt.""So this is what it's all about?" I asked, my voice low, but my gaze was fixed on the gun, "You came here to threaten me?""No, Serena, I wouldn't do that," he said and tossed the gun towards me, "The gun is not loaded, I just needed to get your attention."My gaze darted between the gun and Alexander.Then I picked the gun, having learnt some thi

Serena's POVThe moment we crept through the back door, my heart was pounding hard in my chest. Damien was ahead of us, his steps were silent, and I followed behind him closely, my hand clung to Sophia's cloth, to make sure we were together.Earlier, the armed men had broken through the front door, and shot rapidly hoping for a kill.We ran through another street, it was quiet, like people knew what was going on and hid in their apartments. We ran until we reached a small building at the far end of the street. Sophia banged on the door with shaky hands. Within moments, an old man answered and opened it.“Uncle Charles,” she called as she tried to catch her breath, “Please, let us in.”The man’s eyes widened when he saw us, "Sophia? Please come in," he said.Without delay, he opened the door wider and we went in. We went straight to his living room, our body still trembling from the traumatic near death experience we just had.Sophia explained everything to her uncle.I was too sh

Serena’s POVI placed the phone in my ear, waiting for the person on the other end of the phone to speak up."Hello, Mrs Serena, My name is Jonathan Maxwell, I’m a retired lawyer, now working as a consultant. I was hoping to meet you today. It’s urgent."I didn’t know him, and I also didn't feel comfortable talking to a stranger, especially with the recent happenings around me."I'm sorry sir," I said, "I have a court case later this afternoon. l’m not sure I can make time today.""It won’t take long," he responded, "Just a short meeting. I promise not to waste your time."He sounded very polite and courteous, and the fact that Damien had instructed me to call him, I began to reconsider.Although, I was still cautious."Alright," I said coolly."Good," he responded, "Damien will handle the logistics. I suggest we meet in an hour so you can prepare on time for the court case," he said.From the way he sounded, I could tell he was an old man."Okay," I replied, still unsure if I would s

Alexander's POVToday is the court case between my wife and my dad. I wouldn't say me, because left to me, I'd rather beg Serena and ask for her forgiveness or let her go on her terms.I didn't appreciate her presence in my life, and now that she's no longer with me, my heart bleeds daily.I tried talking to her, but I didn't know how else to warn her.I couldn't tell her Pristine was onto her, it would only make me look like an enemy.If only Serena knows that I'm just a pawn in all of these."Mr Alexander," a voice cut in from behind.I recognized that voice, it belonged to the private investigator I hired to help me check on Serena, to make sure she's safe.I had told him to meet me at a private beach I owned."Yes," I answered without looking back."Is she alive?" I asked, my voice was weak and I wondered if he could hear me because of the strong wind blowing at the beach."Yes," he said, "She's alive, but she was attacked the same night you left."I turned to face him, "I'm not g
