Chapter 9 - The Final Choice
Valerie aimed the heavy, suppressed weapon directly at my swollen stomach with zero hesitation in her eyes.
Before she could squeeze the trigger, the heavy wooden door of my hospital room was violently kicked open.
Mark burst into the room, entirely out of breath, having heard the emergency alarm from the elevator lobby.
He immediately dove across the room, completely shielding my body with his own without a single thought for his safety.
A muffled gunshot echoed loudly in the small room, shattering the window directly behind my head.
Valerie aggressively cocked the weapon again, fully prepared to execute both of us in cold blood.
Suddenly, a heavily bandaged, severely burned figure violently tackled her entirely from the open hallway.
Alex had desperately dragged himself completely out of his ICU bed when he heard the emergency code on my floor.
He completely ignored his own agonizing pain, fighting Valerie fiercely for control of the deadly weapon.
They crashed violently through the shattered hospital window, struggling wildly on the narrow, precarious concrete ledge outside.
Valerie laughed maniacally, completely determined to drag him entirely down to hell with her.
She aggressively twisted the gun toward his chest and pulled the heavy trigger.
A fatal shot rang out, striking Alex directly in the heart just as he forcefully pushed her entirely off the edge.
They plummeted violently down to the concrete courtyard below, ending their toxic, destructive bond forever.
