THE VICTIM'S FIANCEE

"How did they find me here?" Hailee hissed as her eyes met Alex's and the man recognized her in an instant.

They were separated by two cities and it should have been that after Roland Dimatrio's death, they wouldn't have time to look for her anymore, right?

But, if Hailee thought about this again, of course she would be the first person that the Bodyguards would come looking for after seeing their boss's unnatural death. Apparently, she was the prime suspect.

In her panic, Hailee moved away, trying to cut through the crowd behind her when she saw Alex along with two of his men began running toward her, their gazes implied that; once Hailee was caught, there would be no chance for her to escape their clutches again.

The young girl then would end up rotting in prison, spending the rest of her life surrounded by four walls.

Just imagining the worst possible outcome made Hailee shudder with horror, therefore, with a confused mind and a pounding heart, Hailee tried to run as fast as her legs could take her, trying to herself away from Roland Dimatrio's men.

"Sh*t!" Hailee condemned her inefficiency. There was only one hour left before the plane would take off, if she couldn't make it to the airport in time, then she will miss her flight.

However, on the other hand, with Alex and the two bodyguards around, how could she possibly get to the airport safely? They must have calculated that that was her escape route.

And if Hailee insisted on staying at the airport, then that would be giving herself up voluntarily.

"No, no…" Hailee shook her head vigorously as she ran into a shop and immediately looked for the back door of the place.

Every shop must have an exit door or emergency door and as soon as Hailee saw the sign of the door, she immediately headed there without paying attention to the salesgirl who greeted her kindly.

Out of the corner of her eye, Hailee could see that Alex was hot on her tail, running as fast as he could to catch up to her.

Without thinking, Hailee immediately pushed open the door and found herself in a small alley with lots of garbage piles on her left and right, but at the end of the alley, on the left side, she could vaguely see a big road where many vehicles were passing by.

Hailee couldn't even dare to halt for a second and catch her breath as she immediately dashed toward the end with all her might and reached the mouth of the alley in less than two minutes.

What Hailee didn't expect, however, was that right in the middle of the road, there appeared to be a major accident, it seemed to have happened recently. And, the people were swarming in several groups and formed a circle, quite a distance around the accident zone, evidently too scared to get close.

And, Hailee just happened to run right into the middle of these swarming crowds. She thought of making use of this God sent opportunity and tried to seep further into the crowd, toward the accident zone.

Looking over the shoulders of the people in front of her, Hailee struggled forward, but it didn't take long before her small body got blocked and she couldn't move any further.

While trying to walk through the crowd, Hailee got pushed by the people behind her, who were also curious to see more clearly about the accident that had occurred just a few minutes ago, until finally Hailee stood in front of the crowd and found a luxury car that had toppled over and was now emitting smoke.

Most of the people around were women and even if there were men, they were too old to check whether there were any survivors of the terrible accident or not, while the few young men who were there, did not have the guts to approach the car.

In the distance, approaching ambulance' sirens could be heard. Not just an ambulance but also a fire engine was following behind, it seemed the person called for help had explained in detail the situation and conditions here.

However, this only added to the chaos of the atmosphere, making the people huddle back together and leaving no space for Hailee to run away again.

Hailee kept looking back frantically, checking whether her pursuers had already managed to find her in this sea of ​​people or not.

It seemed that luck was not on Hailee's side, for she saw, not far from where she was being crushed, that Alex along with his two men had already rushed forward, pushing those around them away.

"Sh*t!" Hailee cursed again when the three people moved closer, if she kept silent like this, then just in a few minutes, it was certain that Hailee would not have a chance to run away again.

Just then, the people around Hailee gasped and began pointing their fingers frantically at the overturned car.

"Someone's out! Someone is coming out! " they exclaimed almost like a choir of chorus, but in an out of tune.

Hailee's focus is momentarily diverted when she saw a man trying to open the door of the wrecked car and crawling out of the toppled over car that nearly killed him.

God knew what thoughts had crossed her mind right then, but Hailee's body actually moved forward even before her brain could digest the crazy idea that had suddenly crossed her mind.

There was no way for Hailee to break through the sea of ​​people around her, so she moved forward, half running to the wrecked car and the three young men who had been there to help the victim get out of the car.

"What happened to you!?"Hailee exclaimed frantically, she immediately knelt beside the man who had been covered in blood with wounds from shattered glass and bumps when the accident happened. "Take him to a wider place! Where are the medics!? "

Hailee's frightened voice and panicked facial expression, did not arouse the slightest suspicion from those around her.

"Miss, don't panic, the ambulance is here," said one of the men, trying to calm Hailee down.

Of course Hailee had already seen that the medics were carrying the stretcher in a rush and hurrying over to Hailee, while the firefighters swiftly put out the flames that had begun to appear from the wrecked car on the side of the road.

"Help him! Help him!" Hailee was crying frantically while holding the hand of a stranger who was the victim of an accident she had never even met before.

It was very easy for Hailee to be as natural as possible with her reaction, because after all, she was indeed in a situation that was far from pleasant.

"Calm down miss, we will take him to the hospital," one of the medics said as he tried to lift the man's body onto the stretcher together with his partner, very carefully.

"Sorry, miss who is the victim?" asked the medic, just to be sure of his guess.

Based on the reaction Hailee gave, it was likely that this girl knew the victim.

"I…" Hailee stuttered as she wiped her tears. "I'm his fiance." The words just slid off Hailee's lips.

The medic nodded and invited Hailee to get into the ambulance along with them.

Before the ambulance door was closed, Hailee could see that the three people who were chasing after her could only stare at her unable to do anything at the sudden turn of events.
