Emily’s Dilemma: Seduced by Billionaire Brothers

A gunshot!

It was loud and blaring, it rang through the air and a scream followed, quietness followed as Emily clamped her mouth shut with her hands. Her eyes widened by the loudness of the sound and also Jackson writhing on the floor, his hands holding his knee in pain.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Jackson oh no!” she exclaimed rushing to his side as the blood pooled out slowly from his burst knee. Jackson grunted in heavy pain, it was difficult to understand the kind of pain he felt, his vision blurred and he had began to see dark spots until Emily face came to focus, her concerned eyes drilling into his as the tears gathered in her eyes.

Confusion settled amongst all of them, and James saw it as a distraction to push Ethan out of the way and gaining possession of the pistol. He aimed it at Ethan who now backed away slowly.

“You stupid idiots!” Emily yelled “He’s bleeding, we need to call an ambulance!”

“Nobody is calling anybody” James ordered “Not until I get my money”

“He’s going to die” Emily cried out loud, the tears spilling from her eyes now as she watched Jackson grunt in pain and this time she placed her hands ontop of his in a bid to stop the bleeding, her fingers stained red with his blood, she wiped her tears.

“Stay still!” she said softly, then she took the hem of her dress and ripped a portion out of it, long enough help stop the bleeding, it wasn’t much but it was the least she could do to keep him alive at least.

Ethan watched them, his eyes radiating with jealousy but still he tried to push it aside, his brother’s life was on the line it wasn’t the time to be jealous about his wife caring for him, not while a gun was pointed at his face with all their lives at risk.

“Put the gun down!” Ethan said quietly but his voice laced with venom. “You don’t want to do anything stupid now Uncle James, because I could make it all go away”

“You think I need you?” James eyes flared angrily, he was now pointing the gun at all of them one after the other with shaky hands, but Ethan had his eyes fixed on him like he was trying to communicate with eyes but James wasn’t looking.

“You think I need you? I don’t bloody need you” James went on

“We really need to get an ambulance” Emily interjected “Shut up!” James yelled

“Shut up! Shut up! It’s all fucked up, everything is all fucked up” he went further his voice sounding like he was having a mental breakdown and was having a hard time keeping it together

“Just put the bloody gun down while I’m being nice” Ethan yelled now

“What are you going to do?” James said back “Call the police? If you’re going to do that you might as well just tell them”

There was silence as everyone looked at each other

“Tell us what?” Emily asked now, she was able to focus now that Jackson’s bleeding had slowed and he held tightly unto her hand unwilling to let go

“Nothing” Ethan said in her direction before turning back to James “Are you crazy? What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

“Since we are in a little game of moment of truth, I have said my truth and now it’s your turn and then everyone takes their turn”

No one said anything so James continued

“I kidnapped Jackson to get attention, to get a lot of money from your father who stole everything from me. I sneaked into the hospital and tried to kill her baby. I mean I did all those things but someone made me do them Ethan your turn” James was smiling, a cunning smile that showed mischief but Ethan was boiling, his whole body shaking with anger or was it fear?

Ethan stayed silent unwilling to speak as all eyes were on him

“Ethan?” James called again, impatient now “Or should I tell them your truth?”

Ethan stayed silent still his brain working, they couldn’t find out what he did especially not Emily

“Fine I will” James said now “Ethan made ” but just as he was about to start his sentence, another gunshot rang in the air, this time sending James to floor with a pool of blood gathering underneath and suddenly men in uniform swarmed the warehouse, rushing to Emily and Jackson immediately.

Emily was crying now as she still held unto Jackson who was getting weaker with every passing minute.

“Stay with me Jackson, I’m here sweetie. Stay with me” she pleaded, her tears mixing with the blood on his face and Ethan rushed to them too.

“Are you okay?” One of the police officers asked and she managed a nod “The ambulance would be here any minute, can you manage to keep it together?”

Emily could barely hear a word as she could feel the walls closing in on her, the chattering around her sounding distant and her heart rate rising higher than she could manage, the only thing she could feel was Jackson’s hand holding unto her

“Emily” she heard him call, so silent she barely heard it followed by a squeeze on her hand and when she looked at him, he was looking back at her, his eyes dim but his focus was on her.

“I’ll be fine” he said “Stay with me, I’m here”

Finally, when the ambulance arrived a blanket was placed around Emily alongside with an oxygen mask, and Jackson was carried away on a stretcher. There was a tiny moment where Ethan was alone with Jackson at the back of the ambulance, and Jackson pulled him by the hem of his shirt, gaining his attention.

“I know what you did” he said and Ethan looked dumbfounded, his heart already racing

“But I won’t say anything because I owe you one, remember the biking incident?”
