NovelEnglishChapter 37 Her heart skipped
Outside the Mayor's Mansion.
Elle came down from the car, she was wearing a black trouser and a black hoodie also. Her hair was packed into a ponytail and
and she also wore high boots to match with it, making her look a villain in a movie. She was putting on a face cap. And she also
wore an airpod in her ear for easy access to Damien.
She pressed a button on the airpod.
"Dam, come out now. It's secured.." She mumbled looking around and then she brought a nose mask and then wore it. She also
brought out glasses, she also wore them.
"I'm going in.." She mumbled and then she started to climb the fence. Then she jumped down causing a thud. That alerted the
guards.
"Who's there?" A voice said and suddenly footsteps wrte heard.
Elle stood with a smirk, she was expecting them anyway.
"Hey, who are you?!" One of them asked and Elle laughed sinisterly.
"Come to momma.."
Damien also jumped down from the fence.
They all charged towards them and they began dealing with them, exchanging blows, kicks with them and soon they were on the
ground lying unconscious. As they were about going, twenty of them rushed out again and one pointed a gun at Damien. Elle
immediately brought out her gun and shot him in the head. He fell to the ground dead. The others charged towards them again
and another round of battle began.
After a while, they were on the ground too, unconscious, some dead.
"We have to hurry Dam, I'm sure Langford is trying to find a way to escape.."
Damien nodded and as they opened the door to the mansion. They saw Langford and some other guards standing behind him.
Langford was terribly shaking. Immediately one of the guards raised his gun to shoot Damien but then Elle stylishly pushed
Damirn away and got shot in her arm.
"Aaargh!" She yelled and fell on her knees.
Damien rushed to her immediately and Langford and his guards used that cue to escape.
"Are you okay?" Damien asked Elle. She nodded and looked at the direction where Langford was and her eyes widened.
"He's gone.." She mumbled and with pain, she pushed off Damien.
"Where's he?!" She yelled in anger. She turned and found him and his guards walking towards his car.
She held her sounded arm which won't stop bringing out blood and ran to him. She raised her gun and cocked it, then she shot
Langford in his leg.
Langford groaned and fell on his knees. His guards turned and tried shooting Elle but then Damien shot three of them from
behind while Elle shot four of them again.
The remaining two tried shooting but their guns were out of bullet. They charged towards Elle who dodged every of their attacks
and with a grunt, she punched both in their stomach and slammed both of their heads together. They fell to the ground
immediately.
Langford groaned and stood up. He opened the car's door and was about entering it when he heard her voice.
"Mayor Langford, I'll advise you not to act smart with us.." She said and Damien pointed the gun at his head while Langford
shivered in fear.
"What do you want? What have I ever done to you?"
"Please don't kill me. Let me go. I promise to give you all you want, my properties and all I have, but please don't kill me. My wife
and kids are in the states. They are waiting for me, please don't kill me.." He begged and Elle laughed.
"I'm not after your life, that is if you cooperate with us. All I want is you..." She smirked.
Langford smirked too.
"I called the police and I'm sure they will be here soon. You will be done for.." He said and Elle clenched her fists angrily..
"You bastard!" She cursed and then hit his head with the gun. He fell unconscious immediately.
"Elle, are you okay? You are bleeding!" He exclaimed and that was when Elle realised that she was bleeding profusely.
"Don't worry, I'm fine.."
"Have you called Blade and his gang already?" She asked and Damien nodded.
"Good. Let's get out of here before the cops arrives .." She said and Dam nodded and then carried Langford out while Elle
followed closely behind.
Later

ELLE'S MANSION.
Elle and Damiem sat in the living room where Damien was trying to remove the bullet from her arm. It was no big deal since they
were trained on how to do so because of emergency.
Elke closed her eyes and folded her lips, she was sweating profusely.
"Ugh!" She groaned and Damien smiled.
"I extracted the bullet already, I'll just disinfect your wounds.." He said and looked at her in the eye.
"It might sting.." He said and Elle used the other hand to take her handkerchief. She nabbed her face and neck with it.
"Do it. Do you really think of me as a child who gets scared of these things.." Elle said and scoffed again and Damiem chuckled.
"You are so bad mouthed.." He told her and started disinfecting her wounds. She would close her eyes and release low grunts.
Soon he was done, he took a plaster and then plastered the surface of the wound.
"I brought some pain relievers, take them and you would be fine.." He told her and she smiled.
"You better take some if you want to get better cause I know you.." He warned her and she smiled again.
"You sound like a doctor..'
"You know I would have been one if.." He paused and she rolled her eyes.
"You are such a fool, I can't believe you gave up your career because of that.." She snapped at him and took her handkerchief
again to nab her face.
Damien sighed and then took then handkerchief from her. He then moved his head closer to hers.
"You are the fool here, I left it because of you, because I wanted to help you.." He said and then there were some minutes of
silence between them. Damien's eyes went to her lips and he started bringing his head more closer to hers.
Elle's eyes widened and something unexpected happened, her heart skipped and then it began to race.
