One week later...

Hunter was losing his patience.

Watching his wife lying on the bed, he couldn't help but cry. Since she took the bullet across her neck, he's been in her hospital room, holding her hand and saying a prayer.

Luckily for him, their unborn baby wasn't harmed. However, Doctors warned him that if she did wake up from her internal injuries, she may never talk again.

"Oh, God. Why did Amy had to suffer? She's a beautiful woman who didn't deserve this. Adam should rot in hell for what he did. He not only hurt my wife, but he hurt his wife as well. Please, let Amy live. I want us to raise out family together," Hunter whispered.

Looking down at his soul mate, he held her hand tightly and allowed the tears to fall from his eyes. He only hoped and prayed that she would survive.

Because he loved her too much.

Meanwhile, in another hospital room, Lisa groaned in pain. Her ankle was throbbing in pain and her back was sore. She needed something to ease the pain so badly. Landing the way she landed back at the warehouse was crucial, to say the least.

Her thoughts then shifted to Amy. Adam was a bastard for trying to kill his ex. How could he do this? When Amy told her about his last wife and how she got killed, fear rose within her.

"Adam hired...Alanah's own brother, Sean Morley a.k.a. Val Venis," Amy said softly.

Lisa was so shocked of what Ames said. She couldn't believe Adam would do this. Why does he have such contempt for women like her?

Am I next? Will Adam come after me? Will he hire someone to take me out? Lisa thought with tears falling from her eyes. All these questions rambled in her brain. She wrapped her arms around herself and cried harder.

Will she be able to move on with out living in fear?

Seething, Adam stood outside, holding the same gun in his hand. Amy was still breathing and Lisa was still alive. Furthermore, Hunter will still with his wife, feeding her all kinds of lies to protect her.

Without a second to lose, Adam went inside. He was more determined than ever to get back the woman he loved from that asshole. He was also more determined than ever to take out his wife so she would breathe a word to anyone.

He took a peak around the corner and saw Lisa sitting on the bed, shaking. He smiled before he boldly stepped inside and saw his wife crying.

When she looked up, she was shocked to see her husband standing there, holding the gun in his hand. He smiled at her before he raised the gun and pointed the thing right at her.

"What are you doing here?" Lisa asked, still looking shocked.

"Time to say good-bye, baby. I don't need you anymore," were the last words he said before he pulled the trigger and watched the bullet tear through her flesh.

Satisfied with what he accomplished, Adam took off running, leaving his wounded wife behind. His next step was to get the one woman he loved back and marry her.

"What's going on?" Hunter asked as the doctor hastily ran inside.

"Close the door! I heard a gun shot. Someone got shot!" the doctor said, almost screaming.

Hunter did closed the door just as Amy slowly began to wake up. He heard her groan and immediately ran to her side.

"Baby, baby. Are you awake? Can you talk?" Hunter whispered in her ear.

"I...can...hear...you," she stumbled softly, breathing heavily.

He kissed her forehead just as the doctor checked up on her. "This is amazing. She could speak a little and the way she responded to you is unbelievable."

"So that means she'll be okay? She'll be able to recover?" Hunter asked, his heart beating rapidly.

"Yes. She'll be just fine. I think God answered your prayers Mr. Helmsley." she smiled.

Thank you, God. For sparing my wife, Hunter thought with a smile.

"She never had a chance," one nurse said as she pulled the blanket over Lisa's lifeless body.

"I agree. I mean, whoever did this must hate her so much," another nurse said with sorrow.

"Do she have family out here?"

"Her husband is the only family she has out here. We need to contact him right away."

"God, I feel so bad for him. I don't know how we're gonna break the news to him."

"Believe me, it's not easy. I mean, I lost my husband in a similar fashion and for a time, I couldn't cope with his death. I hope her husband can be able to deal with it," she said with a tiny bit of sadness.

The other nurse shook her head in disbelief. "I hope you're right."

"It...was...Adam," Amy said raggedly.

"Are you sure he did this to you?" one police officer asked while he was writing some things down on a pad.

"Yes, she sure. I saw it with my own two eyes. Ever since he found out we were together, he's been doing all he could to get her back," Hunter said, defending his wife.

"Is Adam married?" the officer asked.

"Yes. Her name is Lisa. He's been treating her badly since they got back together. He kidnaped her and my wife a week ago. That's why she's here," Hunter explained.

Just then, one of the nurses came in and whispered something in the officer's ear. He nodded his head before she left. Then he turned back and looked at the couple.

"I'm sorry to have to say this. Lisa was shot earlier. She died just moments ago," the officer said.

Hunter was shocked and Amy's eyes grew misty. Lisa was dead?

"Do you have any idea of who could pull something like that?" the officer asked.

"Adam!" the couple said together.

The next chapter will be shocking! A face to face meeting ends in tragedy!
