Another Chance for the Luna Queen by Aurora Starling

Chapter 0286

Ella POV

I watched as the other cars reached the building. Alexander had just entered, the door hadn't even swung shut behind him yet.

The black car, the one that Alexander's men were in, stopped first. Four men, each in a black suit, jumped out of the car immediatley. One of them ran towards the building, the others stood near the car, glaring at the oncoming

blue cars.

The first to stop was the darker blue and out stepped four men. They were dressed in casual clothes, each of them with a mean looking grin on their face.

Without a word passing between them, they rushed at Alexander's men. My face paled as I watched a brutal fight begin.

Then the lighter blue car approached. It stopped and so did my heart.

David was in that car. He had to be. They had Alexander's men outnumbered. I had to find a way to delay them, to buy him some time. Just a few minutes would be enough.

The driver's side door opened and one large, bald man stepped out. He had huge shoulders and bulging muscles. He walked past the other fighting men towards the building

Alexander's guard who had run ahead intercepted him. They began to fight.

I looked back at the light blue car. The passenger door flew open.

David stepped out.

I felt my breath catch.

Alexander's four men were fighting of the five David had hired. They were outnumbered and doing everything they could to hold them off and give Alexander the time he needed inside the building. They couldn't fight David,

100. 100.

That was it. There was no one else to block his access to the building. Someone had to stop him or we were really in trouble. But there was no one left.

No one but me.

Alexander's voice from a few moments earlier echoed in my mind.

"Stay in the car."

I threw the door open and rushed out, stumbling slightly in my hate. My heart was thundering in my ears, but I
