Dear ex-Wife please be mine again

Chapter 24

Christiana’s POV

As we huddled in the dimly lit storage room, the muffled sounds of chaos and gunfire filtered through the thin walls. My heart pounded in my chest, each beat echoing the dread that consumed me. I clutched Ethan and Emma tightly, trying to keep them as calm as possible. Their little bodies trembled against mine, their wide eyes reflecting the fear that I felt but was desperately trying to mask.

Suddenly, Daniel burst through the door, his face set in a mask of boldness. Despite the bandage on his head, he moved with a confidence that was both reassuring and commanding. “Christiana, stay here with the kids. I’m going to make sure we’re safe.”

I wanted to protest, but the urgency in his voice left no room for debate. “Be careful!” I called after him, my voice strained.

Daniel nodded curtly and slipped back into the chaos.

The moments that followed felt like an eternity. The muffled sounds of commotion grew louder, and I could hear the approaching footsteps of the thieves. My heart sank as I realized that they might find us if they ventured into the storage

room.

Then, without warning, the door to the storage room creaked open slightly. I could see one of the thieves peering in, his gun sweeping the room with a menacing glare. Panic surged through me as I instinctively shielded the kids, praying that we wouldn’t be discovered.

But just as the thief seemed about to push the door open, Daniel appeared from his hiding spot, his movements swift and calculated. He let out a loud shout, drawing the thief’s attention away from us. “Hey! Over here!”

The thief turned, momentarily distracted by Daniel’s voice. Daniel took advantage of the moment, rushing forward and tackling the man to the floor. The two of them held the gun violently, their struggle was of limbs and grunts.

I held my breath, my heart racing as I watched the scene unfold. Daniel’s determination was evident in every move he made. With a powerful shove, he managed to wrestle the gun from the thief’s hand. The thief tried to fight back, but Daniel’s strength and skill were overwhelming.

The fight was intense, with Daniel using his body weight and sheer force to subdue the thief. After a few tense moments, he managed to knock the man out cold, his body collapsing to the floor with a heavy thud. Daniel stood over him, panting but triumphant.
