The Billionaire Alpha's Secret Baby novel Chapter 6

The injured man was staring at me like he was patiently waiting for me to make a decision.

"Well, fuck it." I muttered under my breath.

"I live in a tiny flat and you have to manage, because, well... we have no choice." I uttered, voicing out my decision to take him to my house.

I knew I was going to regret it later, however, I chose to worry about now.

*****

CONNOR SHELBY

Her footsteps brought me hope.

Lying on this cold hard ground, my mind tethering between consciousness and sub consciousness, the sound of a distant footstep somehow gave me the strength to call for help.

I couldn't see much, the trail of blood seeping from my forehead down to my eyes was almost completely obscuring my vision.

The adrenaline rush during the assault was beginning to wear off and the pain of every hit and blow I took started to hurt like hell. It felt as though, every inch of my body was aching so much, I couldn't lift a muscle or even tried to go after them.

They weren't after the box of money in the truck of my car, neither were they after my phone or any information or any material thing whatsoever.

Thinking about what their motive could be or whose orders they were carrying out was not the priority at the moment.

My priority was staying alive. Or at the very least, clinging long enough to consciousness till I can get help for myself and my driver. He was badly beaten. I hoped with all my heart, he hangs in there.

At first I was skeptical if maybe our assaulters were back, but the figure that approached me from the other side of the road didn't seem like one of the people who did this to me and Rivera, my driver.

But to my relief, it was not them, instead, the unidentified figure that approached the scene looked like that of a woman.

I had no idea what she was trying to do as I was still incoherent but it looked like she was carrying an object like a phone and was trying to make a call, so I instinctively reached out, ignoring the throbbing pain on my arms to grab her by the ankle.

I mumbled some jumbled and weak sound, telling her 'No ambulance' but it seemed like she didn't understand what I was saying or couldn't hear me properly

I felt sorry, but I was glad I did because the sudden contact startled her into jerking back so impulsively, aggravating the sharp ache on my arms and the phone she was holding fell from her hands noisily close to my head.

However, to look on the brighter side, the act made her notice I was lying right there.

She quickly squatted close to me and started yelling if I could hear or see her, then talked about calling 911 to come take us to the hospital.
