Loud voices came into the room, and one of the guards rushed in, picked her up, and took her into Aria’s office.
“Oh, my God. What happened?” Aria screamed and raced toward the leather sofa the guard set her on.
Rebeka wanted to calm Aria down but couldn’t think of how to do it. She sat in a daze as people talked around her.
“Bullets came through the window, and one of them hit Miss Rebeka in the shoulder.”
“Go call Dr. Morris,” Aria told the guard. She looked at a few of the maids. “Go get towels and a bowl of hot water and meet us up in their room.”
The maids scurried out.
“Sweetheart, let me pick her up,” Mateo said.
“No, I can walk,” Rebeka said.
Aria grabbed her hand. “Please let us take care of you.”
Rebeka nodded and then sucked in a breath when her shoulder started to burn. She pressed on it and then looked at her hand to see blood.
“I’m bleeding?” Why in the hell was she bleeding?
“Yes, honey. Let’s get you to your room.”
Mateo carefully picked her up. But even that made what felt like a fiery spike stab into her shoulder. She moaned and laid her head on his shoulder. Every step he took to the bedroom was excruciating.
“I don’t want to get blood on the mattress,” Rebeka said when they walked through the door.
“Honey. Please don’t worry about anything. We need you to relax as much as you can until the doctor comes, and then he’ll give you some pain medication,” Mateo said.
Aria pulled back the blankets.
Mateo laid her down, and Aria started to unbutton hershirt.
Rebeka grabbed the fabric. “Wait. There are men in the room.”
Aria smiled gently and then looked over her shoulder. “Can you guys wait out in the hallway?”
Her guys chuckled but did what she said.
“Where the fuck is she?” a voice bellowed from downstairs.
Trent whistled. “She’s in your room.”
Rebeka heard someone running up the stairs and down the hallway. She was startled when the door was thrust open but then relaxed when she saw it was Dominic.
“What the fuck happened?” He walked close and stood over her.
“A bullet came through one of the windows and hit her shoulder,” Aria said.
“I want every bit of information your security guards can get me as soon as possible.”
Aria nodded. “You’ll have it within the hour.”
She could tell he wanted to touch her, but his gaze kept returning to the blood on her shirt.
“I’m going to be okay,” Rebeka said.
“Mother, let me take care of her.”
