《The Billionaire's Proposal》Rescuing Her (Part II)
Advertisement
I closed my eyes as I waited for the impact of the bullet only that there was none. When I opened my eyes the gun wasn't pointed at me anymore but there was a bullet whole in the wall near my head.
"I'm not going to kill you," Leila stated as she sets the gun down. "At least not yet."
Damon grabs Leila and pulls her out of the room. "We aren't killing her at all. That isn't part of the plan."
Their voice were muffled by the doe but I could still here them.
"That girl is the only thing getting in my way of having Adrian to myself again." Leila answers.
"That girl is daughter of the president of France!" Damon exclaims. "And let me remind you that if you hurt her WE will have to face the consequences."
"I don't care if she daughter of the president of France or queen of England!" Leila snaps. "Adrian won't get back with me if she's alive."
"Leila let me remind you that your married." Damon retorts.
"And let me remind you that there's something called divorce." Leila responds. "Now even if I do let her live, do you actually think she will take you back.
No, I wouldn't.
"Do you actually think Adrian would take you back?" Damon retorts. "After all you did lie to him."
"I didn't lie to him! I was pregnant." My heart stops at this revelation.
"But not with his baby." My eyebrows knit together as I continue to listen.
"And that's why I left him." Leila states. "I needed to get rid of the thing Daniel had given me. No one could know that I was pregnant with Daniel's baby. And Daniel still had to believe I did have a miscarriage!"
My eyes widen and my jaw drops to the floor. Leila was pregnant with Daniel's baby.
"Did you hear that?" Damon asked causing my eyebrows to knit in confusion.
"Jane!" Adrian's voice calls out and my heart leaps in happiness. He found me!
"They found us!" Leila states alarmed.
"We are getting my daughter back," Mr. Zamora states. "And whoever took her is going to wish they've never done it!"
Mr. Zamora and his family immediately hopped on their jet and flew here as soon as they found out Jane was taken.
"We found the exact location of Jane." Agent Sanchez announced as he looked up from his computer.
"Lets go get her then." Sebastian saids as he loads his gun Agent Sanchez had given him.

"What's all the racket about?" Daniel asks as he descends the stairs half asleep.
"While you were in your room sleeping Jane was taken!" Angelica snaps.
Daniel returns a blank expression. "J-Jane was taken?"
"Yes you dimwit," Gabby answered. "That's what Angelica just said."
"We are going to go find her now so if you don't mind we need to leave." I state.
"I'll come with you." Daniel offers causing us to look at him surprised.
"Since when do you care for someone other than yourself?" I ask with a raised eyebrow.
"I've lost someone I loved before," He answers as he looks at the ground. We all knew who he was referring to: Leila. "And I don't wish that to anybody not even you."
I sigh. "Fine then. Grab a gun and lets go." Daniel obliged and soon we were all out of the house.
Mrs. Zamora, Jane's sisters, my mom, Gabby, and Angelica all stayed at the house in case anything happened. All eight of us hopped into the two cars.
"It saids here that she's in the outskirts of the city." Jerald informs.
"Should we have called the police?" Daniel asks.
"It's best of their is few of us that way they won't detect us." Agent Sanchez informs. "In case things get back I'll call for backup."
"Lets just hope things don't get bad." Sebastian replies and we nod in agreement.
Jane, here I come!
* * *
"That's the house right there." Agent Sanchez states. A couple of feet away was an old abandoned house. "It's best we leave the cars here that way they won't hear us arrive."
We get out of the cars and hold ours guns tightly as we begin approaching the house.
"Jane!" My thought accelerated at the million thoughts going through my mind.
"That was a gun shot." Daniel saids stating the obvious.
I was about to run to the house but Agent Sanchez stopped me. "If you go in there they will know we are here."
"That's my wife in there!" I snap.
"I know," He responds. "But what if they didn't shoot her? If they know we are here then they will hurt her."
Daniel walks over to me. "Adrian calm down. Jane's going to be fine but if you run in there blindly not only will you risk her life but also yours. Jane wouldn't be happy knowing you got hurt while trying to save her."
I look up to meet my brother's worried eyes. For the first time in a long time I see that brotherly love flash through his eyes.

"Alright." I sigh in defeat and Daniel pats my shoulder.
"This is the plan," Daniel turns to face everyone. "Jerald, Mr. Zamora, and Dad you'll block any exits. Sebastian you and James take the front way while Adrian and I take the back. Agent Sanchez you'll block the front door."
We all nod before getting into our rightful spots. Quietly Daniel and I enter through the back door. The floor creaked under my wait and I mentally cursed myself.
"Did you hear that?" Damon's voice stated and my jaw clenched.
"Jane!" I exclaimed and then I heard Leila's voice.
"They found us!"
Daniel and I made our way towards the voices. We heard a door shut and we ran towards the sound. We stopped in front of a door leading to the basement. I slowly opened the door and we descended the stairs.
"Adrian watch out!" Daniel pushed me out of the way as a gun shot filled the room followed by Jane screaming.
Two figures were making their way through the other basement door. I pick up my gun I shoot one in the leg. They curse but continue running. Daniel was on the floor clutching his arm.
"Daniel! Are you okay?" I ask and he groans.
"I just got shot what do you think?" He retorts. "Go take care of Jane, I'll be okay."
I run over to Jane who was tied up to a chair. "I'm here, everything okay."
I untied the ropes and set her free. She engulfed me into a hug as tears ran down her face. I held her close to me as I shed a few tears as well.
"Don't mean to ruin the beautiful moment but I kinda got shot so..." Jane and I help Daniel into the chair.
"Jane!" The rest of the guys walk into the room.
"Dad!" Jane was engulfed into a comforting hug by her dad as Agent Sanchez called an ambulance and Jerald tried to stable Daniel's wound.
"Did you guys catch them?" Adrian asks as he pulls me closer to him.
They all look at the floor in shame. "We couldn't. They ran into the woods and disappeared."
"If it's Leila who did this she won't stop so easily." Daniel states as the paramedics wraps his arm in a bandage. Thankfully the bullet only scrapped him. "You guys are going to have to up your security and I think it's best if Jane has a body guard."
Adrian nods in agreement. "I'm not going to let Leila or anyone hurt you."
He turns to his brother. "Thank you Daniel. Not only for helping save Jane but for saving my life."
Daniel smiles up at Adrian. "I'll take a bullet for you anytime brother. Also, I'm sorry for being a douchebag these past couple of years. I've realized that it wasn't your fault it was Leila's. She was the liar."
"It's okay." Adrian answers. "It was also my fault. I should've never dated her after your break up, it was wrong. I'm sorry."
"You have nothing to be sorry about." Daniel asks. "Leila lied to you. She lied to all of us. She told me she had a miscarriage but in reality she aborted our baby."
My mind goes back to earlier.
"That's not true." I state and everyone turns to look at me. "She lied to you. She didn't abort nor did she have a miscarriage. I think she put your baby up for adoption."
Daniel's face lit up. "But-"
"I heard her and Damon talking about that. Your daughter or son is still alive." I inform.
"I need to find my child." Daniel states.
"And we will help you." Adrian replies as his dad nods in agreement.
"Wait how many years ago did this happen?" I ask.
"About five years." Daniel answers.
"Who's a cute baby?" I blow kisses into the baby boy's belly causing him to giggle. His baby blue eyes stared at me causing me to smile.
"You'll be a great mom one day." Linda states.
I smile up at her. "I'm only sixteen."
I turn to look at the blonde haired blue eyed baby in front of me.
"I wonder why would anyone give up the chance of being the mother of such a beautiful baby." I state as I stroke his cheek. "When I am old enough I'll make sure this little guy gets a proper family."
"You know you would make a great mother for him." Linda replied. "I'm sure he would love that."
I smile at the baby boy in my arms.
"Jane are you alright?" Adrian asks concerned.
I look at Daniel and the image of the baby boy pops into my eyes. Same baby blue eyes. No, it can't be.
"Noah."

Regis and Charlotte
Regis knows it's an illusion. He's only ever seen Princess Charlotte from afar; only heard her voice when she spoke to a crowd. Sure he's good at reading people, but he knows she of all people will be wearing a perfect mask. The problem is he's in love with the illusion, and it's not going away. So he strikes out on a quest: win the fighting tournament held every year, where she gives out the prize, and hypothetically—just hypothetically—he can forfeit the monetary winnings and instead ask for a week to be close to her, to get to know the real her, and break the illusion once and for all.

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.
