CHANYEOL'S P.O.V.

Baekhyun and D.O. we're still laughing hysterically when our watches suddenly gave a distress alarm. Sehun suddenly ran out of the room shrugging on his black leather jacket. All four of us were suddenly quiet and serious. I can only hear the little clicks and twangs of four men suddenly checking guns for bullets and inspecting hidden knives.

"Go ahead get down to the car. Start the engine while I call Xiumin." I instructed them.
Elle stood on the doorway dressed but pale. Sehun hugged her tightly and kissed the top of her head. "Promise me you will comeback to me." I heard her whisper. "I promise, I will comeback no matter what." Sehun walked away at a fast clip.

My phone rang. It's Xiumin. "Where!" I barked even before Xiumin can say a word."Elevator #5 between 3rd and 4th. I managed to stop it before it got to lobby. Pali! Pali! She's bleeding out!" He replied.

I started cursing vehemently and cut off the call as I flew down the stairs and jumped over Baekhyun to land on the front passenger seat. Sehun drove like a bat out of hell. He drove in nine minutes what would normally take a twenty minute drive. The car was burning rubber by the time we arrived. We all jumped out and fanned out. I took the stairs three at a time until I reached the fourth floor. Adrenaline allowed me to pry open door to the elevators.

My blood turned to ice when the door opened. Lana was crumpled on the floor in a pool of blood. NO!!!!! Don't be dead. Please don't be dead! I kneeled to pick her up, uncaring that my clothes are now getting soaked in her blood. I hugged her tightly to my chest.

That's when she weakly opened her eyes, "Channie.....I....love...you......glad....here................don't.............want............to die ..........alone" she smiled up to me. Lana brought her hand up to touch my cheek and wipe away the tears that are now freely flowing from my eyes. "Don't cry......Call Suho.......I gave him instructions. Tell him this exact words...Osiris .....needs .......Isis"

"You won't die! I won't let you!" I insisted.

"Promise me." She whispered before her eyes fluttered close and her hand fell to her sides.
"I promise" I cried. "Xiumin!!!!! Where's Lay?!!?!? I shouted as I stood up and kicked the button to the lobby, Lana cradled in my arms.

"Lay is in the hospital getting ready. I have Kai. He's bleeding badly too." Xiumin replied into my earpiece. The doors opened and I walked out. Baekhyun and D.O. immediately flanked me with guns drawn. I can see Sehun ahead, he's got the car ready. We peeled out so fast, I was thrown back in my seat. For once I am not gonna yell at the maknae to slow down.

At the hospital, Yixing/Lay met us at the entrance. People scurrying to follow his instructions. He had Lana on a gurney and wheeled into a treatment area in seconds. I moved to follow but he had a hand to my chest. "We both know I cannot stop you from going in there. But to save her I need you to stay out of the way." He spoke softly. I nodded my understanding and remained standing where I was. Yixing glanced behind me and drew me aside. Kai was being wheeled in unconscious, bruised, bleeding and pale.

Baekhyun pulled me over to a nearby waiting room. Xiumin was seated wearing bloody clothing. D.O. is standing to the side clenching his fist. Sehun was talking on the phone but stopped as soon as I walked in. "Sehun go and secure Ellie and my mother. Anybody else have someone that needs to be safe?" I got a few nods and a few replies on our earpieces. "Sehun, take all of them to our safe house. You and Jongdae guard them. We don't need anyone else getting hurt. Everyone else get ready. We are in for a fight. I'm going after him this time."

Nobody protested this time. I pulled out my phone and called Suho. I promised Lana. I told him everything that has happened and told him the words Lana made me promise to tell him.
Suho arrived thirty minutes later. He had a briefcase and a grim expression. "Lana?" was all he said. "Nothing yet" I replied. He asked me to go walk to a nearby table. "Sign here and here. Lana's wishes." He said curtly. I signed without reading anything.

"Congratulations, you are now officially Lana's only living heir to her multi-billion dollar holdings. You now have access to all her power and wealth. Unfortunately this also means that should she die, you have a large painted target on your back." He stated.

I whipped around and shouted at him. "She's not going to die!"

Suho calmly replied "Nobody in this room wants her to die. But someone out there sure does. This is the second effective attempt on her life."

"When was the first?" Baekhyun asked this time.

"The car accident that killed her father. We had it investigated covertly. Her father wasn't the target. It was her. Most people don't know this but her wealth came from mother. Her father was just a brilliant investor and businessman. The attempts on her life started when she was about ten. Her mother refused a wealthy Chinese family attempting to make an arranged marriage with Lana and their son. They wanted a merger of both business and family. The family went bankrupt and had hardship. They blamed it all on Lana and her family. Lana's mother refused because she said her daughter should be free to love whom ever she wants and her daughter already chose someone with her heart."

"We still can't prove it but Lana's mother died of poisoning." Suho said while frowning.

"My investigator brought this to me a few hours ago. I was going to give it to Lana in the morning. I guess you should have it" Suho dropped a clear ziplock bag on my hand. Inside was a pink plastic ring on a gold chain. It was the one I gave Lana when I "married" her when she was six.

I broke down completely after that.
