Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife-Chapter 419 Holding on

She could taste iron in her mouth before the feel of liquid registered in her senses. Her last thoughts were about who was going to take care of Gu Zhou as she was about to die.

Alexa smirked and adjusts her suit jacket; she had warned her but she's at hard of hearing. Picking up her purse, she walked out of the house like nothing had happened.

Edward was a stubborn and insistent man; Amy would just have to learn to love that part of him too and accept it. He had started working but had grown tired and had started missing her very badly.

Nothing was more important than Amy, not even his work. So, he had packed everything up and put on his suit jacket.

He was going over earlier than was expected; of course, she was going to be mad but the make-up sex was always the best.

Edward decided to get some food even though she was going to cook, they could always eat it as breakfast the next day or a midnight power snack. He also got her some ixora's from her favorite florist.

Edward berated himself a little as he drove to Amy's house, his face all smiley and his heart beating faster with every mile he covered.

He was the head of a very powerful organization but couldn't seem to focus anymore because of one tiny human being. He would have to pick up his slack at some point but that point was not today.

Edward drive as fast as he could, his arms itching to hold Amy again; she fit so perfectly against him.

Just as he was pulling up into her driveway, he saw Gu Zhou coming down from a jeep and wondered why the young boy was just coming home now.

He went over to greet the woman that was dropping him off and to also make sure that Gu Zhou was okay.

"How was school today?" asked Edward as they walked to the house together.

"It was awesome, we played a lot of games." Gu Zhou replied, happiness clear in his voice.

"What about studying?"

"We did that too, a little bit."

Edward parted his shoulder, head only asked because he knew Amy would ask. That had been the primary reason for the sleepover and he wasn't sure she was going to like the sound of Gu Zhou having spent half the time playing games.

"Where is my sister?" Gu Zhou asked.

"She's already home."

They both walked to the door, talking about Gu Zhou's sleep over and the fun that he had. Edward rang the doorbell and waited for an answer, when Amy didn't come rushing to get it he rang the bell again.

He began to get worried when she didn't answer after the fourth ring, that was so unlike Amy. Gu Zhou got out his keys and put it in the lock but the door came open even before he turned the key.

That was when Edward knew something was wrong. He pushed the door open and entered the house carefully, just in case there was an intruder waiting to pounce.

He made Gu Zhou stay by the front door, not wanting to put the boy in harm's way if there was truly danger. The way Amy's house was designed, you had to go through the kitchen to get into the other parts of the house.

Edward's blood turned cold and his heart seized beating for a few seconds when he saw the pool of blood. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

He threw the flowers and food on the table and rushed round to the other side what his life came crashing to a stop.

There, laying lifeless, with a knife stuck out of her chest was the woman he would do anything for. Edward quickly got out his cell phone and called for an ambulance.

He wanted so badly to hold her but the medics had told him not to touch her in case she was still alive.

Edward hopped she was or he was going to burn a lot of things down. He was very angry and board to kill the person who had done this.

"What is wrong?"

Edward jerked and turned away from Amy's body, her had completely forgotten about Gu Zhou.

He quickly went to the boy before he could come any closer and see his sister in that state. Edward hugged him even as the boy fight against his hold.

"What is wrong?" Gu Zhou asked again.

Edward felt his heart break for both himself and the boy. Right now, he was helpless and Edward hated feeling helpless.

The police and medics soon came and while they did their job, Edward kept Gu Zhou or of the way.

He wanted to follow after them when they carried Amy's body or of the house and into the ambulance but the police had questions.

Edward told them everything he knew and they asked him that they would do their best to find the person who did it.

Fuck them if they actually thought Edward was going to sit on his ass and let the police drag or the matter. He sent a quick text to Viktor and had his team ready to carry out an investigation at once.

Since they couldn't stay in the house as it was now a crime scene, Edward would have to take Gu Zhou in.

He was more than happy to, anything to make Amy less worried when she woke up. Amy, his Amy, rushed to the hospital with a knife sticking out of her chest.

She had looked blue and dead, the woman he had said goodbye a few hours ago was now fighting to hold on to her life. Edward wanted to scream, he wanted to hit something; he also wanted to yell in frustration but couldn't do any of these things.

Edward drive like a mad man to the hospital, sitting Gu Zhou all the way that his sister would 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

be fine when he, Edward, was scared shitless.

He wanted to get to the hospital and find Amy laughing and giving out that her amazing smile that lit up a room. He wanted this to be done sort of sick joke, but it wasn't.
