“Who are you?” She seemed shocked to hear my voice.
“I am Detective Scott from the CSPD. Again, who are you?”
“I’m Ella’s friend. Is she alright?” The woman was scared and sounded worried.
“It looks like she will be.” I could hear the sirens of the approaching ambulance and other officers, someone must have radioed in for backup.
“My husband called the police when I heard the men attacking her. He is also a friend of hers and on his way.” The woman sounded marginally calmer now.
“Really? And just who is your husband?” I didn’t like the sound of what she was saying.
“Joaquin Gray.” Shit!
“Joaquin Gray? The Joaquin Gray? As in the billionaire Joaquin Gray?” That was just my luck.
“Yes. Ella is a family friend and he is on his way to offer his help.”
“Just perfect. Well, I guess you’ll know how things are with her soon enough.”
“Riviana.” The woman, apparently Ella, was yelling at the woman on the phone.
“Take care of her, please.” The woman begged me.
“Already planned on it.” I hung the phone up then and decided to focus on the woman on the ground.
When I turned to look at the woman I felt like something inside of me just clicked into place. It felt like I was seeing the most beautiful woman in the world, even with her being beaten and bruised. She had sweet light latte brown eyes that gave her an innocent look and soft looking light brown hair. She was a little on the shorter side and had a great figure. I felt like I had just looked at someone I’ve known for my whole life but hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Ella.” I whispered her name and pulled her into my arms. That too felt like it was something that I had done many times before even though I knew that this woman was not someone I had ever met before.
Why was my body telling me that I was already in love with this woman? It wasn’t just my body either, it was also my heart. I just felt like I was instantly in love with her. Did love at first sight really exist?
Just then I heard a man shout for the woman I was holding in my arms.
“Ella?”
“Joaquin?” Ella yelled back at him.
“What happened? What did they do to you?” He sounded so worried when he asked her that question and for some reason it made me jealous.
“Mr. Gray I assume?” I snarled at the man.
“Yes, I am Joaquin Gray. And you are?”
“Detective Devon Scott, CSPD.” I glared at him, the wannabe mafia boss.
“Thank you for your help, Detective.” He tried to act all saintly or whatever.
“It wasn’t for you, Mister Gray.” I couldn’t help the sneer that was in my voice.
“Did I offend you Detective Scott?” He seemed to be losing his patience now.
“You walk around this city like you own it. You even act like you can run the police department.” I snapped at him as I looked at Detective Masterson, who seemed to be in Gray’s pocket.
“I don’t try to run the police department. I do, however, try to help people. And in case you didn’t notice, Detective, I do own about sixty percent of this city.” Was he rubbing that in my face.
“See, that’s the attitude I am talking about.”
“Enough! Ella is the one who matters right now, so stop your damn pissing contest.” A man standing at Gray’s side snapped at the two of us. He was right though, Ella needed help right now.
After his outburst, I watched as the man knelt next to Ella, checking on her.
“Are you alright?” His voice was soothing as he reached toward her.
“I will be.” Ella told him.
“An ambulance is on its way.” I told them, the anger gone from my voice.
“We can get her there sooner.” Another man offered.
“No, she needs an ambulance.”
“I will be alright, Detective Scott.” Ella smiled at me and I swear I saw my instant love for her already being reciprocated.
“No, Ella, you need to be taken care of.” I pleaded with her.
