Chapter 197 - Brutal Shooting
Very early in the morning, Ethan was getting ready to go to work. He was neatly dressed in a black tuxedo suit combined with the maroon tie that Luna wore. The man already looked dashing with a pompadé hairstyle and let his beard grow thin, vaguely covering his jaw.
"Are you coming home tonight?" asked Luna, considering that Ethan had said last night that he would be busy recapitulating the damaged and lost data with his employees.
"I have no idea." Ethan focused on putting on his shoes. "If you can go home early, go home because I don\'t know for sure what time I can go home. I feel sorry for the Twins if they are only taken care of by the babysitter or Ira," he continued with the hope that Luna would obey him.
"I\'ll try," replied Luna with a warm smile.
Ethan and Luna walked out of the room, into the dining room past baby Keenan and Keyra who were playing with Anna and Gita.
When they saw their mother pass by, baby Keenan and Keyra were whining to come along. Luna and Ethan immediately approached and carried them, taking them to the dining room.
"You want to come with breakfast, hmmm? Or do you want to come with daddy to work?" Luna asked baby Keyra who only responded by looking up at her. "You are so gorgeous...." Luna kissed baby Keyra while walking towards the dining room.
Arriving in the dining room, Luna gave baby Keyra to Ethan who was holding baby Keenan. Finally, the twins sat on the father\'s lap, while the mother took a portion of breakfast for the father.
"Shall I feed you?"
"Okay."
Finally, Ethan had his breakfast fed by Luna, occasionally he smiled amusedly when he glanced at baby Keenan and Keyra opened his mouth and looked at the food that Luna gave him.
"Hahaha ...they want to eat too." Ethan finally laughed out loud while glancing at the two babies.
"You can\'t eat this food yet," said Luna while looking at baby Keenan and Keyra who rolled their eyes while their hands seemed to want to reach for a spoon. occasionally the twins also sound like they are annoyed because they are not being fed.
"When can they eat?" asked Ethan.
"When they were six months old," Luna answered, then fed a spoonful of rice and a side dish of sauteed shrimp into Ethan\'s mouth.
"Hmm, about three more months," Ethan muttered while eating, then looked down at baby Keenan and Keyra. "You just drink milk and mother\'s milk, it tastes better than other foods," he said.
Luna just smiled at Ethan and his two adorable babies. Breakfast moments like this are memorable for her because she feels happy as a little family. \'It would be stupid if I gave up because of Edward. The three of them mean a lot to me,\' she thought as she continued to feed Ethan.
until the 30-minute breakfast that was interrupted by the twins was finally over. Ethan gave baby Keenan to be carried by Anna, while Luna gave baby Keyra to be carried by Gita. After that, they walked out of the house to the car.
"I\'m leaving now," said Ethan.
"Be careful, don\'t go anywhere without bringing a bodyguard," Luna exclaimed as she rubbed the front of Ethan\'s tuxedo.
"That\'s for sure," said Ethan with a reassuring smile, his hand tucking a tuft of Luna\'s hair behind her ear. "You also don\'t go without bringing a bodyguard, I promise I\'ll go home sooner, you also have to go home when you\'re done shooting," he continued.
"Yeah, you calm down," replied Luna.
Ethan lowered his head to kiss Luna\'s forehead, then immediately got into the car where Richard was already there who would always look after him. Luna waved as Ethan\'s car moved further and further out of sight until it was out of sight because it was already out the gate.

At 09:30 a.m, Ethan was in his study with Andrew and Nathalie. The three of them are focusing on checking the data recapitulation made by employees, they are working hard before any other company will betray to take advantage of the chaotic condition.
"Nat, get some coffee," Andrew called.
"Me too," said Ethan as he focused on the file.
Nathalie sighed, then got up from the chair and called the OB.
"Make two coffees and one mango juice, take them to Mr. Ethan\'s room," she shouted and then returned to focus on work.
Ethan got up from his chair4 to go to Andrew who was sitting on the sofa with Nathalie. suddenly heard the sound of broken glass and Andrew\'s screams which made him immediately look down.
Pracckkk!!
"Ethan, watch out!!"
Ethan immediately dropped to the floor, while Andrew ducked down along with Nathalie on the sofa.
"Argghhh." Andrew groaned in pain as he realized his arm had been hit by a bullet.
prackkk....
There was another sound of broken glass being pierced by a bullet that came from nowhere.
"Stay down!!" Ethan exclaimed as he looked up at Nathalie and Andrew, then walked at a brisk pace, looking down slightly to avoid the bullets that kept coming, he approached Andrew who was already injured.
"You keep your head down until it\'s safe!!" Ethan exclaimed as he looked at Nathalie who was now crouched on the floor near the sofa.
"Andrew, hold on."
Ethan guided Andrew while dodging the incoming bullets until he arrived outside the room.
from the outside, there were already many employees who started to panic because the emergency alarm sounded because the glass of the building had been shattered by the bullet\'s breakthrough.
"Nathalie\'s still inside." Ethan looked at Richard who had just arrived with the other bodyguards.
they immediately went into Ethan\'s study to save Nathalie, while the other bodyguards began to search where the bullet was coming from because there were no gunshots.
Ethan ushered Andrew into the elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor.
"Argghhh...." Andrew was in more pain because blood continued to pour out of his arm which was perforated by the impact of the bullet that pierced through his clothes.
"Hold on, the ambulance will be here soon to help you," Ethan shouted with a panicked look.
until a few moments, the elevator opened,
Ethan led Andrew who was starting to limp out of the elevator and walked towards the exit of the building. Several male employees helped him, while the female employees were secured by security guards so as not to become victims.
After 10 minutes, the ambulance came. they immediately took Andrew to the hospital while doing first aid.
Ethan looked at Nathalie who had come out safely. "Nat, you\'re with Andrew," Ethan called.
Nathalie nodded in agreement, then followed the ambulance carrying Andrew while Ethan dealt with the chaos with the bodyguards and security guards. He also contacted the police and Luna.
"Hello, honey, please don\'t go anywhere, things are very unsafe. there was a brutal shooting in my room and Andrew was hit by that shot," said Ethan while waiting for his bodyguards who were looking for the shooter.
"What? The shooting, did you get hit too?" asked Luna over the phone, sounding panicked.
"No, Andrew hurried to tell me when a bullet went through the glass in my building, it\'s a mess right now. Please don\'t go anywhere, I\'m afraid the shooter is also working around the house." Ethan explained as he approached Richard who was discussing with other bodyguards. "I\'ll call you later," he continued, then immediately hung up.

At home, Luna, who was neat and ready to go to the photoshoot, walked unsteadily into her twin baby room. \'Just because of love, just because of me, everything falls apart. Now, Andrew, all employees are panicking and could be victims. Who\'s next? did I have to separate so Edward would stop being so brutal? Maybe if I leave Ethan, things will be at peace."
Luna looked sadly at the two babies with teary eyes. She was tired of all the trouble that happened to her just because Edward was still chasing her.
