Sherry felt a sense of warmth and gratitude upon hearing the kind words from her grandfather-in-law. However, he took advantage of the moment and slipped in a sly request. "But if I am lucky enough, I want to see my great-grandchild too," he said with a heavy sigh of dejection. "All of my friends are already taking their great-grandchildren to kindergarten and here I am..."Sherry knew that having a child was a risky proposition given her circumstances, but she didn't want to dishearten the old man. "We will discuss it," she said, trying to end the topic on a positive note."Grandpa, I have a question," Sherry said, changing the subject."Ask away," her father-in-law replied with a smile, happy to engage in conversation with his daughter-in-law.“I met elder sister the other day,” Sherry had wanted to ask about Sarah. Although her impression of her was not good, knowing how good of a people Levain and his grandfather were, she felt there was a story behind Sarah too. “Ahh, Sarah,” the
Levian strode down the busy hallway of the hospital, his mind preoccupied with memories of the past. He had walked this same path many times before, but today it felt different. The weight of his thoughts seemed to slow his steps as if he was walking through molasses.Walking the familiar corridor, he paused at Sherry’s office, his eyes locking onto the shiny name tag still affixed to the door. The sight of it made his heart sink. Sherry was one of the most hardworking people he knew, and yet she was targeted and harmed all the time. Just yesterday, there was a malevolent assault on Sherry. It was a miracle that she was still alive, but the hospital seemed to be running as if nothing had happened. "How can they be so insensitive?" he muttered to himself.Without thinking, Levian reached out and plucked the name tag from its perch. “This place doesn't deserve Sherry,” he muttered under his breath, his frustration and anger building inside him. With her qualification and expertise, she
As Stephen plummeted toward the ground, a menacing smile was etched on his lips. Despite falling from that height, it seemed as though he was not worried about the incoming death. “Such beautiful fools they are,” he chuckled as he closed his eyes.“Stephen!” Levian who was startled by Stephen's unexpected maneuver, rushed to the edge of the shattered window. He watched in disbelief as the man extended his arms, spreading them wide. “Checkmate!” Stephen grinned as a parachute opened when he pulled the ripcord from it. Although it did not provide him with a completely safe landing, it was more than enough for him to break his fall so that he could land without his skulls scattering on the ground. ‘He was one step ahead of me!’ Levian watched as Stephen staggered to get on his feet. The buildings they were in were majorly used as storage, hence, the compound of this building was isolated for safety reasons. This worked in favor of Stephen to not attract the attention of any other peop
Simon introduced the lady to Sherry, saying, "This is Mrs. Jasmine Khas. She's Mr. Victor's wife." As part of his responsibility to ensure her safe arrival from the airport, Simon had been waiting for her at the private terminal the entire morning. Although he had not joined Levian and the rest, he had a brief idea about the operation they were running. Sherry understood where the gratitude was coming from. Smiling, she supported the lady on her feet and said, “I did only the surgery, Mr. Victor is strong and has a strong will.” She looked at the sleeping man from the glass window on the door and said with a tone of confirmation, “He will surely get through this.” “Y-Yes, he will,” the lady sniffled as she tried to regain her composure and straightened herself. She entered the ward while Sherry had a small conversation with Simon. “I can not contact Levian…” Sherry felt restless. Simon told her briefly about the meeting, but he too was out of the loop about everything as he was n
At the crack of dawn, before the sun had even risen, an individual stood atop a building, their body partially concealed by bandages and adhesive plasters. Stephen was wide awake, gazing at the horizon where the sun's golden streaks gradually appeared. Breathing in the morning air, his frayed nerves slightly relaxed. Looking at the boundary separating the forest and the city, he realized he had already spent four years there. ‘How fast time has passed,’ Stephen chuckled in amusement. For four years, he had been living in the city under the identity of the Capital Hospital’s director. At 48 years old, he was still going undercover for the sake of the revolutionary army back in Udyous. However, with how things were progressing, he had to return to the headquarters before taking any action. A figure walked up to the roof and stood some steps away from him. The platoon leader called out to him, interrupting his thoughts and bringing him back to reality. "Chief, we're all ready," the
Sherry's eyelids fluttered closed, savoring the embrace that was both comforting and searing. It felt as though her heart had melted into a warm puddle in his arms-washing away every doubt, fear, and restlessness in her heart.‘Idiot!’ Sherry wanted to scold him gently, wondering why he'd gone to such lengths for someone as insignificant as her. While her own people constantly betrayed her, this human-sized teddy bear equivalent of a guy was taking in every pain in her stead, as if he had developed a hobby for it.“Idiot!” her voice was low, almost inaudible when she scolded him. “Tell me more,” Levian heaved a sigh of relief, knowing the fact he was holding her in his arms, her body pressed against his and the little lady was scolding him like a mother scolding her child. “What kind of idiot I am hmm?” He asked as he hugged her tighter, as if this closeness was still not enough.“The biggest one I have ever seen!” Sherry replied as she snuggled deeper into the embrace. She was addi
“But-” Levian’s grandfather was worried about her leaving the hospital premises even if she was going to be accompanied by Roy. Who knew what new danger would be waiting outside for her? “Grandpa,” Sherry gently squeezed his hand in reassurance and nodded, “I have to go…I will be careful.” This was something she had planned the moment Levian had gone into surgery. Preparations had been made and now that she knew Levian was safe and recovering, she could finally execute it. “Take more people with you then,” Levian’s grandfather pointed at a few of the trustworthy agents, and motioned them to come forward. “I will be at ease if they are with you.” Sherry sighed helplessly, watching in disbelief how her solo outing suddenly ballooned to nearly 10 people. She didn't want to attract any unnecessary attention, especially not with a convoy of black cars filled with men in black suits and guns. However, she could not reject the kind gestures of the old man either. ‘As long as I can stick
Sherry clasped her hand on her mouth trying to muffle the whimpers that was about to leak out of her mouth. Tears of betrayal and heartbreak trailed down from her beautiful hazel eyes making her vision blurry.Hidden inside the closet she tried to close off her mouth, eyes and ears hoping she won’t see anything nor hear anything but she had only two hands and both of them were blocking her mouth.She had been staying like this for 10 minutes or so but she did not know because each second felt like an eternity for her. She had lost count of time as she tried not to hear or see anything.“~~Ahhh~~~~no more~~I mean more..” The muddled sound of a woman echoed in the room followed by heavy breathe and grunts of a man.“Ouch honey…..Not that deep..” Bella spoke in her slurry voice as she tightly hugged the sturdy and sweating body of a man who was pounding her like a beast in heat.He slid in and out of her hitting her best spo
