The curtains in the room were still closed. However, the sunlight managed to peer inside the room through the small gaps in between the curtains fold. It indicated the start of a new sunny day-probably the one filled with joy and bliss.However, the temperature inside the room was chilling- as if it could snow at any moment. On one side of the room, Sherry stood against the wall. With her arms crossed and her face filled with confusion, she stared at the man who was ‘shamelessly’ making himself comfortable on her fluffy couch.“What are you glaring at?” Levian snorted as he pressed a pack of ice on his forehead.“I-” Sherry wanted to say something but she could not make out what she wanted to say. She was at a loss of words. Considering what she had just gone through, it was no surprise.Sherry had wanted to rest for a bit on the couch, however, without her knowledge she had fallen asleep on the couch the whole night. When the door bell of her apartment rang, she was still under the i
Once inside the bedroom, Sherry quickly packed up her bag. She did not have that many clothes that she needed to pack. After making sure she had kept everything she needed inside her bag, she grabbed a towel and ran inside the washroom.Meanwhile, Levian who was standing outside looked at the closed door of the bedroom. He only moved from his place when he heard the sound of the washroom door locking.“I will be waiting for you my wifey~” Levian flirted in a sweet and calm tone, however, the relaxed expression on his face suddenly tensed.The change was so sudden that one could easily pinpoint the number of muscles that he just contracted on his face if they tried. A deep crease formed in between his brows as he turned away from the door. With a complicated expression on his face, he exited the room in larger strides. The phone in his pocket rang as soon as he was out of the door.Levian pulled out his phone and looked at the caller id. “What a timing…” his voice trailed off as he s
“I guess you can not have everything in one single person,” Sherry sighed as she wiped her hair with the towel. “No wonder people say no one is perfect.”Sherry opened her mouth to continue her monologue but her eyes had somehow gained a new alertness to it.Something was wrong inside her home!Her ears twitched slightly as she focused her attention on the chillingly stagnant silence inside her house.She was not a trained professional or anything of that sort, but as a doctor, she had trained herself to notice even the slightest change in her surrounding. She did not want to risk the life of any patient in any of her surgery, hence, she could pick up the fluctuations in her patient’s vitals even before anyone could notice it. It had influenced her daily life too.Although it was not loud enough, Sherry could pick up the sound of suppressed footsteps. ‘Didn’t that man say he was going to wait for me in the parking lot?’Sherry’s eyes had a bright and sharp glow to them. It was as if
Although Levian spent most of his time indoors working, he had an athletic physique. He reached Sherry’s floor in no time from the parking lot.The door that he had locked behind him was ajar. Levian felt his heart reach his throat while his steps continued to hasten. Just as he had reached the door, he heard the painful howl of a man…the origin of the sound- it came from inside Sherry’s room! “Sherry!” Her name involuntarily left his mouth. Every muscle in his body was tensed- anxiety piling inside him like snowfall on the mid-december night. Please be alright. That was all he had in his mind as he dashed towards the open door, however, the sight that met him left him bewildered. What met his eyes was the sweet-looking girl slumped next to a bulky figure... the black outfit was the same one that he had seen on the man who bumped into him in the elevator. ‘Is she hurt?’ A sense of loss clouded his heart.Levian felt an uncontrollable rage surging inside his heart. The rage, ho
“We are here,” Levian undid his seatbelt and said. Sherry looked away from the man, her face still had the look of astonishment at the discovery she had.After a while, she too undid her seatbelt.As soon as she pulled down her window, the salty smell of the sea hit her. She also heard the sounds of waves clashing against each other.“It's the sea…” Sherry mumbled as she looked out of her window. The gentle wind caressed her face, bringing with it the smell of sand and water.Levian and Sherry both came out of the car.No sooner were they out of the car, than she heard the rushing sounds of footsteps. Within a few minutes, they were surrounded by big men in black costumes and sunglasses. Every one of them had a bloodish red tattoo on their neck which gave off a murderous aura.Sherry shivered as she looked at the people who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.'Gangsters!'The term struck her as she glanced at the men armed with guns and weapons.Levian however, remained calm as he lo
Zacob Malfoy threw the cigar on the ground and stepped on it with his feet, instantly exhausting the fire. His eyes were still on Sherry, he took giant but unhurried steps toward them.Levian watched the man approaching expressionlessly but Sherry, who was the nearest to him could feel the hostility he was emitting toward this man.‘Enemies?’ Sherry understood the basic situation. Malfoy Zacob stopped a few meters away from them and curiously glanced at Sherry. He had seen her picture and also dug almost all of her information, but seeing her right in front of him was something else altogether. Levian noticed his eyes that were stuck on Sherry. He felt displeased. The atmosphere around him got chillier.“I see you have been waiting for us,” Levian spoke coldly as he looked expressionlessly at Malfoy. “Mr. Zacob.” He added.“I was indeed waiting,” Malfoy glared at Levian and curled his lips up in a smirk. “I could not wait to meet this lady.” His eyes turned to look at Sherry- his ga
“Leave us alone,” Roy spoke. He no longer had the aura from earlier. It was replaced by a cold and chilling one, his eyes had turned dark- his thoughts unknown.Once alone, Roy stared at the silhouette of the man and sneered. He walked towards the man, one step at a time.“So we meet again.” His cold voice echoed dangerously in the cold interrogation room.Hearing his voice, the man who was chained to the wall of the dungeon shivered. By this time, he had regained most of his senses and could be considered back to normal.However, hearing the voice that just spoke now, he was no longer passive. His body had regained full consciousness.Unconsciously, he shrunk back where he was, trying to hide himself. Roy noticed this and could not help but sneer as he looked at the man informed of him. Looks like the other guy still knew what fear was. He said nothing as he dragged a metal chair and sat on it. The screeching sound made by the metal feet of the chair with the cold floor of the base
Sherry pursed her lips but did not say anything when she heard his question. It was not directed to her. However, she did not care for the answer. Whether Levian was willing or not, in six months, she will go to Udyous no matter what.Whether he came with her or not, it did not matter to her. She was already taking a lot from he, and she was thankful.“Let’s go.” Sherry pulled the man, not wanting him to be put on the spot by that question.“It is worth the trouble,” Levian said as his sight fell on the slender hand that was holding his arm. A smile formed on his handsome face.Sherry involuntarily parted her lips and let out a sigh of relief and a gush of warm happiness filled her heart.“Let’s go,” she repeated and pulled him again, this time she was filled with warmth and gratitude.Levian and Zacob stared at each other for a while before letting himself be pulled by Sherry.“Thank you,” Sherry mumbled and looked into his eyes. She promised to remember the kindness he showed her
