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
“Under arrest?” Sherry was stumped but managed to maintain calmness on her face. “What for?”The police officer in charge stepped out with a steel handcuff dangling from his waist. It was clear as day as to what he was trying to do.“You were her attending doctor, this reason alone is enough for us to suspect your involvement,” the police officer said. “There are many situations that point towards your involvement in this.”Sherry: “...”Seeing that Sherry did not refute his statement, a smile appeared on his face.“You have the right to remain silent,” he sneered.Levian was talking with the hospital director when he heard the commotion coming from the corridor. When he saw the police officer approaching Sherry, he immediately creased his eyebrows in an unpleasant frown. The director he was talking to followed his line of sight.“Doctor Sherry from the department of Neurology?” The old director pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose. He somewhat knew that the kidnapped vic
The lawyer Levian had arranged for had arrived at the police station earlier and was waiting for Levian to arrive.“Hello, sir, mam,” the lawyer, Mr. Jeckil greeted Levian and Sherry as soon as they entered the police station. He glanced at Sherry, the plain but calm lady standing next to Levian. He had looked at the matter he was given on his way to the police station. Although he was hired by Levian, his client today was not him but the young lady.He produced his business card and handed it to Sherry. Sherry took the card but she was shocked and speechless when she saw who the man was.She knew Levian would help her find a competent lawyer but this lawyer was simply….he was simply a god amongst the lawyer in his field.Mr. Jeckil was an intelligent lawyer who had not once lost any case that was given to him. He was witty and careful, his words were irrefutable in the crowd. In simple words….he was the best lawyer anyone could ask for.However, he was expensive. Although Sherry her
Realizing that they could not pester Sherry anymore, they allowed her to leave the police station right after the interrogation.Sherry thanked Mr. Jeckil and got ready to leave the interrogation room. As she stepped out of the room, she noticed a figure sitting inside the office. He had rested his face lazily on his chin and seemed to be thinking about something. His usually calm face creased in deep frowns once in a while.What he was thinking seemed to be bearing a lot of weight in his mind.“Mr. Smith, you are still here,” Sherry was stunned and her voice was a mix of surprise as well as hidden relief. She hurried towards him, her heart filled with warmth. “You could have gone before.”Hearing the gentle tone, Levian raised his head, and his intense gaze collided with her bright ones.Sherry’s heart skipped a beat and was the first one to remove her gaze. She looked at Ron who was standing next to Levian and said,“You could have gone before.”“Let’s go home,” Levian said with a s
