 Chapter 1 - Soon-to-be Husband Is Cheating

    (Warning: NSFW Content)

    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 spot while the soft flesh of the inner wall of her cave clenched him tight.

    "Are you sure you want me to stop?" The man asked in a deep husky voice but he did not stop his plunders, contradicting himself.

    He did not want to stop..No¡­screw that.

    He could not stop at all.

    Sherry widened her eyes in horror when she heard the teasing of the man.

    ¡°It¡¯s bad for the baby¡­¡± She tried calming him down as she touched her big belly while another hand dug into his flesh as if trying to dig a hole with her nail on his shoulder.

    Hearing the word baby, the man finally calmed down only a little.

    Bella was pregnant but he could not calm himself.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let anything happen to our baby.¡± He planted a kiss on her forehead and pulled himself out of her with a pop sound that echoed within the dark room.

    He looked at the panting girl beneath him with her bloated stomach, her expression all flushed and teary since she had just orgasm.

    He stood up from the bed and looked wearily at his still raging cock. He had still not come but he had to anyway.

    He went up to her mouth and plunged himself into her mouth which was quickly covered in her saliva and drool. He could not fuck her pussy so what? He could still use her mouth.

    Bella too did not mind as she took him in her mouth perfectly happy.

    Erotic sound continued emitting in the room until Sherry could take it no more.

    ¡®Why? Why Chris?¡¯ She had questions. She wanted to go out of the closet and separate the two bodies that were entangled with each other.

    ¡®Bella how could you¡­You are my best friend..¡¯ Sherry felt her happy world crumbling down as she witnessed her soon to be husband and her best friend from her high school making love with each other.

    ¡°What about the father of your child? You are cheating on him as well..¡± Sherry was heartbroken. Her heart ached for both herself and the lover of her best friend.

    She did not want to believe it and wanted to think it was just a nightmare, a bad dream from which she could not wake up.

    Right. It¡¯s just a dream. She tried consoling herself although she knew it was foolish of her to try think that way. It hurt too much to be just a dream. She clutched her chest as she drank her salty tears that flowed from her eyes non stop.

    After what it seemed like a whole one hour, both of them finished off what ever they were doing, both of them completely exhausted.

    Sherry had finally regained her composure and a new determination had taken her heart.

    She took out her phone and sent a message to Chris also her soon to be husband who was cheating on her with her best friend right in front of her.

    Ding!!

    The phone on the bedside produced a notification. Chris who was lying on his back got up and stretched out his hand to pick up the phone.

    Seeing the name of the caller ID he scrunched his nose in disgust. Sherry who noticed this felt a pang in her heart. So she huddled herself even closer and clutched the phone to her chest.

    ¡°What is it babe?¡± Bella sat up on the bed with a low grunt while trying to balance her bloated body. She hugged him from behind and took a peek at the phone.

    ¡°Is it that bitch?¡± She saw the name. Chris nodded his head agreeing with her.

    ¡°What did she say?¡±

    Chris looked at the message.

    [From: Sherry Lona]

    Sherry: Where are you? Are you busy?

    Chris texted her back saying he was busy with the work in office.

    Sherry looked at the message with a bitter smile on her face. He said he was busy with work in the office but in truth he was busy fucking her best friend.

    Gulping down her tear, she texted back.

    Sherry: I don¡¯t like the dress we picked last time. Let¡¯s go out again today. I am going to pick you up in an hour.

    Chris looked at the message with a darkened face and dull expression. It was not good. He could not let her find out he was cheating on her.

    Standing up abruptly he went to fetch his white shirt. Bella looked at him pouting as his masculine body was covered by fabrics of the shirt feeling a little sad.

    ¡°Are you going to meet her?¡± She made a sad and pitiful sound.

    ¡°I have to¡­She is coming to pick me up.¡± He dressed up and answered her with anger evident in his tone. He surely was not pleased with her message.

    ¡°Okay..¡± Bella knew their relation was a secret so she did not want to push her luck further.

    ¡°Take care babe¡­.¡± The man looked with affection at the girl and kissed her lips before finally parting.

    He bent down and kissed her stomach as well.

    ¡°Take care of our baby as well.¡± He patted it before he darted out the door in a long stride.

    ¡°Take care honey.¡± Bella replied like a devoted wife waving her hand behind him. Since they just did a vigorous exercise, she was a little tired and even without cleaning anything she fell down asleep on the bed covered with cums and mucus and semen.

    She was too worked up and exhausted to feel repulsed by it.

    While she was sleeping soundly feeling content, Sherry had her eyes widened in shock and horror, tears spilling uncontrollably from her eyes.

    Chris¡¯s last statement made Sherry¡¯s world go crumbling down on the ground.

    ¡®O-O-Our baby??¡¯ She stuttered as she tried to keep her calm but her whole body was trembling like as if she had been kept in a cold jar naked. A coldness unknown to her in her whole life crept up in her heart.

    Right now she could not think properly. All her thoughts were in a mess and she was losing all of her determination from before.

    She had come here today to talk with her best friend today regarding an important matter.. But she did not know if she could do that any more considering what she had just seen now.

 Chapter 2 - Reborn Just To See This?

    [A few moments ago]

    [Location: Bella''s apartment]

    ¡°Bella¡­where are you?¡± Sherry went inside the room without knocking. They were best friend after all and knew about each other¡¯s pass code to their apartments.

    Getting no response she decided to go inside her bedroom. Today Sherry had to do a serious talk with her.

    But there was no sign of anything and anyone. ¡®Is she out?¡¯ She thought as she looked around the room.

    Some sounds came from the washroom. Thinking she was probably bathing she decided to go and call her from there.

    But as she was about to knock the door, the door was pulled open from inside and along with Bella¡¯s voice she could hear a man¡¯s voice.

    ¡®Shit¡­.They were making out.¡¯ Sherry felt an inexplicable embarrassment when she realized she might be disturbing their privacy.

    Finding no other solution she dived into a closet and waited for them to pass from the bathroom. No matter how angry she was with Bella she still knew she had to respect her and the man who she assumed to be her boyfriend¡¯s private life.

    ¡®Damn¡­why here?¡¯ She once again scolded herself for being a klutz and dummy and hiding in the closet from here she could see everything.

    She was about to close her eyes when from the corner of her eyes she saw a familiar back. A doubt rose in her heart but waved it off.

    ¡°No way¡­that can¡¯t be..stupid.¡± She scolded herself but the voice she heard confirmed her suspicion.

    ¡°Babe..Lie down.¡± A husky and manly voice orderd the woman in his arms.

    That voice was something she had always listened to her entire life, the moment she fell in love with that man, her lover and Fianc¨¦.

    .

    .

    [Two hour ago]

    [Location: Sherry''s house]

    ¡°What¡­.what in the holy world happened just now?¡± Sherry got up from her bed sweating. She was clutching her quilt and her body was shaking.

    Was it a dream? She questioned herself. It was not. Sherry was sure of it. She looked at the calendar on the table beside her bed.

    In big black letters the day and date was written.

    ¡°13th February 2021¡±

    It was the day before her marriage on 14th February. But she was in her wedding dress just a moment ago.

    ¡°But¡­I was about to marry Chris¡­¡± She clutched her head as she remembered about the incident before her marriage.

    She was wearing make ups and her best friend and also the bridesmaid for her marriage was helping her up.

    ¡°Bella..when is the your date for delivery?¡± Applying a foundation she asked Bella who was doing her hair.

    ¡°It¡¯s tomorrow or today..¡± She replied with a smile caressing her belly.

    Pouting Sherry looked at her face. ¡°Come on tell me who is your lover¡­You are even pregnant with his child¡­¡± But Bella just gave a slight chuckle.

    ¡°First let¡¯s get you married and then I will tell.¡± Bella replied combing her hair.

    ¡®If you are alive to get married that is.¡¯ Bella who was smiling had a menacing look on her face for a brief second.

    Her phone lit up with a notification. She looked at the unknown ID.

    ¡°Do it..everything is ready.¡±

    ¡°Sherry, my stomach hurts. Can you go and bring me my drink?¡± Acting as if in pain she pleaded with Sherry.

    Horrified that something might happen, Sherry went to the kitchen to make an energy drink for her although she was supposed to be getting ready for her wedding.

    She returned back after around 5 minutes in a hurry.

    ¡°Here¡­¡± She handed the drink and went to massage her belly carefully.

    ¡°Is it better now?¡± She asked worried.

    ¡°Hmm¡­why are you worrying about me? Stupid idiot!¡± She gave her a flicker on her head. Bell held out a glass of water.

    ¡°Here¡­hydrate yourself. You need to keep that energy going hmm??¡± A smile flashed across her smile but Sherry was an idiot and a dumb girl who could not see the malice hidden behind her kind action.

    "Thank you Bella...you are the best." Sherry took hold of the glass.

    Without thinking anything she chugged down the glass of water.

    As soon as she had finished it she felt a little dizzy and before she knew it the world turned around by 360 degree, her stomach in agony.

    What was happening she did not know but aura of death was already revolving around her.

    ¡°Bella¡­it hurts¡­it r-really hu-urts¡­¡± Choking on the blood in her mouth she struggled to speak. She coughed out a mouthful of blood. She could not understand why and how she was feeling this burning pain in her body.

    ¡°Bella¡­¡± She looked up at the girl who was looking at her like as if she was a bug with a disgusted expression.

    Her expression was wrong. She was not worried or upset but Sherry could see the smug feeling of victory in her eyes.

    ¡°It¡¯s time you leave us all Sherry¡­You have already spent much time in bliss and happiness.¡± Bella crouched down on the floor patting her head.

    ¡°Good bye Sherry.¡±

    ¡°W-What¡­.¡± Before she could completely grasp what was happening she felt her breathe getting shorter.

    Her eyes darkened and with regret and queries in her heart Sherry died on the day of her wedding.

    Why did she do that? That was the only question in her heart. She wanted to know the answer and as long as she was given a reasonable answer she would gladly accept to die.

    No, I can¡¯t die this way.. Sherry¡¯s final wish was this before she went on her journey to the afterlife.

    But as if hearing her wish she was given a second chance at life and now she was reborn a day before her marriage.

    "This second chance....It must be given to me to make things right." Sherry thanked the god or who ever out there for hearing her last dying wish and prayers.

    ¡°I have to fix every thing and get the answer.¡± Sherry freshened up and went to her friend¡¯s house in a hurry without informing her beforehand.

    "Bella....I need answers." Sherry drove the car to an apartment in a busy and bustling part of the city.

    .

    .

    And now she was inside the closet of the house trembling and tears flowing from her eyes when the bitter truth of her lover and her best friend cheating together on her came crashing down on her.

    "God....Was I reborn just to see this?" Remorse, pain and hurt filled her heart.

 Chapter 3 - Touching His Sturdy Chest

    POV Sherry

    Coming out of the closet, Sherry walked silently like an assassin towards the king sized bed and looked at the sleeping face of her best friend and her bloated stomach, her red eyes moving back and forth.

    ¡°Why are you doing this to me?¡± Sherry felt her heart breaking into pieces as she asked the sleeping girl question in a whispering tone.

    She hated the girl but more than that she loved her to death since they had been friends for a long time. Bella loved her as if she was her own sister.

    Suddenly, her hand phone vibrated in her hand waking her up from her chain of thoughts. A new notification had appeared.

    Sherry swiped open her lock and looked at the message.

    Chris: When are you coming? I am done with my work. :Hearshapeemoji:

    Looking at the message a sense of loss enveloped her whole body. Her felt a bitter but sweet still. After all he was the man she had loved her whole life.

    ¡°I will pretend I did not see anything today.¡± Sherry sternly looked at the sleeping face which was glowing in the evening light.

    ¡°I will not question anything about why you poisoned me in last life.¡± Sherry glanced at her. "But tomorrow, I will be sure to unmask your face if you pull the same stunt." Taking a deep breathe Sherry was determined in her heart.

    ¡°But I am taking him back.¡± Sherry tightened her finger in a fist and taking a long breathe she unclenched them slowly.

    Locking the door behind her Sherry directly went to the parking lot to get her car. She did not care if the man cheated on her behind her back. All that mattered to her was he was stilling willing to marry her.

    Although she tried to be strong, fresh tear piled up in her eyes and fell down continuously. With the back of her hand she wiped her eyes but the tear did not stop blurring her eyes.

    She passed a few people who were in the parking lot who upon her arrival looked at her strangely since she was a crying mess.

    But she did not care and she did not see their expression. She had her own broken heart to take care of.

    ¡®Am I not good enough?¡¯ She wondered but that just brought out another batch of tear, blurring her vision.

    So she did not see the uneven floor when walking. Unknowingly her heel got stuck there.

    ¡°Ouch¡­¡± Sherry tripped on her high heel and lost the balance of her body. She looked in horror at the concrete basement that she was about to fall head first.

    If her head hit the floor, as her experience as a doctor she knew she would fracture her skull resulting in death or either comatose state.

    And she wanted neither as they both equaled to death.

    ¡®Am I going to die again?¡¯ The thought crept up on her mind.

    No I can¡¯t die. A burning determination lighted up in her pure blue eyes.

    She made the decision in flash.

    ¡®Sorry but I am borrowing you for a second.¡¯ With a quick movement she grabbed the arm of the man who was nearest to her.

    The man who got grabbed: ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡±

    Sherry: (*-*¡¯)

    ¡°Bammmm!!!¡±

    A loud crashing sound echoed through out the parking lot as two bodies fell on top of each other with the sturdy body of a man cushioning the fall of a petite woman who was closing her eyes, trembling slightly, her thick and long eye lashes flickering once in a while making the heart of the man itch at it¡¯s site.

    ¡®I am safe.¡¯ A wave of relief flashed across her face when she realized she did not hit the ground but¡­

    She moved her hand on the place she was placing her palm. Sturdy, strong and well maintained chest muscles.

    She was a doctor after all. Human anatomy was not a new thing for her but the body she was touching¡­

    Holy God¡­

    It was the first time she was touching such an amazing physique. She was interested in it¡­.ahemm as a doctor. No other thoughts. Her hands unconsciously started to rummage through his chest like a pervert.

    ¡°Ahemmm..¡± The man beneath her coughed out loud to clear his throat and mainly to get the paw of the pervert woman who was touching and feeling him.

    Brought back to reality, Sherry realized her action were like that of a pervert molesting a harmless citizen in the middle of daylight.

    One eye at a time, Sherry forced open her eyes slowly.

    ¡°Goshh¡­..¡± She gasped as she looked at the stern face of the man who was looking at her with a wrinkled brow. But despite the confusion and a little bit of irritation on his face, his handsomeness did not decrease.

    In Fact his cold demeanor was more than enough to make him look like an aloof male God.

    First of all she pulled him down with her, fell on top of him, touched him like a pervert and now she was staring at him like he was some kind of showcase material.

    ¡°I am sorry.¡± Sherry abruptly stood up and ran towards her car and before the man could even react she was driving away from the parking lot in full speed.

    But she did not realize the meaningful gaze of the handsome stranger who looked at each of her action until she was completely out of sight.

    Back in the car, sherry was panicking.

    ¡°What the hell did I do?¡± Sherry felt remorseful.

    ¡°That man looked angry. He won¡¯t file a case against me saying I molested him in broad daylight right?¡± Sherry wanted to cut off her inquisitive hands and feed them to sharks.

    But she was a surgeon so that option was not feasible. Her hands were her tools for saving life of people.

    Sherry looked at her face in the mirror and saw her messed up makeup and mascara. She looked very ugly not that she was proud of it.

    ¡°Wow¡­I look like a tramp..¡± She admired her messed up ugly looking face.

    ¡°A face as ugly at this¡­he won¡¯t even bother remembering me.¡± Sherry was happy since that meant at least she won¡¯t be recognized by the man.

    ¡°Well¡­it was a nice change of pace.¡± Sherry was now more clear minded than before. The accident from before made her forget briefly about the pain in her heart and the cheating incident as well.

    Pain....

    It again reminded her of her cheating fianc¨¦.

    The face of the man who always said I love you to her overlapped with the face of the man who was just making love with her bestfriend.

    ¡°Chris¡­I am coming to you.¡± A low chuckle left her mouth but her sad eyes betrayed her.

    Sherry changed the direction of her car on the road and drove towards Chris¡¯s company in full speed..

    ¡°You better be prepared.¡±

 Chapter 4 - Buying Dress For Our Marriage

    ¡°Mam, who might you be looking for?¡± The receptionist in the company of Chris¡¯s company asked Sherry as soon as she stepped in side the lobby of the company.

    It was almost time for the work hours to be over so she was curious when a customer appeared at this time of day.,

    This was the second time she had visited Chris¡¯s company since both of them were really busy in their own profession and work,

    The first time she had visited him was when they were engaged a year ago. Her dream of marrying the man she had loved all along was more than enough to snatch her sleep form her.

    So that day she had given a surprise visit to Chris. She had hoped he will be as happy as she was when he sees her but¡­

    The reality was different. He looked at her with aghast expression and even his responses were unnatural and forced.

    He even shouted at her to not come visit in his office as he detested his workplace being used to flirt and share love like that.

    ¡°Heh¡­stupid me.¡± Sherry mocked herself for believing his words.

    Thinking about this was more than enough to bring a bitter taste in her mouth.

    ¡°Miss, your identification?¡± The lady at the reception once again politely asked the lady before her who seemed to be lost in her thoughts.

    ¡°Oh, right.¡± Sherry took of her sunglass in elegant manner which was neither flashy nor crude,¡¯

    ¡°I am the fianc¨¦e of your boss.¡± She gave a sweet smile. ¡°We are getting married tomorrow.¡±

    Sherry had redone her makeup and hair before coming inside the company. Although she would love to present herself in ugly form to humiliate Chris, she still had her dignity as a proud and independent woman.

    She seemed like a professional lady, a woman with vision so the receptionist did not doubt the credibility of her words but she still could not help but run her mouth.

    ¡°But miss, he has not said anything about marriage and such.¡± The receptionist was in charge of inquiries after all. If boss was going to get married than that meant it was a free day for the employees,

    But no such notice had been given to them till today.

    ¡°He must have forgotten.¡± Sherry gave out a forced smile hiding the darkened expression in her heart and face.

    ¡°He is a very hardworking person after all.¡± Sherry thought about how hard he was working in the bed trying to satisfy her best friend.

    ¡°You bet miss. You are lucky you got him.¡± the receptionist was super excited as she expressed her worship towards the boss of her company.

    ¡°Heh¡­.I know I am lucky. Very muck lucky.¡± Sherry agreed with her without any restriction.

    ¡®So he hadn¡¯t told anyone that he is getting married right?¡¯ Sherry thought as she looked at the receptionist who was calling the president office.

    ¡°Hello President.¡± The lady gave a slight bow as she smiled like a lark talking to him.

    ¡°A lady claiming to be your fianc¨¦e has just appeared in the lobby. She says she is here for you.¡± The lady in the reception counted informed the boss in precise and concise manner.

    After putting down the phone she looked at Sherry with a polit and a little jealousy filled eyes.

    ¡°He says you can directly go to his office.¡± She relayed the order of the boss.

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Sherry thanked her ignoring the look in her eyes and made her way to the president room for the second time in her life.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­..

    Chris looked at the table which was not messy enough since it had only been used for some minutes, He placed a cup of coffee, few files and papers and engrossed himself in the computer, glaring at the screen intensely.

    It seemed as if he was writing the formula of atom bomb; judging from the amount of wrinkles in his forehead as his eyes were squinted pretending to be busy, even though all he was doing was scrolling through the twitter and looking at the photos of some hot chic and babes.

    ¡°Knock¡­Knock¡±

    The door was knocked from outside the door.

    ¡°Come in.¡± He cleared his throat as he welcomed the person inside the office.

    Sherry, dressed in plain but smart clothes entered the room with her pencil heels clicking on the marble floor.

    ¡°You are really busy honey.¡± Sherry approached the man slowly and sat in front of him.

    ¡°Hey, darling~~¡± Chris was startled by her sudden intimacy in calling him so he also returned her the greeting using an intimate word but it came out rater oddly.

    ¡°Sorry I have been too busy with work.¡± He winked at her in a flirty manner and came out of the chair.

    He walked towards her and extended his hand to hug her, to take her in an embrace.

    If it had been Sherry a day ago, then she would have jumped on him right now but after what she had seen and witnessed she felt his hug to be chains of restraints that was made for only suffocating her.

    ¡°I wish you will make some time for me as well.¡± Sherry spoke in a whisper acting the part of poor maiden when he hugged her but felt her heart scrunch at his forced show of affection.

    Hugging was the only thing they had done as couple. She realized she even did not have a first kiss.

    All this time she thought they were waiting for marriage to have kisses and make love but she had finally realized it was her wishful thinking.

    How blind she was to not realize the real face of the scoundrel who had been cheating on her for so long.

    She could smell the premium jasmine perfume on him which was favorite of Bella. Tilting her head sideways she saw that there were hickeys on the inner collar of his neck.

    She was once again reminded of the passionate time they were having together, her heart burning with anger rather than jealousy.

    ¡°I have time for you now.¡±

    Chris gave a charming smile but that had suddenly lost its appeal to her. In place of that she was reminded of the well crafted face of the man she fell on top of at the parking lot today which looked godly even though all she saw was his sharp jawline and high nose bridge making him look like a model straight out of fashion magazine.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Chris pulled her out of her trance and gestured her to move with him.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you want a new dress?¡± He asked with a polite smiley face as if he was a marketing agent from a bride¡¯s gown shop.

    ¡°Yes, after all its our marriage tomorrow..¡± Sherry emphasized each words, her mouth and lips curving up in a hooked smirk.

 Chapter 5 - Levian Smith(1)

    POV Levian Smith

    The room was dark with only a faint light that entered through the gaps in the plain curtain of the room. With a glance one could easily say that it is one of the luxurious room in the whole place taking all the furnishing materials into considerations.

    In the middle of the room was a large king sized bed covered in white bed sheet but right about now it was messy and crumpled as if someone had wriggled all over it.

    On the top of the bed, two naked bodies, belonging to a man and woman lied down sleeping. With a slight rustle of the bed sheets and quilts, the man woke up with a splitting headache, his eye dark eye brows knitted in a tight and painful frown.

    His ears were still ringing making it hard for him to think about the current situation he was in.

    The last thing he knew was he was attending a late night business party which lasted till 1 am and he was heavily drunk since many came to offer him drinks to bootlick and hold his thigh.

    Apart from drinking and talking with the old and shrewd businessman in the party he had no idea about what else might have happened after that.

    Feeling the air against his skin he looked at his body that was totally out in the open air.

    And now that he was awake the first thing he found was himself in a luxurious hotel room and naked on some king sized bed.

    ¡°Rustle~~Rustle~~~¡±

    A rustling sound of clothes came from the bed beside him. All this time he had been thinking he was the only one in the whole room but now there was someone else!

    Forcing his mind to clear up he turned his gaze at the body lying right next to him.

    ¡°You awake babe~~¡± A slurry voice spoke right next to him. the person on the bed was already awake and was simply noticing his movements by sprawling on the bed, her hands lazily resting on her chins, her eyes running all over him.

    She was almost drooling looking at the well defined body of the man and his chocolate colored abs in the stomach which looked even enticing when the sun ray fell on it.

    Before her mind could wander somewhere else and her eyes below his lower abdomen, Levian¡¯s deep and husky voice thundered in the silent hotel room, his eyes looking at the woman with a deep contempt hidden in his eyes.

    ¡°Who are you?¡± He brought her back to reality with his questions.

    As long as he could trace back his memories to the last night, he did not remember seeing this woman anywhere let alone sleeping together.

    The woman on the bed had a very delicate feature on her face. Her long and thick eyelashes fluttered while she blinked her eyes at times and her small and thin lips were adding a beauty to her round face.

    But Levian who had seen hundreds of woman did not find anything special about her, rather he even felt repulsed at her since he hated being in close contact with other person.

    The woman on the bed woke up slowly, the quilt that was covering her body slid down her body revealing her curvy and enticing figures.

    She was not angry neither hurt that he did not remember her. Instead a playful smile flashed in her face. She curled up her lips in a seducing smile,

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you already forgot me?¡± The woman seductively arched her back as she placed her hands around his shoulder closing the distance between their body.

    ¡°We had such a nice night last time~~~¡± the woman pressed her bosom behind on his back with out any care.

    It was clear as day that she was trying to tempt him.

    But that touch was more than enough to trigger Levian.

    ¡°Get off me!¡± He threw away the hands that closed around him like a snake entrapping its prey.

    The woman had not expected this turn of events. She knew she was as seductive as a temptress with her angelic baby face and demonic curvy body.

    She could not believe she failed seducing the same man two times in a row; the night before and now as well she was cruelly left hanging by the man.

    ¡°But¡­.¡± The woman was not letting the man she had placed her eyes on letting go away easily until she could taste him.

    ¡°Get Out!!¡± Levian roared angrily at the woman who seemed to be set on angering him more.

    ¡°Do you want to go out yourself or should I call someone to drag you away?¡± Levian angrily shouted at her, his irritation level raising up with each passing second when he saw her reluctant to leave.

    And he certainly was not joking when he said he will call people. He was powerful enough to even call the mayor of the city right now.

    ¡°What do you choose?¡± he raised his eyes in a questioning arc.

    He did not know how they ended up together in same bed but he knew he had noting with her even if both of them were together in a same bed.

    So he had nothing to feel about wronging her.

    ¡°I will leave.¡± The woman stood up from the bed in hurried steps. She was after all there only for work.

    She did not have luxury to mess up things and end up as a loser in the end just for tasting one man.

    And she already got paid by some men who asked her to try and sleep with him. Even though she could not make him play with her she still did sleep in one bed after all.

    She could not anger him further.

    She was not stupid enough for that to happen.

    Grabbing all of her dresses from the floor, she hurriedly dressed herself up. Although she had her juicy and enticing butt turned towards him while she changed, Levian did not even show any reaction.

    That woman, whose name was Abby looked at the man as abdomen as a mythical god with sexy wheat colored body with a little suspicion.

    ¡°Hey, mister.¡± After dressing up she called him before she left the room. There was one thing she was curious about and she really needed answers.

    ¡°What is it?¡± He looked at the woman without any emotion in his face.

    ¡°Are you probably impotent?¡± She pointed at his crotch area which was still sleeping. That was her conclusion otherwise how could a man not show any reaction when he was in presence of a naked woman.

    But she quickly regretted her curiosity.

    ¡°Impotent?¡± Instead of being angry Levian only left out a light chuckle.

    ¡°There is nothing wrong with me.¡± He looked relaxed and lax, totally different from the man from before who had angry face.

    Abby just gulped down the drool that was about to escape from her mouth looking at him.

    ¡°You are just not seductive enough for me.¡±

 Chapter 6 - Levian Smith(2)

    "Y-You..." Abby, the woman who asked him the question was left speechless by what he said. After stuttering for a while in loss of words, she stormed off the room fuming in anger and humiliation. She wanted to say something more to him but what he said was not completely wrong.

    He was as refined as a diamond while she was a crude crystal that did not even hold a candle to him and his majestic presence.

    Levian looked with an expressionless and apathetic face at the young woman who walked out of the room with a flushed out and embarrassed face.

    Getting up from the bed, Levian stretched out his limbs and body which was stiff sleeping for a long time.

    Talking about time, since the room was dark he had no idea what time it was now.

    With a single swift movement of his hand, he opened the curtains, drawing the folds aside. The golden light of the evening sun fell right on his dark brown eyes, making him squint them a bit before they adjusted to the sudden brightness.

    ¡°Fuck!! It¡¯s already evening.¡±

    HE cursed when he realized he had been sleeping the whole day like a log beside some strangers. It was weird for someone like him who was a valiant germ phobic person.

    It was not possible but what if¡­.When his thoughts started to wander around, his phone rang breaking his thoughts and bringing him back to reality.

    Without looking at the caller ID he picked up the phone.

    ¡°It was you right?¡± Levian did not even give a chance for the person on the phone on the other side to speak.

    ¡°What do you mean by that it was me?¡± A man who was drinking in a pub at that time with a few hot ladies in his arm acted oblivious when he was accused of something.

    Levian frowned upon hearing his answer that made him even more irritated than before.

    ¡°Don¡¯t play dumb Jack.¡± Rubbing his temples he looked out of the window of the room he was in. He could see the busy street from there, as cars and buses ran on the roads one after the other like a continuous process.

    ¡°Hhahaha..Was I found out this soon?¡± Jack Tori let out an amused laughter. This young man was the only son of the one of the largest conglomerate in the country and a well known flirt and playboy who was also famous as the ¨Cone night stand man in all of famous night clubs and bars.

    ¡°It was obvious Jack.¡± Levian let out a helpless sigh since he could finally remember the last thing before he blacked out was Jack offering him a glass of alcohol.

    ¡°Dude, you are too stoic.¡± Jack answered from the other side of the phone.

    ¡°You are already a 25 years old full fledged man and you still haven¡¯t popped your cherry.¡± Jack glanced at the giggling ladies in front of him and gestured them to be silent keeping a finger over his mouth.

    ¡°I just found a girl for you as your friend and brother.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s none of your business.¡± Levian darkened slightly upon hearing his reason even though he had predicted it beforehand.

    ¡°Don¡¯t do something like this in future.¡± Without hearing for the response from the other side Levian cut off the phone and threw it on the bed beside him.

    He was still tired even after sleeping the whole day, no wonder he did not budge even when someone else was sleeping beside him although he hated having physical contact with people; especially the strangers.

    The place he was currently was the XX hotel, one of the branch of the hotel owned by the father of Jack.

    He looked at his sweaty body and felt disgusted with himself. I have to take bath and clean up first. He thought and stood up from the bed in one swift motion. Picking up his white shirt and black suit and coat, he got dressed and was ready to leave in less than five minutes.

    ¡°Is the car still parked in the underground parking lot?¡± Levian picked up the key from the table beside him and called Jack once again.

    ¡°Yes¡­.Are you leaving already?¡± Jack had hoped he would spend another day there in heavenly bliss and pleasure but his brother was just too much of a virtuous man. Hearing the end call of the phone he let out a sigh.

    ¡°Honey, what¡¯s wrong?¡± A girl snuggled up in his arms and asked like a cat.

    Jack looked at the girl that was pasting herself on his body with her lips puckered into a pout and her cleavage clearly open to him and wondered why his good friend, Levian hated touching them.

    ¡­¡­¡­

    Levian washed up his face and directly took the elevator to go to the basement where there was the parking lot.

    His head was still a bit fuzzy. As he was walking , his head suddenly felt dizzy forcing him to halt on the spot to wait for it to subside.

    ¡°What?¡± Levian was dumbfounded when a hand approached to garb him out of nowhere.

    ¡®An ambush in bright day light?¡¯ That was the first thing in his mind and he was ready to fight back when¡­

    Wait¡­Am I falling down? Before he could even complete his series of though he landed heavily on the concrete floor.

    Thanks the heaven, he placed his elbows out to support himself preventing his head from splattering into a bloody mess.

    That was oaky but what was the weight on top of him?

    Levian looked with a frown at the woman who had used him as a cushion to break her fall, his veins in the forehead twitching in anger.

    ¡®Wait, where are you touching me woman?¡¯ He looked stupefied surprised at the woman who was running her claw all over his chest, feeling the linings of the abs in his stomach.

    Am I getting molested in bright daylight? By a pervert woman?

    That was the thought of Levian Smith, the man who hated being touched by others more than anything.

 Chapter 7 - Attending Her Marriage As A Guest

    ¡°Ahemm..¡±

    Levian let out a cough to bring the woman back to her senses hoping she would get off him. Responding to his cough, the woman was finally brought back to reality as she let out a horrified gasp.

    He looked silently as she slowly opened her eyes one at a time and finally meeting her trembling eyes.

    ¡®Hazel eyes, beautiful!¡¯ That was the first thing that came to his mind when he saw her bright eyes that were slightly wet and reddened as if she had been crying all this time.

    ¡®Shit!¡¯

    Finally noticing her messed up massacre and makeup he realized she really had been crying but that ugly face of hers carried its own kind of charm that drew him in.

    ¡°I am sorry.¡± The woman screamed at him and dashed off to her car and was out of sight without even troubling herself to help him.

    He felt a little sense of loss when she moved away from his body but that was soon replaced with an amused feeling. He had never felt this excited in his whole life.

    ¡°An ugly woman who tried to mess with me and run away huh?¡± He let out a soft chuckle while he was still lying on the ground.

    Ignoring the few eyes that were looking at him, he picked himself off the ground and went to the place where he found his car.

    ¡°Roy.¡± He spoke in the phone as soon as he got in his car. Roy was his personal secretary and the man was reliable and fast in his work.

    ¡°Boss, you finally picked up.¡± Roy let out a relived sigh since he had been trying to reach him for the whole day but with no luck.

    ¡°Help me find a person. Send me all of her family background data, childhood all of it by today.¡± With a bright glint in his eyes he ordered Roy.

    ¡°Check the CCTV footage of the parking lot from the XX hotel on the main road.¡± He cut off the call, wore his seat belt and drove out of the parking lot with in a few seconds.

    ¡°Yes, boss.¡± Roy answered him but meanwhile he himself was a little bit confused about his boss who was taking interest in someone else except his business.

    He had thought his boss will marry his business one day but maybe things were taking turn for a better path. Wiping two drops of tear using the side of his handkerchief, he got to working on the spot.

    Researching and getting private information on other people required lots of legal procedures and processes but with the name of his boss, he was able to find almost all the required data in no time.

    ¡­¡­¡­..

    [That night.]

    [Location: The personal Villa of Levian Smith]

    Wrapping a white towel around his waist, water still dripping from his body trailing all the sexy lines in his body Levian got out of the bathroom.

    ¡°Boss, the materials are in the study room.¡± Roy handed him the robe informing him about the work he had completed.

    Levian nodded his head as he put on the robe and entered the study room.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Looking at the data compiled in the report, Levian let out a surprised sound.

    ¡°So she is a daughter of Lona Family.¡± He looked at her identification card attached to the report.

    ¡°And it seems like she is getting married to a scum the next day.¡± He looked at the photo of a third class scumbag attached in the file who had the look of ¡®I AM A PURE SCUM¡¯ clear as day in his face.

    ¡°Her choice in men in kind of awful.¡± He shook his head when he looked at their history of dating and ¡®that man¡¯s¡¯ history of dating a girl called Bella behind her back.

    The man was the president of a small unknown company while the woman he met today was a well fledged surgeon in a hospital.

    Despite coming from a well off family, she was actually working her butt off to achieve her dreams and even secured such a high position at a young age.

    ¡°Tenacious.¡± That was the only word he found for her.

    Seeing that Roy was still waiting for him on the study, he put the file aside and questioned him about why he was not leaving yet.

    ¡°Boss, you have an invitation for marriage tomorrow.¡± Roy was not sure whether he should inform him or not after all his boss hated going to the events and parties that had nothing to do with business.

    ¡°Oh¡­what kind of invitation?¡± Levian was curious since Roy never mentioned such things to him since he knew he hated them to death.

    ¡°From the Lona household, boss.¡±

    ¡°The Lona family?¡± He raised his eyes brows in an arc hook. The Lona family had been a well-off family but their share had been declining in the stock market for past few years.

    ¡°Yes, They want you to bless them with your graceful presence and bless the married couple.¡±

    ¡°Blessing the Lona Family with my presence you say?¡± Levian hooked up his lips in a smirk as he took the invitation card from his hand with an amused look lingering in his face as if he was getting ticket to a free movie show.

    After looking at all of the information he had understood one thing.

    That stupid girl, Sherry was her name was going to face a lot of drama tomorrow. And was he going to miss it?

    Absolutely not. That girl had piqued his interest in his boring life which was only full of business, meetings and profits.

    ¡°If you do not want to attend, I can simply send a sorry letter to them.¡± Roy offered just like always ready to write an apology letter to Mr. Lona and Mrs. Lona.

    ¡°No need.¡± Levian handed him back the card while he got up from the chair preparing to retire for the night.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Roy looked at him with a surprised and confused face.

    ¡°I am going to attend the wedding tomorrow.¡± His deep husky voice had a hint of and excitement in them.

    ¡°Prepare everything for tomorrow.¡±

 Chapter 8 - To The Wedding Place

    ¡°You look beautiful Sherry.¡± Bella entered her room as Sherry was preparing to wear her dress.

    ¡°Bella..¡± Sherry¡¯s face lightened up when she saw Bella entering but the images from last time came back to haunt her.

    ¡°Glad you are here..¡± She gave an uncomfortable smile, which must have looked a little unnatural to Bells because the color of Bella¡¯s face changed suddenly at that moment.

    ¡®Did she notice something off about me?¡¯ Sherry wondered curiously.

    ¡°You okay girl?¡± Standing up, she went to check on Bella who was just standing there.

    On the other hand, Bella felt a slight pain on her stomach ad there was a slight fetal movement as well.

    ¡®Did we overdo it yesterday?¡¯ Se wondered while clutching her stomach. She was already starting to feel sweaty because of the pain.

    ¡°Nothing is wrong at all.¡± Bella cheered up instantly in order not to get her suspicious. ¡°Since it is your marriage today, guess I was too excited to sleep yesterday.¡±

    ¡°To excited to sleep you say?¡± Sherry was reminded of how the woman was sleeping like a log after the deed. How hypocritical she was, Sherry could only scoff in her heart.

    It was not the right time yet.

    Bella gave her a tight hug and a wet smooch landed on her right cheek. But even that hug and kiss lost the warmth and happiness they brought her once upon a time.

    ¡°Don¡¯t press yourself so hard¡­.geeze..¡± Sherry pointed at her bloated stomach and said with a little laugh.

    ¡°You might squash the baby.¡±

    Bella felt there was something wrong with the way she spoke but..

    ¡®Might be my illusion..¡¯ She just waved off the thought and decided to concentrate on her own plans. She could not afford to mess up the big plan they had made for so long.

    As she was doing her hair, Bella suddenly asked for a drink.

    Wow, same dialogue as the last life!

    All this time, Sherry had a little doubt in whether all of this was her dream and the fact that she was reborn was just her delusion.

    But No!!

    She was more than sure about the fact that she indeed died and was reborn.

    ¡°Okay, please stay well.¡± Sherry went to the kitchen to fetch a glass of milk.

    As if..

    She stayed back and watched what she was going to do from the door silently.

    As soon as Sherry was gone, Bella stood up from the chair she was sitting on and took out something from her purse.

    As a doctor how could she not know what that was!!

    Just from the looks of it, she could easily tell that it was a poison, one that did not leave its trace after it mixed into the bloodstream. So when the one who had drank this dies, people will just think it was just death.

    As for poisoning, only a top toxicologists could actually find out that a person was poisoned after running various tests and chemicals on them.

    But how did she get her hand on such a dangerous toxin? Sherry was more shocked by thus revelations. It was not a rat kill that was found in all the shops that grew around like mushroom in rainy season.

    Was there something else she did not know? Sherry was filled with even more questions but she was much sadder on knowing that the poisoning was true.

    ¡®All for the sake of Chris? Are you doing this to me to get him?¡¯ Sherry felt a heart wrenching pain but not a drop of tear fell down from her eyes.

    She was too dry to cry right now.

    ¡°Bella, I am back.¡± Sherry deliberately increased her tone to let her arrival be known to her.

    Bella hurriedly hid the poison in her purse and took out lipstick and pretended to have been putting it on when she arrived.

    ¡°Thank you honey.¡± Bella smiled putting the lipstick on her bag again.

    Sherry handed the milk she had brought with a swift smile. After drinking the milk, Bella picked up the water bottle and offered it Sherry.

    ¡°You look really tired and sweaty.¡± She urged her to take the bottle.

    ¡°Have some drink to hydrate yourself..tch..What will you do when I am not around.¡±

    Acting like a proper sister she helped Sherry to wipe the few beads of sweat on her fore head while her was already wet with it since her stomach was giving her slight pain once in a while.

    Sherry took the water bottle, opened it and when she was about to lift it up, she accidentally¡­.yes accidentally it fell from her hand spilling the water all over the carpet even wetting her wedding dress.

    ¡°Oh no¡­¡± It was Bella who had a horrified expression on her face that screamed out in shock.

    ¡°This, how could you be this careless??¡± She screamed at a high pitch but when she realized Sherry was giving her a strange look.

    ¡°Why are you acting like this?¡± Sherry looked at her with her eyes widened in surprise.

    ¡°It¡¯s just spilling water.¡±

    ¡°I mean¡­er¡­..look at your dress stupid.¡± She changed her statements but her voice could not hide the panic she felt.

    ¡°Come on, its just a dress. Don¡¯t act like something big happened.¡± Sherry gave out a soft chuckle.

    -It¡¯s just dress that was ruined¡­.It¡¯s not like I will be using it anyway though. Sherry gripped the side of her wedding dress and took a long breathe.

    A long silence followed as none of them knew what to speak. Bella was lost in her own world as she tried to think things through.

    If the plan to poison her did not succeed, they were going to blame her for failure. Everything was supposed to have ended here but somehow, things were not working according to it.

    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go now.¡± Sherry laughed to ease the situation and the atmosphere breaking Bella¡¯s chain of thought and yanking her back to reality.

    ¡°Go where?¡± Bella who was about to get up from the ground felt a bad premonition when she heard her speak.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious?¡± Sherry lifted the veil from the dressing table and placed it on her head.

    ¡°To the wedding place.¡±

    Sherry gave a slight smile.

    She had her own plans after all.

 Chapter 9 - Hypocritical Aunt

    Bella watched in horror as Sherry made her way out of the door.

    ¡°Wait¡­¡± Bella tried to call her but the same pain engulfed her stomach. Her voice was too thin and small for Sherry to hear so she did not realize Bella was calling for her.

    The bungalow of Lona Family was a large state so the wedding was going to take place in the villa itself.

    The main building was decorated with lights and flowers. Even the walls were painted in new colors. From curtains to bed sheets, sofa covers and carpets everything was changed.

    ¡°Ahh..young miss. You look beautiful.¡± The maid of the house who was cleaning the room saw her coming out of her room and exclaimed in surprise.

    It was the oldest maid of the house who had been working for the Lona family since the reign of her parents.

    ¡°Thank you aunt.¡± Sherry have always been loved by the oldest maid like her own daughter so she too loved her back as much as she did.

    ¡°Ayee¡­.you are the sweetest.¡± The old maid smiled showing all of her teeth and got back to her work.

    She picked up a carton containing materials that needed to have been thrown out.

    Sherry was about to walk away but then she noticed something in the carton. Sherry widened her eyes in shock when she saw that it was her the vase that her mother loved to death.

    ¡®What is it doing here?¡¯ Sherry clasped the arm of the old maid who was startled by the sudden physical contact.

    ¡°Young miss¡­what is it?¡± The old maid asked with a curious gaze.

    Sherry did not speak anything as she directly grabbed the carton box and plunged her hand inside the old and dirty clothes.

    ¡°Miss..What are you doing? You will get your hand dirty.¡± The old maid gasped when she saw the unruly act of the young miss.

    Sherry did not speak anything but quietly took out the vase with a firm hand. But she found something else more. There were all the collections of her mother dumped inside the carton box for throwing away.

    In her last life, Sherry had not thought much about all these changes as she was blinded by her happiness about marrying her love of life.

    But now that she was looking around carefully, everything seemed way over the top. Clutching the vase she looked around the house which almost looked as good as new. It was as if they were clearing away the old traces of anything that belonged to her and her parents.

    ¡°Aunt, why is this here?¡± Sherry did not look at her while speaking. ¡°You know this belongs to my mom.¡±

    ¡°This¡­the lady of the house wanted to clear out all of the old materials from the living room.¡± The old maid replied in a normal tone.

    ¡°My aunt you mean?¡± Sherry asked with a little surprised tone.

    ¡°Yes¡­.wait why do you look this surprised?¡± The old maid saw that something was wrong with her facial expression.

    ¡°She told me that now that you were moving out, you said that we could throw away all the materials that was taking up space.¡± The old maid tried remembering what exactly had been said to her.

    Sherry was more than at shock on what she was listening. It was her first time hearing something like that.

    When did she ever give permission to throw away all the materials from the house? Especially when the things belonged to her deceased mother.

    ¡°Young miss..¡± the old maid had thought there was something wrong when the lady of the house asked her to clean up the stuff from the house.

    Suddenly there was ticking sound of a pencil heel from the stairs coming down from the second floor.

    ¡°Hahaha¡­Don¡¯t worry things are going well.¡± A sharp female voice came along with the footsteps.

    Sherry looked up from where she stood as the footsteps came closer and closer.

    ¡°He has accepted our invite¡­.Hahaha¡­Sherry will¡­.¡± The voice which was enthusiastic just a moment ago suddenly halted in middle of her speech as if she had seen a ghost.

    ¡°Sherry will what aunt?¡± Sherry spoke with a chill in her voice as she looked at the thin woman dressed in tight dress that outlined her skinny figure wearing a 6 inch sandal.

    ¡°Y-You are still¡­..¡± She was about to say something but quickly regained her composure when she realized it was just Sherry, the na?ve sweet looking girl.

    ¡°My, you look beautiful honey.¡± The lady of house and also the aunt of Sherry showed a wide smile squinting her eyes and walked towards Sherry.

    Sherry did not speak anything as she watched the fox looking woman approach her. It looked like her aunt while at the same time see felt different.

    ¡°Aunt¡­..¡± Sherry was about to say something when she was interrupted by the skinny lady.

    ¡°Bella¡­Where is she? She did not come with you?¡± She looked behind Sherry and around the house but there was no trace of Bella.

    ¡°Why do you need her?¡± Sherry squinted her eyes while looking at her aunt who was more interested in her best friend; a total stranger than at her own niece.

    ¡°Why would I need her?¡± Her aunt laughed a little waving off her hand in air. ¡°Of course I need her to take care of my baby niece properly.¡± She caught her hand in an awkward and over friendly manner.

    ¡®Why is she still alive and walking?¡¯ Her aunt inwardly rolled her eyes her hand unconsciously grabbing her hand like as if she was squashing a pumpkin.

    ¡®That ungrateful bitch¡­did she mess up everything?¡¯ Gritting her teeth slightly she cursed Bella while her stretched skin on her face still managed to create the fake type of ¡®smile.¡¯

    ¡°Aunt¡­you are holding my hand too tight.¡± Unaware of all her thoughts Sherry looked at her hand and at her aunt back and forth.

    ¡°Opps¡­sorry I was so excited.¡± Her aunt removed her hand like as if her hand was on fire at where they touched. Each of her action and words were way too hypocritical to the point, Sherry felt bugs crawling on her skin.

    ¡°Hahahaha¡­.Why are you standing here honey?¡± Her aunt moved sideways from where she stood up.

    ¡°All of the guest have already arrived¡­¡±

    Right at that moment, Sherry interrupted her. For her the guests were not important. They were insignificant.

    ¡°Aunt, why are you throwing my mother¡¯s belongings away without telling me?¡± Sherry was in no mood to entertain her and directly asked what she wanted to.

    ¡°What?¡± Her aunt looked at her with a shocked expression, her mouth wide open unable to squeeze out even a single word.

    ¡°This..¡± Sherry showed the vase and waited for the answer her.......or more like ''Excuse'' her aunt was about to come up with.

 Chapter 10 - Its Showtime

    The aunt looked at the vase in her hand widening her eyes, her eyes slowly shifting from the vase to the old maid who was standing beside her.

    What was that doing there and how did Sherry found this out? She felt panicked in her heart.

    ¡®This bitch can¡¯t even do any work properly..¡¯ She cursed inwardly but she stopped herself and brought a smile to her face.

    ¡°Ohh¡­this¡­haaha..¡± She laughed nervously as she fanned herself with her hands while she dabbed her hand on her forehead to wipe off the sweat beads on it.

    ¡®Things were not supposed to go like this.¡¯ Her nerves were on verge of breaking at facing this unexpected turns of events.

    ¡°Yes, This.¡± Sherry did not know anything about their inside plan but she was not a stupid to not know there was something wrong with everything; the house, her aunt and even this whole wedding.

    ¡°Ahh¡­so what happened was..¡± Her aunt spoke slowly fiddling with her shoulder length hair and gave a nervous laugh. She was trying to buy time for some one else to come and make things better.

    The old maid was also waiting for her to answer because she almost made the young girl, Sherry sad by throwing away something as precious as that.

    ¡°I was thinking that¡­ahemm..¡± The aunt was about to come up with a blatant lie when as if hearing her prayers, her phone rang.

    ¡°Omo¡­wait for me to receive this call okay baby girl..hehe..¡± Chuckling with a hint of relief, she flimsily walked away holding her phone to maintain some distance and checked the caller ID.

    Sherry watched her aunt who was walking like a duckling swaying her padded butts as fast as she could. She was about to say something when she decided to shut up for a while.

    ¡°Aunty¡­.¡± She looked at her old maid who was waiting silently on the floor beside her.

    ¡°Yes, young miss.¡± The old maid replied as soon as her name was called.

    ¡°This and this¡­¡± She handed her all of her mother¡¯s belongings as softly as she could, afraid she might break and damage them.

    ¡°Please put them in separate box for me.¡± She looked at her with a warm smile as she thought about how important and beautiful the memories she shared with these and her mothers were.

    ¡°O-Okay young miss¡­¡± The old maid took the belongings with great care feeling a little guilty for almost throwing them away.

    She should have known better there was something fishy about all this.

    ¡°Sorry for almost throwing them.¡± She apologized with a heavy face.

    Sherry looked at her smiling and placed her hands on her shoulder gently.

    ¡°It was not your fault. Please do not blame yourself.¡± Sherry spoke softly and gently which came with her nature and as a doctor who had to deal with hundreds of patients.

    ¡°I will get the answers from the real culprit soon.¡± Sherry said gently but there was a slight hint of anger and pain in her voice.

    Sherry looked at her dress and remembered she had a Wedding to attend. Averting her gaze from the old lady of the house, she walked towards the window and saw that the garden where her marriage was about to take place was almost full.

    ¡°It¡¯s Showtime now.¡± Sherry silently eyed a tall man clad in wedding suit looking hunkier than a hunk. No wonder people say a dress makes a man.

    In her last life, she died before getting to see him in a wedding attire but now that she saw him, he looked nothing extraordinary apart from whether.

    He had already lost his charms for her.

    Right when she turned away, a luxurious car entered the mansion.

    Meanwhile, the aunt checked her phone and saw the caller ID.

    It was none other than the current master of the house, her husband and Sherry¡¯s uncle.

    ¡°Honey¡­.¡± As soon as she picked the phone up, she screamed right into it.

    ¡°Aissh¡­¡­what¡¯s with that loud voice..Are you going to kill me?¡± knitting his brows in a tight frown, he scowled in the phone his mood a little bit antsy.

    ¡°But..¡± When the aunt was about to speak the man on the other side who was welcoming guests in the garden spoke interrupting her.

    ¡°All the guests are here, even MR. Smith is here.¡± He looked at the expensive car that had just entered the villa with greedy eyes.

    The main reason for todays¡¯ wedding was also finally here.

    ¡°About that honey¡­.¡± Biting her nails she was about to inform him but her voice was sound because she was hesitating on how to inform him.

    ¡°Have you gone to her room? Is the deed done yet?¡± There was urgency in his voice as he watched the door of the car open slowly in great elegance.

    ¡°That¡¯s what I was going to say dear¡­listen to me first.¡± Taking a deep breathe, the aunt whispered on the phone scowling

    ¡°She¡­.that fool is still alive and breathing.¡± Wrinkling her already old skin she spoke with pure hatred and disgust in her face.

    ¡°What?¡± The burly looking man on the other side of the call almost fell of his feet when he heard this. With the help of his hands he pushed the wall and balanced himself.

    ¡°W-What?¡± He could not believe his ears. Wasn¡¯t everything planned well?

    Then why on earth was the girl alive?

    Shouldn''t she have been sent to heaven by now??

    ¡°That girl Bella¡­where is she?¡± He asked when he remembered the one who was tasked with the main work. She was the one who was supposed to execute the first phase of action.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t she do the job?¡± He was furious and almost trembling in fear and anger right now.

    ¡°About her, when I asked about Sherry she said that she did not know..¡± Her aunt got frantic as she thought about how things had gone wrong all of sudden.

    ¡°I saw her entering the house a few hours ago¡­¡± The man clicked his tongue in displeasure and looked at the gathering guests among which Levian Smith stood out without any trouble.

    ¡°Go and check Sherry¡¯s room¡­who knows what she is up to in Sherry¡¯s room¡­.¡± The man spat his face looking uglier than ever with the dirty look in his face.

    At the same party, a man in black wedding suit and well made hair was in the garden talking.

    Chris Jones, Sherry¡¯s soon to be husband who was talking with the guest while he waited for the ceremony to start saw that his soon to be Father in law looking paler than palest thing he had ever seen.

    ¡°Please excuse me.¡± He smiled politely at the guest he was talking to and moved towards the master of Lona family.

    The guest looked at the man who was walking away sighing.

    "Such a fine young man...whished he was my son in law as well." An old woman gave out a sigh looking at him.

    "Forget about him, how about that man.." Her best friends who was as old as her motioned at the young man who had just gotten off of the car.

    "We should hope for a son in law like him." She said with a proud smug motioning at Levian Smith, the national best son in law candidate of all old and middle aged ladies.

    By this moment they had already forgotten about Chris who was making his way towards the Lona Family head.

    .

    .

    ¡°¡­¡­.Got it?¡±

    Chris only heard this much when he reached him.

    ¡°Is everything okay??¡± He looked at the man who was wiping his sweat with a white handkerchief. "You look troubled."

    ¡°C-Chris¡­¡± The man stuttered when he saw him coming out of nowhere and almost dropped his phone out of his hand on to the ground but caught it right on time.

    He was even more panicked when he saw his soon to be son in law.

    ¡°W-W-hy are you here now?¡±

 Chapter 11 - The Wedding Is Cancelled

    ¡°Why are you acting this petrified?¡± Chris slowly approached the man.

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me something is actually wrong?¡± Chris glanced at his sweaty face and those eyes which were averting their gaze from him.

    ¡°No¡­everything is okay.¡± The master of Lona household, aka the man who was Sherry¡¯s uncle unconsciously wiped his fore head once again. He had asked his wife to sort out things before there was any change in the plan.

    Fiddling with his finger he waited for his wife to report back to him all the while Chris closely observed the emotions flickering in his face.

    Something was absolutely wrong. Chris pondered for a while and looked at his watch. It was already the time for wedding which meant the deed must have been done already.

    ¡®Did they fail?¡¯ He had doubts but he quickly waved it off because he was confident in his own plan. Taking into account Sherry¡¯s blind love towards him and her na?ve nature, he had formulated this plan with all of his heart.

    There was trumpet of victory already ringing inside his mind.

    All of the guest were already seated in their respective seats and the priest was also ready to conduct the wedding ceremony.

    With a smile he looked at the sweating man and said, ¡° I will be waiting in the altar. Please bring your daughter soon.¡±

    But what he said was betrayed by his voice and his look on the face.

    Those dark eyes, curled up lips that showed a dangerous smirk and mockery in his face betrayed what a groom waiting for a bride was supposed to be looking like.

    ¡°C-Chris¡­¡± He tried to call him but Chris was already walking towards the altar to wait for his bride¡­

    As if¡­

    He was waiting for the news of the death of his soon to be wife.

    Just then the silent phone of the man came back to life as it rung with Di Di di sound.

    Seeing his wife¡¯s name in the caller id, he felt a relief and hurriedly picked it up in the first tone.

    Before he could ask her about the progress his wife was the one who spoke first.

    What he said was more than enough to drain all the color from his face.

    ¡­¡­.

    Chris had just placed himself in the raised platform where the priest was standing with a bible in his head ready to start the wedding when everyone started to make gasping noises.

    Chris was standing with his back facing the villa so he could not see what was going on there. From where he stood he could see the guest trying their hard to look at the villa.

    Some were even straining their neck.

    ¡®Hehe..seems like that wretched fool has died.¡¯ Chris thought the commotion was due to Sherry¡¯s uncle and aunt rushing here with a pretense of panicking because that was the plan.

    He even readied himself to act shocked and shattered when the news will come to him.

    Among the guests was a dignified man who sat with this legs crossing and overlapping on top of one another.

    Levian Smith glanced at the tall and slender figure that was advancing towards them in a normal and elegant pace.

    He compared the ugly and disheveled face he had seen the day before with the angelic face that he saw now, his heart almost doing a somersault.

    ¡°Beautiful.¡±

    Unconsciously, from his mouth escaped the word he had never used in his life to describe a person. In his life only money and profit had ever looked pretty.

    His secretary who was sitting right beside him thought he was hearing things when he heard what he said.

    ¡®Did my boss just call someone beautiful? He wondered if his ears were ringing but if he was not than he was sure the world was going to end.

    It was already weird he was joining a social event such as marriage but now he was even saying weird things.

    His secretary knew things were not going to be same anymore.

    Levian observed Sherry for a while and thought there was something wrong with how she looked.

    Weren¡¯t bride supposed to walk with their father?

    And what about the bouquet of flower in their hands? Although he had never shown interest in marriage he knew one how the wedding ceremonies worked.

    Looking at the current bride, he understood there was going to be some drama right now.

    ¡°I made the right decision coming here today.¡± Levian was not the type to enjoy scandalous affairs but if it involved the interesting lady he thought it was worth him wasting his time.

    Meanwhile, Sherry was marching towards the place where Chris and the priest were standing. Lifting her long white gown that highlighted all of her curved and edges, Sherry walked with her head held high.

    ¡°Why is she alone?¡± The guest whispered among each other as they looked at Sherry. ¡°What about Mr. Lona.¡±

    The reporters and media people who had come to take footage of the wedding today shifted their focus on the woman.

    How could they not smell the drama that was about to take place? They were born to sniff out even smallest of spicy news.

    Chris felt there was something wrong with how everyone was behaving and had no choice but turn back and see what was happening.

    Someone was walking towards him clad in white dress and looking closely he realized it was none other than his fianc¨¦e.

    ¡°Ghost?¡± his heart beat almost stopped as he looked at Sherry but when he noticed her shadow realizing she was a human in blood and flesh he was even more panicked.

    What the fuck was going on here? Wasn¡¯t she supposed to be dead by now?

    What about Bella? He grew more and more uneasy with this unfolding of event.

    But the reality was slapped right into his face as he watched Sherry take steps closer to him.

    Chris was sweating from his hands and foreheads. He remembered the troubled look on the face of Sherry¡¯s uncle and finally realized why he was panicking.

    ¡°The plan had failed.¡± Chris muttered under his breath through his gritted teeth. He clenched his fingers in to a tight fist.

    Without sparing anyone any gaze, Sherry directly walked from between the chair where guest were sitting. In a short time she was standing right before the whole crowd.

    The priest was also some what surprised by this weird turn of events.

    ¡°Hey hon-ey, why are you here alone?¡± Chris almost bit this tongue as he confronted Sherry who was looking at him in the eyes.

    Under the meaningful look of Levian Smith, the invited guests, the priest and the reporters Sherry took a deep breathe.

    ¡°This wedding is canceled.¡±

 Chapter 12 - First Swear Dedicated To You

    ¡°This marriage is cancelled.¡±

    Chris felt as if he was hearing things.

    Did she just say marriage is cancelled? From where in the fucking world did she have the courage to call off the marriage?

    Wasn¡¯t she the one who was trying to get him to marry her all these years? She was chasing after him like a dog running after its master.

    ¡®This is not time to think about that.¡¯ Chris cleared his mind of any other unnecessary thoughts and focused on the problem at his hands at the moment.

    Fuck the plan that was ruined¡­This was much more important for him.

    ¡°Sherry honey what do you mean you are calling off the marriage.¡± Chris was trying to appease Sherry before trying anything else.

    Even if the plan failed, they could execute a plan some other time but it was only possible as long as Sherry was dancing in his palm.

    But with the marriage gone, tables were going to turn around for them. He could not let that happen.

    ¡°Its exactly like you heard. The marriage is off, we are done.¡± Sherry took out the veil from her head and threw it right at his face.

    Even while showing such an extreme action of hatred, Sherry¡¯s face was expressionless.

    The priest who had been standing all this time looked at the two people before him and asked in all seriousness.

    ¡°Is there some problem, Miss Sherry and Mister Chris?¡± Shrewdly he looked at both of them simultaneously.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Sherry replied with a calm stature.

    ¡°No.¡± Chris quickly denied there being any problem.

    Two different answers rang out at the same time.

    The guests had also realized that they were witnessing something instead of wedding that they had come to attend.

    But did they mind it? Nope, they did not mind this change in event by not even a bit.

    ¡°Forget about the wedding¡­This is much more interesting.¡±

    Currently almost all of the guests were looking forward to the fight between the two young people who were about to get married.

    ¡°This is the scoop we need..This is the best.¡± A reporter from the ABC news was taking notes and even recording the whole event in his camera.

    Wirth this piece of news, he knew it was going to be worthwhile. He suspected he might even be able to get the highest rating ever if their agency was the first one to release this news.

    It was a big news surrounding one of the influential family in the city.

    Meanwhile in the wedding altar, Chris had grabbed Sherry¡¯s wrist and was trying to reason with her forcefully.

    ¡°Whatever you are mad at, let¡¯s talk it later okay honey?¡± In a sickeningly sweet voice as if he was trying to coax a lover in to giving in to his demands, he approached Sherry.

    ¡°Let¡¯s resume the wedding.¡± Chris had already done quick thinking. Since the plan had failed, the vest course of action was marrying Sherry to keep her under their grasp.

    Sherry did nothing but looked silently at the place where his hands were grabbing her.

    ¡°Here, put this on.¡± He picked up the white silk veil and tried putting it on the top of her heads. With the flick of her hands she swatted away the hands that were trying to put the veil on top of her.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare touch me¡­¡± Sherry was finally showing raging emotions in her deep hazel eyes.

    ¡°Chris, Or should I say Mr. Chris.¡± Sherry finally spoke but there was a mocking tone in her voice.

    Chris felt there was something wrong with how she was addressing him. Raising his head, he could see the guest looking at them with round googly eyes as if they were enjoying a show in theatre.

    And was it pity he was seeing in those predating eyes? Chris felt a sense of humiliation rush over his entire self.

    This won¡¯t do..He felt anger rise with in him engulfing his consciousness in flames of humiliations.

    If there was one thing he hated, it was being looked down upon by others. It was his male ego in action.

    ¡°W-Why are you acting like this and making fun of both of us?¡± Chris pulled her near him and whispered through his gritted teeth in her ear.

    ¡°Behave and say sorry to me now¡­I will pretend this never happened.¡± Chris commanded her as he knew Sherry was even willing to die for him if he asked her.

    ¡°I will even forgive you for your insolence.¡± Chris held her hand tightly and whispered once again.

    He thought it was her rare cases of terrible mood swings because of which she was acting the way she was now.

    A little warning from him was enough for her to snap back to her sense. He deluded himself.

    ¡°Apologize?¡± Sherry wanted to laugh at Chris who was still thinking he could control Sherry by blackmailing her with emotions.

    How great was the man she was about to marry? Sherry was almost speechless as she witnessed the shamelessness of her fianc¨¦ and lover.

    ¡°Yes, apologize to me and to the guest who had arrived here today.¡± Chris set the rules as if he was the one in command.

    ¡°¡­¡­¡±, This ungrateful scum bag. Lucia could not clam down her anger and emotions.

    Under the impulse, Sherry did something she had never done before.

    She dedicated what she was going to do exclusively to Chris. She raised her hand and pointed her middle finger at Chris and spoke the first ever cursing words she ever used.

    ¡°Fuck you, Chris.¡±

    Chris who had never seen or heard her swear, ¡°¡­..¡±

    The priest who was holding the bible, ¡°¡­¡­..¡±

    Levian Smith who was looking at the screen enthusiastically, ¡°¡­¡­.¡±

    The cameraman wondered if they might have to edit out this part in the news. He hoped not as for some reason he thought the young missy looked cool when she did that.

    ¡°We are in public¡­Behave yourself Sherry.¡± Chris had never liked the na?ve Sherry but he did not hate her either.

    But the sherry before him was like a serpent that was trying to bind itself around his neck and choke him. He hated this Sherry more than anything.

    Sherry had realized that Chris had a hand in her death along with Bella and her uncle and aunt¡¯s family. After buying the dress the last evening, she spent her entire time thinking things through.

    Cheating was one thing but betrayal to the point of killing her was something else. Sherry was not a saint who had compassionate heart which forgave anyone.

    ¡°We are in public so that is why I am doing this.¡± Sherry showed an unusual smile that was different from her usual bright and sunny smile.

    ¡°I want you to feel humiliated¡­What I am doing is as simple as that.¡± Sherry spoke neither hastily nor leisurely.

    Seeing that made Chris even more irritated than he already was.

    ¡°You¡­.¡± Chris was about to say something and had even raised his hand to hit her when suddenly Mrs. Lona, Sherry¡¯s aunt came running from the Villa and stood in front of Chris.

    Sherry looked at the panting aunt and felt something was not right inside the house.

    ¡°Chris¡­..Its Bella¡­..¡± Mrs.. Lona stuttered as she informed Chris.

 Chapter 13 - Want To Make Her Submit

    Chapter 13

    ¡°Boss, where do you want me to go?¡± Wearing his seatbelt, Roy turned back to look at Levian Smith who was entering the back seat.

    ¡°Go to the company directly.¡± Levian took off his coat and threw it beside. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned the top most buttons on his shirt revealing his wheat colored tanned skin and sexy collar bones.

    ¡°Yes boss.¡± Roy started the car and left the parking hall. With in a few second they were driving on the main road.

    Levian picked up the tablet and turned it on. He usually did not like to spend time in social media but today he had the urge to open it.

    He clicked on the red icon for apps in the home page and scrolled down the newsfeed in the postagram.

    The top most post caught his attention. He brought out the air pod and put it in his ear.

    ¡°These people are super fast..¡± Levian¡¯s mouth curled up in a smile as he tapped on the trending news on the home page.

    ¡°Boss, did you find something interesting?¡± Roy who was driving the car saw his boss smiling as he looked at his tablet on hand.

    ¡°Social media is waste of time.¡± Levian had always disregarded the use of social media if it was not for profit oriented business.

    But now the same man was immersed in it. Roy wondered what black magic was done on his boss.

    He had rarely seen his boss act like that so it came as a surprise to him. Plus the day had just been wasted uselessly.

    Roy had expected him to be a little angry but instead his boss was looking at the tablet with a smile in his face as if he was watching a lover of his performing something.

    Roy felt his boss was acting stranger than strange since yesterday. He was slightly concerned but decided to wave off his worries.

    His boss was a capable man, he didn¡¯t have to worry about him. Roy thought in his heart.

    Levian head Roy¡¯s question but he did not speak anything, only slightly nodded his head.

    On his tablet that he was holding, a video was playing.

    [THE MARRIAGE IS CALLED OFF BY THE BRIDE!!!]

    [WATCH THE BRIDE FACESLAP HER CHEATING FIANCE ON THE DAY OF THE WEDDING!]

    #Cheating_man

    #Scum_bag lover

    #Lona family

    Under such hash tags and title, a video was trending on the internet. From the time of upload, Levian deduced the video to have been posted only half an hour ago.

    A woman dressed in a beautiful white gown; a wedding dress was confronting a man who was likewise ready for a wedding.

    The man had a surprise Pikachu face when the bride threw her veil at him. Levian had seen this scene for the 2nd time today and it looked fresher than fresh to him.

    ¡°She is really bold.¡± Levian commented in a low voice applauding her gut to do that on the day of her wedding.

    He had thought the family might cause uproar in the wedding today but betraying his expectation, Sherry was the one who called off the wedding.

    ¡°So, she knew he was a jerk all along then.¡± Levian was surprised at the out come of today¡¯s event.

    ¡°But if she knew, she would not have stuck to him for such a long time.¡± Levian wondered inwardly.

    He could not put his finger on how and why Sherry changed her decision over night.

    The woman was getting more and more interesting and mysterious.

    But because of all this, somehow, he felt her to be more appealing to his eyes. He even wondered how it will feel like to make her submit to him.

    ¡°boss, we have arrived.¡± Roy interrupted his thoughts when he informed them about their arrival on the company.

    ¡°Good.¡± The air surrounding Levian suddenly changed from relaxed to sophisticated and unapproachable. He placed away his tablet and took out the air pod from his ear.

    He had wasted almost half a day today by accepting the invitation. Now it was back to working for him. Work was his real lover after all..

    But he still had a slight curiosity in his heart.

    ¡°How is she going to handle the after math of her actions?¡± Levian; like an excited adolescent kid wanted to know what happened after the lady head of Lona family came running.

    It was chaotic after they all left hurriedly with only the head of house, Mr. Lona apologizing and sending everyone home.

    ¡°Well, I can always get my answers.¡± Levian entered the elevator to get to his office.

    Meanwhile, the Sherry household was as good as dead. The whole premises of the building was silent.

    All the guest why had arrived earlier in the morning to attend the marriage had already returned back.

    While outside the house, there was pin drop silence, inside the living room of the main building a figure sat on the couch cross legged.

    Sherry still in her wedding dress was sitting alone in the huge living room, her face shadowed and darkened. With her hands clasped in front of her face, Sherry rested her throbbing fore head on it.

    ¡°Young miss..¡± the old maid of the house was standing on the doorway observing her all this time. Unable to take it anymore, she walked inside and tapped Sherry gently on her shoulder.

    As an old lady who was unaware about the situation between Sherry and Chris, she did not understand why Sherry broke off such a good marriage, yet she did not ask her anything since she knew it was not her place to poke her nose in to.

    She believed in Sherry¡¯s decision and was confident Sherry had her own reason for doing so.

    ¡°Aunty..¡± Sherry did not raise her head but spoke softly, her head still hanging down in depressed mood. The old maid felt her heart shattering into pieces when she heard the exhausted and dried out vice of Sherry.

    Sherry was someone she loved like her daughter after all. Seeing her in pain made her maternal heart well up with sadness.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine, Sherry, everything is fine.¡± Wrapping her arms around the trembling body of Sherry, the old maid coaxed her gently.

    Sherry rested her head on her bosom, the warmth emitting engulfed her breaking heart and exhausted mind.

    There were only two people in the room, the warm sunlight poured inside the room from the window which slowly lifted the heavy atmosphere inside.

    Sherry did not know how long she clung on to the old maid, but after a while she finally felt her turmoil of emotions settling down.

    She was glad she dumped her betraying fianc¨¦ before a mass of people but she could not erase the empty feeling in her heart. All her beliefs and trust came crashing down in a day, no it took less than a day for everything to turn around by 360 degree.

    It was given for her to feel everything she was feeling now.

    Sniffling little, she let go of the dress she was clutching.

    Just at the moment, the door of the living room opened with a bang startling the two woman.

 Chapter 14 - Feign Innocence

    Chapter 14

    Chris looked furious, his eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the two women in the room. Precisely, he was staring at the one in wedding dress; Sherry.

    ¡°Oh, you are back?¡± Sherry asked in a relaxed voice. Although she was scared when the door opened with such a loud sound, she had already picked up herself back.

    SO when she saw that it was him, she actually felt more relaxed than she had thought she would. She was not sacred of this stupid guy.

    ¡°You¡­¡± Chris gritted his teeth as he walked towards her without speaking anything. His silence was the sign for something violent and Sherry knew it.

    ¡°Mister Chris.¡± The old house maid stood in front of Sherry like a hen protecting her chicken. By looking at the face of Chris , she knew he was trying to do something bad to Sherry.

    ¡°Step away.¡± Chris had his face darkened with anger. He did not even give a damn care that she was on old lady and mercilessly pushed her away.

    ¡°Chris, don¡¯t hurt her.¡± Sherry was angered by his action and stood up from her seat as she tried to hold the old maid in her arms.

    ¡°Right, You are the one who deserves the pain.¡± Chris smiled, his smile growing sinister with each second.

    With a raise of his hand, he grabbed Sherry¡¯s shoulder and forced her to look at him. Since he was slightly taller than her, he had to raise her head to meet his eye level.

    Sherry bit her lip to prevent sound of her groan in pain from coming out when he pulled her chin. She did not want to show this hateful man any more of her weakness than she already had.

    ¡°What do you want?¡± Sherry matched his eye level and asked with out any fear in her eyes. She did not fear this lying and cheating piece of shit.

    Moreover, the fact that he was even acting this way towards her instead of asking her what went wrong was more than enough for Sherry to completely discard her feelings for this big monkey.

    Monkey! Sherry imagined his face in place of monkey and could not help but let out a small chuckle.

    ¡°Pfft..¡± Although the place where he was holding hurt, Sherry laughed staring back at him.

    ¡°So you are pretending to be strong and even laughing at me huh?¡± Chris was even angry when he saw her laughing. It felt to him that he was being mocked by her.

    Sherry had always been docile and obedient to him so he had never thought a day will come when Sherry will show him this insolence.

    ¡°I have always been strong.¡± Sherry replied her ace still snickering at him. ¡°I just have been blind and idiot for falling for a guy like you.¡±

    ¡°You¡­¡± Chris pulled her chin even more. If he exerted even more pressure, her jaw might even get dislocated.

    ¡°Mr. Chris, please behave yourself.¡± The old maid was frightened when she saw Chris acting violently towards Sherry.

    She did not care about the marriage or whatever they had before their marriage. If someone was trying to hurt the young miss, she was willing to stand up against them.

    Sherry saw the frightened expression on the old maid¡¯s face. The old maid was a heart patient. She already had experience more surprises than necessary for today. If this continued, Sherry knew it was going to be bad for her heart.

    Sherry raised her hand and grabbed the hand which was grabbing her chin.

    ¡°Let go of me.¡± Sherry used all her strength she could muster and threw off his dirty paw from her face. He was a strong man with big muscles so when she tried to pull him off, she had to use much more strength than she had expected.

    Chris was furious and was almost panting like an old man in his seventies after climbing a 100 steps in a staircase.

    ¡°You are courting death!!¡± Chris roared at her.

    ¡°We can talk like proper adults, Mr. Chris.¡± Sherry maintained her dress and looked at Chris who was even more infuriated by her words.

    First it was cancelling the wedding out of nowhere, then now this!! Sherry was really trying his patience today.

    ¡°Sherry, you are crossing your boundary. I am still your fianc¨¦.¡± Chris roared at her . He could not let Sherry go after all. Despite not liking Sherry, she was the foundation of all his plans.

    ¡°Heh¡­Fianc¨¦?¡± Sherry scoffed, the disdain she was showing was clear in her eyes. How could one be this shameless.

    ¡°You know what you did right?¡± Sherry was not going to play innocent anymore. She was tired and wanted to make things clear once and for all.

    ¡°What did I do now?¡± Chris barked at her again as if he was being falsely accused here by Sherry. Seeing him playing the victim made Sherry want to puke out her guts.

    ¡°You know it better than me.¡± Sherry averted her gaze and looked out of the window crossing her arms in front of her.

    You screwed my best friend behind my back! Is that what I am supposed to tell to you? Sherry was filled with heart crunching disgust.

    ¡°Wait, is it about Bella?¡± Chris was silent for a while before asking her with a doubting face. ¡°Is it?¡± He repeated the question once again.

    Two days ago when there was a short party at the house, Chris had helped Bella to sit in the couch in the presence of Sherry. Although that time she had said nothing, Chris figured Sherry was acting petty because of that incident.

    "....", Sherry just looked at him with blank expression.

    Sherry did not reply but the small change in her face was noticed by Chris.

    "I was just helping her as she is your best friend." Chris totally lied without even flinching his eyes.

    ¡°Even today just took your friend to hospital because it was an emergency.¡± Chris rubbed his fore head feeling his pulse increasing every second. This day had gone from being bad to worse and worse to worst.

    ¡°Are you acting like this because of that?¡± Chris felt it was because of that Sherry was acting like a jealous woman.

    ¡°¡­..¡±, Sherry did not even want to argue with this childish man who was changing facts one after the other.

    ¡°She is your friend Sherry, I am just helping her because her husband is not here!¡± Chris spoke as if it was the truth and Sherry was acting unreasonable.

    ¡°Chris¡­Just..How great do you think you are hmm?¡± Sherry looked at him stupefied at his arrogance. ¡°You know what? Just forget it¡± she did not want to continue this anymore.

    He made it look like Sherry was the bad guy who was uncaring of her friend and even a vinegar woman who broke off wedding just because of that.

    ¡°Leave my sight before I get angry.¡± Sherry placed her palm on her chest and gave him a push.

    ¡° Don¡¯t forget you are in my property and you are an outsider who is trespassing the boundary of Lona family.¡± Sherry turned back, completely cutting him off from her sight.

    ¡°Sherry..¡± Chris caught her by her hand trying to prevent her from leaving. With Bella admitted in the hospital and her life in danger due to her pregnancy and Sherry spoiling all his plans for him, Chris was already on verge of losing his sanity.

    Sherry was the last thread that he could never let go.

    ¡°Sherry..¡± There was dominance but a different type of pleading tone in his voice as he called her name. He hoped he could melt her heart once more with his soft attitude.

    Sherry stopped for a while, hesitating to walk from there.

    IS it working? Chris wondered when Sherry turned back but his hope soon shattered when Sherry spoke to him in cold voce.

    ¡°Chris, I will call the police if you keep this up..¡± Sherry shot him a piercing angry look.

 Chapter 15 - We Are Done!!

    ¡°Listen to me..Sherry!! Don¡¯t act like a high school teenage girl.¡± Chris¡¯s last thread that was holding back his sanity snapped when faced with the cold and apathetic face of Sherry. It was as if she had given up on him completely.

    ¡°Chris¡­I am tired. I want to rest.¡± Sherry pulled her hand back from his grasp. She had loved this man who was bright, responsible and honest for her whole life so when he acted this way, it just made her feel more miserable.

    He was slowly destroying the image she had of him in her mind. Sherry hoped they could break up in good terms so that Bella could be happy with him. They even had a kid who was growing healthily in Bella¡¯s stomach.

    As a doctor, Sherry herself was the one who had taken care of all her test and health care check up. So, in other way, she was like a nanny who took care of the baby before it was born.

    Just for the sake of the child in Bella¡¯s womb, Sherry wanted to let go of Chris. By humiliating him in public and making his image fall down, she was going to let him off the hook.

    ¡°Don¡¯t make it harder on me than it already is.¡± Sherry thought about all of their encounters in a brief second and felt it really was the time for her to say good bye to all of it.

    ¡°Sh¡­¡± Chris tried opening his mouth but looking at the defeated expression on her face he was short of words. Never in his life had he ever seen that look on her face; that face which looked as bright as sun in any kind of situation.

    Sherry¡¯s face had lost its luster as of now, which came off as a shock to Chris.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you have to take care of my best friend?¡± taking the chance Sherry decided to make him spill the truth. If he really loved Bella, she hoped he will accept it and end things with her for once and for all.

    All this time, little Sherry had been thinking she was killed off by them because she was a third wheel in their affair.

    But little did she know, the darkness behind the scene.

    ¡°Bella?¡± Chris figured out what she was trying to say. Finally, a cold air seeped in to his lungs as he thought about the scenario where Sherry knew all about their affair all this time.

    If that was the case then all the act he put just now, all his hard earned excuses and even his pity act were all seen through by Sherry.

    Which meant..

    ¡®All this time, was I making a fool out of myself? And she was enjoying the show?¡¯ Chris stared at Sherry even more hatefully.

    ¡°I know all about it , Chris. You and Bella. I know all about it.¡± Sherry sighed and said the truth all by herself since it seemed to her he was not trying to speak the truth.

    ¡°I-We¡­WE are not dating¡­What are you saying?¡± Chris stuttered a little bit as he looked at Sherry¡¯s calm face.

    She was looking unusually calm for saying such a big news. The old maid who was standing beside her heard what Sherry had just told.

    She widened her eyes showcasing her bewilderment and how unbelievable it was.

    ¡°Mister Chris and the friend of young miss??¡± She repeated the name and looked at Sherry.

    ¡°Miss, Young miss¡­what do you mean by that?¡± The old maid asked with a horrified expression but she already understood what was going on.

    ¡°Aigoo¡­Young miss¡­¡± Her heart stopped beating for a few seconds and she could feel herself getting weak. The news was too big for her old heart.

    ¡°Aunty, please go to your room and take a rest. I will come and see you later.¡± Sherry went and rubbed her back to soothe her and softly asked her to leave them alone.

    What she was about to say next was even a bigger news so she hoped she could be alone with Chris. She did not want her to listen to it.

    ¡°Bella and we are just¡­.¡± Chris was still trying to defend himself to Sherry who was watching the old maid walk away from the room.

    ¡°Stop Chris..You are making me disappointed.¡± Sherry stopped him in middle of his sentence. She walked near him and approached him in a few steps.

    She brought her lips near to his ear and spoke in a soft voice.

    ¡°I also know that the baby in Bella¡¯s stomach was yours.¡± Sherry whispered coming near to him.

    ¡°What? W-What are y-you s-say-ing? Ha ha ha¡­ Y-you a-are mad Sh-herry.¡± Chris was stuttering much faster than before probably because he was caught off guard by her.

    ¡°I am the doctor who took care of her. I looked after her for 8 months Chris.. Don¡¯t you think with my ability I am more than capable of knowing it?¡± Sherry smiled bitterly at him.

    Although she wished to grab his collar and shake him till his brain membrane mixed to form a mixture, she calmed herself.

    She wanted to cry and shout at him saying she knew it all, she saw it all; him cheating on her and how she was reborn to make life hell for them.

    But she stopped herself from doing so. She was given a second chance and she knew it was to learn the truth about how sickly and hypocritical the people around her were.

    ¡°¡­.¡±, Chris had no place to defend himself as she placed all of the facts right before him. If she was just speculating then he could have denied them but it was truth that Sherry was the one who took care of Bella all this time during her pregnancy.

    ¡°Face it Chris, You and I , we are done.¡± Sherry patted his chest heavily, her face scrunched up in an ugly sneer.

    ¡°You are a fucking piece of shit for me¡­.So I am giving you to Bella. That will be her punishment for betraying my trust.¡± Sherry shrugged her shoulder.

    ¡°So, do not ever come to me and give my blessings to Bella as well.¡± Sherry removed her hand from his chest.

    ¡°And I hope you two live happily ever after in your small lovey dovey world.¡± She clasped her hand in front of head and showed him a praying gesture.

    ¡®Can¡¯t let her go!¡¯ A dark figure raced in his mind and he immediately cowered in fear as he remembered what he had been said.

    ¡°Ring Ring Ring!!¡± His phone rang in his pocket making him spring up from where he was standing. He felt as if he was woken up from his night mare by the phone ring.

    With trembling hands, he took out his phone and looked at the caller ID.

    It was from the hospital where Bella was currently admitted.

 Chapter 16 - Tears Of Boredom

    Chris hurried to pick up the phone and listened to the other side speak without making any facial expression.

    ¡°Are you the guardian of the patient named Bella in room no 23?¡± A male voice spoke from other side of the phone and asked Chris, his voice somewhat calm but Chris knew what it meant when a doctor became calm and silent.

    ¡°Yes, I am.¡± Chris turned his face away from Sherry and spoke in a low whisper. He was still worried about Sherry suspecting things between them.

    ¡°¡­..¡±, You won¡¯t still change fir better, will you? Sherry looked at his actions and shook her head as she thought how laughable his actions were.

    Nevertheless, she waited for him to continue speaking in whispers. She too wanted to know about the condition of Bella and her aunt and uncle who had gone to the hospital along with her as if their own daughter was sick.

    ¡°Might as well take a seat.¡± Sherry made herself comfortable on the nearest couch whole rubbing her hand where Chris had caught. It had a light scar on the place where he had caught her before.

    ¡®A brute! Shameless!¡¯ Sherry cursed in her heart. Her hazel eyes that were looking at her hand shifted from it to the crouched down back of Chris.

    ¡°Please be calm when you listen this..¡± The doctor had a little bit of hesitation in his voice. Chris was still facing away from Sherry so he had little idea about the meaningful gaze she was giving him.

    ¡°Hurry it up..I have something really important to attend to.¡± Chris was getting impatient at this point. He was worried about Bella, there was no doubt about this but he was much more worried about fixing things with the na?ve Sherry.

    He had a feeling that with a little bit of more persuasion and a little bit of sweet talking, she would once again be head over heels for him.

    Then they could continue their marriage after that and he could resume his plans even though that might take a long time.

    Only if Sherry knew what kind of thoughts Chris was having in his mind, she would have kicked him from where she was seated, at the private place where it was going to hurt the most. And if he became impotent or something like that because of her¡­Pfft..She would have thrown a celebration for it.

    The doctor was taken aback by quite a bit when he heard the man being rude.

    ¡°Miss Bella is in a critical condition at this moment.¡± The doctor informed Chris.

    ¡®Of course I know it damn it!! That¡¯s why I took her to hospital without even bothering to confront this dumb Sherry!¡¯ Chris cursed inwardly at the insensitive doctor who was only taking up his time.

    ¡°Oh¡­.There is a fat man and a skinny woman there with her, right? You can ask them for anything.¡± Chris answered irritably while gritting his teeth in an attempt to calm himself down.

    ¡°I am really busy now.¡± Chris was implying he was going to cut off the phone call.

    ¡°About that Mister, the couple who were beside her left just a moment ago.¡± The doctor was also starting to get impatient with Chris.

    ¡°Wait what¡­¡± Chris yelled at the phone when he heard the last statement of the doctor but was interrupted by the calm voice of the doctor. He stopped midway when he was about to touch on the red end the call button on his phone.

    ¡°Since both of us are busy, let me get this straight. Miss Bella just had¡­..¡± The doctor gave the shocking news to Chris who had not expected any thing of that magnitude.

    Sherry was also startled by the sudden outlet of Chris and realized something great must have had happened.

    When the three people had carried the seemingly pale and almost unconscious Bella out of her room, as a doctor she knew there was something wrong regarding her pregnancy.

    Although she was a doctor, she did not have much expertise in the field of gynecology and such, but still if she had taken a look at Bella, she might would have realized the problem but well¡­

    She just did not care much about it as she thought about the indulgence last afternoon they had which was a little too much for someone who was almost 9 months pregnant.

    Sherry let out another bored out yawn, the corner of her eyes were wet with tears of boredom. She really wanted to get back to her bed and sleep after settling things with Chris so that he won¡¯t come bugging her some other time in future.

    Fixing things right now was the only option for her!

    But looking at how Chris was reacting all of sudden, Sherry realized that something ,much serious had happened which also meant she had to wait until things settled down on his side.

    OOff¡­.Sherry could only let out a depressed sigh.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Sherry stood up from her seat and walked towards Chris swiftly. Placing her hands on top of his shoulder, she asked with a concerned face.

    ¡°Get you hand off¡­.¡± of me..was what Chris about to shout when he felt her hands on his shoulder but quickly changed his tone. The presence of Sherry made him snap back to reality and also get back the composure he had lost.

    ¡°Sherry¡­¡± His voice trailed off as he looked in to her eyes which were a little wet. He mistook her tear of boredom as tear of pain upon seeing him all riled up.

    Seeing her concerned face, he came to realization that Sherry was still the old kind and compassionate girl despite the change she had shown.

    ¡°Your best friend¡­She¡­¡± Chris tried to create a face that was in a great deal of shock but not too much so as not to seem obvious and spoke with a stuttering sound.

    ¡°Something really bad happened to Bella..¡± Chris sighed looking at Sherry who also had the *I am so worried and nervous* expression clearly in her face.

    ¡®It¡¯s working!¡¯ Chris commented inwardly as he used the news of Bella to turn the things around for himself.

    As long as he could garner the sympathy and forgiveness points from Sherry, he was sure things will look brighter for him and Bella in future.

    As for Bella¡¯s condition now¡­.He could just turn blind eye to it and wait until he settled the mess that had appeared because of Sherry¡¯s sudden change.

    ¡®Just wait for me Bella honey, I will make sure to get back at this dumb girl for your loss.¡¯ Chris was determined in his heart as he waited for Sherry to break down in tears and beg him to take her to see her best friend who was currently in the hospital.

    ~Author''s note: I am back after my long absence due to personal reason! Thank you to all for reading and yes! Wait for our Sherry to create Chaos in their life pfftt...~

 Chapter 17 - A Lady For Marriage

    ¡°Why are you standing there like some mannequin?¡± Levian raised his head and looked at Roy, his secretary who was standing in the same position and same expression for around twenty minutes.

    ¡°Boss, you are working so I did not want to disturb you,¡± Roy answered with in a few seconds. With a flick of his index finger he lifted the glass on his nose and looked at Levian who was observing him for quite a while.

    ¡°After all, I am a mere secretary. I can wait.¡± He flashed a look at Levian.

    Levian¡¯s brow twitched when he heard Roy¡¯s answer which forced him to stop whatever he was doing. He placed down his pen and took a break for a while to hear whet Roy had to say to him.

    Seeing that Levian had finally put down his pen and had stopped working, Roy brought out a file to him.

    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Roy asked as he took the file and started t go through it. As soon as he opened the file, a smiling lady in beautiful red dress came in to his sight.

    ¡°What is this?¡± Levian immediately got angry when he saw this. Behind the photo there were few others photo that were filled with equally beautiful and elegant looking ladies.

    He recognized some of the ladies who were from some really prominent and big families. He had seen then when he had attended a few of the business parties.

    ¡°Did you come to disturb me¡­. for this?¡± Levian had thought he must have had a good reason for coming in to his office but it was all just few photos of girls.

    He threw the file directly in the dustbin that was on the table beside him and stared at Roy to give him explanation .

    Roy watched him throw the file but did not give any reaction. After his boss had calmed down a little bit, he decided to spill the beans.

    ¡°The chairman heard that you went to a wedding today.¡± Roy informed Levian who upon hearing this suddenly realized what was going on. More or less, he could get the gist of it.

    ¡°That old man did?¡± Levian asked, trying to confirm.

    ¡°Yes Sir.¡± Roy nodded his head and continued.

    ¡°His personal butler came in person to deliver these files to me and said I had to deliver it to you as soon as possible.¡±

    ¡°Mr. Sam came himself?¡± Levian was even more surprised. Sam Brown was his grand father¡¯s oldest and the most trusted subordinate. The fact that Mr. Sam himself had to approach them meant one thing and only one thing.

    The matter was really important.

    ¡°Then these photos of young ladies..¡± Levian raised his eye brows in a questioning look.

    ¡°Boss, these came in recently. The chairman wants you to choose any one of the girl and go on a blind date.¡± Roy did not know where the courage came to him but he hi self was surprised when he spurted out the taboo word to his boss.

    His boss, Levian Smith was a mysophobic person who hated things like romance, dates and marriages.

    ¡°Good..Good very good.¡± Levian had expected this t happen sooner or later but little did he think that it will be today when he will be getting this.

    He let out a small chuckle when he thought about how his good day got ruined by some photos.

    ¡°So, boss are you choosing anyone? I need to inform Mr. Sam.¡± Roy asked unaware of his Boss¡¯s current psychological and emotional state.

    ¡°Of course¡­.¡± Levian stood up from his seat and went towards Roy making him flinch.

    ¡°Of course, I am not going to go on these silly dates.¡± Levian patted him on his shoulder and let out a sigh.

    ¡°I do not want unnecessary problems.¡± Levian spoke in a dangerous tone sending shivers down the spine of Roy. ¡°Tell him that I do not plan to go on dates and get married yet.¡±

    ¡°But boss¡­¡± Roy had to inform back to the chairman, the old master after all.

    ¡°Fine..I will call him myself.¡± Levian looked at the pale face of Roy. He knew if h did not end this matter now, his grand father will continue ending in photos of the girls until he gave in.

    But he did not have any plans to get married. He knew marriage was only going to hold him down from his dreams and goals.

    He had seen people ruining themselves due to marriage and this addiction called romance.

    As for woman, they were emotional creatures that could do anything and by anything he did not even want to get on that topic.

    That was why he remained off of the case of anything related to woman and that included dating and marriage.

    ¡°But, who the hell told him about me going off to a wedding?¡± Levian wondered aloud while shifting his gaze to Roy who once again flinched at his gaze.

    ¡°I..I- cerat-tain-nly did not..haha¡­¡± Roy took three steps back and maintained a safe distance between them. How could he tell him that his grand father had been keeping tabs on his action especially if they involved any woman.

    ¡®There is no way I can tell him that, can I?¡¯ Roy grimaced inwardly as he looked at the dark expression on Levian¡¯s face.

    ¡®Ahahaha¡­I just dug my own grave didn¡¯t I?¡¯ Roy chuckled inside his heart.

    ¡°¡­..¡±, Levian was speechless at Roy. He was totally sold by his own secretary to his grand father.

    But what done was done and there was no use crying over spilled milk. Levian took out his phone and scrolled down the contacts.

    Well, there were only few contacts in there considering he did not have many friends and relatives. The people he was close with could be counted in his hands.

    ~~The Family house of the Smith Family~~

    An old man was in his study room looking through a file while taking sip of herbal tea. Taking in to the facts that he had almost white hair which only covered a little portion of his bald head, his wrinkle skin and also his weak body, he looked quite old.

    Just as he was about to turn the pages, the door to the room opened with a creaking sound and a man dressed smartly in an attire of a butler walked in.

    ¡°Master, I have arrived.¡± The man gave a slight bow and stood in an attentive position right beside the old master.

    ¡°Ohh¡­you are here?¡± The old man on the chair looked up at the butler through his spectacles.

    ¡°So, how did it go?¡± Trying to hide his anxiousness, Levian¡¯s grand father asked Sam.

    ¡°I have handed the materials to him like you have asked of me.¡± He replied with a calm tone that came with his decades of working .

    ¡°Good..good..¡± Levian¡¯s grandfather looked somewhat relieve when he heard that. Sam caught his expression and he could not hold in his curiosity anymore.

    ¡°Master, I have a question I want to ask, if you may.¡± Sam stepped forward and asked politely.

    Levian¡¯s grand father nodded his head and asked him to go on with his question.

    ¡°Master, was it something really that important?¡± Sam asked with out any reserve. He just followed his order and sent the file to the young master while he himself had not a single idea what it could be.

    Levian¡¯s grandfather was silent for a while making Sam a little bit nervous.

    ¡°That boy went to attend a wedding for the first time ever.¡± He started his explanation but he ended it right there and instead asked him a question.

    ¡°Do you know what that means?¡± He placed forward his question.

    ¡°Err¡­I am sorry master. I am really clueless on this matter.¡± The butler answered in all honesty.

    ¡°Sheesh¡­It means he had finally realized the importance of marriage.¡± The old man gave a ¡®Are you a dumb guy?¡¯ look to Sam.

    Sam, ¡°¡­¡± That¡¯s what you think and only you!! Sam yelled inwardly but maintained a clam face.

    ¡°Then master¡­Ahemm¡­the file¡­what was it about?¡± Sam let out cough and asked trying to stay in track of the conversation.

    ¡°Ohh..It was just a file containing data on my potential future daughter in laws..¡± The old man gave out a jolly laughter as if the marriage was already about to happen.

 Chapter 18 - Please Call Dr. Sherry!

    ¡°Doctor! The patient is still unconscious.¡± An old and elderly nurse approached the doctor carrying a file on her hand. She seemed somewhat nervous and anxious.

    ¡°Mrs. Tannu..¡± The doctor turned around and came face to face with her. He had been standing on the balcony all this time looking at the open and empty blue sky.

    The old nurse opened her mouth to say something but see closed her mouth once again.

    Seeing that he was holding phone, she realized he must have been in an important call.

    ¡°Oh..You were in the phone.. I am sorry for disturbing you..¡± she hurriedly apologized.

    The doctor shifted his gaze from the nurse to the phone on his hand and let out a sigh. ¡°It¡¯s alright..sigh¡­Please don¡¯t be sorry fr such simple things.¡± He smiled a wary smile.

    ¡°Is everything alright, doctor?¡± Mrs. Tannu asked with a concerned face.

    ¡°Nah, it¡¯s alright¡­I am just surprised at how shameless and rude someone can be.¡± Thinking about how the man called Chris or Tris talked with him and even cut off the phone without even trying to listen to the entire condition just made him too disappointed.

    ¡°So, the patient you were talking about¡­Is that miss Bella Cath?¡± Taking the file in his hand he asked while turning through the pages.

    ¡°Yes..¡± Mrs. Tannu replied with a nod f her.

    ¡°And she was also a patient of the hospital before right?¡± He asked but he himself confirmed the fact by seeing the previous records of her ultrasound and other check up details.

    ¡°Yes, doctor she was.¡± The nurse nodded once again.

    ¡°She¡­She has lost way too much blood due to the miscarriage.¡± Mrs. Tannu sighed making a clearly depressed and unhappy sound.

    As a woman, she could understand how much a kid meant to any female, to any mother. The fact that Bella was a new mother made things more sad in her favor.

    ¡®Poor girl, she lost her first child¡­May god heal her.¡¯ Mrs. Tannu prayed silently to the god that if he did exist to take care of the child¡¯s soul and of the sad mother.

    The doctor noticed that nurse was a little down about this miscarriage case and asked her if she knew the patient personally.

    ¡°Ohh¡­Yes..I am the one who accompanied her doctor whenever she came for her monthly pregnancy check up.¡± The old nurse answered with a pitiful smile.

    ¡°Ohh¡­.¡± The doctor replied.

    ¡°She was such a nice child.¡± The nurse added with a sigh thinking about the young girl that was always smiling happily with both her and the doctor when ever she came for check up.

    The doctor had no any comment to make on that matter and simply turned through the pages when he suddenly stopped on one of the pages.

    ¡°This¡­.¡± He traced his fingers to the name on the last paper of the report and exclaimed with surprise.

    ¡°Why is her personal doctor Miss Sherry?¡± The doctor showed the name to the nurse while he widened his eyes in surprise.

    Sherry Lona was a doctor of the surgical department and not from this! She was the youngest head neurosurgeon anyone had seen in this hospital. So, she was a famous person that even he knew.

    ¡°Ohh that¡­It¡¯s a long story.¡± Mrs. Tannu looked at the name and replied to the doctor.

    The doctor looked at the watch and looked inside the room from the balcony. There was no much time they could spare as Bella¡¯s condition was really severe.

    They were able to successfully able to take out the baby through a really critical surgery but her life was in danger now due to excessive blood loss.

    That was why he had asked for her guardian to come over and also asked the head nurse to bring him her test reports.

    It turned out, she was a regular patient here allowing him to look further at her reports from before and¡­.Well, he knew he had to call her doctor since it was her patient.

    The elderly doctor turned to face Mrs. Tannu and spoke, ¡°Well, Mrs. Tannu, I guess you should make the story short.¡±

    ¡°About that, the young girl there and doctor Sherry are really close in real life.¡± Mrs. Tannu paused for a while as she tried to think about the relation between them and explain it to the old doctor in shortest way possible.

    ¡°Although Doctor Sherry isn¡¯t a gyno doctor, she decided to be the personal doctor of Ms. Bella. That¡¯s pretty much everything.¡±

    ¡°So, because of their friendship, a neurosurgeon took up the task of being a personal doctor for pregnant woman?¡± He summarized the whole thing in one sentence but the way he said that sounded as if he was mocking the whole thing.

    Well, he was little bit mad about the fact that a doctor whose specialty was something else, doing things out of her expertise.

    Mrs. Tannu was kind of lost for words when she heard the sarcastic tone of the doctor.

    ¡°Ahh¡­well¡­.Doctor Sherry said it was the first child of her best friend so she wanted to be the one who took care of both of them throughout the pregnancy.¡± Mrs. Tannu spoke in the defense of doctor Sherry.

    ¡°Humph¡­That still doesn¡¯t justify her practices.¡± The elderly doctor felt it was irresponsible of the doctor to give in to her emotional feeling and all this mess.

    ¡°And she did get help from the senior doctors about everything¡­Even I accompanied her all the time. I was spectikle about her at the first time as well but she never failed to amaze me¡­She is as good as any newbie doctor.¡± Mrs. Tannu was a little fired up and said whatever she wanted to the old doctor.

    ¡°Errr.. I mean I am sorry, doctor¡­.¡± Realizing that she had spoken in a rude tone, she apologized but she did not regret it.

    Doctor Sherry had done her best and as someone who had accompanied her all the time, she knew that she did not deserve the criticism for all this.

    ¡°Oh, really? Then where is doctor Sherry when her patient is in this condition?¡± The elderly doctor, Mr. Thomas was his name, asked in a sharp tone.

    ¡°That¡­she is getting married today doctor¡­¡± Mrs. Tannu answered immediately. ¡°She had informed the hospital and cleared off her schedules just for today.¡± She also added this right after.

    ¡°Ohh¡­so she is getting married and enjoying when her friend and patient is in this condition?¡± Doctor Thomas founded another point to criticize.

    ¡°Doctor!! Please do not talk about her like that!¡± Mrs. Tannu yelled in a loud voice.

    With a low gasp, she covered her mouth with her palm and looked at Dr. Thomas who was staring at her in surprise and at the other nurses and intern doctors who were inside the hospital room running few tests.

    Even she herself was surprised upon realizing her abrupt outburst.

    ¡°Nah, its fine¡­Mrs. Tannu, I was a little excessive when I said that..¡± He snapped out of his anger and irritation that had collected inside him due to the call with Chris and apologized to her for his rude words.

    ¡°But marriage or not, Mrs. Tannu. Please call Doctor Sherry to hospital for emergency case immediately.¡± Mr. Thomas requested in a serious tone, his vision shifting from Mrs. Tannu to the patient who was on the bed.

    ~Author''s Note: Thank you for all your gems and I will really love it if i can get more of your support in future too!~

 Chapter 19 - I Will Get Going Sweetie!

    ¡°Sherry, where are you going?¡± Chris shouted at Sherry from where he was standing as he watched her walk towards her room on the second floor.

    Sherry ignored him and quickly made her way to her room to get changed. She was clutching her hand phone in her hand while looking extremely anxious and tensed.

    ¡°You¡­You heartless woman!! Don¡¯t you want to meet your best friend? She is suffering right now!¡± Chris tried to emotionally blackmail her.

    Sherry stopped at his last statement making Chris almost jump up and down in sense of victory.

    ¡°You know what Chris¡­¡± Sherry looked down at him from the top of her staircase and gave an exhausted look to Chris.

    ¡°Bella needs you by her side more than she needs me at this moment! It was never me she needed and I will never be the one she will need.¡± Sherry was a little bit hurt when she spoke but she regained herself back, turned around with out even bothering to listen to him and entered her room.

    She rushed inside her wardrobe and pulled out the most comfortable dress she could fine, a pair of t-shirt and black pants.

    She stood in front of her mirror and looked at her reflection where she saw a woman who was supposed to be having the best day of her life.

    The woman who was supposed to be marrying the love of her life.

    The woman who was supposed to be pampered and spoilt rotten by her husband, family and friends.

    But there she stood in her wedding dress alone, an abandoned wife who was cheated on by her fianc¨¦e with her best friend and shooed away by her own family.

    ¡°Ironic..¡± Sherry turned away and ripped off the dress from her body. Even the fabrics of her dress made her body itchy all over like as if she had some kind of allergy.

    She took a hair band form the table and tied up her loosely curled up hair in to a ponytail. Using a tissue paper, she wiped away all the makeup without even leaving behind a trace of the make up products.

    She picked up the dress she had placed on the top of her bed and put it on easily. She slipped into the t-shirt that was made up of cotton and put on a cotton pant as well.

    She turned to look once again at the full body mirror in which her real self, the playful and bright Sherry was reflected.

    She raised both of her arms and slapped her face from both side.

    SMACK!!

    The crisp sound made it seem more hurtful than it was in reality.

    ¡°You can¡¯t get stuck in the past and mop around like a fool. Get going already. Your patient is waiting for you.¡± Sherry shoot herself a few hearts and smiled like a dork.

    ¡°Much better!¡±

    Sherry took a deep breath and took out her bag that contained her working materials which he always carried around.

    She had just got a call from the hospital where she worked in only to find that¡¯s one of her patient was in critical condition. Neither the doctor who called her nor she had the time and luxury to exchange the details of patient over the phone.

    ¡®Whoever it is, please be alright.¡¯ Sherry prayed inside her heart while she made her way out of the door.

    She locked the door right behind her and walked outside of the door as fast as she could to only stumble upon Chris who was waiting for her impatiently.

    ¡°Sherry¡­¡± His expression brightened when he saw Sherry reappear from her room but soon it changed in to a frown.

    ¡°Why are you dressed like that? Who are you going to meet at this time?¡± He suddenly got angry when he saw her dressed like a young girl.

    He was angrier at the fact that she had taken off her wedding dress that he had painstakingly chosen for her yesterday.

    ¡°I am going to hospital.¡± Sherry did not feel the need to justify herself further except telling him where she was going.

    ¡°What hospital? Who are you going to meet?¡± Chris was dubious of her again and he could not help but question her.

    ¡°¡­¡­.¡±, Sherry did not know if Chris was plainly stupid or intentionally making things hard for her!

    ¡°Chris, I work in a hospital, remember?¡± She sighed as she took out the keys of her car from the tray on the living room. ¡°I am a doctor!! Of course I will go to hospital to meet my patients.¡± Sherry wore a simple sandal from there.

    ¡°Ahh..right¡­The XXX hospital on the mid street right?¡± Chris spoke some random location of a hospital where he thought Sherry might be working.

    ¡°I work in the Capital Hospital! Chris, Don¡¯t tell me you did not even care a damn about what I did in these two years when we dated??¡± Sherry yelled out a question at him.

    Seeing that Chris was peaking nothing and even remained silent, Sherry lost even the last bit of respect that she might have kept on him.

    ¡°Fuck off Chris! I fucking do not want to see your shitty face right now!¡± Sherry clasped her key and walked towards the garage, her eyes stared at Chris as if she was about devour him completely.

    ¡°And if you do not know, let me tell this to you as well¡­¡± Sherry paused and looked behind her.

    ¡°I am a neurosurgeon, the youngest and the most successful out there.¡± She spoke with a smirk.

    ¡°Why are you saying this to me?¡± Chris looked at her and asked.

    ¡°You know, I am wondering if should conduct a full brain test for my brain which fell for a piece of shit like you.¡± Sherry rolled her eyes at him and slammed the door right on his face.

    Chris only regained back his consciousness when he heard the car start in the garage and rushed out to stop her. He had to take her to Bella anyway and also make her get back with him no matter what.

    ¡°Sherry stop..¡± He was about to chase after her when suddenly something hit him on the knee.

    ¡°Arghh¡­¡± His yelp of pain echoed in the empty living room as he tumbled down like an old vase. He wrinkled his brows in pain and gasped out few heavy breathes.

    He noticed a small spherical stone at the place where he was hurt making him realize that somebody had hit him there. He crawled to where the stone was and picked it up.

    He clutched it tightly on his palm and stood up from where he had fallen down heaving a painful grunt.

    ¡°Who threw this?¡± He shouted and looked around as he rubbed the sore spot on his leg. ¡°I said, show yourself.¡± He was angry and cursed out one or two words at whoever threw it at him.

    He looked out of the window and saw the car that Sherry usually drove was already out of the villa gate.

    ¡°No¡­¡± He let out a cry of shock and anger. He threw the stone out of the window as he fumed in anger.

    ¡°Damn it!!¡± He cursed as he limped out of the house while catching on to his leg. With one hand clasping the phone and the other catching his leg, he looked like a beggar out for begging.

    The old maid of the house who was hiding behind the door of the living room watched the receding back of Chris and closed her eyes.

    ¡°Young Miss, I do not know what has happened and what will happen in this house from now on! But whatever you do, please do not get hurt ever again.¡± The old maid clutched her chest tightly afraid she might lose her breathe if she let go of it.

    ¡°Delaying him is the only thing I can do for you little missy, so please always be happy for the sake of this old aunty you might never see.¡±

    The old maid had crawled her way to the living room just in time to see Sherry leaving the hateful man for good. She knew her body much better than anyone else so she wanted to see sherry one last time before she¡­

    Afraid he might pester her once more, she hit him on his leg to making him fall down and delay his advances towards her.

    ¡°I will always watch over you my dear little girl.. Forgive this old lady for leaving you alone.¡± Her breath got harsher until she could not support her body much longer.

    She fell down on the floor right where she was standing and curled up in a ball.

    ¡°I will be joining your mom and dad in heaven. See you, sweetie.¡± The light in her eyes slowly faded away .

    The old lady closed her eyes while her lips stretched out in a smile as if she was finally going on a journey after grinding non stop of thousands and hundreds of years.

    ~~Thank you for reading!~~

 Chapter 20 - Plan B To Get The Girl!

    Chris dragged his body towards the gate of the villa, unaware of what had happened inside the home after he had left.

    ¡°You fucking bitch!¡± He cursed with all his might and reached the white iron gate of the villa. He had to get to the hospital where Sherry was at the very cost of anything.

    Coincidentally, Bella was also admitted in to the same hospital. Now, he only needed to get to the hospital and he could meet both Bella and Chris did not know what to think about this coincidence.

    ¡°This is no doubt the sign from heaven to me!¡± He smiled sheepishly as he looked at empty road.

    ¡°But how am I supposed to go to the hospital?¡± He looked a little lost around the compound of the whole villa. He had not brought his car today as he had arrived here after being picked up by the Old master of the villa.

    It had been a great entry today when he entered the villa, dressed up like a young master in an expensive car.

    ¡°How am I supposed to hitch a ride anyway?¡± Chris looked around the empty streets and spoke out a few curses among which most were directed towards mainly Sherry.

    Just as he was pondering on what to do, a glistening car plate in the corner of the street near to the villa caught his eyes. It had come around the time when he had arrived in the villa entrance.

    Since it was an expensive car, he had thought it might just pass by him but contrary to his expectation, the car had been there for around 5 minutes.

    He looked at the watch in his hands. It was around near 4 pm in the evening. If a car was out in at this time in the evening meant only one thing, either the owner was out to party or had just returned from work.

    Looking at how luxurious and expensive the car looked, he guessed it must belong to some snob young master.

    ¡°Hah, how fast the day had gone..¡± Chris sighed and started walking towards the car. He maintained his posture, his dress and even his hair to make himself look more presentable.

    He tried to look as good as possible in every way so as to match the standard of the rich person inside.

    He went up to the driver¡¯s window and gave a light knock on the window pane.

    The window pane rolled down as soon as he knocked as if it was waiting for him to knock on it. Even Chris himself was startled at the immediate response of the person from inside the car.

    But he did not think much about it and placed it aside as just a fast response of the people who were inside.

    ¡°How may I help you sir?¡± Roy poked out his head from inside the window and asked Chris in a polite manner. He was all smiles as he confronted Chris.

    Chris was a little dumbfounded with the greeting he got and stared at Roy¡¯s face.

    ¡®Why is he staring at me like that? Am I pretty or what?¡¯ Roy momentarily had a weird thought in his mind when he swiftly swatted it away, almost shuddering.

    ¡®What am I even thinking?? Stupid!¡¯ He reprimanded himself for almost straying away from the right path and blamed all of it on Levian Smith, his boss who suddenly came with a plan to save himself from his grandfather¡¯s scheme to go on an arranged date.

    And to do that, his first step was to get the girl, aka Sherry to meet him in the best way possible which looked 100% normal and not something that could get him caught.

    So, here they were, in front of the villa of Lona family¡¯s main house and waiting like thief for the woman to appear.

    ~~A few moments earlier~~

    ¡°Boss, isn¡¯t that Miss Sherry who is driving away in that car?¡± Roy had asked when a black car passed right by them from the opposite direction.

    Levian who was sitting behind him looked out of the window just on time to see the side profile of Sherry before she disappeared from his sight.

    He looked at the car plate and read the number which immediately brought a smile to his face. ¡°It¡¯s the little pervert from that day, there is no doubt about it!¡± He placed his right leg above the other and leaned back in his seat, slightly chuckling.

    ¡°Pervert?¡± Roy thought he was mishearing things.

    ¡®Did he call the little missy a pervert?¡¯ He was surprised when he heard what he just heard but he was also curious about it.

    ¡°Haha, you won¡¯t get it.¡± Levian answered him with a chuckle.

    ¡°Sir, should we turn around and follow her to where she is going?¡± Roy suggested Levian as he prepared to make a turn right there.

    ¡°Wait!¡± Levian¡¯s husky voice resounded inside the car when he saw a figure approaching on the gate of the Villa.

    He squinted his eyes and looked carefully as he tried to see who the person was.

    ¡®Oho, so the shameless guy is still here¡­.¡¯ Levian smiled sideways when he recognized Chris.

    ¡°Park the car somewhere over there. Somewhere, where we can be seen easily.¡± Levian gestured towards an open space in front of the villa.

    ¡°But why?¡± Roy questioned him in surprise. ¡°Aren¡¯t we supposed to be following her?¡± Roy thought if they were going to pursue her, then this was the right time when she was alone.

    ¡°Pursuing her directly was the plan A.¡± Levian gave a smug smile.

    ¡°isn¡¯t that the only plan we have? Shouldn¡¯t we be following it then?¡± Roy grimaced at his boss who was twisting his words making a simple person such as Roy to get confused over what the hell he was planning to say.

    ¡°Nope, we are going with plan B.¡±

    ¡°We have a plan B?¡± Roy was surprised. ¡°When did that happen?

    ¡°Right now.¡± Levian answered without much effort. ¡°So, just do as I say.¡± He asked Roy to park the car where he had pointed out once again.

    ¡°Well, you are the boss!¡± Surrendering, Roy went and parked the car where Levian had pointed out.

    ¡°In a few minutes, someone will come and knock on the door,¡± Levian spoke in a low voice as he glanced at Roy.

    ¡°So, when he come, make sure you are as approachable as possible. Got it! Treat him like he is the MVP Of the day.¡± Levian chuckled a little as he thought of a really nice plan.

    ¡°Err..Okay I guess.¡± Roy hesitatingly agreed to Levian.

    Roy did not know why his boss suddenly asked him to play a nice guy but he got his answer soon enough.

    Roy¡¯s soul that had just time travelled to past came back to him to the present. He looked at Chris who was right outside the window.

    ¡°May I help you sir?¡± He asked politely, exactly like how he was ordered by Levian.

    ¡°Yes, Can I get a ride to the capital hospital, if you are not busy?¡± Chris asked while fiddling nervously with his fingers.

    He had way too many trouble right now so he hoped he could at least get a ride to the hospital. Getting Sherry back was the main agenda on his priority list right now.

    ¡°Sure, we are going there too. You can hope in.¡± Levian finally spoke from behind the driver¡¯s seat. Chris could not see his face but he knew the main boss was the one who just spoke.

    ¡°Thank you very much.¡± Chris thanked him and he jumped right inside the car and sat beside the driver.

    ¡°¡­..¡±, That was a little too fast. Roy looked at his side where Chris sat smiling like an idiot. It was one of the best things that had happened to him on this fucking shitty day.

    ¡°My day has been the worst day ever today.¡± Chris started speaking while he strained his neck to look at the front mirror to see who the boss was but he could not see him.

    ¡°Oh, really?¡± Levian nonchalantly replied to him.

    ¡°Yes, but what you did just made my day better.¡± Chris added with a sigh.

    Roy who was silently hearing the conversation shook his head silently at Chris as he buried him in his grave inside his thought.

    ¡®Your day didn¡¯t get better poor boy, you just jumped right in to the demon¡¯s trap..¡¯ Roy sighed as he started driving towards the capital hospital at full speed.

 Chapter 21 - My Patient?!

    With an ear splitting screech, Sherry parked her car inside the underground parking lot of the Capital hospital.

    She stopped the car engine and soon, it stopped vibrating. Sherry looked at her watch and saw that it only took her around 7 minutes to reach the hospital.

    ¡®I am a terrific driver, pheww..¡¯ She let out a sigh and walked out of the car holding her bag securely.

    She rushed straight out of the parking lot and waited for the elevator at the bottom floor.

    Feeling a bit impatient, she knocked on the floor with her feet. Her sandal produced a rhythmic sound on the floor which clearly showed her irritation.

    ¡®Is the elevator stuck somewhere? Why isn¡¯t it moving?¡¯ She refrained herself from rolling her eyes.

    ¡°Damn it!¡± She gritted her teeth and went straight towards the staircase when her patience reached its limit.

    ¡°Hello Dr.Sherry.¡± The janitor lady who was moping the marble floor bowed down to her and greeted her. ¡°Good evening!¡±

    ¡°Hello madam Sidney.¡± Sherry paused for a while to greet her back and started off on her destination to the fifth floor.

    ¡°She seems to be in quite a hurry..Hahahah..¡± The janitor lady let out a laugh and looked at the back of Sherry.

    ¡°Such energy..good to be young.¡± She commented with an amused smile on her face and after she lost the sight of Sherry she continued doing her own work of moping the marble floor clean.

    ¡°Good to see you Dr. Sherry!¡± One of the student who was doing intern in the hospital saw Sherry coming up from the stairs and stopped to greet her with a smile.

    ¡°Hi, leaving already?¡± Sherry saw him carrying his bag and walking with a tired expression on his face.

    ¡°Haha, yes..¡± The intern doctor laughed scratching his head and nodded at what Sherry said.

    ¡°Good job. You did well.¡± Sherry came near him and patted his shoulder like a proud teacher.

    After waving him goodbye, Sherry ran upstairs to the third floor. The intern doctor watched her run like her depended on it, while he thought he was forgetting something really important related to Sherry.

    ¡®What was it?¡¯ he tried to remember but he was too beat up and exhausted to even think straight.

    After looking at her back for a while, he turned away and started walking downstairs.

    .

    ¡°Finally!¡± Sherry gasped for breathe after reaching the fifth floor, where her working office was located.

    As she was about to enter the office, a man in a spiky hair and black rimmed glasses, looking as snarky as he could be appeared from the office just next to her.

    ¡°Oh yah..Isn¡¯t it the youngest doctor we have ever had?!¡± He spoke with disdain looking at Sherry through his thick lensed glass.

    ¡°You seem to be late today, uhh huh?¡±

    The way he looked at her and the way he spoke clearly showed his hatred towards Sherry.

    ¡°Hello, Mr. Pumpkins!¡± Sherry turned around and greeted him with a smile. She totally ignored his unfriendly remarks.

    ¡°¡­..¡±, The vein in the man¡¯s face twitched and his expression turned dark.

    ¡°It¡¯s Mr. Hopkins for you, little lady.¡± He stood straight in a gentlemanly posture and corrected her.

    ¡°Sorry Mr. Pumpkins, I don¡¯t have time to amuse you today.¡¯ Sherry shouted out loud before she entered the office and shut the door right on his face.

    ¡°Y-Y-You..¡± Mr. Hopkins stared at the locked door with a speechless face as he tried to collect himself back from the shock of being ignored like that.

    ¡°We will see someday, little lady.¡± He gave a slight humph and walked back to his office. He closed the door right behind him and on the name plate of the door, in large handwriting his Post and name in the hospital was written.

    ¡°Assistant Neurosurgeon- Dr. Ramsay Hopkins!¡±

    ¡°She is too arrogant for her age!¡± The man cursed when he went inside his office.

    ¡°But wait a minute¡­¡± He remembered something and he quickly checked his memo to clear the itchy feeling in his heart.

    He quickly found his notebook and when he saw the top most notice there, he let out a surprised gasp.

    ¡®Isn¡¯t Dr. Sherry supposed to be on leave today?¡¯ He thought looking at her application for leave that was still on his desk.

    After getting approval from the hospital director, he was given the letter by the director himself as Dr. Sherry had already left the work the day before early in the noon saying she had something important to do.

    ¡°Holy Fuck!¡± He exclaimed out in surprise. ¡°Isn¡¯t she supposed to be getting married today?¡±

    .

    ¡°Why did I have to meet him when I am about to go in to an important surgery?¡± Sherry shook her head in disdain.

    She quickly cleared off her head and went to her locker. After sanitizing her hands and arms, she took out the surgical gowns and put them on in a few seconds.

    She did not even bother taking off the t-shirt she was wearing underneath.

    She put her white doctor apron on and after putting on her stethoscope she walked out of her office towards the Emergency Room where her patient was waiting for her.

    She herself did not have any idea on who the patient was, but she knew she could pull off even the most serious case as long as the patient had a will to live and the doctors on her team did not give up.

    She opened the door of the ER with a hurried movements and walked towards the VIP rooms at the B block of the hospital where VIP patients were kept.

    As for the A block, it was mainly filled with patients who could not afford a room from themselves and had to share it with more than three or four patients.

    Sherry would have loved to go and check it out but her priority was the patient currently at room no 202.

    ¡°It will be fine.¡± She calmed her self down and entered the room.

    ¡°Dr. Sherry is here! Oh my god! Finally!¡¯ The old nurse, Mrs. Tannu was the first to hear the door opening with a creaking sound.

    She raised her head from where she was and noticed Dr. Sherry¡¯s face which was out of breathe and a little flushed due to the heat.

    Dr. Thomas too turned around from what he was doing right on time to see Dr. Sherry entering with a pair of gloves on her hand and a mask on her face.

    ''Ohohoho...Professional ethics. Good.'' He was a little impressed when he saw her.

    ¡°Good to see you here, Dr. Sherry.¡± Dr. Thomas greeted her as soon as she was near to the bed where the patient was lying.

    "Good evening doctor!" She greeted the elderly man in front of her.

    Sherry looked around and only say doctors from gyno departments!!

    Wait? Did I enter the wrong room? Sherry was caught in a moment of panic when she thought she had entered the wrong room. She even had the urge to go and check the room number.

    As if knowing what she was thinking, Dr. Thomas explained what was happening.

    ¡°So, you mean, even after aborting the baby, there still seems to be some kind of problem with her and she happens to be my patient?¡± Sherry briefly accounted what she understood from Dr. Thomas¡¯s quick explanation.

    ¡°Yes, and her name happens to be..¡± Sherry looked at the report file of the patient and her eyes widened in shock when she saw the name.

    ¡°Bella Cath?!¡±

 Chapter 22 - To Meet My Wife

    ¡°If I am not prying, may I ask why you are going to the hospital?¡± Chris who was feeling suffocated due to the silence inside the car, finally spoke trying to liven the atmosphere inside the car.

    ¡®You are definitely already prying when you said this!¡¯ Roy commented inside his heart. He would have loved to shout it to the man but he refrained from doing so since his boss had asked him to be polite and kind to this fucking piece of shit.

    ¡°I am going to meet my wife,¡± Levian answered in a professional manner but he did not forget to emphasize the wifey part.

    No one had expected him to answer, however, Levian was more than happy to keep him company and to Roy¡¯s surprise, he answered the question happily.

    ¡°What really?¡± Roy was the one to get shocked at this news. Weren¡¯t they going to meet the doctor called as Sherry Lona to do some business deals?

    ¡®Follow the script stupid.¡¯ Levian gestured with his eyes.

    Roy:¡°¡­¡­¡±

    ¡°Your wife?¡± Chris was taken aback when he heard that a young man such as the person behind him was already married.

    ¡°She is in the hospital?¡± he asked.

    ¡°Yes.¡± Levian was glancing at the round head of the man before him all this while.

    ¡°She has been in the hospital for a long time, I am afraid she might stay in the hospital her whole life.¡± Levian let out a sigh thinking about the professional work ethics of Sherry that he had learnt from her records.

    From the moment she got licensed as a doctor, she stayed 24/7 in hospital, not even taking days or nights off to take rest.

    Only after her marriage was finalized, she started to take care of herself and took few days leave to prepare, for the first time ever in her life.

    Well, Levian himself was a workaholic but he knew he did not even hold a candle to Sherry¡¯s diligence in working.

    She was overpowered!!

    ¡°You seem worried about her.¡± Chris commented.

    ¡°Hmm¡­Am I?¡± Levian was thoughtful for a while.

    ¡®I am just anxious thinking about her going to engross herself in work much more often than before to forget about her cheating fianc¨¦.¡¯ Levian thought to himself taking in to considerations the behavior of Sherry.

    He valued trust more than anything and betrayal was the thing he hated the most. Thinking as to how the asshole Chris cheated on Sherry, completely disregarding her trust and faith made him mad at Chris even though he was just a bystander.

    With his mood going downhill, the temperature inside the car also plummeted and the atmosphere suddenly got stagnant and heavy. He could not help but send sharp and hateful gaze to Chris who was sitting in front of him.

    ¡®What was that?¡¯ Chris felt a shiver down his spine when he sensed the ominous and malicious gaze on him.

    ¡°I-I hope she makes a quick recovery.¡± Chris offered good wishes to try and lift the heavy atmosphere inside the car.

    ¡°Yeah, I hope she does.¡± Levian agreed with him. ¡°I hope she recovers from the pain in her heart.¡± Levian added, his intention and emotion vague.

    None of them spoke anything and once again silence permeated the car.

    After a while, the car came to a sudden halt.

    ¡°Boss, we have arrived.¡± Roy broke the silence and looked back at Levian who simply nodded his head.

    ¡°You can get off now.¡± Roy turned his head sideways and saw Chris was still sitting there like an esteemed guest and wanted to ask him to piss off.

    ¡°Oh right..Thank you, sir.¡± Chris gave a bootlicking smile as he tried to curry favor with the man on the back seat.

    As for Roy, he did not even keep him in his eyes, because he was just a driver. He knew that only the man at the back seat was powerful enough and getting a connection for networking in future was going to be good.

    ¡°Excuse me sir.¡± Chris was still staying inside the car and turned to look back at Levian once again. He took out his wallet and took out a business card.

    He noticed Levian¡¯s face and wondered if he might have seen it since it felt awfully familiar to him. His eyes trailed from the custom made suit he was wearing to the million dollar¡¯s worth watch on his wrist.

    ¡®Even the shoes he is wearing is made from pure leather.¡¯ Chris commented inwardly and again turned back his gaze to his well chiseled face that could even shame the supermodels.

    He even momentarily thought if this man was some kind of celebrity.

    ¡°Is there anything in my face?¡± Levian was irked by the staring eyes of Chris that was measuring him from top to bottom as if calculating his worth.

    ¡°You have been staring at me for quite q while now. I know I look good but sorry, I am only interested in woman.¡± Levian did not even let him speak and directly cut him off.

    ¡°N-No, sir..that w-wasn¡¯t my intention.¡± Chris backed down, flushing a little in embarrassment.

    ¡®Whahahah..Serves you right.¡¯ Roy held in his laughter since his job was to be kind to the guy.

    ¡°Ahemm..¡± Chris cleared his throat and gulped down his embarrassment.

    ¡°Although I can not do much to thank you for your kindness, I can surely return the favor to one day.¡± He held out his business card to Levian and smiled shamelessly.

    ¡°So what?¡± Levian glanced at the card and showed a look of disdain.

    ¡°Err. I mean, I can help you someday. It¡¯s better to know more people.¡± Chris made his intention clear but his palms were already wet with sweat despite appearing calm and confident.

    Levian did not speak anything and directly got off of the car. Following him Chris also got off from the car and stood right beside him.

    Roy looked at Chris who was following his boss around and shook his head.

    He took out a bottle of air cleaner and sprayed it on the seat that Chris was seating. ¡°I heard betrayal is contagious. I hope I won¡¯t catch it.¡± He shuddered at the thought and once again sprayed the air purifier all inside.

    Smelling the fresh scent he let out a smile.

    .

    ¡°Here, take this.¡± Levian shoved a business card right in to his hand and did not even bother to look at the card he was holding.

    ¡°I am pretty sure you will need my card more than I might need yours.¡± Levian put on his long outer coat and seeing that Roy had already parked the car and was walking towards him, he turned his back on Chris and said, ¡°Well then, I wish you all the best in your life to dodge the misfortunes coming your way.¡±

    Without even hearing for his response, Levian and Roy took off towards the reception of the hospital to make a private appointment with Dr. Sherry.

    As for Chris, he did not even hear what the other person said as he stood dumbstruck at his place looking at the name in the card, cursing himself for not recognizing the one and only Levian Smith.

 Chapter 23 - Pride Of A Doctor

    ¡°Hey..¡± A young nurse who was carrying files and walking to the records room elbowed her friend who was busy munching on her chips.

    ¡°W-what? Don¡¯t disturb me..I am eating right now.¡± The other girl shrugged off her shoulder and focused on her chips. Since they had been busy all day long, she was starving.

    Right now, nothing else was important than the food that was going inside her mouth.

    ¡°Dummy, you are going it regret if you do not look right now.¡± The young nurse poked her in her stomach and snatched the bag of potato chips from her hand.

    ¡°Hey, give it ba¡­..¡± Her voice trailed off before she could even finish her sentence. Seeing the speechless face of her friend, the first nurse gave a smirk.

    ¡°See I told you.¡± She squealed like a high school girl and clasped the files on her chest in excitement while her friend was in the continued state of awe.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t he handsome?¡± Pointing at Levian who was heading towards the reception room, both of them nodded in excitement as they blushed from ear to ear.

    ¡°Is he a supermodel?¡± The girl who had been munching in the chips asked with doubt as she looked at his well maintained face, body and the domineering aura he exuded even without doing anything.

    By simply being there, he was able to win both of their hearts.

    ¡°If handsome men like him come to our hospital daily, I am willing to work 26/7 without a moment rest.¡± The first nurse gave an endearing look at the side profile of Levian as he passed by them.

    ¡°I know right..¡± The other nurse tilted her head and looked at him go to the extent her eyes could.

    ¡°Enn¡­Hey, why are you drooling all over my hand?¡± She shouted in startled tone and shook her friend.

    ¡°Are you really that hungry?¡± She asked in disbelief but felt sad seeing the hungry look on her friend¡¯s face. She shoved the potato chips packet on her hand and walked away from there dragging her friend along with her.

    They could dream about handsome man any day but right now they had to do their work.

    .

    ¡°You really attract way too much attention boss.¡± Roy spoke as he watched the two nurses walk away from the corner of his eyes.

    ¡°It¡¯s not my problem, is it?¡± Levian loosened the tie on his neck and walked to the reception where three staffs were busy making calls, appointments and handling papers.

    It was about time to retire for the day so they were hurrying through their works that they did not even notice someone had arrived and was standing in front of the counter.

    ¡°Excuse me, May I get an appointment with Dr. Sherry?¡± Levian asked the staffs who was near most to him.

    The lady raised her head up and was silent for a while as she stared at the majestic face in front of her. But as a veteran worker, she quickly regained her composure and denied his request.

    ¡°Sorry sir, we do not run OPD services at night. If it¡¯s emergency case then you can head to emergency department at the right wing.¡± She politely responded to Levian.

    She went through the doctor¡¯s list and saw that Dr. Sherry was currently in her office after checking up on a critical patient.

    ¡®Why is she here today? Didn¡¯t she take leave for today?¡¯ She was confused when she saw the records ad had to double check with the next staff who was managing documents.

    ¡°Ohh, she came back just a few hours ago due to an emergency case.¡± The next staff informed her.

    ¡°Sorry sir, but you can only make an appointment at later date.¡± She turned to face Levian who was standing there, waiting for her to make his appointment.

    ¡®Sir, just use your power to make one. Who dares to defy you?¡¯ Roy whispered to Levian but was returned with only silence.

    ¡°I can do that..But this time I want to do it from the front door.¡± Levian gave a silent answer and turned to look at the staff.

    ¡®Oh wow, he is that serious huh?¡¯ Roy was impressed by the determination his boss had to get the appointment.

    ¡°Mam, I am really in need of assistant from Dr. Sherry.¡± Levian was a business man, so the way he spoke was really fluent and attractive.

    ¡°I will love to let you meet her sir, but it¡¯s her off day and yet she is working late. I am sorry, I really can not let you meet her.¡± The staff faltered in her words and her determination when faced with such a good and smooth talker.

    ¡°You can call Dr. Sherry and tell her that she has an important patient waiting for her. If she doesn¡¯t want me, I will leave for today.¡± Levian made his intention clear and looked at the staff.

    ¡°Fine, then please wait a minute while I call her.¡± The staff took out the telephone and rang up Dr. Sherry in her office who, at the moment was taking a rest in her office after taking care of the emergency case right now.

    She was tired and exhausted but not physically. Her mental fortitude had always been strong but spending this one day alone had made her feel mentally drained out and emotionally exhausted.

    The scenes from before, the scenes from the operation hall came flooding in her vision. She tightly shut her eyes to cut off the sight of pale and weak Bella, who looked like she was about to die any moment due to excessive blood lost.

    ¡°Dr. Sherry, should we proceed with the operation?¡± the senior doctors, Mr. Thomas had asked her after preparing everything.

    Sherry looked at the group of doctors who were ready and on standby and at the patient on the bed.

    One word from her could decide whether the operation will take place or not since, as her doctor she had full rights over the patient and her treatment.

    ¡°Let¡¯s do it!¡± Sherry looked with determination at everyone there, her voice not faltering one bit.

    "I will take care of her, since she is my patient!!" She claimed with her pride as a doctor.

    Since the miscarriage was way too serious, they had to remove the womb from her belly. Although Sherry was not a well-trained gynecologist, she could still perform the surgery along with the other doctors from the related department.

    After all, Bella was her patient and as her doctor, her responsibility came before everything, even before her hatred and desire for revenge.

    ¡°But, the fact she miscarriage still makes me sad. Shouldn¡¯t I be happy that it happened?¡± Sherry shut her eyes tight while pain eroded her heart from inside.

    Di Di Di Di

    While she was getting lost in her thoughts, the sound of the telephone ringing echoed inside the silent room.

 Chapter 24 - Kill Them With Kindness

    Di Di Di Di

    Hearing the ringing of the phone, Sherry who was about to doze off on the couch was startled awake. Wiping away the thin layer of sweat on her forehead, she looked at the telephone on her walking table.

    She stood up from the couch in a swift motion and went to grab the telephone.

    ¡°Dr. Sherry speaking.¡± She picked up the phone and responded to the call in a calm tone.

    It was calm to the extent of sending chills down the spine of the staff lady who was on the other side of the phone.

    ¡°Umm, so-rry for disturbing your rest Dr. Sherry.¡± The staff stuttered a little and shot a piercing glance at Levian who despite seeing it just acted innocent and harmless.

    The staff lady: ¡°¡­..¡± This is all clearly for you!!

    ¡°Yes, I am listening.¡± Sherry answered back when no one spoke from the other side.

    ¡°Huh..Ohh.¡± She exclaimed and turned her attention to the call. She got slightly distracted

    ¡°Right, there is a patient here who is asking to meet you.¡± The staff calmed down and informed her.

    ¡°And he says he wants to do it now. He seems to be in pretty pinch situation but if you are tired I can just send him back.¡± She made her intention clear for calling and waited for Sherry to respond back.

    Sherry raised her head and glanced at the watch on the wall. It was around 6 pm in the evening. Although she would have loved to go back and get rest, her heart was not happy with leaving a patient stranded like that.

    ¡°You can send him to my office then. I will get ready.¡± Sherry replied back after thinking for a while. She thought it was better to do something useful than get herself wasted away by thinking useless things.

    ¡°Y-You will?!¡± The staff was taken aback but she knew how Doctor Sherry was. She could never say no to anyone.

    ¡°Sorry for disturbing you and thank you, Dr. Sherry.¡± She gave a sincere smile and gratitude and ended the call.

    Meanwhile, Levian who had been listening to their talk was also surprised to hear that Sherry agreed to meet a patient who was without any appointment and just because he said it was a complicated case.

    The favorability point of Sherry increased more in his heart and he was starting to feel that Sherry was not a bad choice to partner with for a while.

    ¡°The fifth floor.¡± The staff looked at Levian and smiled giving him a letter of appointment.

    ¡°She said she will be waiting for you. I hope your complications get solved.¡± She smiled at Levian and continued with her previous work.

    ¡°You worked hard.¡± Levian gave a well done look to the staff and walked to the elevator.

    ¡®Why did I feel like I just got praised by the CEO of my workplace?¡¯ She was puzzled and watched the straight and proud back of Levian who exuded charm and confidence like a natural pheromone.

    ¡°Thank you mam, you are really kind.¡± Roy thanked the staff lady and went after Levian and large strides quickly catching up with him.

    The elevator arrived right after they reached it and both mounted the elevator and pressed the button to go to the fifth floor.

    The elevator was empty as not much people were present in the hospital. Even the staffs were slowly leaving one after another. Practically, after a few hours, the place was going to be silent like a grave at night with only doctors and nurses in white coats running around checking up on patients and doing rounds.

    ¡°It was easier than I thought.¡± Levian looked at the piece of paper in his hand and let out a husky chuckle.

    ¡°Boss, I have a question.¡± Roy had something he wanted to ask.

    ¡°Actually, I have more than one question.¡± Roy half shrugged his shoulder and let out a sigh. The day had been way too exciting for him but it brought him more curiosity.

    ¡°Hmm? Go on.¡± He nodded his head and probed the man to go forward with is question without any hesitation.

    ¡°First question!¡± Roy cleared his throat.

    ¡°Why did you agree to go to the wedding of Miss Sherry Lona?¡±

    ¡°No reason honestly, I guess I was just bored.¡± Levian replied as if it was no big deal going on a wedding.

    ¡°Then the next question. Why did you ask me to be kind to that cheating piece of shit?¡± Roy had been curious about this ever since they let the man on the car.

    ¡°Kill them with kindness.¡± Levian once again answered nonchalantly. His answers were short and precise.

    Roy: ¡°¡­¡­¡±

    ¡°Cough cough, is that so?¡± He let out a slight cough to clear his throat and head on to the next question.

    ¡°What about giving him your business card?¡± Roy knew he was being chattier than usual but he did not care. His boss was to blame for doing weird things and breaking out of his character making him unable to hold in his curiosity.

    ¡°That? It¡¯s just a bit of insurance for future.¡± Levian let out a mysterious laugh and Roy could even see a glint of mischievous glow in his eyes for a fraction of second. It was unusual for his boss to show that many different emotions in a single period of time when his boss was called as the stone faced monster.

    ¡°You will know what I mean when you see it for yourself in future.¡± Levian added a remark before returning back to his normal and apathetic self.

    ¡°Does that solve your curiosity?¡± Hearing no other questions from Roy, Levian asked.

    ¡°Yes boss, thank you for answering them.¡± Roy absent mindedly nodded his head because after getting the answers from him, he got even more confused about the real intention of his boss.

    The elevator stopped at the fifth floor right when they finished their conversation.

    ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Levian gave a satisfied smile and looked in front of him just in time to see a hallway in front of them from the door of elevator.

    ¡°Now, we go to meet the real target of our day.¡± Levian stepped out of the elevator door and gave a smirking smile.

    ~~Umu...Thank you for reading~~

 Chapter 25 - What Are You Going To Do About This?

    ¡°Please come in.¡± Sherry put on her mask and doctor apron as soon as she heard the knock on her door. She stood up from the chair she was sitting on and went to the patient counseling desk to wait on the patient.

    She never usually took patients in her row office until they were extremely VIP patients or extremely injured patients who needed her help as soon as possible.

    ¡°But who could it be?¡± She was also curious about this sudden patient. But honestly speaking, she was really thankful for this new patient who came as her saving grace.

    She did not want to go home today since her uncle and aunt were waiting there for her. As for her own apartment, she did not want to go there as well since she did not want to be alone today.

    Staying in the hospital was her only escape route at the moment but it could never be her permanent solution. She had to think and act fast before she was harmed by her fianc¨¦ in other ways.

    If he could go to the lengths of killing her, there was no doubt something very fishy was going on in the back ground that she was not aware of.

    She even knew now that her uncle and aunt were only playing the Good Samaritan till now while hiding their true snake colors behind their warm fa?ade of love.

    ¡°They all planned to kill me on the day of my wedding and..¡± Sherry simply zipped her mouth to stop herself from talking more. The more she thought, the worse she felt.

    She had an emergency patient coming in. Having her thoughts wander here and there was a big no no for her.

    As soon as she was done with marinating her composure back, the door to the room opened with a soft creaking sound.

    ¡®Might be some sweet old lady.¡¯ Sherry thought to herself based on the way the door opened. Thinking about the old lady, she remembered her nanny back home who was probably waiting for her with good food to cheer her up.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Sherry finally made up her mind. She was going to go back to the main mansion of the Lona family, eat the warm food cooked by her old nanny and after that, she was going to make the two people, her uncle and aunt open their mouth and tell her the truth.

    ¡°Please have a seat.¡± She pointed to the chair in front of her without raising her hand a she was currently writing a small report.

    Levian who had sneaked inside her room like a rat felt that he was being ignored by the pervy lady for the sake of few papers.

    ¡°Cough..¡± He coughed to clear his throat a bit and of course, get her to look at him.

    ¡°Good evening doctor.¡± He added in the most gentlemanly way possible.

    Snap!

    Sherry who had been expecting to hear warm voice of an old lady paused on her writing when the reality hit her hard.

    The tip of the pencil she was using suddenly snapped and broke when she applied too much pressure on top of it when she stopped abruptly.

    And why won¡¯t she be surprised at this?

    She had been expecting a lady but contrary to her expectation, a deep and husky voice which was quite masculine greeted her.

    It was not some old lady but it was a full-fledged grown up macho MAN!!!

    Sherry momentarily had a panic attack with this new found discovery.

    Without even a moments delay, she raised her head and looked at the person who was standing like a mannequin in a fashion store.

    ¡®He looks perfectly fine.¡¯ Sherry thought to herself after looking at him for some time.

    Levian noticed that Sherry was finally looking at him and nodded his head in satisfaction with how intense her gaze was. He particularly did not like people staring at him but for some reason, he kind of liked the way she looked at him.

    Mission make her look at Me; complete!

    Sherry slightly tilted her head and looked behind the man to search for the actual patient. But seeing the space behind him as empty as vacuum, she was taken aback a little.

    ¡°Hello, you are the patient?¡± Sherry scrunched her nose and knitted her brows in a tight frown as she stared at Levian.

    ¡°Oh, yes, yes.¡± Levian smiled at her in the most polite way he knew and answered her. He placed the appointment letter on her desk to prove the credibility of his presence there.

    ¡°May I?¡± Levian pulled out the chair and asked her if he could sit there.

    Sherry unconsciously raised her eyebrows in an arc at the incredible manner he was showing. She kind of liked it, meeting someone with good and polite manners.

    ¡°Yes, please do.¡± Sherry easily gave permission while she started to go through the appointment letter. It was after all meant for the patients to sit on.

    Sherry felt that the appointment letter that she was holding this time was a little bit different than usual.

    ¡®Might be my illusion.¡¯ She waved off her thought and opened the file. She was just going to check it to get the information on the patient but she was surprised to find that it instead had something else.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Sherry turned through the pages one by one, her eyes widening in surprise and shock with each page she was turning.

    ¡°So what do you think?¡± Levian smiled as he looked at the woman before her who was re-reading through the letter without stopping for a bit.

    Hearing his voice, Sherry finally snapped out of the trance she was and looked at Levian who was smiling showing his pearly teeth. He did not look like an emergency patient from any angle!

    The file in her hand was more than enough for her to realize all of this was a false appointment.

    ¡°This? Are you for real?¡± Sherry closed the file with a loud snapping sound and threw it on the table.

    Levian at the very least had expected this kind of reaction from her. If she was going to simply agree to it, he would have to rethink his decision of choosing her.

    Or if she had been over dramatic at this, he would have to rethink his decision as well.

    ¡°Yes, everything written there is real.¡± He leaned back on his chair and looked at her with a smug smile on his face.

    ¡°And so am I.¡± He added with the same look on his face.

    ¡°¡­..¡±

    Sherry did not know which word was going to be appropriate for her to use to respond to him.

    ¡°Hah, if you do not believe me,, you can try groping my chest all over again.¡± He loosened his tie and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt.

    ¡°Wha-t are you d-ooing?¡± Sherry looked at him flustered and as red as tomato. The words groping chest made her remember about the stranger whom she touched the last time.

    It made her embarrassment multiply by double fold.

    But now that¡¯s he thought about it, the face of the man looked somewhat familiar.

    ¡°Y-Y-YOU..¡± Sherry dropped the pen from her hand as she exclaimed in surprise when she realized that they were the same person!

    ¡°Hah, so you remember me huh?¡± Levian was pleased with this new piece of information.

    ¡°Now, dear perverse lady,¡± He leaned towards her in a slow motion and stopped a few inches away from her face.

    Sherry was too shocked to move and so she watched his face enlarge in her vision as a frozen fish.

    ¡°What are you going to do about this?¡± He asked with an innocent face as he pointed at the documents inside the file.

    ~To all the readers: TY for reading.. I am sorry for the unscheduled updates T.T I love you all!~

 Chapter 26 - Sherry With Two Guys?!

    Chris finally snapped back to reality after he had reached the lobby of the hospital from the parking lot.

    Taking one last look at his hand which held the business card of Levian Smith, he gulped down the saliva that had been stuck on his throat all this time.

    He put the card inside his wallet with great care as if it was a big treasure.

    ¡®I will need to pay visit to sir Levian and his wife with fruits and flowers,¡¯ he smiled uncannily as he planned to make a good impression of himself on Levian Smith, the only guy who was powerful enough to help him if he really did mess up things.

    ¡®If things do not go well with Sherry, I can¡­.hehehe,¡¯

    ¡°Excuse me sir,¡± a voice called out to him, drawing away his attention from his beautiful dream to the dull reality.

    His body shivered a little when a hand tapped on his shoulder out of nowhere. He quickly turned around and saw an old lady with a mop looking at him.

    ¡®It¡¯s the janitor lady,¡¯ he frowned as soon as he saw that it was just a cleaning staff. His expression twisted and with an ugly frown, he glanced at her from top to bottom.

    ¡°What is it?¡± He asked rudely as he dusted off the place where she had touched.

    ¡°I do not have money, so, don¡¯t beg to me,¡± he scowled at her in anger.

    The janitor lady: ¡°¡­..¡±

    ¡°Wha-¡± She was taken aback by what she was just told by a total stranger. Her speechlessness knew no bound.

    ¡°Sir, I am not here to-,¡±

    ¡°Go away now,¡± Chris interrupted her from speaking and gestured her to go away from him.

    ¡®Da Faq?¡¯ She was dumbfounded.

    The janitor lady had the urge to hit the man with the mop she was catching but she knew she was better than that. Her work ethics and moral did not allow her to do something as uncivilized at that.

    ¡°Sir, please can you move aside from here? You are blocking the place and hindering me in doing my work efficiently.¡±

    She pointed at his feet and shrugged her shoulder.

    ¡°You have been standing here for minutes without any sign of moving,¡± she explained when Chris did not respond to her.

    ¡°So?¡± Chris did not even show a sign of remorse or regret or guilt. He stood there nonchalantly, looking like an asshole as ever.

    ¡°So huh?¡± She repeated after him while widening her eyes to match her current state of surprise.

    ¡°You are not moving from here?¡± She asked a little dumbfounded at his stubbornness and attitude.

    ¡°Yes, I will never obey the likes of you,¡± he crossed his arms around his chest and looked at her with defying and unyielding eyes. He even had an ugly sneer on his face that made him seem like a complete bull shit person.

    ¡°Oh, really?¡±

    The janitor lady smiled politely while her lips continued to stretch from one ear to the next.

    *Splosh*

    Chris suddenly felt a wet sensation on his feet accompanied by a wet splashing sound.

    He hurried to look at his feet just to see water seeping inside his shoes and wetting his socks from the mop that had hit him there.

    ¡°If you are not moving, I have no choice but to mop over you.¡± The janitor lady continued rubbing her mop on his feet while pushing it to make him lose the balance on his feet.

    Smack, smack

    She continued to hit him on his feet, each time increasing her strength.

    Chris staggered on his feet due to the intense effort of the cleaning lady and after the third hit, he lost the balance of his body and fell flat on his butt with a loud thud.

    A few employees who were still loitering around in the hospital saw the scene of a grown up man falling flat on his butt and could not help but let out a light chuckle out of amusement.

    Chris could feel the prickling gazes on him, which reminded him of the day he had where his fianc¨¦e managed to belittle and shame him in front of so many distinguished guests.

    ¡°Fuck it all,¡± he slammed down his fist on the marble ground and cursed under his breath.

    ¡°Fuck you stupid woman..¡± He looked at the janitor and cursed at her but she simply took it with a grain of salt. Offence coming form hi mouth was not even an offence anymore to her.

    She simply picked up her mop and grabbed her bucket of water.

    ¡°Don¡¯t mind me moping over you,¡± the janitor lady smiled politely.

    ¡°You do look like a piece of shit after all,¡± she rolled her eyes at him and turned around to continue her work. She already had wasted so much time trying to talk sense with the idiot.

    The back of his neck started feeling hot when he realized that people were staring at him and even laughing.

    He was still in a white dress from the wedding so the patch of stain on his pants was more so visible and looked uglier than before.

    ¡°Right, I need to meet with Sherry.¡± He remembered the main reason as to why he was back at this cursed hospital.

    As for Bella, he was going to meet her only after all this was over. He more or less blamed her for the problems as she could not do her work properly and let Sherry survive even after that thorough planning.

    ¡®As long as you are alive, you can still be with me.¡¯ he nodded inside his head and walked towards the receptionist to ask for Dr. Sherry.

    .

    ¡°Excuse me, is Doctor Sherry here?¡± he reached to the nearest receptions to ask for help.

    ¡°Dr. Sherry again?¡± The lady who was about to walk out stopped on her tracks and gave a sharp turn to look at Chris.

    ¡°Why are everyone looking for Dr. Sherry today?¡± She looked at Chris curiously as she thought about the guy from before aka Levian who managed to get Dr. Sherry to look at his condition.

    ¡®She is the real hit news.¡¯ Her lips curled up in to an amused smile when she noticed that all the guys who came hunting her down were hot hunks and chunks.

    ¡®But if I don¡¯t leave now, I will be sleeping in the streets tonight.¡¯ A cold shiver ran down her spine and she hurried to leave.

    After bidding every one of her colleagues, she dashed right out of the lobby.

    ¡°Bye,¡± the staff waved at her and continued searching through the records.

    ¡°Sorry, she is busy with a client already,¡± the one who was working new shifts informed Chris.

    ¡°You can not meet her now since it¡¯s already past her working hours.¡± She added with the same amount of politeness.

    ¡°But, I need to meet her.¡± He tapped on the desk with his fingers and looked around anxiously. No one except him knew how important Sherry and her death were.

    ¡°We are extremely sorry about this.¡± She could do nothing more than be her polite usual self.

    His eyes travelled from the staff to the wall and to the elevator one by one. Just when he was about to look away, the door of the elevator opened and out walked three figures.

    He squinted his eyes to look at them but he could only make out the girl¡¯s face as one of the men seemed to be hiding the face and identity of the other guy.

    ¡°That girl..¡± He narrowed his eyes as he focused his eyes at her. That outline of body, that facial bone structure and that sharp and well chiseled nose..

    It could belong to only one person he knew.

    ¡°It¡¯s Sherry!¡± He gasped in surprise when he realized his fianc¨¦e was walking out of a closed elevator with two guys by her side.

    TY for reading

 Chapter 27 - Crack His Eggs!

    ¡°Wait, I forgot something,¡± Sherry said as she stopped walking. Both Levian and Roy looked at the doctor in surprise.

    ¡°Is something the matter?¡± Roy asked real quickly.

    ¡°Noo no, umm¡­I need to sign the record real quick,¡± she explained herself politely to both the strangers who had become not so stranger after talking with them for a bit.

    ¡°Sure, you can take your time,¡± Levian said as she opened his arm. He wanted her to fell that she was not being forced or compelled to comply with him. She was she and her choices and life came before anything.

    ¡°We will be waiting in the parking lot,¡± he said with a smile as he gestured towards Roy to start walking.

    ¡°Miss, we will see you later,¡± he said while giving her a courtesy bow.

    Sherry nodded her head at both of them and swiftly turned around. She sprinted towards the lobby where the records were kept. Although she had her day off, she still needed to completely her duty and sign them.

    ¡°How can you be this careless? Stupid!!¡± she scolded herself in spite. Just because she had a bad day did not mean she could be lax and forget about her duty now could she?

    Shaking her head she entered the lobby of the hospital. The lobby was quiet and empty as only a few people were around.

    Because she was caught up in other matters, she did not hear the footsteps that were coming behind her.

    ¡°Sherry!!¡± A loud voice called her name from behind her.

    A hand approached from behind and grabbed Sherry by her shoulder. The name and hand which appeared out of nowhere made her heart sink in fear.

    ¡°Wait..¡± she stopped the scream that was about to escape from her mouth on her throat when she recognized the voice.

    ¡°Chris?!¡± she whispered lightly under her breathe.

    The expression of fear on her face quickly turned into a deadpan look. She raised her hand and grabbed the palm that was grabbing her shoulder.

    She had taken karate classes when she was in high school as a part of self-defense. So, she had a few ideas on how to make perverts regret placing their dirty paw on her.

    She grabbed the wrist and twisted it with all her might while sidestepping so that she could not only twist the wrist but whole of his arm.

    But before that she wanted to try the epic move that every woman were to do when in a pinch like this.

    She raised her feet and slammed her kick on the part of the man where it hurt the most.

    Crack!!

    Sherry could hear the sounds of both eggs cracking. A loud howl of a man in pain echoed in the silent lobby which almost corresponded to a wolf howling.

    The new receptionist looked at the source of sound, alarmed, her hand ready to dial the emergency number in case it really was a wolf.

    ¡®Ahh, it¡¯s just a fight,¡¯ she sighed in relief upon seeing that it was a scuffle between two people.

    ¡°I think I ruined his family jewel,¡± Sherry chuckled without feeling guilty as she twisted the arm behind his back.

    ¡°Owww, oww, oww, let go of me!!¡± Chris cried out in pain. The pain was too intense for a young master like him, to the point he could not figure it out of the pain came from the family jewels of the twisted arm.

    ¡°That scared the hell out of me,¡± she sighed as she looked with disdain at Chris. She threw his hand away and wiped her palm in a tissue.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡± She asked with a dead pan expression on her face after she threw the tissue paper on the dustbin.

    Chris was still in too much pain due to the assault from before. He cupped his jewels with his arm that was still intact to calm down the pain.

    ¡°Sherry..¡± he started to speak but Sherry cut him off in middle.

    ¡°Ahh right, you are here to check on your lover,¡± she said as she clapped her hand with a smile on her face as if she remembered something really beautiful and heartwarming.

    ¡°What a loving couple,¡± she looked at Chris dreamily.

    ¡°Right?¡± she winked at him, her lips curled up in a beautiful smile that seemed to be laughing at him.

    Chris had nothing he could use to refute her. She already knew the half-truth. He was thankful she did not know the real thing behind this scene.

    ¡°Sherry, baby, can¡¯t you forgive me once?¡± He asked with watery eyes as he grabbed her hand. He was literally begging her to forgive him.

    ¡°I have been faithful to you all the times, I just fell in her trap and all of this happened¡­¡± he said while trying to make himself look like the victim. He clasped her hand on his chest and said with a sorrowful smile.

    ¡°Baby, listen to this heart beat,¡± he said with a sad smile that was oozing with love.

    ¡°This only beats on the mention of your name,¡± he added, completely forgetting the fact that he had yelled at Sherry for many things involving Bella.

    ¡°¡­.¡±

    Sherry had never seen anyone a shameless as this guy. He was arrogant, cold, manipulative, cheating, greedy and a big scumbag.

    Now he even blamed someone else for his wrong doing. It was truly despicable.

    ¡°You know what,¡± she sighed as she retraced back her hand from his chest.

    ¡°Go and boil a spoonful of water, and then drown into it!!¡± she hurled a few words of insult at him before walking towards the reception desk without even sparing a glance at the man. She did not want to be around him.

    Chris could no longer accept the harsh words from Sherry. The veins popped up on his forehead in anger.

    ¡°You are no better bitch!!¡± he yelled rigt after her.

    ¡°You are just a slut who sleeps around,¡± Chris spat in anger,¡± his hands on his wrist as he paced around while trying to calm his anger.

    ¡°Do you think I did not see you walking with two men? Shameless bitch!¡± he yelled at her face.

    Sherry continued listening to him trash talk with a neutral expression. She did not even bat her eyes when all the hurtful words were thrown at her.

    ¡°Are you done talking?¡± she finally said when Chris was done dissing her.

    ¡°You!!¡± he pointed his fingers at her, his anger and anxiety skyrocketing with each passing moment.

    ¡°You what?¡± Sherry repeated, her arms crossed across her chest as she stared at Chris.

    Chris: ¡°¡­..¡±

    ¡°If you do not have anything to say, then I am leaving,¡± Sherry shrugged as she rolled her eyes in disdain.

    ¡°I still have very important business to deal with, unlike you,¡± she clicked her tongue in displeasure.

    ¡°Mr. Chris! Look forward to paying back what you owe to me in full interest,¡± she smiled one last time at him before walking away to sign the logs.

    Chris stood there feeling stupefied while the chilling voice of Sherry resounded in his mind. He only snapped out of his thought when he felt someone shaking him out from his daydream.

    ¡°Sir, you need to visit your patient in the room number XXX,¡± a night shift nurse came and patted him on his back. She had been specially asked by Doctor Sherry to inform his lost sheep.

    ¡°Your lover is waiting for you,¡± she said with a professional and polite smile as she handed him the location of the room in the building.

 Chapter 28 - Drawing Line Between Them

    ¡°Thank you for waiting,¡± a tired voice called out to the two men who were talking in the parking lot.

    ¡°Mr. Smith,¡± Sherry forced a smile as she gazed at Levian who was standing as he waited for her. She looked at Roy and also managed to smile at him with a slight bow.

    Levian said nothing as he moved his gaze all over her face as if searching for something. Seeing that she was fine, he finally exhaled out a sigh of relief. He had been worried sick about her going back there on her own.

    He had seen Chris, that hateful man loitering around the reception area from the corner of his eyes when they were returning from her office. He would have loved to stop her from going but he did not want to interfere in her own personal matters.

    It was hot in the parking lot even though it was already evening. Sherry lifted up all the loose strands of her hair from around her neck and twisted them around her bun which was already getting messy.

    Immediately, his eyes widened when he saw a red scar on her neck. It looked fresh and seemed like someone had tried to strangle her by the neck.

    His hand moved unconsciously and grabbed her by the wrist, catching both Sherry and Roy by surprise. Especially, sherry was the one who was startled with his sudden action.

    ¡°W-What is it?¡± she stammered through her words.

    Levian did not speak anything as he stretched out his hand to her neck. Sherry slightly flinched when she felt his cold hands on her neck. She subconsciously jerked her neck back a bit as if showing her resistance to his touch.

    Levian noticed this and could not help but frown. He retraced back his hands and dropped it down sideways.

    ¡°This, what happened?¡± He asked her without daring to touch her again.

    Sherry had no idea what he was asking her. But she remembered that Chris had tried to strangle her between one of their scuffles.

    ¡®It must be the scar from then,¡¯ she mumbled to herself as she ran her fingers over her neck.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing important, you should not worry about it,¡± Sherry shrugged as she stepped back in tiny steps.

    ¡°But miss,¡± Roy tried to speak to her but she cut him off. ¡°It¡¯s alright, I can take care of this,¡± she smiled as she clearly drew the lines between them. She was already starting to put the walls between them.

    ¡°Roy, it¡¯s fine,¡± Levian said as he placed his hands on his shoulder. He tapped lightly and nodded his head.

    The reaction from Sherry was justified. He was, after all, just a stranger who came with a business deal for her.

    ¡°We shall go right now,¡± he said in a cold voice when he was finally done with his thoughts. He wanted to get done with the registration as fast as he could. He frowned as he thought about the message he got a few minutes ago from his grandfather while he was waiting for her to be done.

    ¡®Why is he more anxious about me getting a wife than I am,¡¯ he could only shake his head in disdain. He did not understand how the brain of old men worked. Scoffing a bit, he opened the door of the car.

    Hearing the coldness in his voice, a cold shiver ran down her spine. She trembled lightly despite the surrounding heat assaulting her.

    ¡°Miss please,¡± Roy bowed as he showed her the car. He was gesturing her to take a seat. Sherry snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Roy.

    ¡°Mr. Smith,¡± she called out to Levian. ¡°Sir, I will like to visit my home first,¡± she stopped him right before he entered the car. Levian looked at her with a frown but he did stop to listen to her.

    Under the watchful gaze of Levian, she gulped down the air in her throat, feeling a bit nervous.

    ¡°I need to settle a few things there,¡± she mumbled. ¡°I think you know what I mean,¡± she added as she observed each expression on his poker face.

    Levian sighed when he saw that the girl looked at him all scared and stiff, as if he was some sort of plague.

    ¡°I know, that is why we are going to your house first,¡± he sighed as he stepped aside from the door.

    ¡°After you,¡± he said with both of his hands inside his pocket.

    ¡°We have many things to do tonight,¡± he pursed his lips in a straight line as he looked at Sherry.

    **

    A black car stopped in front of a dark mansion with a screech. Only the flickering light from the start lamps lightened the silent street. With the eerie silence permeating the night air, this setting looked straight out of a horror movie.

    The door of the car opened and a figure of a woman stepped out.

    ¡°You sure you don¡¯t want us coming?¡± Roy asked Sherry, a bit worried about the little lady going inside the wolf¡¯s den alone. Not to mention the whole house was engulfed in darkness.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine, I just need to meet someone,¡± she said softly. A warm smile spread on her face. It was one of those rare smile she showed. Levian felt something get stuck on his throat when he saw it. He coughed lightly to clear it.

    ¡°What if you meet your uncle and aunt?¡± Levian asked, tuning his head away from her face.

    ¡°I think I can manage it too,¡± she added. She had already thought of things she wanted to settle with her uncle and aunt when she was in the hospital.

    Without giving the two men a chance to argue with her, she made her way towards the mansion of the Lona family in quick strides. There was some sort of unsettling feeling in her heart as she got closer to the building.

    ¡®Is she asleep?¡¯ she thought to herself thinking about the old maid. She was usually the last one to sleep after taking care of everything in the house. It seemed it was not the same case today. She wondered if something was wrong.

    ¡®It¡¯s fine, do not be paranoid,¡¯ she scolded herself as she quickened her steps. She had already experienced death and betrayal, and lived through it. She had gotten full package of misfortune for free of cost.

    ¡°There can¡¯t be anything worse than these, right?¡± she chuckled as she pushed open the door of the mansion.

    ~~Thank you for reading and supporting.~~

 Chapter 29 - She Is Dead...I Know

    Chapter 29

    ¡°Aunty! I am back,¡± Sherry called out cheerfully as she pushed open the door of the house. The day had been tiring and now, she was craving the warm soup made by the old aunt. Thinking about the taste of the spices in the soup made her heart warm from within.

    Despite the unease she was feeling inside her heart, she held onto the small thread of hope and warmth.

    ¡®Why are all the lights off? I think uncle and aunt are not back yet,¡¯ she thought as she took out her phone. Turning on the flashlight she made her way to the switch wall to turn on the lights.

    Click!

    The switch produced clicking sound which was accompanied by the bright light as the bulbs and tube lights glowed. Looking around she saw that everything looked the same as she had left behind. There was not even small change in the appearance of the room. Just as she was about to walk, her feet hit something on the floor. Curious, she looked down.

    ¡°Where did this stone come from?¡± she frowned a bit as she observed the white stone on her hand. The stone looked a bit familiar to her. She rummaged through her memories to try and see where she had seen the stone before.

    ¡°Aha!! Now I remember,¡± she giggled as she looked at the old maid when she was young. It was the stone she had found when they had gone to the beach from school trip. She had just thought that the stone looked pretty. After returning back, she had simply tossed it to the old maid to throw it away.

    A smile bloomed in her face. ¡°She kept it all this time huh?¡± Holding the stone she took in a long breath.

    ¡°Aunt, are you in your room? I am coming,¡± she called out again as she made her way towards the old maid¡¯s chamber that had kit door wide open. The room was still dark as it was still in one of the dark corner.

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t y-¡± turn on the light? This was the question she wanted to ask but all of her words got pressed down on her throat. She abruptly stopped in the door, a few centimeter away from the entrance of the door with a horrified expression on her face.

    A hand was stretched out on the floor.

    Thump! Thump! Thump!

    Her heart beat accelerated as she moved her vision from te head to the top of the head that was lying on the floor- facing down as it continued lying.

    ¡°Aunt?!¡± Sherry called out to the woman on the floor but all she got as an answer was silence.

    Her heart immediately got filled with an ominous feeling as she leaned down to pat the back of her neck. Calm down Sherry! She was shouting inside her head as she moved her fingers to trail the back of her neck.

    It was cold as ice.

    Her skin was colder than anything she had ever touched before.

    There was no pulse, no heartbeat, nothing at all. There was no life in the body anymore.

    ¡®There is no way¡­ right?¡¯ Sherry pursed her lips in a straight line as she tried to get her min around what was happening.

    Sherry crouched down on the ground and raised the head of the latter with ease. She placed her already cold and blue head on her laps without any agitation. She was calm as she looked down on the dried lips of the old lady.

    ¡°A-aunt, please say something,¡± a croaked whisper left her mouth as she called out once again.

    ¡°She is already dead,¡± A cold voice echoed in the big mansion shaking Sherry ruthlessly. The voice was cold and deep, as if it was the god of death himself that was handing out the decree.

    Sherry heard the voice but she did not move from her place. She sat in silence as she continued hugging the body on her lap as if it was the most treasured thing in the world.

    Roy looked at the side profile of his boss in distress. As soon as Sherry had gone inside the mansion, Levian had ordered him to follow her. There was some sort of unease in his heart about the whole situation.

    [A few minutes ago, Outside the Lona Mansion]

    ¡°But boss, she said she did not want-¡± Roy had tried to reason with him but his boss had cut him off in between. He did not even let him finish his argument.

    ¡°We are going after her, and that¡¯s final.¡± Levian got off from the car and went inside the mansion is if it was his own area.

    Roy: ¡°¡­.¡±

    ¡°You are going to make her angry,¡± Roy warned him as he strolled right beside him. That girl had clearly said to leave things to her and here his boss was already breaking it. How could his boss be this shameless?!

    ¡°Heh,¡± Levian heard the warning but only a smile lit up on his face. Anger, it was also some sort of emotion. He would rather be looked at in anger than be looked at in indifference. Seeing as to how Sherry tried to treat him as a stranger did not sit right with him.

    ¡°Let her be angry,¡± he shook his head as he entered the house only to be met with a devastating scene.

    He had been in the line of business where life and death was put on line. Business itself was a gamble where you risked everything you had. Once glance at the body on the ground, he could tell what was wrong with the whole thing.

    ¡°She is dead,¡± Levian knew even that silly girl knew about this. She was a doctor after all.

    He waited in silence for her to show some action. He had no idea what kind of position the deceased old lady held in Sherry¡¯s heart but looking at the withered flower in front of him, he understood *she* was really important.

    ¡°Get up from the floor, you are going to catch cold,¡± Levian said in similar manner without much emotion. Roy widened his eyes in shock at what his boss just said.

    ¡®Can you please read the situation at the very least?!¡¯

    Ignoring the expression of his subordinate, Levian made his way towards Sherry in long strides.

 Chapter 30 - Acceptance

    Chapter 30

    What are you going to do now?! Inconsiderate boss!!¡¯ Roy panicked in his heart seeing that his boss was once again advancing to invade the private space of the lady. Of course, he did not have the guts to say that to his face. He still valued his life and his job.

    Levian stopped a few steps away from Sherry, whose back was turned to him. She was neither crying nor she was showing any sign of anguish and pain. Seeing her sit there motionless like that made Levian feel bitter in his heart.

    ¡°Stand up¡±

    ¡°I know.¡±

    A hoarse voice finally spoke up. It was Sherry who still was bowing down her head. She was looking down at the face on her lap but the expression on her eyes was hidden away by the shadow of her disheveled hair.

    ¡°I know she is dead, and I also know that I would catch cold if I keep on staying here,¡± Sherry said without much emotion. The fact that her voice was absolutely normal was the abnormal about this whole situation.

    Levian looked down at the round head of the girl and sighed, ¡°It¡¯s good that you know.¡± He leaned a bit down to pat her on her shoulder but stopped his hand in midair. ¡°Now stand up. I will call the ambulance for you,¡± he said as he straightened himself.

    There was silence once again.

    ¡®Is she going to have an outburst?¡¯ He thought as he dialed the phone number of the ambulance. Even after he was done calling, there was no sign of such.

    As soon as he was done calling them, Sherry finally raised her head a bit. She slightly turned her head to look at where he stood. She could only see his leg but that was more than enough.

    ¡°Thank you,¡± Sherry said weakly as she caressed the wrinkled skin on the face of the lady. Each stroke was filled with deep affection and care.

    Levian said nothing in response. It seemed to him that she still had something more to say to him. He looked at his watch. It was almost midnight.

    ¡®I will just hear her out, the registration can wait,¡¯ he nodded his head as he prepared himself to listen to the venting of some sad woman. The ambulance was going to arrive in five more minutes. He was not the best listener out there, but he definitely could hang on for five minutes.

    ¡°She died more than 7 hours ago,¡± Sherry said, her tiny frame trembling a bit. It was not winter but she was shivering as if a cold wind had penetrated through her heart and body. ¡°It was still daytime when she stopped breathing; it was still warm when her body got this cold.¡±

    Levian remained silent. Roy followed his boss and said nothing. He knew that the lady needed to let vent out her feelings.

    ¡°That is like around the same time I left the house earlier today,¡± Sherry said- her breathing getting shallower and faster every minute. ¡°She was smiling when I went to the hospital today, so tell me-¡± she paused abruptly.

    Her head shook a bit as she finally raised her head, her eyes meeting the deep black eyes of Levian for the first time after entering this mansion.

    ¡°Tell me why is she not smiling at me anymore? Tell me huh!!¡± she yelled out as he tightened her hold on the dead body of the old maid. Despite all these, she was trying not to cry, trying not to who her weakness.

    Even though her eyes were filled to the brim with salty waters, threatening to break the dam of the weak will and determination, she did not let even a single drop roll down her cheeks.

    ¡°She said she will cook my favorite dish for me, she said she would, she promised me!¡± Sherry stared at Levian with questions coming out of her mouth. She knew she was not going to get answers from Levian, that man who was looking at her with a gaze of indifference.

    She knew he was just an outsider but she¡­what could she even do? There was no one else whom she could ask these questions that were bubbling inside her heart.

    ¡°Tell me Nah..why is she this cold?¡± Sherry mumbled with a shiver. The cold body she was holding made her heartbreak into pieces that could never get back together.

    Seeing that Levian had nothing to say to her, Sherry lost the power to speak anything more. No matter how much she shouted at him, no matter how much she barraged him with questions that were unrelated to him, she was not going to get an answer.

    Because the one who was supposed to answer them and also the one who was guilty of making her feel this way was already gone. She had completely left her alone in this world.

    ¡°She is dead¡­ right? You said she was dead¡­¡± Sherry¡¯s weak voice reached Levian, finally making the indifferent gaze in his eyes turn to frown. He stared at the broken girl in front of him, the girl who managed to take him by surprise with her actions. He had known her for just a single day but he had seen so many sides of her, that it was simply too hard to digest all of them.

    Nevertheless, he hated this weak sight of her. He walked a few steps and crouched down on the floor. His eye level finally met her eye level.

    ¡°Yes, and if you want me to repeat it to you again, I can,¡± he said as he twirled his finger around the curls of her hair. He tucked the few strands of hair that were blocking her eyes behind her ears.

    Sherry watched him with unblinking eyes. She knew he was telling the truth and no matter how much she tried to deny it, it was not going to change the fact.

    ¡°So, she did leave me¡­¡± she cupped her face with both of her palms, tears slipping through the cracks between the fingers as she finally cried out in a sad voice.

 Chapter 31 - Lets Go In

    Chapter 31

    ¡°We will contact you soon,¡± a man in medical gear said as he looked at Levian and Sherry. He shook his hand with Levian before e he too mounted the ambulance. After closing the door, he and the ambulance went away.

    ¡°What are you going to do now?¡± Levian asked Sherry as they watched the ambulance take away the dead body. They stood at the entrance of the mansion without speaking. The silence continued until the ambulance had disappeared completely from their sight.

    The wind whistled past them- Sherry shivered a bit as she was just in a thin sweatshirt. Before she could react, she felt arms around her while warmth from a fabric surrounded her.

    Levian had taken off his coat and draped it around her shoulders. It was not much, but it was more than enough to block the wind. As for the previous question he asked her, he was not bothered by not getting answer from her.

    No matter what she decided to do, he was going to support her from sidelines. But that was in the contact of her agreeing to his side of contract. The situation was a bit different now. He had not foreseen this situation and he was pretty sure this will bring a drastic change in the contract they made.

    As to whether it was going to be a change that was favorable for him or not, he had to wait and see. A deep frown was engraved in his forehead as he got lost in his thought.

    Sherry tightly held the coats as she wrapped it around her. She took one last look at the road that the ambulance had taken. It was probably the longest she had started at something apart from the frog that she first dissected in her practical medical test.

    ¡°That frown doesn¡¯t suit you.¡± She said with a light chuckle, her gaze fixed on the face of Levian. Hearing her voice, Levian snapped out of his thought. He looked sideways-his eyes landed on the soft features of Sherry, which seemed a bit weak as in comparison to the girl in the wedding this morning.

    ¡°Are you not coming in, Mr. Smith?¡± Sherry said with a smile on her face. She turned around and started walking towards the house.

    Roy who had been standing a bit away from them nodded his head upon getting the confirmation from his boss.

    ¡°After you,¡± Levian said with polite gesture. He too turned around and followed closely after her with his fingers balled up into a tight fist.

    ¡®What a forced smile, does she think she is Movie Empress?¡¯ He sighed inwardly in his heart. Her smile back then could not fool even a blind man.

    **

    ¡°I still can not contact my uncle and aunt,¡± Sherry looked at her phone that still had a call ongoing. She had been trying to reach them for the last ten minutes. She was pacing around the room with a frown on her face. Levian could see she was getting impatient with each passing moment.

    ¡°Sherry, just clam down,¡± Levian said as he held her hand. He made her sit on the couch right beside him.

    ¡°But-¡±

    ¡°No buts, you are not fine right now,¡± he said as he patted her head. She had just received a big emotional trauma. Her actions were all based on the reaction and influence from that trigger.

    ¡®I am fine,¡± Sherry insisted with a small pout.

    ¡°No you are not.¡± Levian showed her the amount of time she had called those two people despite getting the knowing she was not going to get through.

    ¡°Well, cough, you know¡­¡± Sherry had nothing more to say. She just shrunk back in her couch feeling a bit tired. He was correct and her calmness was just a fa?ade she had kept. But there was nothing more she could do.

    With nothing to help her, she was stranded helpless as she got surrounded by countless uncertainties. She had just died but as soon as she was reborn the entire world around her, which she had thought was the truth came crumbling down in span of one day.

    Her family, her friend and her lover, everything she had in her life turned out to be fake. In this life, she was alive so she could take care of the last rites of her old maid. The heart attack was inevitable. Thinking about how she could might have been treated by her snake uncle and aunt, she felt cold all over again.

    ¡®If I had died today, there would have been no one who would have taken care of her even after her death,¡¯ Sherry could see the image of what would have happened in her mind. She was not sure if it was just an illusion she was seeing or it was the original fate of the old maid.

    ¡°Alright, stop with your weird thinking.¡± Levian blocked her wide opened eyes with his palm.

    ¡°Roy will be here soon, and we can get started,¡± Levian said in the same nonchalance. His voice was stern and unfaltering.

    Hearing what he said, Sherry stiffened a bit. She knew they had to talk about it sooner or later. Back in the hospital, she had agreed to help him to evade his marriage. She was going to act as his lover until his grandfather did not torture him to get married.

    In exchange, she had asked for nothing more. She wanted to let Chris and Bella live however they wanted. It was the final gift to both of them. She was going to see with her own eyes how daring were they to start a new family after all that had happened.

    As long as Levian helped her find a good lawyer to help her with getting the property from her uncle and aunt, she was content. She was going to cut her ties with them, take away the old maid and live in peace. But since she lacked any practical knowledge about legal things, she relied on Levian. It would be better to say she trusted the contract more than the person.

    But now, she was going to have to change a few things regarding it. The situation had, after all changed.

    Right at the moment, there was a knock in the door.

 Chapter 32 - Go On An Errand

    Chapter 32

    Knock Knock!

    There was a silent knock on the door. It pulled both Levian and Sherry back to reality. Levian raised his head to look at the door. Was it Roy? Sherry too looked at Levian in questioning gaze.

    ¡°Enter.¡±

    Upon getting the confirmation from his voice, the door opened with a creaking sound. Both of them immediately recognized the silhouette that stood in the door.

    ¡°Roy,¡± Both Levian and Sherry shouted out in unison when they saw him. When he had left, he looked perfectly normal. But now, there was something wrong about him.

    That red liquid on his forehead¡­was that blood? Sherry turned ghastly pale upon seeing the man stumble inside the room.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you injured?¡± Sherry asked in horror as he helped him inside the room. She beat Levian to it. Before he even had chance to help the guy in, Sherry had reacted to the man almost immediately.

    ¡°Hah,¡± a helpless sigh left his mouth. Whatever the situation, she was still sitting by her principles as a doctor. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.

    His expression immediately stiffened as he turned his attention to Roy. He had asked him to retrieve the CCTV footage to the hospital to see where the old uncle and aunt of Sherry had gone after leaving Bella there.

    They had not come home and they were also not in contact range at the moment. It was weird as they suddenly disappeared after their crimes came to the light. It was something simple. He had thought they were in hiding and waiting for the correct time to take care of all the things.

    But seeing as to how Roy had returned with injuries all over his body, he knew things were not as simple as it seemed.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Who attacked you?¡± Levian asked to be certain. There was other explanation to this as well. After all, he could have gotten into some sort of accident. But Roy¡¯s driving skill was top notch. He was enough witness to prove it. So there was no way he was in accident.

    That left the room for other possibilities. He got attacked but by whom was the question. He pretty much had many enemies around him but he doubted they would be foolish enough to attack his men when he was in power.

    ¡°No boss, I got in a small accident when returning back, there is nothing much about this,¡± Roy shrugged his shoulder showing an embarrassed smile. He was pretty much okay apart from the mild concussion on his head.

    Levian looked at him for a bit.

    ¡°If you say so,¡± he nodded his head. ¡°So, what were you able to find? Did you see trace of those two?¡± He asked. Sherry who had rushed into the room with first aid kit and cleaning his wound paused at the mention of her uncle and aunt.

    Levian had thought about this thing way earlier than he had. While she was caught up with her own troubles, Levian was thinking two steps ahead of her.

    Once again, she was in debt of him.

    ¡°Tha-¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me, I am just doing my part of job according to contract,¡± Levian stopped her before she could complete her sentence. ¡°You just do your job peacefully.¡±

    Sherry sighed and nodded her head. What was she? Just a small insignificant doctor who could do nothing more outside of her field of expertise.

    Roy looked at the girl who was cleaning hi wound.

    ¡°Thank you doctor means a lot,¡± he said with a smile which was accompanied with a flirtaous wink.

    Sherry let out a small scoff when she saw him being playful. The cut on his forehead was not that deep but it was not small either. Seeing that he was enduring the pain made her see Roy in a better light. She smiled at him, a real smile before continuing with her work.

    Levian saw her smile at Roy. The expression on his face distorted a bit as he thought about how she only gave him crying face and forced smile.

    ¡°Tsk,¡± he clicked his tongue in displeasure. He was not feeling jealous at all.

    ¡°Ow, doc, that hurts,¡± Roy cried out when Sherry slightly increased the pressure she was applying. Roy scratched his hair in an embarrassed smile. He was taken by surprise and could not help but yelp out in pain.

    ¡°Pfft, alright I will be gentle,¡± Sherry chuckled. Helping others with her own strength was something that always made her smile, no matter how shitty the circumstance was.

    ¡°Ahemm,¡± Levian coughed. Those two were lost in their own world and he was COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN by them!!!

    Roy stopped himself from smiling as he could feel the murderous aura that his boss was emitting. He took out the drive from his pocket and gave it to Levian.

    ¡°This is the CCTV footage that recorded the two couple rushing out of the hospital exactly at midday after bring in a pregnant patient,¡± Roy informed him. He had seen the footage before in the security room but he asked them for a copy of the entire thing just so he did not miss anything.

    Plus, if Levian saw it himself, he was bound to find more clues about what could have happened.

    ¡°Good job,¡± Levian said as he turned over the USB in his hand. Meanwhile, Sherry was finally done bandaging his head. She wrote something down in a paper and handed it to Levian.

    Levian looked in surprise at the paper he was given. He looked a bit confused as he looked at it.

    ¡°What is this?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a paper with list of medicine for him, buy them at the pharmacy,¡± Sherry said with a shrug as if it was a matter of fact.

    ¡°Since he is an injured patient, he needs to take rest. You buy them for him,¡± she said while taking off her surgical gloves. She sterilized the scissor and the other instruments in an antiseptic solution.

    ¡°Pfft,¡± Roy wanted to applaud Sherry for this. It was the first time someone had asked Levian to run an errand and not the other way around.

    Sherry saw him still standing and sighed.. His face looked mature and even his body was as good as sculpted but aiyo! He seemed unable to even go shopping by himself.
