"She had a wild, wandering soul but when she loved, she loved with chaos and that made all the difference." --- Ariana***
The next thing she knew was that she"s already locked in a room without no way of escaping. It was not a part of her plan to blow off her secret to that mad man but she was not able to control herself especially when she heard that her daughter Stacy was ill, needing her help.
When she was about to get out from the house, Silver had already called her men to stop her by all means. But when she persisted, they had no choice but to carry her by force and locked her in the room where Stacy used to sleep.
They did have a heavy argument.
Flashback:
"I don"t know how you regain your memory but I"m sorry that I can"t let you go." Silver voiced firmly.
"How dare you do this to me!" she screamed. "I will never forgive you if something happens to my daughters." She threatened. "Just make sure that I won"t be able to escape in here or else, I will kill you." she glared at him.
Silver jerked when he saw how Sherry looks at him right now. it"s full of hate, contempt and condescension but the truth is, no words can describe how gruesome her stares are. He can"t take it so he exited the room and make sure to lock it as he a.s.signs two men to guard the door.
"Don"t ever let her get out of this room without my permission, understand?" Silver ordered them.
"Yes sir." The men nodded.
Sherry was clenching her fists as she pace back and forth. She needs to do something; she needs to get out from Silver"s grasp as soon as possible. She was in deep thought when she remembered someone. Demetrius! she yelled in her mind. Yes, Demetrius might be able to help her. However, she left her phone at Silver"s room. Fudge! Why does she feel so helpless right now? she fell on her knees weakly. Dang!
Meanwhile, Silver was about to go out when he received a call from Aisha.
"Yes?" he answered in an instant. he was smiling triumphantly. Seems like this darn woman have decided to steal the golden egg. then they decided to meet up but not at Silver"s house since he can"t risk Sherry meeting one of her daughter. Silver must be extra careful right now.
After a few hours, Silver and Aisha met at a private room inside a restaurant. Silver owned the place so they didn"t have a hard time accessing a private cozy room.
"So miss Mikasa, I believe you have already decided what you want to do and who you want to save out of the two most important person in your life, huh?" he chuckled.
His voice irritated the woman, but Aisha needs to control her urges.
"Mr. Gray, how am I supposed to get a stuff I haven"t ever seen all my life? you might want to describe that thing to me first?" Aisha spoke in a serious manner. Then after a few seconds, she heard the man laughed to his heart"s content.
"Ah, I believe your father Demetrius knew about it very well. didn"t he tell you about it yet?"
"Why should he?" Aisha responded. "I think my dad never thought that I would be needing it so he never discussed it to me ever. Why? are you perhaps suggesting that I should asked him about it?" she continued sarcastically.
"Don"t you wanna try?" Silver was testing her.
Aisha scoffed. "I thought you"re a smart guy but I guess I"m wrong." she leered. "If I asked him about the golden egg, do you think he won"t be suspicious? My father is a smart man. he can read in between the lines."
Then once again, Silver"s laughed echoed in the room. "Ah, I guess you"re smart even if you were just an adopted child. He sure did a great job of rearing you."
Aisha"s lips twitched. Silver doesn"t need to remind her that she"s just an adopted daughter. Guess he was trying to get on her nerves but she can"t lose her cool right now.
"I believe you don"t want to blow your cover so you should know that I can"t asked my dad about your golden egg. But you can tell me directly if you haven"t seen the mysterious egg ever. I won"t judge you." she smirked.
"You sure have a sharp tongue. I guess traits can be pa.s.sed down too just merely observing." He laughed. "Anyway, yes, your right. I haven"t seen how it really looks like but I heard that it was literally a golden egg. that was just the outer appearance, but the most important there was what"s inside."
"What"s inside it?" Aisha seemed to be interested.
"That, you don"t have to know about it. your only job is to deliver the stuff to me safely."
"And how about the deal?" she probed.
"Sherry? Don"t worry, I am a man of my word. I will give her to you as soon as you hand me the golden egg." he smirked. "I"ll give you a week for this a.s.signment."
"Two weeks. Give me at least two weeks. If what you said about Ethan keeping it was true, then you should give me more time."
"Why do you need such a long period of time? With your current relations.h.i.+p, I"m sure he trust you more than anyone." Silver was a bit dubious.
Aisha creased her brow. This man certainly knew a lot about her. Is she possibly being followed secretly? She thought.
"Seems like you know a lot of things about me, huh." She sneered. "I"ll be having a hard time since he broke up with me. But that shouldn"t be a problem."
"So I guess you have chosen blood over love, huh." He laughed. "Okay, I"ll give you two weeks then."
After their conversation, Aisha left immediately. She needs to plan her next step. She can"t visit her sister for the meantime, she"s sure that Johnny had been watching over her and if there"s any problem, he will contact her for sure.
She got off her car then went inside the mansion. To her surprise, she saw a familiar young lad playing with Archie and Rio in the Sala.
"I can"t still believe that Caleb has a daughter for so long." Rio said to Archie.
"Sahaya?" Aisha yelped as soon as she reached them.
"Aunt Aisha?!" the young lady was more surprised.
"You know each other?" Rio and Archie asked in unison.
"Yes, just a short time though. She was Eli"s friend." Aisha answered. "Why are you here?" she asked Sahaya.
"Because Grandpa said I will be staying here starting today." she innocently answered.
"Grandpa?" Aisha looked at Archie then to Rio. "Is she perhaps Caleb"s…."
"You know my dad too?" Sahaya was surprise.
"He is my best friend."
"Wow! So daddy has a lot of beautiful friends huh. I also met aunt Lisa this morning." She was smiling.
Aisha was more confuse now. but Archie a.s.sured her that he will explain everything to her later. But for now, Rio wanted to talk to her for the meantime.
"Daughter, can we talk for a while?" Rio stood up.
"S-Sure…" then Aisha followed him inside his study room. There was an awkward silence for a few seconds then Rio suddenly face her.
"Aisha, I know you met Silver today." it was a statement and not a question. Aisha was stunned but she gathered herself altogether.
She lowered her head. "Dad, about that… I need to tell you something…"
