Silver looked at her intriguingly. Sherry tried to avert her eyes. she can"t bear to meet his piercing gaze. He looks like he can kill anyone right now. Fear engulfed her whole body."What did you say?" Silver spoke indifferently.
"I-I …" her voice was breaking.
"Why are you asking that now?"
"Silver," Sherry gathered all the strength that she has. It"s a do it or break it for her. Still, she needs to know the truth.
"We"ve been together for how many years now. Although I do not have any memory about my past but I think it"s time for me to ask if we have a child or none."
"You!"
"Stop threatening me Silver! I am not a child anymore! I deserve to know the truth. Do we have a child? Where is my child?" she became hysterical.
Silver was taken aback. It was his first time to see Sherry acted like this. She"s serious!
"Sherry calm down!"
"I can"t unless you tell me the truth!"
"Sherry, you don"t have a child!"
"Liar! Then tell me, who is this child?" Sherry took the picture out and shove it on Silver"s face.
"You! where did you get that?" Silver was surprise.
"Where I got it is not important! Don"t ever lie to me or else I will find out who is this child on my own, silver!" Sherry didn"t know where she"d got her confidence.
"Sherry, that child… that child is long dead." He lowered his head.
"No!" sherry shed a tear. She"s sure that the child in her dreams was the same child in the picture.
"I didn"t tell you because I know it would be hard for you to accept it. I"m sorry." He stooped to embrace her.
Unknown to Sherry, Silver is now thinking of a plan. The doctor is right. It seems like the drug isn"t working at her anymore. he needs to find another drug, stronger than the other.
***It was already seven in the evening and Aisha wants to go home now. Sophie secretly texted Lisa if everything is all set in their end, unfortunately, they need an hour more.
"Aren"t you tired yet?" Aisha asked Sophie.
"Actually I am. But can we drop at Hunter"s shop first? I just need to get something there." she reasoned. Aisha raised a brow.
"Are you sure about that?" Aisha wasn"t sure if she heard Sophie right. She never wanted to see hunter at all after what happened to them before but why now?
Sophie understood Aisha"s tone. She herself doesn"t want to see hunter but she doesn"t have any other reason to stay in the city for an hour. Aisha isn"t that stupid not to notice Sophie stalling some more time. d.a.m.n that Ethan! She silently cursed.
"It"s okay." she smiled nonchalantly.
The two drove to hunter"s shop. Hunter was surprised to see the two ladies in front of him, especially Sophie. He knew how Sophie hated him. she never wanted to see him either so what"s the matter? why is she here?
He was looking at her intently but Sophie averted her eyes somewhere. She"s acting as if the man doesn"t exist.
"How may I help you?" Hunter asked Aisha.
"Oh it"s not me. Sophie said she needs to get something here." She explained. Hunter smirked.
"Oh, okay. How can I serve you miss?" Hunter"s sarcasm echoed in his words.
"Bow and Arrow. The latest model." Sophie indifferently uttered.
"What are you going to do with that?" Aisha inquired. As far as she remembers, Sophie is not good at using bow and arrow.
"It"s for a friend." She casually answered.
"Weyyy! Is it Curtis? He"s your only guy friend who"s good in archery. Is it for him?" Aisha teased her. Hunter heard it but he shrugs it off. he took the box where he placed the bow and arrow and placed it on the table.
"Here!" Hunter called them out. Aisha and Sophie walked towards him when suddenly they heard a woman"s voice who just came in.
"Hunter? Hunter...!"
The three looked at her direction. Sophie scrutinized the new arrived woman. She"s definitely pretty. Her dimples accentuate her beautiful round eyes when she smiles. She got curves but she"s small, she"s around 4"9 feet, maybe? Sophie creased a brow.
"Rizza!" Hunter called out and went near her.
"Hunter!" she swiftly embraced him, even hunter was surprised but smiled after.
"Rizza, what brought you here?"
"Hunter, guess what? father wanted to invite you tomorrow for dinner. You"ll come right?"
Hunter caressed his head, "Uhm, that…" Hunter didn"t finish his words when he saw an arrow heading towards them.
"Watch out!" he yelled as he pulled Rizza. they both fell on the floor. Rizza landed at Hunter"s chest.
"Are you okay?" Hunter checked Rizza who turned red like a tomato.
"Ehm, I am. Thank you!" Her dimples showed up when she smiled all out.
If looks can kill, then Rizza must have been dead by now base on Sophie"s murderous gaze. Hunter stood up and look at Sophie and Aisha"s direction. His definitely upset based on his facial expression.
Hunter stride towards them with disgust all over his face. Aisha gulped but Sophie casually inspect the arrow not looking at the young man. Hunter s.n.a.t.c.h the arrow from her hands.
"What do you think are you doing?!" his angry.
"Sorry, I slipped." She sarcastically raised a brow. Now the battle of the eyes begun. Both were looking at each other intensely. Aisha backed off.
"You could have hit her!"
"But I didn"t!" she yelled back.
"What if you did? Can you bring a life back?"
"Hunter, it"s okay. I"m okay…" Rizza tried to interrupt but it seems that no one heard her. She trembled, it was her first time to see Hunter got mad like this. But she smiled. Is it because he was so worried about her? maybe! Her heart skipped a bit.
"Why are you making this matter a big deal? She"s not shot! She"s not dead and she"s okay!" Sophie doesn"t want to back off.
"Did you come here just to mess with me?"
"Don"t think so highly about yourself! I told you I came here because of that bow and arrow!"
"Fine! I"ll send it to your address first thing tomorrow so you don"t have to come back here anymore. you might kill someone the next time you come." Hunter yelled before he went back to Rizza.
"Aisha, you better take your friend out of here." Hunter looked at Aisha who smiled apologetically.
"Let"s go." she whispered to Sophie. Sophie stride towards the exit door with heavy feet. She was totally mad and she doesn"t know why. She threw a murderous look at the woman beside hunter. Rizza shuddered in fear. What a dangerous woman! she thought.
"Sophie, calm down!" Aisha tried to comfort her friend who was sitting at the driver seat, looking intently at the two shadows in the shop. Silhouette of two people talking very closely can be seen on the gla.s.s wall.
Suddenly, Aisha burst in laughter. Sophie averted her eyes towards the woman who was grasping for air.
"What?" she glared at her.
"Hey! Look at you. I never thought i"ll see you like that. Now I believe that Jealousy can kill!" she kept laughing.
"Shut up! I"m not jealous! Why should I even care about that coward man!" If she could breathe fire, then Aisha must have been consumed already.
"Deny it all you want, hha." She chuckled. "Why don"t you just admit that you still love him? he"ll understand."
"I don"t love him! I hate him! ahhh!" she punches the steering wheel. "d.a.m.n that Ethan! If it is not because of his plan, then I should have not experience this! I"ll kill him once I see him!" she cried.
"Ethan?---- Plan? Sophie what was that?" Aisha creased a brow. Sophie suddenly jerked. Dang, slipped of the tongue!
"Sophie?"
"Ehh? Uhm…" she mumbles, "I think it"s time to go home." she feigned a smile.
