He warily stared at the woman who was walking among the crowds. Wait! this woman! he cursed. Silver knew that something was not right since Sherry acted suspiciously earlier. he was trying to figure out what she"s up to, but by the time he nearly figured out, Sherry went missing.This woman! she had something to do with Sherry"s disappearance. He was sure of it. he walked towards the woman who seems to be looking somewhere. The woman halted when Silver suddenly stood in front of her.
She looked at him indifferently, acting as if she knew nothing about what"s happening.
"Oh look who"s here!" Aisha smirked mockingly. "If it"s not the deceitful man who doesn"t know what integrity is."
"Aisha… Is it really a coincidental incidence that you"re here?" Silver cynically replied.
"I guess. Cause if not, then why should I deliberately come to see you?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
"Who knows? especially that someone"s life is on the line? Don"t you also think that abducting someone could save a dying woman?" he was trying to get on her nerves.
"Silver, I"m not sure what you"re trying to say. But as much as I know, I"m here to buy some personal stuffs." She glared.
"You think I"m gonna buy that lame reason?" Silver smirked. "Why should a well-abled woman chose this pathetic mall over the Saphiro mall to buy some stuffs?"
"Why? don"t I have the right to choose the mall that I wanted to visit? Am I not allowed to enter this mall?" she was tough.
"Isn"t it a bit odd?" Silver inched closer. "Seeing you here when my wife went missing? It"s definitely suspicious."
Aisha heaved a sigh. "You know what, you can think whatever you want. As for me, I need to buy the stuffs that I needed. So please excuse me." she glared. She was about to turn away but Silver blocked her.
"And where do you think you"re going?" he uttered murderously. His men started to surround her. Aisha sensed the impending danger so she tried to think of a possible escape. But they"re inside the mall. Will Silver intend to take her by force? Well, Aisha won"t go with him without a fight.
Aisha smirked. "So I guess you"re planning to abduct me in exchange of Sherry, huh?"
"You"re smart." Silver laughed evilly. "Let"s see who will Rio chose to save. You or that woman?"
"What a crooked mindset!" she clenched her fist. "Don"t you dare touch me, or else!"
"Or else what?" Silver whispered and walked pa.s.s her. then he cued his men to get her by hook or by crook.
Two men was about to touch her but then Aisha struck them swiftly. Now they were lying on the floor. Other men saw what happened so they immediately attack the woman who was about to get away. They surrounded her as soon as they closed their distance.
The commotion caught the people"s attention but no one dares to help the poor man. some thought that they were just filming and so they also brought their phones out to take some photos and videos of the woman fighting alone against the big men in black. The woman was pretty enough to be an actress so it"s possible that there are hidden cameras somewhere around the mall, recording every scene.
The woman was pretty exhausted. It"s painted all over her face. She tried to run from the exit point but the men were able to catch her in no time. one man tried to hit her but she held his hand and twisted it behind him but suddenly, Aisha slowly fell on her knees. What had just happened?
Fudge! Someone struck her on the neck! She lost her consciousness and the last thing she remembers was a man carrying her as Silver orders.
After a few minutes, Ethan slowly parked his car at Rio"s garage. Ethan came out and opened the pa.s.senger"s seat. Sherry came out and followed the young man inside.
They went upstairs to see Rio but Ethan halted when his phone rings. "Miss Sherry, please get inside. I just need to answer the call."
"Thank you." she kowtowed. As soon as Ethan"s shadow was nowhere to be found, Sherry gently knocked on the door.
"Archie!" she suddenly exclaimed when the door was opened.
"Miss Sherry, please come inside." He invited her in. Sherry shyly entered. As soon as she stepped inside, she saw a man"s silhouette facing the window, gazing at the sky. Archie deeming to feel the atmosphere excused himself and leave the two people.
As soon as the door closed, Rio slowly turned to face the woman who was looking down the floor. Awkward silence engulfed the room.
Sherry"s overwhelmed emotions are too much for her to handle. First was seeing her daughter Erika and second was to see Rio. she had encountered him a lot of times in the past but that time, she doesn"t have any idea as to who he was. but now, she"s standing in front of the man whom she left a few years ago as her—Cherry-Ann.
"Rio…" she muttered. She doesn"t know how to strike a conversation since it has been a long time since they last talk. Also, she doesn"t know what to say.
She saw the man"s feet walking towards her and stopped in front of her.
"Is it really you? Cherry-Ann Lee?" his voice was filled with mixed emotions. The woman nodded in confirmation, then tears started to gush from her eyes.
To her surprise, Rio cupped her with his big toned arms. Sherry was now leaning against his chest. his scent, it"s still the same. Oh man, how she missed him! her tears streamed like a river and Rio didn"t let go of her. they stayed like that for a couple of minutes, no other words, just mere body language. And for the first time in forever, Sherry felt safe in the arms of the man she truly loves.
After a few minutes, they broke away from each other. Sherry calmed down and was able to gather herself once again.
"I"m sorry. but thank you for everything." She softly uttered. Rio was rendered speechless at the moment; he was just staring at the fragile woman in front of her.
"Do you know how much I missed you?" he finally voiced his long-time thoughts. "And how happy I am to know that you"re alive?"
Sherry was dumbfounded to listen to what he just uttered. she never expected to hear it from Rio. she was more expecting a harsh dressing-down from the man. won"t he asked anything? Won"t he ask why she suddenly left without a word? Won"t he ask anything about everything that had happened in the past?
"Missed me so much?" the words kept ringing in her ears over and over again. This man is destroying the composure that she had redeemed earlier. doesn"t he know how she misses him too? All those years, despites marrying Cole, Rio was the man her heart constantly yearn for. There was never a day that she never thought about him. oh, how she misses this man!
Tears started streaming from her eyes again. She staggered back since her knees started to tremble. Good thing Rio held her waist swiftly.
"I-I"m very sorry, Rio… I"m sorry!" she lowered her head. "I really don"t want to leave, but I didn"t have a choice back then… I got carried away and I was afraid… I was afraid that----""
Sherry didn"t finish her statement since Rio captured her lips. she was caught off guard, her eyes widened in shock! Oh man, how she misses his wild, pa.s.sionate, soft lips brus.h.i.+ng against her. then she closed her eyes and finally kisses him back.
"I miss you too." She whispered beamingly before they continued savoring each other"s lips. they must have miss each other badly that it took them how many minutes on their make out session.
