Chapter 105-Sherry’s POV- Present
” What nonsense! How can he be gone? What do you mean? ”
We were mid-air, when Ryan received the information.
” I was kind of expecting it. He was taken out of the hospital. They caught two men escorting him out in the surveillance camera. Their faces were covered and they both wore black hoodies… ”
” So they couldn’t be identified… ”
It had come as a shock to know that my father possessed something valuable like that sword K had brought . And now to learn about him being kidnapped was another thing.
It was starting to feel like I didn’t even know myself, my own self.
I sank back into my seat as the chopper turned around. I didn’t bother to ask Ryan. I was no longer interested. There were creatures who weren’t human, like Ryan, living within our society. Beasts that roamed free. Would my father be safe in such a world? I couldn’t help but worry.
” Where are we headed? ” I finally asked.
Ryan didn’t answer. He seemed lost in his thoughts as well.
When we got off the chopper, I understood that we were headed towards Chong’s place.
” Did you look up the things I asked you to do previously? ”
Ryan asked as Chong smiled at me.
” Yes, I did and Ryan, your intuitions were correct. It was all related. The disturbances, the sorcery, the ones that kept interfering in your business… it can all be traced to a single den. ”
” Where is it? ”
Ryan’s eyes were twinkling with wild excitement.
” I couldn’t pinpoint the location. But it is somewhere in the Northern ocean and… ”
Chong paused, looking a little hesitant at me.
” And what Chong. It’s alright, you can tell in front of Sherry. ” Ryan said.
” And they possibly aren’t human. ” Chong added, very concerned.
” And what about her father? Were we able to trace his kidnappers yet? ”
Ryan asked.
“Beck and Josh are onto their trail. They were last spotted at the ferry. You should be hearing from the boys about it. ”
Ryan nodded and turned to leave through the door.
I grabbed his arms in a desperate attempt.
He looked back at me with wonder in his eyes.
” Don’t you dare leave me Ryan Bane. ”
I didn’t actually say that but my eyes did the talking.
” You know I can’t take you where I am going. That place would definitely not be safe for humans. Did you not hear what Chong said? Bellow will be here any moment. He will keep you company. ”
” No! ” he thought he could get rid of me so easily. Well, that was not happening. ” My father is out there. I must be there with him. I am coming whether you take me or not. ”
Ryan heaved a sigh and I could tell Chong and he shared a sly smile or something.
” Alright! If you scream, I will throw you in the ocean immediately. The sirens wouldn’t like competition in their territory. ”
He grabbed my hand and pulled me to the car which had been waiting.
I was just wondering if sirens were real in the world where we were headed but just then, Bellow came waving at me.
” You get back home. ” Ryan ordered him, at which his smile dropped.
” I will be back soon. It’s not safe for kids where we are going. ”
I whispered back at him as Ryan , literally lifted me up and locked the car door on his face.
We drove at lightning speed and within a few minutes, we were boarding a sophisticated looking boat.
As soon as it left the lands, Ryan suddenly yelled on top of his voice , ” Bellow! How dare you defy my order. Did I not tell you to head straight back home? ”
At first I couldn’t understand why he was shouting and then I saw Bellow, timidly getting out from the bottom dock.
I knew I had to step in.
” Please let him be, he might have been worried about me. Please Ryan. ”
My eyes were shut as my hands stretched as I tried to cover Bellow with my body.
I was expecting another round of yelling from Ryan but nothing happened. The rest of the day passed as eventless. There was food, clothes , some good wine and there was the silence of the vast sea. Ryan had not come out of his cabin since he went in.
I finally decided to check on him.
Knock! knock!
“May I come in… ”
His cabin reeked of liquor and he was in the same state that I had seen him in the day we had first met. As a sex worker and a client.
As soon as I walked in I saw that he had been crying. His face had prominent tear streaks but looking at the barrels of alcohol he had just emptied, I doubted if he was in his right senses.
” Sherizad… ” His lips mumbled my name just like he had done on that first night.
A rush flooded my entire system.
He stumbled as he tried to stand up and I instinctively found myself rushing forward to give him my shoulder.
He smiled as his palm brushed over my hair. He looked at me with such tender care.
” Sherizad… You came back. You came back like you promised. Don’t you ever leave me behind again… ”
His eyes were oozing and I found my own eyes getting wet as well as I reassured his tired heart.
Suddenly he grabbed me by my waist and scooped me up, bridal style.
The table he was crying on was completely clean. There was nothing on it except a few more empty liquor bottles, which he swept clean with his knees.
He placed me on the table top as gently as if I was a leaf. I could already feel my insides tumbling and jingling.
And the moment he began tracing his fingers over my dress, I completely lost it. A moan left my lips as I bit to control it.
” You are mine Sherizad… ” He was talking again, mumbling. ” You are mine and mine alone. ”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
And with that he grabbed my hard and began kissing my lips madly.
My hands went behind his ears and my fingers were fondling his hair. His body was half way bent over me and I was absolutely loving the pressure that was building.
