Angelo was silent the whole time. All the things Sheri mentioned were all true. He can't say anything. After a while. Angelo talk.
"I want a second chance," Angelo said.
Sheri sigh again
"Mr. Fuente there's no second chance. It's already empty. You overused the chances, I have given you. So please don't make any of these harder. I am happy where I am now, and you should as well. Go and chase your beloved before they will get married. Sign that paper I send you and let's pretend that the promise of our forefathers were just a promise to break. I am happy we didn't do the actual ceremony that binds us forever. If I receive the paper that I send to you. We will perform the ceremony to break all ties. If you want, we can do the ceremony without signing those papers. Just give me the book of chants," Sheri said.
Angelo was silent the whole time.
Sheri looked at Angelo whose face can't be explained. Sheri frown.
"It seems you have done your homework," Angelo coldly said.
He stands up and walks closer toward her making Sheri lean backward.
Angelo leans toward her ear.
"I will never let you go. If I have to kill you and myself. I will do it." Angelo coldly said.
The moment she mentioned the unbinding chants he lost it. He was like a madman.
Sheri froze at her spot she knew this feeling, this fear, this chill that running through her spine. It's the same feeling she has about Eric.
Angelo's eyes turn from golden eyes to red eyes.
"I will do everything to make you mine. Mark my word so don't chase me out and if ever I see that paper I will make sure to burn it." Angelo angrily said.
"Now my wife don't run or hide anymore. Alright " Angelo softly spoke toward the frozen Sheri.
He draws close toward her and kisses her on her lips. After calming himself by kissing her he gently whispers in her ear.
"I'll see you soon my wife," Angelo said and turns around and leaves.
After a while, Sheri falls to her knees. This feeling makes her uncomfortable.
She starts hyperventilating. The fear she has for the two people came straight through her mind and bones. She felt scared. She saw her former life. How she suffered.
Ghani came and saw Sheri sitting on the floor looking empty. She felt shocked and panic. Ghani keeps on waking Sheri up, but she couldn't. She shakes her shoulder.
"Alana, Alana, what's wrong with you?" Ghani asked.
One hour ago when Ghani pulled Jack and bring him to another room.
Ghani turned toward him and was shocked. His face is so closed to her face.
She pushes him.
"Mr. Jack let's talk like grown-up people. I don't know why you are so interested in me. One thing for sure I am not and will not, be interested in a playboy like you. You have many beautiful women throw themselves at your feet. I am not one of them so if you could do me a favor stop what you're doing. Be a man for once and find yourself someone who can match your social standing. Do you understand me? "Ghani calmly said.
The whole time Jack keeps on smiling and nodding at her.
"Yes my love, you are beautiful and indeed I need to man up to bring you home and introduce you to my parents." Jack enthusiastically said.
Ghani grimace. "He's crazy." Ghani thought.
"I said.." before Ghani finished her sentence.
Jack already claimed her lips.
" Umm." moan Jack.
