Angelo is kneeling beside her bed. He looked like he's horribly tired. This is the first time Sheri saw a handsome vampire but looked terribly exhausted. His eyes radiate loneliness, unlike yesterday that it gives a feeling of proud, arrogant and cold man.
Sheri frowned while looking firmly at him.
Angelo looks at the beautiful face of Sheri. Even with a birthmark on her lovely face, she looked so beautiful. This is the first time he saw her up close. Angelo doesn't know anymore what to do. He is the leader of the vampire clan. He has a duty to carry, and he is the most respected of them all. He inevitably has to be proud, to be arrogant and to be cold for everyone to gain their respect. But to his wife those were different.
He tormented his brain the whole night when Sheri put him out of her house. Her words hit him hard. It awoke him from his delusions that he can still let her yield to him. He genuinely thought that he can still make her his, but he was absolutely wrong. She has already stopped liking him or even caring for him. He was undoubtedly a fool. Yes, a conceited fool.
Sheri was looking at his sorrowful eyes. She felt odd. It seems she's familiar with those eyes. She just can't figure out where and when and who.
Both of them fixated with their own thoughts while looking at each other.
Suddenly Angelo spoke gently and grasps her hand gently.
"I'm sorry for all the things I've said and done. I'm sorry, I neglect you and never treated you right. I am sorry you were being humiliated. I will never and will... " Angelo stopped from talking and caressed her face. He carefully holds her hand gently and reverently kisses it. And look at Sheri's eyes. He longs for her and wants her, but he knows what he did is unforgivable. He admits he falls for her. He is lost thinking he will lose her. While gently looking at her, he spoke gently.
"If you can't forgive me. Then I promise, I will let you go. If that will absolutely make you happy I will do it." Angelo said while choking. His heart starts to hurt.
Sheri allowed Angelo to grasp and caressed her face. She can feel his heartfelt sincerity and can see the profound sadness in his brilliant eyes. The great leader of the vampire for the first time has humbled himself in front of her.
Sheri is thinking carefully about what to do next. For her specific mission to get a divorce this is a good chance but her heart, but the kind heart of Alana still beats inside. If Alana is still alive. She would be naturally delighted and gladly forgives him, but she is Sheri, the one who is presently occupying inside of Alana's body. She's confused. She wanted to say "yes begone" but her body doesn't want to. Sheri is frowning deep inside.
"Alana, what do you really want?" Sheri speaks candidly in her thought. She looked at Angelo. After a while, Sheri spoke.
"I don't know Angelo. I don't know." That's what Sheri said. Yes, the mission said to divorce him. But why is her body reacting differently? Sheri thought.
"I will never force you anymore. I will wait for your decision. If you really want me to go and never appear in front of you, Alana, I will do everything you say just to forgive me."Angelo said gently.
"Without you, this life I don't want to live," Angelo said eagerly in his conscious thought. He indeed falls over heels for her.
On the other side, Ghani waked up. She slowly turns around to find Jack but Jack can't be found.
"Was yesterday a dream?" Ghani thought. Later she heard singing in her kitchen.
She wraps herself in the blanket and saw Jack standing glorious with his trouser on without a shirt. His pale masculine body is exposed. His 6 packs of muscles and a good body are exposed.
Ghani was gawking when Jack saw her. He smiles.
