Ice and Fire novel Chapter 887

"So many years have passed since your love for Jackson developed, haven't you yet gotten tired of trying to frame him?" Mond couldn't understand what Sally's motives were and so he continued to persuade her to change her mind, "You must know that Jackson had never loved you and the only woman he ever loved is and always will be Cherry! You repeatedly say that you love him, and if that is true then you should wish him happiness in his life, shouldn't you? Now he is living a peaceful and happy life, why are you trying to disturb him?"

"Because I did not get to live a happy life!" Sally retorted immediately. "Do you even have a small idea of what kind of a life I have lived? I am scared every day and remain in a state of apprehension every moment of my life. I fear that any fine day I would be either killed by the policemen or captured by the underworld gangs operating here. He abandoned me like he was throwing away a burden. Do you really think that I would want to wish him happiness?"

"If you had left the city to start a new life, I am sure that by now you would have started living a completely different life. You could have found another man, got married and had a child of your own. Life would have been beautiful, wouldn't it?" said Mond. He tried to help Sally change her mind and thus was encouraging her to move on, just like what he himself had done. He had changed completely from a cruel man who just wanted to take revenge from Jackson to a great father who always wanted to protect his family.

His words touched Sally's heart a little bit and her eyes softened as tears appeared in them. But they were very subtle and you couldn't notice them if you didn't take a closer look.

"It's useless! You know my only hope was and is Jackson. I can't live without him," Sally said while shaking her head. Since a young age, she had been in love with Jackson and that love of hers would never end. Her heart had been completely captured by him and even if she tried to forget everything, her heart would never give her permission to do so.

Mond was silent, not knowing what to say now. He had known about Sally's love for Jackson. She was just too stubborn! Now, Sally was back and she had ulterior motives in her mind, only she knew what she was planning and it would not be nice that he was sure of. She must have had someone powerful backing her, or she wouldn't be capable of creating so many problems here.

"Don't try to mess with the kids, okay? They are innocent!" Mond tried to be calm, trying his best to persuade her.

Sally shook her head while staring at the floor, muttering, "It's too late for that." She suddenly had a fierce look on her face and said, "I have planned for everything and it won't stop unless..."

"Unless what?" Mond asked anxiously. A glimmer of hope started to arouse in his heart and he eagerly looked at Sally for some chances of letting things go.

"Unless I die!" Sally said calmly.

Mond felt a pang in his heart and he wanted to say something, but words were failing him. 'Something must be done about this soon!' Mond sighed in his heart.

"You shouldn't have come back this time!" said Mond.
