**************Warning: Don't throw your phone, tablet etc. when you read this chapter and the next chapter and the next. ?****************************

Devon drives toward the apartment of Janice. He saw Janice sitting on the floor embracing a small teddy bear and crying.

"I was supposed to present this to our child, but who knew he or she would be gone." Cried, Janice

Devon slowly draws near her and embraces her.

"Don't worry I will make sure. That woman will pay for what she has done."Devon gently said.

He stayed there comforting her while comforting her flashes of a woman crying and frantically shouting came into his view. She seems she's begging for anyone to help a man who is wounded and bath in blood. The man was trying to touch the woman who is shouting, but his hand went through her face. Fast forward, another image flashes. Both were embracing and slowly the man vanished leaving the woman frantically calling the man.

Devon starts to sweats while the image of the woman starts to fade.

He looked at Janice who is crying and tried to help her first. Afterward, he walks directly to the bathroom to wash his face. He looked at the mirror. The image of the guy who is lying in the pool of blood seems to appear in the mirror. Devon was looking at himself with blood all over. He massaged his temple thinking it might just an illusion. He tried composing himself but again his chest twist in pain when he recalls the woman who is frantically calling. He sits in the toilet and tries to relax.

After calming himself. He went back to where Janice was.

After Janice cried. Devon asked her.

"Did you eat already?"

Janice shakes his head. "No, I was waiting for you," Janice said.

"Alright, go take a shower and I will make food," Devon said.

Janice nodded and went to have a shower.

Devon went toward the kitchen and starts preparing to prepare a soup.

When he was finished preparing. Janice embraces him at his back.

"I never knew you can cook," Janice said.

Right then it hit Devon. He was still for a second.

"Me too I never knew I could", that was his thought.

"Sit down, and I will bring the food," Devon said. While picking up the bowl of soup. Images flashed in his mind again of a woman whose face is still vague eating. He was, nevertheless, put down the bowls at the dining table. His hand starts shaking, but he composes himself.

He looked at Janice who is smiling while drinking the soup. The smile is not the same as the woman in his dream. It's driving him crazy.

On the other side of the town. Sheri was doing yoga outside her port she just wears a loose t-shirt and baggy pants.

On the veranda, she can view the house of Eric and some of the curtains are open she can see the inside of it.

She saw Eric is staring at her, but Sheri keeps it cool and simply waves at him. Eric on the other stayed in his place giving no reaction to what Sheri did. Sheri just shrugged and continues with what she did. The yoga post she's doing is not seductive, to not deliver a suspicion that she is trying to seduce him.

Sheri's plan has to be done as soon as possible. It is now or never. After 4 months Sheri's body has significantly transformed in a way that she can face them head-on. With the little bit of the knowledge, she has in her missions and what she did in the last month; it is already enough she is ready to fight.

After doing a yoga Sheri went shopping she knows someone is following her so she makes sure the men will be confused. She wears another wig a long hair. The same length that she had before. She put her usual makeup and at the same time another outfit. She wanted to show the fugitive is living well. Sheri made a photo of her self and put it in an envelope and sends it to Eric and Devon.

"It's time," Sheri said to her self.

"Host, Are you sure of what you want." The human-robotic asked.

"System, Thank you for your help and also your boss. I need to do this. It's either them or me. I have paid my dues in my old world. I have also secured my family. I have made all the preparations in case I will go."Sheri was determined to end her situation once and for all. Living the life of a fugitive is not easy, and she will not also be easily be captured by them. She will fight until her last breath.

After another day the letter with the picture of Sheri arrived at Eric's house.

"If you want to see me. Come by your self-Alone. If your man enough." Sheri wrote with an address on it. Sheri wanted to confront Eric first before she will confront Devon. If she dies on his duel with him so be it.

Eric smiles when he received the letter. His speculation is right. She will reveal her self, in due time. This time it's not the bimbo Sheri but a different one.

"Sheri Hoal. Hmm"Eric was smiling while smelling the letter Sheri wrote. The smell he cannot forget. The time she bumps him and the smell of the letter confirms his speculations. One thing that Sheri didn't know about Eric is. He is very sensitive when it comes to smell.

Sheri already prepared the meeting place; an abandoned houseware. She set so many traps in case Eric will still bring his men. She had planned this for 2 months, and everything is ready.

She dresses up in black. A black and stretchable pant, rubber shoes and a shirt with a leather jacket. She put her gun at her back with a knife in her calf and thigh.

"Let the party begin," Sheri is already prepared and was waiting for Eric at the warehouse.

Eric arrived in his Porsche car. He leisurely walked toward the warehouse.

He walked inside. In the middle, a seat was prepared for him. He lit a cigarette and went to sit down.

"The great Copper came by himself alone. Tsk!"Sheri said while opening a light. She was scratching her knife at the wall of the warehouse. It does make a horrible noise.

Eric just keeps on blowing a cigarette while looking at her.

"Since your a military and has a high status in the society so as I. The law among our kind is when I challenge you, and if one of us win. The loser will do whatever the winner asked. Life or death doesn't matter. This time I challenge you, one on one. You love your precious Janice, and my stupidity bought me here. Do you accept my challenge?" Sheri asked.

Eric kills his cigarette with his shoes and puts his finger on his chin.

"You're already dead so why do you think I agree," Eric said.

"Tsk, Which eye do you think I'm dead. I know you're a man of integrity, and you love to torment people. I know your hideout and know your secrets." Sheri said.

"hahaha, you amaze me ms. Sheri, challenge accepted."Eric said. Eric is not surprised by the change that occurs in her. He knows she can find out something about him. He is just wondering where she got all those pieces of information from.

In no time Sheri runs toward where he is sitting and tried to point the knife toward him. But Eric did a flip and let the chair be his shield. Sheri tried to kick him but Eric evades her straight kick.

Sheri didn't stop attacking, and Eric still keeps on evading her attacked. He was surprised by how good and accurate her ways but the way she is acting now seems like she is not the Sheri Hoal that he knows. In his mind. He can see her style seems like she was trained her whole life. No one can easily attack him in nearby. He was startled when she can easily wield a knife like an expert.

He found an opening and grabbed her wrist, and Sheri was locked in the embrace of Eric.

Eric smells her hair and was a bit distracted It is a smell that seems to calm him. He couldn't figure out where and when did it happened that her smell attracts him. Sheri saw the distraction and twists her body and was supposed to slash Eric but Eric evaded her attack and his suit is the only one that was cut.

Eric starts to smile. He likes the feisty woman in front of him.

He removed his suit and loosens his necktie. He positions himself.

This time Eric is the one who is doing an attacked and Sheri was the one who is avoiding every move he makes.

Eric for the second time captured her hand and locks it again. When he wanted to smell her again, Sheri shoved her head to knock his head.

He saw her movement and shifts his head. Sheri got the gun at her back and pointed to him.

"It's over you lose," Sheri said.

Eric put his hands up and laughs. But in a second he kicks her hand that is holding the gun and Sheri accidentally release the gun. Sheri was supposed to dive toward the gun but Eric immediately catch her and both of them were lying. He immediately locked her hand above from her head and Eric comfortably looking and smiling at Sheri. Sheri tried to get out of his grasp but She couldn't. Meaning she lost.

"You win now, get off me," Sheri said while looking at Eric.

"Be my woman," Eric said while drawing his face toward Sheri.

"What the... I better die than to be your woman."Sheri was shocked at first but recovered immediately.

"Who are you?" Eric asked while his brows knitted together.

"What do you think?"Sheri said.

"You're not Sheri Hoal."Eric said it was impossible Sheri will change this good. Eric thought.

"That woman is stupid."Eric further said

Sheri laugh

"I am Sheri Hoal in flesh whether you like it or not," Sheri looked at him in the eye.

Eric was silent and scrutinizes the face of Sheri. Indeed, it was her but her eyes have no more the sparkles that every time he will saw her. She has the eyes that says it all. A prick in his heart when he did not see it.

"Since I won, fulfill my request to become my woman." Eric further said.

"Tsk who told you, you won,"Sheri said while putting her knee up a knife was pointing at the crouch of Eric.

Eric released her and got up from her.

"What do you want?" Eric said and lit up a cigaret.

"pull out your men. This is between the Goori and me. You can have Janice after I defeated Devon." Sheri folds her hands and looks him straight in his eyes.

Eric laughs when he heard her. He walked toward her while smoking a cigarette. He stands in front of her and blows the smoke at her side.

Sheri didn't flench or move aside. Suddenly Eric clasps her waist and kisses her lips.

Sheri was shocked and before she bites him. Eric releases her.

Sheri was angry and was supposed to stab him, but Eric holds her hand.

"Don't kill your husband to be." Sheri was again flabbergasted.

" phe! Dream on Mr. Cooper. I won so deal is a deal."Sheri said.

Eric just laughs.

"Whatever you say darling." and Eric released her.

" and Eric released her
