Eric walks toward the seat that was flip and put it straight back. He brings out his stick of cigaret and lit it up. He blew out the smoke.

Sheri, on the other hand, is tapping her clothes that were covered with dust. She looked at him and pick up the gun and pointed the gun to his direction.

"You know that pointing a gun is not good." Eric blew his cigarette while looking at her.

"If I will kill you now my problem will be solved," Sheri said and shoot at his side.

Eric didn't bulge nor frightened.

"Hahaha, your damn sexy when you do that.... Don't forget your family ms. Sheri." Eric said while puffing the smoke.

Sheri stop from what she was supposed to do next. Eric saw it. He knew her weakness was her family. Nevertheless, he wanted to know what she wanted.

"So tell me, what do you want," Eric said while looking at Sheri.

"Get your men off from my family and me," Sheri said.

"Deal in one condition," Eric said.

"What?" Sheri's brow knitted together and put the gun in her back.

"Date me and stay in my house," Eric said.

When Sheri heard it, she laughs so hard. After laughing for a while Sheri looks at Eric who is quiet and relax on the other side.

"Your joking right?" Sheri asked.

"We all know miss Sheri that I won whether you like it or not. Date me and stay at my house is all I'm asking. I won't touch you nor do something that you don't like in fact I will even shelter you from the Goori."Eric said.

Sheri was flabbergasted with what she heard this is something that she didn't foresee.

"What if I said no," Sheri said,

"Your family is on a stake. I can guarantee their safety I think right now, the Goori has already found them. He will use everything to get to you, if you know what I mean." Eric said and kills his cigaret.

"How do I know you will keep them safe?"Sheri asked with one of her eyebrows raised.

"If you say yes I will call my men to move them ASAP and you can talk to your parents. Time is ticking ms Sheri. My last informant said the men of Goori are on their way to your family."Eric said.

Sheri felt a shiver in her bones the moment she thinks about what will happen to her family. Flashes of images of what happened to her family in her old world make her fear inside. She doesn't want anything will happen to them. Not even a single hair will be touched by her enemy. If she has to sacrifice again her feelings or wants, it is fine. She doesn't want to see again any suffering from her parents or her siblings. Enough for one lifetime.

"Deal, but I want to talk to my brother."Sheri already makes up her mind. What he is asking is to just stay there with him and date him. At least he doesn't force himself to her. Date him, piece of cake. As long as no marriage, etc. is involved.

Eric smiles and gets his phone and calls his men. Sheri was waiting the whole time, and Eric handed her the phone.

"Your brother," Eric smile.

Sheri immediately grasps the phone and asked how they are. Sven said they were being moved out by the men of Eric to a safer place. He doesn't trust them But Sheri calms him down and asks him to cooperate with the men of Eric. His brother was adamant.

"What did you do this time? Did you sell your soul to him?" Sven was shouting at the end of the phone.

Sheri's ear was a bit hurt with his brother's shout. Sheri put the phone a bit further from her ear.

"When you come back, I will explain everything." Sheri tried her best to calm him.

"You better be. I even kidnapped Mom and Dad just to bring them here. Furthermore, Dad is very worried about you. We didn't tell Mom what happened. But how are you doing? I follow the news abroad and saw your name as a wanted. " Sven was still worried about her, and he on the other side of the phone is very skeptical of what is happening. He is a bit nervous when he saw soldiers surrounded their house. He prepared his gun. He even asked Ric to bring everyone underground in the house. He was willing to die to protect his family. He was waiting at the door when suddenly he heard the voice of Sheri in the loudspeaker. He opens the door and immediately gets the phone from the hand of the soldier.

"I am ok. Trust me. Our family will be safe and me too." Sheri calmly convinces his brother.

After the talk, Sheri handed the phone back to Eric and Eric further instructed his men.

After talking Eric closed his phone and pick his jacket on the floor and look at Sheri.

"Shall we? Eric smile while looking at her who is a bit daze. Sheri was thinking so many scenarios.

What if this is Eric's plan to lure her whole family. Nevertheless, one way or another she cannot outrun the two men who are chasing her. She will think of another plan to make sure their safety. Sheri looked at Eric who is smiling at her.

"Can you stop smiling, it gives me cringe," Sheri said toward Eric while walking outside of the abandoned Wearhouse.

"hahaha, You really amazes me."Eric smiles more.

Sheri was supposed to walk to her own car, but Eric stops her and leads her to his own car. Sheri didn't protest.

The deal is a deal as long he doesn't go overboard its fine for Sheri.

Sheri is looking at Eric. While Eric was looking ahead of the road.

"Did you fall all over again toward me?" Eric asked.

Sheri laughs when she heard him.

"Never, I am just wondering the last time I meet you. You said you will gauge my eyes out and now you want that I date you. What made your heart change Mr. Copper? You even try helping me. So tell me how come you become a human being?"Sheri directly asked Eric.

Eric all the time was smiling.

"What if I told you that I wake up one day and was already in love with you." Eric seriously said.

"That's a b******t."Sheri said, she wouldn't buy what he said.

"Well you ask, I answer," Eric said.

"Whatever, any way you can tell me your reason or not. It's your choice as long you will be true to your words." Sheri said.

Sheri can see the smile of Eric is very different from the smile she once knew.

"Your house is bugged. I already asked someone to burn everything. Since I don't want that you will carry something that is bugged. You can use your name again ms. Hoal after I will deal with that stupid woman. In the meantime, stay low I will clear your name soon. And also, the papers you got from the hospital and the book you got from the police officer are all safe." Eric seriously said.

Sheri was shocked when she heard those words from Eric.

"What The F*** how come there's a bug in my house and how did you know. Stop the car." Shouts Sheri.

Eric stops the car at the side of the road. Sheri gets out and slams the door and curse. She was furious. She was so careful about everything. The way she moves was all planned to perfection.

Sheri went inside again after cursing and being so angry at her self. She thought she's already smart enough but nope still she is not yet good enough.

Sheri look at him

"How, how did you know?"Sheri angrily asked.

Eric Shrugged

Sheri massaged her brow.

"Why is that she cannot overpower these two men in her world and also in the punishment world." Sheri is trying to calm her nerves.

"So I guess you already confirmed that the woman you once loved was hmmm.... how to term it... two-faced? So tell me Mr. Copper, how does it feel to be lied upon and be lied upon? Does it feel good?" Sheri sarcastically said while smiling. She wanted to see his reaction and she was glad that she can see it.

Eric was quiet and smile but not the smile that he gives to her. It's the same smile that he gave in her past life when he was torturing her. Sheri shivers, she knows Janice will not have a good ending.

When Eric found out the truth about Janice. He was skeptical at first but when he read the report that Sheri got and confirm it with the doctor whom she paid. He was furious. He felt stupid that he was being manipulated by that woman. He wanted to kidnap her to give her a good lesson but in his mind, he is waiting for an opportunity. Since Janice's accident, Devon has given the best of the best soldier to protect her. It's uneasy to penetrate, but he will take it easy. He will wait and in due time a wonderful present will be given to her.

Eric didn't say anything and start the car and drive toward his home. Sheri didn't ask anymore. She really doesn't care. Arriving at their street. Sheri looked and indeed the house she bought two months ago is burning.

On the other side of the town. Devon was done comforting Janice and Janice is now sleeping. He went toward her couch and took a nap. Again another dream came he saw a woman whose face is blurred and walking in the aisle. She dresses up so beautifully. He looked at the people around him they are all smiling toward him. He looked at himself and his wearing a tuxedo.

The bride was leisurely walking toward him and yet he cannot see the woman's face. He automatically received her hand and when the priest asked.

"Should anyone here present know of any reason that this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace" A man raised from his seat and said yes. He has a gun and shoots the woman next to Him. His heart starts to be still for a second. When she slowly falls, he immediately catches her.

A jolt awakened him from his nap. He felt his cheek is wet. He felt pain in his heart and started to wipe the tears in his face. He immediately went out and goes back to his office.

He cannot take anymore what is happening toward him. Day after day he dreams of that woman. He tried to think perhaps that is Janice but no matter how he wanted to shift his feeling it's never her. He is almost losing control. His hearts frantically keeps on beating.

That day he calls his one of his psychiatrists and consults him, but his psychiatrist said he was just thinking that person over and over again.

Devon knew that was not the case hence the woman's face cant be seen. His subordinate came when he was in deep thought.

He handed him a folder.

"This is what sir. Kenzo sends this morning," his subordinate said.

Devon looks inside the folder it has a USB and note on it.

"I think I fell in love. She is one of a kind. I want her. In exchange for whatever you want."The note said.

Devon's face was twisted. He doesn't know what Kenzo is saying.

Devon plugs the USB on his computer.

He looked at the file and all of it was the videos of Sheri inside her house.
