Charles dashed into Ryan's office to meet him, but found that Ryan was already left, he was so frustrated, he was trying to call Cherry from the morning but she was not answering her phone Charles was anxious, he went to Zang's villa to meet her but she was not even there, Charles went back to his office while trying to call Cherry.
Ryan took Cherry to a place which was far from the city, they both got out of the car and walked towards a tomb, Infront of a tomb Ryan fell on his knees with teary eyes, Cherry looked at Ryan and then at the tomb, she read the name on the tomb, she was not able to understand how this woman was related to Ryan.
Ryan got up and said calmly, "She is your daughter-in-law, mom. I know you're angry with me for not introducing her early, I'm sorry mom, but I want to introduce her to you at right time," Cherry was stunned to see all this in front of her eyes as she never expected something like this from a cold-hearted man like him.
Ryan held her hand and took her to a bench and told her to sit on it, Cherry looked at him without uttering a single word from her mouth, Ryan took a deep sigh in sadness and said sadly, "My mother died because of that lady who came to my office today, I hate her with all my heart, I hate her existence," Ryan hugged her tightly and hid his face in the crook of her neck, Cherry patted his back and tried to comfort him.
They both sat there for a while, without talking to each other, Cherry looked at Ryan and then said softly, "It's getting dark we should leave now," Ryan held her hand tightly and started walking towards the exit. Cherry was feeling uncomfortable but she didn't want to hurt him. They both went to the car and drove off.
On the way back, They both didn't talk to each other, it was becoming really awkward between them, to break the ice Cherry took out her phone from the bag and turned it on, she found fifty missed calls from Charles, Cherry got anxious, she dialled his number, Charles answered the call on the third ring, he shouted angrily, "Where the hell are you?"
Cherry got shocked by his sudden burst, she replied calmly, "I'm with Mr Zang. What happened, Are you fine?"
"Why were you not answering my calls? I was sick worried about you. Where are you? I want to meet you.", he asked concernedly.
"We will meet tomorrow, As it's already late today and I'm really tired", Cherry replied calmly because she didn't want to leave Ryan in that state. "As you wish Sweetie, please take care of yourself," he said lovingly and ended the call.
A smile appeared on Ryan's lips after listening to Cherry, Cherry looked at him and said annoyingly, "Why are you laughing, I'm really tired and want to take a rest." Ryan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I didn't say anything."
Charles was sitting on the sofa in the study room, He puffed out smoke while looking at his mobile screen, disappointment was completely visible on his face, he thought in his mind, "I've to make a move faster than that bastard otherwise I'll lose Cherry forever." Charles took the glass of whisky from the table gulping the whole whisky in one go and then threw that glass on the floor that got shattered on floor into several pieces.
Cherry entered the cottage, she went to her room to change her clothes, She came back and went to the kitchen to cook something for dinner, as she started cutting vegetable, Ryan entered the kitchen, he walked towards Cherry and took the knife from her hand, "I'll cook today" Cherry was shocked after listening to this, she looked at him in surprise and asked, "Do you know how to cook?"
Ryan smirked, he folded his sleeves and took the knife from the table, he started chopping vegetables, Cherry we really shocked to see his chopping skills, within no time Ryan cooked the dinner, Cherry set the table and sat on her chair and started eating, she was dumbfounded after tasting the food, she looked at Ryan and said, "You're a brilliant cook, Where have you learnt cooking?"
Ryan smiled and answered, "When I went for higher studies in London I used to cook for myself."
They both finished their food, Cherry took the dishes to the kitchen and washed them, she wiped her hands and got two beer cans from the refrigerator and walked towards the living room. Ryan was watching business news, she handed him a beer can and sat on the other side of the sofa.
"It's getting late and we have office tomorrow, you should go now," Cherry said after keeping the beer can on the table, "I don't want to sleep alone, can I sleep here for today?" Ryan asked politely.
Cherry nodded her head and they both went to her room, "you can sleep on the bed, I have extra bedding I'll sleep on the floor," Cherry said and took out extra bedding from the cupboard. She put the bedding on the floor and laid on it. Ryan didn't want to argue with her so he kept quiet and laid on the bed. Cherry was not able to sleep, all things that happened during the day were coming to her mind when suddenly she heard Ryan saying something. She got up and went to him. Ryan was looking scared while mumbling something in his sleep, suddenly he got up with a scream and hugged Cherry, he was breathing heavily and his clothes were drenched in sweat.
Cherry was utterly shocked by his behaviour, she hugged him back and caressed his back, she calmed him and then laid beside him. Ryan was sleeping soundly while Cherry was trying to digest all the things that happened that day. This thing was continuously bugging her that what would have happened in past that made him this scared? She looked at him for the last time and then closed her eyes and soon drifted to sleep.
Damn this alarm, Cherry got up and turned off her alarm, she looked out and saw clear sky after a long time. Suddenly last night incident flashed in front of her eyes, Cherry looked at the other side of the bed and found it empty, she touched that side but found it cold, Ryan got up long ago.
Cherry got up and took the bath, she got ready when suddenly a message popped up on her phone screen, it was a message from Klaus, "Come here,"
Cherry rushed towards the kitchen and drank a glass of juice and ran towards the door. She got out and locked the door, suddenly she realised that her car is parked in the parking area of Zang company. She sighed in frustration and walked hurriedly towards the gate, she walked down the alley and hailed a taxi from there.
Cherry reached her destination and got out of the taxi. she was walking inside the building when Ryan called her, she looked at the screen for some time and then muted the call. Cherry turned off her phone before entering the building, she walked towards the training area where Klaus was giving training to the new members, Klaus saw Cherry and said with a smirk, "Come let's fight."
Cherry smirked and got inside the ring, " Get ready to lose to me." They both started fighting, Cherry was way faster than Klaus, they both fight intensely but at last, Klaus got defeated by Cherry, "I have to admit that you're fighting skills are improved very much, you are brilliant in fighting." Klaus appreciated her while sipping water from the water bottle. "You are the one who trained me this well, I'm lucky to have a guide like you," Cherry replied with a smile on her face.
"Why have you called me here? " Cherry asked while wiping sweat from her forehead.
"We had encrypted the data, Laura you need to be more cautious, they want to kill you," Klaus informed her concernedly.
A smile appeared on her face, "tell me something I don't know because this thing is already clear to me," Cherry replied without any hesitation.
"Laura please, this is too much, I don't want to lose my little sister, please back off, it's getting dangerous with every passing day," Klaus said concernedly while holding her arms.
"I'm not a kid, Klaus and please don't say these words to me, you know me, I'll never back off, this is the only thing left that is keeping me alive, Do you really want me to lose the last hope of my existence," Cherry replied firmly and pulled herself away from Klaus.
Cherry smirked evilly and said, "It's getting interesting day by day."
