"what a horrible book" Sheryl shut up the five hundred pages book in her hand. She leaned back in the couch and closed her eyes.

It was the type of story she hate the most. The female lead who thought of nothing else besides the male lead. They hurt her, humiliated her, insult her, even try to kill her, just for her to stop being with the male lead but all those things doesn't matter because they love each other.

Bullshit‼ Sheryl wanted to shout at her.

' no one will kill you if you give up on the guy and find a life for yourself who doesn't rotate around a man‼'

Even the villainess wasn't helping, with all the money and power in her hands, she thinks of nothing but to have the guy. If it was in her hand, if she had all that money and power she won't bet an eye on giving up on him.

Love is stupid, abandoning my power for a guy who happen to entered my life without being given the permission, disturbing everything you planned for yourself.

Sheryl sighed. What angered her the most was while reading, she realized she became the type of person she hated the most.

She became a damsel in distress who needed help and protection from people.

She looked around her and frowned. She was in a small apartment, it was spacious and cozy but it wasn't hers, it was given for her to hide.

She laughed, her hiding‼ what a joke, she wasn't the type to run away from problem, she was the type to face it head on.

"arrr" she threw the book. It hit the wall and fell on the floor.

"It's all because of you, Liam‼" she screamed.

She was in this situation because of a guy who proclaimed her as his without even caring for her opinion, all that because of stupid promise she said when young. People grow and change, why can't he understands that. Now because of him, she was there, hiding, disrupting all her plans. She even had to seek help from people she didn't want because in front of him she was nothing, she had to ask help from someone as powerful as him.

"I have to do something" she get up the couch.

It has been a month now she was hiding and Liam didn't stop his search for her. She can't just stay there doing nothing, she can't let fear take over her.

Ring..ring.. ring

The ringing of the phone interrupted her thought. She walked to the table and bend down to take it but suddenly stop mid way.

Her heart squeezed, only two people knew about the place and had her number. One of them was the spy on Liam side, he wasn't supposed to call her unless it was serious matter.

She took the phone and answered.

" He found you" are the words she heard immediately she answered. The voice was trembling and nervous.

She gulped, her eyes widen. How was it possible, Alex assured her she was safe, that he won't be able to get to her and now they found her.

Sheryl tried to calmed down, may be it wasn't a bad thing, after all is what she wanted to leave this place and confront him.

"I didn't but now I have" the warm and nervous voice was replaced with a calm and cold one.

Sheryl could recognize the voice out of thousands. It was his, it was Liam voice.

"Liam.." she called with her trembling voice.

"Yes love, missed me ?" he said.

Even though she had no doubt, now it was sure. It was him.

"I give you 24 hours to be in front of my door or else…" she could heard him pulling the gun trigger " he's death" he said.

She knew he wasn't joking and will do as he said. Being the king of the underworld, killing people was as easy as breathing.

" I'll be waiting" he said and hang up, leaving her no room to say something.

Sheryl looked at the phone in her trembling hands. It was shaking, all her body was shivering.

"No‼" she clenched the phone.

She can't be afraid of him, she shouldn't be afraid of him. She hated to see her body reacting in such a way. She has gone through much more than this, why now was she so much afraid? Even in the past, she never had such a reaction from him.

She blamed it on all what she has been through these months. It took a hold on her, destroying the strong self she build up.

"What now, what should I do" she asked herself.

She has to go, else she would have to carry the death of someone on her conscience. Liam won't hesitate to kill him if she doesn't.

She may be egoist, mean and self centered but she wasn't cruel enough to let an innocent person die, all because he helped her to escape. She manipulated him to help her and now he was bearing with the consequences. She couldn't let that happen.
