Chapter 15 The Consequences Of Rage

Jackson suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Stephen An by his collar. Taken aback by his action,

Derek and Cherry both had no idea what he would do next. It seemed he was willing to do anything to

vent out his anger.

Jackson looked closely into Stephen An's eyes and said, slowly, "Stay away from her, or you will be

dead."

Stephen An did not show any signs of fear, as if he was already used to Jackson' temper. He stared

back into Jackson's eyes, which were glittering with hatred, "Jackson, she has already been my target."

"She is my woman." Jackson said bluntly.

"I don't mind." Stephen An replied, "And I will make her mine, that's what I'm going to do."

What they said was only between them, nobody else could hear it.

Jackson threw a hard punch at Stephen An's face.

Stephen An staggered backwards a few steps, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Damn it, as

a soldier how could he, Jackson, punch someone in such a reckless manner?

Some of the nearby security guards immediately rushed over to hold down Jackson. Stephen An

stopped them with a wave of his hand.

At this moment, Cherry did not know what to make of the situation. But she rushed to Jackson and

leaned into his arms, while staring at Stephen An.

Jackson wrapped his arms around her. She meant the whole world to him, and as long as she was

besides him, he felt complete.

Looking at this unwelcome scene, Stephen An felt hurt. How could someone possibly fall in love with

this guy? Apparently, they were close to each other.

"Stephen An, don't push my limits. You can't afford to play with me." He was done talking to Stephen

An. Jackson lowered his head, his tone softening. He said to the small woman who was in his arms,

"Let's go."

"Okay." Cherry nodded meekly and followed Jackson out of the bar.

Derek gave Stephen An a ferocious glare and then left.

Watching them go, hatred spread in Stephen An's eyes. 'Jackson, back in the old days, you took away

what was most precious to me. Now I will take away the things you treasure most, just the way you

have done to me!'

After getting back home, Jackson went straight to the living room and sat down on the couch without

saying a word.

Cherry stood aside and avoided talking to him, knowing he was still in a foul mood. She asked Derek,

"Do you both know Stephen?"

Before Derek could say anything, he heard Jackson's order.

"You can go now."

Jackson said, coldly. His order crystal clear.

Helplessly, Derek looked at Cherry and said, "Sister, I should go now."

Cherry didn't want to say anything more to Jackson. She knew there was no point in going against his

wishes. Watching Derek walking off, she turned around and was about to go upstairs to rest.

"Stop!"

Jackson exclaimed, angrily, as he saw Cherry walk away.

Cherry stopped, turned around and looked at Jackson, "What's the matter?"

"Did you go to the bar to meet him?" Jackson asked.

"Nonsense, I ran into Mr. Stephen accidentally." Cherry was not in the mood to explain further, for that

would merely add insult to injury. After all, she was a bit afraid of this furious man in front of her.

"Accidentally?" Jackson said and walked to Cherry, staring right into her eyes, "Cherry, you not only

messed around with my nephew, now you have even gotten involved with Stephen An. How attractive

do you think you are?"

Cherry was stunned by what Jackson said. How could he utter such harsh words to her!

Trying her best to maintain her composure, Cherry drew in a deep breath and said, "Jackson, why does Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

it concern you who I am flirting with? It is just a nominal marriage between us. Who are you to judge

me like this?"

"Cherry!" Jackson almost roared. Why did this woman give him such a headache?

Cherry wasn't terrified of Jackson. She continued, "Jackson, it's not my business if you go out and flirt

with other women. Similarly, how I live my life has nothing to do with you!"

With these words, Cherry turned around and was about to leave. She did not want to argue any further.

She had walked just two steps, when she was forcefully pulled over by Jackson into his arms.

Cherry let out a cry, when she was pressed against his chest.

Jackson lowered his head, staring into the eyes of the woman who was in his arms, "I want you to

know where disobedience ends."

With that, Jackson swiftly scooped up Cherry, and walked to the stairs leading to the second floor.

He kicked open the door of the bedroom, walked in and threw Cherry on the large bed. He then

pounced on her.

Frightened by his actions, Cherry covered her chest instantly and shouted, "Jackson, don't you dare

mess around!"

"How come it is messing around if you are my wife?" Jackson said, accusingly. Damn it, why couldn't

this woman just be obedient to him?

Done talking, Jackson began to make moves on her intensely.
