Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

Ryan’s grip tightened around Sherry’s hand as she reached out to touch the wall again.

Perhaps it was her way of showing her resentment. Letting Ryan know that he could not control each and every step of her movement. She tried to pull her hands away from his iron grip, obviously, without any success.

“What are you doing?” he asked, his voice low and dangerous.

Sherry looked up at him, her eyes flashing. “I’m trying to find a way out of this,” she said defiantly.

“There’s no way out, not until I say there is’ ‘ Ryan replied, his tone cold and final.

Sherry pulled her hand away from his grip, and the tension between them crackled like electricity. “Don’t tell me what I can and can’t do,” she said, her voice rising. “That is not mentioned anywhere in our contract. ”

Her voice was firm but it melted away as soon as Ryan advanced upon her and stepped right on top of her defiance.

He took another step closer to her, his breath hot on her face. “I’m not telling you what to do. I’m telling you the truth. Besides, there is no use of a contract when you wouldn’t be living.”

Was that a threat? Was he threatening to kill her if she would go even one step out of line?

Sherry’s heart pounded in her chest as Ryan leaned in closer, his eyes dark and intense. She could feel the heat of his body radiating off him, and her body responded in kind.

Ryan chuckled at her confused expression.

Then grabbed her cheeks and turned her face towards the wall.

” It has been one of the best ways to dispose of one’s rival. Poison walls. Somebody has been after my dear old friend Chong. I would hate it if anybody else died as a side effect. ”

Sherry was still trying to process what Ryan was trying to tell her then suddenly, without a word, Ryan reached out and pulled Sherry into his arms. She resisted at first, but the magnetic pull between them was too strong to resist.

” You lost your luck already, I believe Sherizad! ”

His eyes were burning as he called that name.

” You… You mean my lucky socks. ”

Sherry was fumbling to maintain her composure.

She was fighting but she knew she was in a losing game, as Ryan bent further over her and at that moment she tried to get up as well.

Their lips met in a fierce, passionate kiss, and they were lost in each other.

It seemed like they forgot about the outside world and surrendered to the passion that burnt between them.

After what were several , long seconds, Sherry took a step back, breaking off the kiss abruptly, and looked away from Ryan. She could feel her face turning red with embarrassment.

Ryan cleared his throat, trying to break the tension. “Uh, sorry about that,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck.

Sherry nodded, still not looking at him. “Yeah, me too,” she muttered, feeling foolish.

There was an awkward silence between them, broken only by the sound of their breathing. Sherry fidgeted with her hands, unsure of what to say or do next.

She shifted her weight from one foot to the other. “So, uh, what do we do now?” she asked tentatively.” Umm, are these walls really poisonous? ”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

She tried asking, hoping to divert the topic of discussion.

Ryan nodded, looking relieved. “Yeah, it is in most probability. But these poisons don’t have smell or taste so I will be able to confirm without sending bits to the forensic. ” he said, stepping back from her. His face seemed flustered as well but his voice was a lot less intimidating than before. It was sober.

Sherry felt a pang of disappointment but didn’t say anything at his nonchalance towards the kiss that they just shared. It was another strange feeling. A relief wrapped in disappointment. She turned towards the door and began to walk towards it.

Ryan hesitated for a moment before following her.

” You really don’t want to step out of here at this moment! Let the boy come back. Let’s wait for Chong. ”

Sherry failed to understand why Ryan was calling that old garage owner a boy.

But she understood that he was asking her to stop. But this time he neither touched her nor raised his voice. He just tried telling her something, without really telling the whole thing.

Sherry could see the sincerity in his voice so she turned to step back inside and listen to him.

No longer had she taken a few steps forward than Ryan snatched her up in his arms.

Before Sherry could understand what was happening again she could feel the shockwave.

The entire wall behind her flew with such force that both Ryan and herself went rolling over the floor.

It was a massive bulldozer.

It had just rammed onto the garage wall.

Sherry was held tight by Ryan’s strong hands. She left protected , she left safe. She blinked so clear the daze that the dust had created.

She saw Ryan’s men jump in from all over and point their guns right at the driver in the bulldozer which had come to a sudden halt, just inches away from where Ryan and Sherry were cuddling.

” Are you alright? ”

Ryan turned her face towards himself to ask.

Sherry could only nod and she was busy straining her head to look at the driver of that bulldozer, who was definitely in a tight position.

Ryan stood up after scanning Sherry one last time.

She saw him pounce on the front of the bulldozer and go straight in front of the driver’s window.

Sherry went around and from there she could see the driver’s spot perfectly.

She covered her face to stop herself from screaming.

The driver was already dead.

A horribly mutated dead body was sitting on the driver’s seat, blood dripping all over the steering and the windshield as it was bent over it.
