Chapter 92-Back to the present
” Sherry, get your sassy ass right here. Right now! ”
Sherry looked behind her back at a raging Ryan who broke inside while his father still had his hand on her back.
” What gave you the idea that you could run away without my order? ”
He yanked her out of his father’s grip, grabbing her by the hair, hurting her on purpose.
” Ouch! Ryan! It hurts! ”
She tried to protest but Ryan shoved her down, towards the floor, forcing her face towards his father.
” It’s meant to hurt my rag doll. It’s going to hurt a lot worse when we are back home. Now, move! ”
Ryan pulled her up by her elbow and tried to shove her out of there. But before he could do that, his father grabbed the back of Sherry’s dress with the cane in his hand.
” What’s the rush my boy? Why are you mistreating my little guest? ”
Ryan had to stop because the edge was actually cutting the dress open. It was a threat to expose her in front of the entire gathering there.
Ryan knew that something was up from the moment Rose took Sherry away.
He kept his eyes open , lurking in the shadows not really interfering until he saw his father drag her down with him to the room, his private room, where he usually f* his whores.
He knew things would escalate fast if he interfered. He knew there would be no turning point from the moment he had this actual confrontation. But he couldn’t stop himself from interfering any longer.
” Your guest father? I was just trying to discipline my unruly slave. She has been wandering off here and there too much. Guess, I will have to just put her inside a cage. ”
Ryan tried to politely untangle her dress from his fathers grip, at which he merely smirked.
Ryan tried to pull Sherry out of there with a small nod and a smile but to his surprise, Sherry wasn’t budging.
He looked at her with a death stare. Sherry begged him with her puppy eyes.
She couldn’t leave yet. Not with Sarah locked up, to suffer the consequences of her action.
” What’s your problem? ”
Ryan muttered into her ears.
” Sarah! They have Sarah! ” she whispered back.
Ryan turned towards his father, who was standing with his calm demeanor, the smirk on his face still on.
” Is there a problem my boy? ” He said, ” Perhaps your little maid doesn’t want to go home? Do you, baby girl? ”
Ryan let go of Sherry and his hands clenched into a fist.
” Father. Let’s talk somewhere else. ”
” Sure… let’s go! ” he turned towards the exit as his men came running towards Sherry and stood around her.
Ryan was fighting hard not to let Rex run loose. Butbhis beast was threatening to take over. The human in front of him was crossing all limits. No matter what he called him, nothing was more important than Sherry . At Least not for Rex, at that moment.
” What is the meaning of this? ”
he asked with greeted teeth.
” Oh nothing my boy! Just making sure this little thing stays safe while we are talking. ”
This would have been the melting point. Ryan’s iris had turned bright orange and his hand had morphed into his claws with razor sharp nails.
Luckily, Rose walked in just then and placed a hand over Ryan’ s shoulder, making him close his eyes, with a little bit more extended restrain.
” I will be by her side. Go and talk to your father Ryan. Don’t make a scene. ”
Ryan was about to turn around and start ripping off heads, starting with her, but his eyes met the pleading eyes of Sherry. She was whispering,
” Please… please…. please…. ” under her breath.
Ryan took a deep breath. His claws retracting and his eyes turning brown, once again.
” I will be right back! ”
He told Sherry before walking forward with air.
Once inside , his father closed behind them.
He stretched his arms, the moment Ryan turned to face him.
” It’s been quite long, isn’t it? ”
He smiled, pulling Ryan into a surprise hug.
” Do you remember the first time we met Ryan? ”
Ryan didn’t nod but the flashbacks flooded his mind instantly.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
” I knew you were different from the beginning, my boy. That was the reason I chose you as my heir. I didn’t hesitate, even for a moment. ”
Ryan pulled out of the embrace and looked at his father with curious eyes.
Did his father know his secret all along?
Did this man in front of him know that he was a wolf?
Was he the shadow, trailing his activities and also Chong?
Ryan’s brows furrowed.
” You know I have no dearth of chicks. And if you ask me, this baby girl right there, is as average as it gets. But you should know what got me interested in her. ”
He walked over to one of his Safes.
Ryan watched as he opened it with the alphanumeric combination, followed by a retina scan.
He pulled out what looked like a leather package.
He opened the pouch and layed in front of Ryan.
Ryan’s eyes shot open. He was about to grab it but his father triggered something that started beeping with an alarm.
” This will self-destruct along with you , me and this room. Let’s quit violence and talk instead. ”
Ryan stepped back but he could not stop staring at the portrait of Sherizad that his father had in his hand.
Not of Sherry, but Sherizad the queen.
” A centuries old relic. ” His father called out , turning the painting as his eyes admired the art work, greedily.
” Where did you get this? ”
Ryan tried snatching it again, forgetting the self destruction alarm temporarily.
” Easy my boy. I said we were only talking, remember?
And to answer your question, I got it from your inside pocket the day I brought you home when we found you, all bloodied, along with your boys. I took the liberty to keep it since you did not look for it after that.
It was much later that I learnt how valuable it was. Even rarer than a black diamond.
And now I find you fighting all out for the muse herself, standing in front of us, in flesh and soul?
What do I make of this my dear boy?
An ancient vision, reincarnated in reality or an ancient soul defying time?
It’s just knocking too hard on my curiosity dear boy. Knocking too hard indeed. “
