The Great CEO's Wife is a Gangster 213 CHAPTER 213: HER FEARS 1

It was already 1am when he came home from the hospital. Stacy's revelation was too much to take for him coz he doesn't know what to do and how to properly react. Of course, he was happy. It has been his lifelong dream to build a happy family with the woman he truly loves, but knowing that Silver captured her gave him so much burden. He was blaming himself as to why Aisha was abducted. He failed to protect her. How could he possibly face the woman and her family if something bad happens to her? Oh, he doesn't want to think negatively right now.

Without turning on the light, he walked towards his king sized bed. The illumination from the moon peeking through the curtains was his only shade. He sat at the edge and caresses it as if there was someone sleeping on it. His upper lip twitches a little to form a curve. Then he recalled the first time they made love. He could say it was his best night ever.

"Aisha, where are you now?" His soft whisper had an itch of pain. "Please hold on a little longer. I will surely find you".

He can't sleep at all. His been tossing to and fro. His body wanted to rest but his mind keeps running everywhere. Dang! He cursed.

He woke up and took a glass of wine. He slowly sipped it and strides towards the veranda. He looked at the sky... Why aren't there any stars above? Then out of nowhere, a tear dropped from his eyes. Fudge! Why is he tearing up? He was trying to be a man when he was in the hospital. Although he was blaming himself for his inability of protecting his woman, he was thankful enough that his eyes didn't betray his build-up composure a while ago.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

But man, it hurts so much and he misses her that much. What will he tell Eli if he looks for Aisha tomorrow? Yeah, Master Omni called earlier to notify Ethan that Eli wanted to come home tomorrow. His been asking for them often and sometimes, throwing tantrums everywhere.

Ah! Ethan caresses his temples. What if Eli looks for Aisha? He sighed.

Meanwhile, Sherry didn't have a normal sleep all night long. Since she's been flicking on her bedside, she decided to wake up and sat beside Stacy. She was looking at her calm sleeping face.

Then all at once, she recalled what Stacy said earlier about Erika. When she and Cole left, it was Erika who took care of her. Emily was very sick at that moment and with no food to eat, Erika went out begging their neighbors just so they could eat. She also went out finding a nearby clinic but was ignored since she doesn't have a dime to present. But an old lady from their neighbor came to help them and brought Emily to the hospital. Not long after, they heard about their parent's misfortune.

Their death led the sisters in an orphanage. It was then that their nerve-wrecking fate started out. First, Silver took Emily, then after a year or so, Erika escape from the orphanage and was found by Rio.

Rio said that he found Erika arguing with some goons. She was so stubborn and hard-headed. Her sense of justice where out of place. She doesn't know danger, or better yet, not afraid of anything. She was brave enough to be at risk all the time. She learnt to be strong at all times but her strength sometimes endangers her. It was all okay for her as long as she saves someone's dear life. But then, Rio knew that she was hiding something deep within her heart. It's a relief that the hate and bitterness deep within her didn't led her astray. Rio must have been a good father that's why Erika grew up to be a willed but good woman.

Sherry shed a tear when she remembered Erika. When she was a child, she always wanted to be independent. She doesn't want to be a burden. She always saw how Cole mistreated her mom and most of the time, Erika took the punishment that Emily was supposed to receive. But that didn't shake her, in fact, she showed apathy. In a young age, she learnt to be strong in her own way. Sherry was somehow happy but worried at the same time. Erika should not shoulder all the burden and responsibilities alone.

"I'm sorry my dear daughters. Mom is sorry that you have to suffer because of my selfishness. If only I was brave enough to go against your dad, then probably, destiny took a different turn for all of us." She whispered.

"I tried to convince Cole to get you back… I was supposed to come back that time but something happened." Sherry lowered her head when she remembered the last memory she had with Cole.

FLASHBACK:

"We need to go back! Emily and Erika are still young. they still don't know what they're doing!" they were arguing while Cole was driving away from the City.

"Cherry! We don't have time for them! They will see us once we go back and they will surely kill us! Do you also want them to find out about your daughters? Do you really want to involve them into this?" Cole yelled.

"But what do you want me to do? just leave them behind? Who will take good care of them? Do you think I will allow them to live off the streets?" She was trembling with anger. "Cole, whether you like it or not, I will go back once we're done with your stupid mission."

"Fine! you do that… if you want that man to know your secret!" Cherry suddenly paused then after a few second, she stared at Cole who was concentrated at driving.

"Cole, you're not planning to sell me off, right?"

"Who knows? If it will save my life." he smirked meaningfully.

"Cole!" she yelled at him. "Don't you dare do that or else!" she clenched her fist.

"If you don't want me to expose you then you choose…"

Cherry went silent all of a sudden. She can't risk to expose her deepest secret to that man. if it happens then she'll not just lose her daughters but everything!

"Stop the car. I need to pee." She indifferently uttered. Cole stopped the car in a corner and in an instant, Cherry got off the car and went behind a big rock. The sea seemingly was waving at her. ah, it was relaxing to see the waves splashing below. She smiled. she also took her phone out and dialed out a number, however, she heard a gunshot in a distant. She instantly dashes to see Cole but she was dumbfounded when she saw him dead.

She covered her mouth using her hand. A man holding a gun was walking towards her. she stepped back. This man, it's no doubt that he killed her husband.

"W-who are you? what do you need from me?" she asked while she continued to stepped back. She's nearing the cliff. Dang!

"Me? I'm your greatest nightmare!" he laughed evilly. "Unfortunately, I can't let you live since you knew a lot." He pointed out his gun on her.

Cherry looked below. She can swim but she's not sure if she will survive the depth of the sea. It would only be a miracle if she survives but who knows? She heaved a heavy sigh and whispered a silent prayer.

"Please… don't kill me. my daughters are waiting for me." she tried to plead but she knew it was useless. Then she saw the man's finger almost ready to pull the trigger.

But before he even shot her. Cherry closed her eyes and jump. Bangggg! She heard the sound and somehow felt a sting on her shoulder. Damn, she got shot. She lost her consciousness was she fell down the sea.
