After seven years later...
Avery Eremy thought that he was gonna take the lives of her family after meeting him again...
The fresh memory of that threat that was thrown at her the other day kept on replaying in her mind.
"You better ran away and never let me see your face again,or else!..."
In fear,she thought that running away would work...but...when she could finally find some path that she could cross,things started to turn.
****
"Avery."
With that tempting voice calling out to her,she hesitated at the choice of turning around.
It started with just three steps foward,the strength of her weak legs being supported by her cane as she calmly decided to walk away without even having a thought of looking back.
"Avery!"
This time when the man called out to her,it consciously made her froze at the spot.Unable to say anything as she did not expect him to shout out her name.
Her eyes were stuck to the ground,unable to look at the man who continued to say,his tone being as frigid as ice.
"Running away again without any explanations?"
Not knowing why he was angry in the first place,Avery replied,turning her face to meet his while her eyes closed:
"Sorry sir but I think you've got the wrong person."
Her statement left the man in deep shock.His eyes widened in total confusion.
During his silence,Avery did not hesitate to start walking away again.But before she could even have a chance to make a step with her cane,a strong force pulled her back.The thought of falling crossed her mind as she knew her balance was off,but just as she was ready to received such a fall,she felt hands surrounding her waist.
She did not expect the man to capture her leaving her eyes wide open.
Her cane abruptly fell in the ground,leaving her hopeless to stand up nor walk.Nonethless,she still tried to act strong,struggling herself to control the weight of her body with her feeble legs.
"Sir?Let go please."
Despite her protests,his grip abruptly tightened when he heard her say the words "let go" for the second time.The words that deeply reminded him of the day he could he could never forget.It haunted him.
The more Avery struggled,the more his grip tightened.Nonetheless,Avery did not give up on struggling.She tried squirming out of his grasps but to no avail,her efforts became useless,eventually surrending to the possesive embrace of the man.She soon thought that it was a waste of time fighting with him over this when she could just consult him.After all,they were strangers to begin with.
She gradually turned her head to ask him with a serious yet shaky voice.His presence irritated and frightened him at the same time.
'Who knows what feeling this is...but I know,I have to get away from him...'
"What is wrong with you,sir?"She finally asked.
In a matter of seconds,she heard a chuckle ringing in her ears.
"Very funny."Although he said this like a joke,it rather felt like a threat.
"What?"
"Nice acting,you think you can fool me,Avery?"
Keeping it all together,she calmly replied.
"For the last time,sir.My name isn't Avery.You've got the wrong person and can you please let me go?"
Although,she doesn't know where this unexpected confidence was coming from,she knew that she had to do whatever it takes for the man to believe she wasn't her.
Remembering of that past incident that almost caused the end of her and her little family's lives made her determined to escape from him.
She willingly agreed to that warning,
"...or else,i'll kill your little family."
,but why is it that...he isn't cooperating?
"...If you wanna know sir,my name is Irene,not Avery."
With all her confidence showing,she felt convincing.But if he were to believe her that she wasn't really her,the man had to do the darest thing he could think of.
Not even making Avery prepared for the next action,the man ripped off the black wig that was on her head,revealing red strands of hair beneath it.
The woman that possessed a great amount of confidence just now became a woman facing terror right in front of him.
"Y-you..."
"No one can fool me,Avery.Not even you.And no one can run away from me.Not even you."
In all the times of Avery being a risk-taker,this is the first time she felt regret after taking a risk...
Why did she ever risk on going to this island without knowing that he was gonna be here?
