I am a Second Female Lead

Chapter 135: Last Arc 17

In the private garden, Sheri and Eric looked at each other.

"System, cover me up. I need, to properly speak to him."

"Host I sincerely hope you're not doing what I am thinking"

"Cover me up. This is very important to me." Sheri is already firm with her decision. She has to do what

she has to do.

Sheri looked at Eric who is smiling gently.

"Eric, What if I told you what you have dreamed before were all true."

"What dream?" Eric naturally wondered.

"The dream that you brutally killed me, correction torture." Sheri calmly said.

"That is impossible. That is just only a terrible dream and it doesn't prove anything."

"What if I say I can prove it to you?"

"How?" Eric was very much confused.

"You have a hidden mansion in Kali Forest."

Eric was taken aback.

"Everyone can find, that out, if they have connections."

"You have a hidden dungeon let me count how many rooms there are. You have 5 jail and 3 tortured

room. Do you want me to tell you how you torture people?

"How do you know" Eric's face paled.

Sheri looked at the sky and sighs.

"I have once loved you with all my heart. Remember, the first time I meet you was, in the event of my

family charity. From since then on. I pursuit you." Sheri looked at Eric who starts to clench his fist.

"Sigh... I can tell you in detail about what you don't like, and everything but you... you fall in love with

Janice. One day you found out I push Janice and took vengeance. You...."

"Stop... that is, not true..."Eric shouts. He holds the shoulder of Sheri and looked at her.

"It's just a dream. It's, not true. This, what your saying is, not true. Scientifically it is unproven. Look at

me. I love you..." Eric was panicking while looking at her. He doesn't believe what she is saying.

" Eric, You might not believe but I remember it all. Like it happened yesterday." Sheri holds his cheek. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"You have loved Janice at that time, and I was a fool to scheme toward her. I have already, forgive you,

but I can't love you. Be at peace Eric. And I hope you can obtain your peace."

Eric was silent the whole time. Sheri taps his shoulder.

"I'm sorry, and thank you for what you did, this past month," Sheri said.

Sheri explains everything and walked out of the place leaving Eric dreadfully shocked and devastated.

Eric slowly sits. His heart starts to ache. He couldn't explain. He wandered aimlessly toward his car and

when he gets inside he started laughing bitterly while tears run through his cheek.

Sheri walked inside their house and everybody was looking at her. She seizes the hand of Devon.

Devon looks at her. Sheri led him to the kitchen and closed the door.

" I am giving you a chance to redeem your self-in this world. Are you listening?"Sheri said toward

Devon but Devon looked like he was shocked.

"Can you say that again? Devon shakily asked.

"sigh! I said it once I don't want to keep on repeating my self. If you didn't hear or understand it's up to

you."

Devon suddenly shouts and embraced her.

Sheri was flabbergasted.

"Wait, I didn't say we are already."

Devon wanted to kiss her. Luckily her family opened the door and directly separated them.

"Mr. Goori I think you didn't ask us yet and you young lady, go to your room. Your grounded." Her father

said.

Sheri was shocked.

"Dad I'm 27 years old."

"Your grounded go to your room and let me talk to your boyfriend."

"His not yet my boy..." Sheri was supposed to protest, but her mom already pulled her to the living

room leaving her two brothers, father, and Devon in the kitchen.

"Mom, his not yet my boyfriend."

"Aya this child, you don't have to lie. I can see the spark in your eyes when you're doing that."

"Spark? Doing that? What is that all about?"

"Aya this child still keeps on denying."

Sheri was confused, and she wanted to know what her father and her brother said to Devon.

Sheri was grounded that day, and she was not allowed to go out. If she did she will be escorted by her

brothers. She explains to her family that Devon is not yet his boyfriend. She only said that he would

give him a chance to prove himself.

Her father and brothers smile toward each other when they found out the truth. Her father will not let go

of the fact that Devon almost ruins their lives. An act of sweet revenge is waiting for him.

Her father starts to register Sheri to a matchmaking event, and Sheri was shocked. While Devon does

everything to make sure no one goes to the matchmaking. Instead, he bought every matchmaking site

and every time her father reacts to a picture. Devon will go instead of the man in the picture. Sheri was

forced to go to the matchmaking event. Every time she goes, she will meet Devon.

Sheri keeps on sighing.

Devon slowly and undoubtedly proves to Sheri how sincere he is. He picks her up wherever she goes

and he consistently gives her flowers and various kinds of gifts. Sheri, on the other hand, was

genuinely surprised because all the rare gifts he sends were either food or simple things that she likes.

For a month Sheri saw how Devon devoted to seeing her. He becomes a perfect gentleman.

She saw also how her brothers maltreat him and her father always makes fun of him. Sheri felt pity

especially that her sisters were like letch to him. Asking him expensive gifts. Sheri was a bit

embarrassed and talk to her parents.

She wanted to move out.

But she is not allowed according to her parents. Sheri's eyes keep on rolling up.

Day after day, months after months. Sheri can see the effort of Devon and the way they abuse and

annoy him.

Her father was doing his best to instantly find a man for Sheri. Sheri played along with them. The time

she started to be bored with all the play. She introduces a guy as her fiancee. To make her parents stop

and her sisters embarrassing her. She dates a guy secretly and found a man who is a professor in one

of the universities. Sheri knows that she is being monitored by everyone her brothers, father, and

Devon. She meets him secretly and finally said yes when he pops a question to be his girlfriend. Sheri

doesn't have any feelings for him, but she just wanted also to settle down with a normal life.

Devon found out the truth but this time he slowly let her go.

One day, Devon was devastated when he received the wedding invitation. He at present knows that

Sheri dated a guy and become her fiancee. It was so fast that he cannot react. He was planning to end

his life, but he wanted to ask her personally.

He drives to the Hoal residence, and her family was all there.

In spite that the Goori is a family to be fear with. The Hoal this time has the upper hand.

Everyone can see how Devon was brutally crushed. It is almost a year now that he did his best and yet

in the end. Sheri found someone. The family of Sheri was sorry for him. Especially her father, he felt

guilty because he finds that the man. Who is now devastated, deserved his daughter more than

anyone.

Sheri arrived together with her fiancee and was supposed to walk to her parents when she saw Devon

sitting in a corner looking miserable.

Sheri sigh. Indeed, She said he would give him a chance to prove himself, but that doesn't mean she

will marry him. Sheri can see her parents were a bit uneasy, and her brothers were silent on the sides.

"Can I talk to Devon alone? Sheri said to everyone even her fiancee. Everyone fled the room.

"Devon, I'm sorry. This is the best for us. I can't get it off in my head that you had a woman before me. I

hope you will live a good life and don't kill your self because I will feel mortified."Sheri gently said.

Devon's head hangs low. It is over. The woman she loved will have a new life and he is not included.

He did his best, and he can't blame her. He promised he would stay by her side no matter what even if

it means not staying as a husband. Even it will crush him over and over it's fine as long, she is happy.

"Promise me don't harm your self." Sheri taps his shoulder. Devon looked at her and his eyes were red.

He gently holds her cheek.

"If this makes you happy. So be it. As long I can stay by your side I don't mind even if its means in a

distance. I will... "He can't complete his sentence. He closed his eyes and deep breath.

"Promise me first you will not harm your self," Sheri said.

Devon was quiet the whole time. His heart is aching. It felt like a million needles were piercing his core

but he saw in the picture Sheri with the guy that indeed she was happy. She was always laughing with

that man. He did try his best to stop them by ruining their supposed dates but every time he wanted to

establish his plan. He instantly back out. He wanted to respect her decision, wants, and will. Every time

he picks her up indeed she smiles but not that warm smile that she gave toward her fiancee. He looked

at her.

"I did solemnly promise that whatever you want I will obey. I will promise if you don't want me to harm

myself ok. Perhaps this is my retribution."Devon softly said.

Devon was dejected.

"Take care of your self. I may not be near you, but I will always be here."Devon said and slowly walked

out.

It's a gloomy sight to see. After all his effort it means nothing to her. Tears started to form in his eyes

but, he's holding it in. He doesn't want any pity from Sheri. He loved her so much that he is willing to let

her go.
