Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 192 Danger, The Flying Bullet (Part Four)

Tony sighed lightly. He found himself drifting farther and farther, away from Brian. He neither understood his thoughts, nor his feelings for Molly. He just knew that Brian had never brought any woman along when he went on a business trip, not even Becky. Still occupied with his own thoughts, Tony pulled a blanket over himself and covered his eyes with a mask. He remembered the times when Becky took offense to Brian not taking her along. Brian had never agreed to her constant badgering, and never even given it any consideration. To him, Brian was an extremely cold-hearted man lacking any emotion. Today however, to his surprise, Brian was bringing Molly with him. What's more astonishing was that he dragged her along, whether Molly liked it or not. During the whole flight, he was puzzled and overwhelmed by all these thoughts. He had covered himself with a blanked and a mask, but he was unable to sleep.

Meanwhile at Steven's house, Steven sat in his chair, with a blank face, gawking ahead of him. The whole room was filled with smoke and an acrid smell of nicotine met the nose with a punch. The whole day, he smoked one cigarette after another. Cigarette butts were strewn here and there, on the floor, on the furniture and even in the cracks on the wall.

Sharon watched him the whole time, worried and attentive. But she dared not ask him. She knew he didn't like her poking her nose where she shouldn't, especially after she had had the operation. As it had been a while since the surgery, she felt that she was gradually recovering, and unlikely to get worse.

"Has... has he come for you?" Unable to bear the stress and tension in her heart any longer, she asked him quickly as if any prolonged time would easily upset Steven.

There was no answer. He just pinched out the cigarette he was smoking with his shivering hand and pulled another from the cigarette case and flicked the lighter to produce a flame. He lit the new stick,

put it between his lips and gave it a deep and long suck, as if to devour all of his stress and panic into his stomach so he could no longer feel it in his mind.

"Has he been looking for you several times?" Though Sharon knew that she wouldn't get an answer, she couldn't help asking. For some things, Steven's keeping things from her didn't mean that she was not aware. She had a strong inkling that he would come to find Steven one day, and she sensed that today was the day.

Hearing what Sharon had asked, Steven's hand stiffened for a second, apparently he was stung in his heart. After a heavy sigh, he went on with his smoking. In and out, the smoke swirled slowly in the air and shadowing the complex emotions on his face. After a moment's pause, he said at length,"If something happened, it has already happened. There is no remedy for it. Now that we have already sacrificed so much, there is no reason for us to give up now. We must persist till the end..."

Instantly, a sour smell flowed into Sharon's nose. Her eyes were moist. She glared fiercely at Steven. "I was right, he came for us. Can't he let us go? He can leave us alone, can't he?" she thundered.

Steven lifted his corner of the mouth lightly in self-mockery and did not reply.

With what she was seeing, it looked like Steven had abandoned his ambitions and abandoned his beliefs. He went through such an extreme way to keep Molly away. But for Steven, he'd rather Molly be Brian's woman, that was because he had a feeling that Brian would protect Molly, and that no harm would come to her.

His instinct was right. Because of Brian, they seemed not dare to confront him face to face, which could also mean they wouldn't dare to go after Molly.

"Sharon, don't be so panic!" Steven said in his heavy voice,"There is always a way out."

"A way out? What could we do? We could do nothing!" Sharon whimpered,"How far does he want to force us? We have done everything as he wished. I have left Rory behind, and you have left from your military region post. What else could we do to satisfy him? When is the end?"

Steven got to his feet and came to Sharon. He embraced her close to his chest. He did not say anything. As a matter of fact, he had not only met him, but Rory too...

For now, he had no other wishes; he only prayed that Molly and Brian would be safe, that no one would ever notice the secret!

It was already the morning of the following day when Brian and Molly arrived on QY Island. Unlike the cold weather in winter in A city, the island was green everywhere. After the incessant rain throughout the night, the whole island was now covered in an ethereal veil of fog.

After getting off the plane, Molly stood on the tarmac. Her eyes shone with excitement and confusion, as she adjusted to the new scenery. She was not aware at the beginning, and then gradually, she got the feeling that others were watching or something ... It was not until then she realized that she was still wearing the Grand Night Casino's waiter dress.

Instantly, Molly blushed in embarrassment. She glared at Brian sullenly as he stood beside her. However, he paid no heed. He only glanced at her for a second and then turned his face away.

"You dragged me in here, you didn't think I should change my clothes first, did you?" Molly asked in anger.

"I know," He said no more words, as it was not his concern at all.

Seeing Brian's ignorance, Molly gritted her teeth and murmured in ire. She turned around and tried not to see those people who sat with their confused eyes on her. 'Anyway, they saw me as Brian's "girl". He doesn't even feel ashamed about his girl wearing a work dress, then why do I care? It is not me that who should be embarrassed.'

A car rushed straight toward them as she pondered. Before it was close enough to hit them, Molly suddenly noticed it in shock and retreated back a step. And at the same time, she stretched out her arm and yanked Brian. All of these were merely instinctive actions under dangerous circumstance. However, a flame of warm light came into Brian's eyes, at least, she had an instinctive impulse to protect himself.

The car made a sudden stop just ahead of their feet.

The harsh squeal of the brakes sounded extremely shrill on the wide-open tarmac. Terrified of nearly being hit by the car, a shiver of rage came over Molly's veins. She was just about to growl at the driver as the door opened and a man came out from inside...

She couldn't believe her eyes. It was a man with a surprisingly beautiful face. A face that would make every woman would feel loved and not ashamed of themselves.

Molly's eyes enlarged, with her mouth half opened. now, all of the anger changed into fascination. If not for the knot on her throat, she wouldn't have believed that the person she was looking at at the moment was actually a man. Especially the pair of glamorous and enchanting eyes, even a blink, would have intrigued every living thing on earth. Molly went completely numb, staring gawky at the man

Shawn was just about to greet Brian as he approached. But then, his eyes fell on Molly who was staring motionlessly at himself in full of amazement. Instantly, a ghastly chill came over his face, his eyes flickered with a sudden attempt of killing...

It was not until then Brian realized the change on Shawn's face. But before he even moved, Shawn's hand had already reached out into his pocket...
