'You have to give up the dream that is too good to be true. In the same way that you leave a person

way out of your league regardless of how much you love him or her.'

He once promised that she was the only one he would love.

Suddenly Brian sensed something whizzing behind his back.

As he held Molly in his arms and stroked her face, he paid little attention to his surroundings for any

possible threats. Fortunately, his training as a fighter allowed him to sense danger just as a shiny object

was about to hit him. Brian yanked Molly out of the way by grabbing her on the waist. The shiny object

missed its target and hit a tree instead. Brian quickly pulled out a weapon, a Browning M1910, and fired

as they evaded the deadly explosive tossed at them.

He hit the man who just fired an Anesthetic bomb that narrowly missed him and Molly. The perpetrator

dropped to the ground when the bullet pierced his forehead, right between his eyes.

"Bri!" Molly screamed. She didn't know what happened but was startled by the sound of a bullet hitting

a human.

"I'm okay," Brian whispered in her ear, his breath warming her earlobe. He raised an eyebrow and

pulled Molly by the hand so they could move forward. He set the night vision goggles on his head to

help him move around better. Brian kept looking around for potential threats.

With the forest so quiet, it almost felt creepy. Brian chuckled because the type of danger he faced now

was nothing compared to what he grew up with in Hell Forest.

Her heart was pounding so loud as Molly sensed the tension in the air. She bit her lips while looking

around and grabbed Brian's hand. But it was too dark to see anything, and the darkness terrified her so

much she started to tremble violently.

Brian stopped walking and watched as the girl turned pale. "Now you know how scary this place is? I

thought you were brave enough to come to a place such as this," he teased Molly to help her relax.

But she remained speechless and couldn't stop trembling. Soon, her eyes were full of tears.

Sighing, Brian scooped Molly into his arms and hugged her. His eagle eyes quickly scanned the

immediate surroundings. He lowered his deep voice as he assured her, "I won't let you get hurt." He

looked Molly in the eye and asked, "Do you believe me?"

The scene was a replay of the other night when Brian hurt himself protecting Molly.

Still trembling in his arms, Molly remained silent while biting her lips. Whether she was worried about

Brian or Daniel, or regretted what she did, no one really knew.

The man stood still and stroked Molly's shoulders. He was mad but also felt sorry for her since she

always got him into trouble. Aside from hating her being stubborn, he didn't like it that she played the

tough guy when in reality, she was very vulnerable.

In near tears, Molly asked, "Brian, did you know what was going on here before you came?" She

looked embarrassed. "You knew it was dangerous, and I was the decoy, didn't you?"

Smiling, Brian teased Molly. "You're not as dumb as I thought." He hoped to make her relax a bit. "My

plan is to leave you here if you don't confess everything," Brian threatened.

Shocked at his words, she waited to see if Brian was really going to leave her there. There wasn't

enough light to see his entire face, so all Molly saw was a silhouette in the dark.

Seeing the poor girl so nervous made Brian's heart ache. He masked his sadness before saying, "Tony

had orders to rescue Daniel with the help of our men."

He now led Molly by the hand and walked ahead.

His statement stunned her, but with his back to her, Brian didn't see the girl's expression. It was a

shock how much Brian knew. "Did he succeed?" she asked eagerly. Then suddenly remembering

something, she exclaimed, "We have to come down the mountain if he did!"

He rewarded her with a snort. "Hrumph! We're not going to make it." Brian said.

"What do you mean?" she asked worriedly. Her breathing became heavy, and she was now skittish due

to stress. Molly now lamented not confessing everything to Brian early on.

They kept walking forward, with Brian slightly pulling Molly to hurry her up, while surveying their

surroundings. "If we keep going, we'd probably get slaughtered," he teased again. He thought if he kept

the conversation light, Molly would calm down.

But that wasn't the case. Molly turned pale at his cruel words. She was being led to danger by a man

who didn't care! Realizing this, she suddenly raised her voice, "We can't get to the foot of the

mountain?"

"I'm afraid so," Brian said almost apologetically. He kept moving forward as they talked.

Why did you come here if you knew it was a trap? Molly shuddered in fear at the thought. She was

close to having a nervous breakdown.

"How was I supposed to know if you were telling me the truth if I don't check out the situation myself?"

He tried to keep his tone light, while his eagle eyes never stopped moving to make sure they were safe.

She almost stopped walking and yelled at him, "You're a psycho!"

He halted as she broke into tears. Brian turned around to look at the girl who was in despair. A faint

smile formed in his lips. Slowly he asked, "Are you worried about me?"

Clenching her teeth, Molly yelled again. "No one is worried about you!" She huffed in annoyance. "You

know what? I can leave you and go as far away as I want after you die!"

She meant it, and his face clouded after hearing the words. Molly leaving him would be devastating. He

didn't want to think about her going away, or worse, make good her threat. Slowly, he turned around to

face Molly. Brian lifted her chin, so they were eye-to-eye. "I want to make one thing clear to you, Molly,"

he began. "You can never flee from me as long as I am alive.
