Cherry's phone rang as soon as she returned home. She scowled at the number on the caller ID.
Anger and hatred surged through her veins.
'Are you so eager to die, asshole? If that's the case, I'll end your life right away.'
Cherry took a deep breath and answered the call. "My beauty, what are you doing?" Luke chirped. "Do
you miss me?
I miss you more than words could describe. Would you like to go on a date with me tomorrow? Why
don't we meet at the same place?"
Cherry gritted her teeth, her eyes blazing with rage. However, Luke couldn't see her reaction.
"I will go on a date with you as long as you don't expose my truth," Cherry croaked, sounding sad and
helpless.
"Of course! I won't utter a word as long as you listen to me." Luke grinned.
Cherry hung up the call and threw her phone aside. She knew that the man would continue to threaten
her. Therefore, she planned to silence him forever.
Excitement bubbled up in Luke's heart. He was happy to get a positive response from the woman who
had stolen his heart. The next day, Luke bought flowers and went to the same hotel they stayed last
time.
Although Luke didn't have to spend time and money to win Cherry's heart, he was happy that she
fulfilled his physical needs. Therefore, he didn't mind doing little things that made her happy.
He had just started his career. He didn't have much money. He didn't have a car. He owned an electric
bicycle and usually traveled in it.
A smile stretched across his lips as he put the flowers in the basket. The world somehow seemed
beautiful today. He couldn't wait to see Cherry again.
"It is a wonderful life. I get to see my beauty again," Luke said to himself, beaming brightly.
Just then, an unlicensed car sped towards him. Luke was so excited that he didn't notice it. However,
he soon realized that something was wrong and turned around to see what it was.
He quickly accelerated the speed of his electric bicycle, but it was too late. His electric bicycle couldn't
escape from the car that was darting toward him at lightning speed.
The two vehicles collided. Luke's body flew onto the car with a bang and rolled to the other side of the
road. The car dashed faster without stopping.
Luke's face hit the concrete. Blood gushed out of his mouth. He squinted his eyes to see the car and
note down the number but realized that the vehicle didn't have a number plate.
His eyes grew heavy. Fear consumed him as he wondered if he was going to die.
Meanwhile, Cherry was sitting in the vanity room while the make-up artist continued to dress her up.
She glanced at her watch now and then impatiently.
It felt as if time had stood still.
Just then, her phone chimed in with a message. She quickly unlocked it and read the words: The job is
done!
Her body visibly relaxed when she read the four words.
An ecstatic smile stretched across her lips. 'That's great! The two men have done an extraordinary job!
They have gotten rid of Luke! They have saved me from the pervert! I am a free bird now, ' thought
she.
Cherry felt relieved. She stood up, took a deep breath, and left with her bag. The make-up artist looked
at her in shock. She wanted to stop her but decided against it. Everyone knew that Andrew and Cherry
were the most successful celebrities in the industry. No one could utter a word against them. She was
only a make-up artist, so she didn't want to stop Cherry and get into trouble.
Thinking that the shooting would be delayed today as well, the artist packed her bags and let out a
weary sigh.
Meanwhile, the traffic police had surrounded the black car before it sped off from the accident spot.
Both Aden and Paul looked at the police, who were pointing guns at them.
"Aden, they have caught us. There is no means of escape. What should we do now?" Paul asked. His
face had turned ghastly pale.
Aden and Paul had three other friends who used to work with them. But a lot had happened in the past
-- only the two were alive now.
They had planned to flee after hitting Luke's bike, but luck didn't favor them.
"What the hell do I know? I am in the same situation as you are," Aden grunted in frustration. He
grabbed the steering wheel and scanned the area, calculating the possibility of escape.
Both were aware of the situation. Cherry hadn't paid them yet, and Selma's payment wasn't credited to
their accounts yet. The two were in desperate need to live the life they wanted. However, the
unexpected arrival of the police had ruined all their plans.
"We might have a chance to live if we escape now. But if we get caught, the Fu Family won't spare us,"
suggested Aden. He was two years older than Paul and had more experience in performing criminal
acts.
Paul was stunned. He nodded, staring at the police in a daze.
However, just when Aden grabbed the steering wheel to drive out, the police started firing bullets at
them. Both Aden and Paul froze on the spot.
The car jerked as one of the police shot at the tires.
Aden and Paul exchanged glances. They had missed their last chance to escape. The police had
caught them. They were doomed now.
"Aden, what do we do now?" Paul croaked.
"I..." Aden gulped when he saw the police walking towards them. "I don't know what to do either!"
"Why don't you get out of the car?" A tall man in a black suit tapped on the window. His eyes narrowed
as he peered through the glass.
Aden flinched back before turning to look at Paul.
An ominous silence pervaded the car as the two stared at each other with their mouths hanging open in
shock. The man was none other than Kevin.
Aden and Paul were terrified. They didn't expect to see him here.
Kevin arched his brows when he saw traces of blood on the car. He finally realized what had
happened.
"Did your car hit someone?" Kevin's resonant voice sent a chill down their spines.
