100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Thirty-Seven…

~~*****~~

Cherry was at a loss for words after hearing Stephen's revelation. 'He erased her memory. How could that be possible? How could he do that?'

Cherry stared at him with disbelief. "How? Why do you have to erase her memory? To what extent she was affected by the incident? What kind of mishap happened to her in Country Z?" She bombarded him with so many questions.

At this moment, Stephen kept his mouth shut. He couldn't say it without Phantomflake's consent. He buried her past along with her lost memory. He couldn't afford to tell another person about her dark past.

Stephen believed that it was Phantomflake's deep scar that she wanted to hide from everyone… even her friends.

"C'mon Stephen! Tell me. Please… I wanna know." Cherry grabbed his shirt tightly using both hands.

"What's going on here?" A newcomer arrived and interrupted the two.

Cherry didn't have to turn around since she already recognized that voice. It was Aiden! 'Argh! This punk. Why did he arrive at this crucial moment? I was planning to force an answer from Stephen.'

Cherry bared her teeth, scolding Aiden in her mind. Meanwhile, Stephen felt relieved because of Aiden's sudden arrival. He just came at the right time. Cherry wouldn't be able to ask him further.

Stephen met Aiden's jealous gaze. He smiled at his best friend, signaling him to entertain and talk to Cherry on his behalf. He almost spilled the beans as he got carried away.

This was the first time he could confide with someone regarding Phantomflake. Since Phantomflake was the woman who Nathan resented the most, he couldn't speak to either Nathan or Aiden when it came to Phantomflake.

He was grateful that Cherry was there. They could talk about Phantomflake all they wanted.

"Cherry, Thank you for your time. I have to go and check her condition."

"Wait! I will accompany you!" Cherry grabbed his elbow when Stephen stood up.

She wasn't sure if Abigail found what she was looking for. It wasn't that long since Abigail entered Stephen's study room. What if she needed to buy more time for her? She couldn't let Stephen leave her side.

But Aiden wouldn't allow her to do that. He walked with large strides. In just three seconds, he reached their spot. He quickly snatched Cherry's hand away from Stephen, making her release his elbow.

"Go on, Steph. Do your stuff. Cherry and I will stay here for a while." Aiden motioned for Stephen to leave immediately.

Stephen just smiled at them before turning around to leave.

"Let go of my hand!" Cherry scowled at Aiden.

"No way. Over my dead body! Hmmph!" Aiden held her arm tightly, refusing to let go. He couldn't understand why Cherry's blood always boiled when he was around.

"Why are you mad at me again? Do you wanna stab me?" Aiden asked her, putting on a pitiful face.

"What do you want from me? You are not supposed to be here. Don't you have work Engr. Wu?"

"I dropped by just to see you! Why are you getting so riled up? Do you hate me so much?!" Aiden raised his voice. His heart was racing from too much jealousy. This was the first time he felt jealous because of a woman!

Cherry was taken aback for a moment. She was caught off guard when Aiden raised his voice at her.

"I don't hate you. It's just that… I find you very annoying," Cherry said truthfully, tugging her hand away from Aiden.

"Why?! What did I do to annoy you? Can't you like me? I'm more gorgeous and hotter than Stephen. Women are crazy for me. They are lining up just to get my attention." Aiden just spoke what comes into his mind. He was trying his best to get Cherry's attention.

Cherry arched her eyebrow and folded her arms over her chest. "See. This is the reason why you are very annoying. You think so highly of yourself. Who cares if women are lining up for you? I'm not like them."

"Furthermore… if you might be more gorgeous than Stephen, but he is more mature than you! He is a real man. And for me… you are still like a boy." Cherry just mocked him because she was annoyed by his interference. His sudden arrival prevented him from getting more answers from Stephen.

'Me? Just a boy?!' Aiden glared at her, tightening his hands so much that his fingernails bit into his palms.

He felt insulted. The woman he had a crush on couldn't see him as a man. She just hit his ego.

Cherry smiled inwardly. Just when she thought Aiden would leave her alone, Aiden spoke up through his gritted teeth.

"I LIKE YOU!"

Cherry: "..."

'That three words again!' She squinted her eyes at him, thinking that he was playing another prank confession on her.

"Just leave me alone, Mr. Playboy. I don't have spare time to listen to your nonsense."

Cherry stood up from her seat and was about to leave when Aiden grabbed her shoulders, pressing her down. He just forced her to sit back.

"I said… I like you!" Aiden reiterated his last words.

"Tsssh." Cherry hissed at him. "Remove your hands if you don't want me to beat you." She warned him. She didn't believe him. She already knew his reputation. Aiden was a playboy, a Cassanova… a man who changed girlfriends every month.

'How dare he try to include me in the list of his women?!'

But Aiden didn't budge. He was hell serious at this moment. He could no longer maintain his cool. Cherry kept on hurting his pride and stomping his confidence.

"I don't like– uhm~" Cherry was not able to finish her words since Aiden sealed her mouth with his lips.

'I'll show you that I am a man!' Aiden thought to himself as he nibbled on her lips, deepening the kiss. This mouth hurt his feelings several times so it was time to punish her… with a hungry passionate kiss!

Aiden was a great kisser. He expertly made Cherry respond to his lips as he dominated her.

'Wait?! What is happening?' Cherry asked to herself.
