“Thank you for waiting,” a tired voice called out to the two men who were talking in the parking lot.

“Mr. Smith,” Sherry forced a smile as she gazed at Levian who was standing as he waited for her. She looked at Roy and also managed to smile at him with a slight bow.

Levian said nothing as he moved his gaze all over her face as if searching for something. Seeing that she was fine, he finally exhaled out a sigh of relief. He had been worried sick about he

This kicked off like it was about to be an explosive read. Now after the last three chapters I feel like this is a waste to have gotten into this story at all. It's so slow and dragging.

  • Reborn for revenge: Mr.Smith Can you handle it?   The Inevitable War

    The meeting room adjacent to the main hall was small. It had a long table, eight chairs, and a large map pinned to the wall with colored markers pressed into various points along the border. Six generals were already seated when they entered. Older men, mostly. Saul took his seat at the head of the table. "Gentlemen. As I mentioned, Mr. Smith has been operating inside the South for some time. I'd like us to hear what he knows."All eyes moved to Levian. He had sat across from harder rooms than this one. He folded his hands on the table and started talking. “He has already formed alliances with other nations for rations and medical support.” He began speaking. “What about the weapons?” One of the old generals asked.Levian turned to look at him, “He had everything shipped to him. He is ready for the war.” Then he turned to look at Saul. “Maybe even more than the Northern Udyous.”By the time the meeting wrapped up, the room’s atmosphere was heavy. The generals left one by one after

  • Reborn for revenge: Mr.Smith Can you handle it?   Leaving Is Never Easy

    The dining hall was far more modest than Sherry had expected.For someone who controlled the entirety of Northern Udyous, Saul Kaelhart's residence had none of the excessive luxury she had imagined. The room was spacious, certainly, but simple. A long wooden table stood at the center, surrounded by tall windows that looked out over a quiet garden.Fresh bread, eggs, soup, and tea had already been laid out.Sherry sat beside Levian while Victor took the seat across from them.For the first few minutes, the conversation stayed light. Saul asked mostly about their journey, and Sherry was grateful for it. Her body was still exhausted. Her mind even more so.Now and then, she caught Saul studying her. Not openly. Just glances, quick enough that someone less tired might have missed them.Finally, Saul set his cup down. "Miss Sherry."She put down her fork and looked at him. "Yes?""Can you tell me a little about your family?"The room grew slightly quieter."Everyone's gone," Sherry said, w

  • Reborn for revenge: Mr.Smith Can you handle it?   Safe Haven

    After making sure everything was okay, they moved Levian to a normal ward.For the first time in a while, the chaos and noise felt far away. There was only the soft, steady hum of the medical equipment beside the bed.Levian sat propped against the pillows, eyes closed, brows drawn together in a deep frown. Outside, dawn hadn't arrived yet.A knock came at the door.Before he could answer, Sherry walked in carrying a tray.Levian raised an eyebrow, a playful smile on his lips. "Playing nurse and patient now, are we?"Sherry rolled her eyes. "I asked them for food." She set the tray on the bedside table. Soup, bread, water. Simple things. Things neither of them had properly eaten in days.He looked at the tray. Then back at her. "I love you too."Sherry nearly dropped the spoon. "Can you stop saying embarrassing things with a straight face?""No."A faint smile settled on his lips. It was the first real smile she had seen from him since the prison. Something tight in her chest eased, j

  • Reborn for revenge: Mr.Smith Can you handle it?   Old Friends and Favors

    Sherry stared at the female soldier for a moment."Someone wants to meet me?"The soldier nodded. "Please follow me."Sherry glanced back at the aunt, who was rubbing her throat and muttering inaudible words at her over the rim of her water cup, draining the last drops with deliberate slowness.Sherry ignored her and stepped out of the room.The heavy metal door clicked shut behind her.The female soldier led her through a long hallway lined with armed guards. The building felt more like a military facility than anything else. Soldiers moved past carrying files and weapons, some glancing at Sherry briefly before looking away.Nobody spoke.The further they walked, the more uneasy she felt.After everything that had happened, she wasn't sure she trusted anyone anymore. The aunt's words kept echoing in the back of her head.Aldrevon Kaelhart.The same man who had hunted them across Southern Udyous.The same man who, apparently, had something to do with her parents' deaths.Eventually, t

  • Reborn for revenge: Mr.Smith Can you handle it?   Miss Sherry, You have a visitor

    The room was quiet.Too quiet.Sherry sat on a metal chair inside a small white room. The walls were bare except for a camera fixed in one corner. A single fluorescent light hung overhead, filling the space with a cold, pale glow.The North Udyous soldiers had taken everything they carried — their weapons, their bags, even the map Andreas had given them.For the past twenty minutes, people had been walking in and out, asking the same questions over and over again.Who are you?Where did you come from?Why were South Udyous soldiers chasing your group?Why did you cross into Northern Udyous?Sherry hadn't answered much. She gave vague, harmless replies and stayed quiet whenever the truth might land them in deeper trouble. But the same couldn't be said for her aunt. Sherry rubbed her temple as the old woman continued shouting like a madwoman every time a soldier came near her. Even in a foreign country, she still had to deal with her aunt causing chaos.A female soldier walked up to She

  • Reborn for revenge: Mr.Smith Can you handle it?   Goodbye Motherf*cker!

    Sherry kept silent, her attention locked on the path ahead. The aunt could feel how tense the air inside the jeep had become, and she sat as still as possible, not daring to make a sound. The quiet was broken only by Levian's ragged grunts as he forced himself to stay conscious. He knew that if he closed his eyes, even for a moment, he might never be able to open his eyes.Sherry gently squeezed his hand as if it was her turn to tell him everything was going to be okay…that he was going to be okay. Before her lay nothing but darkness…the dark forest and the uneven road. Afraid the headlights would give them away, she left them off as much as she could. She looked at the time. They'd been on the run from the prison for twenty-five minutes, and so far, there was no sign they were being followed. 'Is it really over?' Sherry wondered, but she couldn't bring herself to breathe a sigh of relief. After all, she still hadn't reached the place Levian had shown her on the map...the border bu

    “I am here to pick you up, High Chancellor,” the bodyguard who had driven them to the villa curtsied as he opened the car door. “His Lordship is waiting.”“Let’s go,” Levian spoke in a dry voice as he pulled Sherry towards him and climbed inside the car. The bodyguard sneaked a peek at the couple

    ‘Vincent Troy?’ Sherry’s expression darkened almost immediately the moment she looked at him. ‘What is he doing here? Did he follow me?’ She tightly gripped her wine glass as she sidestepped away from the railings of the balcony while making sure her gaze not once left Vincent’s. Maintaining a calm
