Shall Under Your Charm

Chapter 68

Everything Farah saw was blurred. For some time, Farah could not see or hear anything. When his nerves returned to normal again, he was already in Gege's arms. Gege's words sounded soft in his ears.

"Farah, listen! Don't fight me, Farah. I want you to come with me. Hurry along!"

"Yes. I'm............,"

"Come, come with me." Gege said with emphasis.

Looks like Farah's body was unable to obey Gege's orders. Farah attempts to reactivate her previously paralyzed brain cells. "How long have I been..... No, I mean how long's Ryan been gone?".

"A few minutes. Oh God. Your skin is ice cold. Farah, you gotta let me get you out of here, before-"

"Before Ryan comes back?"

Moving without a sound, Ryan emerged from the shadow of the bonfire. His perfect figure looked relaxed, his facial expression as calm as his voice. Ryan even smiled, which made the man's eyes look warm and crystal clear. Farah almost forgot that smile.he had never seen that smile again since he accidentally destroyed Andreas' letters in his first attempt to escape. Ryan's face might just be a mask covering what's inside the man. There was no price limit to what Farah had to pay in this world to be able to eliminate the cynicism in Ryan's eyes.

"Farah's tired. I want to take him ". Gege.

"If you really intend to," Ryan said in a calm voice. "then I'll let you take it with you after I've finished dealing with him."

In a gripping silence, Farah could hear her heart racing, beating very fast. Farah's hand found Gege's arm and squeezed it tightly. Ryan still did not want to look directly at Farah.

"Look." Gege's voice was now thick with a cold impression. "If

the question is whether or not you're going to hurt him, it seems to me........"

"The question isn't whether I'm going to hurt him or not. The question is, he's gonna cut it into pieces?". Sela Ryan's.

"Can you let me finish what I said first?" ask Gege. "You've already shown very clearly what your intentions are. I realize you know more intelligent hypocrites than I do, but this time, you might be wrong, so for God's sake, why don't you try to think about it tonight? Tomorrow morning, there's enough time if you want to be an asshole."

Finally, Farah felt a brutal attack from Ryan's cold gaze directed straight at her. Ryan slowly walked forward, until they were very close, and Farah could feel the heat radiating from Ryan's body. Ryan's gaze made Farah mute, as Ryan placed a hand on Farah's neck, gently feeling the weak pulse that was a marker of her life.

Gege pulled Ryan's hand from Farah. "Oh, stop it, you venomous snake!" gege said angrily. "Well, can that prove what?"

"I think you want me to show some modesty" Ryan said gently. "Why are you worried? He can defend himself."

Being so close to Ryan, Farah could see Ryan's eyes widening, his breathing choking, and his lips tightening. Emotions rolled in Ryan's eyes like ocean waves, then vanished completely.

"Oh, my God...." Laughter appeared in Ryan's eyes that mingled with anger. "Stop that. We're heading into increasingly dangerous territory. Is it love that makes me want it? Then, I fell in love with all the women I've been with?"

"Oh my goodness" said Gege. "A fast time you've changed. Not long ago you told me that Farah means more to you."

"Over right is more annoying. More causes problems. And not at all satisfactory. I want to talk to Farah After that, you can do whatever you want with her who's left."

Ryan turned his head to the side, to where Keith was leaning leisurely on the boulder. "Gege, Keith."

Submissively, Keith said, "Gege." Then, after that one word did not get any response. "That's enough, babe. Come here."

Gege turned toward Keith slowly, almost reluctantly doing so. With a voice that made Farah's hair stand up, Gege said, "You are indeed part of my world, Keith. But not the center".

There was a fleeting impression of excitement in Keith's dark eyes.

"There's a way to solve this, my beautiful girl. People must learn to be careful with their feelings. You two fucked it up." In an instant, the German-made pistol was already clutched in Keith's hand. His snout was directed directly at Farah. "I'll make it easier. If none of you want to retreat from that girl, I'll pierce her body with a bullet." Keith moved his gun to Farah, Keith said softly. "Don't move much, honey. We don't want you to get seriously hurt."

The two men knew Keith would have pressed the trigger, if none of them would have retreated, but Gege moved first, taking a distance of one metre from Farah, before Keith could finish speaking. Gege stood up while taking a deep breath to control himself.

Farah heard the sound of her blood rustling, as Ryan gestured her to follow the man down the street, All the way to the villa, Ryan either spoke or touched her. The island filled Farah's senses with an unnatural intensity. From the dark bushes, Farah could almost feel the movement of every twig there. Farah's eyes ached as she watched the fireflies fly and disappear like fairies. Farah could hear the sound of leaves being stomped on her feet, the sound of pebbles, and the sound of the swirling of her dress as she walked. His hearing, vision, and smell felt sharper because of his tense nerves.

Inside the villa, Ryan takes Farah down a deserted passageway leading to Farah's bedroom. Ryan gestured for Farah to get into it and catch up later, by closing the door behind him. Only a glimmer of moonlight entered through the window of his room which made the room not look completely dark.

The fear and the brisk walking up the hill had drained Farah's energy. Farah's hunting breath mixed with the sound of Ryan's movements as she lit a candle beside Farah's bed, which then made the room brighter. On top of her bed sheets that are topaz still lying comb and nightgown that Farah had placed with a rush. The book is still open on the table. A gust of wind kept the pages of the book open. Ryan closed the book and turned to face Ryan.

"Take off your clothes" Ryan said.

Farah stood up, motionless, looking down at her intertwined hands, noticing her rapid, irregular breathing.

"You didn't hear me, little cat? Remove clothes. No need to be embarrassed. Do the same with me as you did with Andreas."
