Love Contract

Lucas's phone rang all of a sudden.

He was appreciating the pouring rain outside the window when he was started by the sound of a phone call. He hurriedly picked up his phone on the desk and looked at the caller ID. Seeing it, he answered with a frown, "Hello?"

"Well... You... you called me the other day? What's up?"

On the other end of the line came the faltering voice of Jazlyn, accompanied by Aisha's faint snickers. "Ha ha! If you miss Dr. Murong, just tell him directly. Be a woman! Why do you pretend to ask what's up? He must be worried about you and miss you already!"

"Boss! What are you talking about?" Jazlyn shouted at Aisha on the phone. Then she turned to Lucas and said, "If you don't have anything to say, I'll hang up now!"

"Wait!" Lucas stopped her in a hurry. "I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Jazlyn quickly put the phone back to her ear.

"How about I wait until you come back? Aren't you in Japan now?" Lucas pressed his lips and added, "Are you all right? Is everything okay?"

"I'm okay." Jazlyn blushed and walked out of the airport with Aisha. "We just came back. We are at the airport now. What can I do for you?" "Is Aisha with you?" "Yes, she is." "You can ask Aisha to listen together." Lucas sighed and added, "It's about Mary and William. They two have been in conflict recently..." Then, he told the whole thing to the two women.

"Damn it! Jazlyn, come with me to William's house right now!" After hearing what Lucas said, Aisha shouted at the other end of the phone, "What a bastard, William Lan! How dare he hit my sister! I'll make him pay back double!"

Lucas rubbed his eyebrows and said, "How about you go and see Mary first? She doesn't even want to see me now. Go and comfort her."

"I see. I understand." Jazlyn nodded and hung up the phone. She pulled Aisha and together, they went to Barry's villa.

Meanwhile, the iron gate of Barry's villa was soaked in the heavy rain. William kept calling Mary's name outside while clutching the wet gate. His voice that was once energetic was now hoarse and somehow inaudible. If anyone heard him right now, he or she would have panicked.

"Mary! I was wrong! Please come out and talk to me."

Squeak!

Finally, Aisha and Jazlyn arrived at Barry's villa. As soon as they saw William, Aisha jumped out of the car with a cold face and ran to him. "William Lan! You bastard!" William turned around to see who had spoken. "Aisha..."

Slap!

It happened so sudden William had no time to react. Before she could even stop walking, she slapped him and sneered, "William Lan, you jerk! Holy shit! I thought you're responsible, but you're useless!" William turned his head and endured the slap silently.

"You hurt my sister while I was away," Aisha continued angrily. "She is my only family. No matter how you hurt her, I'm sure to get back at you! Just so you know, I slapped you on behalf of my sister!" 'Tm sorry." William lowered his head in shame.

"Sorry? That's not enough!" Aisha snorted and punched William's belly. "Do you think your sorry would suffice? Let me tell you this, even if my sister still wants to be with you, I won't allow it! I will take her and her two children away!"

"No! Please don't!" With a frown, William held Aisha's hand and begged, "Aisha, I'm really sorry. I can't live without her."

"Don't touch me with your filthy hand!" Aisha was so angry that she clasped William's arm and kicked him hard on the knee.

"Ouch!" With a groan, William knelt down on the ground.

"Just kneel down there! Let's see if my sister will still forgive you, a playboy full of lies!" Aisha shook off her hands as if to get rid of dirt from William, and left.

"Alas!" Standing aside, Jazlyn sighed silently and followed Aisha into the villa.

In the villa, when Mary saw Aisha and Jazlyn come back safe and sound, she smiled at them. Although the smile was a little bitter, Jazlyn admired her very well. 'A woman is admirable the most when she is strong.'

Outside the villa, William was still yelling and begging. Aisha could not stand it anymore so she turned to Jazlyn. "Call Lucas and ask him to take that annoying guy away." Jazlyn nodded and made the call. As soon as the call was done, she turned to Aisha and said, "Lucas said he

would be here soon."

In Lucas's apartment, upon receiving the call from Jazlyn, Lucas immediately called Archer. Afterwards, he waited for Archer to pick him up.

After a while, Archer's car had arrived. Lucas ran into the car hurriedly. Once inside, he patted the rain on his body.

"Is Aisha back?" Archer asked while starting the car.

"Yes, she just came back. She went to get even with William," Lucas replied with a smile.

"What a vigorous and resolute woman! No wonder..." Archer was supposed to say something when he trailed off midsentence.

"No wonder what?" Lucas frowned and suddenly asked, "Have you found out anything about them?"

"Nothing."

"Who the heck are they?" Lucas's curiosity was apparent. Even though Archer said he found nothing, something in his voice suggested otherwise. "Is there anything that you can't tell me?" With a shrug, Archer responded, "Actually, there is nothing I can't tell you."

"Tell me everything then." Lucas narrowed his eyes and urged Archer to tell him the truth.

"According to my research, Aisha and Jazlyn are members of the International Criminal Police

Organization. You probably know it as Interpol."

"Oh, Interpol! I see!" Hearing that, Lucas breathed a sigh of relief. He had always thought that Jazlyn was from the underworld!

Archer drove fast and they were able to arrive at Barry's villa shortly after, splashing water everywhere.

"What a crazy man! You are insane!" When Lucas saw William kneeling in the rain, he cursed and got out of the car with a black umbrella. Archer followed him right away.

Kneeling on the ground without saying a word, William felt that the wound on his shoulder seemed to open again. Also, Aisha's punches hurt him badly. With a pale face, he pursed his lips and stared at the villa pathetically.

"William!" Archer walked to him, and threw away the umbrella in a fit of rage. When he reached William, he grabbed his collar and roared, "Do you know who kidnapped Mary's children? It was him! It's Frank! The one whom you tried your best to protect!"

"You... What did you say?" William's eyes widened. "But it was Andy Duan..."

"What could Andy Duan do alone?" Archer said with disappointment, "Frank colluded with Andy, and then betrayed her when she was of no use to him. Don't you understand?! That group of well-trained people were from Japan! Do you know Shadow Organization? It was Corbett! He must have offered Frank his men."

There was a flash of light in William's muddled brain. No wonder the group of people suddenly put down their weapons when they saw him. Moreover, they said that they only wanted Mary...

It was Frank all along! Frank wanted to kill Mary! He also wanted to kill William's children!

After saying that, Archer loosened William's collar at once.

William lost his balance. He fell heavily on the muddy ground with his face first.

The bean sized raindrops fell from the sky, and he hoped that he stayed in the rain forever. He wished that the rain could cleanse his body and sins, and clear his confused brain.

"William!" Lucas shouted and ran over. He squatted in front of William and asked anxiously, "How are you? Are you all right?" He turned to Archer and said, "Come and help me!" Lucas threw away the umbrella and added, "He is injured. He will have a fever if he goes on like this! II

Archer shot him a resentful look before helping him up.

Squeak!

Jazlyn walked out with an umbrella. She opened the iron door, and looked at the situation in front of her. "Why are you so late? Take him away quickly!"
