The Love that Never Really Dies

She snapped out of bewilderment once she felt the man’s gigantic palm around her foot, holding it in a gentle manner as if it was
something precious to him.
Brake!
The moment she thought of moving her foot away from him, they heard another car closing in from afar at top speed.
Who is it?
Subconsciously, she raised her head and looked in the direction of the entrance.
As a thunderous crack filled the desolate space, the roller shutter was banged open from the outside by a black SUV a few
seconds later.
What the hell?
Isaac, who had yet to put on her shoes on her behalf, felt a chill running down his spines and turned around to figure out the
things going on.
He found out it was an SUV on par with the one he owned. On top of that, it was owned by someone from the military.
What’s a militant SUV doing in my garage?
The color started draining from Isaac’s face as he tried to figure out the reason the mysterious figure alighting from the car was
there.
The man alighting from the car had put on his camouflage-print uniform along with a pair of heavy-duty boots.
Isaac stammered his questions with his eyes widened in disbelief, “W-Who the hell are you?”
The man in uniform dismissed his question and had his eyes glued to the woman next to her with his face puckered in irritation
the moment he caught a glimpse of Isaac’s hand on Sabrina’s foot.
He tried his best to suppress his wrath and asked with his teeth gritting in angst, “What are you doing?”
Sabrina’s mind went completely blank as she thought she had been seeing things again when the man showed up out of
nowhere.

What’s he doing here? Am I hallucinating again? Is my mind messing with me again?
Staring at the man in his uniform in the eyes, she felt the man’s intimidating presence as if he was there to take out his foe.
It was the first time she encountered the serious side of the man. She couldn’t even form a complete sentence since she was still
in a state of bewilderment.
Devin couldn’t stand the woman going dead silent anymore. He let loose of his emotions and asked at the top of his lungs, “Have
you not heard me?”
As a result, Sabrina shuddered and inched away from Isaac once she returned to her senses.
It was then Isaac brought himself up and stood in front of Sabrina to defend her, asking the man in front of them, “Who the hell
are you? What do you think you’re doing at the residency of the Sheerwood family? Have you lost your mind or something? How
dare you barge into our place?”
Has he mistaken Devin as just another infantry or something? Why isn’t he stepping aside when his life might be at stake as
well? Is he—
Another glance at Isaac from Sabrina was all it took to get on the nerves of the already enraged Devin.
She couldn’t even explain themselves as the enraged man asked in return, “Are you trying to challenge me? Well, I’ll show you
the things I’m capable of!”
Devin dashed in the direction of Isaac and rendered him incapable of motion by strangling him with all his might.
“Urgh!”
“Argh!”
Sabrina started shrieking in fear at the same moment the man in front of her started growling in pain.
She finally snapped out of bewilderment once she heard Isaac coughing in an attempt to catch his breath after being sent flying
away brutally.
Immediately, she got in front of Devin to stop him and said, “Stop picking on him when he’s just a friend of mine!”

“A friend of yours?”
Devin’s expression darkened the moment she asked him to show Isaac some mercy and considered him her friend.
I’m pretty sure this friend of hers is up to no good! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought her here with him! Also, there was no
way he’d fall on his knee just to put on her shoes on her behalf!
Devin couldn’t figure out the reason he was on the verge of letting loose of his wrath. With that being said, he felt a strong urge
to strangle the duo to take out the pent-up frustration.
He launched another powerful kick in Isaac’s direction and asked while clenching his fists, “Why have you befriended this
smuggler over here?”
Huh? Who’s the smuggler he’s talking about?
Sabrina gaped at the things Devin brought up and repeated after him once she linked the missing pieces of puzzles together,
“W-What sort of smuggler are we talking about? I’m not even aware he’s a smuggler! We were merely out for a blind date!”
“Come again?”
The man let loose of his emotions and yelled at her, “You were on a freaking blind date with him?”
“Y-Yes! M-My aunt introduced him to me and told me he’s quite the man around here! Are you sure you haven’t mistaken him for
someone else—”
Crack!
Sabrina couldn’t even finish her sentence as the infuriated Devin crushed Isaac’s leg with all his might, producing a loud crack in
the garage.
She grasped the hem of her shirt and went dead silent in fear of offending the horrifying man.
