I am a Second Female Lead

Chapter 132: Last Arc 14

Sheri remembers everything. Her first Journey when she was born as Xue Li and then stabbed by the

princess until she was reborn to become Sheri Hoal and was murdered by Eric and Devon. And then

traveled to various dimensions to accomplished missions to save her family. Like a shooting pain hit

her hard when she recalls everything.

She looked at Devon and shakily lift her hand to suppose to caress his face. In the midway, she stops

instead, a question came out from her mouth.

"How could you?" tears started to drop at Sheri's eyes.

Devon directly embraced her.

"I was wrong." Devon was choking while trying to speak.

"Don't touch me," Sheri commanded him and started to slip out of his arms, but Devon wouldn't let go.

"Please give me a chance." He implored her.

"Chance? You are asking me for a chance? How many times I have given you a chance. But how could

you hurt me not once but twice? I have loved you deeply. I was waiting for you the whole time. I was

faithful instead you loved another and married another not once but twice. How could you? And you're

saying to give you a chance."Sheri was shouting while trying to push him. But still, Devon didn't release

her.

"I... I am stupid. I didn't love that woman. I only loved you. Please believe me. The other woman, Janice

I thought it was you but it was not. I'm sorry." Devon started to shed tears.

"Sorry, you say you're sorry. You... you watched me die."Sheri was wailing and started to punch the

back of Devon.

" How could you? How could you?" Sheri's frustration, anger, and pain burst like a volcano.

Devon was silent and allows Sheri to put out her pain and frustration. The whole half an hour Sheri was

frantically keeping on beating the back of Devon and struggling to get out of his embrace. Devon

stayed in his place never bulges and allows her to hurt him. He doesn't mind. He deserves it.

Sheri was so tired of putting out her emotions and everything that is happening.

With so much information she received. Her body can't take the emotional stress, and she fainted.

Devon was startled and call immediately call the doctor. The doctor came and checks on her, and he

explains she fainted due to emotional pressure.

The doctor leaves, and Devon stayed with Sheri on the bed embracing her and keep on kissing her

forehead.

"If you know how much I missed you."Devon gently said.

A few hours ago. Devon was in his office and was searching for the name Du Wen. He found an article

but only one page about the name. He came across the name Xue Li and search for it on the internet

and it came out that it was unknown.

His search has been ongoing for how many days but still no luck.

He was tired and was sitting at his office gently massaging his forehead when Kenzo arrived.

Kenzo was not happy when he walked in.

"Don't tell me you kidnapped her? I cannot find her anymore and there is only one person that I know

who can escape my radar and that is you." Kenzo seriously said.

Devon didn't say anything. Instead, he asked something.

"Do you know anything about history?

"What do you need them for?" Kenzo brows knitted together.

"Do you know anything about Du wen and Xu Li. It is from historical facts, but few knew their story."

"Bro if you can't find in the historical artifacts you can translate it first. Example."

Kenzo walked beside his laptop and type Xue li and translate it and both were surprised by the

outcome.

"Whoa, this is amazing Xue Li in English means, Sheri."

Devon brow knitted together and read it.

"It could be a coincidence and it says Sherry here, not Sheri.

Kenzo disagrees.

"No, You can look at it says Sheri = Xue li."

"hmm...By the way, why are you looking at Sheri Hoal." Devon asked.

"I think I am in love she was great. Remember I found where she lived and planted many bugs. She's

good. She pays someone to possess another identity. She even knows your ex-fiancee is making fool

out of you. Anyway, guess what. I have a video of her doing some exercise and her moves were not

ordinary looked at this."

Kenzo Showed a video of Sheri practicing the moves of Jack Eisner. It was a fast movement of holding

a knife.

Sheri was dress in loose pants and a shirt. She is hitting a dummy. Kicking and punching. When she

started to sweat she removed her t-shirt and left with her sports bra.

Devon brows knitted together when he saw something. He snatches the phone from Kenzo and

immediately enlarges the necklace that Sheri wears. That was the necklace that the time the emperor

died was holding. He keenly looks at it and images shots in his head. After a few minutes. He gets up

and runs and drives toward his mansion.

Kenzo was flabbergasted of what happened but shrugged and looked intently at the video of Sheri. He

keeps on rewinding her video.

Devon rushed home his heart beats so fast and when he arrived at the room where Sheri was. Sheri

was looking at the window. He directly embraced her in her back.

Back at the present time.

While looking at the sleeping Sheri next to him. He recollects how he meets her when they were young.

She's wearing a beautiful white dress and was playing with Snow. He knows that since birth they were

betrothed and he knows she would be his wife to be. He sneaks out of the gathering of the palace and

there he saw her. Standing under the cherry blossom and giggling with the falling flowers. A woman

was frantically run toward her.

"Xue Li don't keep on roaming around the palace you know this is not our home."

"I'm sorry mother." Apologized the young girl.

"It's ok my Xue li is still cute." The woman speaks.

Since then he knows she is his future wife. He was really happy because the girl was cute and gentle

and nice.

Devon keeps on caressing Sheri's face.

"You are still beautiful even in another lifetime."

Sheri brow knitted together and started to wake up. When she was awake, she saw Devon next to her.

Both are looking at each other. Neither one speaks. Sheri broke out the quietness.

"You said you loved me, but I never saw it nor feel it. You never visit me nor write or even look at me.

How can you say you love me?" Sheri did not shout nor angry this time she wanted to know his

reasons. It pains her. Two lifetimes but all resulted in pain.

"Remember, the time we were young, and you gave me a flower and I pushed you. I think you never

saw my so-called mother. She was looking at you and me. You never saw also, I did grab the flower

you gave and keep it. I remember it too well what kind of flower it is. It's a white chrysanthemum. One

of a kind.

From the letter, you gave me every time I have my birthday, and the small gifts you gave. I keep them

all and hide it from my mother.

Remember, the time they said I was ill for almost half a year. Before that happened mother found out

the place where I place all your gifts. She was enraged and I.. I was severely punished." Devon to

make all things clear. He wanted to tell her everything that happened to him and why it happened.

Sheri was a bit shocked because indeed she remembers rumors about him and his mother. That the

empress was maltreating him. She overheard it once when her father was talking to her uncle but she

thought it was just a rumor.

She looks at him and listens to his explanation.

"The time you cease giving gifts when I was in the military. I was wondering since I always keep on

sending you gifts whenever I go away. Unknowingly my so-called mother has intercepted every letter

and gifts I gave you. Even the time before I went to the south border. I wanted to meet you, but I

couldn't. I was a coward to come close to you because you are so beautiful and I was scared because NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

of the warning of my so-called mother. She repeatedly keeps on giving me a warning that she will harm

you and your clan if I don't listen. So I left without meeting you.

You grew up to be a loving, smart, kind and i... i.. i don't have yet the power to defend or protect you

toward my own so- mother. She was cunning, and she will do everything to harm you.

If you remember the time, your whole clan was accused of embezzlement of treasury funds. My so-

called mother organizes all those. Luckily, I found a piece of evidence to prove your clan was innocent.

That was the first warning I got from her.

As the years go by, I slowly uncover the plan of my so-called mother to ruin you and your family. I don't

have yet enough power to gather people on my side. I needed to be strong for us. The princess. I didn't

actually wed her. I seek someone to pretend to marry her. In reality. You are my real wife since I made

it official our paper. I was supposed to give it to you at the temple, but it was too late.

I know before that the princess is a spy but I play along with them. My biggest regret is I am a coward

and weak that I can't protect you. I miscalculate her moves. On the end you went I was devastated.

That's why I went to that old woman and asked her to perform the ritual so that that I can be able to

look for you. On the end. I again made another mistake. In this world, I won't make a mistake. I have

found you. I have found you at last." Devon started kissing her forehead. Tears started to stream in his

cheek.

Sheri the whole time knows some of the stories. It all made all clear. Indeed, the Empress was looking

at her differently, and she continuously always finds trouble for her and humiliated during gatherings.

Sheri never knew, all those bad things that were happening in her family were orchestrated by the

empress.

"I remember the time I was sick they said someone came and gave the antidote. Where you that

person in disguise?"Sheri looked at him.

"Hmm", Devon nodded.

"The time that I was supposed to drink the tea that was offered by your mother and at the same time

the cup I was holding was broken because of a small stone. Were you that person who they said

someone is trying to assassinate the empress?"

Devon nodded again.

"Why is that I never saw all of those when I was looking at my self?" Sheri thought

Sheri remembers all that every time. She goes to the palace strange things happened. Sheri cannot

count how many times already.

"So all the while you were there but why did you not even talk to me." Sheri looked at him.

"I wanted to but it was too late. I was supposed to finish that woman in the temple. But I never knew

she moved first. I was supposed to keep you at the temple and keep you safe until I presented the

crimes my mother did. I did plan that day but it was too late." Devon felt the pain again of that day.

Sheri can see it was indeed distressing for him to remember.
