Attracted By My Ex-wife

Cherry's sudden shrill shriek took Andrew completely off guard. Andrew promptly drew her into his arms, holding her close to him, and offered words of comfort, "No. We won't make a trip down to the police station. Don't fret. I will protect you."

The man that Andrew was made him always feel pity and the desire to care for a damsel in distress.

Perhaps it wasn't love, per se. There was, however, an undeniable and innate feeling in his being which made him feel that he was duty bound to provide this fragile lady with protection.

Andrew's spontaneous display of compassion and affection had Cherry hooked. She leaned into his embrace, holding him tightly, and she closed her eyes, tension somewhat releasing from her body.

She didn't care who the man that was holding her was and whether or not he had romantic feeling for her. The important thing at this particular moment was that this man was making her feel protected and safe in his strong arms.

Safety was the one thing she truly craved!

However, Andrew's thoughts took on a suspicious nature. 'What on earth had happened to Kristine? Why was Alan such a dominant and controlling presence in her life? And why was her reaction to the mere mention of the police so strongly fearful?

All things seem to point to the logical conclusion that perhaps she had been in trouble with the police before. Perhaps she had even been incarcerated for something...'

Andrew's forehead crinkled as he considered his thoughts. He was beginning to feel even more astonished.

Alan did have some connection to Kevin. Also, Kevin's ex-girlfriend was indeed a spitting image of Kristine.

Further, her full name was Cherry Ye! The ex-girlfriend even shared the same surname with her!

When Kristine had stepped into the limelight of the entertainment industry, people noticed her similarity to Cherry. So they decided to find more information about their relations through human-powered search, but to no avail. They realized that, while Kristine looked very much like Cherry, the two had nothing else to do with each other.

This world was full of amazing coincidences and unprecedented incidents. Although uncommon, it wasn't impossible for two people to display such uncanny resemblance.

Eventually, people could not find any cold hard evidence that the two women were one and the same, and all accepted that Kristine was not in fact masquerading under the new persona of Cherry.

But Kristine's reaction indicated to Andrew that, despite the lack of proof, perhaps she was indeed Cherry.

'Kevin's ex-girlfriend had been incarcerated for murder...

And the poor victim had been none other than Alan's sister!'

As he came to this conclusion, an icy feeling immediately came over Andrew's entire being. He looked at the woman in his embrace. He really did believe this was the only logical explanation, and it was quite plausible.

Regardless of his conclusion, he couldn't bring himself to truly believe that this trembling, meek woman in his embrace had it in her to commit a heinous crime such as murder.

'This woman could be a murderer. Her hands are stained with the blood of an innocent life!'

Thinking of this, Andrew felt utterly repulsed. He had the urge to push her away and break contact immediately. But he felt too awkward to make the move.

Instead, he just let Cherry hold him. Some time passed and Alan did not return. Andrew's body had become stiff being held so tightly by Cherry for such a long period. She had fallen asleep now.

The next day, Cherry was awakened by the incessant beep of her alarm. She rubbed her eyes and realized she had slept through the night in Andrew's arms. She blushed in shyness and moved to the far end of the sofa.

Andrew, however, had not managed even a wink of sleep. The dark circles around his eyes were testament to this. Noting Cherry's sudden movement, his anxiety unwittingly disappeared.

"I'm so sorry I fell asleep on you like that. You might have not rested well. I'll request leave for you from the crew. Just take some time to relax here today," Cherry said quickly, standing up and looking mortified at the situation.

Andrew frowned. His mind was a complete mess.

Now, however, he was convinced that she was Cherry, and a murderer.
