Chapter 357 - Disclosing Secret

Charles\'s brows never changed when he kept a straight face, "Is that so? What kind of emergency is this?"

"My..life is in danger," Sierra muttered without even meeting his eyes. There was a tinge of sadness. But more than that, she was scared. How will he react to her talks?

As expected, he didn\'t believe her. "You… in danger? Hahaha… who would like to kill an innocent person like you?" Charles\' mind can\'t digest the fact about what she just told him.

To him, it was a total bluff.

Sierra lifted her gaze to see his mocking smile that reached his ears, "Why is it hard to believe in my words?"

"Because there shouldn\'t be any threat around you. Your husband is a businessman, you are working in my brother\'s company. What kind of threat can linger on your head?" Charles didn\'t seem to find this usual at all.

His voice held the amount of hatred for the lady in front of him but Sierra didn\'t sense even a bit of fear for her. The self-doubt was constantly making her heart feel shutter already.

"M-My husband is a businessman…b..but he is also in the underworld." only Sierra knew how much courage was needed to disclose this. The fact was deeply hidden, not known even to her own family.

She noted Charles\'s expression changing already. The mockings?of his lowered when a frown curved on his forehead, "D-does your family knows?" In return, he got a negative answer from her side when she shook her head.

"No one knew about this until we married. I only learned when...things were a bit complicated. But except me, his family, no one is aware of this." Sierra told him honestly.

Knowingly, she knew that the man who can provide the maximum amount of safety to her children was only her ex-boyfriend. She hates him, but her hatred can never be above her own children\'s safety…

"If he is in the underworld, he must be having everything to give you security. Why come to me, Sierra?" and for the very first time, he called her name.

Sierra\'s face was immediately lifted from its place to see his doubtful expressions.

The sight she saw, she knew that he didn\'t believe words. But at least, he found them to be believable, not total jokes. "He… had. Things weren\'t managed by him until his father died one year ago."

"Everything was handled by his father, who didn\'t want to transfer things to Jack. But..his abrupt death made things difficult. Everything came on Jack\'s shoulders and..it was so sudden that we never got the time to evaluate things. The sudden, shocked death of his father and… brother\'s encounter.. is all mixed up." she explained honestly with her emotions getting messier over time.

Recalling the times when they heard the information that Jack\'s father died and his brother was killed, made their heart come into their mouth. It was something unexpected and the only thought that crossed her mind was the security of her family… her children…Jack, her friend.

While she explained, Charles only saw her condition. She was getting worse until he heard her husband\'s name from her mouth. \'Jack…. The same I actually searched…\' years ago, he wasn\'t someone who would not even search after the man who was actually snatching his girlfriend. ..his lifeline from him.

But the information about him being involved in the underworld came no less than any shock to him. It was way more dangerous and it was better known to him.

"But he must be having the power…."

"Someone actually attacked our arms and two biggest bases eight months ago. It was when Jack had just started to handle things and we got to hear that there is another person who wants to actually destroy Jack\'s lineage."

Everything that Sierra explained was of high intense information which automatically made Charles\'s lips into a thin line.

There were no words to express what he heard after hearing her worry, but more like a thin thread that was even hard to ignore.

When she stopped in the middle, the waitress brought coffee for both of them. Keeping the same on the table for them, she left, making Sierra take the coffee in her hand. Taking the sip, the taste was that of her favorite.

"Hmm…. this is good…." she mumbled when Charles nodded, "Yeah. this really does taste good."

A faint smile covered her lips when she once again took the sip as some kind of relief washed over her mind. Noting her relaxed body language, made his heart feel the twists but he never showed the same on his face.

Maintaining the same seriousness, he disclosed, "And if I were to actually think about everything...is this the main reason for you to come back to the states?"

Subconsciously, Sierra nodded her head with a deep sigh escaping her lips. "I wanted to safeguard myself and my children. Jack needed to do his work there and…if someone wished to reach Jack, enemies would have attacked either me or my children and that wasn\'t what I was looking forward to."

Her honesty and for the very first time, did he feel her being actually showing her true self.

Since the day she came back, she has been trying to hide her past from everyone.

Who would have actually thought that the first person to whom she will reveal this to will be no one else but her ex-boyfriend?

Charles nodded his head in understanding when he looked outside the window, "If your husband is handling everything back at abroad, then the danger comes to eat you as well. I don\'t know how or why, but coming back here seems to be the worst case."

Sierra didn\'t understand the meaning behind his words. Why will it be the worst in his views?

On seeing that she didn\'t \' find the same to be relevant, did he coughed slightly, "This is because..at least there, your husband would have given you the shelter but here? You are alone."

"A single woman raising her two kids. I don\'t know what kind of husband?Jack is, who would actually let go of his wife and children without thinking twice that those men can actually come after you, even here!"
