Ice and Fire

Jackson was jealous about the obvious affection Mond felt towards Cherry and growing enraged. He asked, "What's wrong with me slapping my woman? How is it your business?"

Jackson's questions were infuriating Mond more by the second and he stepped closer Jackson. In a deliberately low voice he threatened, "Jackson Chu, you know what, if I want something, I will have it!"

"Mond Xu, I know the Chu Family owns you, but don't you dare touch her. If you want something, just tell me and I'll get it for you." Jackson was fearful deep in his heart. How would he survive the sorrow of losing Cherry again? If Cherry left him, he would break.

"Jackson Chu, why do you take everything good? Why?" Mond demanded, the hatred in his eyes grew stronger. If Mond's birth were a mistake, what followed was a bitter joke.

Jackson didn't answer Mond because he didn't know what to say.

Mond continued, "Jackson Chu, can you guess more? If I'm interested in Cherry, will I kill her?"

"Mond Xu, I've told you, don't touch her." Jackson replied angrily, knowing deep in his heart Mond hated his guts.

Listening to Jackson, Mond suddenly smiled gently as he continued, "It appears Cherry is very important to you, Jackson Chu. Now, I believe the game is much more fun, more than I could have imagined."

"Mond Xu, I didn't force you out in the past, but that doesn't mean I won't do it now." Jackson threatened as he thought about how he hadn't hurt Mond in the past, but, he wouldn't let anyone harm Cherry, and if anyone did, it wouldn't end well.
