ENCHANTED LOVE - Season 7 Episode 92

Anthony was at first stunned to be questioned by Charles. But then he recovered quickly.

Anthony turned to Charles and said, “Mr. Taylor, are you kidding me when you ask me about the baby’s whereabouts!”

“Spare me all this pretence and nonsense!” Charles flew into rage at Anthony’s refusal to tell him the truth. He jabbed a finger towards him and bellowed, “It was you who spirited Sheryl away to America. It is you who should be responsible for her amnesia. It is only you who know where the baby is.”

Charles then grabbed Anthony by the collar and threatened him with undesirable consequences if he did not relent and tell Charles everything.

“Let go of me!” Anthony gave a cold smile and challenged Charles, “Yes, I have knowledge of the little one’s hiding place. I choose to keep it away from you. There is nothing you can do about it!”

Anthony cast a contemptuous glance at Charles and said, “You did not come to Sheryl’s rescue when she was in deep misfortune. Now you come to pester her and put an end to her comfortable and secure life.”

Anthony sneered, “Charles, it would be better for you to walk out of Sheryl’s life.”

It was Sheryl who had been determined to take the pill in order to forget her past. However, Anthony was facing the music for that after the lapse of three years.

“I am supposed to walk out of Sheryl’s life? Me?” Charles echoed Anthony’s words in a sarcastic voice, “It was you who induced Autumn to drug herself when she was at her weakest. Anthony, you have craftily hidden your improper thoughts and lust for her. Do not dare to interfere in our conjugal affair. Last but not the least, the baby is innocent. I will not see him harmed in any way. Now please tell me where the baby is.”

At the beginning, Anthony had felt somewhat guilty to wrest Sheryl from Charles. After all, Sheryl had been drugged by Nancy at that time and had lost her cool.

Subsequently, she had forgot her past including her marriage with Charles.

At the beginning, Anthony had instituted many careful searches to find Leila and Charlie. He discontinued his efforts after having learning that Leila would take good care of the little baby.

As his affinity and intimacy with Sheryl grew, Anthony stopped thinking about the matter and focused only on Sheryl and Shirley.

When he returned to Ylanbu with Sheryl, he met Charlie again. He was happy to find the little boy well cared for by Charles. Thus, his guilt was somewhat quelled.

“You can rest assured. The baby is safe and sound.” Anthony broke free Charles’s fist and said, “Charles, I can tell you where the little boy is being concealed on the condition that we negotiate a deal.”

“A deal?” Charles became suspicious and questioned Anthony, “What kind of deal?”

“Since you are dying to know your little baby’s hiding place,” Anthony grinned and continued, “I will give you the information provided you promise to stay away from Sheryl.”

Anthony mercilessly wanted Charles out of the way so that he could monopolize Sheryl.

Anthony risked saying these words even at the expense of arousing further hostility between him and Charles.

But he didn’t care. He could do anything as long as he could be with Sheryl. Charles flew into rage at Anthony’s deal and then punched Anthony on the face to quench his anger. “Anthony, how dare you!”

Anthony was expecting this blow, though the pain it caused almost distorted his face.

He ignored the pain, gave a cold smile and said, “It seems you value Sheryl more than the baby, so spare all this hypocrisy of loving your child!”

“Shut up! Don’t utter nonsense!” Charles was angered and sneered, “I have come to realize that you are a man of duplicity. You pretend to be decent on the surface but have a black heart.”

Charles gripped Anthony’s collar tighter with one hand, and pointed at Anthony menacingly with the other. “I will abandon neither Sheryl nor the baby, so stop all your scheming ways!”

“Why are you so angry? I do not see any harm with my deal. It will be mutually beneficial to both of us,” Anthony incited Charles who was about to conclude their conversation and leave the scene.

Anthony’s aggressive remarks triggered Charles to land another heavy blow on his face. This punch made Anthony’s nose bleed profusely.

Charles found that this was a good time to beat Anthony up and release all his frustrations. He wanted his vengeance and the satisfaction of hurting Anthony as he had been hurt by him.

Charles’ impulse to beat Anthony up was at its peak.

A woman’s shout momentarily distracted him.

Anthony took immediate advantage of Charles’ distraction to gain the upper hand. “Come on. Fight me, you bastard. Let us see who wins.”

Anthony sneered and spoke aggressively to Charles, “I was on the point of being engaged to Sheryl. You came back into her life and spoilt it all.

Now you deserve my whipping and thrashing.”

Sue decided not to go the pub. She wanted to have an early night after finishing dinner with some friends. She came back home early, only to see the fight going on between Anthony and Charles.

Sue had no doubt that Anthony had come to blows with Charles because of Sheryl. She just could not figure out Sheryl’s appeal to men. What was it about her that led gentlemen to behave like beasts and fight over her?
