Chapter 111: OLD TRICK
"Yes, I’m okay", she replied to the security man. Staring intently at the two men who looked like they were about to piss in their pants, Erika questioned them. "Who sent you?!"
The two men stared at each other first as if contemplating if they should talk or not.
"I see that you both are not serious huh? But I am. If you don’t talk in three seconds, I am going to blow your brains out, how about that?" She threatened them with a fierce look that made them shiver terribly. Seeing that they still were not willing to talk, she started a countdown.
"One!" and immediately, the one who was pointing the gun at her earlier started spilling.
"We are so sorry mam. It was Felicia Hart who asked us to have you kidnapped and raped. Yes, she was the one", he confessed as his body shivered terribly in fear.
Erika was not surprised at all that Felicia would want to have her killed.
"So she asked you to kidnap me and then kill me?" She questioned them.
"No", the one with the handkerchief spoke this time as he aggressively shook his head. "She told us to rape you and then take videos of it and upload it on the internet to ruin your image", he confessed.
The security men at the scene were shocked. How could a woman order that to be done to her fellow woman? She was heartless.
Erika only scoffed at what he said. That old trick. Can’t they think of something better to do to her? She asked herself.
"Well today is not your lucky day, you both are going to prison. And you are going to tell the police exactly what you told me right now, do you understand?" She asked them and they abruptly nodded their heads in unison.
"What happened?" Ethan asked Erika in a worried tone. Erika had called him to come to the company and he rushed over as soon as he could.
Erika glanced at him before narrating the whole thing that had happened. A big frown found its way onto Ethan’s face after she finished.
"They didn’t hurt you right?" Ethan asked again as he stared at her from head to toe.
"Don’t worry. Am fine," she assured him as she leaned on the couch thinking of a better way to teach Felicia a lesson.
"So what should we do to Felicia? Do you want to arrest her?" He asked her.
Erika thought for a moment before answering. "No. Going to the prison would be an easy punishment. She wanted to ruin my reputation right? Well then, two can play the game". Erika didn’t need to explain any further because Ethan clearly understood what she meant.
"You are becoming a little devil", he teased her as he tickled her all over her body.

"Where have you been?" Adrain questioned Felicia who had come home late the previous night, wearing skimpy clothes with heavy makeup.
It looks like no man’s wife.
"How is it your business?" Felicia questioned him back and walked away after she was done brewing her coffee. They had no maids at their home anymore since they had to fire them all.
"You listen to me," Adrain said in a warning tone as he pulled her back by her hand. "I am still your husband and I am still the head of this house so you had better answer my question!"
Felicia scoffed. "And so what?" She questioned while sizing the living room. "Should I bow down to you, Adrain?" She asked with a sarcastic tone.
Adrian had to control his anger to not physically abuse her. Felicia intended to walk out from there again but Adrian aggressively pulled her back.
"Felicia, you had better mind your tongue", he warned her as he pointed his index finger at her. "I am doing my best to get us out of this mess here but what are you doing? You are going out, and partying when you know that we are financially unstable?"
"What else do you want me to do?" She aggressively banged her hand on the dinner table. "You said that you are the man of the house right? Then solve your problem and don’t bring it to me!" She yelled and strode away.
"FELICIA!" Adrain called her back but she ignored his call and continued to walk away from there.
Adrain sighed. He had planned on selling the main mansion but he had not been lucky so far. He had been doing some part-time jobs lately to get some money inside his pocket but he had overworked himself way too much.
He strode towards the small cable TV he had replaced with the first big one that he had sold to get some money. While turning it on, he went to the refrigerator to grab some beer.
Going to sit back down, he tuned in from one channel to another. He read business news as if he was still a CEO. Old habits seem to never die.
Changing the channel again as he sipped his beer from time to time, Adrain saw a video on the screen before unintentionally changing the channel.
With a curious expression evident on his face, Adrain went back to the channel, and the video on the screen played again. He stared at the TV in shock. The cable TV might be a small one with low quality but he could still identify the female who was being banged by the man whose face could not be seen clearly.
Feeling as if his heart had jumped into his stomach, Adrain rewatched the video several times to be certain that he wasn’t seeing things. Another video played as the woman on TV kept reporting the scandal.
With heavy breathing, he abruptly ran to the room Felicia was in. Seeing her casually lying on the bed, anger filled his heart, and without a second thought,
PAK!! Felicia felt the skin on her right cheek go numb.
