Chapter 176: ALIVE
"Let’s forget about that and not talk about them, this is our moment," he said with a grin.
"Now tell me, where do you want to go?" he asked her.
"Out of here."
Adrian chuckled. "You know that’s not possible, sweety."
Erika clenched her fist under the table and just wished she could punch him right in the face but she controlled her anger. Ethan will be the one to do that, she thought to herself. Now she wondered where he could be and what he was doing and how her family was doing.
"Are you still thinking of Ethan?" asked Adrian. "You go ahead and continue to think about him but I assure you this, no matter how much you think about him, he’s never going to come back to life," he added.
Erika abruptly stood up and asked, "What makes you think that Ethan is dead?! Did you kill him?!" She was getting tired of hearing him repeat the same thing about Ethan over and over again and it annoyed her.
Adrian stared at her for a few seconds before he said, "Come, let me show you something." He stood up and was about to leave but sensed Erika didn’t follow him as he told her to. "If you want to find out about what happened to Ethan, you will have to follow me, else, you might just die hoping that he will come here and rescue you."
Without waiting for her to follow him, he walked away. Erika tried as much as possible to drag her feet and follow him. The amount of confidence and assurance Adrian had when talking about Ethan’s death made her heart skip several beats and it also made her feel uncomfortable.
Quickly, she followed him and saw him heading to what seemed to be the living room of the house.
Adrian took the remote and turned on the TV for her to watch the news.
Erika stiffened as she watched the news. Ethan’s body was being put into the ambulance and announced dead with his face covered with a white cloth. The Walters mansion that caught fire and everything.
"You see Ethan? He is dead and I was the one who killed him," Adrian revealed as he unleashed a psycho laughter.
Without Erika realizing it, tears fell from her eyes as she subconsciously shook her head. "N-no," she choked on her word as she continued to watch the news, finding everything impossible to believe.
"It was really fun killing him, shooting him in the head. I’ve stored that gun as my favorite gun and every time I see it, I will remember how I killed him. Don’t worry, you were also there so you aren’t left out. But unfortunately, you didn’t see him breathe his last breath because you were unconscious," he mocked with joy evident in his tone.
With a fierce glare, Erika tore her eyes away from Adrian and launched an attack on him. She started by kicking him between his legs before she kicked him on his chest and the latter fell on the ground with a groan of pain.
"My Ethan isn’t dead!" she declared loud enough for him to hear. Without wasting another second, she pounced on him and unleashed several punches on him, hitting his ribs, face, and chest, trying to make sure she hit his vital organs so that she could possibly kill him.
Adrian on the other hand tried as much as possible to evade her attack but she had surprised him with it and he couldn’t dodge quickly.
When she pounced on him, he thought her punches would be soft since he never thought that she could fight but Erika surprised him by punching him harder than he thought, making him feel the unexpected pain in his ribs and chest.
Feeling unsatisfied with the injuries on his face, she growled and searched for any furniture to throw at him. Adrian also stood up and got as far away as possible from her. Her face had turned red and her blue eyes were unrecognizable. It had darkened.
"Erika, don’t do something that you might regret. I’m your future husband and this is not how you are supposed to treat your husband," he tried to pacify but his words only drove her more mad.
Without spending any extra second, she threw the vase that she could find around her towards him with such speed that Adrian couldn’t completely dodge the shattered glass and some of it pierced his skin.
"My Ethan isn’t dead, do you hear me?!" she demanded.
The sound of the shattered vase gained the attention of the other neighbors of the mansion and they quickly ran out, only to find Adrian looking like someone who came out from war with so many injuries inflicted on his face while Erika looked like a vexed tiger.
"You bitch! What do you think you are doing here?!" Felicia questioned Erika but the latter didn’t bother to respond to her. Her main goal was to kill Adrian at that moment and she didn’t care if she lost her life.
Erika ran towards Adrian and kicked his jaw and the latter ended up spitting out a mouth filled with blood and landed on the ground with a heavy thud.
The men around the mansion quickly rushed over and tried to drag her away when she was about to kick him again but she was too strong to be dragged away with just two hands. The men dropped their guns and used four hands to drag her away which turned out successful.
"Erika! You must be crazy. Having you here is already torture but how dare you beat up Adrian like that?" Felicia questioned, trying to poke at Erika. She was about to spit out more insults but when Erika directed her glare at her, she subconsciously clammed her mouth shut.
Her eyes were daring Felicia to spout anything.
Erika tried to struggle with the men that had grabbed her but their four hands were stronger than her two. When she saw Adrian groaning in pain, she wasn’t the least satisfied. She wanted to hit him some more.
