Chapter 222: PSYCHOPATH
"Why are you doing this?" Erika suddenly asked. She would like to know the real reason behind Adrian’s sudden obsession with her. It was something that grew out of regret and then to this.
"You know the reason, Erika, and I don’t have to repeat it," Adrian replied. "You just had to overwork me this morning and last night by making me look for you. Do you see this injury that your brother, Felix gave me," he asked her as he pointed to his black eye. "He suddenly came to the club and threw me across the roof," he added through gritting teeth.
For some reason, the more he remembered that scene, the more angry he was. He suddenly felt like a coward. The sister had beaten him up and so had the brother, it was beginning to be annoying, he thought to himself.
"You deserved it," Erika managed to say, bringing Adrian out of his thoughts.
"You have the guts to say that," he remarked. "And to think that you called the police from my cell phone, I must say, you do have guts," he added.
He had been surprised when he heard that and now, he felt stupid for once believing that Erika was starting to fall for him but unfortunately, he was falling for her trap.
"What were you expecting? For me to stay kidnapped and not do anything? I’m not a weakling Adrian. I’m not like you," she said.
"Hmm...." He hummed. "Now does that mean that I should perhaps get you a phone so that you can call your loved ones too and tell them that they should stop looking for you and also, that you are happy here and you don’t want to go back?" he suggested.
From the way he spoke, Erika could already guess he had gone insane. He was now a complete psycho that she needed to escape from as soon as possible.
"You don’t want to talk?" He asked her when she chose to remain quiet. "Okay, I will leave this to Iza," he pointed at the aid box, "and then we are leaving this place later."
Without spending any more seconds, Adrain reached for the door and turned it open.
Erika on the other hand tried to understand Adrian’s last words before he exited the room.
In no time, Iza arrived and continued from where she’d stopped. From what had happened, Erika already guessed that Adrian didn’t come here to apply any sort of first aid for her injury. He simply came here to mock her helplessness.

Adrian came out of the wall-like door from the opposite side and saw Felicia standing in his way.
"What is it?" He demanded.
"Nothing," she shrugged. "I’m just glad that we have Erika in our grasp back."
"Our?" Adrian raised an eyebrow at her.
"Of course. Or," she affirmed. "Because I have a plan that you might like and I think that we are both going to benefit from it well."
Adrian sized Felicia before he responded, "What kind of plan are you talking about?" He asked her.
Felicia tilted her head to one side and smirked before she declared, "I want to have plastic surgery done and I want to look like Erika."
Adrian stared at her for a few seconds before he simply walked away, making her frown.
"Didn’t you hear what I said?" She questioned as she followed behind him.
"I heard what you said alright, but no one is allowed to have Erika’s face if not Erika herself. Especially you," he pointed at her.
"You didn’t even let me finish my plan," she interrupted.
"I don’t think there’s anything that needs to be said. There is no plan in trying to have Erika’s face," he insulted her and Felicia clenched her fist due to the impact.
"Listen to me first," she said. "You did say that Ethan Anderson was alive right?" She suddenly asked and Adrian nodded in response. "And there’s a chance that he could have had a memory loss?" She continued.
"There’s a bullet in his head. There’s no doubt that he wouldn’t have a memory loss," Adrian said confidently. He had received this info from the man that he had planted there to give him a report regarding Ethan’s health issue.
"That means that there’s a chance that he wouldn’t remember Erika right?" She asked.
"Where are you going with this? If you have something to say then just say it?" Adrian snapped at her asking so many questions.
"What I’m saying is, I will have Erika’s face done through plastic surgery and then I can go there and pretend to be Erika," said Felicia as she revealed a smile from under her scarf.
Adrian sized her up again before he asked,
"And why would you want to go to Ethan? Do you know him?"
Felicia shook her head, "I don’t know him but I’m already in love with him," she replied shamelessly.
Adrain suddenly chuckled. He’d forgotten how shameless and a whore his wife was.
"And why would you even want to do this? You have nothing much to gain from this plan?" Adrain suddenly asked her.
"Who says that I don’t have anything to gain from this plan? The Andersons and the Walters are a very powerful family and they are very wealthy. If I go and portray Erika, I would be given the privileges she’s given but the bigger reward is Ethan. If I’m able to fool him, then that will be the end for Erika. I will make him think I’m Erika and together, we will live happily ever after while you are Erika live happily ever after, it’s a win-win for both of us," she concluded with a smirk.
This was it. This was her time to snatch everything that Erika loved the most, Ethan Anderson.
"Okay, let’s be sure that would work but aren’t you forgetting that you are a mother now and you have a child to care for?" Adrain questioned her with a raised eyebrow.
