Chapter 226: POLICE
After hearing his words, Erika raised her head to look at Adrian. She saw the smirk that danced on his lips and it irked her so much that she wanted to hit his face right there. If she had wanted to, she would have created chaos in the car and had an accident, but then, who would come to help her afterwards? No one.
"Why are you looking at me as if you want to kill me?" He asked her. Sensing that she still wouldn’t reply to him, he continued, "You better get used to this place because you will be here for a long time, that’s if the police find out about this location either. But even if they end up knowing about it, they still wouldn’t be able to find you here."
After that, he stood back straight and released a sigh before combing his hair with his fingers.
"I’m so stressed out because of you already. Will you just love me back like the way you used to so that I won’t be too hard on you?" He requested. He saw Erika move her gaze away from him to look at something else and he chuckled lightly.
Squatting down again, Adrian leaned towards Erika and waited for her to flinch or say anything but she only looked at him with a plain expression. His gaze suddenly went down to her pale pink lips and he subconsciously wetted his.
Looking back into her eyes, he said, "You know I’ve never kissed you before. I’ve always wondered how your lips would taste and now that I have the chance, why don’t we....." he drawled as he leaned closer towards her, aiming to capture her lips.
Erika’s eyes widened in shock when she saw that Adrian was already closing in on her. She readied her good leg to kick him but luckily for her, before Adrain could capture her lips, a bodyguard came in and said,
"Boss, the big boss has already arrived and he would like to have a word with you."
Adrian hissed before he moved back and got up.
The bodyguards didn’t lurk around anymore and excused themselves.
"I will go and see what Viper wants from me," he told her as if she didn’t hear what the bodyguard had said.
Adrian left the room and went to the living room where Viper was sitting, and in front of him was Felicia who seemed to be entertaining him with her smile. It only took Adrian a quick guess to know that Felicia was flirting with Viper.
"Felicia, go inside," Adrian ordered as he took his seat. Felicia glared at him and stole one last glance from Viper before leaving the sitting room.
’How come I never saw the handsomeness in this man?’ She asked herself as he trotted away.
Facing Viper, Adrian asked, "Has anything been reported yet?"
"Of course," Viper’s response was quick and curt as if he already thought that was the first question that Adrian would ask.
"And the mansion? I’m sure that they are still there," Adrian sighed.
"They are. The police are looking for you everywhere now. It’s no longer safe for you to be in the city," said Viper.
"They won’t be able to find me, besides, this place is also a very secure one so it’s safe, and as for those families, they will get what’s coming to them," Adrain responded as he leaned on the couch, relaxing his tense muscles that had developed after all the running he’d done.
Viper stared at Adrian for a few seconds before he said, "You still shouldn’t forget who you are messing with. Those people are not just ordinary people and you know it. If they wanted to, they could have sent the entire army after you but for some reason, they aren’t but that doesn’t mean that you should be so careless next time. And as for this hideout, you’d better hope that they don’t find out about it also although I doubt they wouldn’t."
From Viper’s tone, Adrian could guess that Viper wasn’t in a good mood. He seemed agitated.
"What’s the problem? Did something happen?" Adrian asked. After the day that the officers had arrested him, Adrain was dumbfounded when he didn’t see Viper in the police station until he was released the next day. He had believed that since he was his right-hand man, he would have rushed to come help him out but unfortunately, it was the opposite that happened.
"Nothing is the problem," Viper replied. Sensing that Viper didn’t want to reveal what was bothering him, Adrian decided to let him be. He wouldn’t want to anger the man and face heavy consequences later.
Glancing around the place, Viper suddenly asked, "Where is Erika?" Although he knew his question wasn’t proper, he still asked.
Confused as to why Viper would be asking for Erika’s whereabouts, Adrian cleared his throat first before he replied,
"She’s in her room, resting." And Viper nodded his head in understanding.
After further investigation about Erika and her background, he finally decided to accept the fact that Erika wasn’t his late wife and never would be. He needed to live with the fact that his late wife was no more and that he should stop fantasizing about Erika but for some reason, he couldn’t. They look so similar in the way they talk and look, he thought to himself.
In the middle of his thinking, he suddenly received a phone call. He pulled out his phone and answered, "What is it?"
After hearing what the caller from the other side said, Viper abruptly stood up from the couch, jolting Adrian. After he finished the call, he glared at Adrian as he spoke, "The police are looking for you at the club."
Adrian’s eyes widened in shock. He had expected to start searching around for him but not this soon. "It hasn’t even been a day and they are already looking for me," he mumbled under his breath.
