Chapter 228: CLENCHED
"Ahh...I see," she nodded her head as she tried as she fiddled with her fingers. Not sure of what to say anymore, she kept quiet.
Viper glared at the woman who stood in front of him. He’d heard from Adrian that she was a cheating wife and it was so obvious that she wanted him to put his truck in her junk but that wasn’t going to happen no matter the kind of ideas she came up with.
He was supposed to have gone with Adrian to head to the police station but after because he would be asked several questions there, he decided to just go behind.
When he attempted to leave from there, Felicia suddenly grabbed his wrist and instantly, he swayed her hands away. Her actions had only annoyed him further as he glared down at her.
"How dare you touch me?" He demanded.
Felicia suddenly felt all the hairs on her neck stand on each of their ends. Have I angered him? She asked herself.
Without any warning, Viper pushed her away and she felt her body hit the wall hard and she ended up yelling in pain.
"Don’t think I don’t know that you are trying to use but let me tell you this in case you don’t know so you will know it now, I don’t sleep with a used woman," he spits out disdainfully leaves her to continue his search without feeling any remorse. But she deserved it
Felicia held her shoulder which was causing her pain as she glared at Viper.
This man is going to be a tough one to get, she thought to herself.

Leaving there after he thought that she had already handled Felicia, Viper saw one of the men who walked around the house and asked, "Where’s Erika’s room?"
The guard bowed his head respectfully since this was the main boss before he replied.
"Her room is the first one by the left after you enter the hallway but I don’t think you will see her there, boss."
"And why is that?" Viper asked with furrowed eyebrows.
"That’s because she and her maid Iza and taking a stroll around the house. The last time I saw them, they were outside," the bodyguard replied.
"What? What if she tries to escape again?" Viper asked worriedly. He’d heard from Adrian earlier about Erika’s escape which led to all these. And now he was worried that she would try to escape again and he would never see her again.
"Don’t worry boss, three of the bodyguards are following them wherever they go so she can’t escape from here no matter what," the bodyguard replied with an assured tone.
Viper left to go outside and see truly for himself. Reaching outside, he saw Erika in a wheelchair, behind her was a maid whom he assumed to be Iza who was pulling the wheelchair for her.
Once he saw the big bandage that was wrapped around her leg, he became infuriated.
Walking towards her, he called her name softly,
"Erika."
Erika turned to face the person who was calling her name. When she saw the same man who always acted weird in front of her, she could only sigh helplessly. He was the last person she wanted to see at the moment.
After arriving where he was, Viper came to a stop and said, "Excuse us." This command was directed to the bodyguards and the maid who nodded their heads obediently and left with uttering a word of protestion.
Squatting down to Erika’s level, Viper glanced at her bandaged leg and questioned,
"Who was the one who shot you?" He needed to know who.
Not sure why he wanted to know who it was, but Erika still responded.
"It was one of the bodyguards but Adrian had already killed him."
"That’s good," he replied softly. If Adrain had not killed the one who had shot her, he would have been the one to kill him.
Feeling that he’d been staring at her for too long now without saying anything, he cleared his throat thoroughly before he finally decided to utter a word.
"I heard that you had tried to escape from there. You got guts," he commented with an amused smile
"Why does everyone keep on saying I got guts? Do you think I want to be here? Shouldn’t I escape and go back to meet my family?" Her questions were mostly directed towards herself and not Adrian which the man frowned at first before a smile graced his lips.
"But why would you want to leave here though? Aren’t you happy here with Adrian? Your ex-husband?" He asked her. He wasn’t quite familiar with what they had shared before but from what Adrian said, Erika still loved him and now he was starting to doubt that was the truth since she’d tried to escape and not be happy with him. He knew that none of these were his business but now, he couldn’t help but be curious.
"Whoever told you that must be lying to you," Erika concluded.
Back inside the house, Felicia glared at Erika with so much hatred in her eyes. She couldn’t believe that Viper wouldn’t succumb to her seduction but would rather go and be with Erika.
"Why does that bitch have to get everything that I want?" She questioned through gritted teeth. From their distance, she hoped that her glare could just turn into daggers and stab Erika until she lost her life.
Seeing the both of them talking together irked her so much that she clenched her fists tightly and dug her nails into her skin. ’This isn’t happening. I saw him first so I should be the one to have him and not Erika,’ she thought to herself.
Resisting the urge to growl and run over there to scratch Erika’s face with her nails, Felicia could only dig her nails more into her skin and stay in one place. "What could they be talking about?" She thought out loud.
