Chapter 261: STABBED HIM
Another gunshot echoed, this time the birds in the trees scattered and flew for their lives.
Adrian looked around the surroundings and ordered. "Go and find out what’s happening." His men quickly left there with their guns in their hands, to go and find out where the gunshots were coming from. They knew for a fact that neither of their men would fire a gun all of a sudden since it was the wedding of their boss and also, the sound of that gun was too loud. They always used a silencer just in case.
As soon as his men left, Adrian pushed Iza away and pushed Erika’s wheelchair and was about to head back inside the house to keep her away from any prying eyes but was surprised when she abruptly sat up from the wheelchair, stunning not only him but Juliet and Mary as well, who have already stood up to run for their lives.
"You can stand?" Adrian asked, surprised. This was the last thing that he needed for Erika to be able to do now. If she could stand, then she could walk, and if she could walk, she would try to escape and this was their wedding day. "When did you begin to stand?" He added.
Without spending a single time to reply to his questions, Erika immediately ran away from there and Iza made sure to follow behind her because Erika’s legs were still weak and she could fall any moment.
"Get here!" Adrian yelled to the other few men who stood around and waited for orders. They immediately began chasing the two women who were heading towards the main entrance of the house. Adrian also followed along and aimed to catch Erika before she could exit that place.
Juliet and Mary quickly left their seats and stood impatiently, waiting for the men to come back with their reports.
"Shouldn’t we go hide?" Juliet asked her mother. Now it was only the both of them and the priest who stood at the altar. The others have left after hearing the sound of the gunshots. "I feel like we are being stupid for staying here," she added.
"Let’s follow Adrain then," said Mary, and the both of them also headed in that direction.

At the front entrance of the house lay two dead bodies who were wearing black suits that looked darker because of the blood that oozed out from their open wounds.
"We need to go and find Erika now," said Ethan when he took a gun that lay on the body of the van where several other men in army uniforms trotted out from.
"You can’t!" Felix tried to stop him but Ethan had already left that spot, leaving it empty and Felix could only sigh. He was about to follow behind Ethan and help him out since he still needed to be careful because of his medical condition but suddenly, bullets were fired at them.
Some of the military men had already scattered into the house while the ones who were still outside with the Walters brothers quickly shielded their bodies with the help of the van.
Once they got their chance to fire back, they would slightly sneak out their heads and do so but it was too dangerous and some lives were wasted in the process.
In the middle of the exchange of bullets, Daniel asked. "Where TF is Ethan?!"
Felix quickly killed off a bodyguard who was about to fire a bullet at them from inside the house before he replied. "He’s off to go find Erika!!" He yelled back.
"Is he crazy?!!" Daniel questioned in a loud voice but was completely enveloped by the piercing sound of the fired bullets they exchanged between each other.
The more the bodyguards died, the more they poured out, totally making it difficult for anyone else to enter the house and assist Ethan.
At the corner of the house, Erika and Iza ran as fast as they could, nearly making their legs touch their shoulders from behind because they could hear Adrain’s steps coming in closer to them.
"We need to go inside the house mam, that’s too much gunshot and we don’t even know where it’s coming from," Iza warned Erika and the latter changed her direction.
The both of them entered the living room and found the other maids running for their lives after hearing the numerous gunshots.
Some were heading out while some simply found a place to hide.
"Let’s find a place to hide..." Erika didn’t get to finish her words and suddenly felt her hands being gripped tightly by a larger one. She looked up to find Adrain glaring down at her and for a moment, her heart skipped a beat out of fear.
"Where do you think you are going?" Adrian questioned her through gritted teeth. He gripped her hands so tightly that it seemed he wanted to break her bones and the impact hurt her.
"Let me go," she demanded but Adrian smirked at her and pulled her along with him, heading upstairs, where his room was located.
Erika tried as hard as possible to release her hand from his grip but he would only tighten it and force her upstairs with him.
"Let go of me, you bastard!" She cursed but Adrian played deaf ears.
Iza stood and watched Erika being pulled away but didn’t feel comfortable with it.
She rushed towards them and kicked Adrian from the back, aiming at his weak point but the latter didn’t feel a thing. Erika sighed, knowing that Iza had no experience in fighting which was why her kick felt like nothing to Adrian.
Adrian turned out of annoyance when Iza continued to kick him and pointed his gun at her forehead as he threatened, "Try that one more time and lose your life."
Of course, Iza didn’t dare to move a single inch anymore. She stood like a statue, internally praying to God that she wouldn’t lose her life that day.
Noticing that Adrian was distracted, Erika quickly brought out her knife and stabbed Adrain in the hand that he used to grab her.
